Chapter 18 — I Thought I Was A Serious Person, But I Didn't Know That's Not The Truth

"Father, speaking of it, this Ta Thuy An is still your half-brother, I should call him royal uncle!"

Ly Truong Diep sprinkled a handful of salt on Ta Thuy An's wound. He smiled and teased: "No wonder in the past, Lieu Thi's mother's family suspected that Ta Thuy An was not Lieu Thi's biological child. When she came to the capital to cause trouble, the Royal Grandmother also passed a special edict to tell Ta Thuy An to inherit the title."

"No wonder Grandmother Hoang wanted to preserve Ta Thuy An's reputation, using the pen of imperial history to transfer the credit for saving aid and suppressing the bandits of the Eastern Palace completely to Ta Thuy An."

"And even planning a marriage with the Ha family for Ta Thuy An, wanting to rely on the marriage to attract the writer to Ta Thuy An, each and every one of these things is deeply planned by Grandmother Hoang who loves me for her sake!"

The Crown Prince maliciously asked a question: "Father, when you inherited the throne in the past, did your great-grandmother ever plot such a plan for you?" Emperor Vinh Canh's face was extremely gloomy - when he was born in the past, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the previous emperor was the most tense. Later, the Empress Dowager angrily left the palace to practice. Emperor Vinh Canh became even more estranged, and being able to ascend the throne was all due to his every step of struggle. Ever since Emperor Vinh Canh ascended the throne, he has always been respectful and filial to the Queen Mother. He absolutely did not expect that the Queen Mother would be able to plant her illegitimate child under his eyes, and even trample on his son for the sake of this little child to attract power and inflate his reputation. The Queen Mother has been plotting for many years, so that Ta Thuy An can inherit the Emperor's throne in advance, and in the future, kill the Crown Prince to usurp the throne. Vinh Canh De closed his eyes and sighed. Even though he was an Emperor who owned the world, admitting that his mother did not love him that much was still a painful and difficult matter. He was extremely tired and asked: "Mother, do you have anything else to say?" The Queen Mother saw that the Crown Prince had prepared carefully, saying more was useless, she only said one sentence:

"Your father can have three palaces and six courtyards, many children and grandchildren. I only raised Ta Hoanh as a male pet and had a child with him. Compared to your father, I can still be considered faithful to him. What is wrong with this palace?"

"Okay, well said."

Vinh Canh De angrily said: "Mother is not wrong, wrong is that traitor Ta Hoanh seduced mother! Wrong is that bastard Ta Thuy An wants the sparrow to take over the crow's nest! Where are you!!"

"Pull down this pair of adulterous women, five horses will be torn to pieces! Five horses will be torn to pieces!!!"

The Royal Army rushed out. Ta Thuy An saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled out a soft knife from his waist, the blade slid directly towards the Queen Mother's neck, who was shielding in front of him: "Whoever dares to move, I will kill the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother was shocked: "An Nhi, I am your mother!"

"What the hell! They all came out of a human's belly, why is there someone who can rightly claim to be the Emperor, but I can only patiently endure being a subordinate? Do you know how much anger and humiliation I have in my heart every day kneeling to this bastard Emperor! Kneeling to him alone is enough, even his son dares to show off his power in front of me!"

Ta Thuy An looked resentfully at Ly Truong Diep. He knew that his biological father could not compare to his predecessor. In fact, he even had the right to hate Vinh Canh. There is no Emperor, not to mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with an orthodox background and perfect bloodline. But he was not willing: "That day on Ngoc Tuyen Mountain, I saw with my own eyes the Crown Prince and my fiancee colluding in the cave. How can you tell me not to hate!?" The child in my belly and I were both shocked: "What did you say!" Ta Thuy An looked at me with sadness and anger: "Ha Linh Thu, do you think that I proposed to you just to attract the power of your Ha family? No, for you, I have reserved some sincere feelings! After all, among the ladies of this capital, the one who can match me is only you."

"But how did you treat me? You ruined my only chance to assassinate the Crown Prince. When you and he had sex in the cave, did you ever think about my feelings!"

That vague memory at this moment is extremely clear, reflected in my mind. The assassin that assassinated the Crown Prince that day was sent by Ta Thuy An. Ta Thuy An used a deer to lure the Crown Prince into a trap. When the assassins attacked, neither Co Thieu Vu nor To Ngat were by the Crown Prince's side.
