The autumn sun shines through the window panes, onto the memorial on Lin Qingya's desk. She is carefully studying the secret report. The secret report records the clues of the secret activities of Li Chengze's remnants. They plan to assassinate Lin Qingya and Li Rui in the morning court in the future to disrupt the court. Lin Qingya's slender fingers gently stroke the handwriting on the memorial, and her sharp eyes flash with cold light. She put the secret report aside, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the chrysanthemums blooming in the yard, and whispered: "I didn't expect that Li Chengze's minions would be so immortal." She turned around slowly, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper: "Draw the snake out of its hole."

Lin Qingya told the maid to prepare writing materials, and she drafted a memorial herself. She wrote quickly and swiftly, writing a memorial about the water conservancy project, with exquisite content, and hinted that she would explain it in detail in the Imperial Garden in the future. The maid bowed and left, and Lin Qingya smiled lightly. The Imperial Garden was located in a remote area, and there were many pavilions and towers, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it a good place for an ambush.

She handed the written memorial to the imperial guard and told him to deliver it to Emperor Li Heng. The guard took the order and left with light steps. Lin Qingya leaned against the window. She knew that Li Chengze's followers would definitely get the news. She raised a subtle smile at the corner of her mouth. Everything was under her control.

Meanwhile, Li Rui was handling official business in his study, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously worried about the remnants of Li Chengze. He paced back and forth, occasionally stopping to pick up a memorial and read it, his expression serious. At this time, Lin Qingya came in, handed the secret report to Li Rui, and whispered, "They want to assassinate us in the morning court in the future." Li Rui took the secret report, his face changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and grabbed Lin Qingya's hand. "They are so bold!" His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with anger.

The two talked in the study for a long time, and finally decided to use the morning court to lure the enemy out. Lin Qingya was responsible for setting traps in the Imperial Garden, while Li Rui led the imperial guards to set up an ambush outside, working together inside and outside to completely eliminate the remaining forces of Li Chengze. "Be gentle." Li Rui held Lin Qingya's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Lin Qingya smiled slightly and gave Li Rui a reassuring look. They looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and trust. The candlelight in the study reflected on their faces, warm and cozy.

Lin Qingya arranged her clothes and prepared to go to the Imperial Garden. She walked steadily and her eyes were sharp. Outside the palace wall, a few crows flew by, cawing, foreshadowing the bloody storm that was about to come.

As the sun rose higher, the peonies in the imperial garden were in full bloom, and the fragrance filled the air. Lin Qingya and Li Rui hid behind a fake door. The guards around them were on guard, but they kept a low profile to avoid alerting the enemy. Lin Qingya fiddled with a few fallen petals inconspicuously, but her eyes scanned the surroundings sharply. "Brother Rui, they are coming." She said softly, her tone as calm as if she was describing a spring scene. Li Rui immediately became alert. He whispered, "Everyone, be alert!" Behind the fake door, a dozen assassins in black appeared silently, holding weapons that shone with cold light in their hands, and their movements were swift and agile.

The leader was Zhang Biao, a close confidant of Li Chengze. Zhang Biao looked around and said in a low voice: "The target is nearby, act carefully!" They dispersed and began to search for Lin Qingya and Li Rui. In the imperial garden, the birds were still chirping, but they could not cover up the hidden murderous intentions. Lin Qingya used the art of reading calmly. She seemed to hear the heartbeats of the black-clad assassins and feel the fear and greed in their hearts.

"Brother Rui, there are ten of them in total, all of them are strong in martial arts. The leader, Zhang Biao, is very cautious, and he suspects that someone is ambushing them." Lin Qingya reported to Li Rui in a low voice, while observing the enemy's route of action. Li Rui stared ahead, holding the sword tightly in his hand. "Remember our plan, don't act rashly, wait until they enter the encirclement." He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

The black-clad assassins gradually approached, and the distance between Lin Qingya and Li Rui was getting closer and closer. At the critical moment, Lin Qingya suddenly attacked, and a sharp sword flashed, cutting off the long sword of an assassin. She was agile and light as a swallow, and she dodged several fatal attacks with a few moves. Li Rui also quickly joined the battle. The two cooperated tacitly, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and knocked down several assassins to the ground in a short moment. However, the remaining assassins still pursued them relentlessly, forcing them into a dead end.

"Brother Rui, hurry up!" Lin Qingya stood in front of Li Rui, making a gorgeous turn, and used reading to detect the positions of the enemies around. "There are too many of them, you must go!" She said, deliberately showing her flaws. Zhang Biao laughed: "Want to escape? Too late!" He stabbed Lin Qingya with a knife, but was blocked by Li Rui. Li Rui was stabbed in the chest, and blood spurted out.

Lin Qingya saw Li Rui fall to the ground, and a flash of pain flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Take the secret letter and leave! I will hold them back!" She said in a loud voice, with a firm tone and a look of determination in her eyes. "Ya'er!" Li Rui called out weakly, trying to stop Lin Qingya. But Lin Qingya rushed towards the enemy without hesitation, attracting the attention of all enemies.

Lin Qingya's reading skills were exposed, and more assassins appeared and surrounded them. "Lin Qingya!" Zhang Biao gritted his teeth, "I'll let you die!"

"Come on!" Lin Qingya drew his sword and stood up.
