Bringing love across time and space

In the gentle light of the early morning, Lin Qingya put on an invisibility charm and took a teleportation pill.

He arrived at the palace where Liu Yuhan lived early.

At the horizon, a touch of light blue gradually turns golden, as if it is the most delicate brushstroke of nature.

Vivid pictures are slowly sketched out in the quiet air.

That day, she was filled with anxiety and anticipation, because Liu Yuhan had news that she urgently wanted to know.

Emperor Yuan Jin has been trapped by the concubines in the harem recently.

He had to adopt a stopgap measure - taking turns to favor the concubines in each palace in order to achieve temporary peace in the harem.

In the past, his love for Liu Yuhan was as warm and blazing as the spring sun.

But now, in order to balance the power of the harem and prevent the concubines from frequently complaining to the Queen Mother because of their competition for favor,

As a result, he had to endure the nagging and reproaches of the Queen Mother every day, and Emperor Yuan Jin had to temporarily ignore Liu Yuhan.

However, he secretly sent a lot of good things to Liu Yuhan.

Although this decision was not intentional, it was a helpless one.

For Liu Yuhan, Emperor Yuan Jin's estrangement was actually a relief.

She knew very well that in this deep palace, the game of power was far more complicated and changeable than love.

Instead of getting involved in meaningless fights, it is better to use this time to find the evidence that Lin Qingya needs.

So, when Lin Qingya stepped into Liu Yuhan's carefully decorated bedroom,

What greeted her was not only the fragrance in the room, but also Liu Yuhan's eyes sparkling with wisdom.

"Master, I found out something about the Queen Mother." Liu Yuhan's voice was low and mysterious.

It seems that every word carries a secret weighing thousands of pounds.

She walked slowly closer, holding a thick roll of paper tightly in her hand, which was the result of her hard investigation over the past few days.

Lin Qingya's heart tightened when she heard this. She knew that what Liu Yuhan mentioned was

It must be related to the "stealing a dragon and switching a phoenix" incident in the harem of the Queen Mother.

But what made her even more curious was what other unknown secrets Liu Yuhan had discovered?

"Last time you said that the Queen Mother told you and the prince that she only mentioned that the child was switched, but she was very secretive about whether she had an affair with someone."

As Liu Yuhan spoke, she gently unfolded the paper in her hand. It was a detailed investigation report.

It records every detail about the Queen Mother's past and how she built up her authoritative position in the harem step by step.

"Not only did I find clues that the Queen Mother was having an affair, I also accidentally discovered the whereabouts of Hong Xiu, the Queen Mother's chief maid."

There was a barely perceptible hint of excitement in Liu Yuhan's voice.

It turned out that soon after Emperor Yuan Jin ascended the throne, Hong Xiu was secretly imprisoned in a dungeon by the Queen Mother.

This dungeon was secretly built by the Empress Dowager for some unknown purpose when Emperor Yuanjin just ascended the throne.

"Hongxiu? Where is she being held?" Lin Qingya asked anxiously.

She knew very well that Hongxiu, as the closest person to the Queen Mother, must know many secrets about her.

Liu Yuhan took out an exquisite blueprint from her sleeve.

The location of the dungeon and the route to enter are marked in detail.

"This is the dungeon map that I had someone secretly draw. The dungeon is hidden in the deepest part of the Queen Mother's bedroom, a place that is difficult for ordinary people to detect."

Her fingers gently traced the lines on the drawing, finally stopping at one spot.

However, Liu Yuhan still hasn't figured out why Hong Xiu was imprisoned by the Queen Mother.

She guessed that this might be related to the Queen Mother's affair in the past, but the specific details needed further investigation.

"Right now, I can't act rashly. After all, the Queen Mother's position in the harem is deeply rooted. If I alert her, the consequences will be disastrous."

A trace of worry flashed across Liu Yuhan's eyes.

Lin Qingya nodded when she heard this. She understood that in this deep palace, every step had to be taken with caution.

She decided to send Han Tai first to confirm whether Hong Xiu was really in the dungeon and what her condition was.

Han Tai is now her most capable assistant in Dayan.

"I will have Han Tai secretly go to the dungeon in the next two days to check on Hong Xiu's condition."

Lin Qingya's voice was firm and calm. She knew very well that although this step was risky, it was the key to uncovering the Queen Mother's secret.

Liu Yuhan also told Lin Qingya that the Princess of the Western Regions had been acting a little strange during this period.

Liu Yuhan heard from a minister that he saw the Princess of the Western Regions riding in a carriage at the back door of Prince Yao's Mansion twice at night!

If my guess is correct, King Yao and the Princess of the Western Regions should be plotting something!

Those ministers have not received any tasks. Liu Yuhan feels that the Princess of the Western Regions is holding back a big move this time!

As soon as Lin Qingya heard it, she immediately realized that it was King Yao who wanted to ascend the throne.

He wants to ascend the throne with the help of the power of the Western Regions. What a fool! He has been sold out and has to count money for others!

How did the original owner fall in love with this idiot?

However, Lin Qingya can go to Prince Yao’s Mansion at night to listen to what they are trying to do!

As night fell, the western border was once again ablaze with beacon fires, and a fateful battle quietly began.

This time, the god of good luck did not seem to be on Xiao Yan's side. The border town was like fragile gravel.

It quickly collapsed in the torrent of the Eastern Jin cavalry, and the city gate was in danger under the cover of darkness.

When Xiao Yan woke up from his deep nightmare, the Eastern Jin army was like a ghost in the dark night.

Standing silently under the city gate, as if mocking fate,

ruthlessly interweaving his dreams with the cruel reality.

Under the city gate,

The soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were like ants clinging to meat.

The siege engines roared,

The ladders are like a forest.

The battle was fierce.

The world was shocked.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and anxiety.

The Yan defenders were not willing to be outdone.

They built the last line of defense with their flesh and blood.

Stones rained down like raindrops.

The gate-blocking knife cart is across the gate.

Vow to block every attack from the Eastern Jin Dynasty with all their might.

The low hedge is like a flexible arm,

Time and again, they pushed back the enemy's ladders that climbed up the city walls.

The two sides fought a desperate battle in this small space, and every second seemed to be frozen in eternity.

Xiao Yan hurried over, and the scene before him made his heart tighten. An ominous premonition was as piercing as ice.

He suddenly realized that the reason why he slept so deeply tonight was because

Someone must have tampered with it secretly and used drugs to numb his vigilance.

However, at this critical moment of life and death,

He has no time to pursue the truth, and the battle in front of him is the only focus he should pay attention to.

He took a deep breath, looked at his soldiers firmly with a sharp gaze.

The sound penetrates the noisy battlefield and reaches everyone's heart:

"No matter what happens, we must hold the city gate. This is our last line of defense and our glory!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan is not only a general,

It is also a beacon in the hearts of Dayan people.

Leading them through this endless darkness,

Looking for that glimmer of victory.
