A gust of cold wind blew in through the window, rolling up the memorials on Lin Qingya's desk. She put down the brush in her hand and rubbed her slightly sore eyebrows. In the imperial study, the eunuch's shrill voice echoed: "Your Majesty summons Prime Minister Lin's daughter!" Lin Qingya raised her eyes, her eyes were calm, she straightened her clothes, then stood up and walked towards the imperial study with steady steps.

In the imperial study, Li Heng was reviewing memorials. The table was piled with files and the air was filled with the scent of ink. Lin Qingya walked in front of him and leaned slightly: "Your Majesty, I am your servant." She was sensitive to Li Heng's anxiety and a hint of hidden uneasiness. This uneasiness did not come from the government, but... from Li Rui. She used mind reading to pry into Li Heng's thoughts without making a sound: "Li Rui...actually and Lin Qingya..." Li Heng's thoughts were interrupted. He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qingya, his eyes were complicated and difficult to discern. "My dear, there have been some rumors about you and Prince Rui circulating in the streets recently. What's your explanation for this?" Li Heng's voice was low and tentative.

Lin Qingya lowered her eyes, her lips slightly raised, but she had already seen through this in her heart. "Your Majesty, these rumors were all planned by Li Chengqian." Her tone was calm, her eyes were firm, "He intended to sow discord between His Royal Highness Prince Rui and me, in order to weaken His Royal Highness Prince Rui's power and further consolidate his own power." As she spoke, she took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Li Heng, "This letter was found by me from Li Chengqian's spy. The letter details their plan." The dense handwriting on the letter recorded how Li Chengqian bribed some rogues to spread rumors, and also listed some officials who were bribed.

After Li Heng read the letter carefully, he was furious. "How audacious!" He slammed the letter on the table, shaking the memorial on the table. He raised his head and looked at Lin Qingya, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration. "What a great Li Chengqian! I will not let him off lightly!"

Meanwhile, in the dark, Li Rui was watching this quietly. He saw Li Heng's furious expression, and also saw Lin Qingya's calm demeanor. He had mixed feelings in his heart, feeling happy about Lin Qingya's wisdom, but also worried about his own situation. He knew that Li Chengqian's failure would not end this power struggle, but would anger Li Heng and make him more vigilant. He gently clenched his fist.

After leaving the Imperial Study, Lin Qingya went directly to the Dali Temple. She found the Dali Temple judge who was in charge of the case, handed him the evidence, and told him to turn the tables and pin the rumors on the remnants of Zhao Sisi's forces, while hinting at Li Chengqian's role in the matter. She used Li Chengqian's conspiracy without leaving any traces, and in turn hit his power to consolidate her position as Li Rui. When she left the Dali Temple, night fell, and the lights of the palace reflected on her calm face. A confident smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

On the other side, Li Chengqian was furious when he learned that his plan had failed. He smashed the teacup in front of him, his eyes full of viciousness. "Lin Qingya! Just wait for me!" He growled with gritted teeth, secretly planning a more violent counterattack. He poured all his anger on the objects at hand, and the study was in a mess.

Lin Qingya used her victory in overthrowing Li Chengqian to further consolidate her position in the heart of Emperor Li Heng. She walked lightly into the imperial study, behind her was the magnificent palace corridor, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. She was not in a hurry to return home, but walked straight to Li Rui's palace. Along the way, the palace people saluted her one after another, whispering "Hello, Lord Lin" with awe in their tone.

After arriving at the palace, she was welcomed into the study. Li Rui was reviewing memorials at his desk, and he looked up when he heard footsteps. He put down his pen and smiled gently, "Sister Qingya is here." Li Rui stood up and personally poured tea for Lin Qingya, his movements elegant and delicate. The room was simply furnished, and the bookshelves were piled with books, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Lin Qingya took the teacup and took a sip. "Your Highness, thank you for your cooperation in Cheng Qian's matter this time." Her tone was calm, but with a hint of gratitude that was hardly noticeable.

Hearing this, a complicated expression flashed across Li Rui's face. He put down the teacup and sighed lightly, "This matter is of great importance, and I dare not neglect it. It's just..." He paused, "Sister Qingya is so strong, she may encounter more storms in the future." He looked at Lin Qingya concernedly, his eyes full of worry, and the tea rippled slightly between his fingers.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly, "Your Highness, don't worry about me. As long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Her tone was firm and confident, and her eyes revealed her control over the future.

Lin Qingya did not relax her vigilance, but secretly arranged and collected more intelligence. She used her ability to read minds to collect information about the activities of Li Chengqian's remaining forces through various channels. In the dead of night, she would sort out this intelligence at her desk in the study, with the candlelight reflecting her focused face, and the only sound in the whole study was the rustling of the pen on the paper. She would even secretly warn Li Chengqian and take the opportunity to pass on a message, suggesting that she had seen through one of his plots. She sent people to pretend to be ordinary people to spread rumors in restaurants and teahouses, deliberately pointing the finger at Zhao Sisi.

Lin Qingya gradually spread rumors about Zhao Sisi's arrogance and collusion with Li Chengqian in the court. She even learned from Zhao Sisi's personal maid that Zhao Sisi had secretly hoarded food to make huge profits, so she reported the evidence to the emperor. The officials in the court were shocked to hear the news; Zhao Sisi's usual eloquent defense in front of Li Heng seemed pale and powerless this time, and was eventually dismissed and investigated by Li Heng.

This plan was carried out quietly, but accurately and effectively. In the court, Lin Qingya presented another memorial, which clearly revealed the evidence of Zhao Sisi's guilt. Her wording was sophisticated and sophisticated, her words were sharp, and her evidence was clear, leaving the ministers speechless. She stood upright, her demeanor was steady, and her eyes were shining with wisdom.

Li Heng was delighted and praised Lin Qingya's talent. At this moment, Li Rui stood silently by, his eyes full of admiration and respect. In the end, Lin Qingya won praise, power and prestige in the court, and she smiled indifferently.
