Chapter 6 — Pregnant Exterior Forced to Confess, Queen Mother Only Says Two Words: Husband

“Something happened at the princess's mansion!”

"The matriarch's son-in-law... Tham Thanh Ha, in jail, he committed suicide!"

Tham Thanh Ha has committed suicide. This news is somewhat unexpected. I originally thought that with his personality, he would definitely struggle until the last moment. Unexpectedly, he chose to use this method to end his ridiculous life.

“What happened?” I asked in a low voice.

"The specifics are still unclear," the prison officer replied, "when the guards discovered him, he... hung himself with a rope and died."

I stood up and looked deeply at Tham Khinh Ngu who was lost in the corner of the wall.

"Whatever she declares must be recorded."

“Not a single word can be wrong.”

Leaving this sentence behind, I hastily left the prison. When I returned to the princess's palace, I saw Tham Thanh Ha's body placed on the cold ground. His face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and the expression of horror and unwillingness before his death still remained on his face. Next to him, several pieces of paper were scattered. I walked over and picked up a sheet. On it were his autographs, written curses like "Chieu Duong poison wife, harm me and destroy the clan"... He wanted to use his death to confirm my crime of "jealous poison wife". Even when I die, I still want to throw a basin of dirty water on me. It's true that even when you die, you won't know how to repent.

“Princess…”

The surrounding servants looked at me with eyes filled with some fear and avoidance. Obviously, Tham Thanh Ha's death frightened them. Even in my heart, perhaps I really thought I forced him to death. I laughed coldly, threw the will in my hand back on him.

“Command from this palace.”

"My son-in-law Tham Thanh Ha, as a disobedient god, committed suicide out of fear of sin."

"After death, you are not allowed to enter the royal tomb, nor are you allowed to join the Tham family."

“Immediately send someone to find a graveyard and bury it casually.”

My command, cold and heartless. After hearing this, the servants became even more scared to the point of not daring to breathe loudly. I glanced around the hospital.

"From today onwards, no one will dare to discuss this matter behind our backs and gossip."

"Immediately expel it, never use it."

“Obey!”

Everyone replied in unison, not daring to have even the slightest objection. After dealing with Tham Thanh Ha's aftermath, I returned to the main hall. Xuan Dao brought a basin of warm water for me to calm down.

“Princess, you said… your son-in-law… is he really suicidal?”

She wiped my hands and asked in a low voice. I looked at my reflection in the water, my eyes dark.

"Whether it's suicide or not is no longer important."

“The important thing is, he must have committed suicide.”

Xuan Dao half understood and half did not nod. A person guilty of treason, committing suicide out of fear of sin, is the most appropriate outcome. Not only can it show the majesty of the royal family, but it can also seal the tongues of the world. As for the ultimate truth, no one cares. The next day, the news that Tham Thanh Ha committed suicide out of fear of crime, along with evidence of the Tham family's treason, were simultaneously reported to the world. The tide shook. The previous royal historians tried their best to defend the Tham family, but overnight, they all became silent. The officials who were exposed by Tham Khinh Ngu as participating in the treason plot were arrested one after another in the face of mountainous evidence. Minister Lai Vuong Dien, when arrested, was still leisurely sitting in the palace drinking tea. When prohibited The army rushed into his palace, he did not even resist, just sighed:

"If you gave birth to Du, why still give birth to Luong?"

He fought all his life, but in the end he still lost under the royal power. As each high-ranking mandarin in the court fell into the net, a great cleansing spread throughout the court, officially opening the curtain. The royal brother used lightning tricks to uproot the Tham family. The entire official field was filled with bloody wind and rain. As for me, I put my mind on something else. Thanh Phong garden. Lieu Van Nhi. The collapse of the Tham family and the suicide of Tham Thanh Ha, to her, was no different from a devastating disaster. When I visited her, she was sitting absent-mindedly by the window. Her appearance, which was still somewhat beautiful, was now haggard to the point of being out of shape. Her belly was protruding, making her whole body look somewhat heavy. Seeing me, in her eyes there was no longer resentment or pride like before, only numbness and fear remained.

“Princess… your highness…”

She tried to get out of bed to pray, but I raised my hand to stop her.

“How many months has the child in your belly been?”

Let's go straight to the point. Lieu Van Nhi was stunned and unconsciously put her hand on her stomach.

“During… your highness, it was… more than six months ago…”

I walked over to her bed, stared at her belly, and spoke slowly.

“But I remember clearly, more than half a year ago, Tham Thanh Ha was at the border guarding the war.”

“During that time, he never recovered.”

"And during that time, this palace also just happened to follow the army by his side."
