Chapter 16 — Kieu Hoa Was Switched By Her Fiance, I Married The Crown Prince, He Completely Collapsed

I solemnly accepted the document and bowed to him.

“No need to thank me.” He put the seal back and once again restored his usual lazy, indifferent appearance. “I just don't like to see someone making fun of the military's great affairs.”

He walked to the window and looked at the green bamboo trees in the yard.

“Your Royal Highness, this trip to Nhan Mon Pass is a long and dangerous road, please be very careful.”

“Luc Vien is not a simple character.”

Leaving Tinh Vuong palace, the sky was already dark. We did not return to the Eastern Palace but went straight to the service station outside the city. Tieu Hanh was waiting there. He prepared for me a pure-black Bloodthirsty Horse with a completely normal body and a very ordinary lion costume.

“This is 'Snow Pedal', you can travel thousands of miles every day.” He stroked the horse's mane then looked at me and said. "The order is here, please keep it safe."

He gave me a medal engraved with the seal of the Eastern Palace.

“On this trip, everything must be careful.” He looked at me, the worry in his eyes not hidden. "If something cannot be done, you must first preserve yourself. As for others, there is still hope."

I nodded, carefully keeping the order and documents close to my body.

“Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely bring my brother back safely.”

I turned around and jumped on the horse's back, my movements were decisive and fluid.

“Everything in the capital depends on His Highness.”

“Go away.” He gently waved his hand. “I wait for her to return.”

I did not hesitate any longer, clamped my legs firmly on the horse's belly, and shouted loudly: The handsome black horse rushed away like an arrow loose from the string, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared into the night. The wind roared in my ears. The lights of the capital were quickly left far behind. There is only one thought left in my heart right now. Faster. Faster! For two days and two nights, people did not take off their armor, and horses did not leave the saddle. Besides the times when I was forced to drink water and eat some dry food, I hardly rested for a moment. If you feel sleepy, take a nap right on horseback. If you're hungry, gnaw a few pieces of dry food to bring with you. Finally, early in the morning of the third day, at the exact moment the sun had just risen, we saw the city wall stretching in the distance. Nhan Mon official, here. In front of the city gate, the guards were extremely strict. I was stopped.

“Who is the person coming!”

I reined in the horse and took out the order Tieu Hanh gave me from my chest.

"East palace secret order! Quickly open the city gate!"

As soon as the soldiers guarding the city saw the order, their faces changed. Not daring to delay, they immediately opened the city gates. I spurred my horse and galloped straight in, rushing straight towards the general's general. Along the way, we could clearly feel the oppressive and tense atmosphere pervading the barracks. The soldiers' eyes looking at me were filled with suspicion and caution. Arriving in front of the general, two soldiers raised their hands to block me.

"This is an important place for the military, people without official duties are exempt from entering!"

“Insolent!”

I shouted loudly.

"I am the reigning Crown Princess! I have a military emergency and need to see General Luc Vien!"

The two looked at each other, clearly not believing it. At that moment, the curtain was lifted and a tall, middle-aged general stepped out. He wore armor, dark skin, and cold, gloomy eyes. It's Luc Vien. As soon as he saw me, his eyes flashed She was surprised, but quickly regained her composure.

"I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be the Crown Princess. I didn't know that your highness was coming, what advice did you have?"

His tone carried some contempt.

“Luc Vien!”

I turned around, got off my horse, walked up to him, and looked coldly straight into his eyes.

“Where is my brother, Tham Sach?”

“Oh, you mean you mean Deputy General Tham?”

He pretended to suddenly understand.

"He ran away during the battle, a heinous crime. I have imprisoned him in a large prison. At noon today, he will be beheaded in front of the entire army."

“You dare!”

I am angry to the extreme.

"Military tactics are like mountains, what does one not dare to do?"

He laughed coldly.

"Princess, this is a military camp, not your Eastern Palace. If you want to show off, I'm afraid you've looked in the wrong place."

“I obey the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come here and read the order!”

I held up the command card in my hand.

“Luc Vien, receive orders!”

He stared at the token in my hand, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. But he never knelt down.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

He snorted coldly.

"I'm just a sick and sick person. Even if I can't even sit on my throne, do you still want to take care of my border affairs?"

"Luc Vien! You are so bold! You dare to disrespect the Army!"

"What's wrong with being rude?"

He took a step forward, approached me, and lowered his voice.
