Chapter 9 — Three Thousand Hairs Fall All Over The Ground, The Royal Regret Goes Crazy
“I agree.”
“I will arrange everything.”
“Give me a new identity, so I can smoothly enter the capital.”
“Go next to Tieu Huyen.”
The person stopped for a moment, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
“My Van family's grandmother, it's time to return.”
“Take back what belongs to it.”
The capital. Where I have lived for more than ten years. It's also the place that imprisoned me for ten years. I'm back. No more sitting on a worn out carriage leading to hell. Sitting in a spacious and luxurious carriage, pulled by four handsome Tay Vuc horses. My new identity was personally prepared by Van Lan. The newly emerging royal merchant of Su Cheng, Jiangnan. To, is To in To Thanh. Dao, still the Dao of before. I won't throw away this name. Because I want Tieu Huyen to see it with his own eyes. The name he once threw away like a torn shoe. Will step by step stand at a height that he cannot reach. Little by little he will trample all the things he once took pride in. The carriage slowly entered the capital. I lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out. Familiar streets, familiar buildings. But it no longer causes any ripples in my heart. This place, to me, is just a giant tomb buried in the past. It was the devil who crawled out from that grave to take revenge. The convoy did not stop in the city. But go directly to the east of the city. There was a palace there that the Van family had long ago bought. Its scale is only slightly smaller than the Regent's Palace. On the signboard, two large words were written strongly like a flying dragon and a dancing phoenix: This is my headquarters in the capital. It was also the first fortress where we declared war on Tieu Huyen. Van Tung personally arranged everything for me. The servants in the palace are all the most loyal people of the Van family. They only received Huyen Thiet's orders and only listened to my commands. I moved into the quietest hospital in the palace. The name is Vong Xuyen. Vong Xuyen, Vong Xuyen. Forget all your money, you can get a new life. I changed into men's clothes that were covered in road dust. Wearing a white long dress made from the highest quality marble in Jiangnan. I sat in front of the dressing table, looking at myself in the mirror. My hair has grown to shoulder length. Jet black, soft. No longer the humiliating bald look of the past. My face has also recovered its previous look. Even, thanks to a month of nursing and a change in mood— There was still a bit more coldness and beauty that made people feel moved. The woman in the mirror is very beautiful. An offensive beauty. Eyes that once held only tenderness and love. Now only the cold fire of revenge remains. And the calmness of someone who has seen through the world. I hold the eyebrow pencil and slowly draw each stroke. I no longer draw the gentle willow leaf eyebrow style like before—the thing I used to draw to please Tieu Huyen. It's a slightly slanted eyebrow, carrying some heroic aura like a sword. Makes us look sharp and distant. I curled my lips slightly. The woman in the mirror also smiled a cold but beautiful smile. Tham Dao is dead. Currently alive— A mysterious royal spear from Jiangnan. A woman is about to stir up the storm in the capital. The person in charge of Thien Co pavilion in the capital quietly appeared in his study ta. He knelt on one knee and reported the latest intelligence.
“Your Majesty.”
“After Tieu Huyen and Lieu Oanh Oanh got married, Lieu Thi was placed under house arrest in the palace backyard.”
“To this day, I have never taken a single step out of the room.”
“Tieu Huyen has never come to see her.”
"The outside only said that the new king's body is not well and needs to rest."
Hearing that, I just laughed coldly. Body not healthy? I'm just afraid... mental illness is difficult to cure. Lieu Oanh Oanh, this discarded chess piece, no longer has any useful value. Currently, for Tieu Huyen. She's just a living, humiliating mark.
“What about the Liu family?” I asked.
"After that day, Minister Lieu immediately reported sick and stayed home, never to attend court again."
"His power at the Ministry of Military Affairs has been more than half eliminated by Tieu Huyen."
“Now the Liu family in the capital has completely become a laughing stock.”
"The bustling scene of guests in the past has now become deserted and desolate."
I nodded. It's all within our expectations. Tieu Huyen is an extremely conceited and extremely heartless person. The Liu family made him lose face like that. How can he continue to use them? If the rabbit dies, the hunting dog will be cooked. When the birds are gone, the bow is taken away. That was his best trick.
“What about Tieu Huyen?”
This is what we care about the most.
"From that day on, the Regent became more and more angry and impermanent, and his methods became even more cruel."
"In the court, anyone who had opinions contrary to him was dismissed or exiled in all sorts of names."
“Now the whole court lives in fear.”
“He also ordered an investigation of Thien Co pavilion.”
