Chapter 12 — Holy Order of Dowry

"This palace is old and weak, so how can you enter the palace late at night?" The great eunuch bowed, his voice stiff. "If you don't go, the servant will have to ask the army to help you go." The royal concubine was so angry that she trembled, but could not utter a word. We neatly put medical records and personal letters in a box. As he passed by Tieu Thua Canh, he suddenly whispered: "Van Chi, if the child is not mine, the king will abolish her." I stopped. "What if the child belongs to the royal family?" His eyes froze. I looked at him, saying each word: "Is the prince planning to force me to swallow this cup of poison?" The palace gate opened in the middle of the night. The cold wind blew along the long road. I held the evidence box, stepped on the stone steps and walked forward. The royal study room in the distance was filled with firelight. Just outside the palace, a bloody soldier staggered and fell from the side door, clutching an arrow tail in his hand. He knelt on the ground and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the person who brought evidence to the palace was ambushed and assassinated on the way." "That arrow's tail had the mark of the Regent." 12 The wind outside the palace suddenly stopped. All eyes were focused on Tieu Thua Canh. The last part of that name was presented to the royal court. Black fur, silver tail, the tail is engraved with the word "Canh". It is a type specifically used for the Royal Regent's bodyguard. Tieu Thua Canh stood in the middle of the main hall, his face cold and scary. "This is not an order given by the king." The emperor sat behind the throne, still young, but his eyes were very deep. "Imperial uncle, I also hope that it is not." A voice "Royal uncle", caused the atmosphere in the palace to be suppressed even lower. I knelt down below, the evidence box in my hand was handed over to the inner lady. The royal concubine was supported by someone and knelt to one side, her lips pursed tightly. Lieu Minh Chau was half lying on a soft bed, beads of sweat pouring down his forehead. The royal physician in the palace had just finished checking her pulse. The royal physician did not announce the results on the spot, but only presented the verdict to the Emperor. After the Emperor finished reading, his face showed no signs of joy or sadness. "Liu Thi has been pregnant for more than two months." Tieu Thua Canh suddenly raised his head. Lieu Minh Chau's cries fell silent. Phi Phi's finger pressed firmly on the cuff of her shirt. We recalculate the date. More than two months. At that time, Tieu Thua Canh was in the Western Region patrolling the camp, not being in the capital for forty days. The palace was silent for a moment. The Emperor put down the medical record. "Regent, what do you have to say?" Tieu Thua Canh looked at Liu Minh Chau. His eyes turned from panic to coldness. "The child is not my king's." Liu Minh Chau quickly crawled down from the top. "Your Majesty, it's not like that." "The doctor misdiagnosed." "The child in my belly is really your flesh and blood." Tieu Thua Canh walked step by step towards her. "Before this king left the capital, I never touched you." There was not even a trace of blood on Liu Minh Chau's face. also. The Dowager Princess suddenly spoke up. "Let's discuss this matter later." "The immediate focus is Tham Thi's dowry, we shouldn't drag it into other matters." I raised my eyes to look at her. "Didn't the Princess Dowager say just now that she has the blood of the royal palace in her belly, forcing me to keep her?" A flash of panic flashed in the Princess's eyes. The Emperor looked at the inner servant. "Read." The inner servant opened the evidence box, took out the private letters of the Royal Highness, the Lieu family's books, the medical records, letters hidden in the iron box in the mansion, and read them out one by one. Every time I read an item, the atmosphere in the hall became a little colder. When he got to the part where he read, "Shen shi wu tzu, the dowry sooner or later belongs to the royal palace", the Emperor hit him hard.

discussion. "Or for the saying 'sooner or later belongs to the royal palace'." "I haven't even died yet, the dowry of the Tham family's daughter, so I just let you guys plot to take it away?" The royal concubine finally couldn't stand on her knees. "Your Majesty, my father is just an careless backroom warden." I looked at her. "If the warden is not careful, can he put the blood in the food?" "The warden is not careful, yes." Can you order someone to burn the murder book?" "If the warden is not careful, could my dowry be recorded as Thi Lieu's dowry?" Imperial Concubine gritted her teeth. "You're not dead yet." I laughed softly. "So Imperial Concubine is very sorry, right?" Tieu Thua Canh closed her eyes. He turned around and knelt down. "Your Majesty, I am guilty of seven murders in this matter." I heard the words "seven murders" and a wave of nausea rose in my chest. Seven kills. What a light sentence. As if my pain for the past three years, my mother's dowry, my entire life that was almost ruined, were just a slight mistake on his part. I bowed my head and bowed to the ground. "Your Majesty, I do not ask for a word of 'death' from the Regent." "I only ask for an investigation into the matter." "Whoever usurps my father's dowry, whoever uses poison to harm my father, whoever kills someone, no one will be spared." The Emperor looked at me.
