Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — King, It's Not Done! Princess... Princess has slapped Your Majesty!
Suddenly struggling.
"Mother save me!"
"I don't want to go to Nam Uyen!"
"You are the emperor!"
The Queen Mother rushed forward. But was stopped by the Forbidden Army. The golden hairpin in her hair fell askew. The whole person struggled. There is no longer any majesty. Tieu Thua Uyen never turned around. Tieu Canh's screams were carried far away by the wind. In Thien Thu Palace. Only death-like silence remains. Tham Minh Chau sat on the ground. The makeup on her face was smudged into a patch. She even dared to force me to kneel. Even the courage to look up at me is gone. I walked in front of her. Her whole body trembled.
"Your Majesty spare my life."
I bowed my head to look at her.
"Didn't you say, Your Highness just now..."
"Do you want to teach me etiquette?"
Tham Minh Chau cried and shook his head.
"My concubine is suddenly confused."
"Can you insult the Princess?"
She prostrated herself on the ground. His forehead hit the tile floor with a loud sound.
"I know it's wrong."
I don't speak up. Tieu Thua Uyen spoke for me.
"The Tham family's conduct is flawed."
"Revocation of title of Noble Concubine."
"Redeemed to become a commoner."
"Sent into the cold palace."
Tham Minh Chau suddenly raised his head.
"King!"
"This concubine is your Majesty's person."
Tieu Thua Uyen's voice was very calm.
"He is no longer Your Majesty."
The light in Tham Minh Chau's eyes immediately disappeared. Two palace servants stepped up and pulled her away. She struggled. Wanting to grab the Queen Mother's hem. However... The Queen Mother took a step back. That one step. Colder than any verdict. When Tham Minh Chau was pulled out of the palace. Her voice was hoarse from crying. Tieu Thua Uyen finally let go of my hand.
"Are you tired?"
I looked at the chaotic scene throughout the main hall.
"Are you scared?"
I raised my eyes to look at him.
"Do you expect me to be afraid?"
He smiled softly.
"This king just wishes she would hit a little harder."
Bach Lo bowed his head and stood behind me, no matter how hard he tried to suppress the corners of his lips, he couldn't. When the Queen Mother heard that sentence, the anger in her eyes almost flared up.
"Princess Regent, don't get complacent too early."
I turned to look at her.
"The Queen Mother is also tired today."
"Rest early."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth.
"You dare to put the Ai family under house arrest?"
Tieu Thua Uyen continued.
"The Thien Thu Palace gate will be sealed tonight."
"The Queen Mother's body is not well and needs rest."
"Without this king's orders, no one is allowed in or out."
The Queen Mother looked at him with eyes full of hatred.
"Are you planning to keep the Ai family here until they die?"
Tieu Thua Uyen calmly said:
"If the Queen Mother knows her fate, she can naturally still enjoy honor."
The meaning of that statement was understood by everyone in the palace. If the Queen Mother does not accept her fate, it is unlikely that that honor will still exist. She fell back into the phoenix seat, as if she had aged ten years in just a moment. When it was about dawn, we left Thien Thu Palace. The wind on the palace is very cold. Bach Lo put his cloak on him. We see that the east has a glimpse of white light. In just one night, the emperor was deposed, the noble concubine lost power, and the Queen Mother was placed under house arrest. But yesterday when I entered the palace, I was still a bride and everyone was waiting to see the joke. Tieu Thua Uyen walked beside me.
"At the court meeting tomorrow, this king will establish a new emperor."
"Have you chosen someone yet?"
He looked at me.
"Her Want to hear the truth?"
"Does the king also know how to lie?"
The smile on his lips was very faint.
"It remains to be seen with whom."
I don't answer. He stopped walking. The bow light fell on his shoulder in a thin layer of light.
"Immortal Emperor's younger brother, the youngest son of King Hoai Nam is Tieu Hoai Can, eleven years old this year."
"Mild temperament, pure mother clan."
"Most importantly, it knows fear."
I understand what he means. A person who knows fear is not in a hurry to bite the hand that holds power.
"The royal family intends to support the young emperor, then continue as regent for a few more years?"
Tieu Thua Uyen looked at me.
"If this king says..."
"What if it's for life?"
The wind blew through the palace wall. I suddenly felt that those words were not probing the court situation. It's like... Testing me. The next day, at the early adoration, everyone knelt in front of Kim Loan Palace. It wasn't quite dawn yet, what happened last night had already spread throughout the palace. Emperor Phe was imprisoned in Nam Uyen. The Tham family was demoted to the cold palace. The Queen Mother recuperates in Thien Thu Palace. Each incident was enough to shock the capital. But what shocked everyone the most was that after the Regent Princess slapped the Emperor, the Regent not only did not punish him, but also directly abolished the Emperor. I did not come to the previous dynasty. Female relatives of the Royal Palace should not appear in Kim Loan Palace. However, Tieu Thua Uyen ordered Bui Truong to take me to the second floor of the heavenly palace.
