Chapter 20 — The Husband takes on two duties, we reconcile and become a Princess

"Recently in the palace, she told Uncle Tham to keep a close eye on the servants. Everyone who goes out must register to avoid anyone mixing in. If you want to go out, I will go with you. For now, just like that, I'll go back and sleep for a while."

We pulled him back. He turned his head and gently stroked my hair.

"Don't worry, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to attack in Tuc Vuong Palace. I'm here."

I shook my head:

"You... just stay in the palace to rest, it's not like there's no place. You don't have to feel secure, you still have to run around a few places."

He was clearly stunned, his ears also turned red.

"That's... I'm afraid it's not good, it will affect her reputation. Moreover, she hasn't made up her mind yet."

I pushed him towards the next hospital.

"The arrangements have been made. If there's anything you're not familiar with, just send someone to bring the things over, just... practice getting used to it first."

After speaking, I didn't look at him, nor did I give him a chance to speak, so I directly closed the door and left. For the next few days, Ta Hoai Nghia stayed at Tuc Vuong Palace. During the day he wanders around outside, only coming back to sleep at night. Before going to bed, he played with Niep Niep for a while, then told me a few words about progress. Sometimes he could only say a few words... he fell asleep. We see all of that. The human heart... is not made of stone. We will also be touched, we will also feel sad. I told the kitchen to make a few more of his favorite dishes. Although he didn't say anything, the joy was clear in his eyes. Although staying in the palace is somewhat boring, at this time, I don't want to cause more trouble. I refused all invitations, including Ha Ninh Phu's. Even when Bach Chi Suong personally came to see me and wanted me to visit Tieu Dich Han, I directly told Uncle Tham to refuse. In the days that followed... rumors about me began to spread. Not only in restaurants, but also posted on the streets, spreading to the point of causing a stir everywhere. Uncle Tham also specially brought a copy for me to see. Looking at the content on it, I curled my lips slightly. Bach Chi Suong really knows how to make up stories. She said that I shamelessly married Tieu Dich Han for money, and after knowing her identity, she plotted a divorce and even turned to deal with him. He even said I wanted to kill his whole family... to hide my reputation. This fabrication has a beginning and an end... but unfortunately she forgot one thing. I... am no longer the lonely girl from before. Right now I am Princess Thanh Ha. Behind me, there is His Majesty and the Queen backing me... and there are people who are truly on my side. On the same day, Nha Mon posted a notice. The entire story between us and them was published clearly, without missing a single detail. There is also a letter of separation... and a letter of severance of relations. She can use money... even more can I. I hired someone to write a story and let the teahouses tell it for free. As for the hooligans on the street, they only need a few meals to be able to command them. They gathered in front of the Tieu palace, "helping" them review the truth, telling it so vividly that it was lifelike...the leader's saliva was said to splash everywhere, splashing all over the faces of the remaining guys, but they all ignored it, still speaking with enthusiasm. His Majesty demoted Tieu Dich Han and ordered him to reflect at home. This time, Bach Chi Suong knelt at the gate of my palace, begging me to respect my old love, forgive Tieu Dich Han, and give him some dignity. In the government, we directly ignored it. She is still stubborn Kneeling there, even if it rains, it won't leave. The more like that... the more problematic it becomes. But I don't have the patience to continue messing with them. I took an umbrella and went out to meet her. The moment she saw me... she smiled. Then immediately fainted. As soon as doubt arose in my heart, a panicked nanny's voice came from within the palace:

"The princess! The little princess... is nowhere to be seen!"

The umbrella in my hand fell to the ground. I frantically ran towards the palace.

"Why is Niep Niep missing? Isn't she always in the palace? What are you doing? How many people can't take care of a child?"

The nanny rubbed her hands and stammered:

"The princess, Hoai mama came to visit the little princess. She said she would let the servant cook her a bowl of soup. The servant didn't think much of it. By the time he came back, the two of them were nowhere to be seen."

Hoai ma ma? I have never doubted you, not to mention His Majesty and Ta Hoai Nghia have both investigated your identity.

“Did you leave anything behind, or do you have any words?”

The nurse gave me a piece of paper. Written on it:

"At the moment of Mui, the abandoned Thanh Hoang temple outside the city met, carrying with it a portrait of Prince Tuc."

I frowned, not understanding why I had to bring the painting. That was the only thing I took out of the house that year. But at this point I also understand that all the misfortunes of Tuc Vuong Palace probably stem from this painting. I ordered someone to detain Bach Chi Suong, and at the same time sent someone to monitor Tieu Palace. The person behind seemed to understand me very well, and cleverly pulled them into this game.
