Chapter 23 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!

Bach Lo quietly bowed his head. Even his ears were red. The wind is getting colder and colder. The Royal Palace guards brought the inner servant down from the palace to rest. In the main hall. There are only a few of us left. Bui Truong Su presented each dish he had investigated during the day in turn. List of people who have interacted with the Tham family in the palace over the past ten years. Secret contacts of the old Inner Guard team under the Queen Mother. The books record the Ta family's palace receiving money from the Tham family's palace. Along with a copy of the Thai hospital's prescription records that were changed in the past. We turn to the last page. It's clearly written on it. Before my mother fell seriously ill. There was once a nurse from the Thai hospital who came to the Ta family's palace. That medical woman was sent to Thien Thu Palace. She died in a well. The cause was recorded as slipping. My fingertips stopped.

"Does this person have any relatives?"

Bui Truong replied:

"There is a younger sister."

"Currently living in Bac City."

"Someone has been sent to protect secretly."

Tieu Thua Uyen looked at me.

"Bring her to the palace tomorrow."

I nodded.

"Doesn't the Queen Mother want the civil and military officials to attend the trial?"

"Then let her hear enough."

It was late at night. The torches in the Royal Palace have not yet been turned off. The Black Armored Guard continuously came in and out. The sound of horse hooves came one after another. I'm afraid no one in the palaces in the capital can sleep. Some people hope that the Queen Mother will turn the situation around. Some people hope the Regent will put down his sword. More and more people. We all hope that the new Queen who just caused trouble like me will be pushed out. To quell people's anger. I stand in front of the window. Suddenly remembered the rain on the wedding day. People all over the capital are waiting for me to bow. And now. They are still waiting. Just this time. The bet is even bigger than before. Tieu Thua Uyen from behind put the cloak on my shoulders.

"If it's cold, come inside."

"I'm thinking."

"What if you lose tomorrow?"

He stood next to me. The voice is calm.

"Won't lose."

"Are you so sure, Your Majesty?"

"Because there is a king."

I tilted my eyes to look at him.

"If tomorrow the Queen Mother puts all the spearheads towards me."

"Will the king still protect me?"

Tieu Thua Uyen bowed his head and looked at me.

"Ta Lenh Nghi."

"She is not a vase of flowers that this king protects behind."

"She is the one who stands shoulder to shoulder with this king."

My heart. Suddenly calmed down. He took my hand.

"Go to the palace tomorrow."

"You just need to say everything you want to say."

"There are remaining stabs."

"Just let this king take her down."

The next morning. In front of the palace gate, carriages lined up one after another, filling the entire long road. Elders. Officials of the Six Ministry. All were summoned to the palace by a decree from the Queen Mother. When getting off the bus. Many people's faces turned pale. No one knows. Today is to dethrone the Queen. Or have to witness another palace being overthrown. When the royal carriage stopped. The sounds from all directions subsided at the same time. Bach Lo's injury has not yet healed. But she was still determined to follow me into the palace. Thanh Duong also followed behind. His face was still pale, though. But compared to before, he was much calmer. Tieu Thua Uyen got out of the car first. He just appeared. In front of the palace gate, there was a large group of people kneeling down. I held his hand and got out of the car. Those people are bowing their heads. No one dared to look up and look at my face. But I know. Their ears are all listening. They want to know if we are afraid or not. Want to see if I'm hiding behind the Regent's back or not. I let go of Tieu Thua Uyen's hand. Take one step forward yourself.

"There are a large number of gentlemen coming today."

"Two afternoons."

"I also have an old case."

"I want to invite you all to listen."

In the crowd. Someone took a deep breath. The corner of Tieu Thua Uyen's lips slightly raised. He is one step slower than me. Walk beside me. Outside Thien Thu Palace. The Imperial Army has prepared its team. The Queen Mother sits in the highest position in the palace. The phoenix robe is heavy. His face was even paler than yesterday. Next to her. There is a small chair empty. That was originally the seat of deposed emperor Tieu Canh. But now. The person sitting there. It is the new emperor Tieu Hoai Can. The heavenly teenager's face was tense. As soon as he saw Tieu Thua Uyen, he wanted to stand up. Tieu Thua Uyen gently raised his hand. The new emperor sat still again. The Queen Mother saw me. His eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

"Ta Lenh Nghi."

"You still dare to come."

I bowed and performed a half-ceremony.

"The Queen Mother has issued a summons."

"Of course my father must come."

"If my father doesn't come."

"Aren't you disappointed in this big play of the Queen Mother?"

In the main hall. There was a moment of silence. The Queen Mother slammed down on the sentence.

"Insolent!"

I raised my eyes.

"The Queen Mother also said those two words."

"But yesterday."

"Disabled person."

"The former emperor."

"Who else does the Queen Mother want to abolish?"

The Queen Mother smiled coldly.

"Who won't argue with you today?"
