Chapter 16 — After being chased away by my husband, 18 years later, I took my poinsettia back and trampled on his entire palace.

Not Lady Guardian. It's just Giang Minh Nguyet. Just Tieu Canh Hanh's wife. Tieu Canh Hanh laughed. A smile from the bottom of my heart, like melting snow and ice. He pulled me into his arms. Next to him, Hac Xuyen finally opened the complicated Lu Ban lock. He raised his head, looked at us hugging each other, the corners of his lips revealed the pure smile of a teenager. Spring next year. My wedding with Tieu Canh Hanh shocked the whole capital. I did not choose the phoenix mandarin robe, but wore the robe made by my own embroidery factory. Simple... but free. After the wedding, life is peaceful and warm. Tieu Canh Hanh takes care of outside affairs, reorganizes the army, and protects the country. I took care of the internal affairs, using the resources of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce to smooth the waterways, open schools, so that all the children of the Han family in the world could have books to read. Hac Xuyen gradually shined in the court, the new policies proposed by him made this great nation burst into new vitality. A few years later. I followed Tieu Canh Hanh to the Northern Border to patrol. Standing on the Great Wall, looking out beyond the gate at the endless desert, the north wind blew my hair. Tieu Canh Hanh put a large cloak on my shoulders from behind.

“Are you cold?”

I shook my head, leaning against his chest.

"Canh Hanh, tell me... what is life really asking for?"

Tieu Canh Hanh was silent for a moment. He pointed to the country thousands of miles behind, then pointed to my heart.

“Before, I asked for this.”

“Now, I pray… for you.”

I turned my head and gently kissed his lips. The sunset in the distance lengthens our shadows... very long, very long. Eighteen years ago, I was kicked out of Bui palace. Eighteen years later, I rule the world and have a sincere heart. Only now do we understand. The so-called true strength... It's not about how many enemies you can report, or how high a position you can stand. It's about healing the wounds of the past, finding peace in your heart... Then holding the hand of the person you love, looking at the scenery of this world together. (END OF FULL TEXT) (Thank you, Cuu Ty, for posting this article to help Chili)
