Chapter 24 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

I looked at him, and for the first time, a bit of true gratitude arose in my heart.

“I understand.”

I took a deep breath to force myself to calm down.

“If that's the case, then the original plan must change.”

Bach Ngoc Duong looked at me.

“Do you have another way?”

"Of course."

A cold, determined light flashed in my eyes.

“If he wants to see a play.”

“Then we'll give him a bigger show!”

“One play is enough to shock the entire capital!”

In the capital city, night falls again. The Shangyuan Festival has finally arrived. This is the biggest festival of the year in Dai Zhou. The entire capital city turned into a sea of lights, a world of fire. On the street, people jostled, shoulder to shoulder. Children carried all kinds of lanterns and playfully chased each other. Young actors and actresses exchanged glances in the flickering light. A peaceful, prosperous and prosperous scene of singing and dancing. But underneath that bustling and bustling appearance. There is another invisible underground current rising rapidly. Imperial Palace, Thai Hoa Palace. The torchlight was as bright as day. The emperor is holding a grand banquet for his officials. Literature and martial arts officials sat on both sides according to rank. Carving cups and bowls, singing and dancing jubilantly. On Uyen as the Queen sat on the phoenix seat next to the emperor. There was a proper smile on her face, but her eyes occasionally glanced to a certain corner of the palace. Wei Tien stood in the shadows behind the emperor. Like a statue without life. But his sharp eyes like a hawk captured all the movements in the main hall into his sight. Tham Uyen sat in the top position among the princes. He raised his glass of wine, his face calm, not revealing any emotions. As for me, Tu Thanh Vi. With the status of Wei Tien's "new pet", he was given the special privilege of sitting in an unremarkable corner. I bowed my head and ate the cake in front of me little by little. Like a country girl who has never experienced anything in life, attending a big banquet for the first time. But the corner of my eye is quickly scanning each different face. On Uyen, Wei Tien, Tham Uyen... There was also someone sitting not far from me - my uncle, the Household Minister Lieu Truyen Lam. His face was a bit pale. The hand holding the cup of wine was also shaking slightly. I threw him a reassuring look. He saw my eyes, took a deep breath, and seemed calmer. The time is ripening little by little. Everyone is waiting. Wait for a signal. A signal that could reveal this grand drama. Just when the singing and dancing reached its climax. Lieu Truyen Lam suddenly stood up. He forcefully threw the wine cup to the ground! A crunching sound! The entire Thai Hoa Palace immediately fell silent. All singing and dancing stopped. All eyes turned to Lieu Truyen Lam. The emperor's eyebrows frowned slightly.

“Lieu Ai Khanh, what do you mean by that?”

Lieu Truyen Lam lifted his official robes, knelt down with a "thud" sound. He took out a scroll from his chest and held it high above his head. His sorrowful yet eloquent voice echoed throughout Thai Hoa Palace!

“Report to Your Majesty!”

"I am the Protector of the Ministry of Lang Lieu Truyen Lam, I have a song to offer!"

“God wants to play a harp!”

"Dan Hac, Crown Prince and Deputy Crown Prince of the Truong Cac Dynasty, is colluding with factions and illegally embezzling!"

"Swallow fifty thousand taels to save Jiangnan!"

“If this matter is not investigated and resolved promptly, three months from now when the Jiangnan flood season rages, there will definitely be many dead bodies. horizontal, people are miserable."

“This class of traitors is a great disaster for the nation!”

“I beg your Majesty to take control!”

His words were like thunder in a clear sky! In the blink of an eye, big waves arose in Thai Hoa Dien! Everyone was stunned! Old Truong Cac's face was bloodless. He stood up and pointed at Lieu Truyen Lam, so angry that he was shaking.

“Liu Truyen Lam! You… you slander!”

The play… has begun. But at the same time. In the royal palace, northwest corner, direction of Hoan Y Department. A figure in white, like a lynx in the night, quietly crossed the towering palace wall. In his hand he held a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing. In his eyes was cold murderous intent. He didn't come to steal things tonight. He came... to kill people. But I slowly stood up. At that moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Lieu Truyen Lam. Quietly leave the center of this storm. Our purpose is not elsewhere. It's the place no one expected — Kun Ninh Palace! On Uyen had already returned to the palace to change his clothes. Don't you want to watch a play? I personally came... to show you. Perform a play that you will never forget for the rest of your life...
