Chapter 7 — In this life, the Crown Princess will no longer be my sister's turn

"Her safety is in your control."

I clutched the cracked jade block tightly, the cold edges pressed against my palm. For some reason, my chest feels hot.

“My concubine, thank you, Your Highness.”

He nodded slightly. His eyes glanced at the wine cup placed on the table. But didn't touch it at all.

“Calm down soon.”

Leaving only those four words behind, he turned around and left the palace without any hesitation. The door closed very gently. Leaving the room filled with red, along with a cold solitude. I lowered my head and looked at the broken jade in my palm. Prevent disaster? Is it just the layered plots of Lam Thi and Thang Thanh Ngo? Of course, he knew it all. Always know. I removed the red string from my neck and carefully placed the cracked green jade block in a brocade bag. Then, remove the heavy phoenix crown from your head. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she was wearing a gorgeous dress, her eyebrows and eyes were strangely calm. Thang Thanh Ngo. Your debt has not been paid yet. Now, it's our turn to collect the debt. The life of the Crown Princess is quiet to the point of being strange. Trieu Canh Hanh is constantly busy, rarely setting foot in my palace. Between us, it's more like a friendly cooperative relationship. He gave me the honor and protection of the Crown Princess. As for me, I fulfill the role of a calm and dignified Crown Princess, not causing trouble. I borrowed that identity and began to secretly investigate. The clue about the old poison bowl, like a ghost, still clings to me. Lam Thi's days in Thang Phu were no longer pleasant. Thang Thanh Ngo became even more crazy, it was said that he tried to commit suicide several times. They have become the laughing stock of the capital and are unlikely to cause any more trouble. But I still feel that things are not that simple. Behind Lam Thi, there seemed to be someone else. A person who, in his previous life, had never appeared. The opportunity came very quickly. The Queen held a chrysanthemum feast in the palace and generously invited the princes and nobles. As the Crown Princess, of course I have to attend the party. At the banquet, there was a peaceful and cheerful scene. The ladies and noble ladies laughed and chatted, both flattering the Queen and also flattering me sitting below.

“The Crown Princess is tolerant and generous, truly a model for us to follow.”

“That's right, that's right, it's not like the second lady of the Thang family... well, let's not mention it anymore.”

The name Thang Thanh Ngo has become an implicit taboo at this party. I smiled in response, but my eyes quietly scanned the whole school. Then I saw a person. Sitting in a position slightly far from the Queen. A middle-aged woman wearing a dark purple cloak. Between the eyebrows and corners of the eyes, there is some resemblance to Lam Thi! It's just that the temperament is more gloomy and withdrawn. She lowered her eyes and slowly sipped her tea, seemingly lost in the bustling atmosphere around her. My heart suddenly shook strongly. Lam Thi's biological sister! The wife of Lai Bo Thi Lang Tran Kinh, Lam Chi! In my previous life, my impression of this aunt was very faint. I only remember that she rarely came to the Thang family residence, and it seemed that her relationship with Lam Thi was just normal. But at this moment, looking at the starlight occasionally flashing under her half-closed eyelashes, and the hand resting loosely on her knee that seemed to relax but her knuckles were a bit white... A vague idea, like a bolt of lightning, hit her head straight. me! The bowl of poison in my previous life... A woman living in the backyard like Lam Thi, where did she get a poison so dangerous that even silver needles could not be tested? That dead stray cat, why are the symptoms exactly the same as a concubine in the palace who died suddenly in the past? And that kitchen girl bit her tongue and committed suicide... is she really Lam Thi's person? The fragmentary clues, on Lam Chi's seemingly calm face, instantly came together! It's definitely her! Lam Chi's husband, Tran Kinh, is Lai Bo Thi Lang, not a high official, but holds the right to examine officials! The interwoven network of blood vessels! Most importantly, when he was young, Tran Kinh had a period of time working at the Thai hospital! He has the ability, and also the way, to access rare poisons! In her previous life, Lam Thi and her mother were only the ones who directly took action. As for Lam Chi, he is the one planning to hide behind the scenes!
