Chapter 3 — Poisonous Medicine Cup

"Your Majesty, the Queen, it's just that a few of my cousins and my sisters had a slight misunderstanding in their words and shocked the cross, it was my fault." With just one sentence, she was able to extricate herself halfway. While admitting there is a conflict, gently turn everything into a "misunderstanding". The Emperor's eyes followed her words and fell on him. "This is the eldest daughter of the To family who was just found?" Father Su quickly bowed his head: "That's right. This little girl has been outside for a long time and doesn't understand the rules. After returning, I will definitely teach you strictly." After listening, I just wanted to laugh. The Emperor hadn't said anything yet, he hastily dismissed the relationship. To Yen bowed her head, the corners of her lips moved so slightly that it was hard to see. Like laughing. But right after that, the Emperor did not answer Su's words, but instead looked at the Third Prince. "Old Tam, why is your face so unsightly?" The Third Prince's body stiffened. The whole person looked like someone had just stabbed him from behind. When he raised his head, the cold sweat on his forehead had not yet disappeared. He reluctantly smiled and said: "I... I'm okay." The Emperor looked at him for two breaths, obviously not believing. The Crown Prince also turned his eyes to look over, with a questioning look in his eyes. The third prince did not dare to look at me. Since the Emperor entered the palace, he deliberately avoided looking at me, as if if he didn't look, that nightmarish memory would not be revealed. But the more he did so, the more guilty he became. The Queen looked at his face and also glanced at me. "Miss To family, raise your head." I slowly raised my eyes. The torches in the temple were so bright that no one could escape. The moment she saw my face clearly, the Queen's expression did not change, only the Crown Prince frowned slightly, as if suddenly remembering something. The Third Prince's face was completely pale. He clenched his palms, his knuckles were blue and purple, like he was trying to suppress something. The Emperor also noticed something unusual, his eyes became darker. "Old Tam, do you know her?" As soon as these words ended, even the sound of breathing around him became quieter. To Yen suddenly raised her head. Miss Luong and the others also looked towards the Third Prince. At this point, they finally realized that everything was much more serious than they thought. The Third Prince's lips moved, but he did not immediately speak. Of course he recognized me. But if he admitted it, it would be like he openly admitted that in the past he had suffered greatly at the hands of a girl, and even almost lost his life. He couldn't lose face like that. But if I don't accept... I looked at him and smiled slightly. Just this one smile caused the Third Prince's last bit of struggle to break down. He spoke almost stiffly: "Recognize...Recognize." The Emperor coldly asked: "Who is she?" Everyone in the palace looked at the Third Prince. The Third Prince's throat moved several times, as if he couldn't swallow that breath. After a long while, he forced out a sentence through his teeth. "People of Medicine Vuong Coc." Just this sentence made the faces of the people around him change several times. The three words Duoc Vuong Coc, in the eyes of the people, are saints who save people, but in the ears of nobles, it is not that simple. That place can save lives, it can also take lives. The Emperor narrowed his eyes. "Who is from Medicine King Coc?" The blue veins on the Third Prince's forehead twitched repeatedly. He doesn't want to talk. But the Emperor was watching, all he could do was speak. This time, To Yen finally started to panic. Perhaps she had guessed something, even her breathing became rapid. Miss Luong and the others turned even whiter, their eyes panicked. The entire main hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The third prince stared at the ground,

hoarse voice, carrying unconcealed fear. "She is... Nhan Thu of Duoc Vuong Coc." The moment the name fell, the palace was completely silent. To Yen's face immediately turned pale. I don't know who in the crowd trembled and said one sentence: "It's poison... poison girl!" As soon as the two words "poison girl" were spoken, the palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The blood on Miss Luong's face immediately drained away, her legs went weak, and she sat down directly on the ground. The ladies who had dared to surround To Yen and talk and laugh just now were as if they had been strangled, each of them had no blood left on their faces. To Yen stared at me, the last bit of modesty in her eyes finally broke. Of course she knew what this name meant. Swallow Book of Medicine King Coc. Can save people, can also kill people. More importantly, she just offended me just now. The Emperor squinted his eyes, his gaze sinking down on me. "You are Nhan Thu?" I closed the palm of my hand holding the Buddha beads, smiling slightly. "That's right." There was no hiding.
