Chapter 11
Chapter 11 — The Pregnant Sister Robbed the Eastern Palace, Her Grandfather Brought a Tiger Talisman to Press the Power
Hearing that solution, the last bit of blood on Tham Thanh Nguyet's face completely disappeared. She lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, dragged out by two ghosts. From beginning to end... Tieu Canh Duc never looked at her again. His heart... Completely dead. Or should we say… Completely filled with hatred. After everything is done. The new queen slowly stood up. She looked at the concubines who were too scared to move and said coldly.
“Today's story, if even half a word spreads out of Phuong Nghi palace…”
“You must know what your end will be.”
“Go back down, everyone.”
The concubines seemed to receive a general amnesty, everyone quickly bowed and left in panic. Very soon, there were only four people left in the vast Phuong Nghi palace. And Van Chau. The Queen walked in front of Tieu Canh Duc. Looking at her son who was losing his soul, a sad look flashed in her eyes. She did not comfort me at all. Instead... She raised her hand and slapped him fiercely. The clear echo echoed throughout the empty hall. Tieu Canh Duc was hit with his head tilted to one side, five finger marks immediately appeared on his face. He didn't get angry. Just slowly raised his head and looked at his mother.
"Refuse!"
The Queen scolded angrily.
“Just because of a woman, you turned into such a devil!”
"Where are your intentions? Where are your tricks?"
“Being planned by others to this extent, you still have the face to stand here lost and lost!”
“Remember this carefully!”
"You are the Crown Prince! The future emperor!"
"Your enemy has put a knife on your neck! If you still don't wake up, then just wait and die!"
Every sentence from the Queen was like a needle piercing Tieu Canh Duc's heart. His eyes gradually went from empty to condensed. Little by little... The fire called "hatred" ignited. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.
“Mother, I know I was wrong.”
“Tieu Canh Ham… I will absolutely not forgive him!”
The Queen nodded slightly. She turned to look at me. Her eyes returned to the bottomless and searching look like before.
“Hoa Thuong.”
“How do you feel about this?”
This is another test for me. I pondered for a moment then slowly opened my mouth.
“Mother, this is not ordinary.”
"Thuy Nhi and that doctor are just witnesses. The second prince can completely deny it, saying that we used extreme torture to force the confession."
“Right now, what we lack is physical evidence.”
"A piece of ironclad evidence that he cannot deny."
There was a glimpse of appreciation in the Queen's eyes.
“Go ahead.”
"If Thuy Nhi is a member of the Second Prince, then there must be a way to communicate between her and the Second Prince."
“It could be a token, it could also be a letter.”
“Those things are definitely hidden in Tham Thanh Nguyet's yard.”
“If we just find them, it will be ironclad proof!”
Having finished speaking, I raised my head to face the Queen's eyes.
“I beg your mother to allow me to return to the Prime Minister's mansion.”
“Personally come and search my sister's 'Thanh Nguyet Pavilion'.”
“Only I am the one who understands Her habits are the best, and she knows best where she will hide things."
The Queen's decision was surprisingly quick. She immediately gave orders. The deputy commander of the Crown Prince's guards was ordered to lead an elite team to escort me back to the general's palace. Her external title is to protect the Queen's newly adopted daughter-in-law. But in reality... It's a blockade of the entire government, preventing anyone from spreading news or destroying evidence. This military guard team only listens to the mobilization orders of the Crown Prince and Queen. It is the most core force of the Eastern Palace. The fact that the Queen was willing to mobilize this entire army was proof enough... She was really angry with the Second Prince. The carriage stopped in front of the general's palace gate. Father Tham Trong Van and stepmother Lieu Thi had already led everyone in the palace to kneel outside the door to welcome him. Their faces were filled with panic and confusion. They only know that I was summoned to the palace by the Queen. But we don't know at all... how earth-shattering the palace's upheavals have occurred. When he saw me stepping down from the magnificent carriage carrying the ceremonial staff of the Eastern Palace. When I saw behind me was a team of royal guards with sky-high murderous intent. Their eyes were all wide open. Especially Lieu Thi, her face, which had been carefully taken care of, instantly lost all color. She couldn't understand it anyway. A woman like me who was divorced... How could she change her life in the blink of an eye and still have such great momentum? I don't pay attention to them.
