Chapter 13 — On the Snowy Night of Bereavement, I Used the Golden Token of Immunity to Overturn the Whole Family

We must find the sharpest weapon... that can put him to death. And that weapon... is located in the darkest and dirtiest place in the world.

—— Heavenly prison.

That place held countless political enemies and unjust souls pushed into it by the Thai Pho's own hands. In their hands... they definitely hold evidence of his death. We have to go in there. We must pull them up one by one... from hell. We must let them become blades in our hands. I have to let the Thai Deputy... taste the taste of having his family ruined and his reputation ruined! This chess game… he has been playing for ten years. But now... it's my turn to be the one holding the chess pieces. In front of the gate of Dai Ly Tu, a pair of hundred-year-old stone lions, in the cold morning air, appear chillingly majestic. I wore the simplest blue cloth shirt, without any jade hairpins on my head, bare face without makeup, step by step... going up the ninety-nine steps. Phuc Bo walked behind me, his eyes were red, but he didn't say a word. He understands me. You know, the road we're on... is not the road of death. It's a path... going to hell, then from hell, killing back. Dai Ly Tu Khanh, Sir Tran, personally came to see me. When he saw me like this, with the empty road behind him, his eyes were filled with surprise and incomprehension.

“Madam, this person is……”

I am not polite to you. I went straight to the main street, facing the sign "Ming Kinh Cao Huyen", straightened my back and knelt down.

"Civilian Hua Tri Y, come here... confess."

My voice clearly echoed in the empty hall. The surprise on Lord Tran's face immediately turned into horror.

"Madam! What are you talking about! Get up quickly!"

He wanted to step forward to help me, but I avoided him.

"Lord Tran, you are a court official, in charge of the world's prisons, you must know the strictness of the law."

"As a lady of fate, I blatantly detained the family members of court officials, making them crazy and disabled, that is the first crime."

"I abused private status, ordered my servants, and beat and scolded the servants in the Co Dong palace, causing them to be injured and disabled. That is the second crime."

"I disregarded morality and ordered my elder mother, my mother, to work in an unclean place, causing her to seriously injure her leg. This is great filial piety, it is the third crime."

One by one, I will list out my own "sins" clearly and concisely. Every time I say another crime, Lord Tran's face turns whiter. By the time I finished speaking, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Madam! No way! Absolutely no way!"

He was in such a hurry that he stomped his feet.

"Your Majesty has a feeling of guilt towards you! The things you did to the Co family, Your Majesty... were tacitly approved! These things cannot be brought out, and even more so, you cannot be blamed for them!"

“Tacit permission?”

I raised my head, looked at him, and smiled. That smile, mournful but determined.

"My father, Hua Kieu, was a loyal patriot all his life, devoted to the country. What he kept was the Dharma of Dai Zhou."

“Now, your daughter has become someone who can stand above the law.”

“Lord Tran, tell me, is this the funniest thing in the world?”

Lord Tran was asked so much that he was speechless. You know, my mind is made up. I use my father's honor and loyalty the whole Hua family, erected before him, as well as before the emperor, a moral chain that could not be escaped. If you don't punish me, it will be tolerating favoritism, breaking the law, and disappointing people. If you punish me, you will anger Long Nhan again. He fell into a dilemma. After a long time, he let out a tired sigh.

“Madam… you… have to be like that.”

“This is… my only path.”

I bowed my head heavily before him.

“Please sir, proceed according to public law.”

“Put me… in prison… in heaven.”

The last two words, I said very seriously. Lord Tran's whole body was shocked, as if he had understood something, but it seemed like he still didn't understand it completely. He just looked at me deeply, his eyes containing countless complex emotions. There is pity, there is admiration, more than that, there is a helpless sadness.

“Where are you?”

Finally, he gave the command in a low voice.

"Bring... the guilty woman, Hua Thi, temporarily imprisoned in heaven, waiting for the divine edict to decide."

Cold chains locked my wrists tightly. I did not protest at all. Before being escorted away by the two guards, I turned around and looked at Phuc Bo one last time.

“The old slave is here.”

“Family matters, leave everything to you.”

"Also, all the property in my name, from today, will be sold off at half price."

A bright light flashed in Phuc Bo's eyes. He nodded heavily.

“Old slave… I understand.”

I know, you understand. I will use all of this immense wealth... to stir up the frozen capital's chess board. I want to make those hungry wolves... smell blood. I want to let the Thai Deputy know, Hua Tri My intention... is not a piece of fish for anyone to carve. It was a giant block of rock... strong enough to drag him, along with his entire family, into deep water. The prison door, behind me, slowly closed. Cut off the light. Also cut off... my entire past. From now on, I am no longer the head of Tran Quoc Cong palace. I am no longer the wife of the Co family anymore. I am just someone who crawled out of hell, an avenger.
