Ah, you traveled through time too?

After the battle, Prince Li Yu met with Leng Ying, Lian Di, and Lian Fang. They summed up the victory of this operation and decided to further investigate the forces behind Mei Fei and Hei Yu.

Li Yu said: "Although this operation was a success, the power of Mei Fei and Hei Yu still exists, and we cannot take it lightly."

Leng Ying nodded: "Your Highness, we will continue to monitor their movements and ensure that they can't cause any more trouble."

Lian Di and Lian Fang also said: "We will strengthen the defense of the palace to prevent the enemy from invading again."

However, just as they were celebrating their victory, urgent news came from the palace: the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and his condition was critical.

Li Yu frowned: "Why did my father suddenly become seriously ill?"

The Queen Mother looked worried: "Yuer, you must go to see the Emperor immediately and find out the situation."

Li Yu nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Lian Di and Lian Fang also said: "We will do our best to assist the prince and find out the reason why the emperor is seriously ill."

The situation in the palace became tense again. Li Yu, Lian Di, Lian Fang and Leng Ying worked closely together to investigate the cause of the emperor's sudden illness. They suspected that this was another conspiracy of Mei Fei and Hei Yu and decided to investigate further.

The night was as dark as ink, and every corner of the palace was filled with unknown dangers. Li Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the deep night sky, and swore in his heart: "No matter what challenges I face, I will definitely protect this palace and my family."

Conspiracies and counterattacks are intertwined, the situation is changing, and everyone in the palace is fighting for their own goals. A more intense contest has quietly begun in secret.

The morning sun shines across the palace. In the courtyard of the East Palace, the flowers and plants are green and the birds are singing. A beautiful woman in luxurious brocade clothes walks in slowly. She has a dignified face and noble temperament. She is the Crown Princess - Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan is the daughter of the famous Liu family in Jiangnan. She is very intelligent and is loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Since the Crown Prince went to the frontier, she has been sent back to her parents' home to recuperate. Now that she has heard that the Crown Prince has returned, she immediately rushes back to the palace, ready to fight alongside her husband and deal with the changes in the palace together.

When Li Yu saw Liu Ruyan, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Ruyan, you are back."

Liu Ruyan smiled and bowed: "Your Highness, I am back. I heard that there have been many incidents in the palace, and I am worried, so I came here to help you."

Li Yu helped Liu Ruyan up, his eyes gentle: "Ruyan, I feel more at ease with you by my side. The situation in the palace is indeed complicated, and we need to deal with it together."

As night fell, the lights in the East Palace were bright. Li Yu summoned Lian Di, Lian Fang, Leng Ling Feng, Leng Ying and Crown Princess Liu Ru Yan to discuss countermeasures.

Li Yu introduced first: "This is my Crown Princess, Liu Ruyan. She is extremely intelligent and will be of great help to our next move."

Liu Ruyan smiled slightly: "Everyone, I will do my best to assist you and defeat Mei Fei and Hei Yu's conspiracy together."

Lian Di and Lian Fang looked at each other, and Lian Di said, "Crown Princess, with your help, our confidence has doubled."

Leng Lingfeng also nodded: "Crown Princess, please give me more advice."

Li Yu looked at everyone and said seriously: "The power of Mei Fei and Hei Yu is still strong. We need to make a more detailed plan to gradually disintegrate them."

Liu Ruyan thought for a moment and said, "The weakness of Mei Fei and Hei Yu lies in their interest relationship. If we can take advantage of this and create conflicts, we will have a chance to defeat them from the inside."

Leng Ying agreed: "The Crown Princess is right, we can start with the people around Concubine Mei and find a breakthrough."

Lian Fang added: “We can also use the old and loyal officials in the palace to strengthen the monitoring and counterattack against Mei Fei’s forces.”

Li Yu nodded: "Let's follow everyone's suggestions. We need more intelligence and a more thorough plan to finally defeat the enemy."

At the same time, in Concubine Mei's bedroom, Concubine Mei, Lin Yixuan and Leng Tianji were discussing the next plan.

Mei Fei sneered and said, "Although the prince has returned to the palace, he may not be able to control the overall situation. We need to seize the opportunity and launch a final counterattack."

Lin Yixuan nodded: "Your Majesty, we can take advantage of the emperor's serious illness to create chaos. At the same time, we need to strengthen our surveillance of the prince and find out his weaknesses."

Leng Tianji added: "Our men have infiltrated the palace and can act at any time. As long as we give the order, we can launch an attack."

Mei Fei's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Then act immediately, there is no time to delay."

Princess Liu Ruyan knew that the situation was tense, so she decided to go out in person and go deep into every corner of the palace to get more information. She cleverly used her identity and wisdom to establish connections with old and loyal officials in the palace, and gradually learned many secrets of Mei Fei and Hei Yu.

Liu Ruyan came to the Queen Mother's palace and reported the situation to her: "Mother, I have learned some important information. The power of Mei Fei and Hei Yu is indeed not to be underestimated."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Ruyan, you did a great job. We must unite as one and fight against them together."

Liu Ruyan continued, "Mother, we need to take advantage of the interest relationship between Concubine Mei and Hei Yu to create internal conflicts. At the same time, we must strengthen the defense of the palace to prevent them from attacking again."

The Queen Mother agreed: "Ruyan, your suggestion makes sense. We must speed up our actions and not give them any more chances."

As night falls again, undercurrents surge in the palace. Mei Fei and Hei Yu's men quietly move to create chaos. However, as soon as they act, they are counterattacked by Crown Prince Li Yu and Liu Ruyan, Lian Di, and Lian Fang.

Leng Ying led a team of elite soldiers and quickly surrounded Hei Yu's men. They started a fierce battle with swords and sabers, full of murderous intent.

Hei Yu shouted angrily: "Leng Ying, you traitor, how dare you be our enemy!"

Leng Ying sneered: "Hei Yu, your conspiracy will not succeed."

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and Lian Di and Lian Fang also joined the battle. Lian Di, holding a long sword, was agile and quickly defeated several enemies. Lian Fang, with his agile body, went around the enemy's back and launched an unexpected attack.

Just as the battle was getting intense, Crown Prince Li Yu arrived with a team of Jinyiwei. He shouted, "Everyone stop resisting and surrender!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Hei Yu glared at him and said, "Prince, you actually intervened!"

Li Yu said coldly: "Hei Yu, your conspiracy will not succeed. Put down your weapons, or I will kill you without mercy!"

Hei Yu gnashed his teeth unwillingly, but finally ordered his men to lay down their weapons. Leng Ying, Lian Di and Lian Fang quickly subdued them and took them back to the palace for imprisonment.

After the battle, Prince Li Yu met with Leng Ying, Lian Di, Lian Fang and Liu Ruyan. They summed up the victory of this operation and decided to further investigate the forces behind Mei Fei and Hei Yu.
