Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Yunxi's face was filled with anger, like a volcano about to erupt, she rushed towards Xiuzhen Palace with great momentum. Her steps were quick and powerful, and every step seemed to be stepping on the flames of anger.

"Ye Ling'er, did you deliberately design to frame me?" Yunxi stood still, staring at Ye Ling'er in front of him with a sharp gaze, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger and questioning.

However, Ye Ling'er at this moment was completely different from the past. She no longer looked that pitiful, fragile and sickly, but instead looked energetic and radiant.

"Yunxi, you're here? I heard that you fell into the water, are you injured?" Ye Cairen asked with pretended concern, his tone revealing false concern.

Yunxi's eyes were extremely cold, like a thousand-year-old ice. She stared at Ye Cairen, who looked like her, and she knew in her heart that all this was a conspiracy carefully planned by the other party.

"Stop pretending here!" Yunxi said gritting her teeth, her voice trembling slightly with anger.

Ye Cairen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer, and responded in a mocking tone: "Humph, it's all your fault for being so stupid that you trust others so easily."

Yunxi's heart suddenly burned with rage, and her eyes flashed with blazing flames, as if she wanted to burn the enemy in front of her to ashes.

"How could you be so cruel and vicious? Aren't you afraid that justice will prevail and you will be punished in the end?" Her voice trembled with extreme anger.

However, facing Yunxi's questioning, Ye Cairen did not show any fear. Instead, he laughed triumphantly: "As long as I can remove you, this stumbling block, I don't care what the price is! It's a pity that your luck is too good..."

"Do you really think you can defeat me like this? Aren't you worried about how the emperor will deal with you once he finds out about your vicious behavior?" Yunxi straightened his body and responded without flinching.

"Then let's wait and see!" Ye Cairen raised a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, left after leaving this sentence.

After coming out of Xiuzhen Palace, Yunxi's heart was filled with anger and determination. She gritted her teeth secretly and vowed to make Ye Cairen pay the price for her bad behavior.

Yunxi knew that in this deep palace full of intrigues and struggles, she could not solve the problem just by acting on impulse. So, she decided to be patient for the time being, hold back and wait for the right opportunity.

In the following days, Yunxi remained calm on the surface, as if nothing had happened. But secretly, she began to quietly collect evidence, preparing to give Ye Cairen a fatal counterattack.

The sun was particularly bright in the morning, and the breeze gently caressed her face, bringing a breath of fresh air. Yunxi went to the imperial kitchen to get breakfast as usual, but today she had one more thing in mind - waiting for Xiaocui, the palace maid beside Ye Cairen.

Yunxi stood quietly by the road, her eyes as sharp as an eagle's, scanning the surroundings. Finally, she saw the familiar figure walking towards her. As the distance got closer, Yunxi's eyes became more determined, as if she had made up her mind to uncover the truth.

As Xiaocui got closer, Yunxi stepped forward without hesitation and blocked her way. Her steps were steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable momentum.

"Xiao Cui, was it your master who ordered you to push me into this incident that day?" Yunxi asked sternly, straight to the point. Her voice was cold and majestic, making it impossible to avoid the question.

Xiao Cui wanted to deny it outright, but when she met Yunxi's sharp gaze, her heart was shaken and her body began to tremble. Her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound.

"Yang...Fu Mu Yang, spare me! I...I was forced to do this!" Xiao Cui stammered, her eyes full of fear and helplessness. She knew the possible consequences of her mistakes, and at this moment she could only pray that Yunxi would forgive her.

Seeing this, Yunxi knew in her heart that she had guessed correctly. She frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said, "Forget it, I can let this matter go, but from now on, if your master has any bad ideas again, you must tell me the first time, without any mistakes! This is not only to protect me, but also for your own sake. If you dare to disobey my orders again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although Yunxi's words were gentle, the threat contained in them made Xiaocui dare not be negligent in the slightest.

Her voice was firm and unquestionable, with an irresistible majesty.

After hearing this, Xiao Cui nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely do it.

Yunxi looked at her, nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left, leaving Xiaocui standing there lost in thought.

After Yunxi left, Xiao Cui felt uneasy and trembling like a frightened bird.

She realized that her master Ye might be in big trouble, but she also understood that if she didn't do as Yunxi asked, she would probably not be able to escape the blame.

With a heavy heart, Xiao Cui slowly returned to Xiuzhen Palace.

As soon as she saw Ye Cairen, she couldn't wait to tell her everything about her meeting with Yunxi.

After hearing this, Ye Cairen flew into a rage and cursed angrily:

"Idiot! How could you be scared by her so easily? Don't you know the status of my Ye family in the palace? Even Yunxi wouldn't dare to attack us easily. How can you stay in this palace if you are so timid?"

Xiao Cui was so scared that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Master, calm down. I know I was wrong. But Yunxi was so aggressive that I was really scared."

Ye Cairen snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Useless thing. But since Yunxi has come to our door, we can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to think of a way to deal with it."

Ye Cairen began to think as she spoke. She knew Yunxi was not someone to be trifled with. If she didn't handle the situation well, it would not only affect her position in the palace, but she might also lose the emperor's favor.

After careful consideration, Ye Cairen decided to send someone to find out Yunxi's background and purpose before thinking of a way to deal with it. At the same time, she also told Xiaocui to be careful and not to be caught by others.

Xiao Cui nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely obey her master's orders. However, her heart was still filled with worries...

