Chapter 10 — Little Demon King Khang Vuong Phu

I replied: "Laughing at you guys is like being reincarnated." The prince frowned.

"Tham A Man, don't be arrogant before going to court."

I turned to ask the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, am I allowed to be arrogant?”

The emperor sat leaning against the throne, his shoulder had just been wrapped in a white bandage. His face was pale, but did not reveal any anger.

“Just say it.”

I strode forward to the female official. She looked up at me, her eyes filled with utter terror. I remember these eyes. Just now at Tho Khang palace, when she gave Thanh Ngoc Khau to the Queen Mother, her hands were very steady and calm. Now this horror is so obvious, it looks so fake. I squat down.

“Sister, who hit you?”

She bit her lip and refused to open her mouth. Khanh Vuong said in a deep voice: "She's already too scared, so there's no need for the princess to force her to interrogate her further." I raised my head.

“Uncle Khanh Vuong truly loves flowers and regrets pearls.”

Khanh Vuong's face darkened.

“This king is only investigating the case for your majesty.”

I nodded in agreement.

“Then I also want to try to find out.”

Suddenly, I reached out and grabbed the female mandarin's sleeve tightly. She shivered, instinctively trying to pull her hand away. I put my hand into her sleeve and pulled out a piece of candy. Everyone in the yard stared at that candy. Candy wrapping paper is a familiar type of oiled paper used in the small room of Tho Khang Palace. I held the candy between two fingers.

“This candy is mine.”

“Just now when I entered Tho Khang palace, the ghost ransacked it, the pebbles and fish bones were all confiscated, only a few candies remained.”

“After that I have to kneel in the heavenly palace and eat one piece.”

“The remaining two pills, I hid in my sleeve.”

I fixed my eyes on the female official's face.

“Did you pull it out from my body?”

Her face suddenly turned pale. The Crown Prince spoke coldly: "What does a piece of candy prove?" I threw the candy straight into Phung Bao's hand.

“It cannot be proven that she harmed me.”

“But it can be proven that she ever touched me.”

"And all the way from Tho Khang Palace to the Royal Study Room, besides my father and the Queen Mother, she was the only one standing next to me."

The female official suddenly slammed the trunk's head on the ground.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I did not mean to take it. I just saw something strange in your sleeve and was afraid that you would bring a weapon into Tho Khang palace."

I burst out laughing again.

“It turns out you already knew what was in my sleeve.”

“Then I ask you.”

“The Thanh Ngoc Khau in my sleeve, have you ever seen it?”

Her eyes wavered and avoided. I didn't give her a chance to react out of breath.

“If you have never seen it, how could Uncle Khanh Vuong know how to use you to slander and torment me?”

"And if you saw it, why didn't you report it when you were next to the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother chased him there. She was supported by palace staff, her cold face was extremely scary.

“Ngoc Dan.”

The female official's body was soft. The Queen Mother stared at her.

“My father treated you well.”

The female official named Ngoc Dan bowed to the ground, her voice trembling.

“My lady, the lives of your entire family are in their hands.”

Khanh Vuong shouted loudly: "Talk nonsense!" I stood up straight.

“Why is Uncle Khanh Vuong so enthusiastic?”

“She still hasn't said who they are but."

Khanh Vuong immediately fell silent. Tham Tung Le stood behind him, his whole body as if his bones and tendons had been drained. The Queen Mother slowly spoke:

“Bring her down and severely interrogate her.”

Ngoc Dan suddenly raised his head.

“No need to look up anymore.”

“I won't be able to survive tonight either.”

She turned her eyes towards the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, today's fake decree was spread out by a servant.”

“The aunt of the Royal Tea Room was also lured there by her servant.”

“But your majesty and servants were completely unaware of the matter.”

“This slave only knows that someone wants to keep the princess of Khang Vuong's palace in Tho Khang palace, then use an excuse to bring a crime on her head.”

The Emperor's voice was very soft.

“Who?”

Ngoc Dan turned his eyes towards Khanh Vuong. Khanh Vuong's face changed greatly.

“My dear, you dare to bite and tear this king!”

Ngoc Dan laughed bitterly.

“The slave has never met the Royal Family.”

“The person that this servant met is the chief historian of Khanh Vuong's palace.”

Tham Tung Le suddenly shouted: "Lie!" This scream was too hasty. So hastily that all eyes turned to him. I narrowed my eyes.

“Tham Tung Le, what are you scared of?”

Tham Tung Le's lips trembled.

"I don't, I just feel like she's lying."

Let's take one step forward.

“You know who assassinated me on that deserted road.”

"You also know that the Crown Prince will be waiting for me at the end of that road."

"Do you even know what shocking things the chief historian of Khanh Vuong's palace has done?"

"Are you the little prince of Khanh Vuong's palace, or are you someone else's messenger dog?"

Tham Tung Le's face was sometimes white and sometimes red. The Crown Prince coldly stared at him.

“Celebration Ceremony.”

Tham Tung Le made a "thud" sound and fell to his knees.

“Your Highness, I absolutely do not dare to deceive.”

“I was only following my orders to see if the princess had arrived at the Royal Study Room.”

I ask: "Whose mission?" He stole a glance at the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's face became even colder.

“Know.”

Tam Tung Le gritted his teeth.

“It is the Eastern Palace of Contemplation.”

The Crown Prince froze in place. The yard suddenly fell silent. Dong Cung Chiem Su is the closest minister next to the Crown Prince. If he is involved in this matter, Dong Cung absolutely cannot deny the relationship. The Crown Prince angrily shouted: "Where are you, tell Han Chiem about it!" The royal guards immediately received orders to leave. But just a moment later, the guard hurried back.

“Your Majesty, Han Chiem committed suicide in the Eastern Palace study room.”

"There was also a bloody letter of confession left on the table."

The smile on my lips slowly disappeared. Another person died. The emperor asked: "What is written in the book of blood?" The guard knelt down to report.

"Han Chiem confessed to falsely spreading the will, bribing the palace staff, and executing His Majesty."

"At the same time, he also confessed that everything was forced by the Khang Vuong district lord."

I pointed to my nose.

“Me?”

The guard bowed his head.

“Not only that.”

“The book of blood also states that in the past, in order to avenge the princess, Khang Vuong secretly colluded with his former subordinate Luong Chau, and sixteen years later borrowed the hand of the princess to avenge his hatred.”

Right behind me, from the end of the palace, suddenly came loud, chaotic footsteps. Someone loudly shouted:

“King Wang has rushed into the palace!”

I turned around in surprise. My father wears the royal crown The robe was worn out, but in his hand he carried a long sword. The sword's scabbard was peeling and ragged, as if it had not been unsheathed for many years. He strode forward step by step, his face pale, but his eyes were brighter than ever.

"Who said that this king colluded with his former subordinate Luong Chau?"
