Chapter 3 — The Queen and the Village Father Hold the Wrong Child
The village woman looked like a strangled chicken, her eyes wide open.
"You, you, I..." With a "thump" sound, she knelt to the ground: "The woman has no eyes, please spare my life!"
She nodded repeatedly, looking like she was scared out of her wits. But his left hand took advantage of the time he bowed his head and quickly hooked a cloth bag on his side. 【What's that strange smell?】 The little princess's suspicious voice rang out in her ear.
“The lady wanted to see… The lady didn't dare not give it…”
The village woman stood up tremblingly, suddenly her feet wobbled. In that shocking moment, her thumb quickly wiped the corner of the little princess's mouth. 【Phi Phi Phi! So bitter! My face is so itchy!】 My heart immediately sank and I quickly snatched the little princess away from the village woman. Looking down, I was immediately stunned. The little princess's normally clean and smooth face was covered with red rashes. Eyes swollen to a line, double eyelids disappeared. The corners of the mouth hung yellow blisters, extremely disgusting. The queen came closer to look and couldn't help but "gag" loudly.
"I have a dirty disease! The baby was born infected. I just want to save the last bit of dignity, why do you keep forcing me!"
Tears fell from the village women's eyes:
"Ladies, are you satisfied now? Can you return my child to me?"
The little princess who had just been complaining of pain now seemed to fall asleep, her eyes completely closed. I concentrate and listen, but I can no longer hear the little princess's heart! The village woman cried while using her dirty sleeve to wipe the little princess's face. The more she wiped, the scarier the red bump became. The Queen frowned and took a half step back.
“Also a pitiful person.”
“A Khuong, give her some silver to take the baby for treatment!”
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him. Just wait until I get the money to evict the village woman and this child.

“A Khuong?”
Seeing me slow and motionless, the Queen couldn't help but call out to me.
“Can't go.” I tried to force these two words out of my throat, but even I felt choked.
The village woman did not expect that there would still be obstacles, her eyes widened:
“Your master has already spoken, you still…”
"A Khuong, let her go, that child..." The Queen paused, unable to help but show a nauseated look: "It doesn't look like this palace at all."
I turned around, my knee hitting the stone slab with bone-chilling pain:
"Your Highness! I have served you for decades, I absolutely cannot lie! That child is truly a little princess!"
The Crown Prince sneered next to him: "Mother, I'm afraid this servant of yours is crazy? A child with a dirty disease, she insists on pulling you up, isn't she saying you're not decent?!" The Emperor also frowned: "Khuong Hoang, I respect the Queen for tolerating you many times, but today you are really too much! If this continues, I can punish you for defaming the royal family!" Just as the Queen was about to open her mouth to propose to me, Bich Kieu standing next to her couldn't help but speak:
"Niang Niang, you don't know, just now you were in a coma, this bastard kept making noises asking for a drop of blood to identify himself! In order to protect you, the Emperor willingly stabbed the dragon's body and took the blood himself!"
The Queen saw the bandage on the Emperor's index finger and finally got angry, her phoenix eyes turned cold:
"A Khuong! Stand up now. If you're still involved, don't blame this palace for not respecting old feelings!"
She turned her head away, using a towel to cover her mouth and nose: "This baby's smell is rotten, please take it out quickly." I knelt on the ground, my fingernails digging into my palms, causing pain. Are not! Little princess, there's only me left! My eyes lowered, and suddenly there was light in front of my eyes! On the leg of that village woman's pants there was a ring of yellow medicinal powder! I suddenly raised my head, my voice echoed throughout the deserted temple:
"Niang Niang! She has medicinal powder on her! The blisters on that child's face must have been caused by the stimulant she applied!"
The village woman's face immediately turned pale. At this moment, outside the abandoned temple, a powerful voice like a bell rang out:
"What are you still doing there? Get away!"
“Sister, brother brought the doctor to see you and the child!”
General Nien, wearing mysterious iron armor, strode in. Behind him, there was a royal doctor holding a medicine box and running towards him.
"Sister, as soon as I heard that you were in labor, a doctor immediately rushed over! Let me see where my little niece is?"
“Brother, you came at the right time!”
The queen signaled the doctor to go check on the baby. This time the village woman was completely frightened, holding the child and retreating back.
“No, no… My child has an infectious disease…”
“Give it here!”
General Nien picked up the baby and put it in the doctor's arms:
“See!”
The royal physician frantically took the baby, then took out a handkerchief and gently dabbed the corner of the baby's mouth. The towel immediately became stained with light yellow stains. The doctor raised his nose and sniffed, his face suddenly changed dramatically.
"That's not right! This is aloe vera powder mixed with alkaline umbrellas! Using a small amount will cause ulcers on the skin, if used too much..."
“What will happen?” The Queen's voice could not help but be tense.
“If you use it too much, it will shock you and cause you to die…”
"Damn it! Hurry up and cure me!"
General Nien threw a gold bar over, and the royal doctor immediately lowered his head and buried it in to cure it.
"You are the one who poisoned me? You look so bright, why is your heart so cruel?"
