Chapter 10 — Receiving Seven Envelopes for Help, I Alone Stormed into the Royal Palace

My brother bowed and bowed his head.

“I know.”

The Queen Mother coldly asked:

“So you still want to break up?”

My brother's forehead pressed against the tile floor.

“Still want to.”

Truong Lac suddenly stood up.

“Don't even try!”

“Tham Nghien Chu, I don't agree!”

"You live as a member of the Princess's mansion, and when you die, you are also a ghost of the Princess's mansion!"

I look at her.

“Please repeat it again.”

Being stared at by me, Truong Lac took half a step back, but still tried to raise his chin high.

“What did this palace say wrong?”

"He is the son-in-law given to this palace by his father."

"Without the palace's consent, how could he leave?"

The Emperor finally spoke.

“Based on my decree.”

Truong Lac's tears immediately fell.

“Royal brother!”

The Emperor looked at her.

“Last night I gave you a chance.”

“Today, in front of my mother, I still don't know how to repent.”

Truong Lac cried even more fiercely.

“Why should we repent?”

“From childhood to adulthood, everyone said I was a Princess.”

“If the princess wants something, she must have it.”

“I wanted Tham Nghien Chu, my father immediately gave him to me.”

"Now, regardless of whether I'm tired of playing or not, he's still mine."

“On what basis do people now say it's not possible?”

The whole main hall fell into a quiet silence. The Buddha necklace in the Queen Mother's hand suddenly broke. Each pearl clicked and rolled all over the ground. Even Truong Lac was stunned. The rosary rolled to my feet. I bowed my head and took a look. That pearl touched the toe of my boot and then stopped. There was no one in the palace to pick it up. Truong Lac seemed to finally realize what he had just said, his face turned from red to pale. But very quickly, she bit her lip again, crying and rushing to the Queen Mother's side.

“Mother, I didn't mean that.”

“I'm just too afraid of losing my Husband-in-law.”

“I like that guy.”

“I just don't know how to be with him.”

My brother knelt on the tile floor, his shoulders shaking slightly. I know, when he heard those two words "like", he just felt cold. Liking someone is forcing that person to kneel in the snow. Liking someone means cutting off that person's food and water. Liking someone is like squeezing that person's wrist until the bones crack. If that thing is truly called liking... Then even hatred becomes benevolent. The Queen Mother lowered her eyes to look at the Buddha string scattered all over the ground. She did not immediately speak up. Truong Lac grabbed the hem of her shirt and cried until the pear flowers were drenched in rain.

“Mother, you love me the most.”

“Someone help me.”

“I don't get along.”

"From now on, I won't hit him again. I'll let the Royal Doctor heal him. Is that still okay?"

I let out a cold laugh. Truong Lac immediately turned his head and glared at me.

“What are you laughing at?”

"You beat someone to death, and now you say you won't beat them again in the future."

“Your Highness the Princess really knows how to be grateful.”

Anger flashed in Truong Lac's eyes. But this time, she didn't dare to scold him out loud. The emperor sat in the next chair, his face cold as iron in the middle of a winter night. He looked at the Queen Mother.

“The Queen mother also heard it.”

"Truong Lac didn't just accidentally do it."

"Up until now, she has never considered Tham Nghien Chu as her husband."

The Queen Mother slowly raised her head.

“So what?”

With just that one sentence, my brother's face turned even whiter part. The Queen Mother said:

“Emperor, royal marriage is about face.”

"Truong Lac speaks inappropriately, everyone will punish him."

“But separation cannot be counted.”

My brother's fingers immediately gripped the tile floor. We take one step forward. The Emperor also looked towards the Queen Mother.

“Mother, the decree has been given.”

The Queen Mother coldly replied:

“Holy decrees can also be revoked.”

“Who is still alive?”

"Truong Lac is the daughter most loved by the Emperor."

"That year the marriage was given, which was also what the First Emperor agreed to during his lifetime."

"For the sake of a Poinsettia with a cold background, you let Truong Lac be laughed at by the whole world. Do you want the Immortal Emperor to not be at peace under the golden stream?"

Truong Lac felt like he had grasped a life-saving blade of grass.

"That's right."

“Father loves his son the most.”

“Father once said, you can have anything you want.”

Hearing this, my chest suddenly felt tight. It turns out she didn't understand. It's just that from childhood to adulthood, there was always someone who paved a smooth path for her. She stepped on others, just thinking that was the stepping stone thing to do. The Emperor was silent for a moment. The Queen Mother saw his hesitation and her tone softened a bit.

"Emperor."

"If Truong Lac was wrong, I punished him with detention, punished him for copying sutras, no one in the family stopped him."

“But separation is not possible.”

"A princess is abandoned by her royal concubine. What face will the women in the royal family have in the future?"

I suddenly burst out laughing. The Queen Mother turned her head to look at me.

“What are you laughing at?”

"The Queen Mother is worried that her kinswoman still has the dignity to be a human being."

“So what about my brother?”

“Isn't he human?”
