Lin Qingya ran all the way, the footsteps behind her getting closer and closer, she didn't care about anything else, she rushed directly into Fengyi Palace and closed the door. She leaned against the door, panting, her heart pounding, she could feel Li Chengqian was outside the door, his anger seemed to seep through the cracks in the door.

"Someone come!" She forced herself to calm down and shouted loudly.

"I'm here." The maid Lian'er pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Lin Qingya sweating and pale, she couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

"It's nothing, I'm just... I'm a little tired. Go prepare some hot tea for me. I need to be quiet for a while." Lin Qingya suppressed her fear and tried to keep her tone calm.

Lian Er nodded and went out to prepare hot tea. Lin Qingya sat alone on the chair. She couldn't be sure whether Li Chengqian had left. She had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

"How could he know..." Lin Qingya murmured to herself, her thoughts in chaos. Her mind-reading ability seemed to have failed, and she could not sense Li Chengqian's thoughts.

"Madam, your tea." Lian'er came in with a tea tray. She noticed that Lin Qingya looked a little uneasy and asked with concern, "Madam, are you really okay? You look very unhappy."

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Lin Qingya took the teacup handed to her by Lian'er and forced herself to drink a sip. She knew that she couldn't show any panic, otherwise it would make Li Chengqian even more proud.

"Your Majesty, you'd better let the imperial physician see you. You haven't had enough rest. If you continue like this, your body will collapse." Lian'er advised.

"No, I'm fine. I'm just tired." Lin Qingya waved her hand. She didn't want Lian'er to know her current situation. She knew that what she needed most now was to think calmly and find a solution.

At this moment, a familiar male voice came from outside the door. Lin Qingya's heart sank suddenly, and it was Li Rui.

"Royal brother, didn't you say you were going to take care of government affairs? Why are you here?" Li Rui's voice was a little playful, and he seemed to have noticed Lin Qingya's uneasiness.

"놖...놖I have something to discuss with Qingya." Li Chengqian's tone was a little hurried, and he seemed to be suppressing his anger.

Lin Qingya's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that she could no longer get rid of Li Chengqian's entanglement. She had to find a way to save her life.

"Li Rui..." She called him tentatively, hoping he could help her.

"Qingya, you..." Li Rui's voice became low and he seemed a little hesitant. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Li Chengqian.

"Li Rui, don't get involved in this. This matter between me and her has nothing to do with you!" Li Chengqian's voice became more severe, and he seemed to have lost his patience.

Lin Qingya's heart sank, she knew that Li Rui would not help her, she could only rely on herself now.

"Your Highness, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Qingya pretended to be calm and tried to keep a calm tone. She knew that she had to remain calm now.

Li Chengqian walked up to Lin Qingya and stared at her with burning eyes. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including anger, jealousy, and... a hint of desire.

"I know you have the ability to read minds, Qingya," Li Chengqian's voice was low and pleading. He seemed to want to explain something, but he didn't know where to start. "You should also be able to see that I... I don't really want to hurt you."

Lin Qingya remained silent. She observed Li Chengqian quietly. His eyes flickered, as if he was hiding some secret. She nodded lightly, indicating that she understood what he meant.

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and continued, "I need your help, Qingya. Only you can help resolve the conflicts within the royal family." There was a hint of urgency in his tone and a hint of hope in his eyes. He hoped to gain Lin Qingya's recognition and hoped that she could become his most trusted partner.

"You mean...your brother?" Lin Qingya's voice was calm, but with a hint of sharp insight. She had already guessed what Li Chengqian wanted to do, but did not agree immediately.

"Yes, them!" Li Chengqian's tone became a little excited. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of anger, and he seemed to be suppressing something. He gritted his teeth and said, "They are jealous of your status and want to take away everything from you! Even...even want your life!"

"Do you... believe me?" Li Chengqian's voice suddenly became low, and he seemed to be making a plea to Lin Qingya. He hoped to gain her trust and hope that she could be his strongest support.

Lin Qingya did not answer immediately. She glanced at Li Chengqian's eyes, which were full of anxiety and uneasiness. She felt that his heart was full of contradictions. He was afraid of his brothers, but he longed for their recognition.

"I will help you, but you have to promise not to hurt your family." Lin Qingya finally spoke, her voice firm and calm. She knew that she could take advantage of Li Chengqian's psychological weakness and reach an agreement with him in exchange for her own safety.

Li Chengqian showed a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't wait to say: "I promise you, I will never hurt your family."

Li Chengqian's eyes were full of gratitude, and he seemed to have finally put down the burden in his heart. He longed for Lin Qingya's help and her recognition. He believed that with Lin Qingya's help, he would be able to resolve the conflicts within the royal family and eventually secure his position as the crown prince.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes. She knew that this power struggle had just begun, and she needed to use Li Chengqian to be able to navigate it with ease and ultimately achieve her goals.

Li Chengqian and Lin Qingya stood by the window, watching the sunset. The clouds in the sky were dyed red, like a beautiful painting.

"I will lend you a helping hand, but you must remember that you can't go back on your promise to me." Lin Qingya said softly, but her voice was full of determination. She knew that she had taken the initiative.

Li Chengqian clenched his fists, his heart filled with gratitude and expectation. He believed that with Lin Qingya's help, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and finally ascend the throne!
