Chapter 18 — Little Demon King Khang Vuong Phu

The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed.

"Miss Gu, your Gu family has been showered with favors from the royal family for decades, yet you dare to secretly collude with the remnants of Liangzhou."

The late Queen raised her head high.

“Royal grace?”

"The old man offered his daughter to the palace and surrendered military power to His Majesty. What happened to the end? Just because of the word 'Luong' tattooed on the Crown Prince's wrist, His Majesty was suspicious of the Eastern Palace for sixteen years."

The Crown Prince stood on the steps, his face even colder than the falling night.

"So you poisoned the necklace for the princess to wear, also for the sake of the Co family?"

When the Queen turned to look at him, her eyes finally softened for a moment.

"Thua Canh, the mother did this to protect you."

The Crown Prince laughed bitterly.

“Protect me?”

“It's so that I can't be separated from the necklace you gave me every day, so that I blindly believe that my bone pain is just a sequela of an old injury, so that I can turn into an obedient puppet whose strings are manipulated by the Gu family.”

The late Queen frowned.

“I am the Crown Prince.”

“The Crown Prince is not allowed to be too soft-hearted, nor is he allowed to trust his father too much.”

“The mother is just teaching me how to survive.”

The last bit of warmth in the Crown Prince's eyes also disappeared.

“What about Khang Vuong Phi?”

“What about Tham A Man?”

“Are they also the price you have to pay for the survival lessons you taught me?”

The late Queen did not respond. Her silence is colder than a thousand explanations. I took out a small white porcelain vase from my bosom.

“The O Cot Huong that my mother left behind is lying here.”

“The medical book is also here.”

“Co Sung An and her henchmen set fire to the house, wanting to destroy all evidence.”

The late Queen said indifferently: "A tattered book, a bottle of anonymous powder, cannot determine the crime of this palace." I asked back: "So what about the words you just said with your own mouth?" She smiled confidently.

"The whole palace is in chaos, who can testify?"

As soon as her words ended, from inside Tu Than Palace suddenly came a weak, moaning voice.

“This old slave can.”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the same time. Phung Bao was helping an old woman wearing a gray cloak, slowly walking out of the palace. The old woman had white hair, a long old scar on her face, and her steps were limp. I don't know her. But my father suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“Manh aunty?”

As soon as the old woman saw my father, tears immediately fell from her eyes.

“Your Majesty, this old slave is still alive.”

My father's lips trembled.

"That year, they said you died in the West Courthouse fire."

Manh aunt shook her head and waved her hand.

“The princess, before her deathbed, hid the old slave in a secret cabinet in the medicine room, then instructed Lao Luong to escort the old slave to escape from the capital.”

“Old Luong said that if the evidence has not been fully collected, if the old slave shows his face, the princess will not be able to survive.”

I stared at her. She also stared at me. In those cloudy eyes, suddenly a faint light flashed.

“Your Highness, you grew up just like the Princess.”

My throat is tight and choking. The Queen's face finally changed completely. The Emperor coldly ordered: “Manh Thi, declare everything you know.” Manh aunty knelt down on the ground.

“Sixteen years ago, after the poisoned wine incident at the spring banquet, the Princess was brought to Khang Vuong Palace.”

“The Queen came to visit the patient late at night, bringing a bowl of decoction.”

“Before the princess drank it, she smelled the smell of O Cot Huong and immediately threw the medicine bowl over.”

“The Queen saw that the matter was exposed, so she pulled out a golden hairpin and stabbed it straight into the Queen's heart.”

The long sword in my father's hand made a shrill "clang" sound. Manh, aunt, sobbed and continued.

“Before her death, the princess broke Thanh Ngoc Khau in half.”

“Half was given to the Queen Mother, half was given to the Royal Family.”

“People say that jade will lure enemies in the open, but poison can expose hidden enemies in the palace.”

The late Queen was startled and took a step back. The private soldiers of the Co family behind her also panicked. The Queen Mother shouted loudly: "Arrest Miss Co!" The late Queen suddenly pointed the golden brooch straight at her throat.

“Who dares to come closer?”

Her eyes scanned the crowd, finally stopping on the Crown Prince.

"Thua Canh, if you still recognize me as your mother, please protect me from leaving the palace."

The Crown Prince stood still and motionless. The late Queen stared at him, for the first time her eyes showed a trace of panic and fear.

“Excess Scene.”

“Since I was little, I have been sick and weak, my mother has been by my side day and night to take care of me.”

“Every time I have a cold and aching pain, my mother holds me and stays up all night until morning.”

"Now, because of a wild girl from Khang Vuong's palace, you just watch them depose your mother?"

I was just about to open my mouth to respond. The Crown Prince spoke again before me.

“She is not a wild girl.”

The late Queen was stunned and stunned. The Crown Prince's voice was extremely steadfast.

“She is a princess of the royal family.”

“The only daughter of Uncle Khang Vuong.”

“Also the daughter of the person who was harmed to death.”

The Queen's face turned cold little by little.

“Okay.”

“Very good.”

She suddenly burst out laughing.

“This palace raised the Crown Prince for sixteen long years, and in the end, they joined outsiders to bite and tear me apart.”

The crown prince whispered in a low voice: "It's because the mother considered me a pawn first." The golden brooch in the Queen's hand suddenly turned. I thought she was planning to commit suicide. But the next second, she swung her hand and threw it hard, the golden brooch sticking straight towards the Emperor's face. Phung Bao screamed in horror. I stood closest, immediately lifted my foot and kicked a piece of broken tile from the ground. The golden brooch hit a piece of tile and flew away, grazed close to the Emperor's shoulder, and crashed into the palace door. The late Queen took advantage of the chaos and gradually retreated backwards. The private soldiers of the Co family simultaneously drew their knives and rushed to defend. In front of Tu Than Palace, it suddenly became a mess. My father held his sword to shield himself in front of me. His swordsmanship was clumsy, but he resisted extremely fiercely and seriously. A private soldier brandished a knife and slashed at him. My father closed his eyes and raised his Thua An sword to block the trick. The sword was knocked back. He himself was startled and startled. I shouted: “Dad, open your eyes.” He opened his eyes frantically eye.

“Dad, it's open.”

“Just now, you aimed even tighter than closing the door from the street.”

The roots of his ears turned red.

“First time doing this, next time you'll get used to it.”

I almost burst out laughing. But before he could finish laughing, Co Sung An struggled out of his restraints, picked up a short sword from the ground, and rushed towards Miss Manh. He wants to exterminate.
