Ah, you traveled through time too?

As Qin Wan'er's influence in the palace gradually increases, Su Mei and Lian Di feel the pressure doubled. They know that relying solely on the existing forces may not be enough to deal with the forces behind Qin Wan'er. They decide to find new allies to gain an advantage in the struggle in the harem.

One day, while walking in the Imperial Garden, Su Mei overheard a concubine talking to a palace maid. The concubine's name was Li Lanxin, a concubine of low status in the palace but very smart and witty. Su Mei became interested in her conversation and walked over.

"Sister Lanxin, what are you talking about?" Su Mei asked with a smile.

When Li Lanxin saw Su Mei, she quickly bowed and said, "Sister Mei Liangyuan, Lanxin was just chatting with the palace maid about some family matters. It's not a sign of respect."

Su Mei smiled and said, "Sister Lan Xin, there's no need to be so polite. I see that you are smart and clever, and I've always wanted to know more about you. Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"

Li Lanxin nodded and gladly accepted Su Mei's invitation. The two found a secluded pavilion, sat down and started talking. Su Mei found that Li Lanxin was not only smart, but also had unique insights into the affairs of the palace.

"Sister Lanxin, do you have any wishes in the palace?" Su Mei asked with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Li Lanxin smiled slightly: "Sister, Lanxin only hopes to spend every day in peace. I don't ask for wealth, I just want peace."

Su Mei nodded and thought to herself. She knew that Li Lanxin's attitude was very rare in the palace, but it was also this attitude that made her feel that Li Lanxin was a trustworthy partner.

"Sister Lanxin, I have a favor to ask of you. Are you willing to help?" Su Mei asked tentatively.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Li Lanxin's eyes: "Sister Mei Liangyuan, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as Lanxin can do it, I will do my best."

Su Mei smiled slightly and briefly described her and Lian Di's suspicion and investigation of Qin Wan'er. She hoped that Li Lanxin could join them to fight against Qin Wan'er.

After hearing this, Li Lanxin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Sister, Lanxin is willing to help. Although Lanxin's status in the palace is not high, I will definitely try my best to cooperate with you."

Su Mei showed a relieved smile: "Thank you, sister Lan Xin. With your help, we will definitely be able to better protect the peace of the harem."

From that day on, Li Lanxin joined Su Mei and Lian Di's camp, and they began to conduct a more in-depth investigation on Qin Wan'er. Li Lanxin's intelligence and wit provided them with many valuable clues, making their investigation much smoother.

One day, Li Lanxin told Su Mei that she had discovered a eunuch who had a close relationship with Qin Wan'er. The eunuch's name was Liu An. Liu An often went in and out of Qin Wan'er's bedroom in the dead of night, which looked very suspicious.

Su Mei and Lian Di decided to follow Liu An in person to see what he was up to. One night, they quietly followed Liu An and found that he had indeed gone to Qin Wan'er's bedroom.

After Liu An entered the palace, Qin Wan'er talked to him in a low voice, while Su Mei and Lian Di hid in the dark, trying to hear their conversation clearly. Liu An said, "Miss, your plan is going well. In just a few days, we can take the next step."

Qin Wan'er nodded and said coldly: "Very good, Liu An, you continue to act according to the plan, and there can be no mistakes."

Su Mei was shocked when she heard this. She knew that Qin Wan'er's plan must be extraordinary. They quietly retreated to a safe place to discuss countermeasures.

"Sister Lan Xin, it seems that Qin Wan'er's plan has entered a critical stage. We must take action as soon as possible and not let her conspiracy succeed." Su Mei said.

Li Lanxin nodded: "Sister, we need more evidence to completely expose Qin Wan'er's conspiracy."

Su Mei and Lian Di decided to further intensify the surveillance of Liu An and Qin Wan'er, and try to get more information from other palace maids and eunuchs.

A few days later, Li Lanxin got an important piece of information. She told Su Mei that a palace maid named Chun'er had accidentally heard the conversation between Liu An and Qin Wan'er and knew some of the inside story.

Su Mei decided to meet Chun'er in person to learn more details. She found Chun'er and asked gently, "Chun'er, I heard that you know something about Qin Wan'er. Can you tell me?"

Chun Er seemed a little nervous, but under Su Mei's comfort, she finally told Su Mei everything she knew. She told Su Mei that Qin Wan Er planned to poison some concubines and ministers at an important occasion in the palace in order to weaken the emperor's power.

Su Mei was shocked when she heard this. She knew that the situation had reached a critical point and she immediately told Lian Di and Li Lan Xin the news. The three of them discussed countermeasures.

"We must tell the emperor this news immediately so that he can prepare in advance." Su Mei said firmly.

Lian Di nodded: "Yes, we can't delay any longer."

Li Lanxin also agreed: "We must act and not let Qin Wan'er's conspiracy succeed."

That night, Su Mei went to the imperial study to see Li Yong in person. She told him the whole story in detail. After listening to it, Li Yong's face darkened and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"These daring and presumptuous people dared to carry out such a vicious plan in my palace. I will never let them off easily!" Li Yong said coldly.

Su Mei held Li Yong's hand and said gently, "Your Majesty, I believe you can find out the truth and protect the peace of the harem."

Li Yong nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I will, Mei'er. Don't worry, I will definitely clear your name."

A few days later, Li Yong began to secretly investigate the conspiracy in the palace, looking for clues related to Qin Wan'er. At the same time, he sent more people to protect Su Mei and Lian Di to prevent any more accidents.

In this palace full of conspiracies and power struggles, everyone is working hard for their own interests and goals. The contest between Su Mei and Qin Wan'er is destined to be a contest full of wisdom and courage. In the end, it remains to be seen who will win in this game of power.

One night, Li Lanxin suddenly brought an urgent message: "Sister, Qin Wan'er seems to have noticed our surveillance of her, and her actions have become more secretive."

Su Mei frowned: "It seems that we must be more careful, but we can't let our guard down."

Lian Di nodded: "Yes, we must act carefully and not let her notice our movements."

Li Lanxin continued, "However, I noticed that she has less contact with Liu An recently, and there are more new faces around her. We need to find out the backgrounds of these new people."

Su Mei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Sister Lan Xin, you continue to investigate the backgrounds of these new faces. Sister Lian Di and I will strengthen our surveillance of Qin Wan'er."
