Chapter 12 — On the Wedding Night, I Personally Gave the Wedding Bed to My Sister
"Say it." "I want Marquis..." "Help me overthrow someone." "Who?" I looked at him. Slowly said word by word: "Dear Prime Minister." "Tham Tong An." 18 On Murong Triet's face, for the first time, a look of surprise appeared. Perhaps he did not expect that my target was his biological father. He observed me for a long time, then slowly opened his mouth. "The fierce tiger didn't even eat its cub. Tham Thanh Nguyet, you are even more cruel than I imagined." "Too much praise." I still didn't change my face. "Master Marquis only needs to answer me, do or not do this transaction." Murong Triet was silent. I know he's weighing the pros and cons. Overthrowing a Prime Minister is no small matter. This was enough to shake the very foundations of the nation. But at the same time, if successful, he and the Tran Bac Hau government behind him will also gain political benefits so great that it is hard to imagine. A long time passed. He then spoke up. "Let's talk." "But I need to know your plan." I smiled. "Then Marquis will know." I told him where the military layout map was hidden. And he left the solution for me. I looked at that small porcelain vase, with some complicated emotions rising in my heart. I never thought of it. This poisonous thing that I killed with my own hands... actually has an antidote. But... That's no longer important. Tieu Canh Duc is dead. For me, the only use of this antidote... is to prove Murong Triet's sincerity. The alliance between me and Murong Triet. Just like that, it was formed. We are the same type of people. Because the goal is achieved. Can defy all tricks. The relationship between us. Not friends. Not even an enemy. Which is the most dangerous type of relationship. Ally. The days that followed. I began to quietly collect evidence of my father's crime. This is much more difficult than collecting evidence of Tieu Canh Duc's crime. Tham Tong An is a cunning person. Work discreetly without leaving any loopholes. We can only start from the people next to you. I used the makeup shop as a front and made friends with many female relatives of mandarins. From their stories. We gradually pieced together a lot of useful information. I also bribed a concubine next to my father. That concubine came from a lowly background. For many years, he was always oppressed by the government. My heart has long been filled with resentment. I give you the glory and wealth that you desire. And her. Then become the most important eyes and ears that I install next to my father. Everything. Everything is proceeding smoothly according to our plan. Until one day. Someone we didn't expect at all. Found my lipstick store. It's Hua Yen Nhien. She looked extremely haggard. Both eyes were red. It was clear that he had been crying for a long time. "Thanh Nguyet..." Just saw me. Tears immediately fell from her eyes. "I... I really have no other way to go..." "Can you..." "Can you help me..." 19I took Hua Yen Nhien into the interior of the store. After a while of questioning, we found out the end of the story. Something happened to An Quoc Cong Palace. Hua Yen Nhien's father, An Quoc Cong, was investigated for having an affair with the deposed Crown Prince, intending treason. Currently, An Quoc Cong's palace has been confiscated, the men have been thrown into prison, and the women are all under house arrest. Because Hua Yen Nhien was married, she was lucky to escape. But her husband's family, in order to clear the relationship with An Quoc Cong palace, actually wanted to retire her. "How could they do that..." Hua Yen Nhien cried so much that she couldn't make a sound. "I gave birth to their family's children and took care of the housework, but as soon as something happened, they immediately..." I gave her a handkerchief, but in my heart, I
same clarity. This is the kind of love, people's hearts are warm and cold. "Yen Nhien, don't cry, who... is reporting this matter?" "It's... your father, Prime Minister Tham." My heart suddenly sank. Indeed it is you. Tham Tong An and An Quoc Cong, one from the royalist faction, the other from the Crown Prince faction, have always been bitter rivals. This time... It was Tham Tong An who won. Hua Yen Nhien raised her head to look at me, her eyes carrying a hint of pleading. "Thanh Nguyet, I know that you are now very loved by Prime Minister Tham, can you... can you go and beg him? Save my father, save An Quoc Cong's palace..." I looked at her innocent face, and for a moment I didn't know what to say. Pray? Treason is a serious crime. Who stands up to beg? That person is a fellow party member.
