Chapter 13 — Little Demon King Khang Vuong Phu

But when I saw his pale face, I couldn't laugh. It turns out that every person's body has deep scars left by swords. It's just that some people have scars on their backs, some people have scars on their wrists. There are still people who keep it hidden for their whole lives. The Crown Prince turned his eyes towards my father.

“Does Uncle Khang also know about this?”

My father shook his head.

“I only know that you went missing in your childhood, and didn't know about this tattoo.”

The Crown Prince stared at him for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Then why have you been so patient for the past sixteen years?" My father lowered his eyes.

“Because I still have a daughter.”

The prince was stunned. My father's voice was extremely soft.

“Your father holds the world, holds the Eastern Palace, holds the court.”

“I have only A Man.”

“I don't dare take her out to bet on.”

The temple suddenly sank into soundless silence. I bent down to look at the yellowed stack of papers. There were many names written on it. Some names were blurred by blood. Some names are circled in red ink. I saw the name of the former administrator of Khanh Vuong's palace. Also see the name of Dong Cung Chiem with the surname Han. On the last page, only one line of text remains.

“The ashes of Liangzhou's fire, sent to the place of Death.”

I frowned in confusion.

“What is Death?”

The Queen Mother opened her eyes.

“It is the Emperor's palace.”

The Emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp.

“Their roots are not rooted in Khanh Vuong Palace, nor are they located in the Eastern Palace.”

“And it's hiding right next to me.”

My father suddenly raised his head.

“Your Majesty.”

The emperor turned his eyes towards him.

"Sixth brother, sixteen years ago you investigated the sword swap at the temple, I also investigated the medicine swap in the inner court."

“You have backed down, I can only step back temporarily.”

“Because at that time, Thua Canh had just been returned.”

“Because at that time A Man was still too small.”

The Crown Prince coldly said: "So what about today?" The Emperor turned to look at him.

“They bumped into the wrong person today.”

I point my finger at myself.

“What are you talking about, my royal uncle?”

The emperor suddenly nodded in confirmation.

“They thought I was the most reckless and reckless weak point of Khang Vuong Palace.”

“But little do they know, the most rude and reckless person is the one who has the hardest time following their orders.”

When I heard this statement, it didn't sound like a compliment at all. The Queen Mother continued: "There is still a Khanh Vuong waiting outside." The Crown Prince suddenly let down his sleeves.

“Your father wants to investigate Khanh Vuong's palace, I am willing to personally take you there.”

The emperor stared at him.

“You are not allowed to leave.”

The Crown Prince's face darkened.

“Is your father still doubting me?”

The emperor replied: "It's not that I doubt you."

"It's that someone wants you to go."

I immediately understood. Just now, Khanh Vuong continuously pushed the Crown Prince to take the brunt. If the Crown Prince leads the army to search Khanh Vuong's palace and finds evidence, it will be the Eastern Palace purging the sect. If no evidence is found, it will turn out that Dong Cung is covering up for fellow party members. Regardless of the outcome, the Crown Prince will be placed on a fire pan and grilled. The Crown Prince clearly also understood the problem. He gritted his teeth.

“So who should we let go?”

The emperor looked towards his father ta. My father was startled.

“My brother?”

The emperor nodded.

“The Thua An sword has appeared, Luc brother can check the martial temple treasury on my behalf.”

My father's hand began to tremble again. I looked at him comfortingly.

“Father, don't be afraid.”

He took a deep breath.

“I'm not afraid.”

“Dad's legs are numb.”

I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing. The Crown Prince glanced at me, and an extremely faint smile flashed in his eyes. But that bit of laughter was quickly interrupted by an emergency sound from outside the door. Phung Bao loudly reported from outside: "Your Majesty, the military is reporting, Khang Vuong Palace has been surrounded." My father's face changed greatly. Phung Bao continued: "The person leading the troops is National Uncle Co Sung An."

“He said that the Khang Vuong palace had hidden criminals in Luong Chau and requested an immediate search.”

When my father rushed to the doorstep, he almost tripped and fell. I quickly caught him, his hand was as cold as ice. Khang Vuong Palace does not have any hidden experts. There were only a few old servants, two cooks, and three dogs guarding the door. If the forbidden army rushes in and searches, they can find whatever they want. A sword, a letter, even a body. Everything can fall from the sky and place a basket on top of Khang Vuong palace. My father turned to look at the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, there are still relics of A Man's mother in the palace.”

The Emperor's face darkened fearfully.

“Phung Bao, convey my instructions, no one is allowed to arbitrarily invade Khang Vuong Palace.”

Phung Bao accepted his orders and attempted to turn on his heel and leave. The Crown Prince suddenly spoke.

“It's too late.”

We all turn our eyes towards him. The Crown Prince analyzed: "Co Sung An was the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Army, and also the uncle of Co Minh Chau."

“Today Co Minh Chau just fell into the water, the Co family has an excuse to riot.”

“He dared to send troops to surround the royal palace, and he certainly would not obediently wait for the edict to arrive.”

I looked straight into the Crown Prince's eyes.

“Your Highness knows his way around very well.”

The Crown Prince replied coldly:

“The princess grew up in the Eastern Palace, not just for the sake of it.”

I nodded.

“So, does your highness have any insight?”

The prince pondered for a moment.

“Yes.”

The emperor frowned.

“Excess Scene.”

The Crown Prince turned to the Emperor and knelt on one knee.

“Your Majesty, I wish to use the Golden Order of the Eastern Palace to mobilize Co Sung An to retreat.”

The Emperor coldly refused: "As soon as you pulled out the token, it immediately turned into evidence that Dong Cung was involved." The prince raised his head high.

"If we don't take action, tonight Khang Vuong Palace will become the second Western Court."

My father staggered his body. The fire that burned down the West Institute in the past didn't just burn down the house. But it also burned away some of his courage to investigate and solve the case for three long years. I caught my father.

“Father, this time it won't be the same.”

He turned to look at me. I smiled reassuringly.

“This time I have grown up.”

The Queen Mother suddenly placed the Buddha beads in her hand on the desk.

“Using someone's Phuong order.”

The emperor looked up at her.
