Chapter 13 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!

So bitter that it makes one's throat dry. Bach Lo walked close to us. Her palms were sweaty. At the end of the alley, a light flickered. Under the lamp there was an old man sitting. The old man wore an old gray robe, his back bent very low. Heard footsteps. The old man raised his head. That face was so thin that it was just skin and bones. But the eyes still shine brightly. As soon as the old man opened his mouth, his first sentence was:

"Are you Mrs. Ta's daughter?"

I looked at the old man.

"Who are you?"

The old man replied:

"I am the physician who once treated your mother."

Bach Lo took a sharp breath of cold air. The hand hidden in my sleeve slowly tightened.

"Didn't you tell the mandarin to go back to your hometown?"

The old man smiled bitterly.

"If I can really go back to my hometown."

"Why did I have to hide in this evil alley for ten years?"

I stared at the old man.

"How did my mother die?"

The old man did not answer immediately. The old man took out a small porcelain vase from his chest and placed it under the lamp.

"Your mother is not deathly ill."

"But being chronically poisoned by people day after day."

Bach Lo's eyes immediately turned red. And I'm surprisingly calm. Maybe all these years. We have asked ourselves that question too many times in our hearts. Now when I hear the answer. On the contrary, it was like a blade finally coming down.

"Who poisoned it?"

The old man looked toward the alley and lowered his voice extremely low.

"In the Ta family's mansion, someone took action."

"But the real person gave the poison."

"Not a member of the Ta family."

My heart suddenly sank. The old man was just about to open his mouth. Suddenly, a short whistle sounded at the beginning of the alley. The two dark guards pulled out their swords at the same time. A dark shadow descended from the top of the wall, cold light slashing straight at the old man's throat. I shouted loudly:

"Keep the people alive!"

The two dark guards immediately fought. The impact of the blade made a deafening sound. The old man panicked and fell to the ground. The porcelain vase rolled to my feet. I just bent down to pick it up. A cold arrow cut through the wind and rushed forward. Bach Lo jumped in front of me. The arrow grazed her shoulder blade. M.'s blood immediately stained his sleeve red. I caught her. His eyes gradually became cold. At the beginning of the alley, fire torches suddenly lit up at the same time. A patrol army rushed in. The leader shouted loudly:

"Someone assaulted me in the middle of the night!"

"Arrest the Regent Princess!"

I looked up at the soldiers who had been waiting in advance. This envelope is not to invite me to investigate an old case. It's that someone wants to pin the crime of murder on him. The torches of the city's patrolling troops lit up the entire Old Duoc Cu alley bright red. The lights, the blood stains, the rainwater on the green moss, all were turned into a cold light by the firelight. Bach Lo hugged his shoulders, his face terribly pale. I supported her and said softly:

"Please bear with it."

She gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Miss, I'm fine."

The army leader wore the uniform of a Citadel Camp Lieutenant, his eyebrows were very high, but his eyes were quickly avoided. He raised his sword and pointed it straight at me.

"The Princess Regent secretly met with the fugitive late at night, intending to kill and exterminate."

" "

"The witnesses and evidence are all complete, why don't you hurry up and be tied up?"

I look at him.

"What's your name?"

He was stunned. It seems unexpected that I'm still asking about it at this time.

"Captain of Thanh Phong barracks, La Thanh."

I nodded.

"Principal La came quickly."

La Thanh smiled coldly.

"We passed by this place on patrol at night and coincidentally encountered the Royal Princess committing a crime."

"Of course you have to come quickly."

I looked towards the old monk sitting on the ground. He was shielded behind by two secret guards, so scared that his whole body trembled. The small porcelain vase is in my hand. The vase is very cold. It was as cold as my mother's hand in the hospital bed. I raised my eyes.

"You said I assaulted you."

"So where is the murder weapon?"

La Thanh pointed towards the body in the alley. The man in black had just jumped down from the top of the wall and was lying motionless on the ground. On the chest is a short arrow. The arrow tail feathers are the uniform manufacturing style of Thanh Phong joint. I just took a look and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Lieutenant La."

"Your people kill people."

"Turn around and say I committed assault."

"This chess game."

"It's too hasty."

La Thanh's face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, don't try to make excuses."

He waved his hand. The patrol troops advanced simultaneously. The two dark guards immediately raised their swords to block the front. The torchlight wavered. The killing intent at the entrance of the alley suddenly rose. However, I raised my hand to stop the two secret guards.

"Don't move."

Bach Lo quickly said:

"Miss!"

I replied softly:

"What they're waiting for."

"It was the Royal Palace who pulled out the knife."
