Chapter 12 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!

Father suddenly raised his head.

"Do you want to destroy your elder brother?"

"He was the one who destroyed his own future first."

"Ta Lenh Nghi!"

Finally, resentment appeared in his father's eyes.

"If your mother is still alive."

"I won't stand by and watch you oppress the Ta family to this extent."

My heart tightened slightly. But we don't back down.

"Do you still remember my mother?"

His face changed slightly. We take one step forward.

"So do you still remember?"

"Five mothers are seriously ill."

"Why did the doctor suddenly ask to leave?"

The stepmother's face instantly turned pale. His father's eyes were also suddenly confused. In that moment. Silence filled the main hall like a sealed well. I've seen it already. Mother's death. Indeed, it's not just because of illness. I slowly smiled.

"Today I returned to dowry at the right time."

Outside the door, the wind blew a corner of the curtain. A royal palace guard suddenly lowered his voice to report.

"Your Highness, someone outside the palace sent an anonymous letter."

Bach Lo accepted it. After opening the letter, her face immediately changed dramatically. She gave me the letter. There was only one line of text on the paper.

"If you want to know how your mother died, please go to Duoc Cu alley tonight."

I put the envelope in my sleeve, not letting the people of the Ta family see it. But my father was still attentively following my movements, his face extremely unsightly.

"What letter is that?"

"Didn't your father say just now that once a daughter is married, she should interfere less with her mother's family matters?"

"About me, father should ask less questions."

He was so angry that his face turned blue, but he did not dare to hit the table again. The Royal Palace guards were still standing outside the main hall. The knife has not yet left its sheath. But it makes people even more scared than when they pull out the knife. When I left the Ta family's mansion, my stepmother was still sitting on the ground. Ta Van Y knelt by the door, eyes filled with tears, looking at me.

"Sister, do you really want to force the Ta family to this extent?"

I stop walking.

"It's not that I want to force the Ta family."

"It's what the Ta family owes me."

"It's time to pay."

She bit her lip, her voice became even lower.

"If one day the Royal Family hates you."

"Who else can you rely on?"

I look at her.

"So you've always been looking forward to that day."

Her face immediately turned pale. I smiled softly.

"Then you just wait a little longer."

"Because before that day."

"I will pay off every debt."

On the way back to the Royal Palace, Bach Lo always tightened his handkerchief. After holding on for a long time, she finally asked:

"Miss, is Old Medicine Lane a trap?"

"The possibilities are huge."

"So you're still going?"

She was frantic.

"If the Prince knew, he would definitely not let anyone go."

I lifted the car curtain and watched the lights on the street gradually dim.

"Then don't tell him for now."

Bach Lo was stunned.

"Miss."

"If mother's matter was truly related to the Ta family, they would have hidden it for so many years."

"Now someone delivers the letter."

"That proves that there are people who can't wait anymore."

Bach Lo lowered his voice.

"But what if it's the Queen Mother's person?"

I remember the cold eyes in Thien Thu Palace. The Queen Mother was imprisoned. That doesn't mean she doesn't have any honey glands left in her hands. Emperor Phe was taken to Nam Uyen. That doesn't mean he's really resigned to his fate department. Chess game in the capital. Just turned over a corner. I let down the car curtain.

"Whoever it is."

"You have to meet to know."

When returning to the Royal Palace, Tieu Thua Uyen was not present in the inner courtyard. History Bui Truong said that the new emperor's enthronement ceremony has not yet been decided, the Vuong family is discussing in the lobby. I nodded. Still having dinner as usual, then asked Bach Lo to get me a plain colored robe. While tying the straps of my shirt, she muttered softly.

"Miss, you can hide it for a while."

"But I can't hide it all night."

"Then let's wait for the night and then talk."

"What if the King gets angry?"

I thought for a moment.

"Let him be angry."

Bach Lo almost choked on his own saliva. The hour of the Rat is near. The back door of the Royal Palace was slightly open. I brought along two secret guards. That's the person Tieu Thua Uyen arranged for me. Normally, they were as discreet as if they didn't exist, but their footsteps didn't make even a single sound. Old Pharmacy Alley is located in the most remote place in the west of the city. Previously, there were many old herbalists living there. Later, the Thai Hospital changed its way of purchasing medicinal herbs. This alley is also gradually abandoned. Old Pharmacy Alley is extremely dark at night. The bottom of the wall is covered with wet green moss. The air still smells of old medicinal herbs.
