Princess Lily Arrives
Chapter 2: Life in the Royal Court Full of Dangers
While Guan Lili is adapting to her new identity in the palace, she and Ling Feng continue to secretly investigate the conspiracy in the palace. She deals with all kinds of people every day, and her life is busy and interesting, but there is always a trace of uneasiness in her heart.
That day, Lily decided to go to the Imperial Garden to relax, but unexpectedly met a mysterious person. The person was dressed in black and had a bamboo hat on his face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. He suddenly appeared in front of Lily, holding a bamboo scroll in his hand.
"Princess, please take a look." The man in black whispered, his voice steady and powerful.
Lily took the bamboo slip and opened it. There were some seemingly random words written on it, but she soon discovered that these words contained a mystery. It turned out that the bamboo slip recorded an ancient secret involving the royal bloodline and a lost treasure.
"What is this?" Lily asked, looking up, but the man in black had disappeared, leaving only a gust of wind blowing across her face.
While she was in a daze, Ling Feng suddenly appeared. It was obvious that he also knew everything that had just happened. "Princess, this bamboo slip is very important. We must be careful when dealing with it."
Lily nodded, put the bamboo slips away, and secretly decided to find out the truth. At night, she and Ling Feng secretly discussed in the study and decided to look for the treasure mentioned in the bamboo slips.
The next morning, Lily and Lingfeng disguised themselves as ordinary people, sneaked out of the palace, and began their treasure hunt. Along the way, Lily found that the ancient scenery was completely different from the modern one. Although the conditions were difficult, she enjoyed it.
"This is what life was like in ancient times!" Lily exclaimed, while Ling Feng smiled helplessly, "Princess, we have to find clues quickly, time is running out."
After several days of traveling, they finally came to a hidden cave. Deep in the cave was a secret room with many traps. The two worked together to crack many traps and finally found the entrance to the treasure behind a stone tablet.
"I didn't expect ancient treasures to be so hard to find. It's like the real-life version of Raiders of the Lost Ark." Lily couldn't help but complain.
Ling Feng was concentrating on checking the surroundings. "Be careful, Princess, there may be a trap here."
Just as they were about to enter the treasure, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out. "Hahaha, we finally got you!" A tall and mighty man appeared in front of them, wielding a sword that shone with cold light.
"Who are you?" Lily asked harshly, but she felt something was wrong.
The man sneered, "I am the confidant of the King of Chu, and I have been ordered to guard this treasure. You who overestimate your own abilities, don't even think about leaving alive today!"
Seeing that a fierce battle was inevitable, Ling Feng stood in front of Lily, ready to fight. The two fought fiercely, with swords flashing and sabers flying, fighting fiercely. Lily was frightened watching from the side, but she also secretly admired Ling Feng's superb martial arts.
When the battle was at a stalemate, Lily had an idea and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to hit him with a stone. The man felt pain, and Ling Feng seized the opportunity to defeat him with one move and subdued him.
"Are you okay?" Ling Feng asked with concern, beads of sweat on his forehead.
Lily nodded, "I'm fine. Let's go in and take a look at the treasure."
The two entered the secret room and found that there were indeed many treasures hidden inside, as well as some ancient documents. Lily flipped through some documents and was surprised to find that these documents mentioned a secret history of the royal family. It turned out that the King of Chu was the emperor's half-brother, and he had always intended to seize the throne.
"This is going to be a good show." Lily smiled bitterly, while Ling Feng's face was solemn, "We have to hurry back to the palace and hand over the evidence to the emperor."
After returning to the palace, Lili and Lingfeng presented the evidence to the emperor. The emperor was shocked and immediately ordered the arrest of the King of Chu. The palace was in a state of panic and everyone was in danger.
At the same time, the relationship between Lili and Li Mo is also developing slowly. Li Mo finds that Lili is not only beautiful but also intelligent. The two often walk in the garden, talk about poetry and songs, and have a mutual understanding.
"Princess, you are really unique." Li Mo looked at Lily affectionately.
Lily smiled, "You are also special, Li Mo. I am very happy to meet you here."
But she knew in her heart that this relationship was destined to go through ups and downs. The conspiracy in the palace was not over yet, and the danger still existed. She had to stay awake to protect herself and the people around her.
With the arrest of King Chu, the situation in the palace calmed down temporarily, but Lily knew that this was only the calm on the surface, and the real storm was still brewing. She decided to continue the investigation and find out the enemies hiding in the dark one by one.
One day, when Lili was walking in the palace, she suddenly heard a slight cry. She looked in the direction of the sound and found a little maid crying in a corner. Lili went forward to comfort her and found out that the little maid was named Xiao Cui. She was worried about being punished because she accidentally broke a valuable porcelain.
"It's okay, Xiao Cui, I will help you." Lily said gently, and then took Xiao Cui to see the steward in charge of palace affairs and explained everything to her.
Seeing that it was the princess herself who came, the steward did not dare to say anything, but only gently reprimanded Xiao Cui and let her go. Xiao Cui was so grateful that she became more loyal to Lily from then on.
Lily understood that there were too many innocent people in the palace who were just pawns involved in this power struggle, so she decided to use her influence to help these weak palace people as much as possible.
While she was busy with palace affairs, a mysterious figure appeared again. This time it was a young woman in gorgeous robes, claiming to be Chu Yan, the sister of the King of Chu. With a sad face, she asked Lili for help.
"Princess, my brother was wronged. He was actually framed." Chu Yan said with a sob.
Lily was shocked. Things seemed to be more complicated than she thought. She decided to cooperate with Chu Yan to find out the truth.
In the following days, Lily and Chu Yan secretly collected evidence and gradually discovered some secrets hidden deep inside. It turned out that the real mastermind behind the scenes was a favorite of the emperor, who had been secretly controlling everything and trying to control the entire court.
Lily, Ling Feng and Chu Yan designed a counterattack and finally successfully exposed the conspiracy. The emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of the favorite minister. The King of Chu was cleared of his grievances and regained his freedom.
After all this, Lily felt deeply the complexity and danger of court life, but she also strengthened her belief. She decided to continue to stay in the ancient times and use her wisdom and courage to protect the peace and justice of this land.
The relationship between her, Li Mo and Ling Feng has also been sublimated in this storm. No matter what the future holds, she will meet every challenge with a positive and optimistic attitude, because she knows that a true warrior will never back down.
