After the emperor carefully read the secret letter provided by Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan, his face was gloomy, and he was obviously shocked by the conspiracy. He slowly said: "Your courage and wisdom are worthy of praise. It is fortunate for the court that the conspiracy of the mysterious staff was exposed. But I am worried that this is just the tip of the iceberg."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan looked at each other and nodded. Lin Ruowei said firmly: "Your Majesty, we are willing to continue to assist in the investigation and thoroughly expose all conspiracies."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, next I will arrange for you to enter the palace to assist the cabinet ministers in investigating this matter."

At this moment, a eunuch hurried into the study and whispered something. The emperor's face suddenly became more serious: "It's not good, the followers of the mysterious staff have made some moves, we must act as soon as possible."

Lin Ruowei asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "You need to sneak into an important place, where the mysterious staff and his followers often meet secretly. Only by finding more evidence can you completely dismantle their conspiracy."

Gu Yan smiled and said, "It seems we have to continue being detectives."

Lin Ruowei also smiled: "Then we need a detailed plan."

The emperor nodded and said, "I will arrange for the chief guard and the Duke of Zhenguo to assist you. You must act carefully and not alert the enemy."

They quickly agreed on an action plan and prepared to sneak into the secret location. When night fell, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan changed into plain clothes and followed the chief guard and the Duke of Zhenguo, sneaking into a mansion in the capital.

"This mansion may seem ordinary, but it actually holds a secret." The captain of the guards whispered.

The Duke of Zhenguo added: "This is where the mysterious staff and his accomplices meet in secret, so everyone should be careful."

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan nodded, quietly entered the mansion, and searched around. They found that the layout of this mansion was very exquisite, and there were secret passages hidden in each room.

"It seems we have found the right place." Lin Ruowei said in a low voice.

Gu Yan pointed ahead and said, "There is a secret room over there. Let's go in and take a look."

They pushed open the door of the secret room and found it was filled with various books and documents. Lin Ruowei quickly searched and finally found the key clue in a thick account book.

"These documents record in detail the financial transactions between the mysterious staff and his cronies, as well as some important communications," Lin Ruowei said excitedly.

Gu Yan also searched for a while and found a map: "Look, this map marks their secret base. It seems that we have enough evidence."

Just as they were about to pack up and leave, they suddenly heard footsteps outside. Lin Ruowei's heart tightened: "Oh no, someone is coming."

They quickly hid in the secret compartment of the secret room, held their breath, and waited quietly. The person outside walked into the secret room and began to search for something, obviously looking for some important document.

"We must be careful and not be discovered by them." Gu Yan said in a low voice.

Lin Ruowei nodded and prayed silently in her heart. After a while, the people outside seemed to have not found what they wanted and left the secret room in disappointment.

"Let's leave quickly." Lin Ruowei said softly.

They quietly walked out of the secret room and successfully escaped from the mansion. Back in the palace, they handed all the evidence to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor's face became more gloomy, but a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

"You have done a good job. These evidences are enough to expose all the conspiracies," said the emperor.

Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that the real challenge was not over yet. The followers of the mysterious staff were still operating in secret and must be completely eliminated to ensure the peace of the court and the people.

"What do we need to do next?" Lin Ruowei asked.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "You need to continue investigating and find those accomplices who are hiding deeper. Only by thoroughly exposing all conspiracies can we ensure the safety of the country."
