Chapter 16 — Royal Regret

She glanced at Tieu Nghien and said in a low voice: "Little Master's reading is important." I understand. The Queen Mother recognized Tieu Nghien's status. If there really was a child in Lieu Nhu Mi's womb, it would only be a second child. A child who inherits the freedom to be raised by the righteous will not be erased because of an unborn child. But people in the government may not understand. Or they understand, but want to use the wind to step on one foot. The courtyard is bustling again. Tieu Thua Canh continuously slept there for half a month. Among the old people that I had purged out, there were also a few people who wanted to return thanks to their connections. We don't care. Until one day, when Tieu Nghien returned from studying at the palace, a piece of paper fell out of his book bag. There is only one sentence on the paper. Being the second child all your life, in the end you are still an outsider. Xuan Dao was so angry that his face turned white. Tieu Nghien bent down again, picked up the paper, placed it on the lamp, and burned it. I asked it: "Aren't you angry?" He said: "Anger." "Then why burn it?" "It's useless to keep it." I watched the fire swallow the last bit of paper ash. "Who gave it to you?" He said: "I don't know." I nodded. "Then investigate." He raised his head and looked at me. I said: "Forbearance does not mean forgetting." "If someone puts out his hand, he must make him know that his hand will hurt." 15It is not difficult to investigate the person who gave the paper. In the palace, there were only a few people who could get close to Tieu Nghien's book bag. I won't let Tieu Nghien ask himself. Things between children can sometimes be resolved on their own. But this time, the person with his hands behind his back was not a child. I ordered Xuan Dao to investigate the entourage in the palace, and asked Mr. Co to send a letter to the palace master to get to know him. Three days later, the clue returned. The piece of paper was inserted by a housekeeper. That little lady received money from a lady in the Lieu Vien. Mrs. T. was ordered by someone, she knew without having to ask. Xuan Dao was so angry that he wanted to go to Lieu Vien to make a fuss. I stopped her. "There was a fuss, she cried, the King punished a few slaves, the matter was over." Xuan Dao gritted her teeth. "So just let it go like that?" I pulled out the woman's deed. "Of course not." The next morning, I took the people to the manor. The crime is not harassment of students. It's a matter of communicating with the servants in the palace, inquiring about the whereabouts of the family's descendants. When this hat fell, Lieu Nhu Mi could not save her no matter how much she cried. When the news reached the palace, Tieu Thua Canh was so angry that he broke the script. He sent someone to call me to the lobby. I won't go. He personally arrived outside Hanh Vu courtyard. The brass lock is still hanging there. He stood outside the door, his eyes gloomy. "Shen Lenh Nghi, do you have to force everyone next to Nhu Mi to die?" I sat in the yard, sewing tie strings for Tieu Nghien's cloak. "Vuong's words are very strange." "If her people don't do things against their conscience, who can force them?" Tieu Thua Canh said coldly: "It's just a piece of paper." I raised my eyes. "If that note was written for Lieu Trac Phi, saying that the child in her womb was only the second child, would the Prince still think that it was just that?" His face suddenly changed. I smiled. "If the knife doesn't fall on the top of the heart, the Prince will always feel relieved." Tieu Thua Canh lowered his voice. "Nha Mi is pregnant now, can't you tolerate her a little bit?" The needle in my hand still did not stop. "When she was not pregnant, people told me to use her." "She already has a child, people still told me to use her." "Wang, why don't you just say it frankly, my life is in the way of her." He said angrily: “What nonsense are you talking about?” Finally, I put down the needle and thread. "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, the King knows in his heart." There was silence outside the door for a moment. He suddenly said: "If Nhu Mi gives birth to a son, Tieu Nghien's position may not change." I look at him. This word sounds like a blessing. It's essentially an exploration.

I asked: "What position?" He frowned. "The position of heir to Doan Vuong Palace." I laughed out loud. "Finally, the Royal Family also acknowledged his position." Tieu Thua Canh's face was a bit stiff. I continued to say: "Unfortunately, this position was not given by the Royal Family." "It was Tong Chinh Tu's seal, the Queen Mother personally approved." "If the Royal Family wants to take it as a favor, first ask if they agree or not." His eyes were cold. "Shen Lenh Nghi, there will come a day when you will regret pushing this king away." I bowed my head and picked up the needle again. "The Royal Family has forgotten again." "It is the person who made the oath not to enter the courtyard." "I'm just keeping my word." He was stopped by this sentence for a long time and didn't speak. Finally, he waved his sleeves and left. I looked at his back, there was not even a half wavering in my heart. Tieu Nghien walked out of the study room. Just now he heard everything. I asked: "Have you finished your homework yet?" It said: “It's done.” I saw that his face was much more stable than a few days ago. "Are you scared about the paper?" He shook his head. "At first I was scared." "Then I thought clearly." "Even if I'm scared, I can't make others stop." I nodded. "So what should you do?" He replied: "Make yourself more useful." I smiled. "Only half right." He looked at me suspiciously. I say: "Useful people will be fought over and will also be taken advantage of."
