"Lin Qingya, how on earth did you know that?!" Li Chengqian stood up abruptly and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. The ceramic fragments scattered everywhere, but it could not hide the panic in his heart at the moment.

"Your Highness, you seem to have forgotten that I can read minds." Lin Qingya was still sitting on the chair, her tone calm but with a hint of sarcasm.

Li Chengqian's face was terribly gloomy. He suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"Your Highness, don't you already know what I'm thinking?" Lin Qingya chuckled, her eyes flashing with a cunning light.

"You want power? You want status?" Li Chengqian said gritting his teeth.

"No." Lin Qingya shook her head gently, "I just want you to know that there are some things that you can't control just because you want to."

Li Chengqian was silent. He knew Lin Qingya's ability very well, and he also knew that he had completely fallen into her control. He originally thought that he had a hold on her weakness and could use her to achieve his own goals, but he didn't expect that she would use him as his weakness.

"Do you think you can completely get rid of my control?" Li Chengqian asked viciously.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten who framed me? Who wanted to marry me to you and then use me to achieve their own goals?" Lin Qingya asked calmly.

"You!" Li Chengqian was suddenly speechless. He didn't expect that Lin Qingya would actually bring up what happened back then.

"Your Highness, do you think you can cover it up with one hand?" Lin Qingya stood up, walked to the window, looked at the setting sun in the distance, and said in a light tone, "You should know that in the struggle for power, there are never winners, only losers!"

Li Chengqian's face became paler and paler, and he finally realized that he had completely failed, and everything he did would lead to his destruction.

"I, I won't let you succeed!" Li Chengqian roared angrily. He turned around abruptly, pulled Lin Qingya in front of him, pressed her against the wall with his hands, his eyes full of madness.

Lin Qingya did not struggle, but just stared at Li Chengqian calmly with a faint smile on her lips.

"Your Highness, do you really think I'm still afraid of you?" Lin Qingya said softly, "You no longer have a chance."

Li Chengqian's hands trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt helpless. All his plans and intentions would come to nothing with Lin Qingya's words.

He let go of Lin Qingya mercilessly and took a few steps back, his eyes filled with despair.

"You win..." Li Chengqian could only say in a low voice in the end, his tone full of helplessness.

“Your Highness, you lost, not only to me, but to your greed.” Lin Qingya said lightly.

Li Chengqian sat down on the ground dejectedly. He closed his eyes silently, as if he had already seen his fate of being deposed as the crown prince.

Lin Qingya stood beside him, looking at this once invincible prince, who now looked like a bereaved family. She did not feel any joy of victory in her heart, but only deep sympathy.

She knew that Li Chengqian's failure was not only his personal failure, but also the failure of the forces behind him. The ultimate winner of this power struggle might not be her, but those who hid in the dark and controlled everything.

Lin Qingya turned around and left the Prince's Mansion. She knew that this was just a game of power, and she was just a pawn.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Qingya took a deep breath, looked at the bustling streets in front of her, and felt the surrounding atmosphere, but her heart was filled with anxiety. She knew that Li Chengqian's failure was only temporary, and the real struggle had just begun.

Li Chengqian's failure is only a small step in this game, and she will face more complex and dangerous challenges.

Qingya walked silently on the street. She knew that she had to be more cautious and stronger to protect herself and those she wanted to protect in this game of power.

She thought of Li Heng and Li Rui, and her heart began to warm up. She knew that she was not alone and that she still had someone to rely on.

"Yaer, what are you thinking about?" A familiar voice sounded.

Qingya turned around and saw Li Rui standing not far away with a concerned look on his face.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Qingya replied lightly, trying to hide her inner uneasiness.

"Ya'er, be careful, Li Chengqian won't give up easily." Li Rui's eyes were full of worry.

"I know." Qingya nodded. She knew that Li Rui really cared about her. She looked at Li Rui with gratitude, and her heart was filled with warmth.

"Let's face it together." Li Rui said firmly.

Qingya smiled slightly, her heart filled with strength. She knew that she was not alone, she still had Li Rui, Li Heng, and everyone who was willing to help her.

"We will win." Qingya said firmly. She knew that as long as they were united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Qingya and Li Rui returned to Li Heng's bedroom together and reported to him everything that happened in the Prince's Mansion.

After listening to this, Li Heng's eyes sparkled. He nodded and praised, "Well done, Yaer."

"Father, what are your plans next?" Li Rui asked.

"Li Chengqian has lost all support and can no longer pose a threat to me. However, the power behind him cannot be underestimated." Li Heng pondered for a moment and said, "We must find out their true colors and completely eliminate them to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Father, don't worry, we will definitely bring them to justice." Li Rui and Lin Qingya said in unison.

Li Heng nodded. He was very satisfied with the performance of the two children. He knew that they were the ones he trusted the most and were his strongest backing.

"Now, what we have to do is to find out their true colors and completely eradicate them." Li Heng's eyes were firm. He believed that as long as they were united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and safeguard this hard-earned peace.

Li Heng looked at them with his eyes full of expectation. He believed that they would complete the task.

Li Rui and Lin Qingya smiled at each other. They also believed that they would definitely complete this task.

"Father, we will definitely succeed!" Li Rui said firmly.

"We will definitely succeed!" Lin Qingya also said firmly.

Li Heng looked at them with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that they would succeed because they had a righteous heart and a heart that guarded peace.

They all believe that they will succeed.

Because they have faith, hope, and each other.

In the room, they looked at each other silently, their eyes full of expectations for the future.

They knew that they would shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would move forward, and they would fight for peace.

Their hearts are full of energy, hope and longing for the future.

They will win because they have each other, because they have faith, and because they have the determination to keep the peace!
