Chapter 50: The Mystery of the Jade Pendant

In the palace of the imperial palace, behind the gorgeous screen, Lian Di and Lian Fang sat quietly together, with worried expressions on their faces and uneasiness in their eyes.

"Lianfang, have you heard?" Lian Di asked softly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Lianfang frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. "What did you hear?" she asked.

“There are rumors that the emperor and Concubine Mei have formed a closer relationship,” Lian Di whispered, “They have even begun to unite with the Sixth Prince to try to exclude us.”

Lian Fang's eyes widened in surprise. "How...how is this possible?" She murmured to herself, "Although Concubine Mei is favored by the emperor, how could she betray us?"

Lian Di smiled bitterly. "In the palace, who can guarantee that power will not go to one's head?"

Suddenly, a palace maid hurried into the room with a panicked look on her face. "My ladies, there is urgent news. It seems that Concubine Mei has obtained the emperor's permission and is preparing to announce an important news at the banquet tonight."

Lianfang and Liandi looked at each other and felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"We have to be careful," Lian Fang said firmly. "No matter what happens, we must stick together."

Lian Di nodded. She knew that facing the threats from Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince, they had to remain vigilant to avoid falling into deeper danger.

As night fell, the banquet hall in the palace was brightly lit and the atmosphere was festive. The emperor sat on the throne, Mei Fei's gentle smile set off her luxurious clothes, while the Sixth Prince stood aside, looking confident and arrogant.

Lian Di and Lian Fang entered the banquet hall gracefully in gorgeous palace dresses. They were in a heavy mood, but on the surface they remained dignified and calm.

In the middle of the banquet, Concubine Mei stood up, attracting everyone's attention. "Your Majesty, I have an important matter to ask your Majesty." Her voice was clear and pleasant, but Lian Di and Lian Fang sensed a conspiracy.

The emperor nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue.

Mei Fei bowed to the emperor and said slowly, "I have recently discussed with the Sixth Prince and feel that the management of the palace needs some adjustments."

This caused a stir and people started talking about it. Lian Di and Lian Fang became alert, knowing that there must be some conspiracy behind this.

"We propose that more palace affairs be handled by Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince to save the emperor from too much work." The Sixth Prince added lightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Lian Di and Lian Fang's hearts sank to the bottom. This was a premeditated coup, and they knew that if they did not take action, their position would be in jeopardy.

"Your Majesty, we have objections!" Lian Di stood up, her voice firm and resolute, "Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince are just concubines and princes, but they colluded with each other and tried to usurp the imperial power."

The banquet hall was in complete silence, with everyone's eyes focused on Lian Di. Concubine Mei's face instantly turned livid, while the Sixth Prince revealed a mocking smile.

The emperor frowned, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. This moment determined the fate of the palace, and also the fate of Lian Di and Lian Fang.

When Lian Di stood up to expose the conspiracy of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince, the atmosphere in the banquet hall froze for a moment, and then it became boiling. For a moment, the whole hall was filled with discussions, and people expressed their support or opposition.

Mei Fei's face turned pale, with anger and fear flashing in her eyes. She wanted to refute, but she knew that she could no longer clear herself of suspicion.

The Sixth Prince sneered at Lian Di, his eyes full of mockery. "Lian Di, why are you courting death? What evidence do you have to prove our conspiracy?"

Lian Di stared at the Sixth Prince calmly, her voice firm and decisive. "Although I don't have direct evidence, I am confident that His Majesty the Emperor will investigate this matter and find out the truth."

The emperor looked solemn. He was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly. "This matter cannot be ignored. I will personally investigate to find out the truth."

These words made Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince feel depressed. They understood that the Emperor had begun to doubt this matter and their conspiracy might be exposed.

As the banquet came to an end, the emperor announced a temporary halt to all palace affairs and ordered a thorough investigation. Lian Di and Lian Fang were secretly glad, but they also knew that they still had a long and difficult struggle to face the power of Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince.

In the days that followed, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense. Rumors spread, and various forces fought overtly and covertly. Lian Di and Lian Fang continued to collect evidence, trying to find the weaknesses of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince.

By chance, they found a secret letter that confirmed the collusion between Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince. This letter pushed their actions to a new level, and they set out to present this key evidence to the emperor.

However, Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince were not to be outdone. They set numerous traps to try to prevent Lian Di and Lian Fang from presenting evidence to the emperor.

This plot development brings more tension and complexity to the story. Lian Di and Lian Fang must work through dangers and obstacles to uncover the conspiracy of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince and protect their own status and dignity.

As time goes by, Lian Di and Lian Fang's investigation deepens, while Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince's counterattacks become more and more fierce. In the palace, the outcome of who will win and who will lose has become unpredictable.

One night, in the dark of the palace, Lian Di and Lian Fang were plotting their next move. Suddenly, they heard footsteps and stood up alertly, ready to face a possible enemy attack.

However, what appeared before them was a mysterious figure in black, with a sinister look and a chilling aura.

"Are you Lian Di and Lian Fang?" the mysterious figure asked coldly.

