Chapter 19 — Pregnant Exterior Forced to Confess, Queen Mother Only Says Two Words: Husband

“As long as I have one day left, no one in this court will be able to touch you even an inch.”

"As long as I have one day left, this Ly family will absolutely not mistreat any public servant."

"I, Chieu Duong, swear in the name of the Ly family."

“Besides, I will also go to the border once and will go with you.”

My oath echoes in this desolate temple. Falling to the ground like nails. Luc Thai looked at me, his eyes wavering violently. He saw in my eyes the determination. Also see the sincerity in my eyes. He knows that I am not painting an unrealistic scenario for him. I'm giving him a promise. A promise from the eldest princess. A long, long time. He finally loosened his clenched fist. He carefully folded the war report in his hand. Then, he walked in front of me. One knee down.

“The end of General Luc Thai.”

His voice was no longer hoarse. The golden iron horse was full of momentum, resounding like the sound of clashing soldiers and swords.

“Praying for your highness the princess, I will devote myself to death!”

"Pray for Great Liang, sacrifice your life to pay your debt to the country!"

I looked at him, smiling slightly. I know, I bet right. The sleeping lion has finally woken up. I helped him up.

“Stand up.”

“From now on, between you and I there will no longer be a military god.”

“But comrades.”

He looked at me, nodded heavily. Sunset falls. The shadow of the two of us stretches very long, very long. A storm that will decide the nation's fate is about to begin. But we will be the strongest dyke in that storm. I returned to the royal mausoleum...to say goodbye to my mother. Then he and Luc Thai rode all night and returned to the capital. When I brought him to appear before the royal brother, he was worried about choosing a marshal. Seeing us, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with crazy joy.

“Six General!”

He excitedly stood up from his bed and walked quickly towards Luc Thai.

“You… have finally returned!”

“The last general pays his respects to His Majesty!”

Luc Thai performed a standard military ceremony.

“Quickly stand up, quickly stand up!”

The royal brother helped him up, so excited that he could barely speak.

"You can come back, it's really great! It's great!"

“Your Majesty, this is…”

He turned his head to look at me.

“I invited him back.”

I said leisurely.

"Currently, there is a national crisis in front of us. There is no one else who can lead the battle except General Luc."

The prince nodded forcefully.

“The royal sister is right!”

“I immediately issue orders!”

He turned around, returned to the dragon court, and took up the pen to write the decree.

"I order General Luc - Luc Thai to be the Great Marshal of Chinh Bac, to command all the soldiers and horses in the world, and immediately set out to the Northern realm to fight against the barbarians!"

"I give Chinh Bac Great Marshal the precious sword from above. Anyone who disobeys military orders can be beheaded first!"

“I will use the entire country's strength to prepare food and provide military supplies!”

Every order came from his mouth. The entire court was once again filled with vitality due to Luc Thai's return. However, there are people who are happy, and there are people who are sad. At court, the emerging nobles looked at Luc Thai, this suddenly appearing marshal, eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. Right at dawn, someone immediately walked out. The army of Thi Lang and Truong Khai. A person who relies on flattery to climb up.

“Your Majesty, absolutely impossible!”

He raised his voice.

"Although the Sixth General has had military achievements, he has been in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years."

"I'm afraid I'm no longer as strong as before."

"Besides, he's just a martial artist with a strong temper. I'm afraid it's difficult for him to take on the responsibility of marshal."

“I believe that the position of marshal should be assigned to a person of high moral character and expertise in the art of warfare.”

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the few old gods standing next to him. His words immediately received a response from some people.

“Truong Thi Lang is very right!”

"Exchanging commanders in battle is already a big taboo in the military, let alone choosing commanders in battle, it's even too careless!"

These people were all civil servants promoted in peacetime. They don't understand military mechanics, they only understand tactics. They were afraid that Luc Thai's return would disrupt the balance in the court. It will harm their interests. The royal brother was made pale by them.

“Shut up, everyone!”

He slammed down on the dragon's case and shouted loudly.

"Currently, the enemy is under pressure and the country is in danger."

"You guys don't think about how to tell the country, instead you're here fighting for power and profit, forming factions and forming parties!"

“The holy books you read have all been swallowed into the dog's stomach!”

The emperor's anger made the other officials so scared that they did not dare to say a word. But they still refused to back down. Seeing that the court was about to fall into a deadlock situation. We slowly walked out.

“Truong Thi Lang.”

I opened my mouth and called out the name of the leader of the protest. All eyes were on him. Truong Khai saw me step forward and call his name, slightly stunned, then hastily bowed down and bowed.

“A visit to Her Royal Highness the Princess.”
