Chapter 23 — Female General Tu Kiss
In her heart, there was a little sobbing, a little sadness, but more of a relief. So Nguyen Tu said: "The path is one's own choice. The royal position is also something people want to fight for, not because I force people." "I only win because I understand people too well, knowing that if I don't sit on the throne, people will definitely not be willing." Yen Chanh Khuyet was stunned, then burst out laughing. He reached out and took the dagger. So Nguyen Tu didn't want to look anymore, turned around. "Nguyen Nhi." He called her name from behind. "If there is another life..." She absolutely did not want to experience another life with him again. As he stepped out of the heavenly prison, So Nguyen Tu heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. A prison guard quickly ran out: "General So... Crown Prince Pho has passed away." So Nguyen Tu nodded. The prison guard quickly ran away again, quickly turning into a small dot and disappearing. She stood in place, slowly blinking her eyes. The north wind howls. The first snow of winter suddenly fell. … Six years later, on New Year's Eve, it snowed all day. So Nguyen Tu held the child's hand and stood outside the gate of Tuc Quoc Cong Palace. "Mother!" The small child next to him raised his face and asked in a tender voice: "Where is this?" So Nguyen Tu lowered his head to look at her. Four years old, her eyebrows and eyes look like Ta Dung Du, delicate and beautiful. So Nguyen Tu thought with satisfaction, but these eyes were like hers, dark and bright, hiding a bit of disobedience. "It's my grandfather's house." So Nguyen Tu said. The little girl nodded in understanding. Footsteps were heard from behind. Ta Dung Du walked over with an umbrella, covering both So Nguyen Tu and the child under the umbrella. "Why don't you cover yourself with an umbrella or go inside?" He asked. The child immediately replied: "Father! Mother is scared, waiting for someone to back her up!" So Nguyen Tu rubbed the child's head vigorously. He knew what to do and immediately quieted down like a chicken. The moment he crossed the threshold, Mrs. So came out to welcome him. The gray hair at her temples cannot be hidden, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are deep, and her back is no longer as straight as before. Seeing So Nguyen Tu, her eyes immediately turned red. "Nguyen Tu... This is the first time I have returned home to celebrate the new year..." So Nguyen Tu nodded: "Madam." She was stunned. That call was polite but distant, as if there was a thin layer of invisible silk between the two of them. Niu Niu jumped up next to So Nguyen Tu: "Grandmother! This is the first time we meet, people keep calling me Niu Niu. Father and mother both call me that!" Mrs. So looked at her, couldn't help but laugh, but also couldn't help but shed tears. After celebrating New Year's Eve, So Nguyen Tu's family of three returned to their room. Niu Niu lay face down on her legs, already fast asleep. The little face was red, not knowing what beautiful dream she was dreaming about. Ta Dung Du helped her untie her hair and said in a low voice: "Obviously I still can't let it down, so I'm trying to go back. Isn't that making it difficult for yourself?" So Nguyen Tu lightly snorted: "Nuu Niu wanted to see the snow, so I took her from the west of the city to the east of the city. Isn't it great?" Ta Dung Du said "oh", didn't say more, just hugged her. Outside the window, snow is still falling. The room was extremely warm, the charcoal pot occasionally emitted a few sparks. So Nguyen Tu leaned on Ta Dung Du's arms, drowsy and sleepy, his words became vague. "I just want to let go of a few things. No matter what, from now on, everything will be as expected." "I will hold your and Niu Niu's hands. We walk slowly, steadily." So Nguyen Tu knew he had heard, because he hugged her tighter.— Full text -
