Chapter 17 — I choose Ninh Vuong in the middle of Kim Loan Palace

Tieu Thua Duc slowly bowed his head, looking at Tham Nhuoc Nghi in his heart. Tham Nhuoc Nghi cried and shook her head. "Your Majesty, I don't have it." "I was just afraid that something would happen to the child, so I brought the calming incense." Lieu Dien raised her head. "That's not the calming incense." "Toi Mach incense is prepared from bitter gourd, apricot powder and apricot musk. Just smelling it can stabilize the joy veins, but long-term sniffing will damage the soul." "This is the method the Tham family makes." My father once saw it in the pharmacy room of the Tham residence." Tham Hoai Son shouted: "You speak nonsense." Lieu Dien coldly looked at him. "If Lord Tham feels that the people are talking nonsense, then send someone to search Phuong Nghi's palace and the pharmacy room of the Thua An palace." Tham Nhuoc Nghi's hand suddenly tightened his grip on Tieu Thua Duc's shirt. That move is clearer than any explanation. The Queen Mother closed her eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was only coldness left in his eyes. "Search." Tieu Thua Duc raised his head. "Your Majesty, she is still pregnant." The Queen Mother looked at him. "Ai sir searched for medicinal herbs, not her stomach." Tieu Thua Duc was speechless. I stood to the side, looking at him hugging Tham Nhuoc Nghi, suddenly remembering that winter night in the Eastern Palace. At that time, he had wind and cold, so I watched the stove all night without sleep. After waking up, he held my hand and said that he would definitely not let me suffer any resentment in the future. Now he will still change his face for a woman. It's just that that person has never been me before. Tieu Nghien said in a low voice: "Don't look anymore." I turned my head to look at him. He stood next to me, his sleeve still stained with blood from the west door. "Dirty eyes." The coldness in my heart was gently broken by those words. The Queen Mother ordered someone to take Tham Nhuoc Nghi to the royal palace of the Thai Temple, and sent Mother Thuong to personally guard it. Tham Hoai Son and Hua Tranh were escorted down to the palace. Tong Chinh flipped through the books in the iron box, his face becoming whiter and whiter. The books not only record the import and export of military supplies, but also contain extremely secret amounts of money. One of them was recorded a month before Emperor Dai Hanh was seriously ill. The person who received the money was the palace's inner lady, Phung Duc. When Tieu Thua Duc saw this name, his eyebrows twitched slightly. Phung Duc is the general manager of the royal palace who was just promoted by him after ascending the throne. He is also the one who proclaimed the decree of establishment today. The Queen Mother obviously also remembers this person. She said in a deep voice: " Truyen Phung Duc." The inner lady quickly left. Not long after, the maid rolled back and crawled back. "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Cong Phung has disappeared." Tieu Thua Duc's face darkened. "What do you mean by disappearing?" "The servant went to the guard duty room to look for someone, only saw a pool of blood on the ground." "The copy of the edict also disappeared." The Thai temple seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. I raised my eyes to look at Tieu Thua Duc. He also looked towards me in that moment. For the first time, panic appeared in his eyes. Tong Chinh suddenly turned to the bottom of the iron box and pulled out an extremely small piece of folded golden silk. He just took one look and his whole body stiffened. The Queen Mother asked: "What is that again?" Tong Chinh's throat was dry. "It's the draft decree originally drafted by Trung Thu." "The Queen candidate written on it is not Tham Thi." Tieu Thua Duc suddenly stood up. Tong Chinh slowly raised his head, his voice trembling. "It's Ta Thi Minh Duong." 17 As soon as those four words ended, all eyes in the Thai Temple fell on him. I don't move. But the fingers in the sleeve tightened little by little. It turns out that phoenix crown was supposed to be placed on my head. It turns out that the holy edict on Kim Loan Palace is not just Tieu Thua Duc's betrayal of me. But also

The person who stole the dragon disguised the phoenix and forcibly removed my name from the Central Palace position. The Queen Mother's face was so gloomy that it was almost scary. "Bring it here." Tong Chinh offered the golden silk. The Queen Mother opened it and looked carefully. The more she looked, the more her hand trembled. "This is the posthumous edict that the emperor ordered Trung Thu to compose before his death." "On it are the seals of the Trung Thu Order, the Minister of Rites and the General Government." Ta Hanh's father took a step forward. "I would like to check the seal." Tieu Thua Duc did not say anything. His face was pale, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off in front of everyone. Tong Chinh took out the book to compare. A moment later, he knelt down strongly. "The seal is true." The Minister of Rites also knelt down. "I remember this edict." "The night before the new emperor ascended the throne, we worshiped the emperor's will and brought the edict into the palace." "But the next day when it was read, the golden silk that Phung Duc took out was changed to Tham Thi's name." Tieu Thua Duc closed his eyes. The Queen Mother stared at him. "Emperor, do you know?" This question was heavier than the sound of swords and soldiers outside the palace. In the heavenly hall, Tham Nhuoc Nghi's suppressed cry was heard. Tieu Thua Duc's throat moved. "I only know that Nhuoc Nghi once saved me." "I promised you that I would not betray you." I suddenly laughed.
