Chapter 14
Chapter 14 — He said he wouldn't marry me until the Holy Order came down and he would go crazy
The Queen suddenly screamed and interrupted.
“Trieu Hanh, shut up!”
The Prince's eyes were filled with madness.
“What are you afraid of, mother?”
“We lost tonight.”
“Already lost.”
“Then we can't just let us go to hell alone.”
He looked at me and said word by word:
“Before she died, Mrs. To left behind a blood letter.”
"That blood letter is no longer in the Tieu family residence."
"But I'm in the Tham residence."
Old Lady Tham suddenly raised her head. I also looked towards her. The horror on her face was even worse than when she was exposed about plotting to kill her nephew. Tham Nghien Tu's voice was as cold as a blade.
“Where in the Tham family residence?”
Mrs. Tham gritted her teeth. The Crown Prince laughed out loud.
“She didn't dare speak.”
“Because of that blood letter.”
“Not just writing about the Tieu family.”
“And there's a secret.”
“A secret enough to have the entire To family beheaded.”
His father's face turned pale at that moment. I saw the person's throat move slightly. Like I wanted to say something. But in the end, I still swallowed it back. My heart suddenly sank.
“Father.”
Father never looked at me. That's scarier than any answer. The Emperor's eyes fell on his father.
“To Hoai Can.”
“Do you know what the Crown Prince just said?”
Father knelt down. The Eastern palace guards were stripped of all their weapons by the black armor team. But the person's spine is still straight.
“God is guilty.”
My breath suddenly choked. In the main hall, whispers immediately arose everywhere. The Crown Prince smiled even more proudly.
“See, To Van Nguyet.”
“Do you really think you are that pure?”
“That year, your mother wove brocade on behalf of the Tieu family as a tribute.”
“Then I want to turn around and bite the Tieu family.”
“What about your father?”
“Obviously I know everything inside.”
“But he endured it without saying anything.”
“In this whole hall.”
“Who is not a sinner?”
I stared at my father's back, my voice tense.
“Father.”
“What is it all about?”
Father slowly raised his head. He did not look at the Emperor. But look at me. In those eyes that were always gentle. Hiding a pain that we have never seen before.
“Before death.”
“Your mother gave me half a blood letter.”
"She said, the Tieu family secretly cast an extra seal, forged the order to mobilize the defense of the Eastern Palace, causing the eldest son of the Tham family to fall into the abyss."
“She also said that someone in the Qi family was forced to weave brocade as a tribute to the Tieu family.”
“If this is exposed.”
“Then of the more than one hundred people in the Qi family, not one will be left alive.”
My throat is choked. The parent continued to say:
“At that time, my mother's entire family was still in Giang Nam.”
“If I immediately present it to the court.”
“It is unlikely that the Tieu family has collapsed.”
“But the Qi family will definitely be destroyed first.”
"That's why I didn't offer the royal state."
The person slammed his head hard on the ground.
“God has selfish thoughts.”
“I have kept my wife's house.”
“Also kept the To family palace.”
“I deserve to die.”
In the main hall, there was a moment of silence. I watched my father put his head down on the white jade floor, my eyes suddenly stinging. It's not someone who doesn't understand what righteousness is. But someone who understands himself very well weak. So weak that even his wife's blood book did not dare to take it out. Tham Nghien Tu suddenly spoke up.
“Thu Thuong did not hide everything.”
Everyone looked towards him. Tham Nghien Tu says:
“Three years ago, when the Northern border was lacking medicine.”
“The To family's merchant team brought medicine into the military camp, and also brought along a secret book.”
I was stunned. Father also raised his head. Tham Nghien Tu looked at his father.
"That secret book was sent by Thuong Thuong."
Father gently closed his eyes.
"That's right."
The human voice is very quiet.
“I don't dare touch the Tieu family in the capital.”
“Evidence can only be brought to the Northern border.”
“I don't know if King An Bac is Tham Nghien Tu or not.”
“I only know, if that person is truly a survivor from the past in Black Phong Ridge.”
“Then we will definitely investigate to the end.”
My chest felt like it was being hit hard by something fierce. It turns out that my father hasn't done anything before. People only use the stupidest methods. The slowest. Also the most discreet. Little by little, bring the mother's blood to the hands of those who should see it. Tham Nghien Tu looked towards the Emperor.
“Your Majesty, the secret book sent by Thu Thuong is the key to my investigation of the Tieu family's private seal.”
The Emperor was silent for a moment.
"Worth or sin, we will discuss later."
“First find the blood book.”
Old Lady Tham's face was as gray as ash. The Emperor said coldly:
“Lady Shen.”
“Where is the blood book?”
