The vice president of the Black Dragon Society was stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect Lin Qingya to make such an arrangement. He was a little hesitant: "Master Lin, this... this is too good, isn't it?"

Lin Qingya did not directly respond to his question, but simply asked: "Why, are you scared?"

The vice president of the Black Dragon Society was panicked by Lin Qingya's tone. He waved his hands quickly: "놊, 놊, I... I'm not afraid at all, I just..."

"Are you just worried that we won't be able to complete the mission successfully?" Lin Qingya finished speaking for him. Her tone was calm, but it was filled with unquestionable dignity. She stood up, walked to the vice president of the Black Dragon Society, looked into his eyes, and said coldly, "Let go. I will let my guards protect your safety. I guarantee that you can enter the palace smoothly tonight and leave safely."

The vice president of the Black Dragon Society was a little flustered by Lin Qingya's sharp gaze. He lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye, and could only whisper: "Master Lin, I...I believe you."

Lin Qingya nodded with satisfaction. She turned around, facing the vice president of the Black Dragon Society, and said calmly, "Remember, you will be late at the back door of the palace at midnight tonight."

After Lin Qingya left, the vice president of the Black Dragon Society dared to raise his head. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his mind full of doubts: What on earth was Lin Qingya going to do? Why did she hand herself over to her guards? What on earth was she going to do?

The vice president of the Black Dragon Society was puzzled, but he knew that he could only choose to believe Lin Qingya now, because he had no other choice.

Lin Qingya returned to her residence. She sat alone by the window, looking at the bustling streets outside the window. The words of the vice president of the Black Dragon Society kept replaying in her mind. She was full of contradictions: on the one hand, she wanted to help Li Heng and use the intelligence provided by the vice president of the Black Dragon Society to disintegrate the plan of the Black Dragon Society; on the other hand, she wanted to use the actions of the Black Dragon Society to expose the conspiracy of Li Chengqian and Li Chengze, so as to achieve her own goal.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that now was the time to hesitate. She had to make a decision and choose a path to follow.

She closed her eyes and thought carefully. She knew that no matter which path she chose, it would be full of risks. She might even be in danger, but she had to believe in her abilities and her judgment.

She opened her eyes, her eyes were full of determination, and she murmured to herself in a low voice: "No matter what, I must protect myself and the ones I love."

After Lin Qingya left the Black Dragon Society, she did not return to her own residence directly, but went to the imperial study instead. She did not go in directly, but stood outside the door, observing quietly. Li Heng's chief guard, who was also her childhood playmate, was guarding the door. When he saw Lin Qingya coming, he showed joy on his face and hurried forward to greet her.

"Mr. Lin, you are here. His Majesty is reviewing memorials inside." Old Li said, and was about to open the door for Lin Qingya, but she stopped him with her hand.

"Old Li, please step aside first. I have something to say to His Majesty." Lin Qingya's tone was calm, but her eyes were firm. Although Old Li didn't understand, he still stepped aside tactfully.

Lin Qingya pushed the door open and walked in quietly. Li Heng was looking down at the memorial and didn't notice her coming. Lin Qingya walked behind him and called softly, "Your Majesty."

Li Heng suddenly raised his head and saw that it was Lin Qingya. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, followed by deep joy.

"Qingya, why are you here? Is there something?" Li Heng put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and walked to Lin Qingya, asking with concern.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to pull Li Heng to a chair beside her, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you, but it is not convenient here, let's go to another place."

Li Heng was a little confused, but he nodded and followed Lin Qingya out of the imperial study. The two came to the imperial garden, and Lin Qingya found a secluded place before speaking: "Your Majesty, I just met with the vice president of the Black Dragon Society. They will sneak into the palace tonight with the purpose of assassinating you."

Li Heng's face changed. He stood up suddenly and asked sternly, "What did you say? The Black Dragon Society wants to assassinate me? Why would they do this?"

Lin Qingya did not directly answer Li Heng's question, but asked in return: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why they chose this time to assassinate you? Why did they sneak into the palace? What is their real purpose?"

Li Heng was left speechless by Lin Qingya's series of questions. He remained silent and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lin Qingya continued, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the Black Dragon Society's action this time is not a simple assassination. There may be other hidden secrets behind it. This may be the conspiracy of Li Chengqian and Li Chengze."

Li Heng frowned slightly. Although he also suspected that there was something wrong between Li Chengqian and Li Chengze, he had never found any evidence.

Lin Qingya seemed to see Li Heng's concerns, and she continued, "Your Majesty, I have made arrangements. Tonight, I will thoroughly expose the conspiracy of Li Chengqian and Li Chengze. Your Majesty, please do not act rashly and wait and see."

After hearing what Lin Qingya said, Li Heng finally understood her intention of arranging the vice president of the Black Dragon Society to infiltrate the palace. He was full of gratitude and admiration for her.

"Qingya, you are so smart. I...I really don't know how to thank you." Li Heng said, his eyes full of emotion.

Lin Qingya smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to say these polite words. What you need to do most now is to protect yourself. Leave the rest to me."

Li Heng nodded. He knew Lin Qingya's abilities very well and he believed that she would be able to handle the matter well.

The two were silent for a moment in the royal garden, and Li Heng finally spoke: "Qingya, let go, I will definitely protect myself and will never let you down."

Lin Qingya looked at Li Heng with determination in her eyes. She nodded and said, "I know, Your Majesty."

She knows that the prelude to this power struggle has just begun, and the road ahead will be full of unknowns and challenges, but no matter what happens, she will stand firmly by Li Heng's side, fight side by side with him, and meet all challenges.

Lin Qingya turned and left, disappearing into the night of the Imperial Garden, leaving Li Heng standing alone. His eyes were fixed on Lin Qingya's departing back, filled with gratitude and admiration.
