Chapter 9 — The Lady Who Flipped The Flag

I stood outside the prison door, looking down at him from above. "Lang Duong ascended the throne today. I came to visit you, by the way, by the way, send you off." Tieu Canh Duc's body trembled violently. "You have taken over... the country." "This is what you owe me." My voice was extremely cold. "In my previous life, because of my own desires, you used a cup of wine to poison me, and joined the court to exterminate my entire family. In this life, I just did what you wanted to do once in advance." Tieu Canh Duc did not understand anything about this life. He just thinks that I hate him to the core. He tried to open his eyes, wanting to find a trace of love on my face. "Tri Tuyet, that year when I proposed to marry you, I really loved you." "I'm just afraid that your parents are so big, I just want to be a real emperor. Have you ever, even a little bit... loved me?" I looked at this humble look of him wanting to confirm, I just found it extremely funny. A man's love is built on calculation, prevention and exploitation. When they had nothing left in their hands, they had the illusion of using emotion in exchange for pity. "Never." I threw back these two words, turned around and walked out. Tieu Canh Duc behind him let out a groan of despair. Coming out of the dungeon, the blinding sunlight covered my civilian clothes. The yellow bird on the hem of the shirt is bright and shining. On the square of the Taiji Palace, officials prostrated themselves, bowed, and chanted Long Live. I slowly walked up the tall white jade steps and received Lang Duong, still in diapers, from the nanny. She is the new queen of our Dai Tan, and I am the one who truly holds power in this world. I hugged my daughter and walked step by step towards the dragon chair symbolizing supreme power.
