Princess Lily Arrives

Since Lily, Princess Xiao Li, Ye Ying and Zhang San returned from their adventure in Longtan, their reputation has spread inside and outside the palace. Everyone admires the courage and wisdom of these four young people. However, just as they were about to take a break, a new conspiracy was quietly brewing deep in the palace.

One day, Lily was walking in the garden when she heard a whisper coming from a dense bush of flowers. She approached gently and heard two strangers whispering.

"We must get the secret letter before they act, otherwise the entire plan will be exposed." said a low voice.

"Don't worry, I've made arrangements. We'll take action as soon as they're distracted," another voice replied.

Lily's heart tightened, realizing that things were not simple. She immediately turned around to find Xiao Li, Ye Ying and Zhang San, and told them what she had just heard.

"It looks like we have a new mission." Xiao Li rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement.

"But we have to be more careful this time. The person behind this conspiracy is obviously not simple." Ye Ying analyzed calmly.

"Let's find the secret letter first and see what they are planning." Lily decided decisively.

The four decided to act separately. Lily and Zhang San were responsible for continuing to look for clues in the garden, while Xiao Li and Ye Ying sneaked into the secret room in the palace to find the place where the secret letter might be hidden.

While searching the garden, Lily and Zhang San accidentally met a palace maid named Xiao Cui, who looked a little nervous and seemed to know something.

"Xiao Cui, do you know about the secret letter?" Lily asked gently.

Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I know something, but I dare not say it."

Zhang San smiled and patted Xiao Cui on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. As long as you tell us the truth, we will definitely protect you."

After being comforted by them, Xiao Cui finally spoke: "The secret letter is hidden in the rockery on the west side of the garden, but there is a trap there, so we must be careful."

Lily and Zhang San thanked Xiao Cui and quickly headed towards the rockery. As expected, they found a secret entrance on the rockery, but it was surrounded by traps. With her agility and wisdom, Lily successfully cracked the trap and entered the rockery.

At the same time, Xiao Li and Ye Ying found some suspicious documents in the secret room of the palace. The documents mentioned some mysterious names and places, which seemed to be related to the conspiracy they had just heard.

"These names and places look familiar, but I can't remember them right away." Xiao Li frowned.

"Don't worry, let's go back and meet up with Lily and the others, maybe we can piece together more clues." Yeying suggested.

When the four of them met in the garden, Lily found the secret letter from the rockery. The secret letter contained some shocking content: someone was trying to seize the throne by assassinating the emperor.

"This is a big deal. We must report it to the emperor immediately." Lily said seriously.

However, just as they were about to act, a familiar figure appeared in front of them. It turned out to be the eunuch Li, the chief eunuch!

"What are you doing here?" Eunuch Li asked gloomily.

"We have discovered a conspiracy and must report it to the emperor immediately." Lily answered without hesitation.

Eunuch Li's eyes flickered, and then he suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are indeed extraordinary people, but I will take care of this matter, you should go back."

The four of them looked at each other, full of doubts, but nodded in agreement. After returning to the room, they began to discuss their next plan.

"Eunuch Li doesn't look very trustworthy. We can't just let him go like this." Ye Ying said calmly.

"But we can't go directly to the emperor, as this would alert the enemy," Zhang San analyzed.

"Xiao Cui just mentioned that there is an old maid living in seclusion in the palace. She used to be the emperor's wet nurse and has a great influence on the emperor. We can go to her for help." Xiao Li suggested.

"Good idea, let's set off immediately." Lily decided.

They quietly came to the old maid's residence and told her the whole story. After listening, the old maid frowned deeply.

"This matter is of great importance. I will find an opportunity to report it to the emperor, but you must keep it secret." The old maid said seriously.

"Thank you, we will keep it a secret." Lily said gratefully.

That night, the old maid successfully found the emperor and told him the whole story. The emperor was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter and secretly protected the four people.

A few days later, a large-scale search operation was launched in the palace, and many people related to the conspiracy were arrested. Eunuch Li was among them and was revealed to be one of the masterminds behind the conspiracy.

“Thanks to your bravery and wisdom, a great disaster was prevented.” The emperor personally met with Lily, Princess Xiao Li, Ye Ying and Zhang San to express his gratitude.

"This is what we should do, Your Majesty," Lily said humbly.

"From now on, you are my confidants, and I will give you greater trust and responsibility," said the emperor.

The four looked at each other, their hearts filled with determination and confidence. They knew that there would be more challenges and adventures waiting for them in the future, but no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would face it together and protect the country together.
