Chapter 5 — Phu Chan

I slightly raised my eyebrows. "What about after?" "Later, Tuyen Khanh Khanh was alone with the Queen for about half a moment, but the distance was too far so the subordinates could not hear what the two said. I only know that after stepping out, the Queen's attitude softened a lot." The Queen's personality. I understand too well. Outside the mouth is compassionate, inside the heart is as poisonous as a snake. In the end, what did Tuyen Khanh Khanh say that could make the angry Queen change her anger to happiness? The dark guard continued to report: "Not long after, the Queen sent her confidant out of the palace to Tran Quoc Cong's palace. Her subordinates secretly followed, discovering that the eunuch did not alarm anyone, just quietly hiding in a corner of the backyard observing." My eyes slightly sank. "What happened to the Tran Quoc Cong Palace?" "Today, the Crown Princess of the Tran Quoc Cong Palace was in labor. The delivery room was extremely chaotic. While everyone was not paying attention, one of the Crown Prince's concubines kicked and swapped the male brother that the Crown Princess had just given birth to." My pupils suddenly twitched. "Did the Queen's people intervene?" "No, he just hid from beginning to end." observing in the dark, neither helping nor stopping." I closed my eyes, thoughts spinning endlessly in my head. What does the Queen want to do? The princess gave birth prematurely, no one could have predicted that today she would go into labor. What's more, there's also been a case of rocks swapping babies. Unless... it's Tuyen Khanh Khanh. Or she really has the ability to penetrate heaven and earth, know how to tell fortunes, and see through the secrets of heaven. Or she already knew what would happen in the future. Regardless of the possibility, she is absolutely not an honest person. "Continue to monitor, and also send people to follow the child who has been swapped." The dark guard replied and then quietly disappeared. Just a few days later, news spread from the palace. The Queen personally begged Her Majesty to grant the Crown Prince and Tuyen Khanh Khanh a marriage. Just like that, Tuyen Khanh Khanh went from being an orphan with no one to rely on. One step to become the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. After the marriage is decided. Tuyen Khanh Khanh did not return to Ta palace anymore but moved directly to the palace arranged by the Queen. I am also happy to be at peace. Every day, I often talk to my mother. In my free time, I go to the temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for blessings. During that time, I also sent a concubine to the Tran Quoc Cong palace for the Princess who was still in residence. After returning. I heard that Tran Quoc Cong's palace sold a concubine. Time passed peacefully. Until two days before Luc Van Hac returned to Beijing. That night, the secret guard appeared again outside my window. "Miss, recently the Crown Prince and Queen have been purchasing and storing a large amount of food in two places, Lu Chau and Hoai Nam." The tea cup in my hand stopped. Lu Chau and Hoai Nam. These are all rich lands, food prices have always been stable. What's more, the fall harvest is coming, and new food is about to hit the market. At this time, hoarding large quantities of food is like throwing silver into the river. Unless... I tighten the window frame until my knuckles turn white. "Continue to follow them, and at the same time send people to Lu Chau and Hoai Nam to catch some sparrows for me. If they catch them, immediately choke them to death and bring them back here." "Also, send a message to my maternal family, telling them to take the opportunity to store food in the neighboring towns of Lu Chau and Hoai Nam, but absolutely not to affect the plan. people's livelihood." If you don't know what the enemy is planning, then just follow their steps. … The day Luc Van Hac returned to Beijing, the sky was blue, the wind was cool and the sun was beautiful. I did not go to the city gate to welcome him. This time

He returned to the capital to report on official duties. According to the rules, he had to go to the palace first. Anyway, there's no shortage of time. Sure enough, in the afternoon he sent someone to bring the letter. The letter said that His Majesty would keep him here for dinner and would come find me tomorrow. It was said to be tomorrow, but at night, when I opened the window to breathe air, I saw a tall man standing next to the swing. Just like that night in Jiangnan. Luc Van Hac wore a dark blue civilian outfit, with a jade pendant that I gave him on his waist. His shoulders were broad, his waist slim, and his figure was as tall as jade. I coughed softly twice. He raised his head and just met my eyes. Then he smiled. "It's been so long, you don't recognize me anymore?" I slowly observed him from top to bottom and leisurely replied: "It's gone." He is also not polite. Just a few steps, he jumped into the room, naturally poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all. "After half a year of not seeing her, she seems to have grown a little taller." "I'm already eighteen years old, how much taller?" I glanced at him. He laughed and didn't argue back. I asked him: "What did His Majesty summon you today? What did he say?" He twirled the teacup in his hand, his tone very calm. "Just a few polite words, praising me for my hard work." "That's it?" Luc Van Hac shrugged. "That's all, he didn't give me anything, just gave me a Tuyen Vuong palace, told me to temporarily move in, rest for a while and then move on." I frowned slightly. Since the emperor ascended the throne, his attitude towards Luc Van Hac has always been very subtle, not using him but not oppressing him, just coldly ignoring him. This time he called him back to the capital without assigning any position. It was clear that he did not want to let him continue to hold military power on the border, but also did not want to give him a position of real power in the capital. On the contrary, Luc Van Hac looked at things very clearly. "That's good, I can be at peace and be with her more." He said he could do it. The days that followed. A few days ago he asked me out again. Sometimes we went together to the mausoleum outside the city to ride horses.
