Princess Lily Arrives
Chapter 44: The Trick on the Platform
Since capturing the shadow and uncovering part of its conspiracy, Lily and her friends have found themselves at the center of a bigger storm. The real mastermind has not yet appeared, and the emperor and everyone else are still on high alert. The atmosphere inside and outside the palace is becoming increasingly tense, and Lily and her friends decide to continue their investigation and vow to find out the truth.
In order not to alert the enemy, the four decided to keep a low profile. They observed in secret and began to investigate the high-ranking officials in the palace in the hope of finding more clues. At this time, a new supporting role appeared - the new guard beside the prince, named Wu Xiaosi. He was young, but very smart, and often gave advice to the prince.
One day, Lily and Yeying ran into Wu Xiaosi in the palace and saw him talking to a mysterious man in the garden. Lily was suspicious and decided to follow them.
"It looks like this Wu Xiaosi is up to something. We have to follow him and see for ourselves." Lily whispered to Yeying.
Ye Ying nodded, and the two carefully followed Wu Xiaosi and the mysterious man, and found that they entered a hidden hut. Lily lay by the window, secretly observing the movements in the house.
Wu Xiaosi and the mysterious man were arguing fiercely. Wu Xiaosi was very excited and waved his arms from time to time. Lily listened carefully and heard Wu Xiaosi say, "If we continue like this, we will all be discovered! We must take action as soon as possible!"
The mysterious man smiled coldly: "Don't worry, everything is under control. When the time is right, we will be able to completely overturn everything now."
Lily was shocked and knew that this was no small matter. She and Yeying decided to go back and inform Xiao Li and Zhang San immediately. After returning to their residence, the four of them held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
"It seems that Wu Xiaosi and that mysterious man have a big conspiracy. We must expose them quickly." Zhang San said indignantly.
"But there is insufficient evidence now. We need more clues." Xiao Li analyzed calmly.
Ye Ying proposed a bold plan: "Since they are plotting to overthrow us, why don't we take advantage of their tactic and set a trap for them to fall into."
After some discussion, the four decided to use the emperor's power to lure the snake out of its hole. They asked the emperor to arrange a large palace banquet and invite all high-ranking officials to attend. At the same time, they strengthened the vigilance and secretly laid a dragnet.
On the day of the banquet, the palace was decorated with lights and was bustling. Lily and her friends secretly observed everyone's actions, especially Wu Xiaosi and his mysterious accomplice.
Suddenly, halfway through the banquet, a team of guards rushed in and reported that a large number of assassins had sneaked into the palace. The emperor was furious and ordered the guards to arrest the assassins immediately. Lily knew that the real mastermind behind the scenes would definitely take action in this chaos.
Sure enough, in the chaos, Wu Xiaosi and the mysterious man quietly left the banquet and ran towards the emperor's bedroom. Lily and Yeying immediately followed and notified Zhang San and Xiao Li to get ready.
Outside the emperor's bedroom, the four successfully intercepted Wu Xiaosi and the mysterious man. Facing the questioning of Lily and others, Wu Xiaosi sneered: "You are too naive, do you think you can stop us like this?"
The mysterious man took out a dagger and prepared to fight with Lily and others. However, the ambushes that the emperor had arranged rushed out from all directions and surrounded Wu Xiaosi and the mysterious man.
"You have no way to escape, so just confess." Ye Ying said coldly.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Wu Xiaosi had no choice but to admit his guilt. He confessed that the mastermind behind the plot was actually a highly respected minister in the palace, Lord Li. It turned out that Lord Li had always been dissatisfied with the emperor and wanted to realize his ambition by supporting the crown prince to ascend to the throne.
"Lord Li appears to be loyal on the surface, but he has been plotting this conspiracy in secret," said Wu Xiaosi.
The emperor was shocked and immediately ordered the arrest of Lord Li. Lord Li tried to escape when he saw that the truth had been revealed, but was eventually arrested. He faced the emperor and sneered, "Your Majesty, do you think you can rest easy like this? There is no eternal imperial power in the world. One day, someone will replace you!"
After hearing this, the emperor had a complicated expression, but he finally ordered Lord Li to be detained and await trial.
The crisis in the palace was temporarily resolved, but Lily and others knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg. They decided to stay in the palace and help the emperor completely eliminate all potential threats.
Not long after, in order to reward Lily and others for their loyalty and wisdom, the emperor bestowed them generous rewards and appointed Ye Ying as the chief guard of the palace. Xiao Li and Zhang San became the emperor's right-hand men, assisting in handling state affairs.
Although everything seemed peaceful on the surface, Lily always had an uneasy feeling in her heart. She knew that there must be a deeper conspiracy behind this, and they must always be vigilant.
One day, Lily met a maid named A Zi in the garden. A Zi claimed to know some secrets about Lord Li and was willing to help Lily uncover more of the truth.
"Miss A Zi, why do you want to help us?" Lily asked.
"Because I used to be Lord Li's maid, and I witnessed his conspiracy with my own eyes, but I couldn't tolerate such betrayal, so I decided to stand up and expose him." A Zi said.
Lily decided to trust A Zi and cooperate with her to continue to track down the forces behind Lord Li. With the help of A Zi, Lily and others gradually discovered that there was a larger secret organization behind Lord Li - the "Black Shadow Society". This organization not only has a large number of spies in the palace, but also has a strong force outside the court.
Lily and others realized that the struggle was far from over. In order to completely eradicate the Black Shadow Society, they decided to go deep into the tiger's den and start a life-and-death battle with this mysterious organization.
In the battle with the Black Shadow Society, Lily and her companions encountered various dangers and challenges, but they relied on their wisdom and courage to overcome dangers again and again. They uncovered the conspiracy of the Black Shadow Society, destroyed its base in the palace, and gradually approached its core.
Eventually, Lily and the others discovered that the real leader of the Black Shadow Society was someone they had never suspected - a close attendant of the emperor named Wang Daoyuan. Wang Daoyuan had been extremely clever in disguise, deeply trusted by the emperor, and used his position to secretly control everything.
"Wang Daoyuan, your true face is finally exposed!" Lily said angrily.
Wang Daoyuan sneered: "Do you think you can stop me like this? As long as I give the order, the entire palace will fall into chaos!"
Just as Wang Daoyuan was about to launch the final attack, the emperor suddenly appeared and personally led a large number of guards to surround him.
"Wang Daoyuan, I have already seen through your disguise. Today is your doomsday!" the emperor said coldly.
Wang Daoyuan realized that the situation was hopeless and looked at the emperor in despair, and was eventually arrested.
With Wang Daoyuan's capture, the Black Shadow Society's conspiracy was finally completely disintegrated. Peace returned to the palace, and the emperor greatly appreciated the loyalty and wisdom of Lily and others, granting them higher honors and status.
However, Lily did not relax at all. She knew that there would never be true peace in this vortex of power. She decided to stay in the palace to protect the emperor and the country and meet more challenges in the future.
