"Lin Qingya, you are trying to sow discord!" Zhao Sisi stood up angrily. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, but she did not dare to lose her temper.
"I didn't instigate discord. I just told your Majesty what I saw." Lin Qingya's tone was calm, as if she didn't see Zhao Sisi's anger. She looked at Zhao Sisi quietly, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"You...you..." Zhao Sisi was so angry that she couldn't speak. She could only watch Lin Qingya turn around and leave, her heart filled with anger and fear.
Li Heng stood by the window, watching Lin Qingya leave, his eyes full of complex emotions. He knew Lin Qingya's ability in his heart, but at the same time he also doubted Lin Qingya's motives. He didn't know whether Lin Qingya was really thinking about the Zhou Dynasty, or just benefiting him for his own purposes.
"Prince, what do you think?" Li Heng turned and looked at Li Chengqian, with a hint of temptation in his tone.
Li Chengqian's face showed a panic expression, he said quickly: "Father, I believe that Lin Qingya will never do anything to sow discord. She must be thinking about the safety of the Zhou Dynasty."
"Really?" Li Heng sneered. He did not believe what Li Chengqian said, but he could not directly accuse Li Chengqian because he had no solid evidence.
Li Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Come on, pass on the order to immediately investigate the relationship between the crown prince and the Western Region merchants and make sure to find out the truth."
When Li Chengqian heard this, an alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart. He knew that he had been exposed and he had to take action as soon as possible, otherwise he would face extreme danger.
Li Chengqian showed a sinister smile on his face. He secretly decided to use the power in his hands to completely eliminate Lin Qingya and completely control Li Heng to pave the way for his ascension to the throne.
Li Chengqian turned and left the imperial study. He already had a plan in his mind. He decided to take advantage of Zhao Sisi and use her as his chess piece to help himself out of the predicament.
Li Chengqian came to Zhao Sisi's bedroom and saw Zhao Sisi sitting beside the bed with a sad look on her face.
"Sisi, what's wrong with you?" Li Chengqian asked with pretended concern.
"I...I..." Zhao Sisi burst into tears. She told Li Chengqian that Lin Qingya had exposed the secret between her and Li Chengqian.
"Lin Qingya, this bitch, actually dared to expose our secret!" Zhao Sisi said angrily.
Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with viciousness. He gently stroked Zhao Sisi's cheek and comforted her, "Sisi, don't worry, I will avenge you."
"Will you really avenge me?" Zhao Sisi asked with a hint of doubt.
"Of course." Li Chengqian said firmly. He was secretly thinking about how to make Zhao Sisi useful to him.
Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Sisi with desire in his eyes. He decided to take advantage of Zhao Sisi and turn her into his tool to help him achieve his goals.
"Sisi, don't worry, I will make you the most noble woman in the harem." Li Chengqian looked into Zhao Sisi's eyes and said softly.
When Zhao Sisi heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She believed what Li Chengqian said, and she believed that Li Chengqian would give her the best future.
"Li Rui, are you okay?" Lin Qingya asked nervously. She held Li Rui's hand, feeling the slight cold sweat on his palm, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.
Li Rui shook his head, trying hard to suppress his inner uneasiness, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired recently, I just need to rest for a while." He looked at Lin Qingya with pleading eyes, hoping that she would not ask any more questions.
Lin Qingya knew that Li Rui was hiding something from her, but he didn't want to say it, and she didn't want to force him, so she could only stay with him silently. She clearly felt that Li Rui had a fear hidden deep in his heart, which came from the darkness of the court and the vortex of power struggle.
Lin Qingya secretly decided that she would protect Li Rui and keep him away from this ruthless struggle. She decided to take the initiative and use her mind reading skills to win more time and opportunities for Li Rui.
A bold idea flashed through Lin Qingya's mind. She wanted to take the initiative to show her affection to Li Heng and show her admiration for him. She believed that because of Li Heng's curiosity and desire for her, she could gain more time and space for Li Rui.
"I heard that the peonies in the Imperial Garden have been blooming particularly beautifully recently. Why don't we go take a look?" Lin Qingya suggested, her tone gentle and expectant.
Li Rui hesitated for a moment. He knew that Lin Qingya was worried about him, but he could not stay out of this palace struggle and he had to face it bravely.
"Okay." Li Rui finally agreed. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and followed Lin Qingya to the Imperial Garden.
The two strolled in the flower-filled imperial garden. Lin Qingya pointed to a blooming peony and said to Li Rui with a smile, "The petals of this peony are like your eyes, full of tenderness and light." There was a hint of admiration in her tone, and she deliberately kept her gaze on Li Rui's eyes, hoping to attract Li Heng's attention.
Lin Qingya was quick to notice the sound of hurried footsteps coming from afar. She looked up and saw Li Heng walking towards them with a group of guards.
Lin Qingya calmly adjusted her expression, with a look of surprise on her face. She knew that this was a chance encounter she had carefully planned, and she was showing her charm and wisdom to Li Heng.
"Royal brother, why are you here?" Li Rui saluted Li Heng with a hint of surprise in his tone.
Li Heng's eyes fell on Lin Qingya. He carefully observed Lin Qingya's expression and movements, trying to read her true thoughts from her eyes.
"I heard that the peonies here are blooming particularly beautifully, so I came to take a look." Li Heng's tone was indifferent, but his eyes were full of exploration and curiosity.
Lin Qingya coughed softly, looked at Li Heng tenderly, and said in a low and soft voice: "Brother, the petals of this peony are like your eyes, full of wisdom and light."
