Chapter 24
Chapter 24 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!
She looked around the royal family and the martial arts officials in the palace.
"Princess Regent's Palace, Ta Thi."
"Bringing a demon destiny to seduce the king."
"If you enter the palace, you will cause chaos in the family."
"If you enter the palace, you will cause chaos in society."
"She slapped the Emperor first."
"Later, he incited the Regent to abolish the emperor."
"Now they still frame the Tham family."
"Persecution of biological father."
"Such a single woman."
"Not worthy of being a Princess."
In the interior of the temple. Immediately someone chimed in.
"The Queen Mother is right."
"The princess just entered the door not a few days ago."
"The capital has continuously been in turmoil."
"If the position is not abolished."
"I'm afraid people's hearts won't be at peace."
I looked over. The person who just spoke up. Is the King of An Binh District. He once sent people to the mansion of the Tham family. In Bui Truong's list. There's his name.
"The king thinks that."
"What should we do?"
King of An Binh District straightened his back.
"Ask to leave the throne."
"Go to Thanh Tu temple."
I burst out laughing.
"The king is very merciful."
"And you don't ask for my life."
His face changed slightly. The Queen Mother coldly said:
"You don't need to pretend to be pitiful."
"Ai family in hand."
"There are also witnesses."
She gently raised her hand. Someone was brought in outside the palace. It's Ta Van Y. She wore a white outfit. Both eyes are swollen and red. As soon as he entered the temple, he knelt down.
"Please, Your Highness the Queen Mother, be the head of the Ta family mansion."
I looked at Ta Van Y, without the slightest surprise in my heart. The Queen Mother asked: "Ta Van Y, please speak." Ta Van Y raised her teary eyes.
"The day the Princess arrived, she brought the Royal Palace guards to force her father."
"In order to get back the dowry, she did not hesitate to frame her mother-in-law and force her father to confess."
"After my father was escorted away, up and down the Ta family palace there was not a single day of peace."
She cried miserably.
"Father has never harmed Mrs. Tien."
"Those so-called evidences were all fabricated by the Princess in order to take revenge on the Ta family."
Discussions immediately arose in the main hall. The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with pride.
"Ta Lenh Nghi, even your own sister is not on your side."
I look at Ta Van Y.
"You said your father is innocent."
She bit her lip.
"You said I fabricated evidence."
"Then do you dare stand before my mother's spirit and say it again?"
Ta Van Y's face immediately turned pale. I turned my head to warn him.
"Bring in the spirit."
Bach Lo personally carried a wooden box and entered the main hall. In the box is placed the relic of my mother. At that moment, Ta Van Y's crying suddenly stopped. I walked in front of her.
"Say it right in front of people."
Ta Van Y's lips trembled constantly. The Queen Mother angrily shouted: "Ta Lenh Nghi, this is the Thien Thu palace, not the palace hall of the Ta family." I turned around.
"Is the Queen Mother afraid that the deceased will hear?"
The Queen Mother's face suddenly stiffened. Tieu Thua Uyen calmly said: "Let her speak." Just those four words silenced all the protesting sounds in the room. Ta Van Y knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling violently. I squatted down and said softly: "If you tell the truth today, I will leave you a way to live."
"And if you continue to lie for them, you will also have to bear a part of the Ta family's sins."
Ta Van Y's tears rolled down. She suddenly raised her head to look at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother narrowed eye.
"Ta Van Y, you should think carefully."
Ta Van Y seemed to be burned by that gaze and quickly lowered his head. I know, she is afraid of the Queen Mother. But she is even more afraid of death. After a long while, she burst into tears.
"I don't know if Mrs. Tien was harmed or not."
"I only know that my mother told me to go to the palace last night and told me that as long as I insisted that the Princess fabricate evidence, the Queen Mother would protect the Ta family residence."
The whole hall was immediately in an uproar. The Queen Mother's face completely darkened. King An Binh also changed his expression. I stood up.
"It seems that the Queen Mother's witnesses are not very trustworthy."
The Queen Mother coldly said: "Just a girl who was threatened by you. Her testimony cannot be counted."
"Then change to someone else."
I gently raised my hand. Phung Hac Nien was brought into the main hall. Next is Thanh Tran. Next is the doctor's sister. Old letters, prescriptions, gold leaves, fingerprints, books, each item is displayed in the middle of the main hall. Bui Truong read each thing out loud in front of the civil and military officials. Each word is like a blade scratching the yellow tile floor of Thien Thu Palace. The Queen Mother's face finally lost all color little by little. Bui Truong read the last old letter. In the main hall, no one dared to speak casually anymore. The gold leaf has a phoenix pattern engraved on the letter. Placed in a tray. Under the bow light. Cold golden light. Thanh Tran knelt in the middle of the main hall.
