Chapter 10 — The day he established me, I did not make a fuss, 17 days later, he searched the world looking for me

In front of him were dozens of dark guards holding weapons, as if facing a great enemy. But he was not afraid.

“I want to see A Van.”

He looked at the closed gate and repeated that sentence.

“Let me see her.”

The gate, slowly opened. Ta Than wore civilian clothes but still carried the prestige of a dragon, stepping out from the light. He looked at Tham Thanh Chau with contemptuous eyes, as if looking at an ant that didn't know whether to live or die.

"Only you... are worthy of meeting her?"

Tham Thanh Chau saw him, the hatred in his eyes was like fire.

"It's you! It's you who forced her to this point!"

“Give A Van back to me!”

“What right do you have to keep her?” Ta Than smiled coldly.

“What can you give her?”

“Is this life of poverty and uncertainty?”

“Or is the body so weak that you can't even protect it?”

“I can give you peace!” Tham Thanh Chau's eyes turned red and he screamed.

“I can make you laugh!”

“Can you do it?”

“You only know how to hurt her, torment her, make her live in pain!”

“You don't love her at all, what you love is only your desire to possess!”

Every sentence of Tham Thanh Chau, hit Ta Than's sore spot. Ta Than's face darkened little by little.

"Whether I love her or not, it's not your turn to interfere yet."

“I only know, she is my woman.”

"This life, the next life, for all eternity... can only belong to me."

He took a step forward, the murderous aura around his body rising, making people shiver.

“Now, take your knife and get out of my sight.”

“If not… I don't mind, letting you and your so-called 'peace' completely disappear from this world.”

That was the bluntest and most cruel threat. Tham Thanh Chau's hand holding the knife trembled slightly. He looked at the tall man in front of him. He knew that the emperor's words... were all true. He could easily strangle himself to death, like strangling an ant. It is also possible to make Hanh Hoa village... disappear from the map. Tham Thanh Chau cannot, for his own sake, involve her any further. It's even more impossible for her to wake up... and see her body. The sword made a "ding" sound and fell to the ground. Tears welled up in Tham Thanh Chau's eyes. He headed towards the entrance of the restaurant, bowed his head deeply, deeply. He choked and called softly.

“You… must live well.”

Having finished speaking, he stood up, staggered step by step... disappearing into the vast night. Ta Than looked at his lonely back, without a trace of the pleasure of victory. Only an endless desolate void remains. He won. He chased away his rival and regained his woman. But he... lost until he had nothing left. Ta Than returned from the darkness to the room. His body carried the cold air from outside, along with a faint scent of blood. In the room, there was a strong smell of medicine. Several royal doctors and doctors were surrounding the medicine stove, carefully fanning the fire. Seeing him enter, everyone immediately knelt down. The old physician took the lead, holding a bowl of freshly brewed, dark brown medicine and offered it to him.

“Your Majesty, the medicine is ready.”

Ta Than received the bowl of medicine. Hands are hot.

“Everyone fall down.”

He waved his hand, his voice carrying undisguised fatigue.

“Obey orders.”

The doctors, doctors and servants left one after another, gently closing the door. The room was large, and there were only him and her left her. He walked over to the bed and sat down. Use the back of your hand to test the heat of the medicine bowl. After waiting for a long time, until it was no longer too hot, he carefully took a spoonful. He bowed his head, brought it to Du Van's lips, and called softly.

“Van Van, take the medicine.”

The person on the bed did not react. Still closed eyes, breathing faintly.

“Listen.”

“Drink medicine, the disease will be cured.”

He seemed to be comforting a child, his voice was gentle like never before. He gently brought the spoon to her lips. The medicine flows down the corner of the tightly closed lips. Wet the brocade blanket underneath. Ta Than was not discouraged. He tried again. The result... remains the same. She seemed to use all her strength to resist any hope of living. Ta Than's heart sank little by little. He kept feeding her spoon by spoon. A bowl of medicine... takes half an hour. But what you drink is less than one-tenth. The rest... all spilled out. His clothes, her clothes, her pillow... chaotic and messy. But he didn't care. As long as she can swallow a little bit... it's already good. The night is getting deeper and deeper. He kept guarding her side like that, all night without sleep. The next morning, the sky had just brightened. Du Van woke up. Not being woken up. It's about opening your own eyes. Her eyes were empty and absent-minded, looking up at the light-colored bed curtain above her head. No focus. There was also not a trace of emotion. Ta Than was both surprised and happy, almost jumping straight out of his chair.

“She's awake!”

He quickly picked up the still warm bowl of medicine and placed it next to him.

“Come here, take the medicine quickly.”

Du Van slowly, slowly turned her head. Her eyes finally fell on his face. But that look was so strange that... it was like looking at a completely unrelated passerby.
