Chapter 7 — General Triumph Blocks My Prayer, My Palace Has No Free Time

"On what basis can Duong Nguyet receive all your favor as soon as she enters the palace?"

“She is just something that Tieu Quyet no longer needs!”

"What about me? I've been by your side for so many years, giving birth to your children, but I can only watch as you give all the good things to her!"

“I'm not convinced!”

“Even if I die, I must bury her son with me!”

Her crazy, ghost-like appearance made everyone feel cold. I looked at her coldly.

“You are wrong.”

"Your Majesty favors me not because my name is Tang, nor because I am beautiful."

“It's because I never thought of receiving anything other than my true heart from you.”

"And you, from the beginning, calculated your family background, calculated your benefits, and calculated your position as the eldest son."

“Your love, so dirty.”

“So, you are not worthy.”

“You are not worthy!”

The last three words were like three sharp blades, fiercely piercing Chu Thuc Phi's heart. All her disguises and madness collapsed in an instant. She lay on the ground, crying bitterly. The Emperor looked at her, the last trace of emotion in his eyes completely disappeared.

“Where are you?”

"Concubine Chu's heart is cruel, plotting to harm the royal family, an unforgivable crime."

"Abolish the position, banish him to the cold palace, and give him a white mausoleum."

"Her senior brother is Chu The Kiet, as a grandmother, involved in the harem, guilty of the crime, be executed immediately."

"People in Canh Duong palace, whoever knows about this and doesn't report it, all the men!"

“Great Prince Trieu Khai…”

The emperor paused for a moment, a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

“…give it to the Queen and teach her carefully, from now on you will never see Chu again.”

Cold instructions were given one by one. A concubine who was once considered to be quite favored, just went to destruction. The dust settled. I truly hugged the Second Prince, sitting in the warm interior of Thua An Palace. Hang Nhi slept very soundly, with a peaceful smile on her little face. I gently kiss your forehead.

“Baby, don't be afraid, mother will always protect you.”

The Emperor from behind gently hugged me.

“It's all over.”

I leaned into his arms and nodded.

“Your Majesty, I have something I don't understand.”

“You… when did you start to doubt Concubine Thuc?”

The Emperor smiled.

“Since Luu Ngoan Nhi died, I have begun to have doubts.”

“Even if Tieu Quyet is stupid, he will not use such clumsy tricks.”

"And Luu Ngoan Nhi is just a woman living in a secret house, and it's impossible for the palace to set up such a big trap."

“There must be someone behind her who is smarter than her and understands the harem better than her.”

“I have sent someone to investigate all the records before and after she entered the palace.”

"Found out that she and Thi Chu had an affair when they were still in the house."

“Furthermore, Senior Brother Chu has recently been very close to the Prime Minister in court.”

“When a few clues are compared together, the answer immediately appears.”

I suddenly understood. Turns out people already knew. People are always waiting. Waiting for Concubine Chu Thuc to reveal her flaws herself. As for me, I'm just coordinating people to perform a play. We can't say clearly what we feel in our hearts. Just have peace of mind at all times Things have calmed down, but I'm still a little scared because I'm hidden behind a curtain. The king's heart is unfathomable. The Emperor seemed to realize my mood and hugged me a little tighter.

“Nguyet Nhi, I know what you are thinking.”

“It's not that I don't believe you.”

“It's just that the poisonous snake is hidden too deep.”

“I don't want you to risk your life.”

"That's why I used this method to lead the snake out of the cave."

“It is wrong of me to let her be the bait.”

“I'm sorry.”

A supreme being, yet he said the word "sorry" to me. The little knots in my heart instantly disappeared into thin air. I turned around, raised his face, and spoke seriously.

“Your Majesty, I am not afraid of being bait.”

“I'm just afraid, one day, you will become my hunter.”

The Emperor looked at my clear eyes, his heart moved. He solemnly promised.

“Never will.”

“I am your shield, your sword, the strongest support for you and Hang Nhi.”

“It will always be like that.”

The strip of white mausoleum in the cold palace ended the unwilling life of Concubine Chu Thuc. The sword on the execution ground also caused Chu The Kiet's head to roll to the ground. The Chu family used to have limitless radiance, and in just one night, the tree fell and melted away. The Prime Minister's Palace single-handedly brought up the case of "covering the town", also because he did not raise his children strictly, the emperor found an excuse, dismissed Prime Minister Liu from his position, and ordered the old man to return home. This great drama in the capital has finally ended. Some people are happy, some people are sad. The happiest person is none other than the Queen. Not only did she clear up the injustice, she also had a Great Prince for no reason. Although the Great Prince was basically unlucky in his position as a military reserve, after all, he was a prince, raised by his side, and ultimately still a supporter. The saddest person is naturally Tieu Quyet in the heavenly prison.
