Chapter 15 — He said he wouldn't marry me until the Holy Order came down and he would go crazy

Old Lady Tham's lips trembled slightly.

“I... don't know.”

Van Tranh suddenly spoke up:

“Your Majesty, in the iron box at the Tham family palace, there is still a secret compartment that has not been opened.”

Old Lady Tham suddenly turned to look at her. That look almost wanted to swallow someone alive. Tham Nghien Tu calmly said: The guard immediately presented the iron box that had been blackened again. Van Tranh pulled out a short dagger, slid it through the gap at the bottom of the box, and gently pried. A very small "click" sounded. The bottom of the box suddenly popped out a thin secret compartment. There is no gold or silver inside. There was only one bloody letter wrapped in oiled paper. The color of the blood has turned dark red. The edges of the paper still have traces of being burned by fire. I stared at that piece of paper. Suddenly it became dark before my eyes. Thanh La quickly caught me.

“Miss.”

I shook my head.

“I'm okay.”

Tham Nghien Tu did not let the eunuch read it right away. He looked towards me first.

“Miss To.”

“Do you want to see for yourself?”

I reached out my hand to receive it. The moment the blood letter was opened. I could barely stand. That is the mother's handwriting. But every stroke of the pen feels like I've used up all my strength. She wrote about the Tieu family's secret casting of secondary seals. Writing about the order to mobilize defense in Hac Phong Linh was fake. Write about how the Qi family was forced to weave brocade to pay tribute. Write about how she doesn't want to continue hiding for the Tieu family anymore. But the Queen ordered someone to put her under house arrest in the To family's backyard. To the last few lines. The handwriting was completely disordered. If I die. Probably not because of illness. If Van Nguyet grows up. I hope you don't have to go to the palace. Not climbing for power. Don't let others manipulate you. If this letter ever sees the light of day. Hope to restore innocence to the deceased. My tears finally fell onto the page. It turned out that before his death. What my mother misses most is not the feud. The Crown Prince suddenly laughed coldly.

“So touching.”

“Unfortunately, Mrs. To wrote one more sentence.”

“Why don't you read it?”

I bowed my head and looked down at the end. The corner is obscured by oil paper. There is still a line of words written in very light blood. Moment of clarity. My whole body felt like it was frozen. Mother writes. In the hands of the Tieu family, there is still a true mat. Hidden in the Eastern Palace. The two words "projection". It was like a thunderbolt struck straight down in the middle of the main hall. The decree in the Crown Prince's hand just now was fake. But in the mother's blood letter. It was also written that in the Tieu family's hands there was still another true document. The Emperor's face finally completely sank. In the Queen's ashen eyes. Again, a ray of dark light flashed. The Crown Prince hugged his injured wrist. Laughing so much I could barely breathe.

“Father.”

“Do you really think that tonight I will only prepare a teleporter?”

"The hypocrite is for the courtiers to see."

“There is still true religion.”

“It's just for people to see.”

The Emperor stared at him.

“What is written in the foot of the edict?”

The Crown Prince did not answer. He just turned to look at the Queen. The Queen slowly stood up straight. Even though the phoenix robe was stained with wine, the bun was still messy. She still looked like she had just grasped the last blade.

“Your Majesty, it's not like you already guessed it in your heart Star?"

Her voice was very light. But cold like poison.

“The Immortal Emperor before his death.”

“Indeed, I left behind a secret decree.”

“If the reigning Emperor is not legitimately crowned.”

“Then the royal family can establish another Sage King.”

The whole hall was immediately in an uproar. The four words "unofficial coronation". Even scarier than forced confessions. The Emperor was so angry that he burst out laughing.

“The Tieu family really dares to fabricate everything.”

The Queen also laughed.

“Is it a fabrication or not?”

“Your Majesty, don't you dare watch?”

I clutched my mother's blood letter tightly, my fingertips were cold. This is the true trump card of the Tieu family. A fake projection can incite officials. The re-projection can tear apart the old story about the Emperor's accession to the throne. Regardless of the content of that true projection. Just tonight it came out. The court will definitely be in chaos. Tham Nghien Tu suddenly spoke:

“The true projection is not in the Eastern Palace.”

The smile on the Crown Prince's face immediately stopped. Tham Nghien Tu looked at Van Tranh. Van Tranh immediately responded:

"Reporting to the King, when his subordinates searched the Eastern Palace, they indeed did not find the secret decree."

The Queen coldly said:

"Does King An Bac think that this palace will place such a thing in the East Palace waiting for you to come and examine it?"

Tham Nghien Tu's face remained unchanged.

“You hid it in a place where everyone didn't expect it.”

The Queen's eyes wavered slightly. I followed Tham Nghien Tu's eyes. What he looks at. It's Tham Nghien Phong.
