Lin Qingya looked at the gleam in Li Chengqian's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. She agreed to help Li Chengqian on the surface, but she sneered in her heart. Did this man really think that she was deceived by his hypocrisy?

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Since I have agreed, I will do my best." She spoke calmly, observing Li Chengqian's reaction calmly.

Li Chengqian showed a delighted expression on his face, and he quickly said, "Miss Lin, you are really the lucky star of our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Qingya smiled faintly. She knew in her heart that Li Chengqian's words were just to please her and make her work harder for him.

Li Chengqian saw that Lin Qingya didn't seem to be happy about his compliments, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He asked carefully, "Miss Lin, what do you think?"

"My idea is very simple, which is to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne as soon as possible." Lin Qingya looked directly into Li Chengqian's eyes and said firmly, "I will do my best to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince win."

When Li Chengqian heard Lin Qingya's affirmative tone, he felt relieved. He smiled relaxedly and said, "Miss Lin, you are really my benefactor!"

"Your Highness, you are too polite. I just want to make a contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty." Lin Qingya smiled faintly, but in her heart she had already begun to plan how to use Li Chengqian's ambition and push him into the abyss step by step.

She would first help Li Chengqian gain some small victories to make him trust her more, and then pass on some false information to him, making him mistakenly believe that he had gained his father's trust, so that he would relax his vigilance and eventually push him into an irretrievable situation.

Lin Qingya looked out the window. The sunlight shone through the window, making her face look exceptionally beautiful. However, her eyes were cold and sharp. She seemed to have seen the scene of Li Chengqian's downfall, and her heart was filled with sneers.

"Ms. Lin, you..." Li Chengqian looked at Lin Qingya's expression and suddenly felt a little uneasy. He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, rest assured. I will definitely help you ascend the throne, and I will make sure you sit firmly on it." Lin Qingya smiled faintly, she turned and left the room, leaving Li Chengqian standing there alone, lost in thought.

Lin Qingya left Li Chengqian's bedroom, but her heart could not calm down for a long time. She walked on the way back to her own palace, her thoughts racing, and she kept replaying the conversation with Li Chengqian just now, as well as the ambition and greed in his eyes. She understood that Li Chengqian was just a chess piece, and what she had to do was to use him as a chess piece to pave the way for herself.

"Miss Lin!" A familiar voice came from behind. Lin Qingya stopped and turned around to see Li Rui walking towards her quickly. There was a trace of worry on his face and a trace of concern in his tone, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Lin Qingya smiled faintly. She didn't tell Li Rui about the conversation she had just had with Li Chengqian. She knew that now was not the right time.

"I heard about what happened just now." Li Rui approached Lin Qingya and said in a low voice, "Be careful. Li Chengqian is a ruthless person. Don't trust him easily."

"I know." Lin Qingya nodded. She thanked Li Rui for his advice, but at the same time she sneered in her heart. She would be more careful than Li Rui. She would use Li Chengqian instead of being used by him.

"What are you going to do?" Li Rui asked, his eyes revealing worry and expectation. He hoped that Lin Qingya could find a safe and reliable solution.

"This is my own plan." Lin Qingya looked up at the sky with a confident smile on her lips. She would not let Li Chengqian succeed. She would let him taste the bitter fruit of his own actions.

Li Rui looked at Lin Qingya's eyes. He knew that Lin Qingya had her own plan. He believed in her and believed that she would protect herself.

"Then I'll go back first." Li Rui said goodbye to Lin Qingya. He turned and left with heavy steps. His heart was full of uneasiness. He was worried about Lin Qingya's safety, but he could do nothing.

Lin Qingya watched Li Rui leave, then turned around and continued to walk towards her own palace. She knew that she still had a lot of things to do. She wanted to use Li Chengqian, suppress Li Chengze and Zhao Sisi, climb to the pinnacle of power step by step, and protect herself and her beloved.

She walked into her bedroom, and the maid came forward to change her outer robe and prepare dinner. However, Lin Qingya had no appetite. She sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, with a determined look on her face. She was ready. She wanted to be the final winner in this power game!
