Chapter 17 — Little Demon King Khang Vuong Phu

The palace gate finally opened wide. We rode our horses and rushed into the palace, along both sides of the palace, the torchlight cast a chaotic shadow. There was a palace maid frantically holding a trunk of clothes and running for her life. There was an inner servant trying to suppress his voice and whispering the news. Another group of private soldiers from the Co family passed through the side door. As soon as they saw the Crown Prince, they immediately knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. The closer he got to Tu Than Palace, the more intense the smell of fresh blood rose up, hitting his nose. Outside Tu Than Palace, the Empress Dowager's men and the Queen's men were standing facing each other, raising their bows and swords. My father was also there. In his hand, he clutched the Thua An sword, his face was terrifyingly pale, closely following him was a team of former guards mobilized from the temple. Seeing me, his eyes immediately turned red.

“A Man!”

I threw Co Sung An to the ground.

“Father, our house hasn't burned down yet.”

My father breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he saw my shirt burning black, he was so angry that his lips trembled.

“Are you going into the fire again?”

“Just breaking in a little bit.”

“A little bit is enough!”

The Crown Prince standing next to him lowered his voice and advised: "Uncle Khang Vuong, now is not the time to teach your daughter." My father immediately shut his mouth. But the way he looked at the Crown Prince made him even more annoying. The Queen Mother stood majestically on the steps of the palace, her expression hard and cold. The late Queen stood on the opposite side. She wore a phoenix robe, her appearance was dignified and beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes somewhat resembled Co Minh Chau's. Only thing is, Co Minh Chau's sharp sarcasm is hidden on the tip of his lips. The late Queen's malice was subtly hidden behind her smile. She saw Co Sung An being caught, but there was not the slightest hint of confusion or hesitation in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I arbitrarily left the forbidden palace, and even kidnapped and threatened the National Coffin, do you know your crime?"

The Crown Prince strode down the steps.

“Mother, I just want to ask one question.”

“This agarwood necklace, do you recognize it?”

He held up the string of beads that had been ripped to pieces. The late Queen lowered her eyes and glanced indifferently.

“Of course I noticed.”

"You have been suffering from cold and illness for many years. This palace personally went to pray for your return."

The Crown Prince's voice was tight and choked.

“Agarwood seeds contain O Cot Huong.”

The late Queen sighed deeply.

“The doctor once said that that medicine can ease your pain caused by the cold.”

I laughed contemptuously.

"At the same time, it also makes him unable to live without the rosary she gave him every day."

At this time, the late Queen finally looked at me.

“Haven't you made enough trouble today, my lord?”

I held out the white porcelain vase.

“Not enough.”

“In the medical book that my mother left behind, it was written clearly and clearly.”

“If O Cot Huong is combined with Kim Tran Dang, it will become extremely poisonous to control and manipulate people.”

The late Queen smiled faintly.

“Where is the medical book?”

My heart skipped a beat. She asked very calmly and firmly. It was as if I had anticipated that I would return with the medical book. At that moment, a former guard standing next to him suddenly let out a deep cry of pain and collapsed to the ground. As he fell, a small spark of fire emitted from his sleeve tiny, fell and hit someone. I quickly raised my hand and slapped it. But that spark was already soaked in kerosene, and in the blink of an eye, it caught fire at the edge of the medical book. The Crown Prince suddenly reached out and grabbed the medical book for me, the fire cruelly licking his palm. I quickly tore off my outer layer to put out the fire. Medical books can only save half. The Crown Prince's hand was burned and blistered, turning red. The smile on the Queen's face finally faded a bit.

“Thua Canh, because of it, you don't even need your hands anymore?”

The prince raised his head to look at her.

“What was the mother's concern just now, was it her son's arm, or was it because the medical book had not been completely burned yet?”

The late Queen did not answer. The Queen Mother coldly retorted: "Miss Co, how long are you going to continue acting like a fake?" The late Queen slowly raised her eyes.

“Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying.”

My father suddenly stepped forward. Thua An's sword was about half an inch unsheathed in his hand.

“Your Majesty, the records in the royal temple archives have been thoroughly examined.”

“Twenty years ago, the old arrows were sealed in a total of three boxes.”

“One of them, in the year of the Great Emperor's death, was borrowed by the inner court.”

“The person who signed the name is the female relative of the Co family.”

The late Queen then turned her eyes to my father.

“Kang Vuong has patiently endured all these years, today he is majestic and majestic.”

My father's hand is still shaking. But he did not hesitate to step back.

“This king did not come to show off his power.”

“This king has come to collect his debt.”

As soon as the sentence ended, the Emperor's coughing sound suddenly rang out inside Tu Than Palace. Phung Bao helped the Emperor out of Tu Than Palace. The Emperor's face was as gray as ash, but his eyes were as sharp as a shining blade.

“Queen.”

"I also want to hear how you plan to repay the debt you owe to Khang Vuong Palace."

The late Queen stared at him, suddenly showing an extremely relieved smile.

“Since Your Majesty has personally come here, then I don't need to hide it anymore.”

She reached out and pulled down a golden brooch from the phoenix crown. At the end of that golden brooch, there is a tiny word "Luong" engraved. The whole yard immediately stirred. But the Queen was staring at me.

"Tham A Man, your mother hasn't completely passed away yet."

“The last breath was caused by my own hand causing her to die.”

As soon as the Queen's words ended, the atmosphere in front of Tu Than Palace was like being poured with a bucket of cold water. Thua An's sword in my father's hand suddenly pulled out of its sheath. The sword light flashed brightly, reflecting his pale, almost transparent face.

“What did you say?”

The late Queen looked at him, the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile.

“Didn't Mr. Khang hear clearly?”

"That year, your Royal Highness was poisoned and was still barely breathing."

“When she was brought to Khang Vuong Palace, the palace once visited her.”

"She recognized the word 'Luong' engraved on the brooch of this palace."

“So she couldn't continue to survive.”

My father staggered as if he was about to collapse. I quickly reached out my hand to help him. But this time he didn't fall down. He stared at the late Queen, his red-striped eyes filled with terrifying blood.

“Why did you intend to harm her?”

The late Queen lowered her eyes and calmly caressed the golden brooch.

“She shouldn't worry about money.”

"She shouldn't have saved the Queen Mother and Her Majesty."

“That cup of wine from Liangzhou was originally meant for this palace to change hands.”
