Ah, you traveled through time too?

At this time, a minister in court robes hurried in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report."

The emperor frowned slightly: "What is it? Tell me."

The minister whispered, "There have been recent rumors in the palace that Concubine Mei is colluding with some powerful officials and plotting something bad."

The emperor's face darkened: "Mei Fei? Where did this rumor come from?"

The minister continued, "I also heard about it by chance, but I feel that this is a matter of great importance and I dare not conceal it."

The emperor pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said, "You leave first, I will investigate carefully."

After the ministers left, the emperor fell into deep thought. He was full of doubts and didn't know how to deal with the situation. Just as he was thinking, Xiao Anzi quietly reminded him: "Your Majesty, do you want to summon Concubine Mei to ask her clearly?"

The emperor nodded: "Yes, I must find out the truth."

That night, Concubine Mei was summoned to the imperial study. She looked calm and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, you summoned me here. What do you want me to do?"

The emperor looked deep in his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Concubine Mei, I heard some bad rumors that you colluded with powerful officials and had bad intentions. What is going on?"

Mei Fei's expression did not change, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. These rumors must have been deliberately framed by someone. My loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all heaven and earth."

The emperor sighed and said, "I don't want to believe these rumors, but this is a serious matter and I must investigate it thoroughly."

Mei Fei lowered her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept any investigation, just to clear my name."

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Concubine Mei, you should go back and have a rest first."

Mei Fei left the imperial study, feeling secretly proud. She knew that the emperor's doubts would not be easily dispelled, but she had arranged everything and would not let anyone catch her.

At the same time, with the help of Qi Wei, Lian Di and Lian Fang began to secretly collect evidence of Mei Fei's crimes. They knew that only by having enough evidence could they completely defeat Mei Fei.

Lian Di whispered, "Lian Fang, we must be more careful. Concubine Mei will not let us go easily."

Lian Fang nodded: "Yes, we must always remain vigilant and advance our plan step by step."

Qi Wei walked in and whispered, "The Queen Mother has arranged some reliable personnel. You can use their power to speed up the pace of collecting evidence."

Lian Di nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Master Qi Wei, we will act as soon as possible."

The situation in the palace is becoming increasingly tense, with both sides competing secretly. Concubine Mei's counterattack is getting closer and closer, while the Queen Mother, Lian Di and Lian Fang are struggling to find a breakthrough. The palace struggle, with an unpredictable outcome, is gradually moving towards a climax.

Before dawn, the silence of the palace was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps. At the palace gate, teams of imperial guards lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for orders with serious expressions.

In Mei Fei's bedroom, Mei Fei calmly watched Li Han and Qin Rui finish their arrangements, secretly satisfied in her heart. She knew that this operation would be a crucial battle that would determine her fate.

Mei Fei said coldly: "Li Han, Qin Rui, is everything arranged?"

Li Han bowed and replied, "My Lady, everything has been arranged according to your instructions. Our men have been deployed to various key locations, waiting for your order."

Qin Rui also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Madam, we will make sure everything goes well."

Mei Fei smiled slightly: "Very good, you did a good job. We must completely defeat the Queen Mother and her followers this time."

At this moment, a man in black came in quietly and knelt down in front of Concubine Mei: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother seems to have made some moves as well. They are mobilizing people."

Mei Fei sneered: "The Queen Mother is indeed unwilling. However, this is exactly the opportunity we have been waiting for. Li Han, give the order immediately and have our people prepare for action."

Li Han immediately accepted the order: "Yes, Madam."

At the same time, in the Queen Mother's bedroom, the Queen Mother, Lian Di, Lian Fang and Qi Wei were nervously discussing countermeasures.

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Concubine Mei has already noticed something. We must speed up our actions. Otherwise, if she strikes first, we will be in a very passive position."

Lian Fang nodded: "Empress Dowager, we are ready and just waiting for your order."

Qi Wei said, "Queen Mother, Concubine Mei's power is huge. We cannot act rashly. We need a careful plan."

Lian Di thought for a moment and said, "Qi Wei is right. We need to formulate a detailed action plan without any omissions."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, everyone express your opinions, we must ensure the success of this operation."

Qi Wei suggested: "We can divide our troops into two groups, one for open attack and the other for covert attack. This will tie down Mei Fei's main force and create opportunities for us."

Lian Fang agreed: "Qi Wei's suggestion is very good. We can take this opportunity to gain more initiative."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's proceed according to Qi Wei's plan. Everyone must be careful and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

At dawn, the noises in the palace became more and more obvious. The emperor was handling government affairs in the imperial study, but he felt a little uneasy.

Xiao Anzi noticed the emperor's strangeness and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you seem a little uneasy. Is there something troubling you?"

The emperor sighed: "I always feel that something is wrong in the palace. It seems that there is an undercurrent surging."

Xiao Anzi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the affairs in the palace are complicated, you must be more careful."

The emperor nodded: "Yes, I have to be more careful."

Just as the emperor was deep in thought, a guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has something urgent to discuss."

The emperor frowned and thought to himself, "I wonder what urgent matter my mother is looking for me for." He immediately got up and rushed to the empress dowager's bedroom.

