Chapter 126



Lin Qingya sat alone by the window, staring at the bustling streets outside the window, but her thoughts drifted far away. She could feel an undercurrent surging, which came from Li Chengqian, from the greed and wildness hidden under the gentle mask. She could read Li Chengqian's voice and what he was plotting at the moment.

"What do you want?" Lin Qingya murmured to herself. She could understand Li Chengqian's thoughts, but she couldn't understand his motives. Why was he so obsessed with the throne? Why was he so cruel to others? She couldn't understand, nor could she accept it.

"Qingya, what are you thinking about?" Li Rui's voice came from behind, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and handed it to Lin Qingya.

Lin Qingya took the teacup, took a sip, then looked up at Li Rui with a trace of worry on her face: "Nothing, just thinking about something."

Li Rui did not ask further questions, knowing that Lin Qingya was worried about Li Chengqian. He sighed softly and said, "There is always a way to solve the problem, don't worry too much."

Lin Qingya nodded, but she was still uneasy. She knew Li Chengqian's conspiracy, and she also knew that he was getting closer to his goal step by step. She had to stop him, to protect herself, and to protect the one she loved.

"Ya'er, you seem to be very troubled. What's bothering you?" Li Heng walked into the study with a kind smile. He did not ask Li Rui, but looked directly at Lin Qingya.

Lin Qingya quickly stood up and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I am just thinking about something and I am not worried about anything."

Li Heng walked up to Lin Qingya and gently stroked her hair, with a hint of fondness in his eyes: "Ya'er, if you have anything to say, just tell me, the emperor can help you."

Lin Qingya hesitated for a moment, but finally told Li Heng about Li Chengqian's conspiracy. She told him everything she was thinking, and described in detail Li Chengqian's conspiracy and his plan to use Zhao Sisi against herself.

After listening to this, Li Heng's face became solemn. He sighed softly and said, "Cheng Qian is getting more and more outrageous."

"Your Majesty, you should be careful of Li Chengqian." Lin Qingya said firmly, "I will never let this go."

Li Heng nodded. He knew all about Li Chengqian's crimes, but he had no solid evidence and could not bring him to justice.

"Just relax, I'll be careful." Li Heng said with a smile, "You also have to be careful and don't trust anyone easily."

Lin Qingya nodded gratefully. She knew that Li Heng had realized the danger of Li Chengqian, but she also knew that Li Heng did not want to openly turn against Li Chengqian.

"Ya'er, let go. The emperor will not let you suffer any injustice." Li Heng patted Lin Qingya's shoulder and said with a firm look in his eyes, "No one should think of hurting you."

Lin Qingya was silent for a moment. She knew that although Li Heng seemed to be defending her, he was actually still weighing the pros and cons. Li Heng knew all about Li Chengqian's intentions, but he had always taken a wait-and-see attitude. She sighed softly and said softly, "Your Majesty, we can't sit and wait any longer. Li Chengqian has already started to act, and we must act now."

Li Heng was silent for a while, his eyes flashing with hesitation and complexity. He thought he could strangle Li Chengqian in a cradle, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to act so boldly. He rubbed his eyebrows lightly and said, "Ya'er, I already know your idea, but what should we do? Li Chengqian has already won over many court officials, and Zhao Sisi is helping him."

"Your Majesty, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We can unite with other forces to fight against Li Chengqian together." Lin Qingya said with a firm look in her eyes, "Now that Li Chengqian has exposed his true colors, those court officials who are dissatisfied with him will definitely be willing to stand on our side. Moreover, we can also use those powerful families, and they will be willing to join us for their own interests."

When Li Heng heard Lin Qingya's suggestion, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said, "You are right, we can give it a try. Li Rui, what do you think?"

Li Rui had been quietly listening to their conversation. He had long been wary of Li Chengqian. He knew that once Li Chengqian gained power, they would all become threats. He nodded and said, "I agree with Yaer's suggestion. We can try to unite with her forces to jointly resist Li Chengqian."

"Okay, let's act together." Li Heng said in a firm tone, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you first visit those courtiers who are dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, explain Li Chengqian's intentions to them, and win their support." Lin Qingya suggested.

"That's a good idea." Li Heng agreed. "Li Rui, give me the list of court officials. We will visit them tomorrow."

Li Rui nodded and turned to prepare the list. Lin Qingya looked at Li Heng with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to defeat Li Chengqian and protect this hard-earned peace.

"Ya'er, don't worry, we will definitely protect you." Li Heng patted Lin Qingya's shoulder gently, his eyes full of determination.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly, her heart full of hope. She knew that the battle with Li Chengqian had just begun, but she also believed that they would be able to win.

"Ya'er, don't worry, I will definitely help you." Li Rui said with a firm look in his eyes, his tone full of confidence.

Lin Qingya nodded and looked at Li Rui with gratitude. She knew that Li Rui really wanted to help her and was willing to take the risk for her.

The three of them were silent for a moment, each of them had different thoughts. This power struggle has just begun, everyone is working for their own interests, and the final winner of this struggle, only God knows.

Lin Qingya walked out of the study and looked at the starry sky, her heart filled with complex emotions. She knew that the future was full of unknowns and challenges, but she also believed that as long as she persisted in her beliefs, she would eventually usher in light.
