The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

In the deep courtyard of the palace, Yun Yao's rise was like a dazzling new star, which made the jealous Liu Yan'er's resentment even stronger. Liu Yan'er watched Yun Yao gain more and more attention from the prince, and the woman she once despised was now shining brightly in the palace. Her heart seemed to be gnawed by millions of ants, and the pain and jealousy intertwined into an airtight net that bound her tightly.

Liu Yan'er sat alone in her boudoir, her delicate face slightly twisted by anger. She bit her lower lip tightly, and Yun Yao's confident smile and the prince's admiring eyes kept appearing in her mind. "Yun Yao, you are just a bitch who suddenly gained power. Why do you take away my glory?" Liu Yan'er cursed in a low voice, her hands clenched into fists.

She knew that she could not suppress Yun Yao with her own power in the palace, and she had to seek help from outside. After careful consideration, Liu Yan'er decided to secretly contact a powerful official in the court. This powerful official was named Zhao Kun, who was in a high position and had always had intentions towards the prince. Liu Yan'er believed that as long as she promised a generous reward, Zhao Kun would definitely help her suppress Yun Yao.

Liu Yan'er carefully prepared a secret letter, in which she elaborated on her plan and her promise to Zhao Kun. She sent her most trusted maid to quietly deliver the letter out of the palace, making sure that the letter was safely delivered to Zhao Kun. The maid carefully shuttled through the streets and alleys of the capital, avoiding the eyes and ears of the public, and finally delivered the secret letter to Zhao Kun's house.

Zhao Kun sat in the study, looking at the secret letter in his hand, with a slight smile on his face. He had long been dissatisfied with the prince, and thought that he could use Liu Yan'er to achieve his own goals. "This Liu Yan'er is a smart woman, she knows how to use external forces." Zhao Kun secretly thought in his heart, "If I can successfully suppress Yun Yao and then weaken the prince's power, it may not be a bad thing for me."

Zhao Kun decided to cooperate with Liu Yan'er. He immediately wrote back to Liu Yan'er, stating his attitude and plan. Liu Yan'er was overjoyed when she received Zhao Kun's reply. She knew that with Zhao Kun's help, she would be able to ruin Yun Yao's reputation.

Liu Yan'er began to spread rumors in the palace, saying that Yun Yao colluded with outsiders to harm the prince. She used her connections in the palace to quietly spread the rumors. Some servants who did not know the truth began to point fingers at Yun Yao and talk about her.

"I heard that Yun Yao has colluded with people outside and wants to harm the prince." A maid whispered to another maid in the garden.

"Really? I can't believe she is such a person." Another maid covered her mouth in surprise.

Rumors spread quickly in the palace like the wind, and Yun Yao soon noticed the strange atmosphere in the palace. As she walked in the garden, she could clearly feel that the servants looked at her with suspicion and vigilance. Yun Yao's heart sank, and she realized that someone was secretly targeting her.

Through the system's prompts, Yun Yao learned of Liu Yan'er's conspiracy. A flash of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Yun Yao decided to keep quiet and secretly observe Liu Yan'er's movements, while trying to find a way to resolve this crisis.

Back in her room, Yun Yao fell into deep thought. She knew that since Liu Yan'er dared to collude with external forces, she must have come prepared. She must respond cautiously and not let Liu Yan'er's conspiracy succeed. Yun Yao began to analyze the current situation and think about how to deal with it.

At the same time, Liu Yan'er continued to spread rumors in the palace. She deliberately mentioned Yun Yao's "suspicious behavior" on some important occasions to attract more people's attention. Some people who originally had a good impression of Yun Yao also began to waver and doubt Yun Yao.

"Has Yun Yao really colluded with outsiders? If so, that's terrible." One of the princess's personal maids said worriedly.

"Now that the rumor is spreading so widely, I'm afraid it's not groundless." Another maid echoed.

Liu Yan'er watched the rumors gradually ferment, feeling very proud. She believed that as long as this continued, Yun Yao would definitely fall into trouble, and the prince would lose trust in her.

However, Yun Yao did not sit still and wait for death. She began to discuss countermeasures with Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui was the only person Yun Yao trusted in the palace. She was smart and loyal to Yun Yao.

"Miss, rumors are spreading everywhere now. What should we do?" Xiao Cui asked anxiously.

Yun Yao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Cui, we can't panic. Since Liu Yan'er dared to spread rumors, she must have evidence or created some false impressions. We must first find the source of the rumor and see what evidence she has."

Xiao Cui nodded and said, "Miss is right, we can't let Liu Yan'er succeed. But where should we start looking?"

Yun Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with those who spread the rumors the most. They must be Liu Yan'er's spies, or they must have been bribed by her. We need to find their flaws and expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy."

Xiao Cui immediately took action and began to secretly observe those who spread the rumors. After a few days of observation, Xiao Cui found some suspicious clues. Several maids always gathered at a specific time and place, quietly discussing Yun Yao's affairs. Xiao Cui thought they might be Liu Yan'er's spies.

Xiao Cui told Yun Yao about her discovery. Yun Yao decided to test these maids herself. She deliberately met them in the garden and casually mentioned the rumor.

"Have you heard? There have been a lot of rumors about me in the palace recently." Yun Yao said with a smile.

The maids immediately became nervous, and one of them stammered, "Miss Yunyao, we only heard about it, we don't know if it's true or not."

