Chapter 3 — He Forced Me To Adopt My Child, I Immediately Invited The Whole Capital To Witness

"Miss Lieu gave birth to your Highness's eldest son. She is a servant of the Eastern Palace. Of course I will take good care of her." She looked at me, her eyes were not half happy, on the contrary, she was vaguely uneasy. Unfortunately, it's too late. The child adoption document has been sealed. The date of birth will also be brought to Tong Chinh Tu. It was they who put the rope around their necks. After returning to the main hall, I dismissed all the palace staff, leaving only Thanh Dai, the maid who had grown up with me. She closed the palace door tightly, and finally couldn't help but blushed. "Your highness, do you really want to accept that baby?" "Of course you must." I placed the brocade box on the table. "Tieu Thua Duc has personally acknowledged that he is the eldest son of Dong Cung, why should I stop him?" Thanh Dai was so impatient that his voice trembled. "But clearly he left the capital for so long, the baby's age is completely inconsistent. Lieu You are clearly deceiving Your Highness!” “Even if you can see it, of course other people in the capital will also see it.” I took out a piece of paper from the bottom of the jewelry box and gave it to her. On the paper, Tieu Thua Duc's entire journey was recorded after leaving the capital. On the third day of the ninth month, he led the army out of the city. On September 20, arrived at Hoai Chau. On the twelfth of October, crossed the Man River. On the sixth day of the eleventh month, enter Bac Canh. Every date is witnessed by military reports, which cannot be changed. "Bring it to the five largest printing houses in the city, each printing two thousand copies." Thanh Dai clearly saw the content on the paper, stunned. "Only print these things?" "Of course it's not just that." I picked up the pen and wrote another line at the end. 【The eldest son of Dong Cung Tieu Hanh, was born on the 7th of March this year, full term.】 Thanh Dai stared at those two lines of dates and quickly calculated them. Her eyes lit up little by little. "Your highness wants..." "The adoption party in seven days, Tieu Thua Duc wants to be resounding throughout the entire capital." I folded the paper and gave it to her. "Then I will satisfy his wish." "Before the sun rises tomorrow morning, I want to see this announcement on every street, every pub, in front of every midwife's shop in the capital." Thanh Dai took the paper and quickly left. The electric door closed again. I stood in front of the window, looking at the heavenly palace where Lieu Thanh Uyen lived, the lights were on. In her previous life, based on just one sentence, "misremembering the date", she killed everyone who knew the truth. In this life, I will not give her a chance to correct her mouth. Dates written by Tieu Thua Duc himself will be more trustworthy than anyone's testimony. It's not yet dawn, the first wave of notices has been posted on Chu Tuoc Avenue. The first person who stopped to see the announcement was an old midwife who came into the city to deliver another baby. She stared at the dates on it, calculating over and over again for a long time, then suddenly inhaled a cold breath. "If this baby is the Crown Prince's flesh and blood..." "Unless Thi Lieu, five months old, gave birth to a full-term baby weighing seven kilograms and six taels." Her voice was not loud. But there were more and more people crowding behind. As soon as it was dawn, Chu Tuoc Avenue was surrounded by people, the water couldn't get through. There are not many words on the notice. Last year the Crown Prince left the capital on the third day of the ninth month and arrived at Hoai Chau on the twentieth day of the ninth month. Lieu Thanh Uyen gave birth to Tieu Hanh on the seventh day of the third month of this year. The baby was full-term, weighing seven kilograms and six taels. Literate people read to illiterate people. The tofu seller cracked his fingers and counted twice, still not feeling right. "We met on September 20th, and already gave birth on March 7th?" The woman standing next to her laughed out loud. "The Crown Princess is truly lucky, she found one for nothing."

The eldest son knows how to run right in the mother's womb." In less than half an hour, this sentence had spread throughout half of the capital. In the tea house, the gentleman told the story without even having to knock on the sound of the stick, down below it was as noisy as a market. Some people said that Lieu Thanh Uyen was born seven months premature. Immediately, a midwife objected: "It's hard to say whether a seven-month-old baby will survive or not. How can there be such a thing that when he was born he already weighed seven kilograms and six taels, with such a loud cry?" People guessed that the Crown Prince had known Lieu Thanh Uyen since before going on the war, just because he wanted to preserve her reputation, he deliberately said that he first met in Hoai Chau. Soon after, someone brought up the military report that year. Before the Crown Prince left the capital, Lieu Thanh Uyen had always lived in Tu Au Duong on the outskirts of the capital. So, the entire capital was left with only one answer.
