Lin Qingya smiled faintly and did not answer Zhao Sisi's question. She just shook her head lightly and said, "Nothing, just thinking about something."
A sly look flashed across Zhao Sisi's eyes. She smiled contemptuously and said, "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Li Rui, who was imprisoned by Concubine De?"
Lin Qingya frowned slightly. She observed Zhao Sisi's expression silently, trying to judge her true intentions from her expression.
"Do you want to know?" Zhao Sisi deliberately lowered her voice, her tone full of provocation.
Lin Qingya did not answer. She just stared at Zhao Sisi quietly, her eyes full of vigilance.
Zhao Sisi didn't seem to mind Lin Qingya's silence. She continued, "I heard that Li Rui has been secretly imprisoned by Concubine De in a secret room underground in the palace. It's heavily guarded and almost impossible to get close to."
Lin Qingya was shocked. She didn't expect Zhao Sisi to take the initiative to tell her about Li Rui. She was full of doubts.
"Why are you telling me this?" Lin Qingya's voice trembled slightly, and her tone was full of vigilance.
Zhao Sisi shrugged and said, "I just want to tell you that some people are destined not to be happy."
Lin Qingya watched Zhao Sisi turn around and leave, her heart was filled with uneasiness. She knew that Zhao Sisi's words were not without purpose, she seemed to be hinting at something, but she couldn't understand what it was.
Lin Qingya turned and left the garden, Zhao Sisi's words echoing in her mind. She knew that Li Rui was in danger, and she had to find him as soon as possible and help him out of danger.
Lin Qingya returned to her room and began to think about how to find Li Rui. She knew that it was almost impossible to break through the palace's guards and find Li Rui with her own strength. She had to seek external help.
A name that her father had mentioned suddenly popped up in Lin Qingya's mind—Wang Bo, a reclusive martial arts master, a good friend of her father, and the keeper of Lin Qingya's secrets.
Lin Qingya decided to go to Uncle Wang. She believed that Uncle Wang would help her find Li Rui and help her get out of her current predicament.
Lin Qingya told her personal maid about her plan and asked her to inform Uncle Wang. She knew that Uncle Wang would definitely come to help her.
The maid took the order and left. Lin Qingya sat by the bed and began to think about her next move. She knew that her fate was closely linked to Li Rui, and she had to find Li Rui and rescue him from danger.
Lin Qingya closed her eyes gently, Li Rui's gentle face appeared in her mind, and her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.
It was getting dark outside, and as night fell, Lin Qingya felt more and more uneasy. She didn't know how Li Rui was doing, and she didn't know whether Uncle Wang would agree to her request.
Lin Qingya was becoming more and more uneasy. She could not wait for Uncle Wang to come. She clenched her fists and looked out the window with a firm gaze. A bright moon hung in the night sky, shrouding the entire yard in a silver glow.
"I can't sit and wait for death." Lin Qingya murmured to herself. She decided to take the risk and sneak into the palace to find Li Rui in person.
Lin Qingya put on a black cloak and hid herself in the night. She used her mind reading skills to detect the thoughts of the guards around her, cleverly avoided their patrol routes, and sneaked into the forbidden area of the palace like a ghost.
The palace was completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of birds breaking the tranquility. Lin Qingya walked cautiously under the dim light, her eyes fixed on the front, fearing that she would be discovered.
She went deeper and deeper, and finally found the place where Li Rui was imprisoned, a locked secret room. Lin Qingya tried to open the door, but found that it was sealed and could not be opened.
"What should I do? Should I give up?" Lin Qingya thought anxiously. She scanned the room and suddenly noticed an inconspicuous crack in the corner of the wall.
She tentatively reached her hand into the crevice and touched a cold stone. She pushed it with her hand, and the stone moved.
As the stone moved, a narrow passage appeared on the wall. Lin Qingya was delighted and entered the passage carefully. The passage was very narrow and she could only bend her waist and move forward slowly.
At the end of the passage is a secret underground room, filled with various weapons and books, and some boxes are piled in the corner.
Lin Qingya carefully opened one of the boxes, and found many private documents about Li Heng in the box. The contents of the documents were extremely shocking. It turned out that Li Heng was secretly planning a conspiracy!
Lin Qingya was shocked. She realized that she had accidentally discovered a huge secret. How could she use this secret to help Li Rui and protect herself?
She closed the box again and prepared to leave, but she found that the passage behind her had been blocked by stones.
"Oh no, we're trapped!" Lin Qingya looked around anxiously and found a secret door in the secret room. The secret door led to a narrow underground passage, and the end of the passage was connected to the garden behind the palace.
Lin Qingya didn't have time to think, she immediately went into the passage and ran towards the back garden.
"I must leave here quickly!" Lin Qingya thought as she ran. She couldn't be discovered by anyone. She had to leave the palace as soon as possible.
