Chapter 8 — From Kissing Before the Big Wedding

I was silent for a moment: "I need to think." "Three days." Tieu Da Han did not force him. "Three days later is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. The Crown Prince and your good sister... will definitely take action again. At that time, you will need an ally." The carriage slowly stopped. "Here." Tieu Da Han lifted the car curtain. "This is my private house, no one knows. Miss To can temporarily avoid the storm here, towards the Prime Minister's residence, I have made good arrangements." I got out of the car, in front of me was an elegant mansion, on the sign hung the three words Thinh Tuyet Hien. I turned my head to look at Tieu Da Han in the car: "Your Majesty, won't you come in?" "I still have something to do." He stopped for a moment. "Remember, three days. Three days later, if you agree to cooperate, at the Queen Mother's banquet, I will give you a great gift." The carriage slowly left. I stood in front of the door, watching the black carriage disappear around the corner. Her fingertips still retained the strange feeling of touching him earlier. I suddenly remembered a sentence in my mother's letter: "If you meet someone with the scent of Ghost Soul Grass, you can entrust half of your trust - that is the only clue your father left when looking for medicine for me that year." Father? To Van Uyen? Incorrect. The mother said "your father", but her tone... didn't sound like she was talking about To Van Uyen. I suppressed the doubts in my heart, turned and walked into the courtyard. There were people waiting in the hospital. She was a woman about forty years old, dressed simply, with respectful gestures: "Slave Thanh Truc, serve your orders." "The room has prepared hot water and clean clothes. Please bring your servants along." This villa is not large, but every part is exquisite. Rockery, water flow, green bamboo shading, obviously the owner has extraordinary taste. After showering and changing clothes, I sat in front of the window in contemplation. Tieu Da Han's appearance disturbed my plans, but at the same time brought new clues. If what he said is true, then my mother's death, Duc Phi's death, and the Northern Battle... these three things are definitely related. And what holds it all together is most likely the black dragon jade pendant. I took out the jade block my mother left behind from my chest and placed it next to the black dragon jade pendant. Two pieces of jade under the moonlight reflect two different types of light. One block is warm blue, the other is dark and cold. But looking closely, the sculpting technique was exactly the same, the patterns on the edges could even fit perfectly - I suddenly sat up straight. I carefully put the two pieces of jade together. There was a very soft "click". The two pieces of jade actually merged into one, turning into a complete round jade pendant! The front is jade engraved with a phoenix, the back is jade engraved with a dragon, the dragon and phoenix head and tail are connected, as if they were born as one. In the center of the jade pendant, a row of extremely small seals gradually appeared: "Dragon and phoenix combine, the treasure gate opens. The bloodline of the Tieu family, the true inheritance." So that's it. The black dragon jade pendant is the other half of the key. Only when there are two jade pendants belonging to the Tieu family's bloodline at the same time can the true Kinh Hong museum be opened. And Tieu Da Han has a black dragon pendant, which proves that he also has the Tieu family bloodline? The royal family of the previous dynasty was surnamed Tieu, and the royal family of this dynasty is also surnamed Tieu, this is not strange. But Concubine Duc is the concubine of the current emperor. If Tieu Da Han is a prince, why does he have a token from the previous Crown Prince? Unless... I don't dare think about it anymore. I carefully put the jade pendant together and decided to give Tieu Da Han an answer three days later. But before that, I need to verify a few things. "Thanh Truc." I called out. “This is my servant.” “Prepare some medicinal herbs for me.” We write down a list. “Yes.” Bar

Truc left. I fell into contemplation, my index finger unconsciously tapping...c'ay/o't on the table. We need to investigate the Chien Vuong Palace as thoroughly as possible. Late at night, it was quiet, I changed into night clothes and quietly left the courtyard. I want to go to a place — Chien Vuong Palace. There are a few things that must be confirmed with your own eyes. Chien Vuong Palace is located in the east of the city, the area is extremely large, but the level of strict security is far beyond my expectations. Bright and dark clouds intertwine, the patrol passes every moment. What's more troublesome is that the government has many agencies located everywhere. If I hadn't undergone professional training in my previous life, I'm afraid I would have encountered warnings long ago. After avoiding the third patrol, I sneaked into the main courtyard. Tieu Da Han's study room is still lit. I waited on the roof and gently lifted a tile. In the study room, Tieu Da Han was indeed not in a wheelchair. He stood by the window, holding a yellowed envelope in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed.
