Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — The Husband takes on two duties, we reconcile and become a Princess
The rewards in the palace flow one after another like a stream of water flowing into Tuc Than Vuong Palace. This should have been the ultimate glory, after this, no one can surpass my father. Afterwards, His Majesty's younger brother, Vuong Hoai, rebelled. Among those implicated, there were also officials who were recommended by my father that year, and among them there were also people holding the position of head of a continent. Although the rebels were exterminated and the leader was also executed, before he died, someone insisted that my father was also involved, plotting big things with them. They said that the promotion that year was a conspiracy, part of my father's plan to help start a business. Not only that, they also searched my palace and found correspondence between my father and Hoai Vuong, which even lasted for three years. Your Majesty is angry, but my father has not received any news. That very day, my father was thrown into prison, then the Tuc Than Vuong palace was confiscated, only me and my nanny escaped. Before the interrogation could take place, my father "committed suicide for his crime" in prison, and my mother also used her death to prove it and followed him. This matter was destined to go down like that. The nanny saw that the general situation was decided, so she took me with her to find a place to live. This is all we know about the end of this story. His Majesty let out a sigh: "That year, I intentionally let someone secretly let you and that nanny go, because I didn't believe your father was that kind of person!" I smiled softly. That year, when I heard what my nanny said, I felt that this was the emperor's intention. Otherwise, I am the only bloodline of Tuc Than Vuong Palace, and I am in the capital under strict guard, how could I escape? In the palace, from His Majesty's mouth, I personally heard the second half of the story. That year, the emperor arrested my father and issued an order to confiscate the family property. It was all just an illusion. The Emperor just wanted to use this opportunity to find the remaining rebels, but he did not expect that, just one day, my father "committed suicide for his crime" in prison. Even my mother's death was disguised as martyrdom. Everything seemed to fall into a dead end, the culprit behind was hidden, all traces were erased. The Emperor decided to follow suit and secretly arrange for people to investigate. But the situation at that time was too chaotic, interests inside and outside the court were intertwined, middlemen and crooks were difficult to distinguish. He could not determine who was innocent and who was dragged into the mud, causing the investigation to progress extremely slowly. It was not until five years ago that Ta Hoai Nghia entered the court that the emperor decided to give him full authority to handle this entire case. He silently followed every clue, step by step disassembled the old network, until three years ago he truly had a breakthrough, from which he tracked down the remaining rebels, one by one they were brought to light and punished. After the overall situation gradually became clear, the next thing they did was find me. The Emperor sent people to follow the traces of the past, to find the people who had secretly escorted my nanny and me through each gate. But some are missing with unknown whereabouts, some are dead, some are lost, all clues are almost completely cut off. From then on, the emperor completely lost my trace. This is what made him realize, side After that year's case, it is very possible that there is still someone who has not yet appeared, a hand still silently manipulating everything. It's just that all these years, the real "me" has never appeared. No trace, no news. Therefore, from beginning to end, the emperor thought that I had passed away early in the incident that year. I looked at the emperor: "So now, the person behind hasn't shown up yet?" The Emperor shook his head.
"Not yet. I can't figure out what they want, and I don't understand why they had to hide your whereabouts for so many years."
I don't understand either. In the Tieu village for all these years, apart from the first days of being bullied by the village children, after that I almost never saw any strangers appear. Tuc Than Vuong's mansion has been confiscated for a long time, and my parents have passed away for many years, so what else is there that is worth being obsessed with, even having to hide my whereabouts to such an extent? Your Majesty looked at me:
"The Tuc Than Vuong Palace has always been empty. Since you have returned, why not restore the Tuc Than Vuong Palace? That is your home, there should be some of your memories there."
Of course I have no objections. For me, Tuc Than Vuong Palace will always be a place in my heart and a pain in my heart. According to the emperor's wishes, Niep Nie and I will temporarily stay in the palace for a few days. During this time, His Majesty will send someone to urgently repair Tuc Than Vuong Palace. We followed the palace servants out of the palace and walked out into the long hallway. When it was time to say goodbye, Ta Hoai Nghia slowly put Niep Niep down, as if he was still reluctant to let go.
