Chapter 10 — On the big wedding day, the Queen Mother exchanged me for another prince

Her face immediately turned pale.

"Empress Zhao gave you a goose yellow tribute plate."

"You used it to make that dress."

"The big wedding day."

"You're wearing that dress standing in the hallway."

"The color deliberately overwhelms my happiness."

"It was all calculated in advance."

Her hand tightened. No more shaking.

"In front of His Highness the Fourth."

"You cried and said..."

'The slave does not dare to accept the bride's tea cup.'

"But in front of Queen Zhao."

"You said again..."

'This slave will definitely not fail in his mission.'

"You think..."

"Didn't a third person hear those words?"

I stood up. Finally she raised her head. The shyness on that face had completely disappeared. Instead. It's the ferocious look of someone whose camouflage skin has been stripped away.

"The princess can investigate these matters."

"What do you want to do anyway?"

"Do nothing."

I walked in front of her. Stand at eye level with her.

"I just came to tell you."

"All these years."

"You always play the role of a servant."

"But from start to finish."

"You are nothing more than a chess piece that Queen Trieu placed beside her Fourth Highness."

"The thing called..."

'Love is deep and meaningful'

"His Highness's for you."

"It's just a play arranged by Queen Trieu."

"Do you believe it or not?"

"The day will come when you are no longer worth using."

"The first person to abandon you."

"It is His Highness the Fourth."

"The one you knelt and served for eight years."

Lieu Ngam Suong's face was sometimes blue, sometimes white.

"You talk nonsense."

"Is it nonsense or not?"

"You know better in your heart than I do."

I turned around and went out. I turned my head to look at her.

"Miss Willow."

"Take care of yourself."

Leave the Fourth Prince's palace. Chung ma ma is waiting next to the carriage.

"King."

"Is that worth it?"

"She won't listen."

"I don't need her to listen."

"I just need her to panic."

"What if you panic?"

"The one who panicked."

"Will do something stupid."

"Do more stupid things."

"It's easier to expose loopholes."

Chung ma ma didn't say anything more. Just help me get on the carriage. September fifteenth. The emperor gave orders. Organize an autumn hunt on the outskirts of the capital. All the princes are in the capital. With noble princes. All names are on the list. Including Tong Hanh. This is the first time in thirteen years. The Emperor publicly put the Ninth Prince on the list before everyone. When the holy decree was transmitted to Lan Vien. Chung ma ma holds the invitation card. Flip it over and over three times.

"Your Majesty wants to personally see the Ninth Prince."

"Looks like you're really getting better."

"Or just be able to stand for a while."

From inside the room, Tong Hanh spoke. We step in.

"Your Highness, can you walk? Can your body handle it?"

"It's hard to say whether you can ride a horse or not. You can ride or not? You definitely have to go."

On the day of the hunt, it was just dawn, and the whole Lan Vien was busy. Tong Hanh changed into a cavalry outfit, a dark gray narrow short-sleeved shirt, tight at the waist and sleeves, looking so agile that he didn't look like a long-term sick person. When he turned around and got on his horse, I stood next to him and watched. The movements are decisive, seamless, completed in just one breath. Mama Chung stood behind me and said softly:

"Your Highness has known how to ride horses since he was young. For thirteen years now, every night when no one is around, You never stopped practicing."

Arriving at the hunting ground, everyone's eyes were indeed on Tong Hanh. He was riding a horse standing at the end of the line, his body was thin, his face pale, looking like just a gust of wind could blow him off his horse's back. But he still sat firmly on the horse's back, not moving at all. Tong Duc rode a red apple-colored Dai Uyen horse. When passing by Tong Hanh, he immediately reined in.

"Ninth brother, long time no see. The wind is strong today, if your body can't stand it, why not go inside the tent to rest, don't be reluctant."

His voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone around to hear. Several young descendants of the clan also laughed along. Tong Hanh looked at him.

"Thank you, Fourth Emperor, for your concern. But since I'm here, I don't intend to just sit and watch."

The horn sounded. The hunt begins. For the first half hour, Tong Hanh always walked behind the team, not fast, not slow. Tong Duc shot down three rabbits in succession and proudly ordered someone to hold up the prey for the Emperor to see.

"Father, my luck is really good today!"

The Emperor nodded slightly, his face expressionless. His eyes always rested on Tong Hanh at the end of the team. After another cup of tea passed, a roar suddenly rang out in the deep forest. Someone shouted loudly:

"Wild boar! There are wild boars!"

A black-haired wild boar rushed out from the bushes, rushing straight towards the hunting group.
