Chapter 4 — I Replaced My Sister In The Recruitment Palace, But She Didn't Know That The Queen Was My Sister

The very next second. Inside, there was the sound of a tea cup falling and shattering. In Tru Tu Palace, everyone knelt down on the ground at the same time.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me!”

Ta Phu Loan did not speak at all. The palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the broken pieces of porcelain. I kept my head bowed and quietly heard her stand up. The beaded curtains were pushed aside. A pair of phoenix shoes embroidered with gold thread stopped right in front of me. She looked at me for a long time. It had been so long that even Aunt Phung began to feel uneasy.

“Your highness?”

Only then did Ta Phu Loan slowly open his mouth.

"This palace looks at this Miss Lam... she feels very familiar."

I gently lowered my eyes.

“The goddess was frightened.”

Thanh Ha almost raised her head. She completely did not expect me to open my mouth to speak. His voice was clear and coherent, without any hint of hoarseness. Even Miss Phung was stunned.

“Isn't Miss Lam's throat not feeling well?”

I calmly replied:

“It's just gone.”

Ta Phu Loan quietly looked at me. I heard her take a very light breath. She recognized me. But she did not immediately reveal my identity. She just turned around and slowly returned to sit on the chair.

“Lam Thanh Nguyet stays.”

“The rest of you retreat.”

Hua Minh Suong's face changed slightly. Khuong Dung looked at me with pity and then followed everyone out. The main hall door slowly closed. Ta Phu Loan let all the servants leave, leaving only aunt Phung and the closest palace maid next to her, To Van. Ms. Phung bowed her head, her face tense. Ta Phu Loan asked:

“Who are you anyway?”

I kneel down.

“Disciple of Medicine King Coc, Lam Chieu Ninh.”

Ta Phu Loan's hand suddenly tightened on the chair armrest.

“Lin Zhaoning?”

Even her voice changed.

“You... are you still alive?”

I raised my head to look at her. Ta Phu Loan's eyes immediately turned red. Phung aunt raised her head in surprise. Even To Man stood there stunned. Ta Phu Loan quickly walked down the steps, supporting me with one hand.

“Who let you kneel?”

I smiled.

“Within strict rules.”

Her eyes were red, but her tone was full of blame.

“Do you still know the rules?”

“That year when we said goodbye to Medicine King Valley, for ten years there was no news.”

“I once sent someone to the Lam family to inquire, Mrs. Chu said that you were recuperating in the countryside and did not see outsiders.”

“So they raised me like this?”

Her eyes fell on the palace outfit on her body.

"They still forced me to impersonate Lam Thanh Nguyet to enter the palace to select the elite?"

"That's right."

Ta Phu Loan's face completely turned cold. She turned to look at aunt Phung.

“Whose hands did the list of Chu Xiu palace pass through today?”

Ms. Phung immediately knelt down.

"Returning to your majesty, after the Ministry of Rites sent the list, this servant checked each person according to the rules."

"It's just that Miss Lam's appearance is a little different from the picture. I originally intended to report it."

Ta Phu Loan asked:

“Why didn't you report?”

Miss Phung's face turned pale.

"Last night, someone passed on the news, saying that Miss Lam's identity was completely flawless, just let it go."

Phung aunt clenched her teeth.

“An aunt is next to Concubine Thuc Lady.”

My heart moved slightly. To Van Nghi. She is the Emperor's most favored concubine in the harem, second only to the Queen. Ta Phu Loan laughed coldly.

“Her arms are really long enough.”

I asked:

“Sister, why does Concubine Thuc want to keep you?”

Ta Phu Loan looked at me.

“I'm not Lam Thanh Nguyet.”

"But the person she wants to keep, I'm afraid is Lam Thanh Nguyet."

I immediately understood. Behind Lam Thanh Nguyet is the Chu family. The Chu family has recently been very close to the To family, Thuc Phi's mother. If Lam Thanh Nguyet really enters the palace, it is very likely that she will become Thuc Phi's daughter. But at the last moment, Chu Thi and Lam Thanh Nguyet changed people. Concubine Thuc may not have known about it. So in an unexpected coincidence. The person who was kept in the palace turned into me. Ta Phu Loan looked at me attentively.

“Do you want to leave the palace?”

She breathed a sigh of relief.

“This palace will make arrangements immediately.”
