Chapter 7 — From Kissing Before the Big Wedding

So it turns out he's investigating the same thing. At least temporarily. We are not enemies. I let go of the silver needle. "Where to?" "Just one trip." He replied, "You can leave at any time." I thought for a few moments. Finally said: "Okay." "I'll go." Tieu Da Han just nodded slightly, as if he had predicted. A moment later. I was sitting in his carriage.04The carriage rolled on the green stone road, leaving the Prime Minister's palace. The car compartment was quiet, only the sound of rolling wheels and the very soft breathing of the two people. I sat opposite Tieu Da Han, my eyes stopped on the Black Dragon jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant under the light in the car emitted a cold light. The dragon's eyes are encrusted with red rubies like blood, making people feel like they are being stared at by it. I broke the silence: "This jade pendant... Where did the prince get it from?" I broke the silence. Tieu Da Han pushed the jade pendant towards me: "Three years ago, on the Northern battlefield. A dying enemy general put it in my hand, saying 'hand it over to the person who needs it'." He paused for a moment, his eyes under the mask were as deep as cold phlegm: "Before he died, he said four words - Princess Vinh Ninh." My heart suddenly pounded. "So three years ago, the Royal Family began investigating my mother?" "It's not an investigation, it's a verification." Tieu Da Han's fingers gently stroked the armrest of the wheelchair. "Because my mother... was also hit by the same poison." "That Nhat Doan Truong Tan." I blurted out. Tieu Da Han's eyes immediately became sharp: "Do you know this type of poison well?" "There is a record in the Hundred Herbs Secret Records." "A person who is poisoned by the poison will die within seven days, and his intestines will be severed and die. Moreover, the symptoms are extremely similar to a common acute illness. If you are not proficient in toxicology, it is very difficult to detect." I stared at him. "The smell of Ghost Grass on the King's body is one of the main medicinal herbs used to treat it. prepare an antidote for this poison.” The air in the car seemed to freeze. After a long while, Tieu Da Han smiled softly, with a kind of sadness in his laughter that was hard to put into words: "Miss Su is really like a rumor, hidden deep and not revealed." "This person, that person." I didn't avoid it. "The 'disability' of the Royal Family... I'm afraid it's also a fake?" I just noticed that although Tieu Da Han was sitting in a wheelchair, his back was straight and his leg muscles were balanced, completely unlike someone who had been paralyzed for three years. Furthermore, the location of the calluses on his knuckles is also very special - they are marks that can only be left when holding a sword all year round. Tieu Da Han did not deny: "There are some plays... that cannot be performed." The carriage suddenly jolted violently. My body tilted slightly, instinctively placing my hand on the side of the car. The tip of his finger brushed the back of Tieu Da Han's hand, and in that moment, a strange electric feeling ran through their skin. They both froze at the same time. Tieu Da Han immediately withdrew his hand, and I quickly sat up straight. But the feeling just now...o't-ca'y So familiar. It was like we had touched countless times like that. "We..." I frowned slightly. “Have we met somewhere before?” This question was originally supposed to be asked by Tieu Da Han, but instead it was said by me. His eyes looked at me with a bit of complexity. After a while, he slowly said: "Maybe so." He did not say more, but switched to the main topic: "The Crown Prince has been doing a lot lately." "The fact that he lost the Nine Dragon jade pendant is true, but using that as an excuse to search your room is a fake. The real purpose is to find something else." "What?" "Jade sister from the previous dynasty." Tieu Da Han lowered his voice. "It's rumored that when Princess Vinh Ninh left the palace, she brought her hereditary royal sister jade with her." "Over the past years, there have been many forces in the dark looking for her. The Crown Prince believes that her jade sister is in her mother's relics."

you." In my heart, I laughed coldly. Sister Ngoc is indeed at my place - in the deepest part of the Kinh Hong treasury. But I won't tell anyone. "Your Majesty told me these things, what do you want in exchange?" "Cooperation." Tieu Da Han looked straight into my eyes. "You help me find out the truth about the Northern Battle three years ago, and the cause of the death of my mother - Duc Phi." "I help you maintain your identity as the Prime Minister's wife, and at the same time assist you in investigating the case of Princess Vinh Ninh." "Why did you choose me?" "Because you are the only one... capable of knowing these two clues at the same time." Tieu Da Han's finger gently tapped the Black Dragon Jade. "This jade pendant is your mother's relics. But in the battle of the North that seriously injured me that year, the enemy general before he died... called your mother's name."
