Ah, you traveled through time too?

The man nodded quickly and told everything he knew. Through his confession, the Queen Mother and Concubine Mei learned more details about Jiang Ming's conspiracy and the hiding places of his accomplices.

Mei Fei frowned, her heart filled with anger and determination: "Queen Mother, we must completely eliminate these traitors and not give them any chance."

The Queen Mother said calmly, "Mei Fei, you are right. This incident has shown us the huge crisis hidden in the palace. We must take strict precautions to ensure the safety of the royal family."

After some interrogation, the Queen Mother and Concubine Mei got more clues. They quickly organized a large-scale investigation and caught all of Jiang Ming's accomplices.

As the investigation in the palace continued, Jiang Ming's remnants were arrested one after another, and the conspiracy inside and outside the palace was gradually completely disintegrated. The Queen Mother and Concubine Mei could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the palace returned to peace.

In the hall, the Queen Mother and Concubine Mei smiled at each other. Despite the many crises they had experienced, their faith was even stronger. They knew that as long as they were united, they could overcome all difficulties and protect the dignity and safety of the royal family.

Lian Di and Lian Fang also stood aside, their hearts filled with pride and satisfaction. After this storm, their courage and wisdom were recognized by the Queen Mother and Concubine Mei, and they became an indispensable force in the palace.

The Queen Mother said to Lian Di and Lian Fang: "Thanks to your wit and courage, we were able to escape danger this time. You are the heroes of the royal family."

Lian Fang humbly replied: "Queen Mother, this is what we should do. For the safety of the royal family, we will do our best."

Lian Di also said firmly: "We will continue to protect the palace and never let anyone have the opportunity to threaten the royal family again."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, her heart full of hope and confidence. She knew that with loyal ministers like Lian Di and Lian Fang by her side, the future of the royal family would be brighter.

Mei Fei also looked at Lian Di and Lian Fang with gratitude: "This incident has made me see clearly who are my true friends and enemies. From now on, we must be more vigilant and protect the royal family together."

As time went by, order inside and outside the palace gradually recovered, and Jiang Ming's conspiracy became a thing of the past. But everyone understood that this incident taught them an important lesson, making them more convinced that only unity and trust can overcome all difficulties and protect the dignity and safety of the royal family.

Inside the palace, the sun shines through the window lattices onto everyone's face, and their eyes sparkle with hope and determination. Although the future is still full of challenges, they are ready to face all the storms and jointly protect the peace and prosperity of this palace.

The atmosphere in the palace gradually returned to calm, but Mei Fei's heart ignited a new ambition. After experiencing Jiang Ming's betrayal, she realized that she had to be more cautious and powerful in order to be invincible in this complicated palace struggle.

On this day, Concubine Mei gathered some of her confidants in her bedroom. She decided to rearrange her forces and secretly plan a counterattack.

Mei Fei's personal maid Bi Yao asked in a low voice: "Madam, Jiang Ming has been eliminated, and the palace seems to have calmed down temporarily. How do you plan to deal with the situation next?"

A cold light flashed in Mei Fei's eyes: "Jiang Ming's betrayal made me realize that I can only rely on myself. I must re-plan to ensure that my position is unshakable."

She looked up at several confidants present, including the newly promoted young strategist Li Han, the highly skilled guard captain Qin Rui, and the palace maid Liu'er who was good at gathering intelligence.

Mei Fei continued, "Li Han, you are responsible for planning the next action. We can no longer rely on outsiders, we must have our own strength."

Li Han bowed and responded: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best to make the most thorough plan for you."

Mei Fei nodded and looked at Qin Rui: "Qin Rui, you must strengthen the training of the guards and ensure that our people are ready to deal with any emergency at any time."

Qin Rui responded solemnly: "Yes, Madam. I will arrange training immediately to improve our combat effectiveness."

Then, Mei Fei looked at Liu Er and said, "Liu Er, you must pay close attention to the movements in the palace, especially the actions of the Queen Mother, Lian Di, and Lian Fang. We can't let them get the upper hand again."

Liu'er bowed her head and replied, "I understand, my lady. I will do my best to gather intelligence and ensure that you are always informed of the latest situation."

Mei Fei nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you all go and prepare. Remember, we must proceed step by step this time and must not make any mistakes again."

Following Mei Fei's order, several confidants left the palace and began their own actions. Mei Fei sat alone in front of the window, thinking about the next plan. She knew that this struggle had just begun, and she would use more meticulous means to regain control of the situation.

At the same time, the Queen Mother, Lian Di and Lian Fang were discussing countermeasures in another palace. The Queen Mother frowned, feeling uneasy: "Although Jiang Ming has been eliminated, the situation in the palace is still complicated. We can't take it lightly."

Lian Fang nodded in agreement: "The Queen Mother is right. We must remain vigilant, especially Concubine Mei. Her power cannot be underestimated."

Lian Di pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest that we strengthen the monitoring of the palace, especially the new confidants around Concubine Mei. We must grasp their movements and prevent new conspiracies."

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do as Lian Di suggests. We can't let anyone else have the opportunity to threaten the safety of the royal family."

Therefore, Lian Di and Lian Fang began to arrange people to closely monitor Mei Fei's movements. However, Mei Fei had already anticipated this and she cleverly concealed her actions so that it was difficult for the outside world to detect.

A few days later, Concubine Mei once again summoned her confidants in her bedroom. This time, they had a more detailed plan.

Li Han took out a detailed map with important locations in the palace marked on it. "Your Majesty, we have already investigated the palace's defense arrangements in detail, especially the routes of the Queen Mother, Lian Di, and Lian Fang. As long as we can accurately grasp their movements, we can find the right time to attack."

