The next morning, Lin Qingya, dressed in court dress, walked steadily into the Jinluan Palace. The sun shone on her, setting off her tall figure. All the ministers in the palace had gathered, whispering to each other. Lin Qingya looked around at everyone, her sharp eyes scanning everyone's face. She placed the file in her hand heavily on the dragon case, and her crisp voice echoed in the silent palace: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

She paused, her tone calm but with unquestionable majesty, "I have recently obtained solid evidence that Crown Prince Li Chengqian colluded with the foreign power "Xuanming" organization with the intention of rebellion!" She unfolded the file, which was densely packed with text and pictures, clearly recording the various collusion behaviors between Li Chengqian and the "Xuanming" organization, as well as the specific rebellion plan. The hall was suddenly in an uproar, and the ministers whispered and discussed. Some ministers who were originally on good terms with Li Chengqian turned pale in an instant, and their eyes evaded. Li Chengqian's face turned ashen, and his whole body trembled. He subconsciously clenched his fists, and his joints turned white.

"The evidence is solid and beyond doubt!" Lin Qingya's voice rang out again, suppressing the noise in the palace. "Li Chengqian not only secretly collected food and weapons, but even secretly dispatched troops to prepare for a mutiny!" She pointed to the map on the file and explained Li Chengqian's rebellion plan in detail, with the weapons and equipment provided by the "Xuanming" organization. Some ministers who originally had doubts about Li Chengqian also gradually believed what Lin Qingya said. Emperor Li Heng stared at Li Chengqian closely, his eyes full of anger.

Lin Qingya continued, "In order to cover up his crimes, Li Chengqian secretly eliminated dissidents and even sacrificed loyal people. If his plan is exposed, he will definitely do something desperate!" Her tone was cold and her eyes were murderous. The evidence she had in her hands revealed the contradictions between Li Chengqian's factions one by one, causing them to suspect each other and kill each other. In just a few days, Li Chengqian's power was broken by Lin Qingya one by one.

Finally, Li Heng issued an order to deprive Li Chengqian of his title as crown prince, put him under house arrest, and ordered a thorough investigation of his cronies. The court was in complete silence. Lin Qingya silently observed the expressions of the ministers around her, and she accurately grasped the direction of power.

After the purge, Lin Qingya presented a new list of court officials to Li Heng. "Your Majesty, this is a list of officials that I have redesigned based on their abilities and loyalty." Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but her eyes were firm. On this list, there were only new officials who were loyal to the emperor and had outstanding abilities. They would become the cornerstone of Li Heng's rule. After reading the list, Li Heng was pleased and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Heng's voice was full of admiration and gratitude. He looked at Lin Qingya, and his deep eyes flashed with a complex light.

Lin Qingya bowed slightly: "Everything I do is for you!" She straightened her back, her eyes firm and confident.

The next day, the atmosphere in the court was more solemn than usual. Lin Qingya was wearing a simple court dress, but she couldn't suppress the strong aura she exuded. She stood at the foot of the imperial steps, her eyes swept over the civil and military officials. Those officials who had once disdained her and even colluded with Li Chengqian, now lowered their heads and dared not look at her. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, even the air seemed to be frozen. Lao Chen, the eunuch in charge of recording, secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew that tomorrow would be a day of earth-shaking changes in the court.

Lin Qingya cleared her throat, her voice was particularly clear in the silent palace: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the remnants of the crown prince are still plotting evil, and they are led by Prime Minister Zhao's daughter, Zhao Sisi." Lin Qingya looked at Zhao Sisi sharply, and the latter's face turned pale instantly, her handkerchief clenched into a ball, she subconsciously wanted to avoid Lin Qingya's gaze, but found that she could not escape Lin Qingya's mind-reading prying. Her heart was in a panic like a drum, and fear surged like a tide.

Lin Qingya continued slowly, "The evidence is solid that Zhao and Li Chengqian's old subordinates were secretly communicating and plotting a restoration!" She handed the letters and confidential documents that she had prepared to the guards beside her, who immediately held the evidence high above their heads and presented it to Emperor Li Heng. The light shone on the evidence, and the clearly visible handwriting was particularly dazzling under the gaze of everyone. Li Heng took the evidence with a deep look in his eyes. He slowly unfolded the letter, his face gradually darkened, his brows knitted, and obvious anger flowed in Li Heng's eyes. In the imperial study, the sandalwood rose, but it could not cover up the tense atmosphere in the air.

"These evidences are enough to prove that Zhao Sisi colluded with the former crown prince and intended to rebel!" Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but she was talking loudly. "His crimes are obvious and the evidence is solid!" She added, and the unquestionable firmness in her words frightened all the officials around her. They lowered their heads and dared not look up at Lin Qingya. Zhao Sisi's tears finally burst out, and she collapsed to her knees, "I didn't... I didn't..." Her voice was trembling, but she couldn't say any words to defend herself. The palace was silent, and only the sound of Zhao Sisi sobbing could be heard.

Li Heng slammed the evidence in his hand on the dragon case: "Come here! Take Zhao Sisi to the Heavenly Prison and choose a day to interrogate and execute her! Confiscate all the property of the Zhao family!" The emperor's roar shook the entire Jinluan Palace, and all the ministers shuddered. Lin Qingya observed everyone's reactions calmly, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed across her eyes.

After that, the Zhao family was completely cleared out of the court, and Lin Qingya's power was further consolidated. Li Heng proposed to reward Lin Qingya with a higher position and add a title. However, Lin Qingya declined the emperor's award, only asking to continue to assist in handling government affairs, and quietly withdrew from the public eye. Lin Qingya declined, saying, "I dare not take credit, everything is for Zhou." She smiled slightly, but her eyes concealed unfathomable wisdom. Lin Qingya turned and left, leaving the court officials in shock and speculation.
