Chapter 25
Chapter 25 — During rebirth, the Crown Prince chose the palace maid, I turned around and changed the marriage for King Tinh
In the evening... Someone came to the palace. Cong Phung personally brought the emperor's grace, and also had a speech. Ta Lam Xuyen was cleared of wrongdoing, restored his command of the northern border military service, and chose a day to return to the barracks to reorganize the army. The Bui family is no longer under the control of the Eastern Palace in spring defense arrangements, and all personal guards previously assigned to the Eastern Palace have their military status returned to the Bui family. When father finished listening to the edict, his eyes turned slightly red. He performed the thanksgiving ceremony. After standing up, he looked at me for a long time. "Chieu Ninh." I walked in front of my father. Father raised his hand, just like when I was a child, gently patting my head. "This time, our Bui family finally won't put you in the fire pit anymore." My nose stung. "Father, this time we'll walk out together." Father turned away and coughed heavily. His mother stood next to him and quietly wiped away her tears. Truong Lac arrived faster than the reward from the palace. As soon as she entered the door, she loudly said: "Tieu Thua Canh has been moved out of the Eastern Palace. What do you guys think? When he left, he was still holding onto the small palanquin at the side door, determined not to let go." I was slightly stunned. Truong Lac laughed coldly. "That small palanquin should have been thrown away a long time ago, but he didn't know what was crazy, so he decided to keep it. Today, the inner servants were inventorying the old things of the East Palace. As soon as he saw that palanquin, he immediately said he wanted to personally pick you up." Ha Suong frowned angrily. "Does he still dare?" Truong Lac said: "If you dare, you dare, but unfortunately there is no more chance. Father sent someone to escort him to the West." Uyen, along the way he kept calling Chieu Ninh's name, saying he was wrong, saying the phoenix mandarin should belong to you, the Dong Cung should also belong to you." I lowered my head to look at the jade bracelet on my wrist. That's not old stuff from Dong Cung. It's the jade bracelet that Ta Lam Xuyen personally wore for me yesterday. My heart was so calm that... There wasn't even a ripple. "Let him call." Truong Lac looked at me and suddenly sighed softly. "Do you really not want to come see him?" I smiled. "What did I come to see him for?" See if he regrets being late? See how he went from being an Imperial Prince to a deposed Crown Prince? In my previous life, I spent twenty years looking at him and it was enough. In this life... I don't want to waste even one more glance on him. But there are people... Who insist on bringing their struggles before me. Three days later, Ta Lam Xuyen and I went to the palace to give thanks. When leaving the palace, the train passes by the old Dong Palace. The sign has been taken down. The palace gate was ajar, the inner servants were moving things, the East Palace, once majestic and bustling, was now left with only chaos. Through the gap in the car curtain, we see a small palanquin next to the side door. The palanquin's curtain has faded, the red silk strip has been wet by the rain, hanging down on the muddy ground. That was the palanquin that Tieu Thua Canh once sent people to the side door of Bui Palace to pick me up. In my previous life, Dong Cung used a palanquin with eight people to carry me to the door. But then... He forced me to bow my head and live in it for the rest of my life. In this life, he prepared a small palanquin for me to go through the side door. I don't sit. So it can only lie there... Ruined. Funny. Like a dream that Tieu Thua Canh still couldn't understand to the end. Just as the coach was about to leave, a hoarse call suddenly came from the West Garden. "Chieu Ninh!" My finger slightly stopped. A corner of the car curtain was blown away by the wind. Tieu Thua Canh was stopped at a distance by two guards. He was wearing an old light-colored long robe, his hair was a bit messy, and he no longer had the noble demeanor of the former Crown Prince. Seeing my car, he desperately struggled and rushed forward. "Chieu
Ninh, I know it's wrong! I shouldn't force her to yield to the phoenix mandarin, I shouldn't force her to be a Trac concubine, I shouldn't trust Thanh Vu. You go back, Dong Cung gives it back to you, everything... I give it back to you!" The guard still held him tightly. His eyes were red, his voice was broken. "In my previous life, I was confused, I didn't see what you did for me. Chieu Ninh, now I understand. Without her, Dong Cung really cannot stand." I opened the car curtain. Tieu Thua Canh saw me, his eyes suddenly lit up, like a drowning person who finally grabbed a piece of wood to save his life. I calmly looked at him. "Tieu Thua Canh, my phoenix mandarin has given in." He was stunned. I continued to say: "Thanh Vu also got the position she wanted. And you also have the true love that you miss day and night." His face turned a little gray. "But the books of the East Palace, the debt of the East Palace, the lies of the East Palace and the fate of the East Palace... are all inherently yours to bear." Before letting down the car curtain, I told him the last sentence. "I have returned the East Palace to you." The wheel continued to roll. Tieu Thua Canh's voice was left far behind. He still did not stop. calling my name. But my name... I will never stop because of him. When I returned to Tinh Vuong Palace, the sky was clear. Ta Lam Xuyen took me to the study room. On the table was a newly drawn map of the northern border, next to the new deployment list of the Bui family. The seal of the Tinh Vuong palace and the new troop mobilization orders were all placed neatly on the table The northern border defense has been reorganized, the Bui family's army will no longer be under the command of the Dong Cung. From now on, all military orders must be jointly appraised by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Tinh Vuong Palace to be effective. "I look at that defense map. In the past life, the Bui family's military talisman was brought into the Eastern Palace time and time again, replacing Tieu Thua Canh to consolidate the position of Reservist, quell rumors and suppress courtiers. In this life... It has finally returned to the right place where it belongs. (END OF FULL TEXT)
