"Qingya, what exactly did you find out?" Li Rui looked at Lin Qingya, his tone full of worry. He was worried that Lin Qingya was involved in the power struggle in the palace again, and he was even more afraid that Lin Qingya would be hurt because of it.

"The Defei is plotting to frame Li Chengqian and the Duke of Zhenguo." Lin Qingya's tone was calm, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth and a cunning light in her eyes. She had used mind reading to see through the Defei's plan.

"What?" Li Rui frowned. He couldn't imagine what Concubine De wanted to do, and he couldn't imagine how Concubine De was going to frame Li Chengqian and Duke Zhenguo.

"De Fei plans to use the city guards to arrest Li Chengqian and Zhenguo Gong and frame them to completely eliminate the opposition." Lin Qingya told Li Rui about De Fei's plan in detail. Her tone was full of confidence. She had decided to use this opportunity to counterattack De Fei.

After hearing what Lin Qingya said, Li Rui's face became solemn. He remained silent, his thoughts racing, and he kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

"Brother Rui, don't worry, I already have a plan to deal with it." Lin Qingya seemed to see through Li Rui's worries. She smiled and said that she had decided to take advantage of the situation and make Defei's conspiracy public.

"Do you have a solution?" Li Rui's eyes flashed with hope. He looked at Lin Qingya, expecting her to come up with a solution.

"Of course, Brother Rui, you just need to follow my plan." Lin Qingya smiled confidently. She had decided to take advantage of Concubine De's actions to completely defeat her.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Rui nodded. He placed all his hopes on Lin Qingya. He believed that Lin Qingya would be able to turn the danger into safety.

Lin Qingya cast her eyes to the window. The sky in the distance was dyed red by the setting sun. She had already conceived a plan in her mind. She wanted to take advantage of Concubine De's actions to completely defeat her and take this opportunity to seize more power.

"Brother Rui, you go to the city guard camp immediately, secretly replace the army, and turn Concubine De's army into our strength." Lin Qingya said with a firm look in her eyes. She believed that Li Rui would be able to complete this task.

Li Rui nodded, he stood up and walked towards the door. He was determined to follow Lin Qingya's plan and completely crush Defei's conspiracy.

Lin Qingya watched Li Rui leave with a slight smile on her face. She was eager to see the moment when Defei would fail completely. She believed that her plan would be successful.

Li Chengqian escaped from the palace. He sat in the study of the prince's mansion, panting, pacing back and forth anxiously. He wanted to find someone he could trust as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures, but the cold smile of Concubine De appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling powerless.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" a guard asked respectfully. He noticed the anxious look on the Prince's face and felt uneasy inside.

"Go find Qingya and tell her that I want to thank her for saving my life today and invite her to a banquet at the Prince's Mansion." Li Chengqian spoke hastily, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety, but on the surface he tried his best to remain calm.

The guards took the order and left, while Li Chengqian sat alone at the desk, looking at the memorial on the desk, feeling upset.

Lin Qingya walked into the Prince's Mansion. She looked at the luxurious decorations around her, but her heart was calm. She had seen through Li Chengqian's true thoughts, but he invited her to the banquet for more than just a thank you.

"Sister Qingya, you are finally here." When Li Chengqian saw Lin Qingya, a fake smile immediately appeared on his face. He diligently poured a cup of fragrant tea for Lin Qingya and said softly: "I have been waiting for you. Thank you for saving me today."

Lin Qingya quietly accepted the fragrant tea. She picked up the teacup, carefully observed the tea in the cup, then took a sip and said indifferently, "Your Highness is too polite. I just happened to pass by and it is my duty to help."

"You are really too polite, Sister Qingya." Li Chengqian said with a smile, his eyes showing a cunning light. He tried to hide his true purpose in front of Lin Qingya, but he knew that all his thoughts were seen through by Lin Qingya.

"Your Highness, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Qingya put down her teacup, looked directly into Li Chengqian's eyes, and asked calmly.

"I've been feeling a little upset lately, and I want to ask you if you know anything about Concubine De." Li Chengqian asked in a casual tone. He wanted to use Lin Qingya's mind-reading skills to find out Concubine De's true intentions.

When Lin Qingya heard this, she calmly picked up the teacup and gently stroked the edge of the teacup. Then she slowly raised her head, looked directly at Li Chengqian, and said in a calm tone: "What does your Highness want to ask?"

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, his eyes showing a hint of expectation, hoping to get the true situation of Concubine De from Lin Qingya. He couldn't help asking: "Do you really know everything?"

Lin Qingya smiled slightly. She put down the teacup and fiddled with it gently on the table. She said calmly, "Your Highness, you should know that I am not ignorant. I also have my own secrets."

"Sister Qingya, you..." Li Chengqian frowned tightly when he heard Lin Qingya's words. He suddenly realized that his plan had failed. He could not find out the true intention of Concubine De from Lin Qingya's mouth.

Lin Qingya stood up and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

Li Chengqian looked at Lin Qingya's leaving back, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He couldn't understand Lin Qingya's true thoughts, nor was he sure whether she would use her power to help him.
