Chapter 19
Chapter 19 — The Husband takes on two duties, we reconcile and become a Princess
Waiting for the doctor to come, he simply bandaged me, told me not to touch water for a few days, and to abstain from certain foods. Not long after, each basin of bloody water was brought out. Hoai's mother had a sad look on her face and personally sent the doctor to the door. She didn't even bother to blame the maid for her careless work. She just quietly returned, looking as if she had lost her soul.
“My lord, if I act like that… is it okay?”
I gave her a big affirmative nod. Immediately after that, she turned to Ta Hoai Nghia and scolded:
"My poor princess... Didn't Mr. Ta say he would protect the princess well... who in the world did this? I have to go to the palace to prosecute... you go, Tuc Vuong Palace does not welcome you!"
After that, Ta Hoai Nghia was kicked out of the palace. There are only three of us left in the room. Niep Nie blinked at me, I raised my hand to signal her not to speak. A moment later, Uncle Tham also walked in and shook his head at me. Although I was anxious inside, I didn't show it on the outside. There are definitely still insiders in the government. Furthermore, I can almost confirm... they will attack tonight. The four of us stayed up all night. Sometimes blood and water were brought out from the room, and sometimes there were cries. It was almost dawn when I heard the door open. I pretended to be fast asleep, listening to the sound of footsteps, it seemed like there wasn't just one person. They sneaked in, heading straight towards me. Just as the dagger stabbed towards me... Ta Hoai Nghia broke through the window and rushed in, directly overpowering them. They realized this was a trap and tried to run away, but the outside was full of guards. This time, Ta Hoai Nghia acted extremely decisively, without any hesitation. As soon as he controlled them, he immediately dislocated their jaws, completely eliminating the possibility of biting off the poison and committing suicide, and then dragged them straight for interrogation.
"Last night we searched all night, but still couldn't find anything. Tri Kien, you should sleep for a while. When you wake up, I'll make sure all the nails stuck in the house have been pulled out."
I looked at him, intending to tell him to rest a bit, but he just waved his hand.
"This matter is insignificant to me. It's okay for you to take care of yourself. When you wake up, you have to arrange your internal affairs."
The palace became clean... making me feel a little excited again. But thinking about the martyr who committed suicide yesterday, I still feel regretful. It's just that after going through this, they're afraid it will speed up the progress. After all, there is no more internal support in the palace, so they will definitely be impatient. In my mind, I kept thinking about what other tricks they could pull, then I thought about where in this capital city, those three martyrs could hide... Without realizing it, I fell asleep. When I woke up, the sun was already high. I heard Niep Niep's voice outside, Hoai ma ma and nanny were playing with her. Ta Hoai Nghia quietly walked in, saw that I had changed into neat clothes, and a happy look appeared on my face.
“She woke up at the right time, not betraying the mandate.”
I also laugh:
“Hoai Nghia is indeed not ordinary, he can do anything.”
He pointed his finger at me:
"Hurry, take the time to eat breakfast. I have to go to the palace later, this matter still needs your Majesty to decide."
I nodded, personally scooped porridge for him, and picked up food for him and Niep Niep. He finished eating, leaned back in his chair, and sighed:
“Life like this... is so good, I even regret it I don't want to move anymore."
Let's think for a moment:
"If you rest here for a while, His Majesty probably won't blame you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up.
“They have finally appeared, we must pursue victory. Once you're done, you'll have time to rest later. I'll go first, don't leave the palace today, it won't be the same for the next few days."
I nodded in agreement. What happened yesterday... we can't let it happen again. After Ta Hoai Nghia left, I called all the maids in the palace to come. After yesterday's incident, everyone was nervous and afraid. After all, among the insiders, there are people who used to be close friends of my father, and there are also people from my mother's hospital, most of whom are in the purchasing department. That place has the most people coming in and out, and the most freely, making it convenient for them to communicate. We restore new rules in the palace. You can't make your ex coldhearted... but you also can't let them become arrogant. After arranging the internal affairs, I suddenly remembered Bach Chi Suong appearing that day. Immediately sent someone out to find out news about the Tieu palace. I don't believe that Tieu Dich Han is really that sick, and it also coincides with that day. When the little monk returned to report that Tieu Dich Han was really sick and had invited more than a dozen doctors, I was a bit surprised. But the relationship between me and him... was soon destroyed. Even if he dies... it has nothing to do with me. On the contrary, it reduces work for us. At night, Ta Hoai Nghia returned.
“Your Majesty has sent someone to investigate. There are some places where we can't take action, but Your Majesty, there's no place we can't investigate. It's just that those three guys... seem to have disappeared without a trace."
