Qingya's eyes moved between Li Rui and Li Heng. She was keenly aware of Li Heng's calmness at the moment. He seemed to be hiding something. His eyes flickered and revealed panic and emptiness.

"Brother Chengqian, you seem to be very worried about the emperor's health." Qingya chuckled with a hint of sarcasm on her face.

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his fists tightly to hide his inner panic.

"You... You are naturally worried about the emperor's body. He is your emperor, how could you be worried?" Li Chengqian said calmly, trying to hide his inner anxiety and fear.

"Really? But I can see fear and anxiety in your eyes. Brother Chengqian, what are you afraid of?" Qingya's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Li Chengqian's intestines.

Li Chengqian's face turned even paler. He immediately realized Lin Qingya's hint, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"You...how do you know..." Li Chengqian's voice trembled, completely revealing the panic in his heart.

"Brother Chengqian, what secret do you have? Just tell me." Qingya smiled slightly, her tone was calm, but with a strong aura.

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth. He knew he had no way out. He was silent for a moment, then whispered painfully, "You... You know nothing."

"Brother Chengqian, can you hide this for yourself?" Qingya's tone was calm, but her eyes became sharp. She had already seen the secret in Li Chengqian.

Qingya walked up to Li Chengqian and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Chengqian, what do you want?"

Li Chengqian's breathing became rapid, and he dared not look directly into Qingya's eyes.

Qingya continued, "You want the throne, you want the emperor, right?"

"You...how did you know that?" Li Chengqian's face was full of fear. He seemed unable to believe that Qingya knew his secret.

Qingya did not answer Li Chengqian's question. She just looked at Li Chengqian quietly, waiting for his answer.

"You...you know everything." Li Chengqian finally chose to remain silent. He dared to admit his ignorance.

Qingya sighed softly, and she looked at Li Chengqian, her eyes full of pity. She knew that Li Chengqian wanted to obtain the throne, and he also wanted to get her, but he also knew that these ideas of his were doomed to be in vain.

"Brother Chengqian, are you good enough to get the throne?" Qingya's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the glimmer of hope in Li Chengqian's heart.

Li Chengqian's eyes dimmed, and he seemed to have realized how stupid his idea was.

"Do you think you can get enough for yourself?" Qingya continued, her tone full of sarcasm.

Li Chengqian was silent. He was powerless to refute Qingya's words. He knew that all his thoughts were doomed to be in vain.

"I will sacrifice my own happiness for you again." Qingya's tone was firm and resolute.

Qingya took one last look at Li Chengqian, turned around and left, her steps firm and confident.

Li Chengqian looked at Qingya's receding back, his heart filled with despair. He knew that he had lost Qingya, and he had also lost the throne.

Li Chengqian collapsed in a chair, his eyes filled with sorrow and despair, he was deeply immersed in pain.

Li Chengqian's mind kept replaying Lin Qingya's wise face and her cold words: "Brother Chengqian, do you want to hide your secret forever?" He clenched his fists weakly, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

"Someone come!" Li Chengqian suddenly raised his head and shouted to the outside of the door.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do for you?" A guard in a black robe hurried into the room and asked respectfully.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a cold voice: "Go and find out how Lin Qingya knew about your plan."

The guard bowed his head and responded, then turned and walked out.

Li Chengqian sat alone in the room, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. The more he tried to figure out how Lin Qingya knew, the more uneasy he felt about his situation. He thought his plan was flawless, but he didn't expect that Lin Qingya would see through it.

"Could it be that she really possesses the art of reading?" Li Chengqian murmured to himself.

He dared not believe that Lin Qingya really possessed the ability to read. If this was true, then all his plans would be meaningless.

Just when Li Chengqian was feeling anxious, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Your Highness, what's up!" The guard rushed into the room in a panic, his face full of fear.

Li Chengqian stood up suddenly and asked in a loud voice, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of the Prince's residence!" the guard said stutteringly.

Li Chengqian's face turned pale immediately. He suppressed his fear and asked, "Why does Your Majesty want to thoroughly investigate the Prince's Mansion?"

"It is said...it is said that someone has revealed your highness's secret, and your majesty suspects your highness...suspects your highness's intention to rebel." The guard lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Li Chengqian's eyes.

Li Chengqian's mind was blank. He knew that everything he had done had been exposed by Lin Qingya.
