Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — During rebirth, the Crown Prince chose the palace maid, I turned around and changed the marriage for King Tinh
People say that I am the Crown Prince, so I must know how to share the burden with the Crown Prince. Therefore, all the bad things in the Eastern Palace were covered up by me, all of Thanh Vu's mistakes were my responsibility, Tieu Thua Canh was harassed by the courtiers, and I instead knelt in front of the Thai Temple. Every time, the Queen stood at the highest position, like a gentle mother watching me sharpen myself, until I became the most convenient scabbard of the Eastern Palace. I looked at Mother Trieu and suddenly asked: "For Thanh Vu to enter the Eastern Palace, is it the Queen's intention, or is it Her Highness's intention?" Mother Trieu's smile faded in the blink of an eye. "Miss Bui, please be careful with your words." I withdrew my gaze. "May the mother convey the words to the Queen. The Bui family's daughter does not know what tolerance is, only knows how to shoot and kill. If the Eastern Palace already has a female master, then from now on the two words 'share the burden', Please don't bring it to Bui Palace again." Mother Trieu's face finally changed. Tieu Thua Canh also stared at me, his eyes were dark and scary. "Chieu Ninh, now even the queen mother, do you dare to argue?" "Your Highness is joking." I adjusted my sleeve. "Even if I don't even enter the Dong Palace anymore, how do I have the right to let the Queen teach me the rules?" After saying that, I did not stay any longer, leading Ha Suong to leave Cam Tu Phuong. Right before stepping onto the carriage, a golden feathered arrow suddenly broke through the wind and crashed into the wooden pillar next to the carriage. Ha Suong was startled and pulled out his sword. I raised my hand to stop her. That arrow carried no killing intent, and at the end of the arrow was tied a black ribbon. I took off the silk ribbon, inside rolled a small piece of paper. The handwriting is sturdy, strong and discreet. "Miss Bui, if you want to withdraw from the Dong Cung chess game, Tinh Vuong Palace can lend you a corner of the chess board." Below are only three words. Ta Lam Xuyen. My fingertips trembled slightly. In his previous life, Ta Lam Xuyen was framed for colluding with the enemy, treason, and his entire family was beheaded. His father once stood up to pray for him, but it made the Emperor suspect that the Bui family had an affair with Tinh Vuong Palace, almost implicating the entire Bui family. Later, in the old records of Dong Cung, I once saw a secret report. So-called evidence of collusion with the enemy, loopholes pile up. But at that time, Tieu Thua Canh had ascended the throne, the Queen's factions were intertwined everywhere, and I was so seriously ill that there was no cure and there was nothing I could do anymore. I used to think that Ta Lam Xuyen and I had only met a few times. Until after his death, his father found a military book in the old house of Tinh Vuong Palace. Between the layers of paper, there was hidden a wooden tag with a faded apricot flower drawing. That was the handwriting I conveniently wrote at the banquet in the palace when I was fourteen years old. "May the mountains and rivers be safe and unharmed, and our ancestors will always be at peace." He kept it for so many years. I folded the piece of paper. Ha Suong asked softly: "Miss, have you heard back?" I looked at the black carriage parked far away at the corner of the street. The car curtains were not raised, only a hand with clear joints was placed loosely next to the window. I put the piece of paper in my sleeve. "Go back to the palace." Pausing for a moment, I said again: "Tell father, tonight invite people from Tinh Vuong Palace to Bui's house." 6 Tinh Vuong Palace arrived faster than I thought. After dark, father personally opened the side door. Ta Lam Xuyen was not wearing the Royal Family's plain clothes, only wearing a narrow black long-sleeved robe and a black mink coat over it, looking like he had just returned from the military camp outside the city. When he entered the door, the wind and snow also rushed into the main hall. I stood behind the screen, listening to him bow to his father. "General Bui, late at night to disturb." Father's voice was low. "His Royal Highness Tinh Vuong dares to shoot an arrow in front of the car."
This young lady's horse is not small." Ta Lam Xuyen smiled softly. "If I hadn't shot that arrow, Miss Bui might not have agreed to meet me." I stepped out of the screen. He raised his eyes to look over. In that moment, my chest suddenly felt like something was lightly touching me. In my previous life, the last time I heard Ta Lam Xuyen's name was on the day he was escorted to the execution ground. Wind and rain arose throughout the capital, everyone was talking. Tinh Vuong colluded with the enemy, saying he sold out the defense arrangement of the three citadels on the northern border, saying that he had a heartless heart, it would not be a pity to die. At that time, I was so sick that I could not get out of bed, but still sent someone to inquire about the news outside the execution site. Before being executed, Tinh Vuong did not complain, only looking at the East Palace once. At that time, I did not understand what he was looking at. His appearance was cold, with the coldness of frost and the aura of iron armor on his body, but in his eyes there was no longer the same calmness as when he stood on the execution ground in his previous life. "Miss Bui." He nodded slightly at me. I responded. "Your Highness once said, you can lend me a corner of the chessboard." "That's right." He didn't beat around the bush. "Your Highness wants the Bui family to escape the Eastern Palace, and the Bui family also wants to avoid suspicion from Your Majesty. Just relying on an annulment of marriage is not enough. You need a place to go, a place that makes Your Majesty feel that the Bui family is still in the royal family's chess game." Father slightly squinted his eyes. "Is Tinh Vuong Palace that place?" Ta Lam Xuyen's expression remained calm.
