Chapter 6 — General Triumph Blocks My Prayer, My Palace Has No Free Time
My soul seemed to fly out of my body, taking the child with one hand. The baby's lips have begun to turn purple.
"Your Majesty's Doctor! Quickly tell Your Majesty's Doctor!"
I hugged the child, my voice was hoarse and I shouted loudly. Concubine Thuc was also scared to death.
"Why is that so? Wasn't it still very good just now?"
The entire Canh Duong Palace instantly became a chaotic group. Very quickly, the doctor ran over. After an emergency rescue, the Second Prince's face gradually calmed down. The royal physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and knelt down to report.
"Returning to the Noble Concubine, the Second Prince... The Second Prince was poisoned!"
I feel like I've been struck by lightning.
"Poisoned? What kind of poison?"
“It… is a rare type of poison found in the Western Regions, called ‘Toa Hau’.”
“This type of poison is colorless and odorless, and is often mixed into flavorings or foods.”
"A person who is poisoned will have no reaction at first, but once he smells the scent of almonds, he will immediately have an attack, causing his throat to swell, suffocate and die!"
The doctor's words caused the entire main hall to fall into silence. Aromatherapy. Everyone's eyes simultaneously fell on Concubine Thuc. In the hall, sedative incense is burning. On the table were brownies. It's all too much of a coincidence! Concubine Thuc's face instantly turned pale. She pointed at me, her lips trembling.
“You… it's you!”
“You were the one who framed me!”
I hugged the child, slowly stood up, step by step walking towards her. My eyes are cold as ice.
“This play is really good.”
"It's just a pity, you miscalculated one step."
“Today, this palace did not bring Hang Nhi here at all.”
The "Second Prince" in my heart suddenly grinned at Concubine Thuc.
That face is not the face of the Second Prince at all! It's a child of a palace maid, somewhat similar to the Second Prince! Thuc Phi's eyes suddenly opened wide, eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
“You… you…”
I laughed coldly.
"I knew long ago that a poisonous snake like you wouldn't be able to bear it and crawl out."
“So I have prepared bait for you.”
“Now, you have taken the bait.”
Outside the palace, the sound of neat footsteps echoed. The emperor led a large group of soldiers to appear at the door. His face was covered with a layer of cold frost. Concubine Chu Thuc was completely stunned. She looked at the fake "prince" in my arms, then looked at the emperor standing at the palace gate, his face as dark as water. She felt like the blood in her body was drained in an instant.
“It's not…”
“Your Majesty, listen to my explanation!”
She rushed to the emperor's feet and tightly grabbed the dragon robe.
"It's her! It's Duong Nguyet who framed me!"
“It was she who poisoned her own child, then brought disaster on me!”
The Emperor lowered his head to look at her face, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
“Hurt you?”
"So tell me, where did you get this 'Toa Hau' poison?"
"That poisoned incense, who burned it?"
“Who brought that plate of brownies as poison bait?”
Every time the Emperor asked a question, Concubine Chu Thuc's face became a little whiter.
“I… I don't know…”
“My concubine doesn't know anything!”
The emperor impatiently kicked her away.
“At this point, you still want to deny it?”
The person looked towards the trembling palace maid next to him.
"Say! It's the end of the story." What!"
That palace maid was Concubine Chu Thuc's confidant. At this moment, she was scared to death, knelt on the ground, like spilling beans from a bamboo tube, and revealed the entire incident. Since Concubine Thuc was jealous of Duong Nguyet, she secretly contacted her brother, the eldest son of the Chu family, who had been demoted. As for her plotting the "suppression" case, harming the Queen and separating the Emperor's concubine. Then today, taking advantage of my weakness of loving my child like my life, I devised a plan to poison the prince. Everything is explained clearly and clearly. It turns out that Luu Ngoan Nhi is just a chess piece in her hands. She took advantage of Luu Ngoan Nhi's hatred towards me, along with her feelings for Tieu Quyet, step by step luring her into joining. The so-called "evidence of the crime" letter was actually forged by her imitating Tieu Quyet's handwriting. She calculated that Luu Ngoan Nhi, in order to preserve the Prime Minister's palace, would definitely "destroy herself with great justice". It is also estimated that after that, Luu Ngoan Nhi will definitely choose to commit suicide in order to keep it a secret. What a move that kills three birds with one stone, using a knife to kill someone! Everyone heard their hearts pounding and their legs trembling. No one expected that Concubine Thuc, who usually looked gentle and gentle, neither fighting nor taking, would have such a strong heart. The emperor's face was extremely unsightly. The person looked at Chu Thuc Phi lying on the ground, with undisguised murderous intent in her eyes.
“I have treated you well, yet you dare to plot against the royal family and cause chaos in the harem!”
“Are you worthy of me?!”
Concubine Chu Thuc looked at the cold eyes of the emperor and knew she was completely done. She suddenly laughed loudly like crazy.
“Treating me well?”
“Ha ha ha ha! Trieu Diep, have you ever had any sincere feelings for me?"
"In your heart, from beginning to end, there is only Duong Nguyet alone!"
“What about me? What about the eldest prince?"
“We are nothing more than decorations under your affection, tools for you to balance the previous dynasties!”
She pointed at me, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
“Based on what!”
