Ah, you traveled through time too?

As the conspiracy of the Southern Xinjiang spies was exposed, the palace temporarily returned to peace. But under this calm surface, a new conspiracy was quietly brewing. Su Mei, Lian Di, Li Lanxin, Zhao Yating and Liu Xuer all knew that the struggle for power never stopped, and they needed to be more cautious in order to protect themselves and their loved ones.

One day, Su Mei met a new concubine in the palace, named Chu Yuner. Chu Yuner was born in a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan. She was very smart and beautiful. Soon after she was selected into the palace, she attracted the attention of Li Yong.

Su Mei became curious about Chu Yun'er and approached her to learn about her background. Chu Yun'er was very friendly to Su Mei and seemed to have no guard. The two quickly became friends, and Su Mei gradually learned the secrets hidden behind Chu Yun'er.

One day, Su Mei was chatting with Chu Yun'er in the Imperial Garden and asked tentatively, "Sister Yun'er, have you adapted well since entering the palace?"

Chu Yuner smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, sister. Yuner feels that everything is fine, but sometimes I miss my hometown."

Su Mei nodded: "It does take time to adapt to life in the palace, but if you need any help, just tell me."

Chu Yuner said gratefully: "Thank you, sister. I feel much more at ease with you around."

Su Mei felt that Chu Yun'er seemed to have something to say but was hesitant, so she continued to gently enlighten her: "Sister Yun'er, I have always thought that you are very smart. If you have any worries, you might as well share them with me. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Chu Yuner hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Sister, actually I have always had a wish, which is to do something for the elders and folks in my hometown, but I don't know how to realize it."

Su Mei smiled and said, "Sister Yun'er, your kindness is very rare. If you need anything, I am willing to work with you to find a solution."

Chu Yuner said with emotion: "Thank you, sister. I will think about it carefully."

In the next few days, Su Mei secretly observed Chu Yun'er's behavior and found that she often contacted some eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and seemed to be secretly planning something. Su Mei decided to follow up to see what Chu Yun'er was planning.

One night, Su Mei followed Chu Yun'er under the pretext of inspecting the palace and found that she had entered a secret room. Su Mei approached the room quietly and heard the conversation inside.

"Miss Yun'er, we have prepared everything and are just waiting for your order." A eunuch said in a low voice.

Chu Yun'er's voice sounded calm and firm: "Very good, be sure to be careful and don't let anyone notice."

Su Mei's heart trembled, she realized that Chu Yun'er was planning a big conspiracy. She decided not to alert the enemy for the time being and continue to collect more evidence.

A few days later, Su Mei called Lian Di, Li Lan Xin, Zhao Yating and Liu Xu Er together and reported what she had discovered to them. They all decided to secretly monitor Chu Yun Er to see what she was planning.

In a series of secret operations, they gradually discovered that Chu Yuner's plan was to transport the treasures in the palace to Jiangnan through some secret channels to support the rebels there. This plan was extremely complicated and involved many key figures and channels in the palace.

Su Mei decided to meet Li Yong in person, tell him the news, and make a detailed response plan. However, in order not to alarm Chu Yuner, they decided to take a more covert approach to the investigation and action.

One day, Su Mei reported Chu Yuner's conspiracy in detail in the imperial study. After hearing this, Li Yong's face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Chu Yuner dared to plot such a conspiracy in my palace, I will never let her off easily!"

Su Mei advised: "Your Majesty, we need to investigate further to ensure that the evidence is solid and not to alert the enemy."

Li Yong nodded: "Mei'er is right, we must act carefully and make sure no one notices."

In the next few days, Su Mei and her sisters closely monitored Chu Yuner's actions and found that her plan was gradually being implemented. They decided to adopt a step-by-step nibbling strategy to gradually disintegrate Chu Yuner's network.

They first started with Chu Yun'er's confidants, gained their trust through various means, and gradually obtained more intelligence. As the investigation deepened, they found that Chu Yun'er's plan was not only to support the rebels, but also had a greater ambition - she wanted to use the rebels to overthrow Li Yong and establish her own power.

Su Mei realized that she had to expose Chu Yun'er's conspiracy before she could act. They decided to plan a counter-espionage plan to make Chu Yun'er contradict herself and reveal her true intentions.

One day, Su Mei pretended to chat with Chu Yun'er and deliberately revealed some false information: "Sister Yun'er, I heard that the emperor has been very concerned about the situation in Jiangnan recently and has sent many spies to investigate."

Chu Yun'er's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure: "Really? Sister, the situation in Jiangnan is indeed a bit complicated, and it is reasonable for the emperor to pay more attention to it."

Su Mei continued, "Yes, I heard that the emperor is planning to send troops to suppress it, hoping to quell the unrest there as soon as possible."

Chu Yun'er's face turned pale, and she obviously realized that her plan might be discovered. Su Mei was secretly proud, knowing that her words had worked.

A few days later, Chu Yuner really started to take action. She urgently summoned her confidants to try to speed up the progress of the plan. However, Su Mei and her sisters had already made preparations and they closely monitored Chu Yuner's every move.

On a dark and windy night, Chu Yun'er's confidants quietly loaded the palace treasures into a car and prepared to transport them to Jiangnan. Su Mei and her sisters had already ambushed nearby, and when they took action, they immediately launched an action and captured these confidants one by one.

Chu Yun'er was panicked when she learned that the operation had failed, and she tried to flee the palace, but was intercepted by the imperial guards led by Li Yong himself. In the end, Chu Yun'er was brought before Li Yong, and her conspiracy was completely exposed.

Li Yong looked at Chu Yun'er coldly and asked, "Chu Yun'er, why did you betray me? Who is supporting you behind the scenes?"

Chu Yun'er knew that she had no way to escape, so she sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I wanted to do something for the folks in my hometown, but your rule has made them miserable. I just want to change all this."

Li Yong said angrily: "You used the treasures in the palace to try to overthrow my rule. Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

Chu Yuner sneered: "Your Majesty, you can kill me, but my ambition will not die. One day, someone will stand up and overthrow your rule."

Li Yong waved his hand and took Chu Yun'er to the prison to await trial. He looked at Su Mei and said with emotion: "Mei'er, this time it's all thanks to you and the sisters, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."

Su Mei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am just doing my duty. As long as I can protect the peace of you and the court, I am willing to give everything."

Li Yong nodded: "I will always remember your efforts."
