The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

When Liu Lian'er heard this, she felt curious and alert. She looked at the maid and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to tell me? Is it about Hai Lian being poisoned?"

The maid nodded and said, "Yes, your majesty. I suspect that Xuanliang was the one who poisoned Hailian. He has been secretly plotting to overthrow the situation in the palace. I hope you can be careful of him."

Liu Lianer was filled with anger and doubt when she heard this. She knew Xuanliang had been plotting against her, but she had not had enough evidence to prove his crime. The appearance of this palace maid put her in a dilemma.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Why are you telling me these things? Who are you?"

The maid smiled slightly, knowing that she had successfully aroused Liu Lian'er's suspicion and vigilance. She said softly, "Your Majesty, I am just an ordinary maid. But I have always been well aware of the situation in the palace. I know that Xuanliang has been secretly plotting to harm you and the emperor. I hope you can be careful to avoid falling into his trap."

Liu Lian'er was filled with gratitude and vigilance when she heard this. She knew that the appearance of this palace maid was not accidental, but someone deliberately arranged it to sow discord between her and Xuan Liang. But she also knew that the palace maid's words were not entirely unreasonable. She had to be careful to guard against Xuan Liang, so as not to fall into his trap.

She looked at the maid and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your reminder. I will be careful to watch out for Xuanliang. But I also hope that you can keep it a secret and not tell these things to others."

The maid nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will keep the secret. I just hope you can be careful of Xuan Liang to avoid being hurt by him."

After saying that, the maid turned and left. Liu Lian'er sat in the bedroom, feeling an inexplicable irritability and uneasiness in her heart. She knew that the situation in the palace had become more and more complicated and changeable, and she had to be careful to deal with every challenge and crisis. At the same time, she was also thinking about how to deal with Xuanliang's threats and challenges to protect herself and the emperor.

The streets and alleys of the capital were bustling with people. Li Yuan and her personal bodyguard Li Shiyi rode on horses and shuttled through the crowd. Their destination was the Wenshu Temple outside the city, which was a popular place for people in the capital to pray for peace and ask for divination.

Li Yuan was wearing a light and elegant dress, with beads on her head, and her brows revealed a heroic spirit. She held the reins and controlled the horse, but she felt a little uneasy. In recent days, the incident of the imperial guards being killed has caused a lot of controversy, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Li Shiyi, do you feel that things in the capital have been a little unsettled recently?" Li Yuan asked softly, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

Li Shiyi nodded when he heard this. He was a burly man with a resolute face. He was Li Yuan's personal bodyguard. He said in a deep voice, "Yes, Miss. I also feel that there is something strange in the capital recently. But don't worry, I will protect your safety."

Li Yuan smiled slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that Li Shiyi had always been loyal to her and was her most capable assistant. She said softly, "Thank you, Li Shiyi. I feel very safe with you by my side."

The two continued walking and finally arrived at the Wenshu Temple outside the city. The temple was full of incense and smoke, and believers came in an endless stream. Li Yuan and Li Shiyi walked through the crowd and came to the hall for fortune-telling.

Li Yuan knelt on the mat, clasped her hands together, and silently chanted a mantra to pray for peace. Then, she picked up a fortune stick and shook it gently, her heart full of anticipation and nervousness.

With a "pop" sound, a stick fell out of the stick tube. Li Yuan quickly picked up the stick and looked at the writing on it carefully. Her brows gradually furrowed. The writing on the stick was not auspicious, indicating that a disaster was coming.

Li Yuan felt uneasy, so she decided to ask for another talisman to keep her safe. She came to the talisman hall and asked an old monk for a talisman. The old monk handed her the talisman and whispered, "This talisman can keep you safe, but you have to be careful of the people around you."

Li Yuan felt even more uneasy after hearing this. She thanked the old monk and left Wenshu Temple with Li Shiyi. However, when they walked out of the temple, they found that the originally docile horse suddenly became manic and restless.

"What's going on?" Li Yuan was shocked and quickly pulled the reins to try to control the horse. However, the horse broke free from the reins like crazy and rushed towards the crowd.

"Miss, get out of the way!" Li Shiyi was horrified when he saw this. He rushed forward and tried to hold the horse back. However, the horse knocked him to the ground and continued to run wildly.

Li Yuan was furious when she saw this. She knew that this horse was carefully selected by her and would never go crazy for no reason. She suspected that someone was secretly plotting something against her.

She quickly drew her sword from her waist and rushed towards the horse. Seeing this, the horse ran even more frantically. Li Yuan chased after it, and finally when the horse jumped up, she swung her sword and cut off the horse's leg.
