Lin Yuwei frowned, thinking about what to do next. At this moment, a guard came hurriedly.

"Princess, we found a secret letter when we searched the residence of the traitorous palace maid." The guard said, presenting the secret letter.

Lin Yuwei took the secret letter and read it carefully. The words in the letter were obscure and difficult to understand, but she still found some clues from it.

"It seems to mention a place." Lin Yuwei said, pointing to a place in the letter.

The Imperial Master came over to check, "Princess, perhaps this is another base of the cult."

Lin Yuwei nodded, "Whether it is true or not, we have to investigate."

So, Lin Yuwei led a team of people and set off towards the place mentioned in the letter.

This is a dilapidated manor located in the suburbs, surrounded by weeds, which looks particularly gloomy.

Everyone approached the manor cautiously.

"Everyone be careful, there may be an ambush." Lin Yuwei warned.

As soon as I entered the manor, I heard a sinister laugh.

"Haha, you are finally here." A dark shadow jumped down from the roof.

Lin Yuwei drew her sword and asked, "Who are you?"

The shadow sneered and said, "Want to know? Then follow me."

After saying that, the black shadow turned and ran towards the depths of the manor.

Lin Yuwei and others chased after them relentlessly.

The manor was filled with traps and everyone was carefully avoiding them.

"Ah!" A guard accidentally triggered a trap and was hit by an arrow.

"Be careful!" Lin Yuwei shouted.

After a difficult journey, they finally caught up with the black shadow.

The black shadow stopped, turned around, and revealed his true face.

"It's you, Lord Li!" Lin Yuwei said in surprise.

Lord Li is an important official in the court and has always been trusted by the emperor.

"Princess, since you've discovered me, don't blame me for being rude." Lord Li said, waving the weapon in his hand and attacking Lin Yuwei.

Lin Yuwei and the guards fought fiercely with Lord Li.

Lord Li was an expert in martial arts, and for a while he was evenly matched with the others.

At this moment, the Imperial Master discovered Lord Li's weakness and cast a spell, hitting him.

Lord Li was injured and fell to the ground. Lin Yuwei stepped forward and said, "Tell me, who is the mastermind behind you?"

Lord Li laughed wildly, "Princess, you will never know."

After saying this, he bit the poison in his mouth and died on the spot.

Lin Yuwei was furious. "Damn it, the clue is broken again."

Just when everyone was feeling frustrated, a guard found a jade pendant on Lord Li.

"Princess, look at this jade pendant." The guard handed the jade pendant to Lin Yuwei.

Lin Yuwei took the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

"This jade pendant... seems to be an item from the Queen's palace." Lin Yuwei was shocked.

Could it be that the Queen was also involved in this matter? Lin Yuwei couldn't believe this speculation.

"Princess, there may be a misunderstanding in this matter." said the national teacher.

Lin Yuwei pondered for a moment, "No matter what, let's go back to the palace and ask the Queen for clarification."

When everyone returned to the palace, Lin Yuwei immediately went to the queen's bedroom.

"Mother, I have something important to ask you." Lin Yuwei said.

The queen looked puzzled, "Yuwei, what happened?"

Lin Yuwei took out the jade pendant and said, "Mother, do you recognize this jade pendant?"

When the queen saw the jade pendant, her expression changed slightly, "This jade pendant..."

Just when the queen was about to explain, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Oh no, Princess, the palace is surrounded again!" A palace maid ran in panic.

Lin Yuwei's heart sank, "Another cult?"

She looked at the queen and said, "Mother, please wait here. I will go and take a look."

Lin Yuwei led people to the outside of the palace, only to see a large number of cult followers attacking again.

"We must defeat them completely this time!" Lin Yuwei shouted.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Lin Yuwei fought bravely, and suddenly, she found a familiar figure among the cult followers.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the queen's trusted eunuch who had disappeared before.

"Could he also be a member of the cult?" Lin Yuwei was full of doubts.

At this time, the eunuch also saw Lin Yuwei, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

Lin Yuwei rushed towards the eunuch, wanting to catch him and get to the bottom of things.

The eunuch turned around and tried to escape, but was stopped by Lin Yuwei with a sword.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Lin Yuwei shouted angrily.

The eunuch said tremblingly: "Princess, please spare my life. It was... the Queen who asked me to do this."

Lin Yuwei couldn't believe her ears, "You're talking nonsense!"

At this time, news came from the palace that the queen was missing...
