Jiang Yanwan listened to Concubine Yun's words, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Although she realized the complexity of the matter, she did not completely believe Concubine Yun's words.

At this time, Concubine Yun stood up and walked towards Jiang Yanwan with a smile, "Your Highness, you see, many things in this world are not as simple as they seem."

Jiang Yanwan also stood up and said politely, "Your Majesty is right. However, I still have a lot of things to deal with. Could you please have someone take me back?"

Concubine Yun smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "I'm afraid I can't agree to this request. Princess, you should rest here for a while."

Then she clapped her hands, and several guards quickly stepped forward and pressed Jiang Yanwan into the chair.

Jiang Yanwan struggled angrily, but found that she was not strong enough to resist those strong guards. "What are you doing?" she asked loudly.

Concubine Yun sneered, "Princess, you already know too many secrets now. I can't let you leave. Just stay here and wait until the matter is resolved."

Jiang Yanwan was taken into a secret room with the door locked. She could only lean against the wall weakly, gasping for breath, her heart filled with despair and anger.

Just then, she suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from outside.

"Yun Ting is here!" Jiang Yanwan was delighted and hurried to the door, trying to call his name.

However, before she could say anything, she heard a cold voice coming from outside.

"The princess has been placed under house arrest here. She will never have the chance to get the news out." It was Concubine Yun's voice.

And then, Jiang Yanwan heard Yun Ting's voice, "Don't worry, Madam, I have arranged everything. She will never have a chance to escape."

Jiang Yanwan's heart sank. She held onto the door frame tightly, and endless sorrow and anger welled up in her heart. "It turns out Yun Ting is one of theirs! I've been used all along!"

She clenched her teeth, thinking quickly in her mind how to escape from here and convey this important news to the emperor.

The conversation outside continued, and Yun Fei said coldly: "Okay, what we have to do next is to ensure that the plan for this Western Region crisis goes according to plan and does not leave any loopholes for anyone."

Yun Ting replied, "Yes, Madam. I have arranged for people to be deployed in various key locations, and I will definitely not let anyone interfere."

Jiang Yanwan listened to these words, and her heart gradually became full of determination. She secretly vowed that she would find a chance to escape and reveal the truth no matter what.

Jiang Yanwan leaned against the cold stone wall, feeling the anger and powerlessness in her heart.

Thoughts were swirling in her mind, and she knew she couldn't stay here, otherwise everything would be over.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind -

She quickly sat down cross-legged, concentrated her mind, and began to activate the poisonous insect in Wu Junyao's body that she had always carefully protected.

At the same time, Wu Junyao was studying a confidential document in his mansion when he suddenly felt a slight pain inside his body.

I saw him frowning slightly, and he became alert instantly.

"This is... Jiang Yanwan's poisonous insect!" Wu Junyao realized that Jiang Yanwan must be in danger.

He immediately stood up, summoned a few confidants, and hurriedly led them to Concubine Yun's palace.

The night was dark, and the moonlight shone into every corner of the palace. Outside Concubine Yun's palace, the footsteps of the patrolling guards were particularly clear.

Wu Junyao and his men approached cautiously and finally stopped at a dark corner.

"Governor Wu, what should we do next?" a confidant asked in a low voice.

Wu Junyao looked around, a hint of calm determination flashed in his eyes, "We will split into two groups, one group will be responsible for attracting the attention of the guards, and the other group will follow me into the palace, find Jiang Yanwan and bring her out."

Everyone nodded and dispersed. Wu Junyao and a few of his confidants quietly approached the window of the palace. He listened carefully for a while and found nothing unusual. So he signaled his men to kick the window open, and several people quickly jumped into the palace.

At this time, Yun Fei was discussing countermeasures with Yun Ting. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a window being kicked open and stood up alertly, "Who?!"

Wu Junyao pushed the door open suddenly, and several followers behind him quickly entered the room and surrounded the people in the room.

Wu Junyao stared coldly at Yun Fei and Yun Ting, "What are you plotting here?"

Concubine Yun's face changed, and she immediately pretended to be innocent, "Wu Junyao, what are you doing? Breaking into my residence, do you know what crime this is?"

"Charge?" Wu Junyao sneered, "Your conspiracy is the real charge. Release Jiang Yanwan, or don't blame me for being rude!"

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Concubine Yun's eyes. "I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. In that case, I don't have to hide it anymore." She waved her hand, and the guards behind her immediately stepped forward and entangled with Wu Junyao and others.

In the midst of the melee, Jiang Yanwan finally broke through the obstacles and rushed out of the secret room. When she saw Wu Junyao, her eyes were full of hope, "Junyao, take me away from here!"

Wu Junyao saw her and felt relieved. He immediately went forward to meet Jiang Yanwan. Under the cover of the crowd, the two quickly evacuated the palace. However, Concubine Yun and Yun Ting would not let them go easily, and they desperately chased after them with their guards.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yanwan suddenly thought of a solution, "Governor, I have an idea. Let's pretend to surrender and take the opportunity to expose their conspiracy."

Wu Junyao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. So the two of them deliberately slowed down their pace, were caught by the guards, and were taken back to the palace.

Concubine Yun walked forward with a sneer, "How dare you go against me? You really don't know how to live or die." She turned to Yun Ting and said, "Lock them up and report to His Majesty tomorrow that they are plotting a rebellion."

"Wait!" Jiang Yanwan suddenly shouted, "We are willing to accept the trial, but we want to see who is plotting against us in front of His Majesty!"

Concubine Yun was stunned for a moment, but then nodded, "Okay, I'll settle it in front of His Majesty tomorrow."

The next day, the emperor summoned all the ministers to the court to listen to Concubine Yun's accusation. Concubine Yun described the case vividly, trying to drive Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao into an abyss.

However, just before Concubine Yun finished her words, Jiang Yanwan suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we entered Concubine Yun's palace last night because she was plotting to frame us, and it involved a conspiracy in the Western Regions." She handed over a secret letter, "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

The emperor opened the secret letter, frowned, and looked at Concubine Yun, "What's going on?"

Wu Junyao added: "Your Majesty, we did break into Concubine Yun's palace last night, but that was to rescue Princess Hefeng who was under house arrest. This secret letter proves everything."

After seeing the contents of the letter, the emperor looked serious and asked, "Empress Yun, what do you want to say?"

Concubine Yun turned pale and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation! They colluded with each other!"

Jiang Yanwan smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, please check the surveillance records in the palace last night, and the truth will be revealed."

The emperor immediately ordered the surveillance records to be reviewed, and soon confirmed what Jiang Yanwan said. The emperor was furious, "Come here, arrest Concubine Yun and Yun Ting, and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Concubine Yun was horrified and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Wu Junyao looked at Jiang Yanwan, and the two exchanged a hint of determination in their eyes.

The emperor looked at Concubine Yun and Yun Ting coldly, and said word by word: "Wait for the results of the investigation to come out before making any decisions."
