However, Lin Qingya's victory declaration was like dropping a bomb on a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. The court was already in turmoil due to Li Chengqian's "accusation", and Lin Qingya's move was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

"Father, I think this matter is too strange. Maybe there is something else going on." Li Rui suddenly stood up, with a hint of worry in his tone. He looked at Li Heng with suspicion in his eyes.

Li Heng tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Rui, asking, "Rui'er, if you have any ideas, you might as well speak up."

"Father, 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 purpose of the masters of the Western Regions coming to Wuzhou is worthy of our deep consideration. Why did they choose to come to Wuzhou at this time? What exactly do they want to do?" Li Rui's tone was calm, but every word he said was sharp and hit Li Heng's heart directly.

Li Heng frowned, he had to admit that Li Rui's analysis made sense. He understood Lin Qingya's reasoning very well, she was definitely not the kind of person who would betray Zhou. And the sudden appearance of the Western Region master in 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 at Li Chengqian's previous words.

"Father, I think we should investigate secretly and not let Li Chengqian take control of the situation easily." Li Rui suggested. He knew Li Chengqian's behavior very well and had already been prepared.

"Okay, let's do as you say." Li Heng nodded and finally chose to trust Li Rui.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Chengqian did not show the slightest surprise when he heard Li Heng's words. Instead, he sneered. He knelt down pretending to be calm and said humbly, "I am just worried that Your Majesty was deceived by the treacherous ministers and would say those words. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Heng ignored Li Chengqian's hypocrisy. He glanced at the officials kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "I have decided to investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it! Anyone who dares to obstruct will be punished by me!"

Li Heng's eyes swept over Li Chengqian, and finally stopped at Lin Qingya. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he ordered the court to adjourn.

Lin Qingya and Li Rui walked out of the court together. Li Rui whispered, "Qingya, are you okay?"

Lin Qingya smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Li Rui looked at Lin Qingya's smile, but felt a little uneasy. He knew that this was just the beginning of a storm and the real test had just begun.

Li Chengqian saw that his plan had failed, and he was so angry that he clenched his fists, and his nails dug deep into his palms, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and still maintained the demeanor of a great man. He turned around and ordered his confidant, with a cold tone: "Go, spread those rumors, and make sure Lin Qingya is ruined!"

"Yes, Madam." The confidant responded and immediately took the order and left. He lowered his head, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he secretly wondered how to make Lin Qingya notorious.

Li Chengqian stood in the corridor, watching Lin Qingya disappear in the crowd, with a flash of resentment in his eyes. He hated Lin Qingya, hated her for taking away the honor that originally belonged to him, hated her for taking away his father's favor, hated her for suppressing him everywhere and making it difficult for him to move forward in the court.

"Li Chengqian, do you think you can still control the situation?" Lin Qingya stood in her bedroom with a slight smile on her face. She closed her eyes and used her mind reading skills to hear Li Chengqian's conspiracy clearly.

She opened her eyes, a gleam of light flashed in them, and she immediately turned around and told her personal maid: "Go, gather all the guards in the palace to the garden, and tell them that I have something important to announce."

The maid took the order and left, while Lin Qingya began to think carefully about how to deal with it. She knew that Li Chengqian's goal this time was to destroy her own reputation, and if she allowed him to do whatever he wanted, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lin Qingya pondered for a moment, a light flashed in her eyes, and she decided to take the initiative to make the truth public and completely destroy Li Chengqian's conspiracy.

Soon, the palace guards gathered in the garden. They looked at each other, wondering why Lin Qingya had summoned them.

"Everyone, I have called you all here today because I have something important to announce." Lin Qingya stood in the middle of the group, her tone calm but full of majesty.

She glanced at the crowd, with a slight smile on her face, and said, "Recently, there have been some rumors about me circulating in the palace. I know that these rumors were spread by Li Chengqian."

As soon as Lin Qingya finished speaking, the guards began to whisper to each other. They all knew that there were rumors circulating in the palace that Lin Qingya was colluding with masters from the Western Regions, but they didn't know the truth.

"These rumors are all false. They were deliberately fabricated by Li Chengqian in order to frame me." Lin Qingya raised her voice and said firmly, "I, Lin Qingya, am not afraid of being tarnished by others' influence. I will never do anything that would harm my surroundings."

Lin Qingya's eyes were firm and her words were loud and clear. Her voice echoed in the garden and reached everyone's ears.

She paused, then continued, "Li Chengqian used such despicable means to frame me for his own selfish desires. His behavior is simply insane!"

The guards were filled with indignation when they heard what Lin Qingya said. They all knew what Li Chengqian had done and that he had always coveted the throne. They had long been fed up with his conspiracy and trickery to frame Lin Qingya.

"Everyone, I'm telling you all this today so that you can understand the truth and not be deceived by Li Chengqian's lies." Lin Qingya looked at everyone and said firmly, "I believe that as long as our family is united, we can completely crush Li Chengqian's conspiracy!"

As soon as Lin Qingya finished speaking, a guard shouted loudly: "We believe in Lin 꺶그, we support Lin 꺶그!"

At once, the guards responded one after another, and they shouted in unison to express their support for Lin Qingya.

"Good, very good!" Lin Qingya looked at the cheers in front of her and a smile appeared on her face. She knew that the crisis was finally over.
