Chapter 4 — From Kissing Before the Big Wedding

It took me a whole hour to finish reading it. When I finished reading, I leaned my hand on the edge of the table, my fingertips turning slightly white. It turns out that Lam Uyen is actually Princess Vinh Ninh - Tieu Kinh Hong of the previous dynasty. Twenty years ago, during the palace incident that year, the person who led the last group of loyal guards of the previous dynasty escaped the palace, changed his name, and married To Van Uyen, who was still just a minor official. People thought they could live their lives in peace. Unexpectedly, her identity was still discovered by Vuong Thi's father - at that time the Military Department's Thi Lang Vuong Sung -. Vuong Sung used this to threaten and force people to hand over the treasure map of the previous dynasty. The person refused. Only at chili noodle cake. After that... there were many years of chronic poisoning. "Before my mother died, the only thing she felt lucky about was disguising the birthmark on my face as a poisonous one." At the end of the letter, she wrote: "That birthmark has a special shape, very similar to the 'Phoenix pregnancy mark' of the royal family of the previous dynasty. Once discovered, it will definitely bring disaster and murder." Successfully poisoned..." "Everything in this secret room is left to you. Behind the seventh book from the right in the third row of the bookshelf, there is a secret compartment, inside is the last force of the previous dynasty - the communication method of the twelve Kinh Hong Guards." "They have been anonymous for twenty years, just waiting for the young master to summon." "Inside the ebony chest is the mother's dowry, along with... the golden exemption card given to Princess Vinh by Emperor Tai To." Ninh." "Ly Nhi, mother does not ask for revenge, I just want you to be safe. But if someone wants to harm you, there is no need to be soft-hearted." "Remember, you are Tieu Kinh Hong's daughter, in your veins flows the blood of royal pride." The letter fell from my hand. I closed my eyes for a moment. When I opened my eyes again, the last ray of confusion in my eyes had completely disappeared. I walked to the bookshelf and according to what the letter said I found the secret compartment. Inside are twelve small jade tablets, each engraved with a word: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Cat... "Plate 13 is obviously not created by the author." I held the tablet engraved with the word "Ty", with a warm feeling. The back is engraved with an address: Thanh Tay, Vinh Ninh alley, Tam Hoe Duong pharmacy. Then, I opened the ebony chest. The golden light was almost blinding. The chest is divided into three floors. The upper floor is full of gold bars. The middle floor is filled with all kinds of jade and jade treasures. The lower floor neatly placed land deed and house deed, along with - c'ay,o't A metal card as large as a hand. The golden token is made from pure gold, the front is embossed with a five-clawed golden dragon, the back is engraved with eight large words: "The Thai To is bestowed, as I am." Below there is also a line of small words: "Best to Princess Vinh Ninh - Tieu Kinh Hong, exempt from death three times, posterity can also use it." "o-t/ca/y please rate the set so well" I picked up the gold card, feeling a heavy weight in my palm. At this moment, the sound of extremely light footsteps was heard from the entrance of the secret room. Not just one person. My eyes immediately turned cold, I instantly blew out the oil lamp, and ducked behind the weapon rack. My fingers touched my side - where I had hidden a few homemade silver needles for the past three days, soaked in the anesthetic o't-ca'y. "Little master?" An old but respectful voice rang out. "Jing Hongwei chi Ty, serving the order of guarding the secret room for twenty years, today I sensed the jade pendant being opened, specially came to pay my respects." I did not immediately show my face. I held my breath, borrowed the weak light of the jade pendant, and clearly counted the number of people coming. Twelve people. Just fits the twelve jade cards. “Young master, there is no need to be on guard.” That voice rang out again. “This old slave can prove his identity.” Finished speaking, twelve

Everyone in unison read in a low voice: "Kinh Hong makes the world cold, Vinh Ninh Truong Da treats Moon Minh." This is the signal that mother wrote in the letter. At this point we slowly step out of the darkness. Twelve people in black simultaneously knelt down on one knee. At the head was an old man with white hair, a thin appearance, and clear eyes. "Captain Kinh Hong Ve, Ty Da, pay your respects to the young master." The old man raised his head, when he saw my appearance, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. "Like... too much like your Highness the Princess..." "O.t/c.ay" "Stand up." I said calmly. "Mother mentioned you in the letter." Ty Da stood up, eleven The other person also stood up accordingly. I realized that, although the ages of the twelve people were different, everyone had a calm aura and were obviously experts. "Little master, before his death, His Highness the Princess once told him that if you take the initiative to open the secret room, it means you are prepared to face everything." Ty Da said sternly: "The Kinh Hong Ve has been hiding among the people for the past twenty years. Chi Ty is in the pharmacy, Suu is in the headquarters, Dan is in the winery... all professions are the same. There's someone infiltrating. As long as the young master gives the order, we can gather at any time." I pondered for a moment. "I need time to understand the situation. Besides, can you see the disguise on my face?" Ty Da smiled slightly: "That year, the princess's magic was the only one in the world. The young master's face was covered in medicine, and the old slave recognized it as 'Chu Nhan Cai'." "But young master, don't worry Guard, the leader of the Ox branch is skilled in this technique, he can prepare a better camouflage medicine for people, not only difficult to see through, but also does not harm the skin." "Okay." I nodded. "First, do two things." "First, clearly investigate the entire process of my mother being poisoned in the past, all related witnesses and evidence."
