Chapter 3 — I Only Waited for Father, Yet the Court Called Me a Temptress

But Concubine Y Quy coldly called her back.

"King Regent, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, the palace banquet has not ended yet, this woman's identity has not been clarified yet, she is not suitable to travel in the palace."

She raised her hand and pointed straight at me.

"First take her to Dich Dinh's side room to guard her, wait for the Queen Mother to stabilize, then continue to investigate and verify."

His father's footsteps stopped. I hugged his neck tightly, my voice shaking.

"Father... Bao Bao doesn't want to go into the dark room..."

The rain outside the palace gate blew in with the wind, falling on my cheeks, mixing with the faint smell of blood in my mouth. Father did not hand me over. But you can't hug me and rush straight to the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen Mother suddenly fell ill, the Emperor hastily left the main hall. The civil and martial arts officials and the ancestors also stood up and followed, causing the entire main hall to suddenly become a mess. Concubine Y stood on the steps, deliberately lowering her voice.

"Regent, you hold the forbidden army in your hands. If at this time you confront the harem because of a woman whose identity is unknown, then the story of the Queen Mother falling ill from fear will probably spread throughout the capital tomorrow."

Father's lower jaw tightened. This statement is so poisonous. She did not use her power to threaten her father, but instead wanted to put a hat of filial piety and disobedience on his head. Khuong Nhuoc Phu covered her face and cried even more pitifully.

"This slave is willing to go with her to the auxiliary room to wait for investigation. If she is truly a noble person, I will let the Royal Family handle it. But if at this time the Royal Family is determined to take her away, then even if the slave dies, it will not be possible to wash away the injustice of being oppressed by power."

While crying, she repeatedly banged her head on the ground until she bled. The eyes of the surrounding palace servants looking at her also gradually changed. It was as if I wasn't the one being beaten. The one being humiliated is not me. In his father's heart, the sound of joints tightening and cracking was heard. I gently held your finger.

"Father, go visit your ancestors."

The Queen Mother loves me very much. Every year when Tet Doan Ngo comes, we will reserve honey cake for us. I'm afraid of dark rooms. But I'm still afraid that my ancestors will be in pain without anyone else to comfort them. Father bowed his head and looked at me. I tried to hold back the tears, but half of my face was in so much pain that I couldn't help but have to take a gulp of cold air.

"Bao Bao wait obediently."

The person moved his lips, but could not say another word. A moment later, his father called the bodyguard who always accompanied him, Ta Van Chu, to come.

"Guard the District... guard her. Whoever dares to touch her, cut off that person's hand."

As soon as the word "District" was uttered, his father swallowed it back. Concubine Y stared at you, as if waiting for you to tell me your identity. But father didn't say anything. We know why. Before my mother passed away, I begged my father not to let me get caught up in the royal family's competition for fame and fortune. My name is written in the message. The title decree is also kept in the Queen Mother's palace. But over the years, I have never shown myself in front of outsiders. In the capital, everyone only knew that the Regent Prince had a daughter with a weak body and many illnesses, who was raised in a private mansion, without contact with outsiders. No one knows her name is Tham Tri Hanh. No one knew, today she was wearing a pastel peach dress, sitting in the Regent's position, obediently waiting for her father to return. The auxiliary room located behind the main hall where the banquet was held had a piece of paper torn off one corner of the window. Each drizzle of rain drifted in with the tilted wind. Ta Van Chu stood guard outside the door. Two ghosts stood guard inside the room. Khuong Nhuoc Phu also followed in. As soon as the door closed, the tears on her face immediately disappeared.

"You're really good at pretending."

She walked in front of me and squatted down. Ta Van Chu coldly shouted:

"Stay away from me lady."

Khuong Nhuoc Phu smiled softly.

"Guard Xie, I ordered the noble lady to look after the suspect. If she is truly a noble, then why are you so anxious?"

She suddenly raised her hand and pressed hard on the swollen half of my face. The pain seemed to explode, I immediately screamed. Ta Van Chu banged on the door. The two ghosts immediately stepped forward to block the door.

"The female official is checking the wound, the guards are not allowed to arbitrarily barge into the female family's room!"

Khuong Nhuoc Phu leaned close to my ear, lowered his voice and said:

"Your father doesn't dare recognize you in front of everyone, right?"

I cried so much that my whole body shook. She smiled even more softly.

"So try to guess, will you offend the Noble Consort, the Queen Mother, or the entire dynasty because of a stupid daughter?"
