Chapter 7 — The day after the wedding, he had to kneel and call me Queen

"Please... respect the past years between us, forgive Vi Nhi this time... She... she really doesn't know anything..."

Come to this country. He still protects Tham Vi. It is truly a deep and meaningful love. I withdrew my hand and laughed softly.

“Love?”

It's like I just heard the funniest story in the world.

“What love story are you talking about?”

"It was a broken friendship when, for Tham Vi, you knelt for three days and three nights in the Prime Minister's study room."

“Please ask my father to do it for you two?”

"Or maybe it's about breaking up the relationship when, before the big wedding day, you send someone to deliver a marriage letter."

“And then throw my Tham family's dignity to the ground and trample on it over and over again?”

“Co Yen Thanh.”

“There has long been no longer any friendship between you and me.”

"The rest can only be distinguished by the gods and the hierarchy."

I turned around and never looked at him again.

“Miss Dung, this palace is tired.”

“Yes, my lady.”

Miss Dung immediately understood. She raised her voice.

“Where are you?”

“Vu An Marquis arbitrarily broke into the harem and insulted the Queen.”

“Fine, one year of benefits.”

“Detention in the palace for three months.”

“Closed for self-criticism.”

“Vu An Marquis Lady Tham Thi, her rude words and behavior have offended the Central Palace.”

"The decree... hit the staff twenty times, to deter future people!"

Twenty strokes of the staff! This sentence just ended. The whole main hall immediately shook. Those twenty staffs struck down. Even if you don't die. At least half a year to a year must be bedridden. Whether or not he can fully recover is another matter. This clearly took away half of Tham Vi's life.

"No! Don't! Don't!"

Tham Vi was so scared that her soul flew away and she screamed loudly. Co Yen Thanh's eyes were about to crack open.

"Tham Uyen! You dare!"

“What does this Palace not dare to do?”

I turned my head and looked at him coldly.

“In this harem.”

“This palace is the rule.”

“Pull down.”

“Immediate execution!”

“Obey!”

The guards did not hesitate any longer. They immediately held Tham Vi, who was crying, screaming, and struggling wildly, then pulled her straight out.

"Co Lang! Save me!"

"Save me! Co Lang!"

Tham Vi's mournful cries gradually faded away. Co Yen Thanh was forced to the ground by the guards. He could only stare blankly at it all. But completely helpless. He was like a cornered wild beast. All the strength in my body seemed to be drained away. His whole body collapsed, he knelt to the ground. He raised his head to look at me. In those eyes, there was no longer the arrogance of the past. Only grayness, despair and endless suffering remain. From today. Three words Co Yen Thanh. For me. There will no longer be any threat. But the real counterattack belongs to us. It's only just begun. Tham Vi was dragged outside to be punished. Not long after. Outside the hall came the sound of a heavy staff continuously pounding on the skin. Along with her heart-wrenching screams. End of this sound. To another language. It was like each blow of a hammer hitting Co Yen Thanh straight in the heart. His face was as white as paper. The whole body kept shaking, completely out of control. The ladies in the main hall were as quiet as cicadas in winter. Not even breathing hard dare. I still sit respectfully on the main seat. The face had no expression at all. The tea cup in his hand was still held intact. Haven't even taken a sip yet. Let the tea cool little by little. I want everyone to know. The majesty of the Kun Ninh palace. Absolutely do not allow anyone to provoke you. I, Tham Uyen, have long since ceased to be the woman of the General's Palace that others can hold in the palm of their hand. Don't know how much time has passed. The miserable screams outside gradually weakened. In the end, only extremely weak moans remained. A eunuch in charge of the execution stepped in to report.

"To inform you, Lady Vu An Marquis, Mrs. Tham Thi has completed her punishment and is now unconscious."

I replied softly.

“Carry it back to the Marquis Palace.”

“Remember to take good care of yourself.”

“Don't let her die.”

"This palace also wants to keep her to always remind Marquis that people must know how to write the word 'fear'."

These words. I intentionally told Co Yen Thanh. He suddenly raised his head. In his blood-red eyes, there was a mixture of bone-deep hatred and profound helplessness.
