Li Heng's eyes swept over Lin Qingya, his brows furrowed. He tried to find a clue from Lin Qingya's face, but found that she remained calm. Li Heng thought to himself, why did Lin Qingya suddenly bring this up? Could it be that she really knew the relationship between Lord Chen and the Western Regions people?

"Lin Qingya, you said that Lord Chen needs medicinal herbs from the Western Regions? Do you have any evidence?" Li Heng's tone was calm, but there was a hint of majesty in his words.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, you don't need to doubt it, but I think this matter is a little strange." As she spoke, she gently raised her eyes and looked at Li Heng, her eyes were a little cunning, but not without weakness, as if showing weakness to him, and as if reminding him.

"Strange? What do you mean?" Li Heng narrowed his eyes and observed Lin Qingya carefully, trying to see more information from her changing expression.

Lin Qingya sighed softly and said helplessly: "I overheard Lord Chen talking to the Western Regions merchant. They mentioned this special herb, and..." At this point, Lin Qingya paused deliberately, then lowered her voice and said: "I vaguely heard them talking about a secret that seemed to be related to the Lin family."

"Lin family? What's the relationship with the merchants from the Western Regions?" Li Heng's brows furrowed even more tightly. He vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"I don't know either, but I felt that this matter was too strange, so I had the courage to report it to Your Majesty." Lin Qingya said with a worried look on her face, as if she really revealed the matter to Li Heng just for the sake of kindness.

"Lin Qingya, you are so nice. You actually did so much for me!" Li Heng's tone was a little playful, but his eyes became sharper.

"Your Majesty, I just hope that the Great Zhou Dynasty can be peaceful and prosperous, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." Lin Qingya said, lowering her head gently, with a hint of weakness in her tone, as if she were an innocent woman who was just worried about the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Good, good, good!" Li Heng said three good words in a row, but he was secretly calculating. He decided to make good use of this opportunity to test Lord Chen and see what kind of relationship he had with the people from the Western Regions.

"Lin Qingya, you have done a great job on this matter. I will send people to investigate secretly and will not let go of any clues." Li Heng said with a sinister smile on his face. He decided to investigate the matter thoroughly. No matter what secrets Master Chen had behind him, he would bring him here.

Li Heng extended his hand to Lin Qingya, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "Lin Qingya, you've worked hard, please step back."

Lin Qingya nodded gently and quietly retreated from the hall. She knew that she had successfully aroused Li Heng's suspicion. Next, she only needed to watch quietly, and Li Heng would follow her plan and step into her trap step by step.

Lin Qingya left the imperial study and returned to Fengyi Palace, but she was not in a hurry to rest. She walked to the desk, picked up a brush, and began to write and draw on the paper. She wanted to make a perfect plan to guide Li Heng to point the direction of the investigation to Li Chengqian.

"Zhao Sisi, come here." Lin Qingya called out, her tone calm but with an unquestionable majesty.

When Zhao Sisi heard Lin Qingya's call, she walked in nervously and asked respectfully, "My queen, what do you want me to do?" She observed Lin Qingya cautiously, trying to see clues from her expression.

"Have you had any contact with Lord Chen recently?" Lin Qingya ignored Zhao Sisi's question and asked her own question directly. She looked straight into Zhao Sisi's eyes, with a sharp look that could see through everything.

Zhao Sisi was startled by Lin Qingya's sudden questioning. She pretended to be calm and answered innocently, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Lord Chen recently." Her eyes were evasive, not daring to look Lin Qingya in the eye, and her words were a little panicked.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly. She ignored Zhao Sisi's panic and continued to ask, "Have you received any strange things recently? Or have any strange people come to see you?"

Zhao Sisi's face showed a panic, she had already felt Lin Qingya's suspicion of her, but she couldn't explain it. She bit her lip, hesitant and speechless.

Lin Qingya did not ask any more questions. She had seen the clues from Zhao Sisi's reaction. She believed that Zhao Sisi must have some connection with Li Chengqian, and she must have some secrets about Mr. Chen.

Lin Qingya put down the brush, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling streets in the distance, wondering secretly how she could make use of the secret in Zhao Sisi's hands to add bricks and tiles to her own plan.

The next day, Lin Qingya brought Li Rui to the imperial study and reported to Li Heng about the investigation of Mr. Chen. Based on Zhao Sisi's reaction, she led Li Heng to suspect Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty, I think that the secret between Lord Chen and the Western Region merchants is very likely related to Your Majesty." Lin Qingya deliberately lowered her voice, made a hesitant expression, and there was a hint of caution in her tone.

When Li Heng heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at Lin Qingya and asked, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, I accidentally heard Zhao Sisi talking to someone. They mentioned Lord Chen and some secrets about the Western Regions." Lin Qingya said, deliberately revealing a worried look, as if she had only heard the information by accident and then reported it to Li Heng.

"Zhao Sisi? What is her relationship with Tai Wo?" Li Heng frowned, he felt more and more that this matter was strange.

"I don't know either, but I think this matter is related to the Queen Mother, so I dared to report it to Your Majesty." Lin Qingya said, lowering her head gently, with a bit of weakness in her tone, as if she was an innocent woman who was just worried about the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Good, good, good!" Li Heng said three good words in a row, but in his heart he was secretly calculating. He decided to make good use of this opportunity to test Taiyi and see what kind of relationship he had with the people from the Western Regions.

Li Heng extended his hand to Lin Qingya and said, "Lin Qingya, you have worked hard, please step back."

Lin Qingya nodded lightly and quietly retreated from the hall. She knew that she had successfully aroused Li Heng's suspicion. From now on, she only needed to watch quietly. Li Heng would follow her plan and move towards the truth step by step.
