Chapter 12 — Kieu Hoa Was Switched By Her Fiance, I Married The Crown Prince, He Completely Collapsed

Using him as the leader of the new forbidden army to protect the safety of the Emperor, no matter who it was, no mistake could be found. This move is truly too high-handed. Not only could it send my brother back safely to the capital, but it could also place an armed force absolutely loyal to him under the Third Prince's eyelids.

“But…” I still have concerns. "Such a big matter, the Third Prince and the others will absolutely not let it go. At court, they will definitely risk their lives to protest."

“Of course they will object.” Tieu Hanh smiled, that smile carried a trace of cunning and predatory instinct. “But I have prepared a big gift for them.”

He held a file on the case and gave it to me. I opened it and my pupils immediately contracted. Inside is clearly a record of Captain Tuan Phong Camp colluding with bandits outside the city to embezzle military provisions. The evidence is authentic, every item is terrifying.

"This gift, I told Tran Ngu Su to give it at the most appropriate time."

Tieu Hanh looked at me and said slowly.

"An illegal embezzlement and illegal Guard Commander, a defenseless Commander Kim Ngo. In your father's eyes, which side has more weight?"

I took in a cold breath. Each circle is connected to each other, each step has a prepared battle position. From the moment I stepped into the Eastern Palace, I'm afraid everything was within his calculations. This man is like a dense net with no bottom visible. But I am willing to become a part of his network.

“I understand.” We close the file. “Then let's wait for good news at court tomorrow morning.”

Tieu Hanh shook his head.

“No, not us.”

He looked at me, his eyes deep.

“It's her.”

“What do you mean, Your Highness?” I'm a little confused.

"The chapter requesting the restoration of the Vu Lam Guard will be written by you. Early tomorrow morning, in the name of the Crown Princess, you will personally come to the palace gate to present it to your father."

I was stunned.

“Because she is the daughter of the Tham family.” Tieu Hanh slowly said each word. "For her to stand up and ask for her elder brother's sake is filial piety. For her, as the Crown Princess, to stand up and take care of her father's safety, that is filial piety."

“In terms of both emotion and reason, no one will be able to refute it.”

“And you…” He laughed softly to himself. "You are just an invalid Crown Prince who is sick all year round, stuck in a hospital bed. If this comes out from your mouth, it will become a plot to usurp power."

I quietly looked at him, my mind filled with chaos. He pushed all the glory and fame towards me. As for himself, he stood quietly behind the curtain, bearing all the dangers and suspicions alone.

"Okay." I didn't ask any more questions, just reached out to receive the pen and ink he gave me.

That night, I stayed awake. Under Tieu Hanh's guidance, I completed the chapter. Every sentence and every word is filled with the sincerity of a daughter-in-law, as well as the earnest heart of a sister. As soon as it was dawn, I changed into court clothes, carried the medal, and headed towards the main gate of the royal palace. Tieu Hanh put on his cloak and stood in front of the palace door to see me off. The cold morning wind gently blew up the hem of his shirt, making his figure look like a lonely pine tree. At any time, it can be overwhelmed by wind and snow.

“Go away.” He nodded slightly at me. “Remember, you are not alone.”

A warm current suddenly arose in my heart. I bowed slightly and bowed to him, then turned around and got into the carriage. The carriage slowly rolled away from the Eastern Palace. I know, from today, this game will be in my hands. But the seemingly calm water surface of the capital was about to be completely stirred up. In front of the palace gate, civil and military mandarins stood solemnly waiting. When my phoenix appeared, everyone looked over at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise. The Crown Princess was not allowed to go to court. I didn't pay attention to those judgmental looks, I just walked straight to the front of the line, waiting quietly. Not long after, the palace gate opened wide. The officials entered one after another. When Third Prince Tieu Canh passed by my side, his steps slightly stopped. He tilted his head and looked over, a fake smile on his face.

“Today, my sister-in-law is truly a rare guest.”

“Your Third Highness.”

I nodded slightly, my expression calm.

"I wonder why the Royal Sister-in-law is not at the Eastern Palace dedicated to serving my sick Royal Brother, so why did she come to this court?" In his words, he did not hide the sarcasm.

“For national affairs, also for family matters.”

I looked at him and replied calmly.
