Chapter 11 — Holy Order of Dowry

Before everyone could react, a dark shadow suddenly flashed across the tiled roof. The commander of the army drew his sword and chased after him. Tieu Thua Canh waved his hand protectively in front of Princess Dowager and Lieu Minh Chau. But I saw the robe as he fell, his finger marking three words on the ground. Not Lieu. 11The other three words are zigzag and crooked. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips and quickly stained the blue tile floor. I stood frozen in place, only feeling that the blood all over my body was cold. Not Willow. If the ones who harmed me are not only the Lieu family, then who else is behind them? The great eunuch's face turned pale. "Quick, quickly go invite the royal physician in the palace." Mother Qin knelt next to the doctor's office and opened the medical record. The corner of the paper was stained red with blood. On it, my circuit is recorded. On the seventh day of the December month, cold and poison entered the abdomen. On the ninth day of the December month, the medicinal properties increase. On the full moon of January, cold signs form. March 3rd, core damage. Each line of words is like needles, stabbing into the viewer's eye sockets. I raised my hand to receive the medical record. Tieu Thua Canh wanted to step forward. We take a step back. His hand stopped in mid-air. "Van Chi." I raised my eyes to look at him. "What else do you want to explain to them?" His voice was hoarse. "This king did not know about this." I looked at him. "You don't know that the dowry was siphoned off." "You don't know whose golden hairpin it is." "You don't know that the dowry was put in my food." "You don't know." Liu Minh Chau is pregnant." "There are so many things the prince doesn't know." His face gradually turned gray. The Royal Highness suddenly clung to the maid's shoulder and burst out laughing. "What do you blame Canh Nhi for?" "Men outside do big things, trivial things in the back yard should not be a concern for him." I looked at her. "In the eyes of the Royal Highness, is harming someone's life also a trivial matter?" The Royal Highness did not answer. She just stared at my medical records. Those eyes didn't have the least bit of remorse. There is only anger because it cannot be completely burned. Lieu Minh Chau suddenly clutched her stomach, staggered and collapsed. The maid screamed in horror. "Trac Concubine!" Tieu Thua Canh instinctively turned around to support her. I looked at his movements, and even the pain in my heart was no longer there. Habits are scary. He always protects others first. Even though I'm holding evidence in my hand that proves I was poisoned. Lieu Minh Chau leaned against his chest, crying and barely breathing. "Your Majesty, I." The royal concubine immediately said sternly: "Don't you hurry up and invite the doctor!" The great eunuch spoke coldly. "The royal physician just collapsed, and the doctor in the royal palace has also fled." The royal concubine was speechless. Tieu Thua Canh picked up Lieu Minh Chau and turned to look at me. "The child in your belly is innocent." I nodded. "So what?" His eyes were bloodshot. "Save people first." I got out of the way. "Your Majesty, please." He held Liu Minh Chau and walked out. When I reached the door, I spoke. "But she must not leave the sight of the forbidden army." Tieu Thua Canh's steps stopped. The royal concubine angrily scolded: "Tham Van Chi, do you still have humanity?" I replied to her. "If I had no humanity, I would have let her taste a bowl of my lotus seed soup right now." The great eunuch immediately sent two guards to guard her. Liu Minh Chau was taken to the next room. Before the palace physician arrived, the royal concubine's yard had already been ransacked. Behind the Buddha shrine is a secret room. In the secret room, there were bottles of medicine, checks, exchanged letters, and a block of orders from the Chief Registrar of the Royal Palace. Mother Tan took out each item and placed it in front of me. I picked up the private letter first. The letter was written by Trinh Thi and sent to the Thai Phi. Every line and every word is written very clearly. Lieu Minh Chau was born before entering the royal palace. Just waiting for the Queen

I am seriously ill, I will let my precious mother Lieu Minh Chau rely on me. If the Princess does not survive the winter, the dowry will be merged in the name of the new owner. Liu Minh Chau was pregnant before entering the royal palace. Today, Lieu Minh Chau just walked in the door. If the child was born before entering the palace, then whose child is it? When Tieu Thua Canh turned around, he just happened to see this letter. He snatched it away. Just reading two lines, his face changed. I asked him: "Have you ever mentally recalculated the date?" The royal concubine sternly interrupted: "Shut up!" Tieu Thua Canh did not look at the Royal Highness. He stared at the letter, as if he wanted to tear the entire page. From the next room came Lieu Minh Chau's crying voice. "Your Majesty, I'm in pain." This time, he no longer walked past immediately. From the bottom of my heart rose a sense of irony. He finally tasted the taste of being betrayed. The great eunuch wiped the cold sweat as he walked over. "Your Majesty, someone from the palace gate has arrived." "Your Majesty heard about the pawn shop and the prince, and ordered the Princess to bring evidence into the palace." He paused for a moment, then looked at Tieu Thua Canh and the Crown Princess. "The Prince Regent, the Crown Princess, and Lieu Trac Phi, also went into the palace to wait for questioning." The Crown Princess's face changed drastically.
