Chapter 7 — In my previous life, I fought for three generations of queens, but in this life I just want to eat my fill

“Hot water, guaranteed to have it immediately.”

“Then thank you, Cong Ly.”

I smiled and said thank you, chatted a few more words with the chefs, then leisurely led Xuan Dao away. As soon as she stepped out of Ngu Thien Room, Xuan Dao looked at me with eyes full of admiration:

“Young master, you are truly amazing.”

“Just a few packages of pork rinds and the problem is already solved.”

"It's easy to meet the King of Hell, but it's the little devil that's difficult to deal with."

I patted her head gently, "For the person below, sometimes giving a little sweetness is more useful than showing off your masterly appearance." Sure enough, from that day on, Thinh Truc Hien's treatment clearly skyrocketed. The standard portion of delicious food is sufficient and the quantity is large enough to fill you up. Silver charcoal is fully supplied and burns without any smoke. Hot water is available immediately. Even the monthly silver money brought by the Internal Affairs Office is of much better quality. Xuan Dao and Tieu Man were so impressed with me that they were on the edge of their seats. My life of surrender seems to be back on track. Eating, drinking, basking in the sun to keep warm, teaching Xuan Dao and Tieu Man to play a few new games, such as the Ngu Tu Ky version, which simplifies the passing of the days and is considered wasted. It's just that, in my heart, that string is always tight. Dung frequency will not let go. Tieu Dien's attitude is still a mystery. Beneath the seemingly calm water surface, the underground stream has never stopped flowing. That afternoon, I was lying on the chair, covering my face with a phone, dozing off. Xuan Dao rushed in, his face pale.

"Little master. It's not over. Tieu Man... Something happened to Tieu Man."

I suddenly sat up:

"What's going on? Speak slower."

Xuan Dao gasped, her voice trembling as if she was about to cry:

“Tieu Man... Tieu Man was led away by people from the Queen's palace.”

"They said she... said she stole the Queen's red gold phoenix brooch."

My mind feels like it's exploding. In my previous life, the first Queen was overthrown by me, Lieu Nhu Mi. A woman who appears gentle and gentle on the outside, but in reality has a deep heart and cruel tactics. Why did she suddenly attack Tieu Man? The target is obviously me.

"When did it happen? Where were you arrested?"

I forced myself to stay calm.

“Just… just now.”

“In… on the palace road leading to the Laundry Department.”

"Mother Liu, next to the Queen, personally led someone to arrest her."

"It's enough to say that people and exhibits are enough."

The evidence is sufficient. How can there be such a coincidence? Obviously, he was falsely accused of being harmed. Tieu Man had just been rescued by me, was taken to the Laundry Department, and immediately "stole" the Queen's phoenix brooch. Even a fool can see that this is clearly aimed at me. Is it Dung Tan's pen? Or maybe the Queen herself wants to knock me out. Or... the girls have joined forces. I stood up, took a deep breath.

“Xuan Dao, change my clothes.”

“Little master… where do you want to go?”

“Phuong Nghi Palace.”

Phuong Nghi Palace, the Queen's residence. Solemn and quiet, the air is filled with the scent of agarwood and incense. In the main hall, Queen Lieu Nhu Mi sat solemnly on the phoenix throne. She wore bright yellow plain clothes, a simple beaded crown on her head, a dignified and gentle appearance, and a leisurely temperament. Only those eyes, calm and unruffled, could not see half of the emotions. Below stood several concubines. Dung Tan was clearly also present there, covering herself with a handkerchief mouth, eyes carrying a mocking look. Tieu Man was pressed tightly by two strong ghosts, kneeling on the cold tile floor, his whole body trembling, and there were clear traces of the slap on his face. In front of her, on the ground, was a golden phoenix hairpin, sparkling with splendor.

"The Queen's Queen Minh Giam."

“The slave did not steal.”

“There really isn't.”

Tieu Man cried, her voice was hoarse, "I don't know why this brooch appeared on me."

“The unjust slave.”

“Insolent.”

Mother Liu, next to the Queen, sternly scolded, "The evidence is enough, you still dare to deny it."

"This phoenix brooch is a beloved item of the lady, with immense value."

“How could I let a small Laundry Department maid like you dare to touch me?”

“Who orders you?”

Pointy nose, pointed straight at me. When I entered the palace gate, I just happened to hear the whole sentence. All eyes instantly gathered on him. There is ridicule. There are very few worries. More than anything, it's fun to watch.

“The lady has arrived?”
