Chapter 5 — Instead of Marrying His Wife, 7 Years of Supporting Him to the Throne, In Exchange for a Cup of Poisoned Wine

"If tomorrow the person on the palanquin is not the eldest daughter, I hope your highness will not blame you. The Tham family has the intention of changing someone to replace the bride. I'm afraid there will be changes in the position of the Crown Princess."

After writing, let's add another sentence:

“If your highness doesn't want to be humiliated, you can send someone to investigate tonight.”

I looked at those words for a long time, but in the end I still didn't sign my name. Ta Hanh is a smart person. If he saw it, he would naturally understand. If he doesn't believe it, that's his fate. Waiting for the ink to dry, I folded the letter and handed it to Xuan Hanh.

"Tell A Thanh to go along the outside alley, bring this envelope to the door of the East Palace, stuff it in the housekeeper's doorkeeper and immediately leave, don't let anyone else see it."

Xuan Hanh's hand trembled, but seeing my determined expression, she still accepted it in the end. After completing those tasks, I slowly leaned back in the chair. In my previous life, I was pushed into a dead end step by step. In this life, I have to act first. If the Marquis wants to use me to fill the hole, then I will take that hole and open it up for the East Palace to see first. That night, the Marquis Palace was almost never quiet. The front yard was lit until midnight, obviously father and mother were still negotiating how to force me to bow my head. But my institute is rarely so quiet. Thanh Le and Xuan Hanh were both so worried that they couldn't sleep, while I leaned on the couch, on the contrary, calmer than at any time since my rebirth. Because we know, as soon as the letter is sent, the situation will begin to change. I just don't know if Ta Hanh will take action or not. In my previous life, I always felt that he was very sick, so weak that it seemed like even a gust of wind could make him fall. But later, he was able to step on many people to ascend to the throne, which was enough to prove that he was never as harmless as he appeared. I closed my eyes, and countless fragments of memories from my previous life continuously appeared in my mind. For example, not long after we got married, the first time I made medicine for him, he looked at my face being reddened by the smoke, and suddenly said in a low voice:

“There's no need to do these things.”

For example, after I took an arrow for him and woke up, he sat by the bed guarding me all night, but the next day it was as if nothing had happened, only leisurely asking me if I was still in pain. For example, before he ascended the throne, he clearly began to intentionally keep a distance from me, but on a winter night he still gave me his cloak once. At that time, I always thought that it was like. Later I understood, perhaps it was just a rare bit of guilt on his part. I don't know how much time passed when suddenly there was a series of urgent footsteps outside. Thanh Le quickly pushed the door open and walked in, her voice trembling.

"Fourth Miss! Something happened in the front yard... in the front yard!"

I immediately sat up.

“The Eastern Palace people are here!”

My heart twitched slightly. I put on my coat and quickly walked towards the front yard. Before entering the door, I heard my father's voice trying to stay calm coming from inside.

"Your Highness sent someone here late at night. I wonder what the instructions are?"

Right after that, a somewhat gentle domestic voice slowly rang out.

"The Marquis has been very polite. This servant, following His Highness the Crown Prince's orders, has come to invite the two ladies in the palace to come out and meet him."

I stood in the hallway, opening the curtain Walking in, I often saw a eunuch wearing a dark blue palace uniform sitting in the chair, holding a cup of tea, a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. That is the great eunuch close to Ta Hanh and Phuc Thuan. In my previous life, I met him many times. Tham Minh Chieu was also called. At this time, his face turned pale, and he forgot to even cry. Phuc Thuan saw me walk in, his eyes glanced between me and her, the smile on his lips became deeper.

“Master Marquis, Madam, are these the two ladies of your palace?”

His father's face was ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and replied:

“That's right.”

Phuc Thuan slowly put down the tea cup, smiled and said:

"Today, His Highness felt a little unwell. In his dream, he saw a red chef with two happy eyes. When he woke up, he felt uneasy in his heart, so he sent a servant to see the future Crown Princess. After all, the Eastern Palace marriage matter is also related to the country, there cannot be half a mistake."

As soon as these words fell, the expressions of several people in the room changed. The so-called insecurity in dreams is just an excuse. Ta Hanh obviously read the letter and believed it, so he immediately sent someone to check on the spot. Mother reluctantly forced a smile.

"Your Highness is joking, the Crown Princess is of course our Minh Chieu."

Phuc Thuan raised his eyebrows.

“But why did I hear that the person who will be carrying the palanquin tomorrow may not be who it is.”

The room was immediately silent as death. His father's forehead was beaded with sweat. I stood to the side, lowered my eyes, but my heart calmed down little by little. Ta Hanh indeed took action. He doesn't care who the future Crown Princess will be, but he absolutely will not allow anyone to dare to play tricks on him and make the Eastern Palace a laughing stock. Tham Minh Chieu finally couldn't stand it anymore, he knelt down with a "thump" sound, crying and saying:

"Just judge! My goddess... I don't mean to be arrogant, I'm just... my body is not strong, I'm suddenly confused..."

Phuc Thuan looked at her, his eyes filled with a cold smile:

"Miss said the words "I'm not feeling well" sounded so gentle."

“But if you're really sick, you should report to the palace early, instead of waiting until the big wedding tomorrow is near to cause trouble.

"Miss, where do you think the Eastern Palace is? Let the Marquis people choose and choose as they please?"

Father and mother simultaneously changed color and immediately knelt down. The mother kept saying:

"Please calm down your anger. It's all because my father didn't teach me strictly."

Phuc Thuan didn't look at them anymore, just turned his eyes to me.

“Four ladies, what do you mean?”
