Chapter 9 — Past Fairness Restored

“If you still let me be dragged away after meeting you, today your business is more than just serving tea.” The blood on the Crown Prince's face was completely wiped away. The inner lady knelt to one side and said with a trembling voice: "Before he disappeared, His Majesty was sent by His Majesty to secretly investigate the case of raising martyrs in the capital." "That day, His Highness came to the capital. He should have gone to see His Majesty first." “But His Highness has disappeared in the city.” "People in the Chieu Vuong palace's entourage died and people scattered." "I searched in the palace for three years and still had no results." Tham Hoai Chuong's forehead broke out in cold sweat. Raising martyrs. Chieu Vuong is missing. Half a piece of jade in Tham Bao Chau's hand. These things are no longer something that can be hidden behind the scenes. Tham Bao Chau suddenly cried: "It's not me." “I just picked up the jade.” “I didn't know it belonged to the Royal Family.” She turned to the Crown Prince as if holding the last piece of wood. “Crown Prince, please help me with something.” “Obviously that piece of jade was given to me by someone.” The front door once again fell into dead silence. The Crown Prince's eyes suddenly turned cold. “Tham Bao Chau, are you crazy?” Tham Bao Chau was scared by him and shrank back, then cried even more ferociously. “Didn't you say we should keep it carefully, it might come in handy later?” “The person who was still talking by the lake that day was not mentioned by anyone.” “As long as I listen, you will always protect me.” Liu Thi's whole body was shocked. Tham Hoai Chuong suddenly raised his head. Bui Nghien Chu looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief. “Your Highness.” The Crown Prince shouted: "You don't have it!" "She's so sick she's confused." "Where are you, take her home and invite the doctor!" The palace staff did not dare to move. Ta Tam Lang put two pieces of jade in his lap and slowly stood up straight. “What's the hurry, Your Highness?” "If she is sick or not, the doctor will see." "If what she said is true or false, someone will investigate." He turned his head to look at me. “Duong Am, are you tired?” I shook my head. He said seriously: "Then let's hold out a little longer." "After work, I'll take you to eat the most delicious steamed milk with sugar in the capital." “If you don't like sweets, we can buy salty cakes.” "Anyway, today's anger cannot be in vain." My nose was sour, but I still nodded vigorously. "Okay." At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard at the end of the street. A group of soldiers rushed forward quickly. The leader took the lead and turned around and dismounted in front of the Marquis Palace, holding up the bright yellow holy order with both hands. “Your Majesty has instructions.” "King Chieu returned to the capital and immediately entered the palace." “The maid Shen Duong Am of Dinh An Marquis Palace will come along.” He stopped, his eyes swept over the Crown Prince and Tham Bao Chau. "In addition, the East Palace Crown Prince, Dinh An Marquis Tham Hoai Chuong, Tham Bao Chau, all were escorted to the palace for questioning." 10 When the decree was announced, people were kneeling in front of the gate of Dinh An Marquis Palace. The wind blew through the bright yellow thread, even Tham Hoai Chuong's shoulder blades trembled. In the past, he always said that the Marquis was noble and that the family's reputation was more important than the lives of people. Now that face is right above his head, but it can't save him at all. Tham Bao Chau was limp in Lieu Thi's arms, the blood on the towel had not yet dried. She cried intermittently. “Father, mother, I don't want to go to the palace.” “My body can't stand it.” Lieu Thi instinctively hugged her tightly. "Bao Chau is sick like this, how can he be escorted to the palace?" The commander of the forbidden army has no emotions. "Your Majesty's edict, who dares to resist?" Lieu Thi's face turned white and she looked at me again. Those eyes were very familiar.
In the past, when she wanted me to give up her jewelry, to give her a favor, to give me a compliment from my father, she looked at me the same way. It's as if if I don't back down, it's being unfilial. “Duong Am.” She choked up and called me. “My sister really can't stand the torment.” “If you still have some feelings for the Marquis, please pray to the Royal Family on her behalf.” I look at her. It turns out that up to this point, the person she remembers is still Tham Bao Chau. Ta Tam Lang suddenly stepped forward to block me. “Your madam's words are interesting.” “I just told Duong Am to return to the palace because of the Marquis Palace.” "If you want Duong Am to speak now, it's still for the Marquis's sake." “If the Marquis lacks a pillar, it's better to go up the mountain to cut down trees.” “Don't chop a lady's bones all the time.” Some people in the forbidden army almost couldn't help but laugh. Lieu Thi's face was sometimes red and sometimes white. Tham Hoai Chuong angrily said: "In front of the Royal family, how can you be allowed to act arrogantly!" Ta Tam Lang looked at him. “Who are you scolding?” Tham Hoai Chuong choked. Perhaps only now did he remember that the young country man holding the rolling pin in front of him was the younger brother that His Majesty had been looking for for three years. Ta Tam Lang lowered his head to look at the rolling pin, then looked at the commander of the forbidden army. “Can this be brought into the palace?” The dominant look is a bit magical. “According to regulations, weapons are not allowed in the palace.” Ta Tam Lang is very serious. “It is not a weapon.” “Normally it is in charge of rolling the dough thin.” “Today I am temporarily in charge of measuring the thickness of the human face.” My heart was originally choking, but this sentence eased it. The commander bowed his head and coughed. "If the Royal Family wants to bring it, it's not impossible." Ta Tam Lang nodded with satisfaction. “That's good.” "He came with me from the village, so there weren't many opportunities to expand his knowledge." Bui Nghien Chu stood to the side, his eyes always falling on him. Since the edict arrived, he has not said anything more.
