Lin Qingya returned to her study. The sky outside the window was gloomy, foreshadowing a storm. Her fingers tapped the table lightly, making a slight "knock knock" sound, her eyes deep and calm. Ah Man stood silently beside her, with a hint of worry in his eyes. The simple bookshelves in the study were filled with files, and the air was filled with the scent of ink, forming a sharp contrast with the gloomy weather outside the window.

"A'man, have you noticed anything unusual?" Lin Qingya's voice was calm, and no trace of emotion could be heard, but her keen reading skills had already allowed her to detect an undercurrent surging in the court.

Ah Man bowed his head slightly: "Reporting to the Lord, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have been moving around frequently recently, and have been secretly contacting some unidentified people. I have secretly investigated, but I have never been able to find out their purpose." Ah Man said, gently twisting his sleeves, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

Lin Qingya nodded slightly. She had "read" their plan from the conversation between Li Chengqian and Li Chengze - they wanted to use this incident to push her to the forefront and then frame her. They planned to use the old case to resurrect and create new chaos to achieve their own goals.

"It seems that they can't hold back any longer." Lin Qingya chuckled, her tone without any fear, but with a hint of amusement. She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the palace wall in the distance. She could clearly "read" the wildness and anxiety in the hearts of Li Chengqian's brothers.

In the next few days, Li Chengqian and Li Chengze really started to act. They spread rumors secretly and pinned some unfounded charges on Lin Qingya. In the court, the voices of officials from the Censorate impeaching Lin Qingya rose and fell. Although Li Heng remained neutral on the surface, his eyes flashed with suspicion. Lin Qingya responded calmly. She used the evidence in her hands to cleverly resolve the crisis one after another.

Lin Qingya did not choose to attack directly, but chose to take advantage of the conflict between Li Chengqian and Li Chengze. She secretly released some information, making the brothers think that the other party was going to betray them, thus triggering their internal strife. As expected, Li Chengqian and Li Chengze began to suspect each other and even clashed.

In the end, Li Chengqian tried to get rid of Li Chengze, but Li Chengze was well prepared and came to expose Li Chengqian's conspiracy. The brothers accused each other, and the evidence was conclusive, and their plan was completely exposed to Li Heng.

Li Heng was furious and immediately ordered the imprisonment of the perpetrators and a thorough investigation of the matter. Lin Qingya took the opportunity to present to Li Heng the evidence she had already collected, thoroughly proving the conspiracy of Li Chengqian and Li Chengze to frame her. At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside the palace, but the palace was still solemn.

Seeing Li Heng's furious look, Lin Qingya lowered her eyes and sighed softly. However, she knew that this was only the calm on the surface, and the deeper conspiracy was still lurking in the dark. Lin Qingya's fingers gently stroked the jade pendant, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the past few days, although Li Heng was furious at the absurd behavior of Li Chengqian and Li Chengze, he did not completely believe that Lin Qingya had been completely cleared of suspicion. When he reviewed the memorials every day, he always looked in Lin Qingya's direction inadvertently, with a hint of inquiry and a hint of barely perceptible suspicion in his eyes. This subtle change of mood did not escape Lin Qingya's eyes. She looked at the emperor's deep and unfathomable eyes, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Qingya did not rush to defend herself, but deliberately leaked some false information about her private meeting with an unknown official, and hinted that the meeting was related to her recent policies. This information spread quickly in the palace, and some officials who were already suspicious of Lin Qingya immediately reported the matter to Li Heng.

In the imperial study, Li Heng looked at the memorial presented to him with a frown. He tapped the armrest of the dragon chair lightly, making a "click" sound, and pondered for a long time. "It seems that Lin Qing is not as innocent as he seems." He whispered to himself, with a hint of coldness in his tone. He did not take direct action, but sent his most trusted secret guard, Shadow, to secretly investigate Lin Qingya and try to find more evidence.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingya was in her study, flipping through the intelligence she had recently collected. Her slender fingers rested on one of the letters, and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes. This letter was a key clue in the fake intelligence that she had deliberately guided out. She put the letter back into the mailbox and smiled softly. "The show, it's time to start."

Lin Qingya deliberately slowed down the speed of handling government affairs, claiming to be unwell, but secretly deployed personnel to closely monitor every suspicious action in the court. A few days later, a person she expected appeared - Cui Wenyuan, a member of the Ministry of Rites who had always been regarded as a background board by her, quietly handed over an anonymous letter to Li Heng, describing Lin Qingya's "crimes" in detail. After Cui Wenyuan sent the letter, he quickly left the palace. Li Heng looked at the letter coldly, and this time he did not hesitate at all and ordered a strict investigation. The eunuch beside him carefully tasted the words between the lines of the letter with a solemn expression.

After Lin Qingya got the news, she immediately called her colleagues together and presented all the evidence she had collected. At the same time, she also leaked some important confidential documents. Although these documents were forged, their contents were related to private topics within the royal family. This directly led to the exposure of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Finally, the real mastermind surfaced, and it turned out to be the Empress Dowager's belly who had been lurking in the court for many years - the palace chief, the old eunuch Wang Dequan. This incident shocked the court and the public, and everyone suddenly realized that everything was controlled by this old eunuch behind the scenes. Li Heng was shocked, and he looked at Lin Qingya's wisdom and ability with new eyes.

Lin Qingya stood in the hall, looking at Wang Dequan being escorted out, calm as water. Her eyes moved slightly, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
