Chapter 12 — Pregnant Exterior Forced to Confess, Queen Mother Only Says Two Words: Husband

"Remember, if something changes, no matter what the cost, you must preserve my life."

“If we encounter something unexpected…”

I stopped for a moment and took out two envelopes from my chest. One envelope is sent to the royal brother. Another order was sent to Marquis Trung Dung, who guarded the north gate of the citadel.

“Take these two envelopes and hand them over one after another.”

"The Marquis of Trung Dung is the emperor's father's former minister. As a loyal person, when he sees the letter, he will naturally know what to do."

The guard leader received the letter, knelt down on one knee, his voice resounding like iron and steel.

"I swear by my life to protect the princess!"

After arranging the retreat, I began to think about how I should respond tomorrow at An Vuong Palace. Hard against hard, absolutely not possible. King An's palace was heavily guarded. The number of people they brought with them was probably not enough for them to cover their teeth. You can only... use your mind. We need a chance. An opportunity can make us turn guests into masters and take the initiative. One card can make King An hesitate and not dare to act recklessly. My eyes stopped on that secret book. This secret book is my protective talisman. But at the same time, it is also a barrel of explosives, which can explode at any time. If I brought the secret book directly, King An would not hesitate to kill me at any cost. We definitely have to change another way. A way that can both make him wary and not make him immediately jump out at the fence. In my head, a big secret plan gradually formed. The next morning, I changed into a gorgeous outfit. The palace is golden in color, highlighting my noble and majestic temperament. I looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes determined. Chieu Duong, you are no longer a pitiful person, just being treated like a chess piece. You are the eldest princess of Dai Liang. She is the most noble woman in this world. Anyone who dares to hurt you or hurt your loved ones will have to pay the price in blood. I brought along my guards, got on the carriage, and headed to An royal palace. An Vuong's Palace is located in the most prosperous part of the capital. In front of the palace gate, traffic was bustling, guests were like clouds. The people who came to wish him longevity were all famous and influential figures in the capital. It seems that An Vuong's personality is indeed not ordinary. We get off the car. Crown Prince An, who is also my younger brother, Ly Khiem, immediately had a smile on his face and quickly walked out to greet him.

“Sister Hoang, you have finally arrived.”

“Father is inside, he has mentioned you several times already.”

He has a handsome appearance, a gentle temperament, and a gentle smile. At first glance, he looks like a heartless, wealthy gentleman. Who would have thought that he and his seemingly leisurely father were the ones behind everything.

“Let the royal uncle and the crown prince wait for a long time.”

I looked at him and smiled slightly. The smile was dignified, but carried a faint distance. Under the guidance of Ly Khiem, we entered An Vuong palace. In the palace, the cross beams are exquisitely carved, the motifs are splendid and luxurious to the extreme. Guests gathered in small groups, raised their cups to drink, the atmosphere of singing and dancing was peaceful, bustling and prosperous. An Vuong sat on the chair, chatting happily with several relatives. Looking at him, he still looked like he was indifferent to life, always smiling as usual. Seeing me enter, he immediately stood up, raised his hand and waved at me.

“Chieu Duong is here, come here quickly, sit next to your royal uncle.”

His attitude was enthusiastic and friendly, just like a gentle and kind elder. If I hadn't known the truth long ago, I'm afraid I would have really been fascinated by his hypocritical face. I walked over and bowed to him.

“Seeking the royal uncle.”

"If you're a family, there's no need to be too polite."

An Vuong helped me up and let me sit down next to him. It is an extremely noble and eye-catching position. Everyone's eyes, in an instant, were focused on him. I know, this is his intention. He wanted everyone to see with their own eyes that I - Princess Chieu Duong - was on the same side as him. Three weeks of drinking passed, and the singing and dancing gradually subsided. An Vuong raised his wine cup, stood up, turned to all the guests in the palace, and said loudly:

"Today is my child's birthday, thank you for your kindness in attending."

“This King, I would like to give you a cup.”

Everyone stood up and raised their cups in return. After drinking this cup of wine, An Vuong did not sit down. He put down the wine cup, his eyes slowly, little by little, falling on me.

“Today, in addition to being my child's birthday.”

“My king, there is something more important that I want to announce to you.”

As soon as his words ended, the whole hall became quiet. Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity. My heart tightened slightly. Drama… is about to open.