When the Queen Mother saw the Emperor approaching, she immediately went to meet him and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report."

The emperor frowned slightly: "Mother, what's so urgent?"

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have recently received some reliable intelligence that Concubine Mei is secretly colluding with some powerful officials and plotting something bad."

The emperor's expression changed: "Mei Fei? Where did this rumor come from?"

The Queen Mother sighed, "I also learned about this by accident, but I feel that this is a serious matter and I dare not conceal it. I hope that the Emperor can thoroughly investigate this matter to ensure the peace of the palace."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Your Majesty is wise. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and clear the palace's name."

At the same time, in Concubine Mei's bedroom, Li Han and Qin Rui were making final arrangements.

Li Han said: "Qin Rui, the Queen Mother's action has begun, we must take the initiative."

Qin Rui nodded: "Yes, we must ensure the safety of Concubine Mei and never let the Queen Mother's conspiracy succeed."

Mei Fei sneered: "Does the Queen Mother think she can succeed? She is too naive. This time we will make her fail completely."

Li Han and Qin Rui said in unison: "Don't worry, Madam, we will succeed."

As night falls, the atmosphere in the palace becomes increasingly tense. Lian Di and Lian Fang act in secret, gradually unfolding their plan.

Lian Di whispered, "Lian Fang, we must be more careful. Concubine Mei will not let us go easily."

Lian Fang nodded: "Yes, we must always remain vigilant and advance our plan step by step."

At this time, a guard hurried in and whispered, "Miss Lian Di, the Queen Mother has something urgent to discuss with you."

Lian Di frowned slightly: "What's so urgent?"

The guard whispered, "The details are unclear, but it seems to be about Concubine Mei's movements."

Lian Di nodded: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Lian Fang warned: "Lian Di, you must be careful not to let Mei Fei's people find out."

Lian Di smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

Lian Di hurried to the Queen Mother's bedroom and saw that she was conspiring with Qi Wei to come up with a countermeasure.

When the Queen Mother saw Lian Di coming in, she immediately said, "Lian Di, there are new developments with Concubine Mei. We must speed up our actions."

Lian Di nodded: "Yes, Queen Mother, we are ready and just waiting for your order."

Qi Wei interrupted, "Lian Di, Lian Fang, you must always stay alert. Concubine Mei will not let us go easily."

Lian Di said firmly, "We will be careful and cautious and will never let Concubine Mei succeed."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, everyone, we must unite as one and jointly deal with the crisis at hand."

The night was dark, and every corner of the palace was filled with tension and crisis. Concubine Mei looked at the secret report in front of her with a sneer, and her eyes flashed with a sinister light. She had made all preparations and just waited for dawn, and everything would go according to her plan.

At this moment, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door. Mei Fei turned around and saw a strange woman walking in. The woman was wearing a black nightgown, with a cold and beautiful face and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Mei Fei raised her eyebrows slightly: "Who are you?"

The woman smiled slightly and knelt down to salute: "Greetings to Her Majesty Concubine Mei. I am Lin Qiushuang, and I have been ordered to come and assist you."

Mei Fei's eyes flashed with doubt: "Who sent you?"

Lin Qiu Shuang replied respectfully, "It was Lord Leng Tianji. He was worried about Concubine Mei's situation, so he sent me here to help."

Mei Fei's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure: "Leng Tianji? Why does he suddenly care about me?"

Lin Qiushuang explained: "Lord Leng Tianji believes that your position in the palace is extremely important, and he is willing to fully support you."

Mei Fei sneered: "Leng Tianji is kind-hearted. Well, since he sent you here, then you should follow me and see if there is anything I need you to do."

Lin Qiu Shuang nodded: "Yes, Madam Mei."

At the same time, Lian Di and Lian Fang were secretly planning how to further gain Mei Fei's trust. They knew that Mei Fei was meticulous and the slightest mistake would lead to her death.

Lian Fang whispered, "Lian Di, we must be more careful. Concubine Mei will not trust us easily."

Lian Di nodded: "Yes, we have to gain her trust step by step before we can find her flaws."

Just then, a strange man walked in. He was dressed in black, with a stern face and a stern look in his eyes.

Lian Di and Lian Fang immediately became alert: "Who are you?"

The man smiled slightly and bowed, "I am Lu Xuan, and I am here to assist the two girls on the orders of the Queen Mother."

Lian Di and Lian Fang looked at each other and felt relieved: "So it was someone sent by the Queen Mother."

Lu Xuan nodded: "Yes, the Queen Mother is worried about your safety, so she sent me here to protect you."

Lian Fang asked, "Lu Xuan, do you know where Mei Fei is going?"

Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "Of course I know. Concubine Mei has been secretly deploying troops recently. Her goal is to completely control the palace."

Lian Di frowned, "It seems that Concubine Mei's ambition is growing."

Lu Xuan nodded: "Yes, so we must speed up our actions and cannot delay any longer."

On the other side, in the emperor’s study, Xiao Anzi was nervously reporting the latest intelligence.

Xiao Anzi whispered, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother seems to have new moves. They are secretly planning an action."
