The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack
Chapter 55: External Pressure
Yun Yao stood in the courtyard of the palace, the breeze gently blowing through her hair, her eyes revealing a hint of solemnity. Ever since she realized that Liu Yan'er was colluding with the powerful officials in the court, she knew that this fight was far from over.
Recently, the atmosphere around the palace has become extremely tense. Some unidentified people are wandering around, and some strange noises are heard from time to time. Yun Yao is keenly aware that this is the beginning of the powerful officials in the court to increase their efforts.
This powerful official has always had designs on the prince, and he thinks Liu Yan'er is a pawn that can be used. Now that the rumors have not had the desired effect, he decided to take more radical measures. He sent people to create chaos around the palace, trying to cause panic in the prince.
That night, there was a sudden noise outside the palace. Yun Yao was awakened, and she quickly got up, put on her coat, and walked towards the direction of the noise. She saw a group of people arguing outside the palace gate, and the scene was very chaotic.
Yun Yao approached and found that these people were all hooligans. They claimed that the people in the palace had bullied them and wanted to seek an explanation. Yun Yao saw at a glance that this was deliberately arranged by someone, with the purpose of causing trouble for the palace.
She looked at these people calmly, thinking about how to deal with them. At this time, the guards of the palace also rushed over, holding weapons, ready to drive these people away. However, these hooligans were not afraid at all, but became more arrogant and noisy.
Yun Yao knew that if she forcibly drove these people away, it might cause even greater trouble. She decided to stabilize the situation first, and then find a way to solve the problem. She walked up to them and said, "Everyone calm down first. If you have any questions, you can talk about it. If someone from our palace did something wrong, we will definitely give you an explanation."
After hearing Yun Yao's words, the hooligans calmed down a little. One of the leaders said, "You people in the palace are bullying others by taking advantage of your power. We can't just let it go."
Yun Yao smiled slightly and said, "Big brother, don't be angry yet. Tell me what happened. We will definitely handle this matter fairly."
The leader began to tell their story, saying that a servant of the palace had a conflict with them while drinking outside and injured one of their people. After hearing this, Yun Yao knew in her heart that this was an excuse, but she still decided to investigate the truth of the matter first.
She ordered the guards to put these people aside first, and then sent someone to investigate the so-called servant of the palace. After some investigation, Yun Yao found that there was no such thing at all, and it was a complete false accusation.
Yun Yao took the investigation results and came to the gangsters again. She said, "Everyone, we have investigated it clearly. This matter is completely false. You are being used by others. You should leave quickly and don't cause trouble for yourself."
After hearing Yun Yao's words, these hooligans hesitated. They were originally sent by the powerful officials, and now that the matter has been exposed, they don't know what to do. At this time, a mysterious man appeared in the crowd, he winked at these hooligans, and then quietly left.
After seeing the mysterious man's expression, these hooligans immediately became arrogant again. They claimed that Yun Yao was lying and insisted that the palace give them a satisfactory answer. Yun Yao was also a little angry when she saw these people were so stubborn.
She decided not to give in, and said to the guards, "Drive these people away. If they dare to cause trouble again, arrest them directly." The guards listened to Yun Yao's order and took action immediately. They walked towards these hooligans with weapons in hand.
Seeing that the people in the palace were serious, these hooligans were scared and fled. A crisis was temporarily resolved, but Yun Yao knew that this was only the first step of the powerful minister. He would definitely have other means.
After Yun Yao returned to her room, she began to think about how to deal with the conspiracy of the powerful minister. She realized that relying on the power of the palace alone was not enough, and she had to find a way to expose the conspiracy of the powerful minister and let the prince see his true face.
She decided to take advantage of this opportunity to suggest to the prince to strengthen the security of the palace and send people to investigate the source of the chaos. She believed that as long as she found evidence, she could completely expose the conspiracy of the powerful minister.
The next day, Yun Yao came to the prince's study and reported to him what happened last night. She said, "Prince, these people are obviously being used by others to create chaos in the palace. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take measures."
The prince listened to Yun Yao's words and nodded. He said, "What you said makes sense. What do you suggest?"
Yun Yao said: "Your Majesty, we should strengthen the security of the palace, increase the number of guards, and strengthen patrols. In addition, we should send people to investigate the source of the chaos and find out who is behind it."
The prince thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. I will send people to strengthen the security of the palace, and you will be responsible for investigating this matter."
Yun Yao took the order and left. She began to organize people to investigate the situation around the palace. She started with the ruffians and sent people to follow them to see who was behind them.
After some follow-up investigation, Yun Yao discovered that these ruffians were all connected to a mysterious person, who often appeared in an inn and met with these ruffians in secret.
Yun Yao decided to go to the inn to investigate in person. She disguised herself as an ordinary woman and came to the inn. The inn was bustling with people coming and going. Yun Yao walked around the inn and found no trace of the mysterious man.
She found a corner and sat down, ordered some food and drinks, and ate while observing the surroundings. At this time, a waiter came over and asked enthusiastically, "Girl, are you alone?"
Yun Yao smiled and said, "Yes, I was passing by here alone and came in to eat something." The waiter said, "Miss, you'd better be careful. This area is not safe recently. There are often some hooligans around."
Yun Yao's heart moved, and she said, "Oh? Really? I heard that there were some hooligans causing trouble outside the palace last night. Do you know what happened?" The waiter lowered his voice and said, "Miss, I heard that those hooligans were instructed by someone to create trouble for the palace."
Yun Yao asked, "Do you know who ordered this?" The waiter shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard that the person who ordered this is very powerful, and seems to be a high-ranking official in the court."
Yun Yao was more certain of her guess, and she continued to ask, "Do you know anything else about this matter?" The waiter thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the senior official seemed to have some intentions towards the prince, and he wanted to use these ruffians to suppress the prince."
Yun Yao got some useful information, paid the money and left the inn. She decided to continue investigating the identity of the mysterious man, find evidence and expose the conspiracy of the powerful official.
After Yun Yao returned to the palace, she told the prince what she had learned in the inn. After hearing this, the prince's face turned very ugly. He said, "This powerful official is so bold that he dares to do these little tricks under my nose. I must make him pay the price."
Yun Yao said, "Your Majesty, we don't have solid evidence yet, so we can't act rashly. We should continue investigating, find more evidence, and then think of a way to deal with him."
The prince nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. You continue to investigate and report to me at any time if there is any situation."
Yun Yao began to intensify her investigation. She sent people to inquire about the news and secretly observed the movements of the mysterious man. After a period of hard work, she finally found some clues.
It turns out that the mysterious man is a subordinate of the powerful official, who is responsible for contacting those hooligans and giving them tasks. Yun Yao also discovered that the powerful official not only created chaos around the palace, but also secretly bribed some of the servants in the palace, trying to disintegrate the palace from within.
Yun Yao sorted out the evidence and handed it to the prince. After reading it, the prince was furious. He said, "This powerful official is so insidious. I will never let him go."
Yun Yao said, "Your Highness, now that we have evidence, we can report him to the Emperor. But we must also be careful. The powerful ministers have great influence in the court, and we cannot take it lightly."
The prince said, "You are right. We must be fully prepared. I will send people to collect more evidence. At the same time, I will strengthen the security of the palace to prevent the powerful minister from taking desperate measures."
In the following days, Yun Yao and the prince worked out a careful plan to expose the conspiracy of the powerful minister. They knew that this struggle would be very difficult, but they did not back down, because they knew that only by defeating the powerful minister could they protect the safety of the palace.
The author says:
