Chapter 8 — Instead of Marrying His Wife, 7 Years of Supporting Him to the Throne, In Exchange for a Cup of Poisoned Wine

This sentence brings everything back to the Crown Prince's recovery. No matter how many thoughts everyone still has in their hearts, it is not convenient to say anything more. But I know. As long as today's story gets out, Tham Minh Chieu's reputation will be completely ruined. A noble lady once criticized the Crown Prince for being weak and refusing to marry. After that, he ran to the Eastern Palace crying and demanding to compete for the throne. Later in the capital, no family would dare to marry her. In her previous life, she stepped on me to climb higher. In this life, I will first cut off half of her future. This, however, is just interest. The days in the Eastern Palace were even more favorable than we thought. Although Ta Hanh is cold, he can do what he says. If you let me become the Crown Princess, there will be no lack of dignity on my face. He handed over the management of Eastern Palace internal affairs to me. Also tacitly allowing me to place my mother and younger brother in peace in the private courtyard under the name of the Eastern Palace. This means — From now on, the Marquis can no longer grasp my weaknesses. But once there is nothing left to be afraid of. When we work, we get faster. Half a month later, a scandal that was not too big or small suddenly spread in the capital - the department of the Marquis of Truong Ninh Palace was in deficit. The foreign court administrator Chu Quan (Chu administrator Chu) stole silver and silk and ran to the casino at night to raise capital. Not just losing. I also had my leg broken by someone from the casino right on the street. When this news spread, I was testing medicine for Ta Hanh. After taking the medicine, he gently asked a question:

“You sent someone to do it?”

I put the medicine cup aside and calmly said:

“Same as that.”

I actually don't do much. It was just "accidentally" that the fake books he had created, along with the money he secretly withdrew from the warehouse, fell into the hands of those who wanted to find the Marquis's weakness. Conveniently, it also revealed that he had taken the government's money to pay off debt at the casino. As long as these two matters are exposed, Chu Toan will naturally have no way back. The Marquis will not keep him. The creditor will not forgive him. A person who has lost his support and is still in debt to the casino, the outcome is already predetermined. And that night his leg was broken on the street, but that was just the price to pay when a gambler lost everything but still wanted to recover his capital. I'm just pushing a door. The person who really entered the dead end was himself. Mothers value face the most. Father paid the most attention to the reputation of the Marquis Palace. Now the books are being turned over, the dowry, the treasury, and the money are being secretly transferred, and things that cannot be brought to light are being dug up one by one. Enough to confuse them for a long time. Ta Hanh looked at me and suddenly said:

“You attacked the Tham family, it was truly cruel enough.”

I raised my eyes to look at him.

“Your Highness, do you think I did something wrong?”

His voice was calm.

“I just feel like I underestimated you before.”

I smiled slightly and did not answer. Of course he underestimated it. In my previous life, I was not cruel. It's just that we always consider those people as family. Still foolishly waiting for them to turn around. Now there is no more that ridiculous hope. The blade, naturally, has also been sharpened. Ta Hanh looked at me and suddenly asked:

“Are you really not heartbroken at all?”

The movements in my hand stopped slightly. Heartbroken? In fact, when I first came back from rebirth, I was also heartbroken. Why does it hurt? I was so stupid before. It hurts because it's clearly a loved one, but it can force us to take that step. But that pain. The very night I stepped out of the Marquis Palace. More than half has been blown away by the wind. I bowed my head and placed the medicine cup on the tray, my voice very light.

“Your Highness, if a person has been stabbed to death by the same blade once, then the second time they see that blade, the only thing they will think about is how to break it.”

Ta Hanh was silent for a moment. I thought he was going to say something, but in the end he just replied softly:

“Very well said.”

In that moment, I suddenly felt a bit ironic. In my previous life, I spent all my thoughts, just hoping he would look at me one more time, hoping he would like me a little more, respect me a little more, pity me a little more. But now I no longer love him, on the contrary, I seem to be catching his eye even more. It's a man. Men are indeed like that, what they don't have is what they care about even more. After winter, Ta Hanh's illness became worse again. In my previous life, it was this winter that I truly entered his circle of confidants. At that time, he had a high fever that wouldn't go away, and the royal physician was at a loss, just as the Third Prince took the opportunity to continuously act in the court, causing turmoil inside and outside the Eastern Palace.
