Chapter 5 — Woman Tu Xuyen Can Not Only Tell the Truth
In the royal library, the atmosphere was heavy as if a storm was about to come. Lam Tieu Thua's body was dusty and windy, but he still knelt neatly in the middle. The Emperor's face was expressionless, his eyes swept over the three of us.
"Lam Tieu Thua, what you just said in front of the palace, dare to repeat it again?"
Lam Tieu Thua bowed his head again, his voice resounding:
"Your Majesty! I am a born eunuch. This is a secret illness. It is inconvenient to reveal it to outsiders, and I am even more ashamed to dare to open my mouth."
"But I heard that the Queen and His Highness the Prince were framed by criminals, were accused of unjust crimes, and had their bloodline suspected. This matter not only concerns the honor of the Queen and the Prince, but also involves the lives of the entire Lam family. I am willing to prove myself and show my gratitude by death!"
“I am loyal to the Emperor, heaven and earth can testify, there has never been half a degree of disloyalty!”
The Emperor's eyes were like knives, staring at him fiercely, and for a long time he said coldly:
"Where are you? Transfer to the Royal Doctor! Have Lam Tieu Thua check your body!"
An order was issued, the atmosphere in the royal library became even heavier. Soon, the regent and judge of the Imperial Hospital arrived together. Lam Tieu Thua was brought into the interior of the royal library, two royal doctors followed closely behind. Time passed minute by minute, the whole room was silent. Finally, the interior door opened. Two royal physicians stepped out with serious faces, glanced at each other, and the main court stepped forward to bow deeply to the Emperor:
“Informing Your Majesty, I have carefully checked that little general Lam is indeed born with a disease and has absolutely no ability to reproduce.”
The Emperor's eyes shot like an arrow to Chu Van Nhi, her whole body trembled, her heart's voices were in chaos: 【No way! It is certain that these two Royal Physicians were bribed and falsified evidence for Lam Tieu Thua!】 The Emperor's scrutinizing eyes turned to the two Royal Physicians, not angry but powerful.
"Did you really check carefully? If there is a little mistake, you know the consequences."
"Your Majesty! Little General Lam over there looks exactly like the person who was once pure, it's clear at a glance, how dare I lie!"
I immediately seized the opportunity and looked at Chu Van Nhi with wide eyes:
"Hue Tan, that bowl of water used to drip blood to receive body recognition, what exactly is going on?"
Chu Van Nhi's face turned pale, she bit her lip, unable to utter a word. But this time, without me taking action, the Emperor coldly ordered:
“I don't want to say it, where are you, tell the best embroiderer in the palace, patch her mouth tightly, from now on you won't have to open your mouth!”
Chu Van Nhi had tears in her eyes, looked over in disbelief, but faced the Emperor's cold eyes, her whole body trembled, and finally opened her mouth:
"Don't! I said! I ordered someone to put alum in the water."
“Why do you have to do that?”
"You ancients used blood drops to identify relatives, which is not scientific. The blood of relatives with different blood types cannot mix, but if the blood types are the same, even strangers can mix."
“I don't know your blood type, so why not add alum in, causing everyone's blood to mix together, that will make others suspicious.”
“Poor woman! You almost killed me My eldest son, even made the Queen and the general suffer such humiliation, tell me, how much punishment should be enough for you?!”

The Emperor's face was full of anger, his voice was questioning. But in his eyes, what I see most clearly is disappointment. Disappointed because Chu Van Nhi was so useless - not only could he not overthrow me and the Lam family, but he also got himself into trouble, and even accidentally revealed his thoughts before.
“Where are you? Hue Concubine Chu Thi, colluding to harm the Central Palace, slandering the royal family's bloodline, separating the military and officials, evil heart, rebellious behavior! Unforgivable crime! From today on, I will be stripped of my title, reduced to a commoner, forever imprisoned in the cold palace, without an edict, never allowed to step out!”
"And if that mouth doesn't know how to say kind words, then that tongue doesn't need to be kept anymore!"
He realized that what Chu Van Nhi said was true, but he was afraid that she might reveal more secrets. So just let her shut up completely, it'll be convenient for us to take action. Chu Van Nhi's face immediately turned pale, and before being dragged out, she kept begging the Emperor to spare her life. Not long after, there was a terrible scream outside the royal library. When we walked out, Chu Van Nhi was long gone, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground, being cleaned up by palace staff. As soon as I returned to the palace, Concubine Hien welcomed me inside and out.
"Sister Minh Y, you're finally back, are you okay?"
I shook my head and let all the surrounding palace staff retreat, leaving only Phu Khu with me.
"I'm fine. Luckily, you informed me at the right time. Little General Lam arrived in time."
“I also have to ask you to think carefully in advance, otherwise not only will I be blinded and misidentify that bastard king, but my Lam family will also be in trouble.”
"My Lam family has been fighting on the battlefield forever, with a single heart and loyalty, yet he dares to plot like that, plotting against the entire Lam family!"
“Fortunately, the little prince has been born, now... his life is about to expire!”
