Chapter 1 — He said he wouldn't marry me until the Holy Order came down and he would go crazy

But the person who reacted first was Mrs. Tham.

"The royal family is now in high power and position. If you want to turn back the past, you can't just rely on empty words to slander the descendants of the Tham family."

Tham Nghien Tu calmly replied:

“Please rest assured, old lady.”

“This king never talks nonsense.”

He raised his hand. Outside the palace, a black-armored guard escorted a skinny old man. The old man's clothes were torn, his hair was white, and his legs seemed unsteady on his feet. But as soon as she entered the main hall, Mrs. Tham's face immediately changed completely. Tham Nghien Phong frowned.

“Tham Trung?”

Tham Trung. The person who used to manage the horse stables of the Tham Marquis palace. I remember this name. Ten years ago, after Tham Nghien Tu fell into the abyss, Tham Trung also disappeared. The Tham mansion announced to the outside world that the old man guarding his master was not careful and committed suicide because he was afraid of crime. But now, he is still alive. Tham Trung knelt in the middle of the main hall and slammed his head hard on the ground.

“People of Tham Trung, meet Your Majesty.”

The Emperor looked towards Tham Nghien Tu. Tham Nghien Tu says:

"That year, while patrolling the North, I encountered bandits. Before I fell into the abyss, Tham Trung was not far away."

Mrs. Tham shouted loudly:

“He is an escaped servant.”

“How can you believe the words of an escaped servant?”

Tham Trung raised his face. His left eye was blind, and there was a very deep scar in the eye socket.

“The old lady is right.”

“This old slave is truly an escaped servant.”

“But the old slave did not run away because he was afraid of crime.”

“It's because someone wants to kill the old slave to suppress the gossip.”

A series of gasps immediately rang out in the main hall. Old Lady Tham's lips turned pale. The Queen finally put down the wine cup. Tham Trung looked towards Tham Nghien Phong. Those eyes seemed to be separated by ten years of blood.

“Ten years ago, the Northern patrol group passed through Black Phong Ridge.”

“The bandits appeared too suddenly, the Crown Prince protected the Second Young Master and retreated first.”

“Then the old slave ran to the cliff and saw the Second Young Master standing behind the Crown Prince.”

Tham Nghien Phong angrily shouted:

“You talk nonsense!”

Tham Trung did not stop.

“At that time, the Crown Prince was injured, with one hand holding on to a pine branch growing on the edge of the cliff.”

“He told Second Young Master to run quickly.”

“But Second Young Master did not run.”

“Raise your hand and give the Crown Prince a push.”

Mrs. Tham let out a scream.

“Shut up!”

This shout was even more urgent than the previous shout from Mrs. Tham. Everyone turned to look at her. Mrs. Tham quickly covered her mouth, tears rolling down her cheeks. Tham Nghien Phong's face no longer had any color left. He almost rushed straight forward.

“Mother, don't listen to his nonsense.”

"I'm just an old servant. I hate the Tham family. I deliberately framed you."

Tham Trung smiled coldly.

“If this old slave just wanted to frame him, why would he have to hide for ten years?”

"This old slave's eye was gouged out by the petty servant next to Second Young Master with a knife."

The old man raised his hand and pointed to his blind eye.

“That day, the old slave hid in the mountains and forests, and with his own ears, he heard the little private come back to report.”

“He said the Crown Prince has fallen.”

“Second Young Master said, it would be good if it fell down.”

Tham Nghien Phong's whole body immediately stiffened. I stand on one side, The palm of the hand is a bit cold. Before, when I pursued Tham Nghien Phong, I only felt that he was noble and cold. Only today do we know that hidden under that cold appearance is a poisonous snake's heart. Old Lady Tham suddenly stood up.

"The prince brought a crazy servant into the palace, right in front of everyone, he framed his own younger brother, clearly wanting to destroy his father's family residence, Tham."

Tham Nghien Tu looked at her.

"The person who destroyed the Tham government, isn't it the Tham government?"

Old Lady Tham was speechless by that sentence. Tham Nghien Phong gritted his teeth and said:

“If senior brother hates me for taking the title of Crown Prince of the Tham family, just say it directly.”

“Why do we have to make up such a ridiculous crime?”

Tham Nghien Tu paid no attention to him. He just slightly lowered his eyes, looking down at Tham Nghien Phong's side.

"Where did the jade pendant on your waist come from?"

Tham Nghien Phong instinctively reached out and held the jade tightly. I looked at his hand. It was a blue-white jade pendant with a cloud pattern carved on the surface. I have seen it many times. Tham Nghien Phong has never let it leave his body. Previously, I personally changed the jade tassel for him. At that time, he once said that this is a token that proves the identity of the son of the Tham family. It's also something he absolutely cannot lose. But at this moment, the old jade block with a chipped corner was lying in Tham Nghien Tu's palm, with the same cloud pattern engraved on it.
