Chapter 15 — Pregnant Exterior Forced to Confess, Queen Mother Only Says Two Words: Husband

He muttered, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Zhong Dung Marquis is in a barracks on the outskirts of the city. Without a military talisman, he simply cannot mobilize one good soldier at a time!"

“You said, it's the soldiers and horses in the barracks on the outskirts of the city.”

I replied leisurely.

“But what he brought with him were the three thousand soldiers that my father left behind.”

"This army does not listen to military talismans, nor does it accept holy decrees."

“They… only listen to me.”

An Vuong Ly Hien's eyes immediately widened. Only now did he understand where he had lost. He calculated every possible way, but missed the most loyal force, also the most secret that the emperor left me. An Vuong Ly Hien spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body immediately collapsed. Great power is lost. He knew that he no longer had any chance of turning things around. He looked at me, his eyes filled with resentment.

“Chieu Duong, even if I lose, you can't live in peace!”

"This king... will be under the yellow stream, waiting for you!"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his chest and fiercely stabbed it straight into his heart. He... chose to commit suicide. And his fellow party members, seeing that their leader was dead, their will was even more broken, one by one they knelt down and surrendered. A palace coup that had been planned for a long time ended in such a dramatic way. I looked at An Vuong Ly Hien's body, with not even half the joy in my heart. There is only... endless sadness. Is this… the fate of the royal family? Because of that supreme position, fathers and sons quarrel, brothers turn against each other. I turned around, faced Trung Dung Hau, and bowed deeply.

“Thank you, Marquis.”

Trung Dung Hau quickly helped me up.

“Your Highness, those words are serious.”

"The last general... just serves the emperor's will and protects you."

I nodded and didn't say anything else. I walked towards the guards who had fallen to protect me. One by one, I reached out to touch their warm faces.

"You... are all good men."

“This palace will remember you.”

"Your family, this palace... will take care of you and take good care of you."

Having finished speaking, I stood up and looked towards the palace. Your Majesty, Chieu Duong... did not disappoint your expectations. I have calmed down this storm for you. From now on, in this world, no one will be able to threaten your royal position anymore. The case of An Vuong's treasonous plot shocked the whole court. The subsequent purging steps were personally presided over by the royal brother. For all officials and clan officials involved in rebellion, no one was spared and all were beheaded. In an instant, the capital above and below, blood flowed like a river. I know, the royal brother did this to establish prestige. He wanted to use thunderous tricks to tell everyone what the price would be for anyone who dared to challenge the royal power. I don't participate in that. After calming down the chaos at An Vuong Palace, I immediately called in sick and returned to the Princess Palace, closing the door and not leaving. We need time to digest all of this. It also takes time to heal the hurt in my heart. The guardians who died protecting me, their faces and smiles, still appear before my eyes often. I have welcomed all of their families back to the land, placed them in a safe and secure position, and bestowed upon them wealth and honor, enough to no longer have to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. Every family clan, I gave another token, with the code name " " engraved on it. If future descendants are in trouble, just bring the token to find me, and they will be protected and turn evil into good - as long as it is not against morality. But like that... still can't erase the feeling of guilt in my heart. Tham Thanh Ha, I gave you a cup of poisoned wine. When he died, it was very calm. No cursing, no begging. Just look at me and say one sentence:

“If there is an afterlife…let me do it again.”

I don't know if what he said was sincere or just a lie. But that... was no longer important. Lieu Van Nhi, I won't kill you. I took her to the nunnery. Let her live under the green light before Buddha, for the rest of her life, on behalf of the child about to be born, and also on behalf of herself, to atone for her cruel sins. Perhaps... that is the most suitable punishment for her. As for Duc Phi Tham Khinh Ngu, after revealing all her comrades, she was also ordered to die in heaven by her royal brother. Everyone… seems to have received the ending they deserved. A shocking case, originating from a wild love affair, finally... ended. The capital, after a violent shock, gradually returned to peace. Because of that, the throne of the royal brother became as solid as a rock. He has visited me several times. Every time he comes, he brings with him a lot of rare medicinal herbs, along with an undisguised expression of concern.

“Sister Huang, this time… it's really thanks to you.”

You sat next to me and spoke sincerely.

"If it weren't for you, the consequences... I really don't dare to imagine."
