Chapter 14 — I Wait For Reconciliation, But He Refuses To Let Go

He looked at me for a long time, his voice was very light.

“So what do you want?”

I opened my mouth. My heart suddenly felt so bitter that I couldn't speak. If it was before, I could say a bunch of things. Want to seal the hamlet. Want to shop. I want Kim Dao to show me his sword dance. But at this moment, I looked at his pale face, at the blood-soaked bandage on his chest, and suddenly realized that those things were no longer important. I bowed my head, my face heating up. The voice was so low that only I could hear it.

“Want you to live.”

The whole palace was quiet in the blink of an eye. Then, I felt his hand squeeze slightly. But enough to make my tears fall again. He looked at me, his eyes seemed to have a very faint light.

“Ci Van Khe.”

“This is what she said.”

I wiped my tears and replied fiercely:

“What do I say?”

“You still dare to try to break up with me!”

He smiled softly. Because of the injury, the laughter was very low, but it made my eyes turn red.

“Don't dare.”

“I've been waiting two years.”

“Don't dare to separate.”

I bowed my head, finally couldn't hold it in anymore, buried my face in his hand and cried loudly. Later we learned that the assassin that time was the party of a former prince. They originally planned to assassinate the new emperor while the court situation was unstable, but they were quickly captured. My cousin recuperated for more than a month. During that month, I watched him every day. He took medicine, I looked. He changed the bandage, I watched. He wanted to criticize the chapter, I immediately took the pen. If he dares not listen, I will go to the palace and tell the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was extremely happy after hearing this. Not only did she scold him, but she also rewarded me with a pair of jade bracelets. My cousin looked at me putting the jade bracelet in the box and said helplessly:

“She really likes to tell on criminals.”

I sat next to him and peeled a tangerine, snorting lightly.

“You just found out?”

He looked at me, his eyes much gentler than before.

"No problem."

“Just tell me later.”

“I listen.”

I bowed my head, the corners of my lips couldn't help but curl up. Some time later, Diep Thanh Thanh left the capital. Before leaving, she came to see me once. She said she wanted to see the mountains and rivers of the world, and also wanted to teach what she knew to more people. I gave her a lot of silver. After all, the hot pot restaurant and Khang Duc Co earned so much, sharing a little with her wouldn't be too painful. It's just that when she left, I still couldn't help but ask:

“Do you really not like your cousin?”

Diep Thanh Thanh looked at me for a long time, then burst out laughing.

"Your highness, you can rest assured. Only you can endure someone like His Majesty."

I feel like this doesn't sound like a compliment. But okay. I am generous. Don't compare with her. As for Kim Dao, a few months later he was also transferred to the capital. It's just that from then on, every time he entered the palace to report on official business, he bowed his head very low, absolutely not daring to look at me. My cousin always looks cold every time he sees him. I feel very unreasonable. Obviously I said I don't need Kim Dao anymore. Why is he still so petty? But think again, if he likes a certain beautiful female guard, I will definitely send someone to take her further than the Northwest. Thinking like that, I suddenly realized that my cousin was not too unreasonable. The following spring, the palace held a flower viewing party. I sat next to my brother. He held my hand under his wide sleeve. I couldn't get away several times, so I scolded in a low voice:

"You are the Emperor, pay attention to the system."

He tilted his head and looked ta.

“Is the Queen so strict?”

“It's too late to know now.”

“It's not late.”

“Life is still long.”

I looked at the begonia flowers blooming brightly outside the palace, suddenly remembering a long time ago, when I just woke up from a high fever, I thought I only needed to wait for the day of separation to be able to live happily. We didn't know then. Someone has been waiting for me for a long time. Wait for me to stop being angry. Wait for me to believe him. Wait for me to turn around and look at him once. Luckily, in the end, we still figured it out. I gently squeezed his hand. He turned to look at me. I said with a serious face:

“In the future, if you dare to make me cry, I will still go to the palace and tell the mother-in-law.”

He laughed.

“I'm afraid of her.”

I am very satisfied. It seems that being a Queen isn't so bad. At least there is no need for separation. There's also no need to be the Chief Princess. Anyway, the Queen seems to be a bit taller than the Princess. The most important thing is... From now on, this person is mine. Not for Diep Thanh Thanh. Nor to anyone else. Only mine alone.
