Princess Lily Arrives
Chapter 40: Palace Adventure: Sneaking into the Palace
Since the Dream Granny solved the mystery of Lily's dream, life in the palace seemed to have returned to peace. However, Lily knew that behind the peace there were often more storms. One day, Lily was walking in the palace garden when she suddenly found a pigeon landing on her windowsill. There was a small roll of parchment tied to the pigeon's feet. Lily opened it and found that it was a letter for help from outside the city.
The letter mentioned that an ordinary citizen named Zhang San was being unfairly treated because he was falsely accused of theft and was now imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial palace. Lily felt pity for him and decided to investigate the matter herself.
Lily summoned Xiao Li and Ye Ying to explore the dungeon together. Xiao Li looked excited: "Princess, can we play the role of knights and sneak into the dungeon to save people this time?"
Night Shadow calmly reminded: "Sneaking into a dungeon is no joke, we must proceed with caution."
In order not to arouse suspicion, they decided to act at night. As the sky gradually darkened, Lily changed into a simple nightgown, took Xiao Li and Ye Ying with her, and quietly sneaked into the underground passage of the palace.
The passage was dark and damp, with a few flickering torches hanging on the wall, and the air was filled with a stale smell. The three of them moved forward cautiously with the weak light of the torch.
"Yeying, are you sure this is the way to the dungeon?" Xiao Li couldn't help but ask.
Yeying nodded: "According to my previous exploration, this should be a shortcut to the dungeon."
Sure enough, not long after, they saw the dungeon door. Two guards stood at the door with serious expressions. Lily suddenly had an idea and took out some sleeping pills and quietly sprinkled them in the guards' drinking water.
After a few minutes, the guard began to doze off and eventually fell asleep. Lily carefully pushed open the dungeon door and the three of them quickly entered.
The dungeon was dark and damp, and the prisoners huddled in their cells. Lily found Zhang San in a corner, his face was exhausted, but there was still hope in his eyes.
"Are you Zhang San?" Lily asked softly.
Zhang San nodded: "Yes, Princess, I am so grateful that you can come to save me."
Lily smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we will help you clear your name."
Just as they were about to leave the dungeon, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Lily's heart tightened, knowing that there might be trouble. She quickly pulled Zhang San and his friends into a corner.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lily held her breath and saw a figure through the cracks in the cell. The man was holding a torch. It was the Dream Stealer!
"How dare you trespass into my territory again!" The Dream Stealer's voice was cold and threatening.
Xiao Li couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Why is this guy haunting us?"
The Dream Stealer seemed to have heard something, and suddenly turned around, scanning the surroundings like an eagle. Lily's heart tightened, and she quickly took out a smoke bomb and threw it in the direction of the Dream Stealer. The smoke spread, and the Dream Stealer was dazzled by the smoke, coughing everywhere.
"Run!" Lily gave an order, and the three of them quickly rushed out of the dungeon and ran towards the exit of the passage.
However, just halfway through the run, they found a group of guards coming up ahead. Lily saw that she could not escape, so she took out a gold medal from her sleeve and shouted loudly: "The emperor's secret order, emergency exit!"
When the guards saw the gold medal, they were stunned and did not dare to step forward to stop them. Lily led Xiao Li and Zhang San through quickly and headed straight out of the palace.
When they finally arrived safely at the secret base outside the city, Zhang San said to Lily with gratitude: "Princess, I will never forget your kindness."
Lily waved her hand: "This is what I should do. Now, we have to find a way to prove your innocence."
As they were discussing their next plan, an unexpected voice came: "Your Highness, I want to help, too."
They turned around and saw that it was Granny Meng. Granny Meng came forward with a smile and said mysteriously, "I had a premonition that you would be in trouble, so I came here specially."
Granny Meng brought some evidence that Zhang San was indeed wrongly accused, and Lily and her friends decided to use the evidence to publicly expose the truth.
The next day, they sneaked into the Imperial Palace and arrived just in time for the Emperor's morning court session. Lily stepped forward boldly and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have important evidence to present."
The ministers were in an uproar, and the emperor frowned slightly: "What is so urgent?"
Lily presented the evidence and explained in detail how Zhang San was wrongly accused. After carefully examining the evidence, the emperor's face gradually became heavy, and he finally ordered a retrial of the case. The truth was revealed, and Zhang San was finally vindicated.
Afterwards, Lily, Xiao Li, Ye Ying and Granny Meng gathered in the palace garden. Granny Meng smiled and said to Lily: "You are not only smart and brave, but also know how to use the power of the team. This is a true leader."
Lily smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your help, Granny Meng. I know the road ahead is still long, but I will continue to work hard to protect justice and fairness."
Xiao Li scratched his head and joked, "Princess, your adventure this time is more exciting than the dramas we usually watch. It really opened my eyes!"
Yeying nodded in agreement: "That's right, this time we not only saved people, but also revealed the truth. It's a win-win situation."
Granny Meng smiled mysteriously and said, "There will be more adventures in the future. You must always stay alert and wise."
As the sun sets, Lily and her friends chat in the garden, enjoying the rare quiet time. Although the future is full of uncertainty, they know that as long as they unite, no difficulties can stop them from moving forward.
