4My eyes were filled with a layer of mockery. But Bui Duc. Up to this moment, you are still lying to me. I gave you the opportunity to be frank. After tonight, you will never find me again. The next morning, Bui Duc woke up, out of habit wrapped his arms around my waist, but only touched empty space. On the bed of Truong Thanh Cung, there was only him and a blanket left. Bui Duc rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Dieu Dieu?" Not seeing my clothes, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly burst into laughter. "Dieu Dieu woke up so early today, are you preparing a surprise for me?" "Where are you, change your clothes." The door made a soft sound, someone pushed the door open and walked in. When he smelled the familiar scent, Bui Duc immediately woke up and turned his head. "Tham To Tran! Why you?" He immediately looked panicked and used his strength to push people out. "Get out!" "Who allowed you to come in here? If Dieu Dieu sees, I will make you die without a place to bury you!" Tham To Tran was pushed to the ground, hit the sharp edge behind, and his forehead was broken. The anger was red and swollen. "Your Majesty, you misunderstood Tran Nhi. Just now, the person next to the Queen sent a message, telling Tran Nhi to come here to serve..." Bui Duc's face immediately changed. "What did you say? The Queen told you to come here?" It seemed like he suddenly thought of something, his face turned pale, extremely panicked. He didn't bother to continue changing his clothes, put on his nightgown, and rushed out like a lunatic. "Dieu Dieu!" "Van Dieu!" "Queen, where are you?" Bui Duc frantically searched all over Truong Thanh Palace, but could not find a trace of me. He rushed out of Truong Thanh Palace, grabbed everyone he met and asked. "Have you seen the Queen?" Bui Duc, who was always elegant and dignified, valued etiquette, had never struggled or lost his temper like today. The palace staff were all scared and could only shake their heads. "No. I have never seen the Queen." That whole day, Bui Duc did not come to court. He went through every palace in the royal palace, even Thinh Phong Tieu Truc was searched. But still couldn't find me. Finally, he remembered Thu Tu. When Bui Duc rushed into the servant's courtyard, Thu Tu was holding a broom to sweep the yard. "Thu Tu, you are a close maid of the Queen, you must know Dieu Dieu's whereabouts. Tell me, where has Dieu Dieu gone?" Thu Tu raised her head to look at him, then bent down to continue sweeping the yard. Just calmly said one sentence: "The Queen is gone." Bui Duc was stunned on the spot, not daring to believe his ears. "Gone?" "Going to what? The royal palace is Dieu Dieu's home. Since Dieu Dieu is gone, where else can he go?" "You and I have been together for eight years, there has never been a time without saying goodbye." "You said, wherever you go, you will let me know." Bui Duc muttered like a lunatic. non-stop. Thu Tu just listened quietly, not saying a word. Finally, Bui Duc got angry. "You brazen and humble servant, you dare to deceive me!" "Quickly tell me the truth, tell me the Queen's whereabouts, otherwise I absolutely will not forgive you!" Thu Tu smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in her eyes. She was not afraid of the emperor's might and still stood up to defend me. Just because I once saved her life. At this moment, Thu Tu slowly knelt down, word by word saying clearly: "The Queen named Van said, she has returned to the devil. From now on, in heaven and on earth, the Emperor will never be able to find her." "This morning the Emperor must have met Miss Tham?" "That is what the Queen told her servants to do before leaving." "The Queen said, the Emperor and Miss Tham are on good terms, why do they still have to secretly meet and let her return?" become a sinner?" "The queen said, she will completely leave, to fulfill the needs of the emperor and Miss Tham." Bui Duc's face remained

The remaining blood, little by little, receded. Until he became as white as a sheet of paper. "You said... Miss Dieu Dieu, already knew about Tham To Tran?" "No way!" "I'm so careful, I've never let Dieu Dieu find out. How could she know? It must be you, this servant, who is lying!" Bui Duc's mouth said he didn't believe it, but his whole body was shaking non-stop. He knows clearly. I am not a mortal. Thu Tu smiled coldly. "The Emperor thinks he hides himself very well. But in this world, there is no wall that does not let in the wind, nor can paper contain fire." "Moreover, the girl Tham that the Emperor secretly raised and kept hidden, is not a person who is willing to stay in peace. She is not willing to hide behind the curtain forever, she also wants to compete for the Queen's throne." As he said, Thu Tu stepped forward and gave Bui Duc a piece of paper. Inside were densely provocative words. "Van Dieu, do you really think you can firmly sit on the throne of Queen?" "Even though Bui Duc disbanded the harem for you, he still hid me in the palace. I am not the Princess's friend, that is just an excuse for me to stay in the palace." "Van Dieu, Bui Duc is infatuated with my body to the extreme. Have you ever seen his crazy appearance on the dragon bed? I have seen it." "That's the most primitive animal instinct of a man. He's never been like that in front of you, right?" "Admit it, he doesn't love you that much. The Queen Mother and the Princess both know about my existence, do you think you can still keep your position as Queen?" Bui Duc read every word. The blue veins on the back of his hand were bulging. I almost tore the paper to pieces. He recognized very clearly who these handwriting belonged to. "Tham To Tran!" "It turned out to be you!"
