Chapter 13 — Receiving Seven Envelopes for Help, I Alone Stormed into the Royal Palace

The Queen Mother stared at me.

“Are you threatening someone?”

I clasped my hands.

“I don't dare.”

"I am a person on the border, my words are straightforward."

Truong Lac shouted loudly:

“Your Majesty, kill her!”

“She injured the king, insulted the mother, and even dared to defame her father.”

“If she hadn't died, what face would the royal family have?”

I looked at the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, viewers.”

"Up until now, the first thing she thinks about is still killing people."

The Emperor's face sank like an abyss. He turned around and told his wife:

“Bring Truong Lac's Dan book and iron book.”

Truong Lac was stunned. The Queen Mother also stood up.

"Emperor!"

The Emperor's voice was calm.

“What the Queen Mother is very right about.”

“The relics left by the Immortal Emperor, I do not dare to be careless.”

"Since Truong Lac has the Dan book that exempts you from death, then I will personally see what is written on it."

The Queen Mother's chest heaved. Only now did Truong Lac truly know fear.

“Brother Hoang, I don't want to.”

“That's what my father gave me.”

The Emperor looked at her.

“If you really think you are innocent…”

“So what are you afraid of?”

Truong Lac was speechless. Not long after, the maid brought a brocade box. The box is opened. Inside was a roll of old yellow silk. The emperor personally took out and opened the silk roll. The palace was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. After watching, his expression remained unchanged. But I see... In an instant, his fingers tightened. The Queen Mother also saw it. She called softly:

“Emperor.”

The Emperor raised his eyes.

“The Dan Book Thiet given by the Immortal Emperor does indeed contain a provision for exemption from the death penalty.”

Truong Lac breathed a sigh of relief. But right after that, the Emperor continued:

“But death penalty is only exempted for crimes under the crime of treason.”

"No exemption from titles, no exemption from detention, no exemption from penalties, benefits, no exemption from food cuts."

"It also doesn't exempt you from apologizing to the victim."

Truong Lac's face immediately lost a drop of blood. The Queen Mother gently closed her eyes. The emperor placed the golden silk roll back in the brocade box.

"Princess Truong Le's virtue is flawed, she mistreats her son-in-law, and harms her servant."

“Revocation of Truong Lac title.”

“Reduce food intake by three hundred households.”

“Moved to Chieu Hoa Palace, banned for life.”

"There is no holy decree, you are not allowed to meet foreign ministers, and you are not allowed to interfere in any of the Tham family's affairs."

Truong Lac screamed.

“Brother Royal, you cannot treat me like that!”

The Emperor did not stop.

"The decree of separation between Tham Nghien Chu and her remains the same."

"The servants in the Princess's palace are involved in the incident and will be prosecuted according to national law."

“Whoever has helped commit evil, not even one will be spared.”

Truong Lac fell to the ground. She seemed crazy, crawling towards the Queen Mother.

“Mother, save me.”

The Queen Mother's face turned gray, but she did not immediately extend her hand. Truong Lac cried until his voice was hoarse.

“Mother, I am your daughter.”

“The person who said he would protect me for the rest of my life.”

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor.

“Emperor, my punishment is too severe.”

The Emperor replied:

“I already have a lot of respect for the Immortal Emperor's Dan book and iron book.”

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth.

“What about Tham Thanh Duong?”

“It injured the king and this whole palace Everyone saw it with their own eyes.”

"Since Truong Lac has been punished, he must also die."

My brother suddenly knelt straight.

“The Queen Mother!”

“Sister Sister did this to save me.”

“If she is guilty, I wish to share the blame.”

I frowned.

“Shut up, brother.”

This time, my brother didn't listen. He knelt forward, hitting his head hard on the tile floor.

“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother.”

“I wish to use my reputation to atone for my sins.”

“I just ask for her life to be spared.”

My heart is both bitter and angry.

“Tham Nghien Chu, what kind of crime can you redeem with that bit of your fame?”

He turned his head to look at me. Red eyes.

“I am your younger sister.”

“I can't stand by and watch you die.”

At that moment, an urgent alarm suddenly rang out outside the palace. A guard quickly walked inside, knelt down and presented a military signal.

“Inform your Majesty.”

“Than Bac Camp has an emergency alert eight hundred miles away.”

"The three Northern Dich tribes showed signs of movement, having crossed thirty miles outside the Lang Nha pass gate."

The emperor received the military report and his face immediately darkened. The atmosphere in the main hall completely changed in an instant. I looked at that military report and slowly stood up straight. The Emperor raised his eyes and looked at me.

“Shen Qingtang.”

“Can you still get on the horse?”

The Queen Mother angrily shouted:

“It is a sin!”

The Emperor immediately called back his troops to report.

“Sinful gods can also atone for their sins.”

I smiled softly.

"Your Majesty wants me to go to the border, that's fine."

“But I have two conditions.”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes.

“At this point, you still dare to set conditions?”

I looked towards my brother.

“First, let Tham Nghien Chu return to the Tham family to recuperate.”

“Second, from now until I return from the border, if anyone dares to touch the Tham family, even a blade of grass…”
