Chapter 11 — General Triumph Blocks My Prayer, My Palace Has No Free Time

“Ppacifying the North is a great achievement and must be rewarded.”

"What happened in the past is a serious crime and must be punished."

“Crimes… cannot cancel each other out.”

Let's stop for a moment. Continue saying:

"This palace believes that we can restore his status as a commoner, give him hundreds of acres of good fields, thousands of taels of gold, so that he can live in peace for the rest of his life."

“But this whole life…”

“You are not allowed to step foot in the royal court anymore.”

“We will not be allowed to hold military power again.”

“From now on, you will no longer have any contact with this capital, this royal court.”

“Let you go become a rich man among the people and live out the rest of your life.”

This treatment cannot be said to be not serious. For a general with great ambition, letting him leave the court and the battlefield would be even more painful than killing him. But it cannot be said to be unmerciful. At least, he still kept his life, along with the next half of his life without worrying about food and clothing. The prince nodded slightly.

“What concubine mother said is right.”

“Just follow your mother's wishes.”

He looked towards Tieu Quyet.

“Tieu Quyet, do you have any objections?”

Tieu Quyet's body trembled slightly. He slowly raised his head, for the last time, looking deeply at Duong Nguyet. In his eyes, there were thousands of words and thousands of meanings, in the end, they all turned into three words.

“I… thank you, ma'am.”

He nodded his head. When he stood up again, in his eyes, there was only a piece of ash left. He was led down. From now on, the wanderers are far apart and will never see each other again. The second day after the grand opening banquet, the first emperor passed away. The person who passed away was very peaceful. He left this world while sleeping. I guarded your hospital bedside, holding your cold hand, tears falling like rain. This man, gave me a new life, gave me honor, gave me everything a woman can imagine. He is my husband, also my benefactor. Now, the person has gone. The whole nation is sad together. Crown Prince Trieu Hang smoothly ascended the throne and became the new emperor. I was honored as the Holy Mother Queen Mother, the regent curtain, and assistant to the new army. The weak young girl from years ago, the daughter of the Grand Deputy, finally stood at the pinnacle of power. Three years later. The new emperor was completely familiar with court affairs, acting more and more decisively, very similar to the style of his father in the past. Under his rule, Dai Chu kingdom was peaceful and peaceful, the four seas were peaceful. I also gradually let go of power, no longer let down the curtain to listen to the truth, and live a life of seclusion and simplicity. I often sit alone in the courtyard of Thua An Palace, looking at the blooming begonia trees. Just sitting like that takes an entire afternoon. Xuan Ha is by her side and has become the palace maid in charge.

“Your Majesty, the wind is blowing, let's go back to the palace.”

I shook my head.

“No need, sit a little longer.”

I looked towards the distant sky, my eyes stretching far away. Over the past few years, I have often remembered many people and many things. Remember the first emperor, remember Concubine Chu Thuc, remember Liu Uyen Nhi. Even sometimes, I will remember Tieu Quyet. I heard that he took the royal reward money, went to Jiangnan to buy a big house, married a gentle and kind wife, gave birth to several children, life passed... it was considered normal. quiet. So... that's good. Everyone, in the end, has their own place of refuge. But I, too, have kept everything I wanted to protect the most. While thinking like that, a figure dressed in bright colors quickly walked in. The new emperor Trieu Hang. He has grown into a tall young man with a straight body and a handsome temperament between his eyebrows. He walked next to me and naturally put on a cloak for me.

“The weather is already cold, why is the mother still sitting out here?”

I smiled softly.

"Hang Nhi, why are you here? Have you finished reading today's chapters?"

Trieu Hang nodded.

“It's all been handled.”

"I'm here, I want to accompany my mother and talk to her for a bit."

My mother and son are just like that, in this courtyard, talking about everyday things. From court affairs, to trivial matters in the harem. Trieu Hang said that he planned to go to Thai Son to perform the investiture ceremony after spring. I smiled and said okay, telling him to pay attention to safety. Trieu Hang said again that he planned to build a palace on the outskirts of the capital for his mother's sake, so that I could enjoy my old age in peace. I smiled and said, it's too expensive, there's no need to do that. Warm sunlight shines on us. Years of peace. Trieu Hang suddenly looked at me very seriously.

“I know, these years, mother has lived a very hard life.”

"For the sake of my son, for the sake of this Dai Chu country, my mother has had to pay too much."

“From now on, let me protect your mother.”

"I will become a good emperor, will create a prosperous world, and will make my mother the most noble and happiest woman in the world."

The teenager's oath rang out as strongly as a nail. My eye sockets are slightly wet. I reached out my hand and gently caressed my son's handsome face.

“Mother believes in you.”

I stood up and looked into the distance. The golden sunset is covering the magnificent palaces with a gentle layer of light. I have lost my youth. But we have this magnificent country. And in that country, there is a new sun... the person who loves me the most. This life...is enough. (FULL TEXT)
