Chapter 7 — From Crown Princess to Tan Vuong Phi

Tham Minh Ngoc stood next to him and smiled and said: "Sister, before I told you to marry into the Eastern Palace as a concubine, but you refused to listen. Now you marry the King of Tan, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes. If something unfortunate happens, you will have to become a widow." "Bop!" I slapped her face: "The Crown Princess must be careful with her words. Tens of thousands of generals, despite the risk of their lives, go out to protect the people in the city. How dare you curse them?" "Do you know that behind their backs there are countless wives, children and elderly mothers who are waiting for them to return safely? You, the Crown Princess, can say such things?" "Do you think you are only cursing the King of Tan? You are cursing tens of thousands of generals, how bold!" Tham Minh Ngoc covered his face and shouted: "I am the Crown Princess, you dare to attack me! me!" I took a step forward: "Let me see who dares to touch me! Since you know that you are the Crown Princess, you must do what the Crown Princess should do, not say such words that make the generals feel cold." "If people in the world know, aren't you afraid that they will harass the Crown Prince and damage his reputation?" If any of the other generals hear it, they can beat you." The Crown Prince stepped forward and shouted at Tham Minh Ngoc in a low voice: "Shut up! Today is the day the generals go to war, how can you talk nonsense?" "Where are you? Today, the Crown Prince is not feeling well, she has a fever. Let's take her back to rest." Even though the Crown Prince appeared to make peace, the Crown Princess' words still spread out. The next day, the medals of officials and martial artists, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were filled with the Emperor's court. They treated the Crown Prince's concubine as a royal concubine, but they had no compassion and acted unvirtuously. Right at the moment when the army was about to go on an expedition, he said words that hurt the people and made the soldiers' relatives feel cold. If this continues, who is willing to sell their life to the Emperor? They still have a prince who can't cultivate himself and the family, and can't even manage the internal affairs, let alone rule the country and bring peace to the world. The Queen issued a decree, ordering the Crown Princess to stay in the Eastern Palace, every day to go to the Buddha Palace to copy sutras, and chant sutras to pray for blessings for the generals and soldiers going to war, until the war ended. Not long after, the news came from the front lines that King Tan had been defeated and was still missing on the battlefield. When the news came back, I was in the Queen's palace, Tham Minh Ngoc was also asking for peace. Hearing the news, her eyes were filled with joy: "Prince Tan, please hold back your sadness." The Crown Prince also looked sad: "Prince Tan's death in battle is the pain of the nation. I will definitely arrange for King Tan's burial, please rest assured." My eyes darkened and I immediately fainted. When she woke up, the Queen's eyes were red and she grabbed my hand: "Minh Chau, nothing can happen to you. Now that you have Canh Nhi's flesh and blood, you must give birth safely to the baby." I was stunned and put my hand on my stomach. Unexpectedly, I already have my husband's child. I remember the words Nguyen Canh said before going to war. I believe he will definitely come back alive. I tried to revive my spirit: "Mother, please rest assured. I believe that nothing will happen to His Highness King Tan. Right now, I just haven't found your whereabouts. I believe that you will return safely." The Crown Prince presented to the court, asking to take over the 100,000 Ho Anh army of King Tan. He announced that he would personally lead the army to fight again and avenge King Jin. The military generals in the court argued endlessly, but the Crown Prince stopped me in the palace. "Minh Chau, I

already said. Even if you marry Nguyen Canh, you can still only be mine.” “Nguyen Canh is dead. You just need to obediently take the abortion pill, wait for me to return from the army, and I will take you to the Eastern Palace as my concubine." I looked at him: "Nonsense! I believe Nguyen Canh has not died. He promised that he would definitely return." The Crown Prince smiled triumphantly: "He can't come back anymore. He was ambushed by enemy generals in the mountains, where there were absolutely no survivors." I stared at him: "Why do you know so well? Could it be that you gave the defense map to the enemy? You want to harm King Tan?" "In order to compete for the throne, you treat the lives of many innocent generals like trash, just for your own personal gain?" The Crown Prince took a step forward, forcing me into the corner: "So what? He relied on his status as the Queen's son and his glorious military achievements to oppress me, wanting to usurp my position as Crown Prince. He has only one way to die." "You just need to listen and be my concubine. In the future, I will treat you well and let you have another child." "When I become Emperor, you will be my noble concubine. Minh Chau, obediently listen." A long sword was suddenly placed on his neck: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the border has won, are you very disappointed?" A familiar voice rang in his ear. The Crown Prince turned his head in horror.
