The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Lin Xiao and Li Xuan left the valley full of strange plants and continued their adventure. One evening, they came to a prosperous town. The town was bustling and lively, with shops on both sides of the street full of goods and hawking sounds. The two decided to stop here for a while and rest.

That night, they stayed at an inn. While they were enjoying dinner in the inn's restaurant, they suddenly heard people at the next table talking in low voices. They pricked up their ears and vaguely heard words such as "royal family" and "conspiracy", which immediately aroused their interest.

"Have you heard? A lot of strange things have happened in the palace recently. I heard it is related to the prince." A middle-aged man said mysteriously.

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" The person next to him immediately became interested.

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "I also heard from my friends in the palace that the prince was framed and fell into a conspiracy."

Everyone was shocked and expressed surprise.

At this time, another man came over and said seriously, "Yes, I also heard some rumors that the emperor is very dissatisfied with him and is even considering deposing the prince."

"How could this happen? Hasn't the prince always been highly respected?" someone asked in confusion.

"Alas, who knows? Maybe someone is jealous of the prince's status and deliberately set up a trap to frame him." An old man said worriedly.

"What should we do now? If the prince is really deposed, it will not be a good thing for our country." Everyone started to worry.

For a time, people were talking about it and speculating on the truth behind this palace turmoil. In the palace, the prince was facing an unprecedented crisis...

Lin Xiao and Li Xuan looked at each other, and they both felt a little curious and worried. As adventurers, they were naturally interested in this conspiracy involving the royal family. More importantly, they did not want to see innocent people being harmed. So, the two decided to investigate the matter in depth and help the prince resolve the crisis.

The next morning, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan found out the address of a secret agent in the palace. The agent's name was Zhao Yun, and he was a loyal supporter of the prince. They knocked on Zhao Yun's door and explained their intentions.

Seeing their sincerity, Zhao Yun invited them into the house and told them the story in detail. It turned out that recently, Crown Prince Li Ming was falsely accused of colluding with the enemy and attempting to rebel. When the news reached the emperor, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The person behind the conspiracy was an ambitious prime minister who wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the crown prince and support his cronies to take the throne.

"The prince is now under house arrest in the East Palace and cannot prove his innocence. We must find evidence to expose the prime minister's conspiracy." Zhao Yun said worriedly.

Lin Xiao and Li Xuan decided to help Zhao Yun and uncover the truth. After some discussion, the three of them decided to sneak into the prime minister's mansion to look for key evidence.

That night, the three sneaked into the prime minister's mansion. The prime minister's mansion was heavily guarded, but Lin Xiao and Li Xuan relied on their superb stealth skills to avoid the patrolling guards and successfully entered the inner courtyard. They split up and searched for places where important evidence might be stored.

Lin Xiao came to the prime minister's study and found the desk was full of various documents. He quickly flipped through them, trying to find evidence related to the prince. Suddenly, he found a secret letter, which mentioned the prime minister's conspiracy with the enemy country to frame the prince. Lin Xiao carefully put the letter away and prepared to take it back to Zhao Yun.

At the same time, Li Xuan found some important letters and account books in the underground secret room of the mansion, which were sufficient evidence to prove the secret transaction between the prime minister and the enemy country. He collected all these documents and met with Lin Xiao.

The two escaped from the prime minister's residence and handed the evidence to Zhao Yun, who was overjoyed and immediately organized the evidence and prepared to present it to the emperor.

Zhao Yun sneaked into the palace with Lin Xiao and Li Xuan and secretly delivered the evidence to a loyal minister, who was the emperor's confidant and decided to make the evidence public at the court meeting to clear the prince's name.

The next day, at the imperial court, the minister presented all the evidence to all the ministers, exposing the prime minister's conspiracy. The emperor was furious when he saw the overwhelming evidence, and immediately ordered the arrest of the prime minister and his accomplices, and released the crown prince who was under house arrest.

After learning the truth, Crown Prince Li Ming expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Zhao Yun, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan, and invited them to the palace to express his gratitude.

In the imperial garden of the palace, Crown Prince Li Ming personally met Lin Xiao and Li Xuan. He expressed his deep gratitude to the two and said that if it were not for their help, he would have difficulty clearing his name.

"I am deeply moved by your courage and wisdom," the prince said, "I would like to give you some precious gifts as a token of my gratitude."

Lin Xiao and Li Xuan were not greedy for wealth. They declined the prince's gift but expressed their hope to obtain some precious documents about the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty in order to continue their research and exploration.

Crown Prince Li Ming readily agreed and personally selected some precious documents from the palace's library and presented them to Lin Xiao and Li Xuan. These documents recorded many historical events and cultural customs during the Tang Dynasty, which were extremely useful for their research.

While sorting through the documents, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan discovered an ancient scroll that contained some clues about the lost royal treasure. These clues mentioned that during the Tang Dynasty, an emperor had secretly hidden the treasure in a remote valley to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy, and left behind complex runes as a guide.

Lin Xiao and Li Xuan were very excited about the discovery, and they decided to follow the clues on the scroll and go to the mysterious valley to find the lost royal treasure. They knew that this expedition would be more difficult and dangerous, but also full of infinite possibilities.

Before setting off, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan made full preparations. They took the documents given by the prince, ready to further study these ancient runes during the journey. In addition, they also brought the exotic plants and potions they had collected from the mountains and forests before, just in case.

After Zhao Yun learned of their plan, he specially arranged some reliable followers to escort them to the valley. Crown Prince Li Ming also prepared some dry food and luggage for them to ensure that their journey was smooth.

After several days of trekking, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan finally arrived at the mysterious valley. The valley was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, as if it was hiding countless secrets. They followed the instructions on the scroll and carefully searched for those complex runes.

After some efforts, they found an ancient stone tablet deep in the valley. The stone tablet was engraved with complex runes, which were the guidance mentioned in the scroll. Lin Xiao carefully studied the runes on the stone tablet and gradually cracked the secret.

As the last rune was unlocked, a hidden stone door slowly opened. Lin Xiao and Li Xuan walked into the stone door and found a huge underground palace inside. The palace was filled with all kinds of treasures, gold and silver jewelry, antiques and cultural relics, which were dazzling.

Deep in the underground palace, they found a stone tablet with detailed records. The stone tablet recorded the origin of the treasure and the emperor's original intention of hiding the treasure. It turned out that these treasures were not only wealth, but also contained many precious documents and cultural heritage about the Tang Dynasty.
