Chapter 16 — He Forced Me To Adopt My Child, I Immediately Invited The Whole Capital To Witness
"Deposed Crown Prince Tieu Thua Duc, colluded with the enemy country, forged a decree, poisoned his father-in-law, led soldiers to force a confession." "Three days later, beheaded the public at Ngo Mon Gate." "Liu Thanh Uyen colluded with the enemy to betray the country, mixed up the royal family's bloodline, sentenced to extreme punishment." "Hac Lien Soc escorted to Bac Canh, beheaded before the heroic spirits of three thousand generals." "Wei Thua An and all those who participated in the treason were severely punished." According to the law, the entire estate was used as pension money for the families of the generals who died in battle." When Tieu Thua Duc was dragged away, he no longer had the strength to scream. Lieu Thanh Uyen's hair was hanging down, desperately struggling on the ground. "Tham Chieu Hoa, where is my son?" "Hanh Nhi is innocent, you cannot kill him!" "Don't worry." I stopped walking. "The child will not have to bear the blame for the parents' mistakes." "The name Tieu has been removed from his family name, and was taken to a farm outside the city, with someone dedicated to raising him." Lieu Thanh Uyen looked bewildered. ta. No longer the title of the eldest prince, no longer the favor of Prince Bac Nhung, and even more no longer the glory and wealth. She calculated everything, but in the end she left nothing for her son. Three days later, Tieu Thua Duc was beheaded at Ngo Mon. On the day of the execution, thousands of people poured into the streets of the entire capital. The papers filled with dates that used to be plastered all over the streets have not been torn up yet. Hundreds of people stood under the signs, watching the once unmatched Crown Prince walk by wearing chains and shackles. He once adopted a child that was not his to save face. In the end, in order to regain the emperor's throne, he put himself on the scaffold. Lieu Thanh Uyen and Hac Lien Soc could not wait for the other to come to their rescue. One person died in the capital, the other was escorted to Bac Canh. Before they died, they still blamed each other, saying it was the other person who destroyed them. Only the families of the three thousand soldiers who died in battle finally waited for justice to arrive late. After everything was over, the Emperor asked me what I wanted as a reward. I do not ask for gold or silver, nor do I ask for a higher position. "The goddess only asks for three things." "First, restore the honor of the generals who lost their lives in the canyon battle, and treat their families well." "Second, return military power to the Tham family, do not continue to prosecute innocent people implicated by the Crown Prince." "Third, allow the goddess to restore the Tham family name, the marriage price for this lifetime will be decided by the goddess herself." The emperor was very silent. long time, finally accepted all three. The day I left the Eastern Palace, I did not bring anything that belonged to the Crown Princess. I only brought with me the old sword my mother left behind and the allowance list of three thousand generals. Outside the palace gate, Thanh Dai opened the car curtain for me. In the distance, the sunrise is gradually rising, illuminating the whole long street. I turned my head to look at the palace wall behind me one last time. In my previous life, I died in this place. In this life, I will send all those who have harmed me to hell with my own hands. As for the papers with sealed dates that were once posted all over the capital, no one later completely tore them up. Many years later, there are still people who point to faded notices to teach their children and grandchildren: There are debts, you can change the verdict, you can kill witnesses. But time cannot be deceived forever. (END OF FULL TEXT)
