Chapter 21 — He said he wouldn't marry me until the Holy Order came down and he would go crazy

Over the years. Tham Nghien Tu always carries it with him. Bringing the old thing that I accidentally gave him when I was twelve years old. To overcome the wind and snow at the Northern border. Also passed countless piled up bodies. I tightened my grip on the silver bell. Kneel down next to him.

“Tham Nghien Tu.”

“Did you hear that?”

“If you dare to die.”

“I will return the decree to Your Majesty.”

“I don't marry the dead.”

In the main hall. No one dared to speak up. The old military doctor opened the wound on his shoulder. Black blood flowed down the silver blade into the copper basin. I gently shook the silver bell. The bell has cracked. The sound is hoarse. So light that it was almost swallowed up by the wind and snow. But we still shake it over and over again.

“Tham Nghien Tu.”

“You said asking for the divine decree to marry me is not an insult.”

"It's about praying for marriage."

“You haven't asked if I agree or not.”

“You can't close your eyes right now.”

His fingertips did not move. I bent down and leaned close to his ear. The voice trembled.

“The Tham family owes you the debt.”

"Still haven't let them see him alive yet."

“The Tieu family has harmed you for ten years.”

“You still haven't finished it all yourself.”

“If you don't wake up.”

“Tham Nghien Phong will definitely say you have lost.”

As soon as that sentence ended. His fingertips suddenly trembled slightly. Van Tranh immediately raised his head.

“It's moving!”

The old military doctor immediately removed the needle. First needle. Stabbed in the heart. Second needle. Stabbed between the eyebrows. Until the third needle drops. A mouthful of black blood spurted out of Tham Nghien Tu's throat. I supported his shoulder. Don't dare cry. Don't dare let go either. The old military doctor shouted loudly.

“Continue calling!”

I took his hand. Place the silver bell in his palm.

“Tham Nghien Tu.”

“I've been mistaking the wrong person for ten years.”

“I don't want to miss any more.”

The screaming and killing outside the palace gradually weakened. The military talisman that Van Tranh brought back is placed in front of the throne. When Tieu Thua Vien was escorted into the palace. His whole body was covered in blood. He was about to laugh. Until he saw Tham Nghien Tu spit out that mouthful of poisonous blood. His face completely changed.

“Is he... not dead yet?”

The Emperor looked at him coldly.

“Are you disappointed?”

Tieu Thua Vien was forced to kneel on the ground. But still refused to bow.

“If Your Majesty kills me.”

“The group of veterans in the big camp on the outskirts of the capital will definitely riot.”

The Emperor has not yet spoken. Van Tranh threw a stack of military books down in front of him.

“The group of former ministries that the National Uncle said.”

“Surrendered.”

“Tran Nghiem was beheaded at Tay Hoa gate.”

“Three thousand soldiers of the large camp on the outskirts of the capital.”

“It has now been returned to the custody of the military.”

Tieu Thua Vien's face immediately turned pale. The Queen at the main hall suddenly laughed. That laugh. It's jarring again.

“Chief.”

“You also have today.”

Tieu Thua Vien glared at her.

“If it weren't for you and your mother, you'd be useless.”

“So how did it come to this!”

Crown Prince Trieu Hanh sat on the ground. Finally, I don't laugh anymore. He looked at the foot projection. Look at the military talisman that has been confiscated. Look at Tham Nghien Tu's hand, which is still being held tightly by me. Only ash remains. The old military doctor suddenly lowered his voice.

“There's a pulse.”

I immediately lowered my head. Eyelashes of Tham Nghien Tu trembled slightly. He still hasn't opened his eyes. But it uses a very light amount of force. Hold my hand upside down. My tears finally fell. The Emperor looked at that scene. Be quiet for a long time. Then slowly spoke up.

“Pass on my will.”

“Blockade of the entire imperial city.”

“The entire Tieu family.”

“The entire Tham family.”

“The Eastern Palace party crowd.”

“Interrogate immediately tonight.”

“All the blood debts tonight.”

“You have to pay each item individually.”

When Tham Nghien Tu was carried to the heavenly palace. He still hasn't fully woken up. The old military doctor said. The poison has been suppressed. But can you get through this night or not? Still have to wait. I sat guard next to the bed. The burns on his hands were treated with medicine. Pain to the point of numbness. But compared to the dark wound on Tham Nghien Tu's shoulder. This little pain of mine. It's really not worth it. It was almost dawn. The emperor sent someone to invite me to the palace to listen to the interrogation. You didn't want to leave. In a coma. Tham Nghien Tu grabbed my sleeve again. It's like knowing I'm about to leave. The old military doctor said softly:

“Miss To, just go.”

“What the King is most uneasy about.”

“It's the chess game tonight.”

"She took the place of seeing the outcome."

“Waiting for you to wake up.”

“Only I can rest assured.”

I placed the silver bell next to his pillow.

“Wait for me to return.”

In the heavenly palace. Tieu Thua Vien's leg was broken. He still gritted his teeth and refused to admit his guilt. Until. Private seal in the secret room of the Tieu family. List of martyrs. Military orders went back and forth with the big camp on the outskirts of the capital. Each dish was presented before the court. He was also silent.
