Chapter 4 — Mother's Throne

Updated 10/08/2026 5 min read

After gaining the position of Crown Prince, Ta An immediately took action against me. I reassured the ladies, then led them to Trieu Duong palace. Outside the palace was full of guards fighting the fire. The national teacher stood next to Ta An. He worriedly said:

“Your Highness was just registered as the Queen, but the Queen burned to death in the palace.”

"It's enough to see that His Highness is the son of heaven's destiny. The Queen could not obey the destiny of heaven, so she encountered such a disaster."

“If Your Highness doesn't appoint someone else to be your nanny, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos.”

Ta An pretended to be worried:

“According to the national teacher, what should we do now?”

The national teacher raised his head to look at the heavenly phenomenon.

“Master Hue Tam at Dai Hung Pagoda is highly virtuous, His Highness can take her into the palace and honor her as her foster mother.”

“Pray for Buddha's blessing.”

“It also makes the Queen feel at ease in nine streams.”

I smiled coldly. One sing, one chant, extremely well coordinated. It also makes me confirm that I guessed correctly. Two lives ago, Ta An killed me and Quy Phi. It is the excuse that we cannot suppress the emperor's destiny. To have an excuse to bring Master Hue Tam into the palace. Ta An is still pretending to be president:

"But the mother still doesn't know whether she lives or dies, how can I accept someone else as my mother?"

Under the constant advice of Kham Thien Giam. Ta An pretended to be helpless:

“Then prepare a small palanquin to welcome the monk into the palace.”

"It's just that after entering the palace, the monk is not allowed to meet anyone, and can only recite sutras for his mother every day."

Can't meet anyone? Obviously because that monk couldn't show up.

“No need, no need to pick it up.” I pushed my way out of the crowd:

“The monk has already been brought into the palace by this palace.”

Ta An looked at me, the surprise in his eyes instantly turned into joy. He rushed to my side, pretending to care:

“Mother, are you okay?”

“You just said the monk has entered the palace, so where is she?”

I nodded, pointing to the burning place:

“Today the palace invited the monk to come and pray for your child's blessing. The monk is currently in the Trieu Duong palace.”

"Where are you, come quickly and save the monk!"

Ta An's face immediately darkened. He looked at the burning palace in panic, his heart burning like fire. But when the guard tried to save people, he himself stopped him. He gritted his teeth and said:

“No need to save anymore, just a nun.”

“Wait until it burns out, the fire will go out.”

“Live or die, it depends on her fate.”

After speaking, he looked at me with cruel eyes. No more fake smiles. He quietly moved his lips to me:

“You miscalculated.”

“If she dies, no one will be able to see her face, nor will they know her true identity.”

My heart trembled slightly. I know Ta An has a stubborn heart. But he did not expect that in order to keep the Crown Prince position, he could even kill his biological mother. Because Ta An ordered to stop it, no one dared to rescue the fire anymore. At midnight, the Trieu Duong palace burned down, the fire gradually extinguished. The guard carried out a charred body from inside. Ta An stared at the body, clenching his lips. Eyes red as if about to cry. But when he saw his face burned beyond recognition, he breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered the body to be quickly brought to Dai Hung Pagoda for burial. Right at this moment, the Noble Concubine appeared. She gently said:

“Your Majesty, why haven't you thanked me yet?”

“It was I who saved Master Hue Tam Thai replaces you.”

“I just don't know which virtuous guy would seriously injure her.”

“If she hadn't crawled out of your palace, I wouldn't have recognized it.”

Hearing that, Ta An just finished breathing a sigh of relief and his face immediately turned pale.

Ta An is, after all, just a teenager. No matter how many plans and how cruel he is, when he is afraid, he will still reveal his flaws. On the bench behind Noble Concubine, there was a woman lying. That woman was wearing a queen's gown. The wig on his head fell off, revealing his bald head. And her face - has eight parts similar to mine. When her face was revealed, Thanh Vuong Phi screamed loudly. Ta An instinctively stepped forward to cover her face. But Thanh Vuong Phi had already noticed. She trembled and pointed at the woman:

“Is this Master Hue Tam?”

“No… that's not right! This is the fairy queen! It's the fairy queen Co Ky Ngoc!”

“Wasn't she buried with the emperor fifteen years ago? Why did you appear here?”

“Could it be that… there is a ghost?”

“What a ghost!” I smiled coldly: "It's natural for her to appear here."

“After all, today is the day her son is ordained as Crown Prince, she still wants to come back and taste the taste of being a royal queen.”

Co Ky Ngoc was the queen of the first emperor. Also the late sister-in-law of the current emperor. That year, she was not buried with the emperor, but quietly changed her identity and entered Dai Hung pagoda to become a monk. Over the years, she hid herself in the temple, only the emperor was the only person who could see her. Today, I borrowed Ta An's name and said I wanted to help her become queen again. She became greedy and immediately followed the eunuch back to the palace. Bright and righteous moved into Trieu Duong palace. As for why she was seriously injured... It was because she wore my clothes and I gave her mute medicine.
