239 Regret_1
This man is no ordinary person; he is Liu Tong, the supervisor of the Celestial Observatory.
Emperor Yue promoted him personally, believing in his upright character and impartiality. Emperor Yue trusted him a great deal, and indeed, Liu Tong proved his merit several times by predicting disasters through his astronomical observations. Thus, not only his Majesty the Emperor but many others in the court also had trust in him.
This included Wei Jin.
Liu Tong did not capture Emperor Yue's favor by chance - Wei Jin had pulled strings on his behalf.
Bai Zi didn't ask her mother to seek out Liu Tong on a whim either. She had once overheard a conversation between her father and Wei Jin in which Liu Tong was mentioned.
Utilising all available factors to her advantage was the principle Bai Zi had followed for years. As long as it served her purpose, even her own birth mother could be used as part of her calculations.
