Chapter 7 — I Didn't Choose the Crown Prince, The One I Chose Made Everyone Stunned
“Uyen Nhu!”
My mother interrupted her words, then let out a long sigh, her face showing the fear and indescribable relief. She walked over and grabbed my hand, her voice choked up: "Yet Nhi, it's a bad mother, it's me being confused, I almost listened to bad people's slander." After saying that, she even glanced at Tan Uyen Nhu meaningfully. I leaned into my mother's arms, my eyes turned red, tears fell just in time: "Mother, you finally believe me, I'm really not sick, I just don't understand who could be so cruel, insisting that I'm crazy, it must ruin my whole life to accept it." My voice was not loud, carrying a choking sound, but each sentence and each word were like a knife stabbing straight into the listener's heart. I clearly felt my mother's arms hugging me tighten slightly, her eyes looking towards Tan Uyen Nhu were no longer as close as before but turned into scrutiny and suspicion. Tan Uyen Nhu immediately panicked and waved her hands repeatedly: "Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense, I... I'm just worried about my sister!"
“Is that so?”
I raised my head from my mother's arms, eyes still filled with tears, looking straight at her: "Is your concern to find the most famous doctor in diagnosing 'madness' for others? Or do you hope that I will be locked up so that you can sit upright and sit in the position of Crown Princess?" Being cornered by me, Tan Uyen Nhu's face turned blue and white, and the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. At that moment, the butler in the study room rushed in, looking panicked: "Madam, it's not over! Master... master has returned, and... also brought a servant from the palace!" Mother and Tan Uyen Nhu's faces changed at the same time, and my heart also slightly sank. Father returns and brings people from the palace with him. Is it a blessing or a curse? My thoughts were constantly spinning in my head. Outside the yard, my father's steady footsteps were heard. He walked in with a decisive look and an unprecedentedly serious expression. Following his father was an old eunuch wearing a blue general's uniform, with a white appearance and sharp eyes. It was Cong Cong Ly, a person close to the emperor. As soon as she saw Cong Ly, Tan Uyen Nhu's face turned a little paler, and her mother quickly stepped forward to bow: "Master, Cong Ly." Father did not look at her, his eyes directly stopped on her, containing a complex scrutiny, while Cong Ly quickly walked in front of me, smiling brightly like a chrysanthemum, in his hand holding a delicate yellow and pear wooden box, then spoke: "Please rest in peace, the future Seventh Princess." Cong Ly's high-pitched voice echoed throughout the yard: "The servant, following Her Highness Seven's orders, came to present the An Than Thang to the Princess. Her Highness heard that the Princess has recently been mentally unstable and overly worried, so she personally went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the best medicine; Her Highness also advised that the Princess's phoenix body is extremely noble, absolutely do not be negligent. If the doctor in the palace is incompetent, he can at any time invite the Royal Physician to come to the palace for a consultation." Every sentence and every word of Ly Cong Cong was discreet and complete, both showing Trieu Hanh's concern for me and silently raising my status to the point where no one dared to arbitrarily offend me. Invite the Thai doctor Consultation, what a grace and respect it is. After listening, Doctor Sun stood next to him, his legs felt weak, he almost knelt down, his heart must have been extremely lucky because he had made the right choice just now; If the Royal Physician really comes, a "divine physician" like him is afraid there will be no way back. The expression on Tan Uyen Nhu's face at this moment could no longer be described by the word "unsightly", it was despair; All her calculations before Trieu Hanh's light words became a joke. She wanted to destroy me, but Trieu Hanh took me to the clouds. My mother also showed a mixture of joy and fear, hastily received the wooden box: "It's a matter of bothering your highness, your highness has already taken care of it." Cong Cong Ly smiled, but as if unintentionally added: "Madam, you are polite. Your Highness also advised that the Princess has a gentle temperament and is not good at fighting. In the future, I also hope that Thuong Thuong and his wife will take care to protect and not let unrelated people disturb the peace of the Princess." This statement is clearly a blatant warning, the person being warned does not need to say it to know. Tan Uyen Nhu's body trembled uncontrollably, and my father's face darkened to the point of water dripping.
