Chapter 9 — The Regent asked the price of my sincerity

When she saw the ground stained with blood, and the people of the Trieu family being beaten to death, and Trieu Uyen Nhu sitting limply on the ground, Trieu Thai Phi completely went crazy.

“Tham Jin Trieu!”

“You evil woman!”

“You will not die properly!”

She screamed shrilly. Suddenly, he pulled out a pair of sharp scissors from his sleeve. Like a crazy lioness, rushing straight towards me.

“I will destroy your fox face!”

“I will kill you!”

The incident happened too suddenly. No one had time to react. Looking at the blade of the scissors, the cold light stabbed straight into my eyes. Instinctively, I closed my eyes tightly. The imagined pain did not appear. The sound of the blade stabbing into flesh rang right in my ears. I immediately opened my eyes. Tieu Lam Uyen blocked them. He used his bare hand to grip the blade of the scissors. Fresh blood dripped from between my fingers onto the blue stone floor. Blindingly red.

“Yuen Nhi!”

Trieu Thai Phi was so scared that her face turned white, her hand trembled and she dropped the scissors.

“Why do you protect that bitch?”

Tieu Lam Uyen did not look at the wound on her hand. He just quietly looked at his biological mother in front of him. His eyes were cold as ice. The last bit of affection left in the bottom of his eyes also completely disappeared.

“Mother.”

His voice was terrifyingly calm.

“This will be the last time I call you that.”

He pulled the scissors from his palm. Handily throw it to the ground.

“From today.”

“Between me and you…”

“The grace of birth has been paid off.”

Trieu Thai Phi staggered back two steps.

“Uyen Nhi…”

“What...what do you mean by that?”

Tieu Lam Uyen slowly took a thick stack of documents from the guard's hand. He threw it straight down in front of Trieu Thai Phi.

“For many years.”

“The person in the name of the Regent Royal Palace.”

“Colluding with the Trieu family, embezzling military provisions, selling officials and selling titles, seizing land, persecuting people.”

“These evidences.”

“It's all because I sent someone to investigate.”

“His Majesty has also seen it.”

“Every item.”

“Not a single thing is missed.”

Trieu Thai Phi's face immediately turned pale. She frantically shook her head.

“It's not…”

“I am your mother!”

“I do everything for you!”

Tieu Lam Uyen burst out laughing. The laughter was cold and mournful.

“So you turned the Regent Palace into the Trieu family's money bag?”

“So you tolerate the Trieu family draining the blood of soldiers on the battlefield?”

“So you colluded with the Trieu family to repeatedly harm my Princess?”

Every single sentence. All made Trieu Thai Phi take another step back. Until she fell to the ground with a thud. There's no way back. Tieu Lam Uyen turned around. His eyes swept over all the shocked guards and subordinates. He ordered in a cold voice.

“The king's command.”

"Trieu Thai Phi took advantage of her status as Thai Phi, repeatedly interfered in court politics, and colluded with the Trieu family to do illegal things."

“From today.”

“Revocation of all administrative rights in the Royal Palace.”

“Taken to Thanh Tam Am in Tay Son.”

“There is no order from this king.”

"For the rest of your life, you can't take even half a step."

Trieu Thai Phi seemed to be struck by lightning. She crawled forward and hugged Tieu Lam Uyen's leg tightly.

“Yuen Nhi!”

“You can't treat me like that!”

“I am your mother!”

“You will be punished by heaven!”

Tieu Lam Uyen without hesitation kicked her away. A few strong witches immediately stepped forward. Stuff the towel into Trieu's mouth Thai Phi. Then forcibly dragged her out of the yard. After finishing dealing with Trieu Thai Phi. Tieu Lam Uyen's eyes slowly landed on Trieu Uyen Nhu's body. Trieu Uyen Nhu was scared to death. Just keep banging your head.

“Please spare your life…”

“My sister-in-law spared my life…”

I walked next to Tieu Lam Uyen. Looking at her coldly.

“Trieu Uyen Nhu repeatedly colluded with the Trieu family, plotting to harm the mother-in-law, and also colluding with outsiders to break into the royal palace treasury.”

“The crime is intolerable.”

I turned to look at Butler Ly.

“Butler Ly.”

“Bring her to the official tomorrow.”

"Change the entire stem of the contract into a semi-permanent contract."

“Sold to the lowest place.”

“Forever and ever.”

“Obey!”

Butler Ly replied loudly. Trieu Uyen Nhu let out a scream of despair. Eyes rolled back. Fainted on the spot. A riotous scene. Finally closed amid the smell of blood and cold air. I looked at Tieu Lam Uyen's still bleeding hand, and my heart suddenly tightened. I immediately grabbed his hand. Tearing a strip of clean cloth from his sleeve, he frantically bandaged the wound.

“Are you stupid?”

“Dare to use your bare hands to block the scissors blade.”

“Do you think you're made of iron?”

The mouth scolds. But his voice trembled slightly. Tieu Lam Uyen looked at my frantic appearance. The corners of the lips suddenly curled up. He turned around and grabbed my hand.
