Chapter 26 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!

The Queen Mother sat down and sat back on the phoenix seat. The phoenix sits very high. But in just that moment, she seemed to sink down completely. Tieu Thua Uyen stepped forward, her voice cold.

"Empress Dowager Tieu Tham Thi, plotted to harm her mother, frame the Princess, secretly nurtured the old Noi Guard, causing chaos in the dynasty."

"From today, I will give up the Queen Mother title and move into the cold palace. I will never be able to step out for the rest of my life."

The royal family and the martial arts officials simultaneously prostrated themselves on the ground. No one dared to open their mouth to propose love. The new emperor stood up, his voice trembling and said:

"I'm right."

The Queen Mother screamed shrilly:

"Ai family is the Empress of the Immortal Emperor, you cannot treat ai family like that."

Tieu Thua Uyen looked towards the Black Armor Guard. The Black Armor Guard immediately stepped forward and removed the golden crown from her head. The golden coffin fell to the ground, and pearls were scattered all over the palace floor. The sound was very soft. But like the sound of thunder that had weighed heavily on the capital's sky for many years, it finally completely disappeared. When the Queen Mother was dragged out of Thien Thu Palace, she kept cursing. She scolded me for being a demon. Scolding Tieu Thua Uyen is psychotic. Scolded the whole court for not being loyal anymore. But the sound of cursing grew farther and farther away. In the end, only the sound of the wind remained. Standing in the middle of the main hall, my shoulders suddenly felt lighter. Not because the hatred has disappeared. It's that this debt has finally had its first conclusion. Tieu Thua Uyen walked to my side.

"Does your hand hurt?"

I bowed my head and looked at my palm.

"A little."

He sighed softly.

"Next time, just let someone else do it."

I look at him.

"What can the king do?"

He took my hand.

"This king cannot bear to let her suffer."

The civil and military mandarins in the palace were still kneeling. But we only heard that sentence. That afternoon, the decree disposing of the Queen Mother was spread throughout the capital. The Tham family's palace was confiscated. The Ta family's residence was interrogated. The old case was reopened. All over the capital, it was said that this time the Princess Regent's Palace had truly turned heaven and earth upside down. I sat in the carriage of the Royal Palace, watching the palace gate gradually disappear. Tieu Thua Uyen sat next to me, gently rubbing my red palm.

"Ta Lenh Nghi."

"From today onwards, no one will dare to discuss her fate anymore."

I looked towards the evening curtain outside the window.

"That's good."

"My path, I should let myself continue."

He smiled softly.

"What about this king?"

I turned my head to look at him.

"Didn't the King once say that we are on the same path?"

Tieu Thua Uyen squeezed my hand.
