Ah, you traveled through time too?

After the palace conspiracy gradually subsided, a new challenge quietly arrived again. One day, Li Yong summoned Su Mei to the imperial study with a solemn look on his face.

"Mei'er, I have something important to tell you." Li Yong said.

Su Mei sensed the seriousness of the situation, so she waited quietly for Li Yong to continue.

"Recently, a man who claimed to be an old friend of mine came to visit me. He brought with him a peerless swordsman named Ye Gucheng. They claimed that they were willing to help me eliminate the hostile forces in the court, but I always felt that there was something fishy about it." Li Yong said slowly.

Su Mei's heart tightened, and she asked, "Your Majesty, do you doubt their motives?"

Li Yong nodded: "Yes, although Ye Gucheng's martial arts are indeed strong, I always feel that there is some kind of danger hidden in him."

Su Mei thought for a moment and suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me and my sisters investigate Ye Gucheng together to see what his purpose is."

Li Yong agreed with Su Mei's suggestion and then summoned Ye Gucheng and the old friend.

Ye Gucheng was tall and slender, with picturesque features and a stern temperament. After he saluted Li Yong, he stood aside, looking calm and confident.

Su Mei and her sisters secretly observed Ye Gucheng and decided to start with his entourage to see if they could find some valuable clues.

At this time, a new person came to the palace - Liu Xu'er. Liu Xu'er was a woman of common origin. Because of her outstanding talent, she was selected into the palace to become a talented person. She had a gentle personality, but her eyes revealed a tenacity that made people look at her differently.

One day, Su Mei ran into Liu Xuer in the imperial garden, and took the initiative to greet her: "Hello, Talented Lady Liu, I am Liu Liangyuan."

Liu Xuer smiled back and bowed, "Sister Mei Liangyuan, I have long heard of your great name. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Su Mei smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, talented sister. Are you used to the life in the palace?"

Liu Xuer nodded: "Thank you for your concern, sister. Xuer feels that life in the palace is not bad, but there are some places that I am not familiar with. I hope to ask you for more advice."

Su Mei nodded: "Then let's find some time to have a good chat. I will do my best to help you adapt to life in the palace."

A few days later, Su Mei invited Liu Xuer to the small kitchen and personally prepared some delicious food for her. After tasting it, Liu Xuer praised it highly: "Sister Mei Liangyuan's cooking skills are really amazing. These dishes are delicious and really make people linger."

Su Mei smiled and said, "As long as Sister Cairen likes it. Actually, I have something else I want to talk to you about. I wonder if Sister Cairen is willing to listen?"

Liu Xuer nodded: "Of course I am willing, please go ahead, sister."

Su Mei told Liu Xuer about Ye Gucheng, hoping that she could join their camp and fight against the possible threat posed by Ye Gucheng.

After hearing this, Liu Xuer pondered for a moment and finally said, "Sister Mei Liangyuan, Xuer is willing to join you to investigate the truth about Ye Gucheng. Although I have just entered the palace, I am willing to do my part for the peace of the harem."

Su Mei showed a gratified smile: "Thank you, Sister Cairen. With your help, we will definitely be able to better protect the peace of the harem."

From that day on, Liu Xuer joined the camp of Su Mei, Lian Di, Li Lanxin and Zhao Yating, and they began to conduct a more in-depth investigation on Ye Gucheng. Liu Xuer's intelligence and wit provided them with many valuable clues, making their investigation much smoother.
