Chapter 5 — In front of the Great Hall, I suddenly changed the person chosen to be my son-in-law

My eyes light up.

"The Queen's Thien Thu banquet... was very good."

Is there any gift that would make her more awkward than exposing the bad news of her beloved grandchild right on her birthday party? I will give her a "great gift" that she will never forget for the rest of her life.

"Okay, it's decided that the Queen's Thien Thu banquet."

"During these five days, you must collect all the evidence."

"Our plan absolutely cannot allow any errors."

Nhuoc Lan was ordered to retreat. The main hall returned to silence. I walked to the window, looking up at the sky outside the palace wall. In my previous life, this palace wall was a cage that imprisoned me. In this life, it will become my chess board. And everyone who has ever hurt me... Will become my pawns. At that moment, a little eunuch walked in.

"Your Highness, the guard of the General's residence brought an item."

He presented a small, rustic, unattractive wooden box. I was a bit stunned. Open the box. Inside lies a small wooden bird sculpted lifelike. The carving technique is still a bit clumsy, but it can be seen that the carver put a lot of effort into it. Below the wooden bird was pressed a small piece of paper. The handwriting is strong and sturdy, but a bit crooked, as if the writer did not hold the pen often. There is only one sentence on it.

"The kite you want."

My heart suddenly missed a beat. It's Giang Ham Diep. I remember the day Wei Dien missed his appointment to fly a kite, I was very angry. Perhaps those complaints were told to him by bullets. That clumsy, stupid man... actually took it to heart and personally carved a wooden bird to cheer me up. I gently held the wooden bird in the palm of my hand. Warm, rustic but solid feeling. Exactly like him, not good at speaking but sincere and worthy of others' trust. The bullets appeared again, this time carrying some sweetness. 【The general has been carving all night long! His hand was even cut!】 【He was afraid that the Princess would be unhappy, so he thought of every possible way, just hoping he could make her smile.】 【Princess, our general is both pure and sincere, you must treat him well!】 A gentle smile suddenly appeared on my face. I carefully placed the wooden bird on the dressing table. This is the first gift he gave me. I will keep it carefully. The determination in our hearts becomes even more steadfast. For myself, and also for that foolish man who is devoted to me. We must win this battle. I took out pen and paper. Start carefully calculating each step in Thien Thu Banquet. Every step, every detail, mistakes are not allowed. I want to personally direct a good play. One scene was enough to make Wei Dien and the Prime Minister's palace forever dissatisfied. Your good days have come to an end. Five days have passed in a flash. But the situation in the capital quietly changed. All over the streets, rumors began to spread about Tran Quoc general Giang Ham Diep. Said he came from the military, had a violent personality, and killed people like crazy. Said he had spent many years on the frontier, living in the woods, no different from a forest man. There are still people It is said that he carries a murderous aura that will kill those around him. The spearhead of those rumors is pointed straight at me, the Princess who is about to marry you. I sat in the palace, listening to Nhuoc Lan recount every rumor she had collected, just smiling slightly.

"Is it the mother-in-law's autograph?"

Besides her, no one else dared to blatantly defame a general appointed by the Emperor himself like that.

"Your Highness, the rumors are indeed spreading from the harem. Young Master Wei also secretly sent someone to add more salt."

Nhuoc Lan was angry and dissatisfied.

"They are really too much!"

I calmly pushed the lid of the tea cup.

"Just let them talk."

"The harder they dance, the more painful it will be when they fall down."

My eyes stopped on a file placed on the table. That was the result of the investigation that Nhuoc Lan had spent many days losing sleep to get. Everything related to Lieu Khanh Khanh is fully recorded there. She came from a poor background, was sold into a castle, and relied on her beauty and dancing talent to become a beauty. She was arrogant and arrogant and unwilling to be a prostitute.
