The king also valued her highly, and he couldn't do without her companionship, whether in handling state affairs or in his daily life.
As time went by, Xu Yuehuai gradually integrated into this mysterious court world.
She became a prominent figure in the palace and had more opportunities to interact with other people in the palace, secretly gathering various kinds of information.
Xu Yuehuai's actions alerted the officials, who began to closely monitor her movements.
The palace was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere; everyone knew a storm was brewing.
The central figure in this storm is Xu Yuehuai. During the investigation, Xu Yuehuai demonstrated exceptional wisdom and courage.
She skillfully evaded the officials' eyes and ears, and through close cooperation with other maids and eunuchs, she gathered more and more evidence.
This evidence was sufficient to prove the officials' crimes. However, things were not that simple.
The officials began to take more extreme measures to obstruct Xu Yuehuai's investigation, and the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly oppressive.
In the boundless darkness, Xu Yuehuai knew that her situation was extremely dangerous, and every step she took was like walking on thin ice, which could break at any moment.
However, she did not back down. A resolute flame burned in her eyes, a testament to her unwavering commitment to justice. In her eyes, no difficulty was insurmountable, and no truth was beyond redress.
After some investigation, she discovered a secret base shrouded in greed and power.
It was a sinful place controlled by a group of sanctimonious officials who abused their power for personal gain and wantonly trampled on fairness and justice.
Xu Yuehuai vowed to expose all of this to the light of day, and she would stop at nothing to achieve it.
To achieve this goal, Xu Yuehuai meticulously planned an operation.
Using her intelligence, she cleverly avoided danger time and time again, and finally found the secret base hidden behind the glitz and glamour.
She knew this was a golden opportunity to expose the officials' crimes. However, things took an unexpected turn.
On the very night she was preparing to act, hurried footsteps and shouts echoed through the palace, alarming the entire palace complex. Xu Yuehuai knew her identity might have been exposed, but she did not leave. She resolutely rushed towards the secret base, determined to expose the officials' crimes.
Suddenly, the appearance of an uninvited guest disrupted her plans.
The spy's gaze was sharp and cold, as if it could see through any disguise.
Xu Yuehuai's heart suddenly raced, but she tried her best to remain calm and face this sudden crisis with the most composed expression.
The spy slowly approached, his footsteps sounding exceptionally clear in the empty night.
Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath, her tightly clenched fingers loosening slightly, as if releasing her inner tension and anxiety.
She knew that she was like a deer being watched by a hunter, and any slight movement could give her away. However, Xu Yuehuai did not despair because of this.
A sly glint flashed in her eyes—a confidence in her intelligence and a thirst for victory. She skillfully used the cover around her to approach the spy step by step.
Her movements were light and swift, like a gust of wind sweeping across the ground without leaving a trace.
The spy seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around, but Xu Yuehuai was already right in front of him.
She struck with lightning speed, delivering a powerful punch to the spy's chest. The spy's expression froze in shock as his body flew out like a runaway cannonball, crashing heavily into a wall in the distance.
Xu Yuehuai remained vigilant; she knew the battle was far from over. She quickly picked up debris from the ground and hurled it at the spies. The debris arced through the air, whistling as it hurtled towards them.
The spy struggled to his feet, attempting to fight back, but Xu Yuehuai's movements were too fast; he couldn't catch a glimpse of her at all.
In this fierce contest, Xu Yuehuai displayed astonishing courage and wisdom. She utilized all available resources to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the undercover agents.
Her figure appeared and disappeared in the moonlight, and every move she made was full of power and skill.
In the end, Xu Yuehuai successfully defeated the spy. She was panting heavily, her face covered in sweat and dust, but the light in her eyes shone even brighter.
She knew that this victory was not only a protection for herself, but also a victory for upholding justice.
However, Xu Yuehuai knew that this battle was only the beginning. She was facing not just a spy, but an entire dark force.
However, she had no intention of backing down. On the contrary, her determination grew even stronger. She would use her wisdom and courage to uncover the crimes of those officials step by step and bring them to justice.
However, today's actions had to be stopped, so she immediately left, concealing all traces of herself, and returned to the small courtyard.
Gradually, Xu Yuehuai gathered more and more evidence and discovered that Qin Wenhai was one of the masterminds behind it all.
He colluded with foreign powers, attempting to usurp the throne and seize control of the entire country. Xu Yuehuai was utterly shocked: how dare Qin Wenhai be so audacious, daring to betray the country and its people.
She decided to bring him to justice in order to safeguard the peace and stability of the country.
Therefore, Xu Yuehuai began to formulate a plan. She planned to use her intelligence network, in conjunction with A Qi and the Moon Guard, to expose Qin Wenhai's conspiracy.
The plan was extremely dangerous, but Xu Yuehuai was full of confidence. She believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would definitely be able to bring that corrupt official down in one fell swoop!
One day, sunlight shone through the clouds onto the palace's drill ground.
Wu Hanqing, clad in iron armor, led Xu Yuehuai into this arena filled with passion and glory.
Xu Yuehuai's gaze followed him closely as he fought with a group of soldiers.
Wu Hanqing's bravery was astonishing. Every swing of his sword carried the force of thunder, as if no one could stop him.
He was agile and nimble, and he took down a group of people. The soldiers in front of him were like powerless children, no match for him at all.
Xu Yuehuai was filled with doubt. Wu Hanqing's physical condition looked terrible; he was pale and lifeless, yet his abilities were so powerful.
Why is that? Does he have some secret that no one knows about?
After the battle, Wu Hanqing walked out of the dusty arena. He looked slightly tired, but the light in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Xu Yuehuai silently followed behind him and entered the tranquil palace.
Inside the palace, all was quiet.
Wu Hanqing sat down on a bench and gently unbuttoned his armor. He turned around and let Xu Yuehuai bandage his wounds.
Xu Yuehua nodded silently, squatted down, and carefully treated his wound.
