Chapter 2 — Woman Tu Xuyen Can Not Only Tell the Truth
I snorted coldly, my eyes looking straight at Tu ma ma.
"Tu mom, just now Chu agreed, I personally saw you put musk in your breakfast, why did you have to do that?!"
Mo ma looked at me with an incredulous face, then glanced at Chu Van Nhi who was as pale as paper, and replied suspiciously:
“Niang, it's clear that you told this old slave to put the medicine in Princess Hien's breakfast, and also told you that you absolutely must not let Hien Phi give birth to a prince. This medicine has been put in by this old slave for many years, why are you now..."
“You talk nonsense!”
I coldly shouted, interrupting her.
"Chu agreed to admit that it was she who ordered you to quit smoking, and you still dared to fabricate and harm this palace!"
"Chu agreed, tell me! Why does she dare to slander this palace like that!"
Chu Van Nhi had completely realized the problem, biting her lips tightly without saying a word, with only resistance and panic left in her eyes.

But I keep wanting her to open her mouth.
"Chu agreed, this palace is asking you! Quickly answer!"
Chu Van Nhi bit her lip until it bled, her body trembled slightly, but still refused to speak.
"So? Are you disrespecting this palace? If so, there's no need to keep this tongue anymore!"
“Fu Khu!”
“There is refuge.”
Phu Khu, standing next to me, immediately stepped forward, holding a dagger in his hand, decisively squeezing open Chu Van Nhi's mouth, the cold blade close to the tip of his tongue. Chu Van Nhi's eyes were filled with fear, her whole body trembled violently, and she quickly shook her head:
"No! I said! I said!"
“That's because I once told her that in the past, to help her raise her children in peace, Lady To intentionally killed her biological daughter.”
“What is the truth?”
"Her daughter was sold to Thanh Lau by her husband that year, and she soon died there."
As soon as Chu Van Nhi finished speaking, humiliation and resentment flashed in her eyes, her heart immediately rang out: 【That's not true! It was clear that their husband and wife had a deep relationship and loved their children. Her husband was killed by the To family in order to protect their daughter. My mouth must have been controlled by the Queen so I couldn't help but say these words!】 Mother Tu immediately showed despair, violently threw away the two eunuchs holding her, and shouted loudly:
"My lady, this old slave has done so many dirty things for you. I will die without resentment. I only ask you not to make things difficult for Chu anymore. I promise, I accept all my sins!"
After saying that, she immediately rushed her head and tried to hit the pillar in the palace.
“Stop her!”
Phu Khu reacted extremely quickly, kicking Tu Ma Ma away, two eunuchs quickly stepped forward and held her tightly. I sat down again, my eyes turned to Chu Van Nhi again.
"Chu replied, I ask you, what are Tu ma ma's daughter's eight characters?"
Chu Van Nhi immediately blurted out:
“Year of Tan Ty, month of Binh Tuat, day of Ky Suu, hour of Nham Ngo.”
The word ma ma's eyes widened:
“How do you know!”
"My daughter was born during a heavy rain, her birth time was wrongly recorded, no one but me knows the real birth time, but you said it right! How is this possible!"
I was not surprised and continued to ask Chu Van Nhi:
“So what are the eight characters of Hien Phi?”
Chu Van Nhi's lips couldn't be controlled, so she opened her mouth and replied:
“Year of Mau Dan, month of Canh Than, day of Ky Suu, hour of Ky Ty.”
“What about Dung Phi?”
“The year of Nham Ngo, the month of Mau Than, the day of Ky Suu, the hour of Giap Ty.”
“Ky Tiep Du.”
“The year of the Goat, the month of the Rooster, the day of the Ox, the hour of the Tiger.”
“Ninh Chieu Nghi.”
“……”
The more Chu Van Nhi spoke, the quieter the palace became, and the concubines' faces became more and more serious. It wasn't until she correctly recited the eight characters of all the concubines in the palace that the atmosphere seemed to freeze. A woman's eight characters are a private matter, rarely revealed to outsiders, and even intentionally distorted a little to hide it, making it not easy for others to know. However, Chu Van Nhi read out all the true eight characters of all the concubines in the palace, this thing is more terrifying the more you think about it. In that dead silence, I curled my lips slightly in satisfaction.
"Miss Chu, this palace asks you again, how did Mother Tu's daughter and husband die, and why did you deceive Mother Tu?"
Chu Van Nhi's face turned pale, she wanted to use her old trick again, biting her lower lip, fresh blood flowing down the corner of her mouth. Phu Khu quickly grabbed her chin, forcing her to only tell the truth.
“Her husband was dissatisfied because she only gave birth to a daughter, so he sold his daughter, then took the money and ran away. I intentionally did that because I wanted Concubine Hien to turn her back on her.”
At this time, Mother Tu also knelt down on the ground and bowed her head strongly before me:
"Your highness, I am an old slave who trusted a traitor and betrayed you. Please reprimand me."
"Everyone has heard it, Chu Thi's heart is unjust, plotting to harm Hien Phi, framing this palace, from today on, she will be banished to the cold palace!"
"Mother Tu is an accomplice, from today she is locked up in the Kidney Penalty Department!"
Chu Van Nhi and Tu ma ma were both escorted down. I waved my hand and dismissed all the concubines in the palace who had come to pay their respects, then called Phu Khu and instructed:
"Chu Van Nhi is not dead, this palace will hardly be at peace, you should think of a way to handle it, you have to be very quiet and quiet."
Phu Khu immediately received orders to leave. However, a few days later, what I was waiting for was not the news that Chu Van Nhi died in the cold palace, but the news that the Emperor took her out of there, and even made her a Hue concubine. He was promoted five times in a row, and his favor was glorious, unprecedented. In just a blink of an eye, the front and back palaces were all abuzz with discussion.
