Chapter 9 — I Didn't Choose the Crown Prince, The One I Chose Made Everyone Stunned

"Eldest lady, this is the royal phoenix blood jade pendant that the Queen loves the most. She gave it to you as a wedding gift. I wish you and His Highness the Seventh peace in peace and soon give birth to a noble son."

Mother excitedly raised her hand to receive it, but I took a step faster and knelt down to thank her: "I thank you, Your Majesty." My fingertips touched the jade, cold to the bone, and my heart also sank to the bottom of the abyss. That year, the northern border rebelled, the General Vuong defending the Northern Cuong was investigated for colluding with the enemy, the evidence was clear, the general's palace was confiscated and the whole family beheaded; And this jade blood phoenix block is the longevity ceremony that General Vuong offered to the Queen, becoming one of the "evidence" against the enemy. At that time, the Queen had a higher level of skill, she pushed all the blame onto the head of a dead eunuch, saying that she was completely unaware, and in the end she was completely free from the crime. It's just that, at that time, very few people saw this phoenix blood jade with their own eyes, and even more did not know that this phoenix blood jade block had a pair, the other one was still carefully hidden by the Queen... All of this I only vaguely knew that after death, my soul had not yet dissipated, still surrounding the back place, the Eastern Palace. Now, she gave that piece of jade paper to me, with such cruel intentions. It's clear that she wants to turn that piece of phoenix blood jade into a drama of slander and disaster from her previous life, reenacting on her, if only the opportunity is ripe... This piece of jade, once the time is ripe, will become iron evidence accusing our Qin family of being enemies. What a bloodless murder plan. After Truong ma ma left, the mother held the jade pendant in her hand, loved it so much that she couldn't bear to let it go, caressed it and smiled and said: "Yet Nhi, look at how beautiful it is. The Queen really still loves you." Looking at my mother's innocent face, my heart aches every time. It was that innocence that harmed her in her previous life, and harmed the entire Tan family. I smiled slightly and gently took the jade from her hand: "Yes, it's really beautiful. My daughter likes it very much, and will wear it with her every day from now on." Mother nodded with satisfaction. Right in front of her, I solemnly put the jade pendant on my waist, the blood-red color standing out against the elegant outfit, creating an indescribably strange look. After my mother left, I immediately called Van Chau over: "Go, use the fastest way to report to Thiet Dien, saying... the fish has taken the bait." Van Chau was ordered to leave. I sat by the window, my hand gently caressing the jade on my waist, silently mentioning the Queen, Trieu Dich, and Tan Uyen Nhu in my heart; Your chess game is down, now it's my turn to place my pieces. This game has only just begun. That night, I went to the abandoned temple in the west of the city, still a familiar secret room, Trieu Hanh was waiting; Under the candlelight, his face was rosier than before, no longer pale and sickly. As soon as he saw me, his eyes immediately stopped at the jade block at his waist, his pupils suddenly twitched: "Phoenix blood jade." He recognized that object. “Where did she get this from?”

“The Queen gave it.” I replied briefly: "She wants to use her old tricks again."

Trieu Hanh's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "It turns out there was a couple. She was very powerful, planning to use a trick to frame the enemy for treason, so that the entire Tan family would be beheaded." I was slightly surprised: “Your Highness knows about me General Wang?” Trieu Hanh's voice was very calm: "That year, General Vuong's case was personally pressed by my father."

"The Emperor knew that the Queen was pulling the strings behind the scenes, but because he wanted to strengthen the Crown Prince's position, he chose to sacrifice the General of the Royal Family."

Hearing that, my heart grew colder inch by inch. It turns out that's it, the Emperor knows everything, it's just that the monarch's martial arts are so cold that they make people shiver.

“So what should we do?”

I looked at Trieu Hanh and asked.

“Take your plan, give it back to you.”

His eyes glowed: "The Queen doesn't want to use this jade to condemn her, so we will make that jade itself the hammer to ring her funeral bell." His words shook my heart, I looked into his eyes and clearly saw the same intensity and determination as mine. We are the same kind of people, for revenge we can spare no cost.

“Your Highness has a plan?”

He nodded slightly: "I need you to cooperate in performing a play for a key person to see." The key person in Trieu Hanh's words was General Ly who told him to return home. General Ly was once my father's deputy and also General Vuong's close friend. He had a straightforward personality and could not contain a grain of sand in his eyes.
