Princess Lily Arrives

After the adventure in the misty forest, Lily and her team returned to the palace, feeling a little more relaxed. But doubts still remained in their hearts, and they could not ignore the greater conspiracy mentioned by the time and space messenger from the future.

Early that morning, Lily and Xiaofeng were drinking tea in the garden. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, the garden was filled with birdsong and flowers, and it was peaceful and tranquil. Chef Wang was busy in the kitchen preparing new gourmet creations to surprise everyone.

"I really hope we can have a few days of peace like this." Xiao Feng sighed, gently shaking the teacup in her hand.

"I hope so too, but I always feel that something else will happen." Lily looked at the sky in the distance, thoughtfully.

At this moment, a maid ran in with a folded note in her hand. The maid said breathlessly: "Princess, here is an anonymous note. Someone just sent it."

Lily took the note and unfolded it. It read: "Tonight at 11:00 p.m., Chang'an Teahouse, the truth is here."

"Another mysterious clue." Lily handed the note to Xiaofeng with a wry smile.

"It seems we have to go find out again." Xiao Feng shrugged helplessly.

That night, Lily and Xiaofeng quietly left the palace and went to the Chang'an Teahouse. The teahouse was one of the most lively places in the capital, with all kinds of people coming and going and brightly lit. As soon as they entered the teahouse, they were attracted by the lively scene inside.

"This is a really great place. Not only does it have good tea, but it also has a variety of snacks." Xiao Feng swallowed her saliva as she looked around.

Lily smiled and patted her shoulder. "Don't think about eating yet. We have something important to do."

They found a corner to sit down, ordered some tea and snacks, and began to observe their surroundings. There were all kinds of people in the teahouse, including vendors, scholars, and some people who looked like chivalrous knights. While they were observing, a man in gorgeous clothes came over and sat opposite them.

"Princess, Miss Xiaofeng, I have long heard of your name." The man said with a smile.

Lily and Xiaofeng looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts. Who is this man? How does he know their identities?

"Who are you? Why do you know we are here?" Lily asked warily.

The man smiled softly and whispered, "I am the steward of the Donglin Palace. My master wants to ask the princess for help with something."

"Donglin Palace?" Lily frowned. "Who is your master? Why did he ask me for help?"

The man did not answer directly, but handed Lily an exquisite invitation. "Tomorrow at noon, at the Donglin Palace, the master will personally receive the princess."

Lily took the invitation, her doubts deepening. "Okay, I'll go."

The man smiled and left. Xiao Feng said excitedly, "Princess, this time we are going to see the elegance of the Donglin Palace!"

"I hope it's not a trap." Lily whispered, but she was mentally prepared for anything.

The next day at noon, Lily and Xiaofeng arrived at the Donglin Palace. There were two rows of guards standing at the entrance of the palace, which was magnificent. The housekeeper came out to greet them personally and took them into a magnificently decorated hall.

In the hall, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe was sitting in the main seat. When he saw Lily coming in, he immediately stood up to greet her. "Welcome, Princess. I am the King of Donglin."

"King Donglin?" Lily was a little surprised. "What do you want to see me about?"

Prince Donglin smiled and said, "Princess, please take a seat. I have an important secret to tell you."

Lily and Xiaofeng sat down, and King Donglin waved his hand. Several maids brought fragrant tea and exquisite snacks. King Donglin said, "Princess, have you ever heard of the 'Heavenly Secret Map'?"

"Heavenly Secret Map?" Lily asked doubtfully, "What is that?"

King Donglin nodded. "Legend has it that the Heavenly Secret Map is a mysterious scroll that can predict the future. Only people with true wisdom can decipher its mysteries."

"What does that have to do with us?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

"Recently I received news that part of the Tianjitu may be hidden in the capital, and this may be related to the time and space chaos that you, Princess, experienced before." King Donglin explained.

Lily's mind moved, "So, we need to find the Heaven's Secret Map to solve all the mysteries?"

"That's right," Prince Donglin nodded, "I am willing to help the princess find clues to the Heavenly Secret Map, but this requires our joint efforts."

"Okay, let's cooperate." Lily said firmly.

In the next few days, Lily and her team, with the help of King Donglin, began to search for the Tianjitu. They rushed to every corner of the capital, looking for any possible clues.

One day, they came to an ancient temple. The abbot of the temple was an old monk who was said to know some secrets about the Tianjitu. Lili and King Donglin went to see the old monk together.

"Old monk, we heard that you know something about the Tianjitu." King Donglin said respectfully.

The old monk smiled and nodded. "The Heavenly Secret Map does exist, but its secret is not so easy to uncover."

"Please give me some advice." Lily pleaded.

The old monk closed his eyes, chanted a passage of scripture in a low voice, and then slowly said: "The secret of the Heavenly Secret Map is hidden in a forgotten valley. In that valley there is an ancient stone tablet, on which is engraved the key to unlocking the Heavenly Secret Map."

Lily's heart moved, knowing that this time they were one step closer to the truth. "Thank you, old monk. We will go find the stone tablet."

The old monk smiled and nodded, "May the Buddha bless you."

After leaving the temple, Lily and King Donglin led the team to the forgotten valley. In the valley, they found the ancient stone tablet. The stone tablet was engraved with strange runes, which seemed to tell ancient secrets.

Lily studied the runes on the stone tablet carefully, and suddenly felt a strong force coming from the stone tablet. She knew that this was the secret of the Tianjitu.

"We must unlock the secret of these runes," Lily said firmly.

As they were working to unlock the runes, a group of men in black suddenly appeared and tried to stop them. Lily and her team quickly took a defensive stance and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

In the battle, Lily relied on her wisdom and courage to finally crack the runes on the stone tablet. A dazzling light shot out from the stone tablet, illuminating the entire valley.

"This is the secret of the Tianjitu." Lily exclaimed.

As the light faded, a mysterious scroll emerged from the stone tablet. Lily knew that they were one step closer to the truth.

However, this adventure is just the beginning. There are more challenges waiting for them in the future. And Lily will, as always, welcome every new adventure and protect the balance and peace of time and space.
