Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — Right at the wedding ceremony, I broke up the engagement, then chose to marry the young General
At that moment, Bui Canh Tu suddenly burst into laughter. A smile that was both bitter and crazy.
"Ta Nghien Chu, what are you proud of?"
"She has liked me for 10 years."
"You're just picking up things I don't need."
Ta Nghien Chu had not yet had time to speak. I lifted my foot first and stepped hard on the back of Bui Canh Tu's hand. He groaned softly. I bent down to look at him: "Bui Canh Tu, listen clearly."
"It's not like he picked up something you don't need."
"But after turning around in time, I chose someone better."
His face immediately turned pale. I retract my legs. The sound of rain is very loud. But I feel that heaven and earth have never been so clean.
"Bui Canh Tu, I liked you before, because I was blind."
"Now that my eyes are clear, I will never jump into a mud hole again."
He wanted to say more. But the Forbidden Army dragged him away. Ta Nghien Chu slightly tilted the umbrella towards me a little more. Very quickly, half of his shoulder was soaked. I saw it and deliberately asked: "General, don't you know how to protect yourself from the rain?" He replied softly: "I'm used to it." It's that saying again. I stop walking.
"Ta Nghien Chu."
He looked towards me. I grabbed his hand and pushed the umbrella back to the middle.
"Don't get used to that anymore."
"I didn't marry you so you could stand in the rain and watch me."
His eyes wavered slightly. After a long time, he quietly replied: "Okay." Hoai Vuong's case is even more deeply involved than imagined. Herbal medicine. Military defense. A clue was pulled out, causing half of the court to be shocked. The royal brother summoned me to the palace that night. When I arrived at the Royal Study Room, Ta Nghien Chu was already there. The light illuminates the sand table. The royal brother rubbed his forehead: "Vuong Hoai is afraid that he is about to rebel." I looked at the three routes of fortune marked on the sand table, and my heart felt cold. In his previous life, Vuong Hoai rebelled exactly half a month later. The capital was completely unguarded. The capital defense map provided by Bui Canh Tu caused the rebels to attack straight to the palace gate. Then a direct attack on the palace based on the palace defense map I was tricked into giving to Bui Canh Tu... In this life, there's still time. I pointed to the southwest grain warehouse: "There is no defense here." The Minister of Ministry of Defense was stunned: "Your Highness, this place is an important food warehouse."
"Because it is an important food warehouse, King Hoai will definitely think that we will send heavy troops to defend."
We press that symbol.
"Leave the warehouse empty."
"Let all the food and herbs be transported 3 days in advance, leaving only empty warehouses and kerosene."
"If he dares to bring troops, then burn his vanguard."
The ministers looked at each other. The royal brother looked intently at the sand table: "How can you be sure he will attack southwest first?" I cannot say that I have died once. So we pretend to be naive.
"I guess."
The royal library was silent for a moment. Ta Nghien Chu suddenly spoke: "I also guess so." I turned my head to look at him. His face was extremely serious: "I and the Princess think alike." Royal brother: "..." Minister of Ministry of Defense: "..." I tried to hold back my laughter and continued:
"One more thing, don't rush to interrogate the Bui family for now."
"Bui Canh Tu is afraid of death, and also very afraid of losing face."
"Put him and Lieu Phat Y in two cells next to each other, not allowed to meet, only allowed to hear their voices. of the opponent."
"They will bite and tear each other apart."
The royal brother looked at me for a long time.
"Lanh Nghi, you're smarter now."
I smiled sweetly: "If you die once, you should be wiser anyway." The royal study fell into silence again. I calmly corrected myself: "What you mean is... the person who broke up with her once." 3 days later, Bui Canh Tu was the first to succumb. He confessed that Lieu Phat Y once told him to imitate his brother's handwriting. Lieu Phat Y also did not give up. She declared that the old Marquis of the Bui family had long known that Hoai Vuong was secretly raising soldiers, but because he wanted to maintain the honor and wealth of the Marquis, he still kept one eye open and the other closed. This time, the Bui family completely collapsed. Old Marquis was thrown into prison. Bui Canh Tu was sentenced to exile 3,000 miles away. Because of colluding with traitors and plotting treason, Lieu Phat Y was sentenced to death after Thu. The day the verdict was announced, she asked to meet me. The prison was both dark and damp. She was so thin that she was just skin and bones. As soon as she saw me, she suddenly burst out laughing.
"The princess won."
