Chapter 14 — Kieu Hoa Was Switched By Her Fiance, I Married The Crown Prince, He Completely Collapsed

His fingers gently tapped the armrest. Every beat again. Every knock sounds like it hits everyone straight in the heart. I don't know how much time passed before the Emperor slowly spoke.

“Standard.”

As soon as those two words were uttered, everything was over. The big rock that has been weighing heavily on my heart has finally been let go. I bowed my head in gratitude and then retreated out of the main hall. The moment you step out of the palace gate, sunlight falls on you, extremely warm. I won. We won. But that joy did not last long. I just returned to the Eastern Palace and haven't had time to tell Tieu Hanh this good news. A hidden guard carrying dust and fatigue appeared before me. He knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse.

“Your Highness, there is an emergency report from the northern border!”

“Luc Vien used the crime of 'running away from battle' to arrest Major General!”

My mind suddenly made a "bee" sound, in a moment of complete emptiness. Run away in battle? In the army, that is a serious crime worthy of death!

“What did you just say?”

My voice trembled. The dark guard raised his head, his eyes filled with impatience.

"Yesterday, a small group of Bac Man cavalry harassed the border. Luc Vien ordered Major General to lead a thousand light cavalry to fight, but did not provide reinforcements."

"The young general fell into the siege, risked his life to break through the siege, and bring back eight hundred brothers. Yet Luc Vien accused him of wanting to live and fearing death, abandoning his defensive position, committing the crime of running away! Without saying a word, he was tied up and thrown into the army prison!"

"He still let loose, saying he would deal with it according to military methods. Three days later, at the hour of the Horse, he would behead him!"

Three days later! Right on time, Ngo beheaded! My eyes darkened, my body staggered, I almost collapsed. The palace maid next to me quickly supported me.

"Miss! Princess, are you okay?"

I pushed her away, took a deep breath, and forced myself to calm down. Don't panic. At this time, absolutely do not panic. Luc Vien is taking revenge. He knew that the Luc family had collapsed, and knew that Tham Sach was about to be sent back to the capital. He wants to strike before the decree arrives, kill my brother first! What a cruel trick!

“Where is your highness?” I grabbed the dark guard's arm and asked urgently. “Where is His Highness?”

“His Highness... is in the study.”

I picked up my skirt and rushed straight towards the study room like crazy. The door was pushed open. Tieu Hanh is standing in front of the map. Seeing me rush in, he did not show any surprise. Apparently he also received the news.

“Don't rush.” He walked over, supported my shoulder, his voice as steady as a mountain. “The sky hasn't fallen yet.”

His calmness made my troubled heart gradually stabilize.

“My brother…”

“I know.” He nodded slightly. "The holy edict has been issued, use eight hundred miles to travel by speed. At the fastest, it will take five days to reach Nhan Mon Pass."

But Luc Vien only gave my brother three days. Time is completely out of time!

"It's too late..." I muttered, my heart cold as ice.

“Using the usual method would be too late.” Tieu Hanh looked at me, his eyes deep. “So, we have to use unconventional methods.”

He pulled me in front of the map.

"From the capital to Nhan Mon pass, which road has the shortest distance?"

I looked at the map and instinctively replied:

“Through the range Thai Hanh Son, follow Phi Ho mirror."

Phi Ho Kinh is one of the Thai Hanh bowls, the terrain is dangerous, ordinary merchants absolutely do not dare to go. But for urgent operations, that is the fastest route.

“That's right.” Tieu Hanh's finger pointed to the location of the Flying Fox mirror. "If someone carries my order, follows the Phi Ho mirror, day and night without rest, the fastest it will take only two days to arrive."

"Who?" I raised my head and asked urgently. “Who can shoulder this responsibility?”

Tieu Hanh looked at me and slowly said each word. I was stunned.

“Yes, it's her.” He held my hand, his palm dry but warm. "She is the daughter of the Tham family. She grew up in a military camp from a young age. Her horseback riding and martial arts skills are far beyond ordinary people."

“She is the Crown Princess. My command is in your hands to have enough weight.”

“Most important…” He looked straight into my eyes. “Tham Sach is her biological brother. Only she can make the generals under his command have absolute trust, not holding back any doubts."

His words were like a bolt of lightning that ripped through the fog in my head. If you want to remove the bell, you must find someone to tie the bell. Only we can do this.

“Okay.” I didn't hesitate, I immediately nodded. “Let's go.”

“What do you need?”

“The best horse, one of your commanders, and…” I paused for a moment. “A troop mobilization order from the Ministry of Defense, even if it's fake, it's fine.”
