"I will let Concubine De confess her crimes in person, and then put the blame on Li Chengqian. He will be furious, and Li Heng will certainly not sit idly by." Lin Qingya's words were firm, her eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of sneer at the corners of her mouth.

Li Chengqian frowned, as if he was attracted by Lin Qingya's plan, but he was also vaguely uneasy. He asked with a little caution: "How can you be sure that Concubine De will tell the truth? She is not someone who easily admits her mistakes."

"I'll make her admit it." Lin Qingya smiled slightly. She walked to the window, gently opened the curtains, and looked at the palace in the distance.

"In the court, in front of all the civil and military officials, I will use my mind-reading skills to make Concubine De confess her crime of assassinating Li Rui." Lin Qingya's voice was soft, but full of power.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "What are you going to do? Use mind reading in public? This is too dangerous! If someone finds out, you will..."

"I'm already preparing. I will let Concubine De tell the truth unknowingly, and then put the blame on Li Chengqian. Li Heng will definitely punish Li Chengqian severely in order to protect his imperial power." Lin Qingya's voice was cold. She seemed to have seen Concubine De's panicked expression after her crimes were exposed, and saw Li Heng's anger at Li Chengqian.

"You... aren't you afraid that Li Heng will suspect you?" Li Chengqian frowned, still worried that Lin Qingya's plan would fail.

"Of course I'm not afraid." Lin Qingya had a confident smile on her face. She turned around, looked directly into Li Chengqian's eyes, and said, "I know better than anyone what Li Heng hates most."

"You...what are you doing?" Li Chengqian was shocked by Lin Qingya's eyes. He was silent for a long time and finally couldn't help asking.

"I will make Concubine De a thorn in Li Heng's side, and make Li Chengqian a thorn in Li Heng's side." Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but with unquestionable determination.

"I will let you understand what a real power struggle is." Lin Qingya smiled slightly, her eyes full of confidence. She believed that she could succeed enough. She believed that she could use her mind reading skills to completely defeat Concubine De, clear the obstacles for Li Rui, and pave the way for Li Rui to gain greater power.

Lin Qingya turned and left, leaving Li Chengqian alone in the room. Looking at Lin Qingya's back, his heart was full of complicated emotions. He couldn't understand Lin Qingya's plan, but he believed in Lin Qingya and believed that she would be successful enough. He was looking forward to Lin Qingya's plan working, the moment when Defei's crimes were exposed, and the moment when Li Chengqian was punished by Li Heng.

"Sister Qingya, you..." Li Chengqian wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Lin Qingya, "For some things, you just need to do your own thing and stop interfering with my plans." Lin Qingya's eyes were firm and her tone was unquestionable.

Li Chengqian watched Lin Qingya leave resolutely, with a glimmer of hope and unwillingness in his eyes. He could not understand Lin Qingya's plan, nor her desire for power, but he knew that once Lin Qingya's plan succeeded, he would be the biggest help.

Lin Qingya returned to her room, pondered for a moment, then called her personal maid and told her, "Go tell Uncle Wang that I promised to save Li Rui, and ask him to tell her where Li Rui is being held."

The maid took the order and left, while Lin Qingya began to think about how to implement her plan perfectly. She had to ensure that Li Heng would not turn his suspicious eyes to herself if Concubine De was exposed.

The next day, in the court, Lin Qingya used her mind reading skills to guide Concubine De to tell the truth according to her plan, and then put the blame on Li Chengqian. Although Concubine De was angry, she could do nothing but watch Li Chengqian being reprimanded by Li Heng.

"How ridiculous! How dare you be so bold as to attempt to harm my younger brother!" Li Heng was burning with rage, his face was ashen, his eyes were like torches, and he stared straight at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian knelt on the ground and tried to explain himself, but was ruthlessly rejected by Li Heng, "Do you think I will believe your excuses? Come, take Tai to the prison, and make a decision after finding out the truth."

Li Chengqian was taken away by the guards, while Defei was kept by Li Heng. She knelt on the ground, trembling with fear as she waited for Li Heng's trial.

Lin Qingya stood aside, observing the situation calmly. She knew that the evidence of Concubine De's guilt had been exposed, and Li Heng would definitely deal with her severely. Her plan was already half successful.

"De Fei, do you have anything else to say?" Li Heng's voice was low and threatening.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Defei cried out, tears streaming down her face. "I have never hurt Li Rui. This is all Li Chengqian's slander!"

Lin Qingya's lips curled up slightly. She knew that no matter how much Defei tried to argue, it would be useless. Li Heng had already determined her guilt, and her ending was bound to be tragic.

"Come here, take Concubine De to the cold palace and never let her stand up again!" Li Heng's voice was cold and ruthless, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Defei was dragged away by the guards, but Li Heng's anger did not subside. He turned his gaze to Lin Qingya and asked, "Qingya, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Lin Qingya bowed gently and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and I have no way of knowing the truth. However, I think that Li Chengqian and Defei should be detained, and a decision can be made after the truth is found out."

Li Heng nodded, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes, "Qingya, you are indeed a smart person."

Lin Qingya smiled secretly in her heart. She remained calm on the surface, but in fact she was secretly planning her next plan in her heart. She knew that Li Heng was suspicious and would not easily trust anyone. She had to be careful to protect herself.

"Qingya, please stay. I have something else to talk to you about." Li Heng's tone was gentle, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
