Chapter 4 — Pregnant Exterior Forced to Confess, Queen Mother Only Says Two Words: Husband

"General! This is not good!"

The guard knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.

“In the palace… there is another holy edict!”

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty, using the excuse that you need to handle family matters, temporarily dismissed you from your position as commander of the imperial guard!”

“Let… let General Luc Thai, Uy Vu, temporarily replace your position!”

Tham Thanh Ha seemed to be hit by five thunderbolts (hit by an extremely strong force directly on the head), his whole body stiffened on the spot. Military power. His last support was easily taken away just like that. The position of commander of the Imperial Guard has been dismissed. This news, for Tham Thanh Ha, is no different from a lightning strike in a clear sky. He staggered back two steps, his face even more unsightly than that of a dead person. The military power that he was always proud of, the thing that was the support for him to dare to confront the royal family, in the face of true royal power, was so weak that it could not withstand a blow. A holy decree. It's just a holy teaching. He didn't even have a chance to resist.

“No… no way…”

He muttered absentmindedly, his eyes filled with blood.

“Your Majesty, why… Luc Thai… Luc Thai is his (emperor)’s person…”

He finally realized that all of this was a trap. A trap, from the moment he let Lieu Van Nhi kneel in front of the palace gate, was already set up. He thought he was a hunter, but didn't know that from the beginning, he was the targeted prey. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes staring at me harshly.

"It's you! Chieu Duong! It's you who's playing tricks!"

“It was you who accused His Majesty, it was you who exposed all of this!”

His eyes were filled with crazy hatred and unwillingness. I looked at him coldly, too lazy to even give him a spare look.

"It's you Tham Thanh Ha, step by step you walked into this trap."

"If it weren't for your greed for fame and fortune, your bottomless greed, how could you have ended up in today's situation?"

“Tham Thanh Ha, what you have today is because you brought it upon yourself.”

My words, like a sharp blade, pierced his last layer of disguise.

"Self-inflicted? Ha ha ha ha!"

He laughed like crazy, his laughter was full of sadness and despair.

"What is my fault? I just want to marry the woman I love! I just want to have a child that belongs to me!"

"It's you! It's you royal family, selfish and cold!"

“You take the position of main wife, but you refuse to give me children!”

“Right now, I just want to give my child a name, but you want to destroy everything I have!”

He blamed all the mistakes on me and the royal family. It's ridiculous. After three years of being married, how many nights did he stay in this place of mine? It's him, lingering on a place full of flowers and flowers, singing and feasting every night. Now, he is turning to blame me for not being able to give birth to an heir for him.

“Tham Thanh Ha.”

My voice is cold.

“You better think clearly, who are you talking to right now.”

“You are no longer the commander of the Imperial Guard.”

“You are just a leisurely concubine, your majesty punished you, and you were detained.”

"If you still dare to be disrespectful to this palace, don't blame this palace for using family law."

My words made the crazy smile on his face instantly freeze. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had lost all his capital. In this princess palace, I am the only master. Killing His, it's all in my mind. The blood on his face gradually receded, replaced by deep fear. He looked at me, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word. I no longer paid attention to him and turned around to instruct the teacher behind me.

“Command from this palace.”

"From today onwards, all supplies at Thanh Phong Garden will be issued according to the lowest standards of the business card."

"Without the palace's permission, no one is allowed to visit, including the son-in-law."

"Let's just say, it's to let Concubine Lieu rest in peace while raising the baby and avoid being disturbed."

“As you command, princess.”

She bowed to receive her order. Tham Thanh Ha's eyes instantly widened.

“You dare!”

He rushed forward, wanting to grab my arm. The guard next to me immediately stepped forward and stopped him.

"Chieu Duong! You cannot treat Van Nhi like that! She is still pregnant with my child!"

He screamed until his voice was hoarse.

“Your child?”

I turned around, the corners of my lips curled up in a sarcastic curve.

“You have to wait until you are born before you can speak.”

"Before that, she was just a concubine who dared to violate the royal family, making Long Nhan angry."

"This palace only restrains her, which is already an illegal act of kindness."

Having finished speaking, I didn't look at him any more and went straight back into the inner hall. Behind him, there was the sound of him roaring angrily, along with the sound of things being broken. I know he won't stop easily. Stripped of his military power, he was like a tiger whose teeth were removed. Although he temporarily lost his threat, he would definitely find a way to regrow his fangs. He will go find his father, old Grand Master Tham Tong Van. He will contact court officials who have relationships with him. He will use all means to restore the situation. As for me, all I have to do is wait for him to make a move. Then, little by little, all his hopes were crushed. Sure enough, that afternoon, Tham Thanh Ha changed into civilian clothes, left the princess's mansion with anger, and headed straight for the Grand Master's mansion. I sat by the window, watching his back leave, my eyes cold.

“Princess,” the close maid Xuan Dao offered me hot tea, “will you just let him go like that?”

“If we don't let him go, how can we lead all the fish out of the water?”

I lifted the tea cup and took a gentle sip.

“Send an order down, let our people closely monitor the Grand Master's Palace.”

"Whom Thanh Ha meets, what he says, don't miss a word, report everything to me."

“Obey orders.”

An invisible net was quietly spread down. Tham Thanh Ha, the Tham family behind him, and the forces that depend on them, will all become fish in my net. At night, a secret seal was quietly placed on my letter.
