Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — Married to the Marquis Palace for Five Years, I Had Three Children in a Row
At that moment, out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the Marquis's guards quietly surrounding me from all sides. Leading the way is Lam Phong, the dark guard with the highest martial arts skills that my husband left me. I saw the murderous intent in his eyes, and also saw the signal he gave me - calmly waiting. I immediately understood. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down. I opened my mouth, my voice still shaking, but a little more fierce.
“I agree with you.”
“You release my son, I will follow you to meet the Crown Prince.”
“I will personally advise Marquis.”
My words made the man in black hesitate for a moment. It was that moment of hesitation that gave Lam Phong the opportunity. Just heard a "whoosh" sound. An arrow shot out from his sleeve, accurately hitting the black-clad man's wrist. He groaned in pain, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. He hasn't had time to react yet. Lam Phong's figure was approaching like a ghost. A blow hit him directly in the back of the head. The man in black didn't have time to scream and fell limply. Almost at the same time, I rushed forward and hugged Thua Trach tightly.
"Thua Trach! My child! Are you okay? Are you scared?"
I hugged it, my whole body trembling, tears kept falling. Thua Trach in my heart finally burst into tears.
“Mother… I'm afraid…”
I hugged it, my heart ached.
“Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here, it's okay.”
I raised my head to look at Lam Phong, in my eyes was unresolved fear and overwhelming anger.
“Keep the people alive!”
“I want to know, who dares to touch the prince of Dinh Vien Marquis Palace!”
The captured survivor... couldn't resist for a day. It's not that he doesn't want to confess, it's that he doesn't dare to confess. In his mouth he hid a small bag of poison. On the way to be escorted back to the Marquis Palace, he broke the poison bag and committed suicide. People who can nurture this type of martyrs, in the entire capital, can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The pointed tip again, clearly pointing straight to the East of the palace. Tieu Can Ngon returned from court, after listening to Lam Phong's report, without saying a word. He just walked up to me, hugged me and Thua Trach - the child still sobbing in his sleep - in his arms. I can feel his body shaking uncontrollably. That ain't scared. It's anger. It's an overwhelming anger, enough to burn everything. He was always calm and restrained, his joy and anger not showing. But this time, in his eyes there was a cold murderous intent to the bone that I had never seen before. He opened his mouth, his voice low and scary.
“It was me who was wrong.”
“I think that as long as we take steps to calculate and take careful precautions, we can keep this house.”
“I thought that as long as we didn't proactively tease them, they would be cautious.”
“But I forgot, to the wild tigers and leopards, there is no truth that can be taught.”
“They…have reached my limit.”
He let me go, walked to the table, picked up a pen, and on a white piece of paper, heavily wrote down a word. That word, the sharp stroke of the pen, the force penetrated the paper. Bringing with it the smell of blood and determination. I walked up to him and held his cold hand.
“Husband, what are you planning to do?”
He turned his head to look at me, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually being replaced by a gentle look.
“Nien So, the road ahead will be very dirty, very bloody.”
“I don't want you to get involved in these things.”
“She just needs to take good care of the children, Take good care of this house.”
“Leave the rest to me.”
I shook my head.
“Husband, have you forgotten, we are husband and wife.”
“Your limit is also my limit.”
“They dare to touch my child, they are my sworn enemies.”
"I don't want to hide behind you, I'm not afraid of dirt, I'm not afraid of blood."
“I want to see with my own eyes that those who harm our children must pay the price.”
My eyes are extremely determined. Tieu Can Ngon looked at me for a long time, then finally nodded.
"Then we, husband and wife, will give him a great gift together."
The next day, I got sick. The disease is very serious. Fake news spread from inside the palace saying that the Marquis at Pho Da Pagoda was frightened, had a miscarriage, and is now bedridden, crying day and night, afraid that the child in her womb will be difficult to keep. However, the pregnancy is real... that's right, I'm pregnant for the fourth time. The Marquis became angry because of this. Not only did the entire Pho Da pagoda be searched, but they also ordered the Marquis Palace to be blockaded and closed to refuse visitors. For a moment, the whole Hau was covered with dark clouds. But the Crown Prince's side, after hearing this news, was extremely satisfied. He thought he had successfully knocked on the mountain to scare the tiger. He thought that Dinh Vien Marquis Palace had become a bird afraid of bent branches, as long as he applied a little more pressure, Tieu Can Ngon would obediently submit to him. He even pretended to be a fake, sending the Crown Princess to bring precious gifts to visit. I lay on the bed, my face pale, my breathing shallow. I held the Crown Princess's hand and cried until my heart broke.
“It's all because I'm useless, unable to protect the child…”
“Now, even this child of a few months in the womb… I'm afraid…”
The Crown Princess clumsily comforted me, but in her eyes she couldn't hide the gloating smile. After she left, I immediately sat up. His pale face and weak appearance disappeared in the blink of an eye without a trace. Xuan Dao brought a bowl of medicine.
“Madam, it's time to take your medicine.”
