Chapter 4 — Three Thousand Hairs Fall All Over The Ground, The Royal Regret Goes Crazy

Over the past month, my uncle has been testing me, intentionally or unintentionally. Forcing us to make judgments about some things. I pondered for a moment.

"Tieu Huyen did this, not just to marry Lieu Oanh Oanh."

"It's even more so that the forces in the court who are still hesitant can see his strength and determination."

"Marrying with Minister of Military Affairs Lieu family can help him more firmly hold military power in the capital."

“This is also a way to show your power to your child.” I raised my head, facing Van Lan's eyes:

“He wanted to tell me that without me, he would be better off.”

"He wants me to stay at Tinh Tam Am and regret it for the rest of my life."

A flash of appreciation flashed in Van Lan's eyes:

“The analysis is not bad.”

“So what do you think we should do?”

“Do nothing?”

"Are not." I shook my head:

“Not only do we have to do it, but we also have to give him a 'great gift'.”

The corners of my lips curled into a cold smile:

“Doesn't he want a wedding of infinite glory?”

“I want to turn that wedding into a big joke.”

“Let him and the Lieu family lose face.”

Van Lan is interested. "Oh? Tell me."

“I remember it was written in Thien Co Pavilion's records.”

“Lieu Oanh Oanh has a childhood cousin named Tran Tu Ngang.”

“The two of them had previously planned to spend their lives together.”

“After that, the Tran family fell, and Minister Lieu forcibly divided them.”

“And chased Tran Tu Ngang out of the capital.”

"Right?"

Van Lan nodded.

“Not wrong.”

“Tran Tu Ngang is currently in Giang Chau, living a life of decline.”

“There really is such a thing.”

“So what kind of person is Lieu Oanh Oanh?” we continue to ask.

"High-minded and arrogant, but extremely dignified." Van Lan quickly understood my intention.

“Do you want Tran Tu Ngang to appear at the wedding?”

"Are not." I shook my head again:

“Appearing at a wedding is too obvious.”

“It's too convenient for them.”

“What I want is to keep my mind.”

I looked at the uncle, word by word saying clearly:

“I want to be on the night before their big wedding.”

“Let the entire capital know.”

“The noble, pure Princess Regent is about to enter the door.”

"Actually, he's just a flirt, planning to spend his life with another man."

“I also want to take the poems and letters full of love that she wrote to Tran Tu Ngang and print them in tens of thousands of copies.”

"Posted all over the large and small streets of the capital."

“I want the Lieu family to become the laughingstock of the world in just one night.”

"So that Minister Liu no longer has the face to appear in court."

"I want Tieu Huyen to wear a green hat on his head."

“Let him become the object of everyone's pity.”

“For the solemn wedding that he worked so hard to prepare, turned into a humiliating farce that he was still forced to organize.”

After I finished speaking, the whole study room fell into dead silence. Van Lan looked at me. Eyes are very complicated. There was surprise, there was admiration, there was also a hint of... heartache. Maybe people didn't expect it. Previously, Tham Dao was gentle and did not even dare to speak loudly. Now you can come up with such a cruel plan. That's right, cruel. But compared to what Tieu Huyen did to me, what is it worth? He trampled ten years of my love under his feet. Stripping away my dignity, not a single piece remains. I'm just taking people's religion and giving it back to people. A long time later, Van Lan opened her mouth. Just say one word. But weighs like a thousand pounds.

“Just do as I say.”

The person looked at me with unprecedented determination in his eyes:

“A Dao, I remember.”

“Whatever you want to do, just let go and do it.”

“The sky is falling.”

“There is an uncle to support you.”

My eye sockets get a little hot. I nodded vigorously.

“Thank you, uncle.”

That same day. A secret order was issued from Van Palace. Thien Co pavilion, the giant machine has been quiet for a long time. Start moving slowly for me. A large net was aimed at the Prince Regent and the Lieu family. Quietly spreading out. But Tieu Huyen and Lieu Oanh Oanh are in the capital. Still immersed in the joy of getting married. They won't know. A “wedding gift” from hell. Screaming and rushing towards them. Ten days later. It is the big wedding day of Tieu Huyen and Lieu Oanh Oanh. We calculate time. The mind is like an ancient well. No ripples. Uncle walked into Thinh Vu Hien when. I'm playing chess myself. The black and white pieces on the chessboard are fighting fiercely.

“The preparations have been completed in the capital.”

He sat down opposite me and poured himself a cup of tea.

“Tonight at the hour of the Rat, people from Thien Co pavilion will take action.”

I pick up a white piece and put it down. The clear "click" sound rang out in the quiet courtyard, especially clearly.

“What about Tran Tu Ngang?” I asked.

“It has also been arranged satisfactorily.”

The corner of Van Lan's lips carried a cold smile.

“Tomorrow, he will appear where he should appear the most.”

"Offering to this prosperous wedding the most special ceremony."

I nodded and said no more. All my calculations, all my thoughts, have merged into this game. The black piece is Tieu Huyen. Arranged step by step, cruel and domineering. The white piece is me. At first glance, he looks gentle, but inside he hides his murderous intentions, not giving up half an inch.
