Chapter 6 — The Prince Regent's Gossip Has Escaped

“Your Majesty wants to rebel?”

My movements slowed down a bit.

“Talking about treason is too harsh, it should be called following the destiny of heaven.”

Ta Van Thu leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice.

“Tham Quy Van, today I didn't come here to kill you, but to find you to make a deal.”

I put down the tea cup.

“Please hear more clearly.”

“I want you to cooperate with me in performing a play.”

Ta Van Thu's eyes gradually became deeper.

“I want to make Tieu Hanh completely paralyzed.

“As long as you are willing to come forward and denounce the evidence that he raped the Thai hospital that year and formed a faction to seek personal gain, the Ta family will guarantee you and your father a lifetime of peace.

"After everything is successful, I will also give you enough wealth to last you a lifetime."

I looked at the ambitious woman in front of me and suddenly burst out laughing.

“What are you laughing at?”

Ta Van Thu frowned.

"I laugh at the princess who values Tieu Hanh too much and also underestimates me."

I retracted my smile, my eyes colder little by little.

“First, I have already collected all the evidence of Tieu Hanh's crime, without needing the Ta family to teach me what to do;

“Second, my peace - Tham Quy Van, I can get it myself, I don't need alms from others;

I stopped slightly and looked directly into Ta Van Thu's eyes.

“Do you really think that the Ta family can cover the sky with one hand?”

“What do you mean?”

Ta Van Thu's face darkened.

"Your Majesty is in the capital calling for wind and rain, but doesn't he know that although Tieu Hanh hasn't come to court in the past half month, the Black Armor Guard under him has already uprooted several silver farms (today's banks) of the Ta family in Jiangnan?"

I pulled out a secret envelope from my sleeve and pushed it in front of Ta Van Thu.

“Tieu Hanh is indeed crazy, but he is not stupid.”

"He knew you were secretly playing tricks behind your back. He didn't touch you just because he was waiting for an opportunity to wipe out the entire Ta family."

Ta Van Thu glanced at Phong Mi Bao, his face instantly turned pale.

“You… how did you get these things?”

"Our medical shop has people coming and going every day, what news can't we find out?"

I leaned against the back of the chair, my expression pale and calm.

“Wang Hao, you think you are plotting against Tieu Hanh, but in fact you have long since become a member of his department.”

"He deliberately pretended to be depressed to lead the Ta family to reveal their fox tail."

"Today you came to find me and just walked into his trap."

Ta Van Thu suddenly stood up, his palms were covered in cold sweat. She always thought that she was in control of the entire situation, but she did not expect that in this game of power, she would actually fall to the disadvantage.

“Why do you tell me these things?”

Ta Van Thu stared at me.

“You can completely stand by and watch Tieu Hanh and I lose each other.”

“Because compared to Tieu Hanh, I admire you more.”

I replied calmly.

"You are cruel enough, but also alert enough. Although we have different stances, we have at least one thing in common."

“We don't want to be men's dependents.”

“If the Ta family collapses, you are just a sacrifice used by Tieu Hanh to worship the flag; but if If you win, this Great Zhou court will be decided by you.”

Ta Van Thu's breathing gradually became more rapid, the light in his eyes continuously changed from light to dark.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Very simple.”

I gently tapped my fingertips on the table top.

“Next plan leads to next plan. If Tieu Hanh wants to use me to lead you into the police, then we will turn around and use the thing he cares about most to give him a fatal blow-”

Before the words were finished, outside the medical shop suddenly rang out a series of rushing horse hooves. Immediately after that, the door was directly knocked out by an extremely strong force. Tieu Hanh, dressed in armor, full of dust and murderous aura, rushed straight inside. The moment his eyes touched the dagger on the stone table, his pupils immediately shrank violently.

“Ta Van Thu!”

Tieu Hanh roared in anger, his long sword unsheathed, pointing directly at Ta Van Thu's throat.
