In the court, the military and imperial officials stood on both sides, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like water was being squeezed out. Lin Qingya was wearing court clothes, but she was not at all restrained. She walked up the steps with firm steps, her eyes swept over everyone, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth. She cleared her throat, her voice crisp and powerful, "Today, I want to make some things public!" She paused, her eyes sharp, and looked directly at Zhao Sisi, who turned pale instantly, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes dodged.
"Ms. Zhao, as the daughter of the prime minister, colluded with foreign officials and intended to rebel. The evidence is solid!" Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but every word was as sharp as a hammer. "The letters you secretly communicated with Li Chengqian have been confiscated by this official. Here is the evidence!" She raised the file in her hand, on which Zhao Sisi's beautiful handwriting was clearly printed. The eunuch quickly presented the evidence to Emperor Li Heng for review. Li Heng frowned and looked deep. He was obviously not surprised by this result, but he also concealed his shock. In the imperial study, the incense burner on the table slowly emitted green smoke, and the air was filled with a calm and suppressed breath.
Lin Qingya looked around at everyone and continued, "That's not all. For many years, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Li Chengqian has been secretly collecting food and weapons, and even colluded with the barbarians on the border, intending to establish himself as king! I will also present these evidences!" She held up another file again, and this time, the court officials were shocked, and whispers rose and fell, deafening. Li Chengqian's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly, and his nails dug deep into his flesh. He tried to be calm, but it was difficult to hide the panic in his eyes. The magnificent decorations in the palace could not hide the suffocating tense atmosphere at this moment.
Li Heng's face was gloomy. He knew that Li Chengqian was a savage, but he had no solid evidence. The evidence presented by Lin Qingya would undoubtedly give him the best opportunity to get rid of this thorn in his side. "Li Chengqian, what else do you have to say?!" Li Heng's voice was low and cold. Li Chengqian looked at Lin Qingya in horror, with a hint of resentment and bitterness in his eyes.
"This is all a frame-up by Lin Qingya!" Li Chengqian retorted, his voice trembling. However, facing the solid evidence, his defense was pale and powerless. Li Heng waved his hand, "Take Li Chengqian down!" The guards swarmed up and took Li Chengqian away. The scene was silent, leaving only Lin Qingya's tall figure.
Lin Qingya took this opportunity to consolidate her power and gain the support of more court officials. Li Heng looked at her with a different eye. The two of them strolled in the imperial garden, the breeze blowing through the branches and leaves, and the flowers fell in profusion. "Your family is indeed talented!" Li Heng exclaimed sincerely, with a hint of admiration in his tone, "I am very pleased." Li Heng looked at Lin Qingya, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes, which was trust in her, but also hidden suspicion.
However, Li Chengqian's power has not been completely eliminated, and they are still secretly active, planning a bigger conspiracy. Li Rui, on the other hand, silently pays attention to Lin Qingya's every move, secretly helping her solve problems. Standing quietly in the dark, looking at Lin Qingya's resolute back, his eyes are gentle and firm. He knows how heavy the responsibility she shoulders is, and he will always be her strongest backing. Li Rui sighed softly.
The afternoon sun shines through the carved window panes and falls on Lin Qingya's study. She is bent over her desk reviewing memorials with a frown on her face. Suddenly, a figure appears silently at the door. It is a man in modern clothes. It is Lin Qingya's modern scientific research partner, Lao Xu. Lao Xu wears glasses and holds a delicate instrument in his hand. "Yaya, long time no see!" He greeted her easily, with a hint of easily detectable nervousness in his tone. Lin Qingya raised her head suddenly, was stunned at first, and then stood up in surprise, "Lao Xu?! Why are you here?!" Her eyes were shining with both surprise and confusion.
Old Xu smiled and put down the instrument in his hand: "It's a long story. I came here... to tell you something. There are more dangers about Li Chengqian that you don't know." He paused, "I tracked some extremely confidential communication records. The evidence points to the collusion between Li Chengqian's remnants and an external force called "Xuanming" to plan a large-scale rebellion against the court. They used smuggled advanced firearms and their forces have infiltrated the army. The situation is much more serious than you knew before." Old Xu handed over a large data storage device, "There is a backup of all the evidence in it. It's detailed enough."
Lin Qingya took the memory card and gently stroked the smooth surface with her fingers. She felt the coldness emanating from the data memory card, and at the same time, she was burning with anger. She quickly flipped through the information in the memory card, and the content was shocking. Old Xu looked at Lin Qingya's increasingly serious face and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
"These... are more serious than I expected." Lin Qingya's voice was a little low. She held the memory device tightly, her nails dug into her palm, but she seemed to feel no pain. "The Xuanming Organization... I have never heard of it." Old Xu analyzed: "According to my analysis, Xuanming is a multinational assassination organization that is proficient in information warfare and espionage. They are well-funded and have precise targets. All the evidence currently points to their cooperation with Li Chengqian."
Old Xu continued, "According to my calculations, they will launch an operation within half a month, targeting key figures in the palace and the court. Your safety is also facing a great threat." When he said this, his expression became solemn. Old Xu took another device and said, "This is my latest anti-eavesdropping equipment. It blocks some of the detection methods." He handed the device to Lin Qingya with a serious expression. Lin Qingya nodded, she took a deep breath, and her eyes were full of determination.
"I understand." Lin Qingya's voice was calm and firm. She put away the memory device and anti-eavesdropping equipment. "I will use this information to completely eliminate Li Chengqian's power and catch the Xuanming organization hiding in the dark!" After saying this, Lin Qingya stood up and looked out the window with a firm gaze, as if she was ready. Old Xu stood quietly by the side, silently watching Lin Qingya's figure.
Lin Qingya quickly summoned her advisers and guards, analyzed and deployed the evidence provided by Lao Xu, and arranged a counterattack plan. A careful plan was quickly implemented under Lin Qingya's command. She reported the incident to Li Heng in the imperial study and proposed a targeted response strategy. After hearing this, Li Heng took a deep breath, his face was livid, and he was obviously extremely angry. "Okay! I believe you!" Li Heng clenched his fists, and a trace of murderous determination flashed in his eyes.
