Chapter 8 — The Lady Who Flipped The Flag

The second prince's birth mother, the noble concubine, quickly walked into the palace. Behind her, a large number of private soldiers dressed in the uniform of the second prince's palace quickly rushed in, blocking all entrances to the Tai Chi Palace. The old emperor saw this, his eyes widened, pointing at the second prince. "Second prince, what are you doing!" The second prince strode forward, his face no longer showing respect from before. "Father, big brother has been deposed, this Dai Tan country seems to have no heir left." "Father's dragon body is insecure, so it's better to abdicate today and pass the throne to my son. I will definitely take care of father very well." Second Emperor. Not only did he want to kill Tieu Canh Duc, he also wanted to take advantage of the time when the Tran Vien army was in the barracks outside the city, defending the empty palace, and directly use force to seize power. Tieu Canh Duc looked at the second prince and suddenly let out a harsh, cruel laugh. "Father, have you seen? This is the real deranged thief! He has long wanted to rebel!" The second prince kicked Tieu Canh Duc in the chest, causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood. "Is an extinct scum worthy of competing with me for the throne?" The second prince laughed coldly. As soon as he said this, the old emperor looked at Tieu Canh Duc in shock. The second prince turned his head to look at the old emperor, his voice full of mockery. "Your father still doesn't know, right? This good big brother of mine, in the past, was injured on the battlefield. After many years of nursing, he only gave birth to a daughter." "That Diep Khinh Khinh is just a tool he used to deceive people. He would rather raise an illegitimate son instead of a salt merchant, but also have to deceive people about their country." Tieu Canh Duc's big secret is exposed. right in front of everyone. That was his deepest humiliation as a man, as a prince. His whole body convulsed, his face distorted to the extreme. The old emperor was angry and righteous, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of black blood, collapsing on the dragon's chair. "Negative children, are all cruel children..." The second prince pulled out his sword and gradually pressed towards the long chair. "Emperor, write a letter of abdication." Right at the moment he was about to step up the jade steps, the heavy door of the Tai Chi Palace was forcefully opened by someone outside. Before the second prince's private soldiers could react, they were shot to the ground by a thick rain of arrows. My father, Tran Vien general Tham Chan, wearing heavy armor, holding a long sword, led a large number of Tran Vien's elite troops to flood into the main hall, instantly cutting down more than half of the second prince's rebels. The second prince lost his expression in horror and continuously retreated. "Tham Chan, you dare to lead soldiers to arbitrarily rush into the forbidden palace!" My father strode forward, one knife cut off the second prince's right arm holding the sword. Fresh blood sprayed strongly, the second prince let out a scream like a pissed off pig, falling in a pool of blood. My father propped his blood-stained long knife on the ground and knelt on one knee before the old emperor on the dragon's chair. "The rescuer is late, please punish him. The second prince and the entire party have been annihilated." The old emperor looked across the hall full of broken limbs, looked at his two biological sons plotting rebellion, his eyes gradually disintegrating. He is no longer a prince. Jiangshan Dai Jin's lineage was completely interrupted. I adjusted my sleeves and slowly walked from the side of the hall to the middle of the main hall. "Your Majesty, the royal bloodline has never been broken." I looked straight into the old emperor's cloudy eyes. "The eldest daughter, Lang Duong, born to this concubine, is of pure royal blood. During the Dai Jin dynasty, there has never been a law saying that a female cannot succeed the throne."12 The old emperor stared at me. The dry lips opened and closed, but no sound came out

get some sound. My father stood up, holding a long sword in his hand. Several hundred generals of the Tran Vien army in the palace simultaneously took a step forward, the sound of armor clashing was deafening. "I beg your majesty to make Princess Lang Duong the crown prince, to stabilize the country!" My father's voice echoed in the main hall. Currently the entire capital is under the control of Tran Vien army. The old emperor could not even write a holy teaching that could only be passed out of the palace gates. He looked at my father, then looked at me, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He finally understood that in this battle for the throne, the crown prince and the second prince were both brokers, and my General Tran Vien was the real fisherman. The old emperor used the last of his strength, tremblingly held his hand, and stamped the jade sister on the blank decree he had prepared in advance. The moment the divine decree was finished, the old emperor swallowed his last breath. One month later. In the Dai Ly prison, I dressed in a royal empress dowager's uniform and went into the deepest cell. Tieu Canh Duc was locked on the wall with an iron chain, his hair was messy, and all four limbs were crippled. Hearing footsteps, he had difficulty raising his head. Seeing it was me, in his eyes there was no longer the calculation and arrogance from before, only endless fear. "Tri Tuyet, she's here." His voice was weak.
