Chapter 12 — On the Snowy Night of Bereavement, I Used the Golden Token of Immunity to Overturn the Whole Family

Dignity and face... have long been a matter of a past life. While cleaning the toilet, the old lady accidentally slipped and fell, breaking her leg. There was no one to take care of her. She kept lying in that dirty place for a day and a night. It wasn't discovered until the next day. The leg was completely disabled. The remaining half of his life can only lie in bed, making friends with feces and urine. I visited her once. She lay on the bed, her face like ash, her eyes empty. When he saw me, a flicker of hatred finally appeared in those empty eyes. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to curse me. But what came out were only "wheezing" sounds like a bellows torn in the wind. Her throat had long been hoarse from the days of constantly crying and screaming. I looked at her, smiling slightly.

“Auntie, a few days ago someone sent a letter.”

“She said… she missed her very much.”

The old lady's body suddenly trembled violently. A flash of fear flashed in his eyes. She... is scared. She was afraid that I would take her to the Thai Pho palace. With her current appearance, once she was taken to that extremely wealthy palace... it would only make her life more painful than death.

“Don't worry.”

I bent down, leaned close to her ear, and spoke softly.

“I won't let you leave this place.”

“I will let you… live a hundred years.”

"Let you... see with your own eyes, the old family that you were once proud of will rot little by little, until the very end."

I saw the hatred in her eyes... replaced by deeper despair. I was satisfied and turned around to leave. Co Canh Minh, still alive. Or to be more precise… his body was still alive. Since the time I stimulated him before, he had gone completely crazy. Don't eat, don't drink, don't speak, don't move. All day long, I just cower in the darkest corner of the study room. Like a forgotten piece of dry wood. I won't let anyone take care of him. But he deliberately... couldn't die. Relying on that weak survival instinct, I tried to hold my breath. Perhaps... even God felt that letting him die so easily... was too cheap for him. That day, Phuc Bo rushed to find me. His expression... was more serious than ever.

“Miss.”

He brought a secret envelope before me.

“It's been looked up.”

My heart suddenly sank. We open the letter. The content of the letter... confirmed the most terrifying speculation in my heart. That year my father died in battle... it was not an accident. It's… a conspiracy. There was someone in the court who colluded with foreign enemies and sold out his father's military secrets. That's why his father and 30,000 Hua family soldiers were surrounded in Ho Lo Coc... in the end, the entire army died, and no one survived. But the person who revealed the military information... The letter only wrote two words.

—— Thai Pho.

In my head... it was like thunder exploded. I clenched the letter in my hand, my nails almost digging into my palm. It turns out... that's it. It turns out... it's like that again! Thai Pho, because he wanted to eliminate my father - the main enemy in the court. He did not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies and bury thirty thousand soldiers' lives! But Co Canh Minh... was the chess piece he pushed out, used to reassure me, to fascinate me! A person... plotted every step of the way at the royal court. Someone... used fake love in the backyard to tie me up. Turning me into a stupid person... only knowing love, completely unaware of the world outside. Or for one Incredible chess game! Or let's kill two birds with one stone! A mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted out from my mouth. Dye the white snow on the ground red.

“Miss!”

Phuc Bo was so scared that he quickly stepped forward to help me. I waved my hand, signaling that I was okay. I just... hate. Hate my own stupidity, hate myself for being blind. I actually love someone... who is an accomplice in the murderous feud! I actually gave birth to children and took care of the family for him! The ancestors of our Hua family... if there was a sacred place in the nine springs, how disappointing it would be! I wiped away the blood from the corner of my mouth, my voice was cold and decisive like never before.

“Prepare the car.”

“Miss, where do you want to go?”

“Go to Dai Ly Temple.”

Phuc Bo was stunned.

"You want to go... denounce the Crown Prince?"

I shook my head, madness burning everything in my eyes.

“I want to go…confess myself.”

Phuc Bo was frightened: "Miss! You are crazy! What are you confessing to?!" I looked at him and said word by word:

“I want to go talk to Dai Ly Tu Khanh.”

“I, Hua Tri Y, abused and massacred the family members of court officials, driving crazy a court official.”

“I am a heinous crime.”

“I want them to put me in a heavenly prison.”

Phuc Bo doesn't understand. He doesn't know why we do that. But we understand better than anyone. Thai Pho's power is immense and his foundation is deep. Just relying on a secret letter, I can't overthrow him at all. You can even beat a snake into the grass, causing yourself to fall into a lifetime of invincibility. We cannot be stubborn.
