I laughed coldly. Unintended fire? In this world. How could there be such an unexpected coincidence? Last night I caused the Queen to suffer a great loss. Today, Tinh Vuong Palace's industry was in trouble. This is retaliation. It is also a warning from the Second Prince to me. For Tinh Vuong Palace. They don't dare to openly attack us. Immediately switch to attack from these places. Want to use that method. Little by little, it erodes the power of Tinh Vuong Palace. Cut off our resources.

"Your Highness, this matter absolutely cannot be ignored!"

Trieu Phong said angrily.

"We cannot swallow this anger!"

"Of course I won't let that go."

I put down the tea cup. His eyes instantly turned cold.

"They struck first."

"Then don't blame us for being rude."

"Trieu Phong."

"There are subordinates."

"You immediately send someone to investigate."

"In the name of the Second Prince, what assets are there?"

"Especially assets that cannot be exposed to light."

"The investigation is clearly completed."

"There's no need to tell me."

I look at him. Slowly emphasize each word.

"He burned down one of our stores."

"You have to make him."

"Ten times the return."

Fire immediately flared up in Trieu Phong's eyes. He received his order. Stroll back out. Thanh Lam looked at me. There was some worry in his eyes.

"Your Highness, if we do this, we and the Second Prince will completely turn each other's faces."

"The thing called face."

I picked up the cup of tea. Gently blow hot air.

"From the moment the Queen presented the Hongmen Banquet."

"It's completely torn apart."

"Dealing with wolves, as long as you reveal even half of your weakness, they will immediately rush in and gnaw you until there are no bones left."

"Only if you are crueler than them, stronger than them, beat them to fear, beat them to disability."

"They just understand that there are people who are not people they can mess with."

At that moment, a guard hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Reporting to the Princess, the big camp stationed on the outskirts of the capital has an urgent dispatch eight hundred miles away. The Prince sent a letter back."

My heart suddenly jumped. Tieu Huyen Than sent a letter? The guard respectfully presented an envelope sealed with wax. I received the letter. There were only a few lines on the paper. Dragon and phoenix pen strokes danced, strongly penetrating the surface of the paper. Just like his personality. Full of dominance and sharpness.

"This king already knows about the palace banquet."

"She did very well."

"That phoenix brooch, suits her very well."

"The second prince does not need to be afraid. If he dares to stretch his hand, it will be fine to cut it off."

"Five days later, this king will return."

Read the words on the letter. In my heart. Don't understand why. Gradually peace returned. The phrase "it's okay to cut it off." There is a strength and confidence that makes others feel extremely reassured. As for the phrase "that phoenix brooch, it suits her very well." Again like a feather. Gently passing through the top of my heart. Evoking a strange numb feeling. On my face. Suddenly a very faint smile appeared. I carefully folded the letter. Then put it in your sleeve. I stood up. Walk to the window. Look at the sycamore tree with lush branches and leaves in the yard. My eyes. Once again becoming steadfast and sharp. Tieu Huyen Than. You can rest assured. Before you return. I will replace you. Keep this house well maintained. Who dares to touch it even a little bit? I will make that person. Must pay with blood. Second prince? I also want to check it out. Your claws. How hard is it? This counterattack. It's only just begun. The second prince burned down one of my shops. That was both retaliation and a warning. He thought that I would be like other ordinary women, hiding in Tinh Vuong Palace and crying, or waiting for Tieu Huyen Than to return and stand up for me. He thought that this would be the end of this matter, taking the loss of Tinh Vuong Palace as the ending. He was wrong. I, Tan Thu, have never been one to swallow the truth in silence. He dared to stretch his claws once. I will make him pay his entire arm. The next three days. On the surface, the capital is still peaceful as usual. Everyone thought that Tinh Vuong Palace would choose to endure and swallow their anger. Anyway, King Tinh was not present. A new Princess Tinh like me. So what trouble can it make? They didn't know. An invisible net. Under my arrangement. It was quietly spread out. Trieu Phong works extremely effectively. Less than two days. A thick file has been placed on my notebook. There are detailed notes inside. All of the assets that could not be exposed to the light of the Second Prince in the capital. Loan sharking. One thing at a time. It's enough to make him drink a whole lot.

"Your Highness, everything has been investigated clearly."