However, facing Ye Cairen's scolding, Xiao Cui just lowered her head silently, not daring to respond. She knew very well that she had made a mistake, and she also understood that Ye Cairen was in a very dangerous situation.

At the same time, Yunxi was not idle. She sat quietly in front of the window, staring into the distance, her eyes firm and deep, as if she could penetrate time and space and see the truth of the matter. Her thoughts were surging like a tide, her heart filled with the pursuit of justice and anger towards the Ye family.

She knew that relying solely on Xiao Cui's testimony was far from enough to bring Ye to justice. If Ye was to receive the punishment she deserved, she had to find more irrefutable evidence that she could not deny.

Therefore, Yunxi made up her mind and began to carefully plan the next course of action. She wanted to thoroughly investigate Ye's past and not miss any tiny details, so as to deal a fatal blow to Ye at the critical moment.

Yunxi decided to find a breakthrough from Xiaocui, the personal maid of the Ye family. She was keenly aware that Xiaocui might know many unknown secrets of the Ye family.

So, she ordered Xiaowan, who was returning to the palace with her, to find a way to get close to Xiaocui, look for opportunities to talk to her, and gradually gain her trust.

After receiving the order, Xiaowan began to contact Xiaocui in a clever way and won her favor with her gentle and kind attitude.

As time went by, Xiaowan and Xiaocui's relationship became closer and closer. Xiaocui gradually let down her guard and began to confide some of her inner thoughts to Xiaowan.

At an inadvertent moment, Xiaowan accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiaocui holding a mysterious letter. Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xiaowan cleverly stole the letter while Xiaocui was distracted, and quickly handed it over to Yunxi.

When Yunxi gently opened the envelope, her eyes widened and her face was full of astonishment - it turned out that this was a secret letter between Ye and someone outside the palace! The words in the letter revealed a sinister and cunning atmosphere. It was obvious that they were carefully planning a shocking conspiracy.

Yunxi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She knew that this letter could be the most important evidence to reveal the true face of Ye. However, she knew that she must not act rashly, so as not to alert the enemy. So, she carefully hid the letter and pretended nothing happened.

In the following days, Yunxi quietly observed Ye's every word and action, trying to find more clues from her subtle movements. Every detail, every word and even every look became the key to solving the mystery.

At the same time, Ye Cairen seemed to have already seen through Yunxi's unusual behavior. She was thinking about how to strengthen her own defense measures so as to successfully prevent Yunxi from further investigating.

Yunxi knew very well that if she couldn't quickly find Ye Cairen's weakness, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, she was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and worried, but she always remained calm and composed.

She made full use of her network of contacts in the palace to inquire around and collect all kinds of information. Even if it was just a tiny clue, she would never let it go easily.

Finally one day, Yunxi accidentally learned an important piece of information: a grand and luxurious banquet was about to be held in the palace, and countless famous and powerful people were invited to attend.

This sudden news made Yunxi's eyes light up - she firmly believed that this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! So, she made a quick decision and made up her mind to use this banquet to find evidence of Ye Cairen's guilt.

On the night of the banquet, Yunxi disguised herself as a palace maid and sneaked into the banquet hall. She moved among the crowd, keeping an eye on Ye's actions. While Yunxi was looking for clues, she accidentally overheard a secret conversation between Ye and a minister.

"The plan is progressing smoothly. As long as we follow the steps, we will succeed soon..." Ye Cairen said proudly.

Yunxi's heart tightened, and she secretly felt lucky that she had discovered the secret in time. She was about to leave the banquet hall secretly, but at the moment she left, Ye Cairen spotted her figure, and a sly look flashed in his eyes.

Yunxi felt a chill coming from behind her, so she quickened her pace. Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder. Yunxi was startled and turned around, only to see Ye Cairen looking at her coldly.

"Okay, so it was you who was eavesdropping." Ye Cairen said gritting his teeth.

Yunxi calmed down and looked directly into Ye's eyes, "I just happened to pass by and heard something I shouldn't have heard."

"Coincidence?" Ye Cairen sneered, "I think you are here to cause trouble on purpose! Come, arrest her for me!"

With the guards' response, several figures quickly rushed towards Yunxi. Yunxi flexibly moved sideways, cleverly avoiding their attacks, and took the vase beside him and threw it at the guards without hesitation.

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly scattered and Yunxi took the opportunity to successfully escape.

She ran desperately, while her mind was rapidly thinking of countermeasures.

She knew very well that Ye Cairen would never let it go so easily, and they would definitely use all kinds of insidious and cunning means to deal with her.

Although she is now the prince's tutor, she does not actually have much real power.

At this moment, Yunxi's heart suddenly surged with a strong and deep feeling of nostalgia, making her involuntarily fall into memories of the past.

She closed her eyes, and her mind flashed back to the time when she was the emperor's favorite concubine. At that time, she was extremely beautiful, loved and respected by everyone, and her life was filled with endless glory and splendor.

However, as time went by, the cruel and ruthless reality lay before her, making her feel extremely frustrated and helpless.

She realized that she no longer had the status and power she once had, and facing Ye Cairen's conspiracy and scheming, she seemed so small and fragile.

After a long and difficult thinking, Yunxi finally made up his mind and decided to meet the emperor in person to thoroughly expose all of Ye Cairen's conspiracies and tricks!

She knew very well that this action might bring her great risks, but in order to protect herself and the Crown Prince, and to fight for a chance of fairness and justice, she made this decision without hesitation.

No matter what difficulties and obstacles await her in the future, Yunxi has already made full mental preparations...
