Chapter 8 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

No one would have thought that a future prince would be hidden in such a dirty place.

"What does Wei Tien want to do?" I frowned and asked.

"He's waiting."

A cold light flashed in Tham Uyen's eyes.

"He's waiting for an opportunity."

"An opportunity can make him control the Son of Heaven to give orders to his vassals."

"He wants to turn this child into his puppet."

"He wants to become the second Cao Cao."

I took a deep breath of cold air. The ambition is so great.

"We have to get the child out before he does."

"Not wrong."

Tham Uyen nodded:

"But the royal palace is strictly guarded, Dong Xuong has secret agents everywhere, wanting to get a living person out of Hoan Y Department, it's as difficult as going to heaven."

"My people cannot move."

"Once exposed, it will be irreversible."

I understand. He needed a person who could not tell if ghosts were sneaking into the palace. Someone who is not in his power.

"What are your plans?" I asked.

Tham Uyen looked at me and suddenly smiled:

"I don't have a plan."

"But I know, you do."

He pointed at me:

"I'm in charge of providing all the information and resources you need."

"What else to do..."

"Tu Thanh Vi, it's your turn to show off."

He actually decided a game of chess that was enough to determine life and death and directly handed it over to me to solve. This is a test for me. It's also a credit to me. I looked into his deep eyes and was silent for a moment. Then I raised my head:

"I need three things."

"First, all of my uncle's records for the last three years - the Ministry of the Household of Lang Lieu Truyen Lam, and all the documents on his political enemies."

"Second, the most detailed map of Hoan Y Bureau in the palace, including all secret passages and guard changing times."

I stopped for a moment and said a name that made Tham Uyen's expression change.

“I need all the information about the world's number one divine thief — Dao Saint Bach Ngoc Duong.”

In the study room of Tinh An Biet Vien, the candlelight flickered. Tham Uyen looked at me, the expression on her face changed from a joking look to a truly serious one for the first time.

"Bach Ngoc Duong?"

He repeated that name.

"You actually know him."

Of course we know. In his previous life, the great name of this "Dao Saint" could be said to be like thunder in the ears. His light work is unparalleled in the world, going back and forth without a trace. Legend has it that he once sneaked into the study of Dong Xuan Director Wei Tien, stole his illegal embezzlement books, causing shock to the court. In one night, he also cleaned out the gold warehouse of a salt merchant who was as rich as the national treasury, then distributed it to refugees wandering outside the city. He is a legend. Half good and half evil, the divine dragon sees a head but no tail. I want to quietly take away a new-born child from the Hoan Y Department in the royal palace. In this world, I'm afraid only he can do it.

"What are you looking for him for?" Tham Uyen asked.

"You know it very well in your heart." I calmly looked at him:

"If you want to do something no one else can do... you have to use someone no one can replace."

"Our people are both too visible and not professional."

"But Bach Ngoc Duong is different."

"For him, the high walls of the forbidden palace are just decorations."

"The royal palace in his eyes... may not be more difficult to enter than his backyard."

Tham Uyen was silent. He couldn't help but admit, 'ay I'm right:

"But this person Uncertain whereabouts, strange personality."

"If you want to find him, it's as difficult as going to heaven."

"Even if I find him, wanting him to help me is even more of a dream."

"He has never interacted with government officials, let alone is still a prince."

"Just because we can't find him, doesn't mean he can't find us."

"He has a strange personality, which means he has weaknesses."

"As long as we are human, we all have weaknesses."

"We just need to throw out a lure to make him interested, he will naturally come to us."

Tham Uyen's eyes lit up. "What bait?"

"Wei Jin." I say two words:

"Last time Bach Ngoc Duong stole Wei Tien's books, causing him to lose face, and both sides ended up feuding."

"With Wei Jin's vindictive personality, he must have been frantically pursuing Bach Ngoc Duong these past years."

"Bach Ngoc Duong also definitely wants to get rid of this trouble of suffering."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"We just need to spread the news that we have a way to overthrow Wei Jin. Tell me, is Bach Ngoc Duong interested?"

Tham Uyen looked at me, her eyes filled with admiration:

"Tu Thanh Vi, you are truly a born strategist."

"Leave this matter to me."

"Within three days, I will let the entire underground force of the capital know about this news."

"The two things you mentioned will be delivered to you tomorrow morning."

He worked decisively and quickly.

"Very good." I nodded, preparing to leave.

"Wait." Tham Uyen called me back.

He took out a small brocade box from the secret compartment in the table and gave it to me.

"What is this?"

"Open it and see."

I opened the brocade box. Inside quietly placed a blue jade brooch. The quality of the jade is the highest quality imperial green, gentle and transparent, with immense value. The top of the brooch is carved with a lifelike orchid.
