Chapter 4 — Reborn and Surprised the Regent King

Phong Quyet closed the list. He looked at me deeply.

“Tham Nguyet Tri.”

This was the first time he called me by my full name.

“You are much more interesting than my king thought.”

Having finished speaking, he took the list with him and turned to leave the new room. The transaction between us from this moment truly begins. The days after marrying into the Regent Palace were much more peaceful than I imagined. Phong Quyet is very busy. Sometimes we don't see him for days in a row. The servants in the palace were extremely respectful to me. But in that respect there is still some distance. I enjoy this serenity very much. Every day other than taking medicine is researching the next person on my revenge list. Three days later, news came from the palace. The minister of the Household Ministry, a man named Truong, was ordered to thoroughly investigate because of embezzling money to help with natural disasters. The evidence is irrefutable. That same night, he was thrown into prison. This is Phong Quyet's way of showing us his sincerity. I ordered someone to give him an envelope. Inside is the next target. Evidence that the head of the Ministry of Defense, a man named Ly, secretly embezzled military provisions. Just like that. A strange chemistry gradually formed between us. We provide intelligence. He is in charge of taking action. Less than half a month. In the court, five or six major mandarins fell one after another. No one is an exception. All are confidants of Tran Quoc Cong. On the royal court. People are confused. Everyone was filled with fear. Of course, the Tran Quoc Cong palace cannot continue to sit idly by anymore. That day, I was sitting in the yard reading a book when a servant came to report. It was said that Mrs. Tran Quoc Cong, also Co Than's mother, came to the door to ask for an audience. The corners of my lips curled slightly into a cold smile. It's finally here. I changed into another outfit and went to the lobby to meet her. As soon as she saw me, Mrs. Co immediately grabbed my hand. Showing an extremely heartbroken look.

“Nguyet Tri, why are you so confused!”

"While he's at peace, he doesn't choose our A Than, he must marry that living King of Hell!"

As she spoke, she tried to force out a few tears.

“Look how skinny you are now?”

“Did you experience any resentment at the Regent Palace?”

I gently withdrew my hand. Calmly replied:

"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Co. I live very well."

“What good is good!”

Her volume immediately increased.

“Don't lie to me anymore!”

"Who doesn't know that the Regent Royal Palace is the dragon's den and the tiger's den!"

“Nguyet Tri, please listen to my advice.”

“Hurry up and break up!”

"The big door of our Co family is always open, waiting for you to return!"

I almost laughed out loud. Separation? It's really gentle to say. There is no need to mention whether or not I want this position as Princess Regent. Just the name "the person who once separated with the Regent King" on his head is enough to make me Tham Nguyet Tri unable to raise his head and be a person in the capital for the rest of his life.

“Lady Co's good intentions, I will take note of them in my heart.”

I raised the tea cup and gently blew the foam floating on the water's surface.

“It's just marrying chickens to chickens and dogs to dogs. Once married into the Royal Palace, I am a member of the Royal Family."

“As for the Co family's big door, it's best to leave it to those who need it more.”

The meaning of my words, Mrs. Co immediately understood. Her expression momentarily darkened. No more pretending to be a gentle mother.

“Tham Nguyet Tri! Don't be an elephant asking for a fairy!”

She shouted in a serious voice.

“Don't think that by marrying the Regent you can do whatever you want!”

“I tell you, A Than still has you in his heart!”

“There's still time to turn around now!”

I put down the tea cup and smiled softly.

"Then when you come back, don't hesitate to ask General Gu."

“The person he has in his heart is ultimately me.”

“Or is my good sister weak and fragile, unable to take care of herself?”

“You...!”
