Chapter 19 — I Agree To Give Up The Marriage, But No One Knows I'm Smiling

I was so "frantic" that I couldn't continue talking. Tears sparkled at the corners of my eyes. It's like if you just blink, you'll fall. We bet. It is the arrogance of Thanh Quoc Cong. He won't believe it. A "concubine" in his eyes. A woman just hangs around the backyard. It's possible to have such a big liver and heart. He didn't believe it even more. The beloved girl he cherished so much. He could even be stupid enough to lead an outsider into his secret hiding place. He just assumed. This is a coincidence. A coincidence that made him a little unhappy. But it's not worth worrying about. A long time later. Finally, he slowly spoke.

"That's it."

"Today is the lady's party."

"Don't let this little thing ruin everyone's mood."

"Stand up, everyone."

The rope is always tight in our hearts. Finally relaxed a bit. I stood up trembling. Supported by Thanh Hoa. Still maintaining the same appearance as if not yet fully recovered.

"Thank you, Duke."

Thanh Quoc Cong did not look at me again. But turned to Thanh Ngoc Lac.

"Follow me in."

His voice carried majesty, not allowing anyone to disobey orders. Thanh Ngoc Lac was so scared that he trembled. Don't dare oppose. I could only obediently follow him into the study room. Heavily closing right in front of us. I don't leave immediately. But still standing in place. Quietly tilt your ears to listen. Very soon after that. In the study room, Thanh Quoc Cong's suppressed roar of anger rang out. Along with Thanh Ngoc Lac's self-pitying cries. I hear you very clearly.

"... It's true that there are few things that work, but many things that go wrong!"

"What have I taught you every day? Keep your mouth closed!"

"What happened today, if you dare to reveal even half a word, I will immediately take you out of the street, and for the rest of your life, don't step out!"

Immediately followed by the sound of broken porcelain, along with Thanh Ngoc Lac's more pitiful screams. The corner of my lips curled slightly into a cold smile. It's successful. Not only did I completely retreat, I also planted a thorn between father and son called suspicion and fear. Although Thanh Ngoc Lac is stupid, he is not brainless. Today she heard things she shouldn't have heard, and was even threatened by her own father. She will be afraid. But once a person knows how to be afraid, to protect himself, he can do anything. She will be the best chess piece that I can place next to Thanh Quoc Cong. I took Thanh Hoa leisurely back to the lobby. I used the excuse that I was not feeling well and said goodbye to the Duke's wife. No one notices anything unusual about us. Everyone thinks that I am still just a timid, weak Lady Hau who cannot get on the table. On the carriage back to the palace, I closed my eyes and quickly arranged everything I had just heard in my head. Kinh Trap Plan. Plotting to kill the king. These disparate clues connect together, forming a terrifying conspiracy capable of overthrowing an entire dynasty. We must immediately report this news to Tieu Dien. But I don't know if Tieu Dien is in Dong Cung at this time, whether everything will go smoothly or not. I don't even know if the Crown Prince is really worth entrusting our lives and future to. The road ahead is still foggy and foggy, murderous on all sides. We are like walking on a steel wire across a cliff deep. Just one wrong step. Bones and flesh will be broken. When we returned to Ho Quoc Marquis's palace, it was already dark. Tieu Dien has not returned yet. Our hearts are always hanging in the balance. I locked myself in my study, took everything I saw and heard today at Thanh Quoc Cong's palace, every detail, and recorded it on paper. Especially the four words "Kinh Trap Plan", I used a lipstick pen to circle it very boldly. The night is getting deeper and deeper. Just when we're tired of waiting. The underground door in the study room finally heard a knock. It's Tieu Dien. He has returned. He looked somewhat tired, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. Just saw me. He hugged me tightly.

"I'm back."

"Everything went smoothly."

He told me that Crown Prince Trieu Hang was even more scheming and more decisive than he ever thought. After listening to Tieu Dien's report, read the assassin's testimony. The Crown Prince immediately decisively mobilized the secret force that had been quietly building up over the years called "Dong Cung Ve", and began secretly investigating Thanh Quoc Cong. As for what Tieu Dien brought back. This is the initial result of the Crown Prince's investigation. A list. A list of people over the years has been installed by Thanh Quoc Cong in all names into the Forbidden Guard, Kinh Trieu palace, and even key positions next to the Emperor. Look and be startled. The power of Thanh Quoc Cong was like a giant spider web, penetrating every corner of the entire empire.
