Chapter 8 — The Pregnant Sister Robbed the Eastern Palace, Her Grandfather Brought a Tiger Talisman to Press the Power

The Queen laughed. But that smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

“Very well said.”

"So tell me, who do you think did this time?"

She finally asked the main issue. Our answer will determine our own future destiny. I don't answer directly. Instead, ask a question.

"Your Majesty feels, after this incident, who will benefit the most?"

The Queen's eyes moved slightly.

“The crown prince was humiliated, the Tham family and the Pho family became dissociated from the royal family, and the Eastern palace became unstable.”

“The one who benefits is naturally the Crown Prince's opponent.”

Her voice gradually cooled down. I nodded slightly.

“Not wrong.”

"Someone who can take out a miracle medicine like 'Bat Tuong Phung' can also simultaneously arrange the situation in the palace and the general's palace, and also control everyone's psychology."

“This person's intentions, methods, and power are absolutely not ordinary.”

"What he wants is not the baby in Tham Thanh Nguyet's belly, nor my life, Tham Hoa Thuong."

"He wants to use this internal storm to shake the country and shake the position of the Eastern Palace."

“What he wants…”

“It's this world.”

My words made the atmosphere in Truong Tin Palace seem to freeze. The queen didn't say anything for a long time. She just looked at me, her eyes growing brighter and brighter. She knew... I saw through it. But I also know... She has been thinking about this level for a long time. It's just that she needs someone smart to say it out loud for her. It also takes a smart person... To make the knife in her hand.

“What do you want?”

She finally opened her mouth.

“I want to abolish Tham Thanh Nguyet, so that she must pay the price for today's humiliation.”

“I want to investigate clearly the cause of my mother's death in the past.”

"I also want all those ghosts hiding in the darkness to appear in the sunlight and receive judgment."

Each of our requests is greater than the previous request. But after hearing this, the Queen burst out laughing.

“This palace all agrees.”

“As long as you can help this palace get that rat out.”

She took off a jade bracelet of extremely good quality from her wrist and put it on my wrist herself.

"From today, you are the maid of honor of this palace."

“In this harem, except this palace and His Majesty, no one will be able to touch you.”

I gently caressed the cold bracelet on my wrist. The Queen and I... We have reached a transaction. A trade that uses the enemy's blood to pave the way. And our first target... is that stupid chess piece pushed out into the light - Tham Thanh Nguyet. We need a chance. Just a suitable opportunity is enough to make her completely collapse her defense line, spitting out all her long-buried secrets. But that opportunity... came very quickly. Van Chau is back. She didn't just bring back the pharmacy's hidden notebook. But also brought back someone... Someone completely beyond my expectations. Van Chau quietly returned to Tinh Tam Uyen on the night of the fourth day. Her body was covered in road dust, her face looked tired, but her eyes were surprisingly bright. What she brought back was a small bundle of oilcloth. A man was tied to a torture rack, his hands and feet were locked tightly, he could not move, even his mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth, he could only move. emitting muffled gurgling sounds.

“Miss, this slave did not disappoint your expectations.”

She opened the cloth bundle. Inside is a hidden notebook. Along with a small potion containing white powder.

“This is ‘Bat Tuong Phung’.”

Van Chau said.

"This slave went to investigate that pharmacy. On the outside it's just a normal pharmacy, but behind it is a black market specializing in the sale of forbidden drugs and miracle drugs."

“This book is their underground transaction book for the last three months.”

We open the notebook. I quickly saw the name "Bat Tuong Phung" in a transaction that took place seven days ago. The buyer used a fake name. But the amount of silver traded and the symbol of the person in charge are clearly written.

“Who is this man?”

I turned to look at the tied person. He was in his mid-thirties, had a normal appearance, and was looking at me in panic. Van Chau laughed coldly.

"He is the doctor who examines at that pharmacy, and is also the person who directly handles this transaction."

“When the servants found him, he was preparing to take his whole family and escape in the night.”

I stepped in front of that man and signaled Van Chau to remove the cloth stuffed in his mouth.

"Who are you? Who sent you here?"

As soon as the man could open his mouth, he immediately shouted loudly.

"I don't know anything! Who are you? Let me go!"

I don't pay attention to him.
