Chapter 12 — I heard that I had a loving husband and wife, and had many children and grandchildren. He crushed the white jade bowl in his hand.

When I walked out of her palace, I raised my head. At the end of that long hallway, there was a person standing there. He was wearing civilian clothes, looking like he was just passing by here by chance. However, his guard stood five steps behind, not like he was following, but on the contrary, it seemed like he had deliberately waited here before. Four eyes looked at each other. I stop walking. He was the one who opened his mouth first. My whole body trembled slightly. This calling... As soon as he opened his mouth, he called me A Hoa. I lowered my eyes.

“Father, please rest in peace.”

"It's free. There are no outsiders here."

He slowly took a few steps closer. Standing about two feet away from me, it was as if he was intentionally keeping his distance.

“Is life good?”

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Very good."

He was silent for a moment.

“Does Han Chinh treat you well?”

“Better than me?”

I raised my head to look at him. His expression was still as bland as before, but there was something in those eyes that I couldn't understand.

“Your Majesty, you have already made the best choice for the world, so why do you still need to ask these things?”

He didn't say anything. After a long while, he took a step back, turned and left. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, still facing me.

“In my dreams… everything is you.”

Having finished speaking, he strode away. The guards followed silently behind. I stood alone in the middle of the long hallway, watching his back disappear around the corner. I also want to cry. In your previous life, you could have someone repair the entire royal garden for me. In this life, you only know when you happen to pass by and throw a sentence back:

"In my dreams, it's all about you."

After that, he didn't even turn his head and left. Tieu Duc, what kind of infatuation do you think you are? On the way back from the palace, my heart was always confused and uneasy. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Uncle Chu standing in the courtyard with an awkward look on his face.

"Young lady, there's an old man here. He said he wanted to see someone. He's waiting in the lobby."

“Which old man?”

"Says he was an old friend of General Han during his lifetime, coming from the South."

We entered the lobby. An old man with white hair and white beard was sitting on a chair drinking tea. Seeing me enter, he immediately stood up and clasped his hands.

"Mrs. Han, the old lady's last name is Tham, is an old comrade of old General Han in the past."

"Mr. Shen is very polite, please sit down."

This old Mr. Tham looked very spirited, and when he spoke, he was full of enthusiasm. He got straight to the point.

"This time, the old man came here to receive General Han's deathbed message, there was an item he wanted to give to Han Chinh's father."

He took out a sandalwood box from his luggage and pushed it in front of me.

"Old General Han once said that when Han Chinh is established, he will give this thing to his wife."

We open the box. Inside is a stack of yellowed documents. The top part has the words "land contract" written on it. We flip down. The second sheet... is still a land contract. The third sheet... is still a land deed. I flipped through more than ten pages in a row, all of them were estates and shops everywhere. Mr. Tham slowly took a sip of tea.

"Old General Han has been frugal all his life. He has kept all the salaries and allowances given to him and has never spent them. In addition, the estates that the emperor bestowed upon him in the past year" Together, they accumulated and bought more than twenty seats. All are recorded in the name of Han Chinh."

I close the stack of documents.

“Does Han Chinh know about these things?”

"Don't know. That child has not been able to manage money since childhood. His father once said, giving it to him is better than giving it to his father, let him take care of the house for him."

I was both laughing and crying at the same time. Before even meeting each other, he gave the entire inheritance to his daughter-in-law. It was true that General Han and his son were exactly alike. Before leaving, Mr. Tham said one more thing.

“Mrs. Han, there is something you probably don't know yet.”

“Although old General Han's military authority that year was surrendered, out of the six garrisons in Bac Cuong today, three are former members of the Han family. Those people don't care what the court does, in their hearts they only recognize the Han family."
