Chapter 22
Chapter 22 — The Pregnant Sister Robbed the Eastern Palace, Her Grandfather Brought a Tiger Talisman to Press the Power
The new daughter-in-law was adopted by the Queen, and the princess was personally ordained by the reigning saint - Tham Hoa Thuong! What injustice does she... have? Very quickly, the Crown Prince's guards sealed off the inside and outside of Ngo Mon. Immediately after that, three officials from the Criminal Department, Dai Ly Tu and Do Sat Vien simultaneously served as commanders to the jury. The emperor sat neatly on the upper floor of Ngo Mon citadel. The Queen stood next to her. And Crown Prince Tieu Canh Duc stood at the front of the castle, his face so gloomy that it looked like he was about to cry. He looked at the woman kneeling down there. Slim body. But the spine is still straight. My heart is full of hundreds of questions. He didn't expect... she would choose such a decisive approach. I kneel on the ground. Even though countless eyes around her were like needles stabbing at her body. I raised my head and faced the figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe on the citadel. Raise your voice and open your mouth.
“The goddess Fu Hua Thuong, now accuses the reigning Prime Minister Tham Trong Van, and the concubine Lieu Thi, of colluding together many years ago, to poison the mother of the goddess with the chronic poison ‘Khien Co’ – first of all, to condemn the reigning lady, Pho!”
“This is a witness!”
I pointed towards Mother Ngo who was being escorted by the guards. I was already so scared that my soul was scattered.
“This is evidence!”
I held up that wooden box. Inside, are letters testifying to the crime written by Tham Trong Van himself. Along with the remaining poison.
“This is a blood test!”
I took out that brocade box again. Inside is a broken nail that belonged to Lieu Thi.
"The evidence is as clear as day. I respectfully request that Your Majesty take care of my daughter and take care of my mother who died unjustly!"
Having finished speaking, I bowed my head heavily. Forehead touched the cold blue stone floor. But we still cannot extinguish the fire of revenge burning in our hearts. The whole school immediately became excited. When the Prime Minister poisoned and killed his wife! What an earth-shattering story this is. All eyes turned to Tham Trong Van and Lieu Thi - the two people who were also escorted here. They wore prison clothes and their hair was loose. There is still half of the prestige and dignity of the past. Tham Trong Van looked at me. His eyes were filled with resentment and confusion. He basically couldn't think of anything. Why do we want to push things to this point? Bad family cannot be exposed. Even if I get revenge, it will still make the Tham family a complete laughing stock. He thinks... I still care about the Tham family's reputation. He's wrong. I no longer care anymore. What we want is not just their lives. What I want... Is to make them lose their reputation, to have a bad reputation forever! The emperor's face was as dark as water. He looked towards Tham Trong Van.
“Tham Trong Van, is what you said true or not?”
Tham Trong Van still wants to make excuses.
"Your Majesty, it's unjust! This is all slander! It's him..."
At that moment, Crown Prince Tieu Canh Duc suddenly shouted loudly. He walked down from the castle wall step by step. Come in front of me. He looked at me, his eyes extremely complicated. There is outrage. I can't bear it. There is disappointment. There was even awe that even he had never realized. Since the moment we beat the Dang Van drum. The last bit of love between us... Yes completely interrupted. You will never be able to control me again. He slowly accepted the evidence in my hands. Then turned around, facing the emperor. Kneel on one knee to the ground.
“Father.”
“I am guilty.”
"Tham Trong Van is my son-in-law. He committed such a heinous crime, my son is also guilty of looking at people unclearly."
“I beg your father to allow me to personally examine this case.”
"I will definitely give the world an explanation. Also give Madam Fu who died unjustly a justice!"
His words resonated strongly. Just showing his stance of great righteousness and self-destruction. At the same time, he also held the right to proactively investigate the case tightly in his hands. It even completely cut off Tham Trong Van's entire lifeline. The Emperor looked at him. Be quiet for a long time. Finally, he slowly nodded. That one word. The final outcome of Tham Trong Van and Lieu Thi has been decided. It also puts an end to this cruel crime that lasted for many years. The Crown Prince personally judged. Three jury companies. The results are of course not without any suspense. In the face of evidence as hard as a mountain. Before Mother Ngo's accusations, tears filled her eyes. The psychological defense of Tham Trong Van and Lieu Thi completely collapsed. They bowed their heads and admitted their guilt. Admitting all the acts of poisoning and killing my mother - the Deputy - in the past. Even while both sides push responsibility to each other.
