Chapter 4 — Trinh Cuu An, Hau Empress is also a Female Emperor

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

The ladies thought I was disrespectful to the royal family, so they asked the Queen to punish me by kneeling at the palace gate. I admit all my mistakes. Go to the palace gate and kneel for an hour. When I left Tieu Phong Palace, my knee was already swollen and red. Indeed. As soon as I stepped into the Imperial Palace, the Emperor immediately appeared. But the person just stood in the doorway, as if hesitating. I proactively stepped out. The emperor initially pretended that nothing had happened. Then he told me about the reluctance of an emperor and how his mother was harmed. But it doesn't say that the person who did it was my father.

“My dear, would you like to start over with me?”

I looked up at the tall sycamore tree in the air. In the past, on the day of their marriage, Hoa Diem intentionally sent someone from Phuong Nguyen town three hundred miles away to bring sycamore trees to plant at the Thai lieutenant's palace.

"Someone once said, 'Ngo' is a husband, 'Dong' is a wife, corn and fields are entangled, life and death depend on each other."

From then on, I fell in love with that tree.

“Your Majesty, I don't dare. Your highness is your main wife.”

The person paused for a moment, his eyes filled with self-blame. Then he stepped forward, hugged me tightly, and lifted me up. Gently put me on the bed, personally took off my shoes and socks, and carefully examined the wound. The doctor came and was comforting me, asking if I was in pain. My eyes are filled with tears, my knees don't hurt, but my heart hurts a lot.

"Your Majesty, you just need to kneel for a while, rest a little and you'll be fine."

At this time, he felt reassured and rewarded the doctor handsomely. That night, he stayed at Trieu Duong Palace. When four eyes met, the person couldn't hold back. Her bare chest is close to me, tight without any gaps. I close my eyes, try to empty my mind, try to endure. When the person finally stopped, I pretended to accidentally ask about Ly Ba An's beheading. People don't understand why I care about a dying person, and a little suspicion arises in my heart.

“Your Majesty, I just... feel that I am no longer pure, so I want to share with you some common things, to ease the guilt in my heart.”

Perhaps remembering the night at Bo De Pagoda, Hoa Diem immediately agreed. He said he would protect me from now on, and his whole life would be good to me. I nodded, leaned against his chest, and said I would live well with him for the rest of my life. Just like a childhood promise. When you were asleep, I ordered the dowry maid - Ho Lo - to bring a bowl of birth control pills. I didn't hesitate and drank it all.

Half a month later. Finally, we can wait until the day Ly Ba An is executed. The execution site gathered many people to complain on his behalf. Before the executioner lowered his sword, I walked up to him.

“Lord Ly, if you are willing to use it for me, I will save you, how about it?”

He spat a mouthful of saliva at me, scolding me for being unfilial and unjust, and absolutely refusing to submit. I feel happy again. After all, talented, who doesn't have temperament? It will also not be easy to submit to others. If you don't accept me as your boss, that's fine. So what if the people of the world were the masters? I can't wait to see the results. We must save him. So when the executioner raised his blade, I used my slender body to stand in front.

“No one is allowed to kill him.”

I saw the surprise in Ly Ba An's eyes, and the hopeful eyes of the people below the stage. Officer The executioner sent someone to pull me out, telling me not to obstruct official duties.

"Sir, I just heard that Lord Ly was beheaded just because he didn't have enough money to atone for his crimes, is that right?"

Everyone thought I intended to use my money to redeem your life. Are not. If we did, we would have to make a bigger deal than that. In the expectant eyes of the people, I slowly stood up and criticized how unfair it was to exchange money for one's life. But Ly Ba An spoke for the people, his actions came from the people's heart, so why is he guilty?

"Lord Ly couldn't hand over thirty thousand taels of silver to redeem his life, which further proves that he is an honest and upright person who has never embezzled or accepted bribes. Why do you have to kill such a noble official?"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out like thunder. I also see a different light in Ly Ba An's eyes than before. Right at that moment, in his heart, he must have stopped considering me a dirty, unfilial, unjust woman, a fox who seduced the emperor as rumored.
