Chapter 14 — He Used To See Me As A Decoration, Now He Begs Me Not To Leave

"Okay. I agree with you."

“But I have one condition.”

He looked at me.

"After the separation, you must take on the position of the Royal Medical Institute, specializing in serving the royal family."

This is an unprecedented decision. Let a woman take charge of the Thai hospital. I know very well that this is another type of "imprisonment" he has towards me. But in the end we still agreed. Because we know, this is the best result we can get. The day the holy edict was given, the entire capital almost exploded. The first holy edict approved the separation of King Can and Princess Tan. The second holy edict specifically promoted Princess An Khang of Tan Chieu district to the position of Imperial Medical Institute. Everyone felt that the emperor was crazy. I also feel like I'm crazy. While things are still going well, the Princess doesn't want to, she wants to go to a place like the Royal Hospital and interact with a group of old men every day. It is said that Tieu Can Ngon was at Kim Loan Palace at that time and heard those two decrees with his own ears. The official present at the scene said that he immediately stiffened on the spot, his handsome face turned white without a trace of blood. After the tide subsided, he seemed to have gone crazy and rushed straight back to the Royal Palace. At that time, I was telling Xuan Hoa to pack her luggage and prepare to move out. I used my own money to buy a small house in the east of the city.

“I don't allow it!”

He rushed in, yanked the luggage bag from my hand, then threw it aggressively on the ground, his eyes so red that they were almost bleeding.

“Tin Chieu, do you have to treat me like that?”

“Do you hate me that much?”

I looked at his out of control appearance, but my heart was as calm as water.

“Tieu Can Ngon, this is not hatred.”

I said calmly.

“It's just a choice.”

“I choose the life I want.”

“The life you want?”

He burst out laughing miserably.

“Without me, what do you think your life would be like?”

"A woman abandoned by her husband's family, do you really think that after becoming a historian, those people will truly respect and obey you?"

“They just stood behind her and poked her spine!”

“So what?”

I asked the opposite.

“What do other people's eyes have to do with me?”

“Do we have to live our lives in the mouths of people?”

He was so speechless that I couldn't answer. He looked at me, his eyes filled with pain and despair.

“You stay.”

His voice was hoarse, almost pleading.

"I give you the authority to manage the Royal Palace, and all my benefits are given to you."

"From now on... from now on, I will listen to you in everything."

“As long as she stays.”

He even wanted to reach out and pull me. I took a step back, avoiding it directly.

“Tieu Can Ngon.”

I looked at him, every word was extremely clear.

“It's too late.”

"Right from the moment at Kim Loan Palace, you pointed it straight at me and said I didn't know how to be shameless..."

“Right from the wedding night, when you squeezed my chin and said I was just a decoration…”

“Even when you held a sword to point at me because of To Khinh Nhu, wanting to take my life…”

"Tin Chieu once wanted to have your love, once wanted to live a good life with you..."

“…died.”

“Killed by your own hands.”

Every word I say is like a sharp blade, fiercely stabbing straight into his heart. The blood on his face drained away little by little. That tall body staggered slightly, finally leaning helplessly against the door frame behind. Tears slowly rolled down from the eyes of the man who had never shed tears. I didn't look at him again, just turned around and led Xuan Hoa out of this place. Leaving the cage that held me captive for almost a year. The moment I stepped out of the main gate of Can Vuong palace, the sunlight was just brilliant. I turned my head to look back at the gilded sign with the three words "Can Vuong Palace" written on it. Then burst out laughing. Tieu Can Ngon, from now on… …we will not see each other again. We moved to "An Khang Tieu Truc" in the east of the city. The mansion is not large, but it is extremely elegant.
