"He knows that even without me, he can always find other ways to deal with Li Chengze, but he prefers to use me because it is faster, safer, and more covert."

Lin Qingya's tone was calm and she did not explain any more. She just picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. Her movements were elegant and calm, as if she was talking about something unimportant.

After listening to Lin Qingya's words, Li Rui was silent for a moment. He looked at Lin Qingya with complicated eyes, and finally nodded and said softly: "Okay, I believe you."

Lin Qingya smiled faintly, she knew that Li Rui already believed her.

"So what are you going to do next?" Li Rui asked. He wanted to know Lin Qingya's next plan.

"I'm going to find Li Chengqian and make him trust me completely." Lin Qingya stood up and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Li Rui asked.

"I'm going to a place where I can show Li Chengqian how important I am to him." Lin Qingya said, her tone confident and firm, her eyes full of brilliance.

Li Rui looked at Lin Qingya's determined back, his heart full of expectations. He knew that the battle for the throne had just begun.

Lin Qingya left Li Rui's study and walked alone in the palace corridor. The sunlight shone through the window frames, making her figure look particularly slender.

She walked all the way to the Imperial Garden. The scenery here was beautiful and the air was fresh, but Lin Qingya had no time to appreciate it. She looked around, looking for Li Chengqian's trace.

Finally, she found Li Chengqian in a corner of the Imperial Garden.

Li Chengqian was alone at this time, sitting on a stool with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Qingya walked forward and said softly.

Li Chengqian looked up when he heard the voice and saw that it was Lin Qingya. He showed a trace of surprise on his face, but then he regained his composure and said, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you and give you something." Lin Qingya said with a smile. She took out a brocade box from her arms and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian opened the box with some curiosity. Inside was an exquisite scroll painting depicting a landscape and pastoral scene. The painting style was fresh and natural, and very pleasing to the eye.

"What is this?" Li Chengqian asked. He didn't quite understand what Lin Qingya meant by giving him this painting.

"I drew this picture myself. I'm giving it to you. I hope you like it." Lin Qingya said with a smile. She didn't explain the meaning of the painting. She just hoped that Li Chengqian could feel her heart.

"You can also paint?" Li Chengqian was a little surprised. He didn't know that Lin Qingya had such a talent.

"I sometimes paint in my spare time." Lin Qingya said with a smile, her tone was nonchalant, as if the matter was insignificant.

"This painting..." Li Chengqian looked at the scroll carefully. He found that the style of this painting was a little special. He seemed to sense a hint of unusual information from it.

"Is there anything wrong with this painting?" Lin Qingya noticed Li Chengqian's expression and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, this painting is very good." Li Chengqian put the scroll away. He was full of doubts in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

"As long as you like it." Lin Qingya said with a smile. She had achieved her goal. She used this painting to attract Li Chengqian's attention. What happened next depended on Li Chengqian's reaction.
