Chapter 15
Chapter 15 — The day he established me, I did not make a fuss, 17 days later, he searched the world looking for me
His entire mind... was tied to that person thousands of miles away. He doesn't know... how she is now. Can she... withstand this cold night or not? He started to get scared. An unprecedented fear, penetrating to the bone marrow. I'm afraid that after experiencing thousands of hardships (thousands of bitterness, thousands of sufferings), he will find a miracle medicine. Turning around... I only saw a cold body. No way. He suddenly opened his eyes, their eyes red as blood. Van Van, you once promised me. She said, she will be with me for many years... looking at this country. She must not go back on her word. He stood up and walked to the cave entrance. The snow outside... seems to have weakened a bit.
“Continue on your way.”
He spoke coldly. The guide's expression changed.
“Your Majesty, no!”
"The wind hasn't stopped yet, going out now... is looking for death!"
“I can't wait.”
Ta Than's voice was without a trace of emotion.
"My future queen... can't wait."
After speaking, he was the first person to step into the wind and snow. Everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow. They stayed like that, in the now waist-deep snow... walking another night. When it's morning. The wind has stopped. The snow also stopped. The sun peeked out from behind the thick clouds. Golden sunlight spread across the endless snowfield, reflecting dazzling light. So beautiful... like an unreal dream. But no one had the mind to enjoy this beautiful scene. They... have reached their limit. One night of traveling almost exhausted all my physical strength. A few more dark guards... fell forever on this snowy ground. Become the eternal landscape of Thuong Van mountain. The guide pointed forward, where an ice cliff was almost vertical, his voice trembling.
“Your Majesty… beyond that ice cliff… is the top of the snow mountain.”
“In legend, Snow Heart Grass…grows there.”
Everyone looked up. It was a wall of ice hundreds of meters high, smooth as a mirror. Steep slope, no place to hold. It is a barrier... that mortals simply cannot cross. Everyone's faces showed despair. Only Ta Than. He looked at the ice wall, in his eyes... was a crazy fire burning to the end.
“Give me the rope.”
He received the flying hook and specialized rope from the hidden guard. Be the first…to step towards the wall of death. He swung and threw the hook high into the air. The iron hook scratched the ice, making a harsh sound... but it was completely impossible to grip. His arms were so sore and numb that he barely had the strength to lift them up. The gap between the thumb and index finger was also torn, leaking streams of blood. But he... like a tireless madman, repeated that action over and over again. I don't know how many times.
“Clack” sound.
The iron hook... was firmly inserted into a gap in the ice. Everyone burst into cheers as if they had just escaped death. Ta Than did not stop for even a moment. He tightened the rope around his waist and began the most arduous and dangerous climb of his life. On the ice wall, the cold wind penetrates to the bone. Below... is an abyss ten thousand feet deep. Just a little mistake... the result is a broken body (the body is crushed, the bones are shattered). His hands were already so cold that he lost consciousness. We can only rely on instinct... little by little we climb up. Before his eyes, illusions began to appear. He saw Du Van. She wore a red cardigan, stood on the top of the mountain, smiling smiled at him, reaching out to him.
“Thank God, you are here.”
“I have been waiting for you… for a long time.”
That illusion... gave him unlimited power. He exhausted his last bit of strength and suddenly jumped up. Finally... he climbed to the top of the mountain. He saw it. Right at the edge of the cliff. A small grass stem, its entire transparent body as if carved from ice, is quietly blooming in the cold wind. On a blade of grass, is a seven-colored flower bud. Emitting a layer of pale warm light. Tuyet Tam Thao. He has found it. Huge joy... in an instant engulfed him. He staggered forward. Extremely careful, I pulled out the roots of the life-saving fairy grass and took it into my chest. He did it. Van Van... there is a magic medicine to save her. He leaned on the edge of the cliff, looked down at the magnificent mountains below his feet, and laughed loudly. Laugh until tears well up. At that moment... My foot slipped. The snow beneath his feet suddenly, without warning... collapsed. His whole body... along with that collapsed block of ice and snow... fell straight into the ten thousand feet abyss. Right at the moment Ta Than was at the top of Thuong Van mountain... life and death were on the same path. The capital city is thousands of miles away... the underground waves are already rolling, rain and wind are coming. News that the emperor, because of a concubine... voluntarily left the capital and went straight to the north. In the end... it can't be hidden. It's unclear where it spread from and spread throughout the royal court. For a moment, people were confused and discussions were abuzz. On early tide. Literature and martial arts dominated the mandarins, standing in rows on both sides. On the dragon's bed... it's empty. King Tinh Ta Uyen, who was the regent of the country, sat next to the dragon, his face as heavy as iron. He looked down at the group of servants below, some whispered in his ear, his eyes blinking. Just feel mentally exhausted. Over the past half month, he has almost never had a full night's sleep.
