Chapter 3 — Mother's Throne

"There are nights when I dream about my childhood, just hoping to be a normal couple with her."

I bowed my head and looked at the three hands overlapping each other. Then look closely at the Buddha necklace on the wrists of the Emperor and Ta An. Suddenly I understood, who was the person Ta An really wanted to accept as his mother? Thinking of this, I suppressed my disgust, withdrew my hand, smiled and said:

"In that case, if the Emperor decides to name the eldest prince under my name, it would be better to make him a Crown Prince."

“Doing two things at the same time, while saving the treasury, is also considered a double joy.”

My words hit the king's heart. He immediately issued a decree and ordained Ta An as Crown Prince. The noble lady got mad and ran into my palace:

"Trieu Thuc Nha, because you want a son, you don't even need your life anymore!"

“Have you forgotten how you died in your previous life?”

“When Ta An had no power, you could still live for a few days, now he is the Crown Prince, you just wait to die.”

“I'm waiting to die.” I slowly put down the tea cup:

“It's just, my fake death — was just the opening act.”

On that day, I will bring the person Ta An really wants to accept as his mother in front of everyone.

“Lead?”

“Who are you going to bring out?”

The noble lady widened her beautiful eyes:

“Could it be Ly Quy Nhan, or Lan Dap?”

"No way, they are of low rank and lowly origin, how could Ta An agree?"

“Let's stop fighting between sisters, how can you send someone else to die for you?”

I shook my head. You continue to guess:

“Could it be the Queen Mother?”

“Trieu Thuc Nha, your courage is too big, you dare to let Ta An and the emperor be on equal footing.”

“This is a great rebellion, the Queen Mother will definitely break your legs!”

I still shake my head. The noble lady burst into tears:

"Could it be me? Trieu Thuc Nha, your heart is so cruel!"

“Even though I fought with you for ten years, it was only to entertain the palace, and I never intended to take your life.”

"And yet you want me to die for you!"

I definitely covered her mouth. Gently whisper a name in her ear. That person truly satisfied all of Ta An's requirements. It's just a pity that that person has everything, only lacks power, and cannot help Ta An ascend to the throne. Reluctantly, Ta An targeted me and Quy Phi, hoping to borrow our power to take the throne. But two lives ago, the unjust deaths of me and the Noble Concubine were also related to that person. Ta An claimed to be discreet. But that statue, along with the Buddha necklace in his hand, still betrayed him. The king's words: "I just want to go back to my childhood and live the rest of my life with you," making me even more certain of my guess. After all, I am ten years younger than the emperor. Is there such a thing as "childhood together"? Noble Concubine's face changed after hearing that person's name. Then she laughed bitterly:

“Sure enough, the king doesn't care about you, nor does he care about me.”

“You and I fought all our lives, but in the end we were just a background for others.”

I helped her wipe away her tears, signaling her to follow my plan. The day Ta An was appointed Crown Prince, I personally wrote his name into the royal family tree. Ta An held the crown prince seal in his hand. His eyes looked at me briefly killing intent. Then he smiled gently again:

“Mother, today I want to go back to your palace to chat, so you can relax.”

“I hope that the mother can fulfill my filial piety.”

All the officials praised Ta An for being filial and sympathetic. I also smiled and nodded. Only I know, at this time my Trieu Duong palace was surrounded by Ta An's people. Ta An couldn't wait anymore. He deliberately used an excuse to take me back to the palace. As long as I return, he will break all my bones and bones and burn me alive, pretending to be sick and die. But when I saw the small palanquin being brought into my palace... I couldn't help but smile. Good son, today my mother also has a gift to give you. This gift will definitely make you satisfied.

I will not return to Trieu Duong Palace. But go to Lam Tinh's house and chat with the royal concubines. Discussing the gentle ladies in the capital, who is suitable to be the Crown Princess. Less than half an hour later, the eunuch's heart-wrenching scream was heard outside.

“It's on fire! It's on fire!”

“The Trieu Duong palace is on fire, the Queen is still in there!”

“Hurry and save people!”

Just as we expected.
