Chapter 23 — Kieu Hoa Was Switched By Her Fiance, I Married The Crown Prince, He Completely Collapsed

Tieu Canh's face immediately became extremely ugly. This time he miscalculated. He thought about going back and forth, but he didn't expect Tieu Hanh to be able to send Tham Sach back to the capital.

"Kill! Quickly kill them all for me!"

He screamed until his voice was hoarse. However, his screams were quickly drowned out by an even more resounding cry of death.

"Vuong Tinh is here! Destroy the party!"

Tinh Vuong Tieu Tram, dressed in velvet, holding a long sword, led the soldiers of the Imperial Guard from another direction to rush straight in. It turned out that he had been secretly taking back control of the Tuan Phong camp for a long time. The Blood Lotus Sect was attacked on both sides, and in the blink of an eye, it was scattered like a bee's hive. Tieu Canh looked at the lost world, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He suddenly grabbed the scared and stunned Emperor next to him, using a dagger to hold him close to his neck.

"Everyone stand still! Whoever dares to take another step, I will kill him!"

The killing immediately stopped. All eyes were focused on him.

"Tieu Canh! You're crazy!"

The Emperor shook his voice and shouted loudly.

“I'm not crazy!”

Tieu Canh raised his face and laughed loudly, his laughter carrying madness.

"It's you! You forced me! You clearly know I'm not your son, yet you still let me live in a lie! What do you see me as? A tool to help you maintain your country?"

The emperor was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted.

“Father!”

Tieu Hanh and Tieu Tram shouted in unison.

“Don't come here!”

Tieu Canh pulled the Emperor back step by step while screaming.

"Quickly prepare my horse! I want to get out of the city!"

“Let go of father, I will let you go.”

Tieu Hanh looked at him and spoke in a low voice.

“Do you think I still believe you?”

Tieu Canh smiled coldly.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of my way!"

No one dared to move. Seeing that he was about to pull the Emperor away from the Thai Temple. At that moment, an arrow cutting through the wind came. Fast as lightning. Accurate to the extreme. Just hearing a "thump" sound, the arrow hit Tieu Canh's wrist holding the knife. The dagger fell to the ground with the sound of impact. Tieu Canh let out a pitiful cry, clutching his wrist, looking in disbelief at the direction the arrow shot from. I held the long bow and stood on the roof of the Thai Temple, a red-robed body fluttering in the wind.

“I already told you.”

I looked at him and slowly said each word.

“You are truly delusional.”

The rebellion was quelled. Tieu Canh and Duc Phi were arrested on the spot and thrown into prison. The remnants of the Blood Lotus Sect were also swept away in one net. Out of fear, the Emperor fell seriously ill. Not long after, he passed the throne to Crown Prince Tieu Hanh. Half a month later, Tieu Hanh ascended the throne and changed his reign name to "Vinh An". And I become your Queen. On the day of the coronation ceremony, I wore a splendid and elaborate phoenix robe, stood shoulder to shoulder with him on the highest place of Thai Hoa Palace, receiving the courtship of civil and martial mandarins. Long live the cheers resounding into the clouds. I look at the person next to me. He is also looking at me. Under the sunlight, his eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as a spring lake. He took my hand, brought it close to my ear, and spoke softly.

“From now on, across thousands of miles, we will Let's look together."

I smiled, my eyes slightly stinging. I squeezed his hand and nodded slightly. That day, Luc Chieu was also escorted out of prison. He knelt under the temple, looking at Tieu Hanh leaning on the dragon with me, his expression panicked, as if he was still in a dream.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I'm guilty... I'm guilty, I'm guilty..."

He bowed his head, his voice hoarse. Tieu Hanh looked at him, his expression indifferent.

“Considering that you have never participated in a rebellion, I can spare your life.”

"If you become a commoner, you will never be allowed to set foot in the capital."

“Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.”

Luc Chieu repeatedly thanked him and then retreated. The moment he stepped out of the main hall, he turned around and looked at me deeply. In those eyes there was regret, unwillingness, and a trace of serenity that I couldn't understand. I withdrew my gaze and did not look at him anymore. Everything of the past has turned into a passing smoke. And Lieu Tich Quan. Because of her merit in exposing Tieu Canh, she was spared death. Tieu Hanh gave her a sum of money, allowing her to leave the palace and live her own life. It is said that she later opened a small embroidery shop outside the capital. The business was not too prosperous but not too bad either. For the rest of her life, she did not remarry. Spring of the third year of Vinh An. I gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. The whole country was overjoyed. Tieu Hanh hugged the two children and smiled innocently like a child. He named the Prince "Truong An" and named the Princess "Truong Lac". He said, he hoped that all of their lives would be Truong Lac and Truong An. We also hope that our Great Zhou will forever have peace in the country and people. That day, the sun was beautiful and the wind was gentle. I leaned into his arms, watching the children in the yard playing and chasing each other, only feeling that these years of peace, such a life, were enough. (END OF FULL TEXT)
