Princess Lily Arrives

As the King of Chu was cleared of his grievances, the palace temporarily returned to peace, but Guan Lili knew in her heart that this was only superficial peace. She, Ling Feng and Chu Yan continued to investigate, vowing to find all the hidden threats.

That day, Lily met a mysterious man in the Imperial Garden. He claimed to be the emperor's doctor, named Han Feng. Han Feng looked elegant and had deep eyes, giving people a mysterious feeling. He told Lily that there were some unusual movements in the palace recently, especially the suspicious behavior of some ministers.

"Princess, you have to be careful. The water in the palace is very complicated, and some things are not as simple as they seem." Han Feng said meaningfully.

Lily nodded. "Thank you for your reminder, Lord Han. I will pay attention to it."

At this time, Ling Feng suddenly appeared, looking nervous, "Princess, I have something urgent to discuss with you."

Lily followed him to a secluded place, and Ling Feng whispered, "We just received a secret report that someone intends to poison the emperor at tonight's palace banquet."

Lily was shocked. "This is terrible! We have to take action quickly."

They quickly made a plan and decided to secretly check all the food and drinks before the palace banquet. Lily entered the imperial kitchen on the pretext of participating in the banquet preparation. The chef in the imperial kitchen was a fat middle-aged man named Chef Wang. When he saw Lily, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Princess, what do you want me to do for you?"

Lily smiled and said, "Chef Wang, tonight's palace banquet is the highlight, I want to see how the preparations are going."

Chef Wang smiled widely, "Princess, please rest assured that tonight's dishes have been carefully prepared and will surely satisfy everyone."

Lily pretended to casually check each dish, paying attention secretly in her heart. She soon found a soup that looked ordinary, but the color of the soup was slightly abnormal. She immediately asked Ling Feng to fetch Han Feng, who nodded and confirmed that the soup was poisoned after a careful inspection.

"This poison is colorless and tasteless, but it is deadly." Han Feng said in a deep voice.

Lily calmed down and said, "We can't alert the enemy. We have to deal with this soup secretly and find the mastermind at the same time."

They quickly replaced the poisonous soup and secretly monitored the movements in the imperial kitchen. Sure enough, not long after, a figure sneaked into the imperial kitchen, as if looking for something. Lily and Ling Feng caught him and found that he was actually a young eunuch in the palace.

"Tell me! Who instructed you to poison?" Ling Feng asked sternly.

The young eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over, but under the coercion of Ling Feng, he finally revealed that the mastermind behind the scenes was a powerful official named Zhao De, who had always coveted the throne and had evil intentions.

Lily decided to strike while the iron was hot and immediately reported to the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered Zhao De to be arrested. Zhao De knew that his crime was exposed and tried to escape, but was intercepted by Ling Feng and the imperial guards and finally brought to justice.

"Thanks to Lily, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark." The emperor sighed, and his trust and reliance on Lily reached a new level.

The palace regained its brief peace, but Lily's life did not become dull. Her relationship with Li Mo continued to develop. Li Mo often accompanied her for walks, talked about poetry and philosophy, and their feelings gradually deepened during countless days and nights of communication.

One day, Li Mo brought a painting he had drawn, titled "Spring Beauty", and the woman in the painting was Lily. In the painting, she had a bright smile and fluttering clothes, as if she was in a sea of ​​flowers in spring.

"Princess, look, this is you in my heart." Li Mo said affectionately.

Lily smiled, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes, "Li Mo, you are so thoughtful. This painting is so beautiful."

But the good times didn't last long, and the disputes in the palace were far from over. One day, Han Feng found Lily and brought a shocking news, "Princess, Miss Chu Yan is missing."

Lily's heart tightened, and she immediately called Ling Feng and Han Feng to discuss countermeasures. They decided to start with the people Chu Yan usually came into contact with and check them one by one.

After some investigation, they found that Chu Yan was last seen in a small courtyard on the east side of the palace, where she met a mysterious person. Lily decided to go there in person to investigate and find out.

She, Ling Feng and Han Feng came to the small courtyard and found it unusually quiet, as if no one lived there. Suddenly, they heard a slight cry and followed the sound to find the kidnapped Chu Yan in the basement.

"Save me, Sister Lily!" Chu Yan shouted in horror, her eyes full of tears.

Lily quickly stepped forward and untied her ropes, "Don't be afraid, Yan'er, we are here."

Chu Yan cried and told the story. It turned out that she was captured by a spy around the emperor, who tried to threaten her to reveal the emperor's secrets. Lily decided to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out all the culprits behind it.

On the way back to the palace, Lily suddenly thought of a bold plan. She decided to play along and deliberately spread the word that Chu Yan already knew the identity of the mastermind in order to lure the snake out of its hole.

Sure enough, not long after, a mysterious man found Chu Yan and tried to kill her. Lily and Ling Feng had already set up a trap and captured him in one fell swoop. After interrogation, they learned that the mysterious man was actually a remnant of Zhao De, who was trying to make a comeback.

"It seems we still have a lot of work to do." Ling Feng said with a determined look on his face.

Lily smiled slightly, "That's right, but as long as we unite as one, nothing can defeat us."

They presented all the evidence to the emperor, who was furious again and ordered a thorough investigation of all those involved in the conspiracy. A group of corrupt officials were purged from the palace, and the situation gradually stabilized.

However, Lily understood that true peace required more efforts and wisdom, and she decided to continue to play her role in the palace and help the emperor govern the country, while also continuing to face future challenges with Li Mo, Ling Feng and others.

In the process, Lily gradually discovered that she was no longer just a white-collar worker who traveled from the modern era. She found new meaning and goals in her life in the ancient times. She was determined to use her positive energy and wisdom to change everything around her and create a better future.

As she believed in modern times: "There is always a rainbow after the storm." She believes that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as there is love in her heart, she can overcome everything.

All this has just begun. Lily's story continues...
