Chapter 7 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

My words were like a drill, fiercely piercing straight into my father's heart. He closed his eyes in pain.

"So… then why do we have to go to the capital?"

"The capital city is a dragon's den, if we go there, won't we be getting ourselves into a net?"

I shook my head.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"Now the people of Dong Xuong will definitely think that we have escaped far away, and will send people everywhere to chase us."

"They absolutely did not expect us to go against common sense and go straight to the capital."

"Furthermore, only in the capital, at the feet of heaven, under the protection of the Seventh Prince, do we have a glimmer of vitality."

I looked at my mother and spoke slowly.

"Mom, don't you always miss your uncle?"

"This time we go to the capital, so we can visit him."

Lieu Thi heard the words "uncle", in her empty eyes a ray of light finally appeared. Her mother's house, in the capital. Her brother, Lieu Truyen Lam, is the Imperial Household Minister of the current dynasty. Although they are only distant relatives, their relationship has long since faded. But for her right now, it was like a drowning person reaching for the only straw.

"Can we… can we really go see your uncle?" she asked in a trembling voice.

"Of course."

I nodded affirmatively.

"We must not only meet him, but also make him willing to volunteer to be our support."

This is the most important link in our plan. Seventh Prince Tham Uyen is the powerful shield that protects us. And Lieu Truyen Lam's Household Department is a source of power that we must definitely pull to our side. In my previous life, this uncle of mine, because of being falsely accused of embezzlement, ended up being dismissed by his family. But the one who harmed him was the Crown Prince's faction. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. In this life, I don't just have to save you. But also make him become a sharp blade in my hand. Hearing my words, father and mother's faces finally recovered some of their blood. Fear about the future, replaced by a fragile ray of hope. I know, my goal has been achieved. At sunset, the carriage arrived at the eastern outskirts of the capital. A large manor appeared before our eyes. The large gate is painted black, the walls are high, and in front of the door are two giant stone lions, with an extraordinary aura. Above the main gate hangs a sign with a black background and gold letters.

"Tinh An Biet Vien".

Chu Dung stepped up and gave Tham Uyen's command card. The guard in front of the gate only took one look and immediately respectfully opened the door. The carriage entered the mansion. The scene inside makes those of us who have never seen real life widen our eyes and open our mouths. Pavilions and pavilions, small bridges with flowing water, strange flowers and herbs, everything is there. Dozens of maids and servants, under the guidance of the butler, were already waiting in the yard.

"Welcome Master Tu, Mrs. Tu, Miss Tu."

Everyone knelt down at the same time, the prestige was amazing. My father and mother had never seen such a scene and were so scared that their hands and feet were confused. And I'm very calm. I know, this is Tham Uyen showing us his strength. It's also telling me - following him, all of this, is just the beginning. A butler who looked to be in his forties, with a refined look, stepped forward step.

"Eldest lady, the master has given instructions."

"The accommodation and living arrangements of the young lady and the old lady have all been properly arranged."

"The master is waiting for the lady in the study."

I nodded and said to my parents:

"Dad, mom, you two go rest first, I'll be back in a while."

Having finished speaking, I followed the butler through the intricate hallways and arrived at an elegant study room. Tham Uyen is standing in front of the window, hands clasped behind her back. He wore a long white robe, was as elegant as jade, and had a noble aura like someone on earth. The terrifying murderous intent of the night before had been hidden by him without a trace, and his royal aura was also revealed behind his leisurely appearance. If I hadn't seen him transform into Asura in the middle of the battlefield that night, I'm afraid no one would have believed that this elegant young man in front of us... was the one who just swung his hand and caused the Dong Xuong crowd to fall to death. That goatee guy didn't recognize him... which was natural. He didn't turn around.

"How does it feel?"

I calmly replied: "Those things are not important. What I want to know more... is the whereabouts of On Uyen and the child in her womb." At this moment, Tham Uyen turned around, her voice lowered: "I just received a secret report. On Uyen has given birth. The baby boy was born prematurely, not yet full term." He gave me a piece of paper.

"Wei Jin hid them here."

I received a piece of paper, only three words were written on it.

"Hoan Y Department."

Hoan Y Department? The lowest place in the royal palace, the residence of lowly slaves? I immediately understood. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
