Chapter 19 — Kieu Hoa Was Switched By Her Fiance, I Married The Crown Prince, He Completely Collapsed

After Luc Vien was escorted away, my brother officially took over all military affairs at Nhan Mon Quan. You acted decisively, thunder roared and the wind blew, quickly stabilizing the wavering army. And it's time for me to return to the capital. Before leaving, Tham Sach personally saw me out of the customs gate.

“Vi Vi, on your return trip, remember to be very careful.”

You adjusted the cloak around my shoulders.

“The capital is more dangerous than the battlefield.”

“I understand.”

I nodded slightly.

"Brother, you also have to be careful. Now that you are temporarily acting as Prime Minister, the Third Prince's side will definitely see you as a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh."

“Don't worry.”

Huynh smiled. In that smile is the confidence and generosity of a general.

“As long as military power remains in my hands, they will not be able to do anything to me.”

He took out a tiger talisman from his chest and gave it to me.

"This is the tiger talisman of the Tham family, please keep it."

“Brother, this…”

You put the tiger talisman in my hand.

"What if... I mean just what if, if anything happens in the capital, I'll just bring this tiger talisman to Nhan Mon gate to look for you."

“The Tham family will always obey your orders.”

I squeezed the cold but heavy tiger amulet in my hand, and my heart suddenly felt a surge of warmth.

“Brother, please rest assured.”

I looked at you and slowly said each word.

“I will not let that day when the Tham family faces a major disaster happen.”

Saying goodbye to my brother, I set off to return to the capital. When I arrived, my heart was as hot as fire. When I returned, my mood was completely different from before. This trip to Nhan Mon pass made me completely understand a truth. In this game of power, if you only know how to passively defend, you can only let people kill forever. Only when you proactively take action, firmly grasping the enemy's blade in your hand, can you truly stand in an invincible position. Five days later, I returned to the capital. In front of the Eastern Palace gate, Tieu Hanh personally stood waiting for me. He still wore his familiar inky blue cloak. As soon as he saw me, he immediately walked quickly down the steps.

“Are you back?”

He didn't ask anything more. Just quietly held my hand, enveloping my cold hands in his warm palm.

“Let's go home.”

Just those two simple words make my heart soften to the point of confusion. Returning to the temple, hot water and clean clothes were prepared early. After taking a shower and changing into comfortable casual clothes, I felt that all the fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days had disappeared quite a bit. Tieu Hanh sat at the table and poured me a cup of hot tea.

"I've heard everything about Nhan Mon pass." He looked at me, a smile flickering in his eyes. “Burns very well.”

“Your Highness, don't you blame me for acting on my own?”

“Why blame her?”

He gently shook his head.

“She did better than I expected.”

He paused for a moment then continued:

"Luc Vien died on the way to be escorted back to the capital."

“How did he die?”

I immediately understood. The so-called banditry is just an excuse.

“Is there any movement on the Third Prince's side?”

“He can't even take care of himself right now.”

The corner of Tieu Hanh's lips curled up in a cold smile.

"Luc Vien just died, the power he planted in the army has been cut off more than half. Lieu Thi Lang's case also involved many of his subordinates. him.”

“Even though the emperor has not said it clearly, people have begun to doubt him in their hearts.”

“Now, he is like a tiger that has had its claws removed, and can only temporarily cower and hide.”

That is indeed good news. But both Tieu Hanh and I understand very clearly. Tieu Canh absolutely will not give up like that. He will definitely find another opportunity to raise his head again.

“That's right.”

Seeming to remember something, Tieu Hanh spoke again.

“There is someone who wants to meet you.”

“Liu Tich Quan.”

I was momentarily stunned. Hasn't she been taken to Tran Ngu Palace?

“What's wrong with her?”

“She's gone crazy.”

Tieu Hanh replied calmly.

“All day long, I talk deliriously, always saying that there is a ghost that wants to harm me.”

"Lord Tran invited several doctors to come and see, but they were all helpless."

“She said she only wanted to see her once. As long as I meet her, she will tell me everything."

I frowned slightly. What tricks is Lieu Tich Quan planning to play again?

“To meet, or not to meet?”

Tieu Hanh looked at me and asked. I stood up.

“I also want to see what else she can pull off this time.”

The next time I met Lieu Tich Quan was in a remote courtyard of the Tran family's palace.
