Chapter 11 — The Husband Wants To Marry My Maid, I Take The initiative To Make Her His Wife
Ngoc Yen looked at the crazy hatred in his eyes, so scared that she lost her voice, a stream of hot water flowed out from her lower body. She's leaking urine. Co Van Tranh let go of his hand in disgust, as if he had just touched something dirty and disgusting. He didn't look at her again, turned around and left. Three days later, on a gloomy and gloomy morning, a group of desolate carriages quietly left the capital, heading straight to the Northwest. I stood on the citadel, watching from afar as that team of carriages gradually turned into a small black dot on the official path. Xuan Hoa stood behind me, gently giving me a coat.
“Princess, the wind is blowing.”
I nodded slightly, not saying anything. Co Van Tranh, I gave you a chance. An opportunity to build a career. It's also an opportunity to find a way to die for yourself. The battlefield is the easiest place to create heroes. But it is also the easiest place to bury a brave and cunning person. And you, coincidentally, are the second type of person. I turned around and slowly walked down the castle. This big drama should come to an end. One year later. We received two secret messages sent from the Northwest. The first style is war reporting. General Co Van Tranh, Phieu Ky, was in a battle to wipe out a small enemy army. He was eager to make a success, so he led his army alone and advanced deeply, eventually encountering an enemy ambush. The entire army was destroyed. Co Van Tranh himself was hit by more than ten arrows and died extremely miserably. I looked at the few words on the secret newspaper, and there was no surprise in my heart. A man whose mind was blinded by hatred and fame, a general who was too eager to prove himself lost his ability to make clear judgments, leading to this outcome was inevitable. I conveniently put the war report aside. Then open the second secret envelope. This secret message was sent from the eyes and ears that Phung An installed in the military camp. On it is recorded the outcome of Ngoc Yen. After Co Van Tranh died, Ngoc Yen lost her last support. She still had some beauty left, and in a place full of men like a military camp, she became a fatty piece of meat that everyone wanted. I quietly finished reading the secret notice, without a trace of expression on my face. Xuan Hoa stood next to me, looked at my face, carefully and cautiously called softly:
“Princess?”
I don't answer her. I stood up, walked to the window, took both secret seals in my hand and threw them into the gilded charcoal pot in front of me. The orange-red flame immediately swallowed those two fragile pieces of paper. The page curled up in the sea of fire, gradually burned black, and finally turned into ash. Just like those people, those things in our lives, eventually completely crumble into ashes. The firelight shines on my face, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. There is no joy on my face. There's also no pain. Only a piece of stillness remained, like the surface of dead water. Everything has ended. Co Van Tranh once made me shake a little girl's mind back in the years. Ngoc Yen betrayed me and also destroyed herself. The same Co family once dreamed of challenging the royal power... All of them have now become dust under my feet. Did we win? I don't know either. I only know that the road under my feet is still very long. I turned around and went back to the library. On the table, a map Dai Ha's territory is expanding. I took the pen and gently crossed out the name "Co family" in the Northwest region. After that, my gaze slowly turned to the Southeast. There, there are still a few houses that are not very peaceful. The corners of my lips finally curled up to an extremely pale, extremely cold curve. The last ashes in the charcoal pot were completely cold. Outside the window, a new sun rose slowly rising. Our war has only just begun. (Completed story)
