In the days that followed, Su Jinli remained active in the poetry club, its reputation growing in the capital, attracting even more talented women to join. Jiang Yan, in the court, also relied on his talent and wisdom to offer advice to the emperor, earning him the emperor's trust and utmost importance. The two would occasionally go out together, strolling through the streets and alleys of the capital, admiring the beauty of this bustling capital and savoring their sweet moments.

One day, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan arrived at a suburb of the capital. Surrounded by verdant mountains and clear waters, the scenery was picturesque. Su Jinli ran excitedly across the grass, while Jiang Yan chased after her with a smile. Tired of running, they sat on a rock by a stream, watching the clear water gurgle by.

"Jiang Yan, look, how beautiful it is here." Su Jinli exclaimed.

"Yes, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't compare to having you by my side." Jiang Yan said, looking at Su Jinli affectionately.

Su Jinli's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently hit Jiang Yan:

"You're the only one who can say sweet words."

Jiang Yan smiled and held Su Jinli's hand, saying:

"Jinli, when I make some achievements in the court, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask your father for marriage. I want you to marry me in a grand ceremony."

Su Jinli's eyes were full of anticipation:

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

However, what they didn't know was that in the shadows, a pair of eyes were coldly watching them. Liu had been holding a grudge since her last plan failed, and she was unwilling to let Su Jinli go. At this moment, she watched Su Jinli and Jiang Yan so sweetly, and the fire of jealousy in her heart ignited once again. A new conspiracy was quietly brewing in her mind...

As time passes, the capital remains bustling and prosperous, but beneath the surface, a strange undercurrent surges. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, absorbed in their love and their respective careers, are oblivious to the impending crisis. Meanwhile, Liu is furiously preparing her plan. She has joined forces with those who share Su Jinli's jealousy, intent on striking a fatal blow to both.

On a seemingly ordinary day, Su Jinli received an anonymous letter. The letter invited her to an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, saying that there was something important to discuss, concerning Jiang Yan's safety. After reading the letter, Su Jinli was very worried and decided to go without thinking. When Lingge learned about it, she quickly dissuaded her:

"Miss, this letter comes in strange circumstances. It might be a trap. You can't go."

Su Jinli frowned and said:

"But the letter said it concerns Jiang Yan's safety, I can't just ignore it. Even if it's a trap, I have to go and take a look."

Lingge had no choice but to accompany Su Jinli. When they arrived at the abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, they saw that the temple was in ruins, surrounded by weeds and a gloomy atmosphere. Su Jinli took a deep breath and walked into the temple. As soon as she entered, she heard a "bang" behind her and the temple door was closed.

"Who?" Su Jinli shouted vigilantly.

At this time, several figures walked out from the darkness. They were Liu and the helpers she had found. Liu looked at Su Jinli with a smug smile on her face:

"Su Jinli, you finally took the bait. Today is the day you die!"

Su Jinli was startled, but quickly calmed down:

"Liu, what do you want to do? Do you think you can harm me like this?"

Liu sneered:

"Hmph, I let you get away with it last time, but it won't be that easy this time. Just prepare to die!"

As they spoke, those people surrounded Su Jinli and Lingge...
