Chapter 4 — Phoenix Returns From The Border

"Minh Chau is the daughter of the Quoc Cong palace! She grew up in the Khuong family, she is the daughter of the Khuong family!" I laughed. "In the Khuong family, can I have the Khuong family name?" "So in the past, this palace was sold into a barracks, shouldn't I also have the No name?" Lieu Thanh La choked. Khuong Hoai An finally spoke. "Your Highness the Queen." His voice was hoarse. "Just a few delirious words from a crazy old woman cannot condemn Tran Quoc Cong Palace." I raised my hand. Bich Ha brought up an old box. The box was opened, inside was half of a blackened golden lock. On the back of the lock is engraved a small word "Sugar". As soon as several elders of the Khuong family saw that thing clearly, their faces immediately changed. That's the lock my mother personally prepared for her daughter before she gave birth. Khuong Hoai An also noticed. Because my mother showed it to him a long time ago. She said, if she gives birth to a daughter, she will name her Khuong Duong. I threw the golden lock down in front of him. "Khuong Quoc Cong, do you still recognize it?" He stared at half of the golden lock, his throat moving slightly. I took out a yellowed contract. "This is a record of a child abandoned at the Giang Nam wharf twenty years ago." "Girl, in her diaper there is half a golden lock, with the word 'Tang' engraved on the lock." "At the age of thirteen, she was sold back to a border camp." I handed the contract to the inner lady. "Pass it on for everyone to see." The paper was only half passed, and no one in the palace dared to speak up. Lieu Thanh La still refused to admit it. "Fake! Everything is fake!" "The Queen wants to harm us, of course she can create any fake evidence!" An elderly uncle of the Khuong family also knelt down. In his hand, he still held the contract, his knuckles were pale. "Your Majesty, gold locks can be faked, contracts can also be supplemented." "Just based on these things, it cannot be said that the queen has the bloodline of the Khuong family." I looked at him. "There is an old story in the Khuong family, don't you know?" The uncle's face changed slightly. I raised my hand. "Please, Mother Tong." Outside the palace gate, a silver-haired mother was helped in. Several elders of the Khuong family raised their heads at the same time. Mother Song is an old person who used to serve my maternal grandmother. After her maternal grandmother passed away, she left the Khuong family to live in a hermitage. For twenty years, no one could invite her. When Mother Song knelt down, her voice was still steadfast. "This old slave pays homage to His Majesty, the Queen." I looked at her. "Mom, do you remember the mark on Khuong Thi's daughter?" Mother Song raised her head. "Remember." "There is a red birthmark behind Mrs. Quoc Cong's shoulder, which did not appear until she was eighteen years old." "When Miss Lenh Nghi was eighteen years old, a mark also appeared on her body." "That's what the old lady once said. is a birthmark in the bloodline of the Khuong family's daughter." Khuong Minh Chau suddenly tightened her sleeves. I looked at her. "Miss Khuong, do you have anything on you?" Khuong Minh Chau opened her mouth. Lieu Thanh La immediately stood in front of her. "How can a daughter's pure body be inspected right in the middle of the main hall?" I laughed. "This palace doesn't need to check her in the middle of the main hall." The female official held up a scroll of paintings. I raised my hand and opened it. On the scroll is a red birthmark behind my shoulder. Next to it, there were also the signatures and fingerprints of three female doctors from the Thai Medicine House. "When I was eighteen years old, this birthmark appeared on the back of my shoulder." "Your Majesty ordered the female doctor to check, then invited Mother Song to come and see." I looked at the Khuong family uncle. "Golden locks can be faked, contracts can be faked." "Can the bloodline mark of Khuong Thi's daughter also be faked?" The contract fell from the uncle's hand. land. He knelt down,

Her voice trembled. "Khuong Thi was not filial and let her true blood wander outside for twenty years." There was an immediate stir in the palace. Khuong Minh Chau fell to the ground. Lieu Thanh La finally panicked. "What does this prove?" "Even if the queen has a mark on her body, it cannot prove that Minh Chau is not a daughter of the Khuong family!" I looked at her. "What's the hurry?" "Still." Outside the palace gate, two forbidden soldiers pulled in an old servant. As soon as the old servant entered the palace, he collapsed to the ground. When he saw his face clearly, Khuong Hoai An finally couldn't stand. "Trieu Trung?" The old servant knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. "Quoc Cong, the slave can't hide anymore." "In the past, the carriage to take the child was arranged by the slave." "Lady Lieu gave the slave silver, the Quoc Cong gave the slave a token." Khuong Hoai An suddenly rushed forward. "Shut up!" The ban immediately stopped. Lieu Thanh La still bit her to death and refused to accept it. The old servant bowed his head and shouted: "The slave still has the token from that year!" "The Duke was afraid that the slave would be inspected on the road, so he personally gave the token from Tran Quoc Cong's palace to the slave!" The inner lady presented the token. The elders of the Khuong family only took one look and their faces turned pale. "This is a demon card with the private seal of an immortal nation." "Only the family head in the palace can use it."