Li Heng's mouth curled up slightly. He was attracted by Lin Qingya's straightforwardness and courage. He was touched. He deliberately asked, "Oh? Really? Why didn't I notice it?"
Lin Qingya smiled and said, "My brother is a deep-minded person, so he won't easily reveal his emotions." There was a hint of teasing in her words, but it didn't seem frivolous at all. Instead, it made her look smart and confident.
Li Heng was surprised at Lin Qingya's wit and sensitivity. He thought to himself that this woman was not simple and she seemed to be hiding some secret.
Li Heng stared at Lin Qingya deeply, his eyes full of exploration and temptation. He wanted to understand the real thoughts of this woman and what she wanted.
"I heard that you are studying the Western Regions' Qimen Dunjia. Can you let me see it for myself?" Li Heng suddenly asked. He wanted to test Lin Qingya's ability and see if she was trustworthy.
"Brother, you are joking. I am just a woman. How can I know anything about Qimen Dunjia?" Lin Qingya said modestly, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Li Heng looked at Lin Qingya's reaction and became more certain that this woman must be hiding some secret. He decided to test her to see how long she could hide it.
"It's okay. I'm very curious. Let me see your wisdom." Li Heng said firmly. He decided to completely uncover Lin Qingya's true face. He wanted to see who she was and what her intentions were.
Lin Qingya smiled secretly in her heart. She knew that Li Heng was testing her, but she was not afraid. She decided to take advantage of Li Heng's curiosity, show her ability and wisdom, and make him rely on her more.
"Brother, do you really want to know?" Lin Qingya had a sly smile on her face, her eyes revealing a challenge and confidence.
Li Heng nodded. He wanted to see what kind of surprise this woman could bring him.
"Okay, then I will dedicate a song to my brother, so that you can feel my wisdom." As soon as Lin Qingya finished speaking, she took out a guqin from her sleeve, gently stroked the strings, and prepared to play a song.
Li Heng stared at Lin Qingya closely. He wanted to know how this woman would show her wisdom and ability.
Lin Qingya's fingers danced lightly on the strings of the piano. The beautiful piano sound echoed in the imperial garden, as if bringing everyone into a mysterious realm.
Li Heng was attracted by the beautiful piano sound. He listened quietly, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
Lin Qingya's piano music became faster and faster, more and more urgent, as if telling a shocking story.
Li Heng stared at Lin Qingya closely, trying to interpret the meaning of the song from her eyes.
Lin Qingya's piano playing suddenly stopped. She raised her head and looked at Li Heng deeply.
"Brother, do you understand the meaning of this song?" Lin Qingya asked, with a hint of mystery and expectation in her tone.
Li Heng shook his head. He did not fully understand the meaning of the song, but he knew that the song must be hiding some secrets and he needed time to slowly decipher it.
"The name of this song is 'The Moon Shines on Your Heart', which means that your heart is like the moonlight, clear and transparent, and can see through everything." Lin Qingya explained with a smile, her eyes revealing a hint of cunning and confidence.
Li Heng listened to Lin Qingya's explanation and immediately became alert. He realized that Lin Qingya was not a simple woman. Her wisdom and ability far exceeded his imagination.
Li Heng remained silent, his heart full of questions and doubts. He wanted to know what Lin Qingya's real purpose was.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, I won't hurt you, I will only help you." Lin Qingya showed a mysterious smile at the corner of her mouth, and her words revealed a hint of firmness and confidence.
Li Heng looked at Lin Qingya, his heart was full of complicated emotions. He believed in Lin Qingya's ability, but he also doubted her motives. He didn't know what Lin Qingya wanted and what she wanted from him.
"Okay, I believe you." Li Heng finally chose to believe Lin Qingya. He hoped that Lin Qingya could help him and keep him invincible in the complicated court struggle.
Lin Qingya nodded gently. She knew that she had successfully attracted Li Heng's attention and gained his trust.
"Brother, I still need your help with many things." Lin Qingya said softly, with a hint of tenderness and request in her tone.
Li Heng looked at Lin Qingya, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He didn't know what Lin Qingya wanted, but he was willing to believe her and help her.
"Okay, go ahead." Li Heng nodded. He decided to trust Lin Qingya and help her because he believed that she must have her reasons.
"I want to know..." Lin Qingya took a deep breath and looked at Li Heng, her eyes full of expectation and desire.
"What do you want to check?" Li Heng looked at Lin Qingya, his eyes full of doubts and curiosity.
"I want to find out who is secretly framing me and who is spreading rumors that I have an affair with a master from the Western Regions." Lin Qingya said softly, with a trace of sadness and grievance in her eyes.
When Li Heng heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He had never thought that Lin Qingya would be framed like this. He was secretly angry in his heart, and he had decided to thoroughly investigate the matter and seek justice for Lin Qingya.
"Okay, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let those who spread rumors and cause trouble go." Li Heng said firmly, his eyes filled with anger and determination.
Lin Qingya looked at Li Heng, her heart was filled with emotion, she knew that Li Heng had decided to help her, and she had successfully gained his support.
"Thank you, brother." Lin Qingya said softly, her eyes full of gratitude and trust.
Lin Qingya believed that as long as she got Li Heng's help, she would be able to find out the truth and clear her name.
"Thank you, you are my sister, of course I have to help you." Li Heng looked at Lin Qingya, his eyes full of pity and love.
"Royal brother..." Lin Qingya looked at Li Heng, her heart was filled with emotion. She had decided to take advantage of Li Heng's trust in her and complete her plan for him.
Lin Qingya nodded gently. She knew that she had successfully gained Li Heng's support. She had successfully taken advantage of this game and obtained the result she wanted.
