Princess Lily Arrives

The palace returned to peace, but Lily did not dare to let her guard down. She knew that the power struggle was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark and could come back at any time.

One day, Lily, Xiao Li, Zhang San and Ye Ying were walking in the Jinxiu Garden. This garden is the most beautiful place in the palace, with flowers blooming all year round and fragrant, and it is the favorite leisure place for the palace people. However, today the garden seems particularly deserted, as if hiding some secrets.

"Why did this garden suddenly become so quiet?" Xiao Li said puzzledly.

Zhang San shrugged: "Maybe everyone is busy with other things, after all, so many things happened in the past few days."

Yeying looked around vigilantly and whispered, "We'd better be careful. I always feel like something is going to happen recently."

Just as they were about to leave, a woman in white suddenly appeared. She had a graceful figure and a pretty face, but her eyes were filled with mystery and sadness. Lily recognized her as a new maid in the palace, named Liu Xuer.

"Miss Liuxu, why are you here?" Lily asked.

Liu Xuer smiled slightly and replied, "I came here to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?" Yeying asked vigilantly.

Liu Xuer looked around and confirmed that no one was around before she whispered, "I know some secrets about the Black Shadow Society, but I need your help."

Lily and the others were immediately cheered up when they heard this. They took Liu Xuer to a secluded place and listened to her patiently.

It turns out that Liu Xu'er's father was once a member of the Black Shadow Society, but later he decided to leave the organization because of his conscience. Unexpectedly, he was hunted down by the Black Shadow Society. Before his death, Liu Xu'er's father gave her important information about the Black Shadow Society, hoping that she could find a righteous person and expose the conspiracy of the Black Shadow Society.

"I know that you are the people most trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, so I decided to hand over this information to you." Liu Xuer said with tears in her eyes.

Lily held her hand and said firmly, "We will definitely expose the true face of the Black Shadow Society and bring justice to everyone."

According to the information provided by Liu Xuer, Lily and others discovered that the Black Shadow Society's base was hidden in an abandoned temple. In order not to alert the enemy, they decided to split into two groups, one led by Ye Ying and Zhang San to monitor, and the other led by Lily and Xiao Li to sneak in to investigate.

At night, Lily and Xiao Li sneaked into the abandoned temple and found that there were indeed many members of the Black Shadow Society. They carefully hid in the dark and eavesdropped on their conversations.

"The action plan has been finalized. We will start tomorrow." said a man who was obviously the leader.

"Yes, tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, and the palace will definitely relax. Our chance has come." Another person responded.

Lily and Xiao Li looked at each other and were startled. They immediately returned and told Ye Ying and Zhang San the information. The four decided to return to the palace immediately and inform the emperor to take precautions.

However, just as they were about to leave, Liu Xuer suddenly appeared and said in a panic, "Oh no! I just heard someone say that the Black Shadow Society has sent people to sneak into the palace and plan to assassinate the emperor on his birthday!"

"What?!" Lily and the others were horrified and immediately quickened their pace.

After returning to the palace, they immediately found the emperor and reported all the information to him. After hearing this, the emperor's face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered to strengthen the guard and set up a clever trap to catch the Black Shadow Society in one fell swoop.

The next day, the emperor's birthday was held as scheduled, with lanterns and colorful decorations in the palace and many guests gathered. However, no one knew that a thrilling contest was about to begin.

When the birthday banquet was halfway through, there was a sudden commotion, and several assassins from the Black Shadow Society rushed into the hall, attempting to assassinate the emperor. Lily and Ye Ying were well prepared and immediately fought, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

In the fierce fight, Lily and Yeying showed great courage, and they teamed up to repel several assassins. However, one of the assassins was very skilled and fought with Yeying.

"Who are you?" Ye Ying asked sternly.

The man sneered and took off his mask, revealing to be Liu Xuer.

"Liu Xuer?! How could it be you!" Lily shouted in shock.

Liu Xuer said expressionlessly: "Yes, I am the real leader of the Black Shadow Society. Do you think you can catch us easily? You are too naive."

It turns out that Liu Xuer had planned all this long ago. She used false information to lure Lily and others into her trap. The real assassination plan was actually launched at the last moment of the emperor's birthday, not earlier as they thought.

However, Lily was not defeated. She quickly calmed down and fought back with Yeying. Together, the two of them forced Liu Xuer into a desperate situation.

"Liu Xuer, don't you have any conscience at all?" Lily asked.

Liu Xuer sneered: "Conscience? In this world of power, conscience will only make you die faster."

At this time, Xiao Li and Zhang San arrived with a large number of guards and surrounded Liu Xuer. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Xuer's eyes flashed with despair, but she did not intend to give up easily.

"Do you think you can catch me like this?" Liu Xuer laughed and suddenly took out a poison pill from her sleeve and prepared to swallow it.

However, Ye Ying was quick-witted and snatched the poison and subdued Liu Xuer.

"Liu Xuer, you have no way to escape, so just surrender." Ye Ying said coldly.

Liu Xuer was taken away by the guards, and a severe trial was waiting for her. Lily and others could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as they had successfully thwarted the conspiracy of the Black Shadow Society and saved the emperor's life.

The emperor greatly admired the bravery and wisdom of Lili and others, bestowed them with generous rewards, and appointed them as important officials in the palace to help govern the country.

Although this crisis has passed, Lily knows that this is just the beginning. In this world full of conspiracy and power struggle, they must always remain vigilant and meet more challenges.
