Chapter 7 — He Used To See Me As A Decoration, Now He Begs Me Not To Leave

On the outside, the flowers will still bloom more brilliantly than usual, with stunning red petals, as if they were taken care of extremely carefully. But underneath that layer of soil, the roots are rotting day by day. Wait until the pot of orchids that Thuc Phi loves the most will suddenly wither and wither after the night of her birthday. At that time, as long as someone accidentally mentions the rumors in the palace that I know how to curse the ancient evil magic of Nam Cuong, know how to use evil medicine to harm people, then even without evidence, everyone will naturally suspect me. A woman from Southern Cuong. A royal concubine was once rumored to have used "evil magic" to save people. Even if he is not convicted, he will never be able to raise his head again for the rest of his life. This was To Khinh Nhu's original plan. Noisy, secretive, killing without seeing blood. But she did not expect that, right at the banquet that day, Concubine Thuc's attitude towards me would completely change. Not only did she proactively pull me to sit next to her, but she also personally told everyone in front of everyone that I cured her old illness. Just that one sentence was enough to make my position in the Royal Palace immediately different from before. But that made To Khinh Nhu scared. Because she understands better than anyone, once I truly gain Concubine Thuc's trust, then the previous rumors of witchcraft will collapse. At that time, the person suspected will be her. So she couldn't wait any longer... That's why the scene "Phoenix Blood Flowing Glass" was broken on the night of the longevity banquet. That's why my earring appeared in the middle of the chaos. She wanted to take advantage of the time when everyone had no time to react and directly accuse me of the crime. I just don't know when she got my earring. But thinking carefully, that is no longer important. Because even without this earring, she would still find a way to take another item that belongs to me and place it at the crime scene. From the beginning, what she wanted was never true. Which is enough evidence for everyone to believe that the guilty person is me. In any case, a pot of orchids that was smashed in front of everyone's eyes was still much more likely to provoke Thuc Phi's anger than a pot of flowers that silently withered. Unfortunately, she was too hasty. It was because of haste that the biggest loophole was revealed. She just remembered to destroy the orchid pot. But forget that the rotten roots are the true evidence that can bring her entire conspiracy to light. Both cruel to the extreme and ridiculously stupid. The entire flower room fell into deathly silence. Everyone used a completely new look, both frightened and complicated, looking at To Khinh Nhu, then looking at me. The earring in Tieu Can Ngon's hand made a "jinking" sound and fell to the ground. He looked at me, his eyes were filled with waves of surprise, regret and confusion, not knowing what to do. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something to me. But I'm too lazy to even give him another look. I walked up to him, walked directly past him, bent down to pick up the earring from the ground and used a handkerchief to carefully wipe it clean little by little. Then, I looked at him, every word was extremely clear:

“Tieu Can Ngon, now Can you see clearly?

Having finished speaking, I didn't look at anyone anymore, turned around and left. Under everyone's complicated eyes, I gradually returned to my Thinh Truc Uyen. Behind me is the complete collapse of trust, and the endless karmic fire of regret is about to begin to burn. To Khinh Nhu was detained in her private courtyard, declared to the outside world as "resting". That close maid was beaten to death with a stick, her body was rolled up with a grass mat and dragged out the back door of the Royal Palace. Thuc Phi was seriously ill. The entire Can Vuong palace was enveloped in an atmosphere of heavy pressure. On the contrary, our Thinh Truc Uyen has become the quietest place. After that night, Tieu Can Ngon withdrew all the guards guarding the front door of the courtyard, and at the same time lifted the detention order for me.
