Chapter 5 — Four Generations of Crown Princes Concubine Died, I Replaced with Marrying the World of Great Sacrifice

His voice trembled with disbelief.

“She even gave some rewards to the Eastern Palace.”

I nodded: "I know, Mother Que just brought it here this afternoon." We looked at each other, both seeing the coldness in the other's eyes. It turns out that invisible hand is so close to us. So close, lying right next to our pillow.

“Why did she have to do that?” Tieu Giac closed his eyes in pain, "I am her biological son!"

“Perhaps, it is because you are her son.”

I calmly analyze.

"Your Highness's body is weak and he needs to take medicine all year round. If the Crown Princess dies unexpectedly again, the royal court will talk endlessly, and the spear will be pointed at you again."

"But what if the Crown Princess dies 'naturally'?"

"For example, like me, I had a poor life, poor fortune, and a thin destiny. I couldn't stand the blessings of the Eastern Palace. I fell ill and couldn't get up. I gradually weakened and died."

“Isn't this ending more perfect?”

“Just getting rid of me, without causing you any suspicion.”

Tieu Giac heard what I said, his face became whiter and whiter. He understands. This was an assassination that had been arranged a long time ago. Warm water to boil frogs...just missing.

“So what do we do now?” He looked at me, his eyes filled with reliance.

“Next plan, next plan.”

I say four words. The next day. I ordered someone to burn the An Than incense that the Queen gave as a reward. The entire temple was filled with a sweet scent. Very easy to smell, also very deadly. Of course I didn't really go smell it. At the cemetery, the poisonous things we have seen are more than the amount of jewelry that the ladies in the palace have ever seen. When you use incense to kill people like this, at three years old I already know how to tell the difference. We use a wet towel to cover our nose and mouth, and in the moment the incense is burned, we use internal force to block the energy. After that, we change the spices in the incense burner. Change to the most normal sandalwood. Having finished everything, we lie back on the bed and start "acting". Tieu Giac always looks worried and comes to my room every day, standing quietly next to the bed as if afraid that I will disappear in the blink of an eye. Occasionally he would personally serve tea and help me drink sips of water. Every gesture was so careful that it didn't look like an act, but like a husband who was truly afraid of losing his wife. Three days in a row. Every day we "burn" An Than incense.

My "illness" is also getting worse.

From the beginning it was just dizziness and helplessness, to then a constant cough, then to the point of being bedridden. The entire Eastern Palace was covered in a gloomy atmosphere. The royal physician came one after another, but everyone was helpless. Just say my body is too weak, I have committed murderous aura, I'm afraid... time is running out. The news quickly spread throughout the palace. Some people regret, some people rejoice in the pain of others. More are waiting to see how long this fifth generation Crown Princess can last. That afternoon, I was weak and "comatose". A person who was expected to come has finally arrived. Is the Queen. She was surrounded by a group of palace servants, her face full of sadness as she entered.

“How is Chieu Nhi?”

Her voice was filled with concern. Mother Que immediately stepped forward with a sad expression and replied.

"Back when you were a princess, the Crown Princess... I'm afraid she won't survive. She vomited as soon as she took the medicine."

The Queen sighed and walked over to my bed. She Sit down, put your hand on my forehead. Her hands were very well cared for, but they carried a cold and gloomy feeling.

“Poor child.”

She looked at me with pity.

"This palace still thought that your destiny was so strong that you could endure it a little longer."

"Unexpectedly, we still cannot escape the fate of the Eastern Palace."

I closed my eyes and could feel her eyes like a poisonous snake, circling around my face. She is confirming. Confirm whether I am really about to die or not. We cooperated and let out a few weak coughs. Tieu Giac immediately grabbed my hand and painfully called my name.

"Mother, please save her! You must have a way!"

He knelt before the Queen and begged miserably. The queen helped him up and shook her head.

“Stupid child, this is fate, not something human strength can change.”

She looked at the incense burner on the table, her eyes flashing with satisfaction.

"This comforting incense, continue to burn for her."

“Maybe we can make her leave… a little more peacefully.”

After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave. In that instant she turned around. I suddenly opened my eyes.

“Your Highness the Queen.”

My voice is not loud, but it clearly resonates in everyone's ears. The whole room immediately became quiet. The Queen stiffly turned around and looked at me in disbelief. I slowly sat up from the bed, leaning against the headboard. Smiling at her with a pale smile, but extremely brilliant.

“My concubine's destiny is very strong.”

“If you want this concubine to die, just relying on this little scent is not enough.”

The air seemed frozen. Everyone looked at me in horror, as if they had encountered a ghost during the day. On the Queen's face, cracks appeared for the first time. That mask of dignity and wealth can no longer be maintained. Surprise, indignation, and panic at being exposed were mixed in her eyes.

“What…what nonsense are you talking about?”

Her voice was a bit high-pitched.

“What are you talking about, Your Highness knows best in your heart.”

I lifted the blanket and stepped out of bed barefoot. Step by step, walk in front of her. Tieu Giac stood quietly behind me, using his actions to show his stance.

“This calming scent, it really smells good.”

I went to the incense burner, picked up the lid, and gently fanned the fan:

“It's just a pity that inside there is one more 'Nhuang tien tan' and another 'Danh long grass'."

"They are all colorless and odorless poisonous substances. They need to be mixed with other scents and slowly inhaled for them to be effective."

"People poisoned in the early stages only feel powerless and sleepy, no different from a cold."
