Chapter 15 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

Because everything... is happening exactly like the trajectory of the previous life. Wen Uyen was secretly favored by the Emperor for many years. Now that she has given birth to a prince, the Emperor naturally wants her to come into the light, using her position as Queen to protect her in a dignified and righteous manner. What's more, a time ago, when she was still in the dark, he couldn't protect them and their mother. That time, according to Wei Tien, he only had time to save On Uyen, but the baby was taken away by someone else in the midst of the chaos. In this royal palace, where the outside is plated with gold and jade but inside is a place that devours human lives, each person has their own calculations in their hearts. But the truth is... It is Wei Tien who is behind it all. He had someone capture On Uyen before she gave birth, secretly took away the newly born prince, and then staged a "rescue" to bring her back to the palace. From beginning to end, even On Uyen did not know. The child she risked her life to give birth to... is finally alive or dead. And now... in whose hands that child is falling, she is completely unaware. In her memory, there is only one truth - it was Wei Tien who saved her from the assassins, and Dong Xuong is devoting all his efforts to finding the prince's whereabouts. Little did she know that... The person who had just played the role of the benefactor who saved her life was also the one who personally stole her child from the beginning... Tham Uyen had not yet calmed down, when the housekeeper outside knocked urgently on the door.

“Master, eldest lady, someone is coming to the palace.”

"Speaking of which, the Queen has sent word to summon Miss Tu to enter the palace immediately."

How did she know I had entered the capital? What trick is she planning to play? My heart suddenly sank. A huge variable… appeared. Tham Uyen's face also immediately became gloomy. He looked at me, his eyes not hiding murderous intent.

“Can't go.”

"This king will go and tell that eunuch - there is no Miss Tu here. If he still dares to act recklessly... this king absolutely does not mind letting him die on the spot."

I raised my hand to stop him. Our minds are moving at lightning speed. This action of On Uyen certainly did not have good intentions. She is declaring war on me. It's also... testing me.

“It seems that Wei Jin has tracked down my whereabouts in the capital city…”

I slightly curled my lips, leaving only the coldness in my eyes of someone who had seen through the whole situation.

“He wants to borrow On Uyen's hand.”

“A Queen who believes she owes him the favor of saving her life... and is still counting on him to find her lost child.”

"In that situation, she can only trust him... and only dare to listen to him."

I stopped for a moment, my voice lowered, cold to the bone.

“But his real purpose… was not to help her.”

"I wanted to borrow her hand... to destroy everyone who knew the secret of On Uyen's background... and the child born that year."

“Once the story of her being humiliated by the Crown Prince of An Quoc Cong Palace is exposed to light…”

“Not only will her position as Queen immediately collapse…”

"And even the newborn child that he treats as a hostage... will no longer be worth using."

“When that secret is revealed, that child will no longer be a noble bloodline for him to hold court... but will only be a child with a scandalous status, even can be destroyed at any time to silence people."

"That was the biggest card he kept in his hand... the one he believed would become Emperor in the future, for him to manipulate, for him to arrange, for him to shape however he wanted."

“But once that child's identity is no longer clean…”

“Then that piece… is just a discarded piece.”

If I don't dare to go, it means there is a devil in my heart. If we don't go, all our plans will fall apart in an instant. So we must go this trip. Don't just have to go. But we still have to go for the light and righteousness. Go for good name and right speech. I want to let you know that Tu Thanh Vi has returned. Not to return and let her trample me. But to return to take her life! I took a deep breath and looked at Tham Uyen.

“Your Highness, help me prepare a little.”

“I want to put on makeup.”

"I have to use my best posture to meet the 'benefactor' of my previous life."

“I want you to see it with your own eyes.”

“How the devil who crawled out of hell like me will eventually drag you back to hell, step by step.”

The next morning at Tinh An Biet Vien, Thuy Nhi lit the first lamp. In front of the bronze mirror, I quietly sat up straight. Thuy Nhi and two skillful maids are helping me with my makeup. A set of jade palace attire is worn on the body, layer by layer, precious flowers without losing its flexibility. On the hem of the dress, gold and silver threads were embroidered into phoenix wings, sparkling under the candlelight. This is what Tham Uyen sent people to the Thuong Medical Department in the palace to bring back all night. As a relic of a previous princess, my rank is high enough for me to appear anywhere in the palace without losing my identity. Her black hair like a waterfall was tied into a sophisticated Phi Tien Ke style.