Lian Di and Lian Fang exchanged glances and nodded vigilantly.

"I have important news to tell you." The mysterious figure said, "Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince have learned of your plan, and they are planning the final blow against you."

Lian Di and Lian Fang's hearts tightened, they knew that the current situation was already very critical. If Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince's conspiracy succeeded, they would face an even more severe situation.

"What should we do?" Lianfang asked anxiously.

The mysterious figure looked stern, "You must act immediately and present the evidence in your hands to the emperor. Only the emperor can stop the conspiracy of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince."

Lian Di and Lian Fang nodded. They knew that there was no way out now and they could only face it bravely.

Under the guidance of a mysterious figure, Lian Di and Lian Fang passed through the secret passage of the palace and came to the door of the emperor's bedroom. They were determined to present the evidence in their hands to the emperor, even if it meant risking being discovered.

Just as they were about to push open the bedroom door, a figure suddenly flashed out from the darkness and stood in front of them.

"Do you think you can hide this from me?" A cold voice sounded, and that person was none other than Concubine Mei.

When Concubine Mei stood in front of Lian Di and Lian Fang, the Sixth Prince was following behind her, and both of them had cunning and mockery in their eyes.

Lian Di and Lian Fang were anxious in the face of this sudden obstruction, but they remained calm. Lian Di raised her head and said to Concubine Mei with a firm gaze: "Concubine Mei, you can't stop us from presenting the truth to the emperor. Your conspiracy will be exposed in the end."

Mei Fei sneered, with a hint of cruelty in her eyes. "Lian Di, you are so naive. Do you think the emperor will believe your lies?"

Lian Fang also stood up and said, "Mei Fei, your crimes have been exposed. It will be useless to deny them."

The Sixth Prince looked at the two concubines and said coldly, "You are courting your own death. In this case, don't blame us for being rude."

After that, they commanded the guards behind them to attack Lian Di and Lian Fang. Lian Di and Lian Fang were agile. Although they had no martial arts skills, they had lived in the palace for many years and had already learned the skills to deal with danger. They fought hard, but soon found themselves trapped in the siege.

Faced with the heavy siege, Lian Di and Lian Fang knew that they had to leave here as soon as possible to survive. They looked around the hall for a chance to escape, and suddenly, Lian Di's eyes fell on a back door.

"Lianfang, come with me!" she shouted loudly, then pulled Lianfang towards the back door.

Under the attack of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince, they tried their best to break through the back door and came to the courtyard outside the palace. Under the cover of night, it was quiet and dark.

"We have to leave here quickly!" Lianfang said anxiously.

Lian Di nodded. They understood that they had to find a safe place to hide so as not to be hunted down by Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince's men.

They decided to hide in a secret passage in the palace and wait for the right time to act. But when they returned to their hiding place, they found that their evidence had been destroyed. The secret letter had disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes.

"The evidence...is...all destroyed!" Lian Fang said tremblingly.

Lian Di frowned, and a feeling of despair surged in her heart. They relied on these evidences to expose the conspiracy of Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince. Now that they have lost all of them, how will they fight against them?

In the darkness of the palace, Lian Di and Lian Fang face an even more difficult challenge. They must find evidence again and expose the conspiracy of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince again, otherwise they will not be able to protect the dignity of themselves and the royal family.

Lian Di and Lian Fang stood in front of the destroyed remains of the evidence in shock, feeling a deep sense of defeat. They knew that without evidence, they could not prove their innocence, let alone expose the conspiracy of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince.

"We must look for evidence again." Lian Fang's voice was firm, "Otherwise, we will have nothing."

Lian Di nodded. She knew that now was not the time to be discouraged, but the time to act. "Yes, we can't give up. We must find another way to uncover the truth."

They decided to return to their residence first and re-examine the whole thing. On the way back, they kept thinking and trying to find new clues and evidence.

Arriving at the residence, Lian Di and Lian Fang began to think carefully about everything that had happened before. Suddenly, Lian Fang's eyes fell on a broken screen.

"Lian Di, look!" she shouted excitedly.

Lian Di walked over and carefully observed the damaged part of the screen. They found that there was a small piece of text left in the damaged part, which seemed to have been deliberately covered up.

"This may be our clue!" Lian Di said excitedly, "Maybe there is some important information hidden behind this."

They decided to repair the damage first to see if they could find any useful clues. After some hard work, they finally repaired the screen.

On the back of the screen, they found a deliberately deleted text. After careful study, they found that it was a document that had been covered up in the past, and the content was related to the conspiracy between Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince.

Lian Di and Lian Fang were delighted that they had finally found a new clue. They decided to use this document to restart their investigation in order to expose the conspiracy of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince and clear themselves of the injustice.

In the darkness of the palace, Lian Di and Lian Fang embark on a new adventure. How will they use this new clue to reveal the truth again? Everything will determine their fate and the future of the palace.

The new clues in Lian Di and Lian Fang's hands seemed to bring them a glimmer of hope, but also made them feel more vigilant. They knew that they must not take it lightly now, and any negligence might put them in greater danger.
