Chapter 13 — I Agree To Give Up The Marriage, But No One Knows I'm Smiling

She entered the palace three months ago. Her civil registration records say she is from the capital, but her voice has a hint of a northern accent that is difficult to detect. Normally, she rarely speaks or smiles, and almost never talks to anyone. The area she was in charge of cleaning just happened to include my Thinh Vu Hien and the most convenient shortcut to get out of the palace. I told this discovery to Tieu Dien. Tieu Dien immediately ordered someone to secretly control the woman. After a night of interrogation. Finally she confessed. Indeed, she is the internal response. It was she who spread out the room layout of the Marquis Palace and the rules of our daily activities. But she didn't know who the assassin was. She only said that the enemy always contacted her through a fixed secret mailbox. Every time we contact, the other party leaves a generous sum of money. The link here seems to have been cut off again. But Tieu Dien found a new breakthrough from her testimony. That secret mailbox is located at a grocery store in the west of the city. Tieu Dien immediately led people to surround the grocery store. As soon as the shopkeeper saw the officer, he crushed the poison pill hidden in his teeth and died on the spot. Another martyr. Things are becoming more and more difficult to resolve. The enemy acted discreetly and cruelly, leaving no one alive. Obviously this is an extremely disciplined organization. Right when Tieu Dien was at a loss and couldn't find a way. I came up with an extremely bold plan.

"They wanted to kill me."

I looked at Tieu Dien and said.

"Then we will lure the snake out of the cave."

Tieu Dien's eyebrows immediately frowned.

"No, it's too dangerous."

"I absolutely cannot let her put herself in danger again."

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger cub?"

I looked at him, my eyes extremely determined.

"As long as they are not eliminated, we will not have a day of peace."

"This time they failed, next time they will only act more discreetly, making it even more difficult for people to be on guard."

"Instead of passively waiting, it's better to proactively take action, catching everyone in one net."

My plan is very simple. Let people spread the news that after that terrifying experience I became seriously ill and could not get out of bed. As for Tieu Dien, he will use the excuse of praying for me and leave the capital to go to Tuong Quoc pagoda outside the city for three days. Thus, Ho Quoc Hau's palace will fall into a state that, in the eyes of outsiders, is the most lax defense ever. As for me, the mother who is "severely ill", will become the easiest target in their eyes. Will definitely do it again. Tieu Dien was silent. He knows my plan is the only solution. Also the best solution today. But he... couldn't bear it. He couldn't bear to let me take the risk.

"Tieu Dien."

I took his hand.

"Have you forgotten? On the northern border, who carried you out of the pile of corpses?"

"I, Van Thu Dien, have never been a beautiful flower that is only suitable to be raised in a greenhouse."

"I am the one who can fight side by side with you."

"It's your wife."

My words finally made him waver. He looked at me deeply. Finally nodded slightly.

"I agree with you."

"But you also have to promise me."

"No matter what happens, you have to get it right Your own safety comes first."

"This time, I will absolutely not let you suffer any more harm."

He mobilized all the elite guards in the palace, placing a net of heaven and earth around my Thinh Vu Hien. He even dispatched a team of experts from his Huyen Giap army, disguised as servants, to secretly ambush beside me. Everything is well prepared. Just waiting for the fish to crawl into the net. Three days later. The chariot of Ho Quoc Marquis's palace loudly left the capital and headed towards Tuong Quoc Pagoda. The news also spread in the palace that I was seriously ill and unable to get up. Mother Ly and Phuc Bo also invited the best doctors in the capital every day to diagnose and treat me. Bowl after bowl of thick black medicine was brought into my room. Then it was brought out intact again. Everything is carefully arranged, without revealing any loopholes. I lie on the bed. Quietly waiting. Wait for the enemy hiding in the dark. Fangs and claws exposed once again. Dropped down again. It's still that exact moment. It's still that familiar sweet scent. It's here again. I closed my eyes.
