Chapter 13 — He said he wouldn't marry me until the Holy Order came down and he would go crazy

In the palace, everyone said that she became sick due to work and that medicine could not cure her. Her parents mourned for her for three full years. Since then, the To family has never married another stepmother. But now. The jade brooch, which had never left his mother's side, was found in the secret room of the Tieu family's palace. I walked step by step in front of Van Tranh, reached out my hand to receive the jade brooch. As soon as the brooch touched my hand, it was cold. At the tail, a dark red dot has long since dried to brown. My fingertips trembled slightly.

“Where was this brooch found?”

Van Tranh looked at Tham Nghien Tu, then replied in a low voice:

“In the secret compartment on the third floor of the Tieu family's secret room.”

“Stored with a specially minted secret secondary seal and forged records of tribute brocade.”

The Queen's expression immediately changed. The Crown Prince held his bleeding wrist and his eyes became gloomy. I turned my head to look at them.

"My mother's belongings, why are they in the Tieu family residence?"

The Queen smiled coldly.

“How does this palace know why a lady's brooch is in the Tieu family residence?”

She was even more hasty to brush off the relationship. My heart is even colder. Tham Nghien Tu raised his hand. Van Tranh immediately presented a notebook.

“Miss To, this subordinate also found this.”

We open the notebook. Just reading the first two lines made my breath catch. Those are old records of the Qi family's textile factory in Jiangnan. My mother comes from the Qi family. The book clearly records the destination of a batch of gold brocade tribute. There are three panels in it. Not allowed to transfer to Noi Tao Giam. Instead, he was secretly taken to the Tieu family's palace. Signed pen stroke below. It is my mother's autobiography. Father finally spoke with a hoarse voice.

“Van Nguyet.”

I turned my head to look at the person.

“Do your parents know about this?”

Parents closed their eyes. His voice sounded like it had been sandpapered.

“Before her death, my mother said she was at fault with the Qi family, and also with the Su family.”

“I thought at that time she was unconscious from illness.”

“Later, several managers of the Qi family continuously encountered problems.”

“I used to investigate.”

“But the clues to Tieu's mansion were completely broken.”

The person looked towards the Queen. For the first time, hatred appeared in his eyes.

“At that time, I was just a sixth-rank official.”

"I don't dare to bet on the entire Su family."

My heart felt like it had been stabbed by something. Not resentful of father. But resent this world. There is a murderer who kills people. Yet she was still able to sit firmly on the Queen's throne for ten years. Some people know clearly that they have been wronged. But I didn't dare even cry loudly. The Emperor looked at that notebook, his face extremely gloomy.

“Has Noi Tao Giam arrived yet?”

Soon, outside the main hall, someone knelt down to report.

“Regent Noi Tao Giam requests an audience.”

An old man with white hair and beard was led in. He first examined the so-called will in the Crown Prince's hand. Then look at the notebook presented by Van Tranh along with the remaining orders. A moment later. He prostrated himself on the ground, bowed his head, and reported.

“Your Majesty, the will is fake.”

The Crown Prince's face was completely pale. The director continued to say:

“This golden brocade roll is truly the type with the unicorn pattern rising in the sea of clouds that only appeared after the fifth year of Your Majesty's accession to the throne.”

“The lipstick mark on it, although fake, looks extremely similar Real."

“But it's not the Nine Dragons Ngu Bao.”

“On the contrary, it completely matches the mark of the secondary seal secretly minted by the Tieu family.”

The Queen's body slightly staggered. The prince roared:

“You have long been bribed by King An Bac!”

The director was so scared that his whole body trembled, but he still said:

“The old man has been in charge of Noi Tao Giam for thirty years.”

“Absolutely do not dare to leer.”

The emperor coldly raised his eyes.

“Trieu Hanh.”

“Do you have anything else to say?”

The Crown Prince looked around at everyone in the main hall and suddenly burst into laughter.

“If you win, you will become a king, if you lose, you will become a enemy.”

“What else is there to say?”

The Queen shouted loudly:

“Hanh Nhi!”

But the Crown Prince did not look at her. His eyes passed Tham Nghien Tu and stopped on the jade brooch in my hand.

“To Van Nguyet, do you want to know how your mother died?”

My fingers suddenly tightened. Tham Nghien Tu leaned over, blocking half a step in front of me. The Crown Prince smiled maliciously.

“She did not die of illness.”

“It's about drinking poison yourself.”

The angry father shouted:

“You talk nonsense!”

The Crown Prince slowly said:

“Because she discovered things that shouldn't have been discovered.”

“At first she intended to file a petition against the state.”

“Unfortunately, she is too naive.”

“The Tieu family was able to secretly cast the extra seal.”

"Can't you stop a female member of a family who specializes in weaving palace products?"

I just feel a constant ringing in my ears.
