Chapter 2 — Pregnant Exterior Forced to Confess, Queen Mother Only Says Two Words: Husband

This is true royalty. Majestic, cold, not tolerant of provocation. Anyone who makes the royal family lose face has only one outcome.

"Dear mother, Tham Thanh Ha holds the military authority of the beast guard period, and is also the great general of the country, with many relationships within the court..."

I lowered my voice to remind. This is not dealing with an ordinary courtier, just a little carelessness can cause a stir in the court situation.

“Military authority?”

The mother-in-law laughed coldly and began to spin the Buddha necklace again.

"His military power belongs to the Tham family, or does it belong to the royal family?"

"He can sit in that position, thanks to whom? Is it himself, or is it because he is your son-in-law, a relative of the royal family?"

"If Grandpa and Father can lift him up, they can naturally make him fall down to pieces."

His voice was not loud, but each word seemed to pierce straight into the heart. That's right, Tham Thanh Ha has forgotten. Everything he has, glory, status, military power, comes from this "son of a son" status. Once he is no longer the son-in-law, he is nothing.

“He did this too stupidly.”

The mother-in-law closed her eyes and spoke softly.

"A woman from outside is worthy of him trampling the royal dignity under his feet?"

"He let Lieu Van Nhi kneel in front of the princess's palace, and then he took us, the whole royal family, and put them on the fire to roast."

“He thinks that using a child, using his so-called reputation, he can force us to submit.”

“He thought the royal family was too simple.”

I remained silent and did not speak, but inside my heart a huge wave rose up. I originally thought this was just a messy emotional episode, a failed marriage. But in the mother's eyes, this matter has escalated into a battle between royal power and theocratic power. Tham Thanh Ha's actions are trying to test the limits of the royal family.

“Chieu Duong, please remember.”

The mother-in-law opened her eyes and looked at me with bright eyes.

“You are a princess, born to be nobler than others, but also born to carry the honor and shame of royalty on your shoulders.”

“Whoever humiliates the child, humiliates the royal family.”

“When dealing with this type of person, absolutely do not show mercy.”

I nodded strongly: "I understand."

“Understanding is good.”

The mother-in-law stood up and adjusted her clothes.

“Let him die directly, it's too convenient for him.”

"Ai family wants him to lose his reputation, wants him to see with his own eyes everything he worked so hard to build, little by little, turned into nothing."

"The Ai wants him to know what the outcome will be for betraying my royal daughter."

The person walked to the door of the Buddha hall and instructed the female minister who was waiting outside.

“Go, invite the emperor.”

"Tell me, Ai has something important to discuss with him."

The female official ordered to leave. Very quickly, my young royal brother, gradually gaining royal majesty, dressed in the night dew, rushed over.

“Mother, royal sister.”

The two of us are still used to calling her mother. That name, retained as a habit from the past, makes people's hearts feel closer and warmer. Even though after her brother ascended the throne, she followed the destiny of heaven and became the Queen Mother, but in our hearts... she will always be the mother like in the beginning. Emperor Ly Duc entered the Buddha hall and saw me here, his eyes opened wide through a flash of surprise.

“It's so late, what's going on?”

The mother did not beat around the bush and directly told the whole story of Tham Thanh Ha. Ly Duc's face, according to his mother's words, gradually became gloomy. When he heard that Tham Thanh Ha wanted to get married and force me to separate, the murderous aura on his body almost wanted to overturn the whole Buddha hall.

“What impertinence!”

He punched the floor next to him, making a dull sound.

"Just Tham Thanh Ha, he dares to blatantly insult my royal princess to this extent! In his eyes, is there still me! Is there still royalty!"

“Your Majesty calm down your anger.”

I gently gave advice.

"Be less angry? Sister Huang, you are humiliated to this extent, how can I be less angry!"

Ly Duc looked at me, his eyes filled with sadness and anger.

“I will immediately issue an order to remove Tham Thanh Ha from his position and investigate, and let that bastard named Lieu drown in water!”

"Emperor."

The queen mother spoke up, her voice still calm as before.

“The wrath of thunder cannot solve the problem.”

"Shen Thanh Ha is in charge of the beast guard period. His father has an old disciple in the court. If he touches him casually, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Ly Duc frowned slightly, obviously thinking about this.

“So according to the mother's wishes?”

The corners of the mother's lips curled up in a cold arc.

“If you want him dead, you must first take away his rights and destroy his reputation.”

"Isn't he most concerned about that outside woman and the child in her womb?"

“Then we start from there.”

He looked towards my royal brother and slowly spoke out his plan. After listening, the anger in Ly Duc's eyes gradually subsided, replaced by cold calculation. He nodded: "I understand." He walked up to the desk, picked up the pen, and filled it with ink. A bright yellow holy decree slowly spread out under his pen. The candlelight swayed, illuminating his stern yet cold face, making it even more profound and unpredictable. I don't know what is written on the holy scroll. But we know, the day of Tham Thanh Ha's death, from this moment, has begun to count down. A net of heaven and earth was slowly spreading out towards him and Lieu Van Nhi, the person he loved the most. Early in the morning of the next day, a group of palace servants, holding royal decrees in their hands, loudly approached the princess's palace. The news spread, Lieu Van Nhi knelt all night outside the palace, her face was pale, her body staggered, and her eyes flashed with hope. The maid next to her quickly helped her up and excitedly said:

"Miss, it must be His Majesty who is in charge of you! You are about to become the master of the palace!"

Lieu Van Nhi smiled weakly, her eyes unable to hide her pride and desire. She knew that Tham Thanh Ha would definitely fight for her. She will soon be able to sit on the same level as the eldest princess, becoming another female owner of this glorious princess palace.
