Chapter 13
Chapter 13 — I heard that I had a loving husband and wife, and had many children and grandchildren. He crushed the white jade bowl in his hand.
He clasped his hands, then left. I sat in the lobby, facing the box full of documents, and was lost for a long time. Everyone said Han Chinh was a martial artist with not much wealth. But in reality, the Han family's roots are deeper than half of the families in the capital. It's just that Han Chinh never mentioned it, nor did he brag about it. He was in the military camp, the shoes on his feet were so worn that the soles were almost torn. In the capital, he lived in a remote palace. When others laugh at you, you can only scratch your head and laugh foolishly. But of all the Northern Cuong soldiers and horses, more than half were recognized as members of his Han family. This kind of inside story... There's no need to say it out loud. The night Han Chinh returned victorious, I placed a stack of documents in front of him.
“Do you know how much land your property has?”
He stopped by to take a look.
"Oh, these things. Father said it before, but I can't remember."
"You can't remember? This is more than twenty parts of land deeds, real estate, and shops."
"It's okay if you manage it. I'm not good at these things."
He sat down and started eating, his cheeks bulging from chewing food. I looked at him and suddenly felt that the fourteen years of my previous life were truly a joke. Tieu Duc gave me a palace full of pearls and pearls, but I thought it was an exclusive pet. Han Chinh directly pushed the entire inheritance into my hands, and was too lazy to even ask one more question. The former is called bribery, which is also an illusion. The latter is called giving. Thanh Uyen sent out a letter from the palace. The letter was very short, only two lines of text.
"Sister, recently the Queen has been treating me especially closely. I always feel like something is wrong. The other day she even gave me a bowl of soup, I didn't dare drink it."
My hand holding the letter immediately stopped in mid-air. In my previous life, I was in the palace, and there was that bowl of "nourishment thang" that I had to drink every day. It is said that it was prescribed by the Thai hospital, helping to replenish qi and nourish blood. I have been drinking for fourteen years. Fourteen years without children. I burned that letter and immediately went looking for my mother that same day.
"Mom, you should choose a doctor who is quiet and trustworthy, and immediately prescribe a remedy that can both cure the suicide and stabilize the pregnancy. Then secretly deliver the medicine to the palace, absolutely not revealing the secret."
"If someone interrogates you along the way, just say it's some nutritious food that Lady Dung Tan's family specially sent someone to bring in to nourish your body."
“At that time, even if someone wants to stop it, there will be no time.”
"In addition, come to the next room to receive three hundred taels of silver, use it to take care of and clear relations on the way to deliver the medicine to the palace, there must be absolutely no mistakes."
Mom's face immediately changed.
“Miss, you are suspicious…”
"Don't ask. Just do it."
Three days later, the antidote and tranquilizer were brought into the palace. Thanh Uyen replied to the letter saying that she had received it, but did not dare reveal this. A few more days passed, and I was in the palace arranging the family letters that Han Chinh sent back. Mama came in again.
“Miss, there is someone outside asking for an audience, saying it is the palace maid from Lady Dung Tan's palace.”
I immediately stood up. The person who came was a young palace maid, her face filled with panic. As soon as she saw me, she immediately knelt down.
"Weld Lady and servant is Xuan Hanh next to Lady Dung. Today, the Queen suddenly replaced all the palace staff close to Dung, saying that the rules in the palace needed to be adjusted. Xuan Almond was only able to run out when there was chaos."
I squatted down to look at her.
“How is Thanh Uyen now?”
“The lady is fine now. But the people next to the Queen have all been replaced, and every move of the Queen is now being monitored."
I stood up, walked back and forth twice in the room. Co Van Thu has begun to act. She first set watch to investigate. Then change the servant. Tighten step by step. My sister is in her hands... like a chess piece clenched in the palm of her hand.
“Don't go back to the palace for now, just stay here.”
Xuan Hanh nodded continuously. That night, I picked up a pen and wrote an envelope to Han Chinh.
“There are no big problems in the house. But people in the palace have begun to target Thanh Uyen. Maybe I need your help with something.”
