Chapter 15 — In Rebirth, I Don't Chasing Moonlight Anymore

His eyes looked at me, filled with hatred to the core.

"Tham Vi, do you still think he is innocent?"

I cannot answer. My body couldn't control itself and began to tremble. If… If Tieu Canh Hanh's words are true… Then Co Tran Hanh… The man I have loved for two lifetimes… In the end, what kind of person is he? I always thought he was just a cold person towards me, without feelings. But I didn't expect that - under that mask of indifference, there was such a deep intrigue and cruel trick hidden. The trust I placed in him all my life, in that moment... completely collapsed. It turns out, the man I loved with all my heart in these two lifetimes — was no angel at all. He is just a mortal, for fame and profit, he will not stop at nothing. Even an executioner whose hands were stained with fresh blood. It's... ridiculous. I couldn't help it... burst out laughing. While laughing, tears silently fell. What are we for anyway? Because of a man like that, you waste two lifetimes? I... am truly the stupidest person in the world. Tieu Canh Hanh looked at me - sometimes crying, sometimes laughing - his eyes gradually softened. He reached out his hand and gently pulled me into his arms.

“Stop crying.”

“It's over.”

"The bad guy... had to receive retribution."

“From now on, no one will be able to hurt you anymore.”

“I... will protect you.”

I leaned into his arms, like a boat drifting and lost, finally finding a harbor. The body is still cold... But the heart - the heart that has been adrift for two lifetimes - seems to, for the first time, feel some warmth to anchor it. Maybe... Choosing him was really right. At least, he showed us the true face of Co Tran Hanh. At least, he helped me escape that sad, unrequited love.

"Tieu Canh Hanh..." - I squeezed the hem of his shirt, my voice was hoarse, my nose choked.

“Um?”

“Thank you.”

Thank you for letting me see the truth. Thank you also... for taking revenge on my behalf. Although… the price to pay for that feud was too cruel. Tieu Canh Hanh's body seemed to stop. But very quickly, he squeezed me tighter.

“Are you stupid…”

He whispered in my ear.

“For her, I am willing to do anything.”

Seven days later. King Canh's royal palace, red lights hang high, the courtyard is filled with guests. I wore a gorgeous dress, a phoenix crown on my head, and sat quietly on the wedding bed. Outside there was a commotion of laughter. In my heart, it's as quiet as water. Not happy, not sad. It's like today getting married... is someone else's business, it has nothing to do with me. Late at night. Read full page at Moon Flower page. The guests have dispersed. Following the sound of footsteps, Tieu Canh Hanh wearing a bright red robe walked into the room. He waved his hand for the servants to leave, and personally lifted my veil. Under the red candlelight, his face was so beautiful it was almost unreal. His eyes reflected the dancing flames, also reflecting my expressionless face. He picked up two matching cups of wine and gave one to me.

“Vi Vi.”

I took it and drank it all in one gulp. Spicy yeast rushes through the throat, as if it wants to burn all the internal organs in the body. He also drank all the wine in his hand. Then pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed. His eyes looked at me, containing unprecedented gentleness.

“Vi Vi, from today onwards, you are my Princess.”

"I swear, in this life... I will definitely not disappoint you."

I looked at him, silent. After a while, I slowly opened my mouth and asked what had been bothering me for so long.

"Tieu Canh Hanh, in your last life, when did you start liking me?"

In our previous lives, there was clearly no interaction at all. Why does he love me so deeply? Even... don't hesitate to reincarnate again, still have me? Tieu Canh Hanh looked at me, his eyes suddenly became distant.

“Very early.”

"So early that... even I, can't remember clearly anymore."

"Probably that year, at the Thuong Nguyen festival, I saw her in the crowded crowd, standing on tiptoe to reach for the rabbit-shaped flower lantern."

"It could also be that spring, in the peach blossom forest, I saw her kneeling in front of the Buddha platform, sincerely praying for a tattoo of fate, just because she wanted to bless Co Tran Hanh."

"I see you happy because of him, sad because of him."

“Look at her marrying him.”

“Look at her, little by little, in that magnificent lipstick cage, fading away the light on her own.”

“I'm heartbroken... but helpless.”

“Because I am just a sick person, with no power or influence, who lives today and dies tomorrow.”

His words stunned me..Read full on page Nguyet Hoa Cac It turns out... In my previous life, he was always behind me. Use a method that I don't know about, quietly watching. My heart feels like someone gently touched it - both bitter and painful, but also with a warmth that cannot be named.

"So... when did you first know that Co Tran Hanh wanted to harm you?"

Tieu Canh Hanh's eyes darkened.

"From the first time, he used the excuse of 'visiting the sick' and brought me a bowl of poisoned tonic soup."

“You know?” I'm surprised. “I already know, why do you…”

“Why don't we expose him, right?” He finished speaking for me.

He laughed softly, full of bitterness.

“What can I use to expose him?”

“Behind him is the Crown Prince, a famous family like the Co family.”

“As for me, I have nothing.”

“If I expose it, it will be like... dying faster.”

“So, I can only pretend to know nothing, bowl by bowl, drinking the entire cup of poison he gave me.”

“Then, before I died, I used my last strength... to play this game of revenge.”

“I took the royal bloodline, brought a trace of my soul, and made a deal with Thien Dao.”

“Pray for it… for all three of us to be reborn once.”

“I pray that it… grants me an identity so that I can stand beside you clearly and righteously.”

"I also pray that he... gives Co Tran Hanh a chance to personally push her away."

I looked at him, unable to speak. Finally, I understand. Everything — from beginning to end — was arranged by him. He used his death in exchange for the reincarnation of three people. He used the rules of the Heavenly Dao, amplifying Co Tran Hanh's stubbornness, and my lovelessness. He is like a skilled chess player, holding the fate of all of us in the palm of his hand. Just to take away the girl he loved in his previous life but couldn't have.

“You…” I trembled as I looked at him. “You are so scary…”

“Really?” He smiled slightly, but a weak light flashed through his eyes that was difficult to detect.

“But Vi Vi, if I don't do that... then how can I have you?”

He bowed his head and gently placed a kiss on my lips. That kiss — gentle, tender, precious. And a sadness that penetrates to the core.

“Now, finally… you are mine Already."

He hugged me tightly. As if he wanted to melt me... into his own life. Burnt red candle. Outside the window, the third watch sounded. On the wedding night, he and I crossed Void Mountain together. In the ultimate depression, I seem to... see Co Tran Hanh. He stood in the middle of a blood red patch. Turning his head, he looked at me and smiled sadly.

"Vi Vi... I'm in so much pain..."

My heart... tightens. In the corner of his eye, a hot tear slowly rolled down. The person next to him, Tieu Canh Hanh, seemed to notice. He tightened his arms around me even more. Then whisper in my ear:

“Don't be afraid, I'm here.”

“From now on, let me... love you for him.”

I slowly opened my eyes. Facing me, were his gentle, deep eyes. I looked at him... for a long, long time. Then he raised his hand and gently touched his face.

“Tieu Canh Hanh…”

“Let's… live well.”

Leave the past behind, bury old dreams. Perhaps — this is the true meaning of this rebirth. END
