Chapter 24 — The Crown Prince just got married, King Tinh is already waiting outside my room

It wasn't until he was sitting in the carriage returning to the palace that he suddenly swung his hand and slammed his fist on the wall of the carriage, making a dull and heavy sound.

“Dare like that…” Tieu Dien spoke in a cold voice, his eyes filled with anger and murderous intent that made people scared.

“King!”

I quickly grabbed his hand that had just hit the car wall, my palm was hot and red. Looking at his profile face tense with anger, my heart felt both bitter and warm at the same time. You are angry because I am controlled by someone else.

“I'm okay.”

I lowered my voice softly, slowly smoothed his clenched fist, intertwining ten fingers together.

"Your Majesty just needs some peace of mind. You stay outside, I stay inside, everyone's peace is the best thing."

He turned his head, his deep eyes locked on me, in them were countless complex emotions, some anger, some unwillingness, and even more dense anxiety that could not be dissolved.

“The northern region is bitter and cold, the situation is complicated, I…”

“I will take good care of myself.”

I interrupted him, looking straight at him with steady eyes.

"You're outside, there's no need to be distracted by me. The capital, everything, already has me."

He looked at me for a long time. The murderous aura at the bottom of his eyes gradually subsided, turning into a deep gentleness that could almost drown him in it. He raised his hand, gently hugged me, his chin resting on the top of my head, his voice low but steadfast.

“Wait for me to return.”

“It won't take long.”

Three days later, King Tinh left the capital. I stood on the city wall, watching the cold armored army, like a black flood, surrounding that tall and tough figure, gradually disappearing at the end of the official path. The autumn wind blew my cloak around me, bringing with it cold waves that penetrated my bones. Until I could no longer see the silhouette of that team, I slowly turned around, straightened my spine, and stepped down from the city wall. The carriage of Tinh Vuong Palace was waiting below. The car curtain was lifted, inside waiting for me was a completely different identity, with a smokeless but extremely dangerous battle. Returning to the royal palace, I buried all my emotions deep in my heart, starting with the identity of Princess Tinh, officially taking over the management of this large royal palace. Books, personnel, interactions... all the clues are confusing, but under our hands they are handled neatly and neatly. What I learned in my previous life as a maid, now I finally have a place to use martial arts. I understand very clearly that only when Tinh Vuong Palace is managed as tightly as an iron barrel can Tieu Dien far away in the North no longer have any worries behind him. At the same time, this is also my way of telling the entire capital that is secretly watching that I not only have a title, but also have the ability and worthy position. During that time, I followed proper etiquette to go to the palace to greet the queen, without being arrogant or shy, and responding in moderation. Faced with the probing, challenging, and even difficult words of other noble ladies, we can all use a few gentle words to push thousands of pounds and calmly resolve them. Gradually, those eyes that once carried pity, gloating or contempt turned into true respect. Crown Princess To Nguyet Nhu also "coincidentally met" me several times, in words There was no shortage of sarcasm and provocation, implying that I was kept in the capital by His Majesty like an abandoned chess piece. I just smiled faintly, instead asked her if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was well these days. I heard that the Eastern Palace had just added a few more beauties? Seeing her face immediately stiffen, I immediately understood that life in Dong Cung was not as glorious as it seemed on the outside. Time is like flowing water, passing quietly. The North constantly had news coming back, mostly news of victories. Tieu Dien used lightning tricks to reorganize the border troops, repeatedly repelling Ho's harassing army, and his reputation grew higher and higher. Along with the war reports sent back, there was also the family letter he wrote to me. The letters were not long, sometimes just a few lines of peace reports, sometimes mentioning the wind and sand of the North, saying that they suddenly remembered the breakfast dish of a certain restaurant in the capital. I read each letter over and over again, then carefully keep it. Behind those cold handwriting, there is a longing he has never expressed. Autumn passed and winter came, the capital welcomed the first snow of the season. That day, I was sitting in the dining room checking the list of gifts for the New Year, when the butler rushed in to report, his expression serious.

"Your Highness, there is news in the palace that your Majesty... your Majesty suddenly became seriously ill last night, vomiting blood non-stop, and is now in a coma!"

My heart suddenly sank! The Emperor is critically ill! Almost at the same time, outside the palace there was a chaos of rushing horse hooves and the sound of armor colliding! I could vaguely hear the soldiers shouting and the people's screams.

"Your Highness! This is not good! The capital has nine gates under curfew, the Eastern Palace guards have taken over the imperial city's department! Outside our palace... has also been surrounded!"

The guard leader strode in, knelt on one knee, his voice urgent. Indeed it has arrived! Crown Prince Tieu Duc wanted to take advantage of the emperor's serious illness to force a mutiny in the palace to take the throne!
