Chapter 5 — The Emperor gave me a wedding, the General publicly proposed me as his concubine, I threw away my veil and left

Luc Canh Tham suddenly raised his head. The Queen frowned slightly.

“What are you doing here?”

The soldier hesitated for a moment.

"Liu Thi said, the child in her womb is the eldest son of the Luc family, also the bloodline of the border, please pray for His Majesty to open a way for mother and child to live."

His Majesty has not yet had time to speak. Outside the palace, a woman's cry was heard again.

"The women are willing to die, just please don't get involved with the General."

When Lieu Thanh Ha was brought into the Tai Chi Palace, she was wearing a moon-white robe. Her face was very pale, her bun was tangled, it looked like it was blown by the night wind to the point where she couldn't even stand. However, her kneeling position was extremely precise, allowing everyone in the temple to see her slightly protruding lower abdomen. The lady followed her, her eyes were red and swollen, her steps frivolous. As soon as she entered the palace, she knelt down, her voice trembling.

"Your Majesty, my father did not teach me strictly, the crime deserves death."

Your Majesty did not tell me to stand up. Lieu Thanh Ha prostrated herself on the ground, her shoulders shaking slightly with each sob.

“Your Majesty, all mistakes are the people's fault.”

"A woman with an ungrateful fate, meeting the General first, but not daring to ask for fame."

"Tonight, the women entered the palace. They just wanted to apologize to Miss Lam, but they didn't expect things to turn out like this."

She spoke in broken sentences. Every sentence is like putting yourself on the edge of a knife. Luc Canh Tham's expression suddenly became tense.

“Thanh Ha, stop talking.”

Lieu Thanh Ha shook her head.

“General, let me speak.”

She raised her teary eyes and looked towards me.

“Lady Lam, if you hate me, then hate me.”

“I can leave the capital, I can also take the child far away.”

“I just ask you not to force the General.”

I look at her. The candlelight in the temple reflected in the bottom of her eyes, sparkling wet, pitifully weak. But every word she says is pushing me into the position of an evil person.

“Miss Lieu, just now you said you came to apologize?”

She replied softly:

“That's right.”

“So why did you enter the General's palace through the side door?”

She stopped. We continue to ask:

“If you really want to apologize, why don't you come before worshiping?”

"Why did you have to wait until after the ceremony was completed, just when General Luc said he wanted to take me down as his concubine, before you showed up?"

Lieu Thanh Ha's fingers tightened around the edge of her cloak.

“At that time, my body was not strong, so I arrived late.”

"My body is not healthy, but I can still stand at the main hall door and say every word so clearly."

My voice is not loud. But it stopped her crying for a moment. Luc Canh Tham frowned slightly.

"Lam Chieu Nha, Thanh Ha is pregnant, why do you need to force people so much?"

I look at him.

“She's pregnant, so what she said is true?”

Luc Canh Tham didn't know how to respond. The Queen calmly spoke:

“Lieu, this palace also has a few questions to ask you.”

Lieu Thanh Ha immediately bowed her head.

“You can just ask, lady.”

“How long have you been in the mansion in the west of the city?”

“Who arranged for you to be there?”

She bit her lip lightly.

“It's the General.”

“Does the Lady of the Lu family know about this?”

Lady Thai's face turned pale and she replied softly:

“Old man... just half a month ago know."

The Queen asked again:

“If you knew, why didn't you present it to report when the holy decree of marriage was given?”

The lady bowed her head lower.

"The old man was confused, he thought Canh Tham would handle it well."

His Majesty coldly said:

“The so-called handling of matters is to hand in a concubine right in the middle of the hall?”

Lady Thai's whole body trembled.

“Old man... don't dare.”

Lieu Thanh Ha suddenly straightened up.

“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother does not know the inside story.”

“It was a female citizen who begged the General not to say anything.”

"The female citizen comes from a lowly background and does not dare to destroy the General's future, nor does she dare to stand in the way of Miss Lam."

As she spoke, tears fell drop by drop.

“But the baby is already there.”

“Women do not seek a position as a wife, they only seek a place to live.”

I look at her.

“You don't want the position of main wife?”

She nodded with tears in her eyes.

“That's right.”

“So why did General Luc say he had a wife?”

Lieu Thanh Ha's face immediately stiffened. Step by step, step by step we press the question.

“If you don't ask, why does he dare to resist the order?”

“If you don't compete, why does he force me to be his concubine?”

“If you only asked for a place to live, then who sent the fake person to spread the word, wanting to take me back to the General's palace?”

A panic flashed across Lieu Thanh Ha's eyes.

"I don't know about the fake oral tradition."

The bodyguard kneeling outside the palace suddenly raised his head.

“Miss Liu, it was Mama Truong next to you who found me.”

Lieu Thanh Ha suddenly turned her head.

“You lied.”
