Chapter 16
Chapter 16 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!
Phung Hac Nien's throat moved slightly.
"The Tham family residence."
The air in the room suddenly turned cold. Tham family palace. Tham Minh Chau's mother. It is also the family behind the emperor's favored concubine. I remember the hand painted with red nails in Thien Thu Palace. Some debts start earlier than we think. Tieu Thua Uyen asked:
"Why does the Tham family want to harm Mrs. Ta?"
Phung Hac Nien shook his head.
"The villagers only heard a few sentences."
"Lord Ta said, only when the wife dies, the Ta family can consummate that marriage."
"Ke That said, the Tham family promised to support the Ta family."
"And said that noble lady doesn't want to see Mrs. Ta's daughter dominate others when she grows up."
I raised my eyes. Phung Hac Nien nodded.
"When the Princess was young."
"There was once someone who told people's fate."
"Says that the person has an extremely noble destiny."
"If you enter the palace, you can become a Queen."
"If you enter the royal palace, you can become a royal concubine."
"After the word spread."
"Lady Xie fell ill."
My hand slowly tightened. The mother did not die because of a dispute in the family. But I die because of other people's taboo towards my destiny. How ridiculous it is. I'm only eight years old. I don't even know which direction the palace door opens. Tieu Thua Uyen's voice was cold as ice.
"Who is the fortune teller?"
Phung Hac Nien's face turned pale.
"The former official of Kham Thien Giam, Luc Quan."
"Then he suddenly died."
"The family also left the capital overnight."
Bui Truong Su stood aside and said softly:
"Your Majesty, Luc Quan has a son."
"Currently working as a Taoist priest at Bach Van Taoist temple outside the capital."
Tieu Thua Uyen looked at me.
"Go catch it tomorrow."
He frowned slightly. I slowly stood up.
"Not a catch."
"It's an invitation."
"I want to see it."
"That year's 'noble fate' sentence."
"In the end, who sent him to spread the word?"
Tieu Thua Uyen looked at me. Suddenly smiled.
"The king intends to catch a big fish."
"The fish have taken the bait."
"The people at Duoc Cu Lane just moved tonight."
"It's proven that they're afraid this old case will be exposed."
I looked at Phung Hac Nien.
"Mr. Phung."
"If you want to live."
"Write down everything you know."
Phung Hac Nien repeatedly bowed his head.
"The people are willing to write."
Tieu Thua Uyen ordered Black Armor guards to guard. Wait for someone to be taken down. He just turned around and looked at me.
"It's my turn to settle accounts with her."
My heart jumped slightly.
"Hasn't the King already finished his calculations?"
He said calmly:
"The old case has been settled."
"And you."
"Leave the palace at midnight."
"Hide your husband."
"Put yourself in danger."
"This debt."
"Still not counted."
I look at him.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Tieu Thua Uyen took another step forward. The red candlelight reflected into the bottom of his eyes, forming deep patches of light and darkness.
"Don't sleep in the small bed anymore."
The next day woke up. Sunlight covered the window frame. The place next to it was empty. However, the blanket still left a light, fresh scent. Bach Lo carried water and walked in. As soon as she saw me, she smiled strangely. I glanced at her.
"The wound doesn't hurt anymore?"
She immediately retracted her smile.
"You still smile when it hurts?"
"The slave is happy for the Lady."
I received the towel.
"What are you happy about?"
Bach Lo replied in a low voice:
"It wasn't until dawn that the King left."
"Before leaving Tell the kitchen to stew in soup for nourishment."
"Says that Miss was scared last night."
The movement of wiping my hands stopped.
"Didn't he say Bach Lo was injured?"
Bach Lo choked. After a while, he muttered in a low voice:
"In the heart of the Royal Family, there is indeed only the Young Lady."
I couldn't help but burst out laughing. But I finished laughing. My heart is heavy again. Phung Hac Nien's testimony has been written. The mother's death involved the Tham family, the Ta family and the old people of Kham Thien Giam. These three clues connect into one line. Then the person behind. It is unlikely that there is only the Tham family palace alone. Tham Minh Chau was exiled to the cold palace. But the Tham family palace still exists. The Queen Mother is still in Thien Thu Palace. Emperor's death in Nam Uyen. The outside looks like it has been abandoned. But one person was dismissed. If your heart is still full of resentment. He is also the person most likely to be used as a knife by others. Finished breakfast. Bui Truong Su came to invite.
"Your Highness, your Royal Highness is waiting for you in the lobby."
I changed into an ivory white dress. In her hair, she wore only a simple jade hairpin. Tieu Thua Uyen saw me walk in. His eyes stopped on my face for a moment.
"Have you had enough sleep?"
I calmly replied:
"It's just that the Prince woke up too early."
Bui Truong Su bowed his head and looked at the ground. As if nothing was heard.
