Chapter 18 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!

I see it in the bottom of his eyes. It's a fear that's been suppressed for ten years. A long time later. He took out half a piece of broken jade from his sleeve.

"If the Princess wants to know the truth."

"First, please accept this item."

I received half a piece of jade. Warm jade quality. Half the word Tham was engraved on it. Thanh Tran's voice is hoarse.

"The one who ordered my father to read my destiny."

"It's the Tham family residence."

"But behind the mansion is the Tham family."

"There is also a decree from the Queen."

Outside electricity. The wind suddenly rose fiercely. The incense ashes in front of Tam Thanh statue were blown all over the ground. I tightened my grip on the half piece of jade.

"The Queen Mother?"

Thanh Tran gently closed his eyes.

"She's not the Queen Mother yet."

"But the Queen."

Thanh Tran just uttered the words "Queen". The back hall was so quiet that there was only the sound of incense ashes falling to the ground. I looked at the half broken piece of jade in my palm. The word Tham on the jade face is half missing. But there are things that are not complete. Sometimes it's more like evidence than intact things.

"The Queen that year."

"Why do you care about the fate of an eight-year-old girl?"

Thanh Tran smiled bitterly.

"Because that year, the Immortal Emperor fell seriously ill once."

"People from the Royal Hospital were on duty for three days and three nights."

"Everyone in the palace is filled with fear."

"At that time the Crown Prince was still young."

"The Tham family wants to soon pave the way for the Eastern Palace."

"So they targeted me?"

Thanh Tran nodded.

"Lady Xie's background is not low."

"The maternal family of the person who once held the position of salt manager in Jiangnan."

"The Ta family's palace is not prominent."

"But as long as Mrs. Ta is still alive."

"The Princess's marriage cannot be controlled by others."

"Just at that moment."

"Someone said that the lady of the palace named Ta had a noble destiny."

"If you enter the palace."

"I will definitely maintain the position of the Central Palace."

Listen here. On the contrary, I smiled slightly.

"Maintain the throne of the Central Palace?"

"Are they afraid that I will take away someone's position?"

Thanh Tran looked at me. The voice became even lower.

"Not usurping the Queen's throne."

"It's about usurping the throne of the Crown Princess."

My fingers suddenly tightened. Thanh Duong stood behind him and took a sharp breath, then quickly covered his mouth. Thanh Tran continued to say:

"That year, the Queen originally intended for the daughter of the Tham family to marry into the Eastern Palace."

"But the First Emperor once blurted out something while drunk."

"That Mrs. Ta is dignified and virtuous."

"If the Ta family's daughter grows up."

"It's very suitable to become the Crown Prince's concubine."

"That word reached the Queen's ears."

"It immediately became a thorn in her heart."

I lowered my eyes to look at the half piece of jade.

"That's why the Tham family sent Luc Quan to read my destiny."

"Say that my destiny is too noble."

"So noble that it will surpass the daughter of the Tham family."

Thanh Tran shook his head.

"What my father said."

"It's not precious."

I raised my eyes to look at him. His face was gray and white. It was like finally lifting a rock that had been weighing me down for ten years. But then I discovered there was blood underneath.

"My father said."

"The princess has a strong fate."

"If you enter the palace."

"I will punish my husband."

"And if you enter the Royal Palace."

"Can share the same destiny with the god of power."

"That word should have been suppressed."

"But people from the Tham residence came."

"Forcing him to change his name."

"'Going to the palace can be a Queen, entering the Royal Palace can be a Princess.'"

We gradually understand.

"They intentionally lifted me up."

"Raised to the point The Queen cannot tolerate me."

Thanh Tran gently closed his eyes.

"That's right."

"The Queen just heard the phrase 'when you enter the palace you can become a Queen'."

"I immediately determined that the Princess was a hidden threat to the Eastern Palace."

"After that, the Tham family offered again."

"Saying that as long as Mrs. Ta is still alive."

"I will definitely do my best to protect the princess from marrying into a noble family."

"Lady Ta must die."

Outside electricity. The mountain wind suddenly hit the window frame strongly. But I still didn't move. Those words. Like each icy needle. Penetrating deep into the bones of the past years. Before my mother passed away. I used to sit by the bed and read 《Female Instructions》 to someone. He stroked my hair and spoke.

"Leng Nghi, in the future you must definitely master your own path."

I just assumed that he couldn't bear to leave because he was seriously ill. He knew long ago that someone wanted to take away my path.

"Does my father know about this?"

Thanh Tran looked at me. A trace of pity appeared in his eyes.

"Lord Xie knows."

"He didn't dare accept the invitation."

"Later, the Tham family promised to give him officials."

"Promise to bring the Ta family into the noble circle of the capital."

"And promised to let him remarry with a woman from the branch of the Tham family."

"He nodded."
