Chapter 16 — In rebirth, I stole the merit to save the princess, I turned around to save the prince

Some people accused the Crown Prince of secretly training soldiers and even colluding with the enemy to treason. The Emperor immediately sent people to the Eastern Palace to search. Not only were they found correspondence between the Crown Prince and the enemy country and tokens of the enemy's generals, but they also discovered a list of records of the Crown Prince's bribery over the years. It clearly records every case of embezzlement and official trading between the Crown Prince and the Cao family in recent years. The Emperor became angry and immediately issued an order to depose the Crown Prince. The queen asked for love, so she was also imprisoned at The Ngo palace. The entire Cao family was thrown into prison, waiting to be beheaded after the fall. Not only that, Seventh Princess, because she is the true owner of the Drunk Red Chamber, forces innocent people to become prostitutes, an unforgivable crime. The people were indignant, and in order to reassure the people, the Emperor ordered her to be stripped of her title and imprisoned for life in the Princess' palace. Along with that, many descendants of noble families were also prosecuted. When I came to see Tham Van Nhu, she was lying on the bed, her whole body looked like a dry tree about to rot, with bloody wounds all over her body. The doctor said that she was injured too seriously, the baby in her belly could not be kept, and that she would not be able to have children in her entire life. Now she no longer has the same radiant and beautiful appearance as before. As soon as she saw me, Tham Van Nhu immediately became extremely excited. She struggled to get up and wanted to hit me, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Tham Thinh Truc, you still dare to come here! It's all because you hurt me! You scoundrel, you will not die properly!"

I quietly looked at Tham Van Nhu in the appearance of a person not quite human, a ghost not more than a ghost. Having come to this point, she still doesn't feel guilty at all, on the contrary, she blames all her mistakes on me.

"Sister, what does this have to do with me? Isn't it all about you sowing the wind and reaping the storm?"

She aggressively spat at me.

"It's you! It's you who harmed me! You know how the falcon catches chicks, are you also reincarnated? If so, why didn't you stop me? Why did you let me save the Princess? You bastard, you are truly cruel to the extreme!"

I burst out laughing. Laughing for a while, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. I looked at Tham Van Nhu with eyes full of pity.

"I don't know what rebirth is. If it is, what if it isn't? Isn't it all the path you chose for yourself, the decision you made yourself? Why do you always like to blame yourself on others?"

"Sister, look at your current appearance, do you still look like a human? Instead of blaming me, you should blame the Princess. The real ringleader is still safe and sound in the Princess's palace. Don't you want revenge?"

Hearing that, Tham Van Nhu was so angry that his chest rose and fell continuously. Her eyes were filled with resentment. She glared at me and asked:

“How should I take revenge?”

I smiled, looking at her meaningfully. The night of two days later, a fierce fire broke out at the Princess Palace. The fire burned skyward. By the time everyone had extinguished the fire, the Princess' palace had already burned into a pile of ruins. Someone found the body of Her Highness the Princess in a pile of ashes ruined. The body was burned to the point where its shape was no longer recognizable, one hand was still clutching the sleeve of a palace maid. Some people say that that night the Princess accidentally knocked over the candlestick, causing a fire. The princess and the other maid were trapped in a sea of fire, unable to escape, and in the end both were burned to death. But in the end, no one knows the truth. Now the Crown Prince has been deposed, the Queen has lost power, the Princess has also died, it seems like everything is over. A few months later, Ly Lan Hac was ordained as Crown Prince. One afternoon, I went to say goodbye to him. I should go back to Van district to find my mother, I miss her very much. Ly Lan Hac slightly lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, then asked:

“How do you know that the Crown Prince's things are hidden in the Drunk Red Lau?”

“And how do we know that Drunk Red Lau still has a fourth floor?”

Before, he also suspected Drunk Red Lau, but from beginning to end he still could not discover the secret of that place.