Qin Rui also added: "I have trained a group of elite guards who can be dispatched at any time to protect the safety of the queen."

Liu Er brought the latest intelligence: "According to my observation, Lian Di and Lian Fang have been frequently entering and leaving the Queen Mother's palace recently. They are obviously plotting a countermeasure. However, they don't seem to have noticed our actions."

Mei Fei sneered: "Very good, this is our chance. We must take advantage of their negligence and counterattack quickly."

She pointed to several key locations on the map and said, "Li Han, you will be responsible for planning the specific actions and ensuring that the attack is successful. Qin Rui, you will lead the guards to ambush at these key locations to ensure that our plan goes smoothly. Liu'er, you will continue to monitor their movements and report to me at any time."

Several confidants responded one after another, and Concubine Mei's plan began to unfold step by step.

At the same time, Lian Di and Lian Fang were still trying their best to investigate Mei Fei's movements, but they found that Mei Fei's actions seemed to have become unusually cautious, leaving almost no loopholes.

Lian Fang frowned and said, "It seems that Concubine Mei has noticed our surveillance and she has become more cautious."

Lian Di nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must be more careful. Since Mei Fei has noticed something, she is likely planning a new action."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "We must strengthen our defenses and continue to monitor Concubine Mei's movements. If she makes any unusual movements, we must take action immediately."

However, while the Empress Dowager, Lian Di and Lian Fang were plotting countermeasures, Concubine Mei's counterattack plan had quietly begun.

Late at night, the palace was silent. Suddenly, a team of black-clad guards quietly sneaked into the Queen Mother's bedroom and quickly subdued the guards. These were the elite guards led by Qin Rui, who were ordered by Concubine Mei to carry out this raid.

At the same time, Li Han also took a group of trusted aides to sneak into the bedroom of Lian Di and Lian Fang, preparing to arrest them.

In the Queen Mother's bedroom, she was reviewing memorials when she heard a noise outside. She immediately became alert. The guard rushed in and reported: "Queen Mother, it's bad, someone is attacking!"

The Queen Mother's face changed, and she immediately ordered: "Call the guards immediately to protect this palace!"

However, Mei Fei's guards acted quickly and surrounded the palace, putting the Queen Mother in crisis.

In the bedroom of Lian Di and Lian Fang, Lian Di just noticed something unusual and immediately drew her dagger to prepare for the fight. However, Li Han had already rushed in with his men and quickly surrounded them.

Li Haner said with a cold smile: "Lian Di, Lian Fang, do you think you can keep an eye on Concubine Mei forever? Now, your doomsday has come!"

Lian Di and Lian Fang looked at each other, knowing that this surprise attack came suddenly and they had to respond immediately. Lian Fang swung her sword to fight, while Lian Di quickly found a secret passage hidden behind the wall and prepared to break out.

A fierce battle unfolded in the palace, with swords flashing and sabers flying, and the two sides fought back and forth, with difficulty in resolving the battle. Lian Di and Lian Fang relied on their excellent martial arts and intelligence to barely resist Li Han and his henchmen.

However, the situation remains critical. Concubine Mei's counterattack has begun, and the situation in the palace has once again fallen into chaos. Can the Queen Mother, Lian Di and Lian Fang turn danger into safety and regain control of the situation? This struggle will usher in a new climax.

Lian Di and Lian Fang were trapped in the palace, and the assassins sent by Concubine Mei were approaching step by step. The palace was filled with sword lights and murderous aura, and the situation was about to explode. Lian Di quickly swung her sword to fight, and Lian Fang assisted her. The two of them had a tacit understanding and tried their best to resist the enemy.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the palace. Mei Fei's guards had surrounded the entire palace. Lian Di whispered, "Lian Fang, we must find a chance to break out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Lian Fang nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Okay, I'll listen to you. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Suddenly, the door to the bedroom was kicked open, and Li Han rushed in with his men. He sneered and said, "Lian Di, Lian Fang, do you think you can escape? Today is your doomsday!"

A trace of anger flashed in Lian Di's eyes, and she responded coldly: "Li Han, you are an accomplice to the evil, and you will be punished sooner or later!"

Li Han sneered: "Retribution? As long as Concubine Mei is in power, there will be no place for you in this palace!"

The fierce battle started again. Lian Di and Lian Fang tried their best, but Li Han's numerical advantage gradually made them feel powerless. At this moment, a hurried shout came from outside the palace: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look. A man in gorgeous clothes walked in quickly. It was the leader of the imperial guards, Qi Wei.

Qi Wei said sternly: "By order of the Emperor, Lian Di and Lian Fang must be brought to justice immediately. No one is allowed to stop us!"

Li Han frowned and tried to protest: "Master Qi Wei, this is the order of Concubine Mei, you have no right to interfere!"

Qi Wei sneered: "The order of Concubine Mei? I am following the order of the Emperor, who dares to disobey?!"

Li Han dared not say anything and had to step away. Qi Wei walked up to Lian Di and Lian Fang and whispered, "You are safe for now, follow me."

Lian Di and Lian Fang looked at each other, nodded gratefully, and quickly left the bedroom with Qi Wei.

In the other side of the palace, Mei Fei was furious when she learned that her action was blocked. She immediately called her confidants to discuss countermeasures.

Mei Fei's eyes flashed coldly: "Qi Wei dared to interfere with my actions, did he think he could stop me with the emperor's order?"

Li Han whispered, "Your Majesty, Qi Wei is the commander of the imperial guards after all, we must act with caution."

Mei Fei sneered: "Be cautious? Who in this palace can stop me? We must continue to act and never let Lian Di and Lian Fang have a chance to breathe."