Yun Yao observed their expressions and became more certain of her guess. She continued, "I have never done anything to offend the palace. I don't know why there are such rumors. Do you know who is spreading these rumors?"

The maids looked at each other, not daring to speak. Yun Yao saw their hesitation and said, "If you can tell me the truth, I will definitely reward you handsomely. If you continue to conceal it, you will be in big trouble when the prince finds out."

Under Yun Yao's coercion and inducement, a maid finally couldn't help but said, "Miss Yun Yao, we were also forced. It was Miss Liu Yan'er who asked us to spread the rumors. She said that if we didn't do it, we would have no place to stand in the palace."

Yun Yao's heart sank. It turned out that Liu Yan'er was behind this. She continued to ask, "What other plans does Liu Yan'er have? Has she contacted anyone outside?"

The maids shook their heads and said, "We don't know what other plans Miss Liu Yan'er has, nor do we know if she has contacted anyone outside. We are just following her instructions."

Yun Yao knew that she could not get any more information from these maids. She decided to find evidence of Liu Yan'er's connection with external forces and thoroughly expose her conspiracy.

Yun Yao began to think about how Liu Yan'er might have contacted external forces. She thought of Liu Yan'er's maid, the one who had sent the secret letter. Yun Yao decided to start with her and look for clues.

After some investigation, Yun Yao discovered that Liu Yan'er's maid had been behaving strangely recently. She often went in and out of the back door of the palace and seemed to be in contact with someone. Yun Yao decided to follow her to see what she was doing.

One night, Yun Yao and Xiao Cui quietly followed Liu Yan'er's maid. The maid cautiously came to the back door of the palace and met a strange man. Yun Yao and Xiao Cui hid in the dark and observed their every move.

The maid handed a package to the man, who took it and left quickly. Yun Yao and Xiao Cui did not alarm the maid and continued to follow the man. The man walked through several alleys and came to a remote courtyard. Yun Yao and Xiao Cui observed outside the courtyard for a while and found that there seemed to be many people busy in the courtyard, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Yun Yao decided to venture into the yard to find out what was going on. She and Xiao Cui carefully climbed over the wall and entered the yard, hiding in a corner. They saw some people sorting letters and items in the yard, and one of the letters had Liu Yan'er's name written on it. Yun Yao was overjoyed, knowing that she had found evidence of Liu Yan'er's connection with external forces.

Yun Yao and Xiao Cui quietly took the letter and quickly left the yard. After returning to the palace, Yun Yao opened the letter, which was indeed the correspondence between Liu Yan'er and Zhao Kun. The letter detailed their conspiracy and the plan to frame Yun Yao.

Yun Yao held the letter, her heart filled with anger. She decided to hand over the evidence to the prince to expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy. However, she also knew that she could not act rashly and had to have a careful plan.

Yun Yao began to think about how to give the evidence to the prince so that he would believe her. She thought of the prince's most trusted counselor and decided to go to him to discuss countermeasures. After listening to Yun Yao's story, the counselor was also angry about Liu Yan'er's behavior. He suggested that Yun Yao present the evidence to the prince at the right time, and at the same time prepare sufficient explanations and evidence so that the prince can clearly understand the truth of the matter.

Yun Yao followed the advice of her adviser and began to prepare a plan to expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy. She knew that this was a difficult battle, but she had to face it bravely for her dignity and future.

During the preparation, Yun Yao did not forget to practice. She knew that only by constantly improving her strength could she survive in this challenging world. The system also constantly provided her with new tasks and rewards to help her grow quickly on the road of practice.

After a few days of preparation, Yun Yao felt that the time was ripe. She decided to expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy at an important meeting of the prince. At the meeting, the prince and the ministers were discussing important affairs of the palace. Yun Yao quietly waited for the opportunity, and when the issue of the safety of the palace was discussed, Yun Yao stood up.

"Your Highness, I have something to report." Yun Yao said respectfully.

The prince frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Yun Yao took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, there have been some rumors about me in the palace recently, saying that I colluded with outsiders to harm Your Highness. I know I am innocent, but the rumors bother me a lot. After investigation, I found that these rumors were deliberately spread by Miss Liu Yan'er, and she also colluded with external forces to frame me."

After hearing Yun Yao's words, the prince's face turned very ugly. He asked, "What evidence do you have?"

Yun Yao took out the letter, handed it to the prince, and said, "Prince, this is the evidence I found. This is the content of the correspondence between Liu Yan'er and external forces, which details their conspiracy."

The prince took the letter and read it carefully. His face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger. After reading the letter, the prince threw it to the ground fiercely and said, "Liu Yan'er dared to do such a thing. She is so bold."

Yun Yao took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, Liu Yan'er's behavior is not only a frame-up of me, but also a betrayal to you. She colluded with external forces and attempted to undermine the stability of the palace. I beg you to punish Liu Yan'er severely to serve as a warning to others."

The prince nodded and said, "You are right, Liu Yan'er must be punished."

The prince immediately sent someone to investigate Liu Yan'er's behavior, and soon confirmed Yun Yao's statement. The prince was furious, imprisoned Liu Yan'er, and warned external forces.

Yun Yao's crisis was resolved, and her position in the palace became more stable. The prince's trust in her also reached a new height, and he began to assign her some important tasks.
