Chapter 7 — Impurity Under My Shadow

“Mother, do you recognize this word?” Trieu trembled. “I don't recognize.” She denied too quickly. The Queen Mother also looked at her. "Mrs. Vinh Ninh Hau, just now you were blocking the outside of the heavenly palace. When the Buddha pearl was about to be removed, you panicked." "Now that you see this word, you are afraid of becoming like that." "You'd better think carefully before answering." Mrs. Trieu's lips turned white. "Your father is only scared by evil things." The Queen Mother smiled coldly. "Whoever has lived until today, hates people the most when they hide the truth under their tongue." Mrs. Trieu prostrated and bowed. "Niang Minh Giam, my father really doesn't know." I walked up to her. "Then why does mother know that my Buddha pearl cannot be removed?" Trieu raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes were full of resentment. As if I was the one who pushed her into a desperate situation. "What are you, don't you know?" The palace was silent again. Luc Hoai Canh's face changed. "Mother!" Trieu finally couldn't bear it anymore. She pointed at me, her voice sharp. "When you were three years old, your hands were covered in blood, how many living things did the Tham family's backyard die?" "If it wasn't for the compassionate Master Lieu Tran who used the Buddha pearl to lock you up, you would have been a disaster." "I married you into the Marquis Palace, worshiping Buddha day and night, chanting sutras night and day, isn't it to preserve the entire Luc family?" I calmly listened. She had never said these words in front of everyone before. Because she still has to maintain her gentle motherly face. Now the skin on his face has been torn off, inside is indeed a rotten fear. The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes. "Marrying into the Marquis Palace?" She heard something wrong. "Lady Vinh Ninh Marquis, wasn't the Tham family's request for the marriage that year?" Trieu's throat choked. Luc Hoai Canh was also stunned. I looked at him. "Master Marquis doesn't know?" Luc Hoai Canh's face was ugly. "Know what?" Thi Trieu pursed her lips. The Queen Mother waved her hand. "Bring Mrs. Vinh Ninh Hau down." Trieu was frightened. "Your Highness!" The Queen Mother's voice was calm. "I haven't said anything to kill you yet, just let you think clearly." The guard stepped forward. As Trieu Thi struggled, an old golden talisman suddenly fell out of her sleeve. The golden amulet is rolled into small threads, the edges are very worn. The old mother picked it up and looked at it, her face suddenly changed. "Niang Niang, it's the Soul Suppression Talisman of Tran Quoc Temple." The Queen Mother's eyes became even colder. "Mrs. Vinh Ninh Hau, you are a woman in the Marquis Palace, why do you have this on you?" Trieu did not dare to answer. I look at that talisman. The smell of cinnabar is very faint, but has the same scent as the banknotes on the window sill. I suddenly understood. "There's a babysitter watching over you." Trieu raised her head to look at me, panic flashing in her eyes. I said softly: "That person also told you that as long as you wear the Buddha pearl, nothing will happen to you." "But once the Buddha pearl leaves your body, the one who will have trouble is not you." "It's you." Trieu Thi's whole body stiffened. The Queen Mother slowly stood up. "It seems that someone specially prepared this feast for someone." She looked at the old mother. "Seal the palace gate, search the Department of Medicine." The old mother immediately received the order. Luc Hoai Canh suddenly opened his mouth. "The Queen Mother, Chi Lan is frightened, I want to take her out of the palace first." The Queen Mother glanced at him. "Who else do you think can leave the palace at will today?" Luc Hoai Canh choked. Tiet Chi Lan leaned weakly in his arms, then suddenly tightened her grip on his sleeve. "Brother Hoai Canh, I'm scared." As she pulled, half a piece of broken jade fell out from the sleeve. Everyone in the palace saw it. That's the remaining half of the jade brooch I broke last night. I looked at Luc Hoai Canh. Luc Hoai Canh's face suddenly changed. "I didn't put it in." Tiet Chi Lan was even more panicked. "I didn't take your things!" But on half of that piece of broken jade, there was a thread of gray energy that was darker than Kim Bo Dieu. It glued to the fracture of

jade, like a gray eye opening. I reached out to pick up the broken piece of jade. Just as his fingertips touched the jade surface, a very soft female voice suddenly rang out in his ear. "Chieu Vi." My whole body stiffened. That voice was gentle but distant. As if passing through a snowy night twenty years ago, it came from deep inside the old Tham family house. "My mother is waiting for you at the Thuong Y Department."09I have not remembered my mother's voice for a long time. When she died, I was only three years old. Everyone else said I was too young and couldn't remember her. But they don't know, there are some sounds that don't register in their ears. Which is engraved in the bones. The Queen Mother saw that my expression was wrong. "Miss Shen, what did you hear?" I squeezed that half piece of broken jade tightly. "Someone told me to go to the Thuong Y Department." The old mother said in a low voice: "Niang Niang, the Thuong Y Department has just appeared in the Fragrance of the Heart, I'm afraid it's not okay to go there at this time." The Queen Mother looked at me again. "Do you think we should go?" I lowered my head to look at the Buddha necklace around my neck. Buddha is still hot. But in the heat this time mixed with a very small pain. Like a cage, someone knocks on me from the outside. I said: "You should go." The Queen Mother nodded. "Grandpa Ai is coming with you." The old mother panicked. "Your Majesty's body is ten thousand gold!"
