"Your Majesty, I think this matter is too strange, maybe there is another hidden story behind it." Li Rui stepped forward, observing Li Heng's expression, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Li Heng remained silent, his mind was full of thoughts. He knew that Li Rui was always thoughtful and that what he said to him must have deep meaning. Li Rui's words flashed through Li Heng's mind like a bolt of lightning, making him doubt Li Chengqian's "advice".

"Rui'er, if you have any ideas, you might as well say them out." Li Heng turned his head slightly and looked at Li Rui with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lin Qingya has always been cautious. She will not easily come into contact with the masters of the Western Regions, let alone collude with them. Moreover, the fact that the masters of the Western Regions came to the Great Zhou is also worthy of our deep thought. Why did they choose to come to the Great Zhou at this time? What exactly do they want to do?" Li Rui's tone was calm, but every word he spoke was sharp and hit Li Heng's heart.

Li Heng frowned, he had to admit that Li Rui's analysis made sense. He knew Lin Qingya very well, she was definitely not the kind of person who would betray the Great Zhou. And the sudden arrival of the Western Regions master in the Great Zhou was indeed very suspicious.

"Rui'er, you are right. We cannot believe this easily." Li Heng's expression became solemn, and he began to waver on Li Chengqian's previous words.

"Your Majesty, I think we should investigate secretly and not let Li Chengqian easily control the situation." Li Rui suggested. He knew Li Chengqian very well and had been on guard for a long time.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Li Heng nodded, and finally chose to believe Li Rui.

"I will go and arrange some personnel to conduct a secret investigation." After Li Rui finished speaking, he looked at Li Heng deeply, then turned around and left the study.

Li Chengqian stood aside with a sinister smile on his face. He clearly heard the conversation between Li Heng and Li Rui. He knew that his plan had been exposed, but he did not panic. Instead, he laughed secretly:

"Li Rui, do you think you can stop it? We already have enough evidence. You can't stop it at all!" Li Chengqian was secretly calculating in his heart, and he had quietly prepared the trump card in his hand.

Li Chengze stood by the window, his eyes flashing with coldness. He silently watched the interaction between Li Heng and Li Chengqian, his eyes full of wildness. He secretly joined forces with Li Chengqian, wanting to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Lin Qingya and completely pull Li Heng to pave the way for them to seize the throne.

"Lin Qingya, your show has just begun!" Li Chengze sneered, his eyes full of viciousness.

Li Heng's eyes fell on the desk. He picked up a brush and wrote a few words on the paper:

"Secret investigation!"

"Lin Qingya is colluding with the masters of the Western Regions?" The voices of discussion in the harem surged like a tide. Lin Qingya stood in front of the window of Fengyi Palace, looking at the layers of palaces in the distance, with a burst of sneers in her heart. She could feel that those seemingly friendly concubines were looking at her with contempt at this moment. They were filled with secret joy and wished that she would be driven out of the palace immediately.

"Lin Qingya, how did you get involved with the master from the Western Regions?" Zhao Sisi came over arrogantly, and she deliberately raised her voice so that everyone could hear.

Lin Qingya ignored her and just glanced at her lightly, her eyes full of disdain. A flash of shame and anger flashed across Zhao Sisi's face, but she did not stop there. Instead, she became more aggressive: "Do you think you can still pretend to be innocent? Everyone in this palace knows that you are secretly communicating with the masters of the Western Regions. What else do you have to say?"

"Sisi, be careful with your words." A concubine at the side reminded her with a hint of worry on her face. She knew the relationship between Lin Qingya and Li Rui, and she knew Li Rui's character. Lin Qingya would never do such a thing.

"Don't teach me a lesson!" Zhao Sisi retorted angrily. She was already immersed in jealousy and ridicule of Lin Qingya, and had completely lost her mind.

"Sisi, this matter needs to be investigated thoroughly, you can't jump to conclusions." Another concubine also tried to dissuade her. She had a bad relationship with Zhao Sisi, but she didn't want things to be too embarrassing.

"What is there to investigate? It has been investigated very clearly!" Zhao Sisi pointed at Lin Qingya, her tone full of disdain, "She is a spy who colluded with foreign enemies. Sooner or later, she will be driven out of the palace!"

"Sisi, you're going too far!" Lin Qingya finally spoke, her tone calm but with unquestionable majesty, "You should know who I am. I will never do anything to betray my country. Everything you said is nonsense!"

"Stop quibbling!" Zhao Sisi was aggressive. She seemed to have found an opportunity to completely knock Lin Qingya down.

"Shut up!" Lin Qingya suddenly raised her voice. She glanced coldly at the people around her. Wherever her eyes went, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look her in the eye.

"You..." Zhao Sisi wanted to say something, but was shocked by Lin Qingya's cold eyes. She could only watch Lin Qingya turn around and leave, and she was powerless to do anything.

"Lin Qingya, do you think you can escape this disaster?" Zhao Sisi whispered, her eyes full of resentment. She had made up her mind to make Lin Qingya pay the price.
