Chapter 10 — The Sister Who Stealed the Merit to Save People, I Smiled and Conceded Even to the Crown Prince
The news of the Emperor's death plunged the entire Eastern Palace into chaos. The wedding hall just now was still glowing red with silk flowers, but in the blink of an eye it was like being doused with a basin of cold water. No one in the palace dared to speak loudly, the court officials knelt down on the ground, the palace staff looked at each other tremblingly, and Lieu Nhu Yen still stood in a crimson robe, a veil covering her face but her hands were so cold that they could barely feel anything. Ly Hoanh Hao was helped up by a guard. He wants to stand up straight. But his legs were soft and completely unresponsive. That feeling scared him more than the news of the Emperor's death. In his previous life, he used to sit on a dragon chair, once held the power of life and death, and once thought that the whole world was in the palm of his hand. He could be reborn once, of course he thought that this life would be more favorable, he could soon marry Lieu Nhu Yen, soon clear all obstacles, and soon take possession of everything that belonged to him. But now, on the day of the big wedding, he fell down in front of everyone. He knew this wasn't normal. I also know that it all started when Lieu Lang Suong let go and let the last pill fall into that little dog's mouth. Thinking of that name, Ly Hoanh Hao almost gritted his teeth.
“Bring her to the palace.”
His voice was hoarse from trying to suppress his anger. Only then did Lieu Nhu Yen regain her composure. She quickly took off her veil, her delicately made-up face turned pale.
“Your Highness, your leg…”
Ly Hoanh Hao coldly glanced at her.
“Shut up.”
Just two words. Lieu Nhu Yen immediately trembled. She had never seen such a terrifying look in the Crown Prince's eyes. In the past, even though he was angry at others, when he looked at her, he always calmed down a bit. But right now, there was something different in his eyes. And a ray of disgust that had not yet been hidden. She suddenly felt panic. Obviously today is the day she enters the Eastern Palace with glory. Why did things turn out like that? The Eastern Palace's carriage hurriedly entered the palace. Along the way no one said anything. Ly Hoanh Hao sat in the car, his face gloomy. His legs were covered under a thick cloak, but the more he hid them, the more the insecurity in his heart increased. Lieu Nhu Yen sat opposite. She wanted to open her mouth to comfort her several times, but in the end she didn't dare. When the carriage stopped in front of the Emperor's palace, the place was completely surrounded by the army. When Ly Hoanh Hao saw this scene, his face immediately changed.
“Who ordered the blockade?”
No one answered. The guard helped him get out of the car. He tried to save face, but as soon as he set foot on the ground, his knees immediately softened. If it weren't for the two people on both sides to catch him, he would have fallen again. That feeling of shame made his face even more unsightly. He pushed the guard's hand. But the next second you have to rely on them to stand firm. Lieu Nhu Yen looked at that scene, her heart became colder and colder. Something really happened to the Crown Prince's legs. If he can't stand up, can she still be Queen? As soon as that thought appeared, she was immediately frightened by herself, but there was no way to stop it from continuing to spread. The electric door opened. A palace maid stepped out, bowed her head and said:
“The Queen orders His Highness the Crown Prince and Second Miss Lieu to enter the palace.”
Ly Hoanh Hao narrowed his eyes.
“Second Miss Lieu?”
Today I worshiped the road. Logically, Lieu Nhu Yen was the Crown Princess. But the palace maid in front of him still called She is second lady Lieu. Lieu Nhu Yen's face also stiffened. A bad premonition rose from the bottom of my heart. Two people were taken to the palace. The palace is very quiet. So quiet that you can clearly hear the faint sound of candles burning. The queen wore a black palace outfit embroidered with phoenix patterns and sat on the main chair. Her face was calm, without the sadness of someone who had just lost her husband, nor the panic of a Queen who had just faced a national funeral. But next to her. I stood there. Do not wear prison clothes. There are no shackles. There was none of the hardship of someone who had just been locked in a heavenly prison. I wore a light blue dress, my hair was tied in a simple bun, and in my hand I held a familiar white jade pendant. When Ly Hoanh Hao saw me, his pupils immediately shrank.
“Lieu Lang Suong?”
Lieu Nhu Yen also widened her eyes.
“Big sister, why are you here?”
I looked at her, smiling slightly.
"I'm not in heaven, are you disappointed?"
Lieu Nhu Yen's face became a little whiter. She instinctively looked towards Ly Hoanh Hao, but at this time Ly Hoanh Hao had no time to care about her. His eyes were resting on another person. That person stood next to me. A man wearing a blue shirt. Elegant appearance, gentle temperament, just standing there makes people feel like they are seeing Jiangnan rain and dust. It's Tham Thanh Du. He was also looking at Ly Hoanh Hao. Calm eyes. There is no hatred. There is also no provocation. But that very calmness made Ly Hoanh Hao feel strangely uncomfortable. The queen put down the tea cup. The voice was not loud but loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.
“You came at the right time.”
Ly Hoanh Hao clenched his fists.
"Mother and Queen, your father just passed away. You didn't worry about the national funeral. Instead, you released a criminal woman from prison and left a man of unknown origin standing in the palace. What exactly do you want to do?"
The queen looked at him. His eyes grew cold.
“Unknown background?”
She smiled softly.
"The person standing in front of you is called Tham Thanh Du."
"It's also the blood and blood of this palace."
The whole palace immediately fell silent. Lieu Nhu Yen almost forgot to breathe. Ly Hoanh Hao looked at the Queen. His face instantly became extremely unsightly.
“What does your mother mean by saying that?”
The Queen said every word clearly:
"This palace's meaning is that the person who was transferred from the palace in the past is the biological son of this palace."
“And you.”
"Not."
Ly Hoanh Hao roared:
“Myth!”
“I am Crown Prince Dai Chu!”
“Your only son!”
The Queen did not waver. She just gestured. A palace servant immediately presented documents, evidence, and the pre-prepared results of the autopsy.
“This palace has investigated clearly.”
“You are the son of Do Thi.”
"And Thanh Du is the biological son of this palace."
Lieu Nhu Yen staggered back a step. All the joy, ambition and phoenix she had ever dreamed of, in this moment were like a paper castle drenched by rain. If Ly Hoanh Hao is not the Queen's biological son. If he loses his legitimate identity. If only his legs were disabled. So who did she just marry? I looked at her pale face and said nothing. Because the fun has just begun. Ly Hoanh Hao looked at Thanh Du. Then looked at me again. His eyes fell on the jade pendant in my hand. That's what he saw in my room in his previous life. At that time, he just thought it was an old, unimportant thing important. Now he suddenly understood. People want to get married from beginning to end. It was never him.
