Chapter 20 — He Gave The Wrong Concubine, I Received The Correct Queen's Throne

The Bac Man man grinned, revealing his bloody teeth.

"This sentence..."

"You should ask your own Central Plains nobles."

The words just ended. Suddenly, a loud bell rang outside. One sound after another. Like an iron hammer hitting straight into the chest. An inner servant covered in blood fell into the palace.

"The Queen Mother!"

"Dong Hoa Mon has fallen!"

"There is a rebel in the forbidden army!"

"There is also a group of black armored soldiers raising the Ninh Vuong flag, killing them straight to the Queen Mother's palace!"

The bell rang so loudly that the dust on the cross beams of the main hall also scattered and fell. Prime Minister Lam was so scared that he fell limp and fell to the ground. Mrs. Lam suddenly laughed loudly.

"He's here."

"He really has arrived."

"Don't you dare stay alive to interrogate me."

Lam Ngoc Dao hugged the child and screamed.

"Mother, you said he would save me!"

"He said that as long as I bring the child back, I will still be a noble!"

Tham Le suddenly turned his head to look at her. In those eyes, there was no trace of old love left.

"So she lied to me from beginning to end."

Lam Ngoc Dao cried and shook her head.

"I just want to live."

"You said you loved me, but in Bien Bac, besides training soldiers, you never really looked at me."

"They gave me a path, I followed it."

Tham Le felt like her spine had been pulled out, her whole body staggered. I don't look at them anymore. The sound of soldiers and armor outside the palace was getting closer and closer, like a rolling tide pressing in. Yen Hanh drew his sword and blocked it in front of the Queen Mother. But the Queen Mother did not panic. The person looked at me.

"Are you afraid?"

I shook my head.

"Not afraid."

This time, I'm really not afraid anymore. Three years ago, when I left the Prime Minister's Palace, I had nothing in my hands. And now, behind me is the injustice of my maternal grandmother, the letter from my biological mother, and the support that the Queen Mother gave me. If at this point we are still afraid. So sorry for the people who died in the old case. I took out a jade tablet engraved with phoenix patterns from my sleeve and gave it to the female official.

"According to the old plan, open the eastern underground door and escort the Queen Mother into Noan Pavilion."

The female official did not hesitate and immediately joined the palace maids to help the Queen Mother stand up. But the Queen Mother held my hand.

"Who are you going with?"

I looked at him and spoke softly.

"Mother, the fish have taken the bait, finally someone has to collect the net."

The Queen Mother's eyes heated up, then quickly darkened again.

"Must live."

I nodded.

"I haven't even sat in the position you gave me yet. I can't bear to die."

His eyes turned red with my words, but he still let the female official help him into the underground door. Just when the stone door closed. There was a loud explosion in the main hall, and the door was blown open. The black armor army rushed into the main hall. The leader took off his mask, revealing a face that we had only seen in paintings. Old Marquis of the Tham family. Tham Le's father. Tham Le froze on the spot, her voice hoarse.

"Father?"

Tham Hau glanced at him, his eyebrows filled with dissatisfaction.

"Refuse."

"I told you to marry the eldest daughter of the Lam family, but you were entangled with a stupid woman."

"Tell you to bring back the purple wooden box, then bring it to the royal palace."

"The Shen family's hundred years of planning were almost destroyed in your hands."

The last bit of blood on Tham Le's face was also there disappear.

"Is the Shen family really involved in the old case?"

Tham Hau smiled coldly.

"An old case?"

"Winners write history, only losers call it an old case."

"That year, the Co family held military power in Bien Bac and refused to be dictated to by Ninh Vuong, so they deserved to die."

I clearly heard each knuckle make a cracking sound. The blood of maternal ancestors and biological mothers. In his mouth. Just summed up in two words "worthy of death". The tip of Yen Hanh's sword slightly lifted.

"Where is Ninh Vuong?"

Tham Hau leaned aside. Behind the group of black armored soldiers, a man wearing a black cloak slowly walked into the main hall. He took off his hood. In the crowd of elders filled with electricity, someone cried out loudly. That face has aged a lot. But you can still see the outlines of the ancient royal family. He looked towards the underground door and smiled gently.

"My sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for many years. Why do you have to avoid me?"

The bottom of Yen Hanh's eyes was filled with killing intent.

"Ninh Vuong."

But Ninh Vuong did not look at him. His eyes swept over everyone, stopping on me.

"You really look like your mother."

My heart is cold.

"You don't deserve to mention her."

Ninh Vuong's smile became deeper.

"She could have lived that year."

"If she would give me her military letter, if she would admit the blood in her child, I would have spared her life."

Yen Hanh suddenly turned to look at me.
