Chapter 12 — I choose Ninh Vuong in the middle of Kim Loan Palace

I looked at the empty jade string at his waist. The old piece of jade is now in my sleeve. I said in a low voice: "Seven years ago, I saved you just because I was temporarily soft-hearted." "Standing here today is my own choice." Tieu Nghien's steps stopped. "This king has remembered." When the Thai Temple door opened, the wind blew from the temple, cold as frost. The sects came one after another in full numbers. Several old princes looked at Tieu Nghien and Tieu Thua Duc standing next to each other, their expressions were extremely complicated. The Queen Mother ordered someone to bring a sandalwood box. My heart twitched slightly. That's not the box you gave me. It's another box with the same shape. The Queen Mother noticed my surprise. She said in a low voice: "Emperor Dai Hanh never left only one path when working." Tieu Thua Duc stared at the box. "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" The Queen Mother personally peeled off the sealing wax layer. "Emperor Dai Hanh left behind a secret decree during his lifetime." "If the new army suspects Ninh Vuong, or someone borrows the harem to cause chaos in the court, it must be opened publicly in front of everyone." The palace suddenly became quiet. The bright yellow silk sheet was opened. Tong Chinh personally received it and read with a trembling voice. The first half of the secret was only to guarantee Ninh Vuong's military power for three years and could not be taken away without cause. In the middle, it is written that Ta Thi Minh Duong was treated with honor by the royal family and was not allowed to disgrace her reputation. When reading to the end, Tong Chinh suddenly stopped. His face was pale. The Queen Mother closed her eyes. "Read." Tong Chinh's throat moved. "There's something suspicious about the old case at the hunting range, Miss Tham." "If daughter Tham joins the Central Palace master, she must first investigate her old crime." 12In the Thai Temple, there was silence. Tham Nhuoc Nghi knelt on the ground, even her crying stopped. Tieu Thua Duc grabbed the sleeve of his dragon robe, his knuckles turned white. I was also stunned. The story of the hunting grounds in the past was written down in the secret decree by Emperor Dai Hanh. Tieu Thua Duc suddenly spoke: "Nonsense." His voice was not loud, but suppressed his anger. "Back then, Nhuoc Nghi took the arrow for me and almost lost my life." "If the emperor's father really suspected her, why didn't he investigate for many years?" The Queen Mother looked at him. "Because at that time you protected her too hard." "It's also because the Tham family cleaned up the traces too cleanly." Tham Nhuoc Nghi raised his face, tears falling drop by drop. "Your Majesty, I didn't do it." "If I had been one step slower that year, you wouldn't have been able to return." Tieu Thua Duc's eyes flashed again. I looked at him, only coldness remained in my heart. If a person only wants to believe what he wants to believe, even if the truth is brought before his eyes, he will still feel that it is too dazzling. Tieu Nghien calmly said: "The old arrow could not have injured your brother in a dangerous place." Tieu Thua Duc suddenly turned his head. "What do you say?" Tieu Nghien received an old map roll from Tan Chu's hand. "The east side of the hunting field has a wind direction deflected to the north." "The arrow shooter hid behind a dry pine tree, thirty-seven steps away from your brother." "If that arrow was really aimed straight at the heart, it could not have just grazed the shoulder." Tham Thi." He raised his eyes. "Unless the shooter knew from the beginning that she would stand in front." Tham Nhuoc Nghi's face turned pale. "His Royal Highness Ninh Vuong, in order to protect sister Ta, even wants to deny her life-saving grace in the past?" Tieu Nghien paid no attention to her. Tan Chu brought in an old hunter with a broken leg. That person's hair was white and his left eye was covered with a cloth. When I knelt down, my whole body trembled. Tong Chinh frowned. "Who is this person?" Tieu Nghien said: "One of the guides at the hunting range in the past." Tieu Thua Duc said coldly: "The guides that year were all interrogated." Old hunter

Prostrated, his voice trembling: "In the past, the grass people were not dead yet." "The grass people had their legs broken and thrown into the cemetery. It was His Highness Ninh Vuong's people who saved the grass people." In the Thai temple, the sound of suppressed discussion immediately rang out. The Queen Mother asked: "What did you see?" The old hunter shook his hands and took out a faded red scarf from his chest. "The people saw the maid next to Miss Tham hanging this scarf on a dry pine tree on the east side." "As soon as the scarf was hung, an arrow flew in." Tham Nhuoc Nghi shouted: "You talk nonsense." The old hunter cringed in fear, but still gritted his teeth and continued. "The people still saw that day." Miss Tham wore soft armor inside her clothes." "When the arrow grazed her shoulder, it only tore the outer garment." "Then she changed clothes in the tent, the blood-stained soft armor was taken out and destroyed by the maid." Tieu Thua Duc's face changed drastically. "Soft armor?" Tham Nhuoc Nghi cried and shook her head. "No." "Your Majesty, how can I wear soft armor to meet you?" I said softly: "If not, how dare she dare to wear it?" stand up to block the arrow?" As soon as the sentence ended, Tham Nhuoc Nghi suddenly looked at me. There was no longer any weakness in those eyes. Only hatred remains. The Queen Mother ordered people to present the red scarf. On the corner of the towel is embroidered with a small word Nghi.
