The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Under the heavy haze of the palace, Yun Yao decided not to sit and wait for death. She would take the initiative to expose Liu Yan'er's true face.

Yun Yao knew Liu Yan'er's insidiousness and cunningness, and if she wanted to fight back successfully, she had to have solid evidence. She began to recall the details of the past, trying to find clues of Liu Yan'er's collusion with external forces. Those little things that she had ignored before became key clues at this moment.

Yun Yao first thought of the days when she was under surveillance. She remembered that several times when she was walking in the garden, she could always feel a few strange eyes coming from the dark. She began to carefully observe the surroundings of the garden and found some unusual signs. In a corner of the garden, there were several trampled grasses, which obviously someone often stayed here. Yun Yao deduced that these people were most likely sent by Liu Yan'er to monitor her.

Then, Yun Yao thought of the change in the attitude of the servants in the palace towards her. Those servants who used to be respectful to her suddenly became cold and even deliberately made things difficult for her. She decided to start with these servants and look for clues. Yun Yao found a few servants who had a good relationship with her and talked to them quietly, trying to find out the truth of the matter. At first, these servants had some concerns and did not dare to speak easily. But Yun Yao patiently persuaded them and promised to protect their safety. In the end, a servant revealed some important information. It turned out that Liu Yan'er had threatened them that if they did not cooperate with her to deal with Yun Yao, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the palace.

With these clues, Yun Yao became more certain of her guess. She decided to continue to investigate and find more evidence. Yun Yao used the system's prompts to analyze Liu Yan'er's movements. The system told her that Liu Yan'er had been frequently entering and exiting the back door of the palace late at night. Yun Yao decided to wait near the back door to see what Liu Yan'er was up to.

After several nights of waiting, Yun Yao finally discovered Liu Yan'er's secret. On a dark and windy night, Liu Yan'er quietly slipped out of the back door and met with several strangers. Yun Yao followed carefully behind, eavesdropping on their conversation under the cover of night. She heard Liu Yan'er discussing with those people how to frame her and how to seize power in the palace. Yun Yao was furious, but she knew it was not the right time yet. She had to collect more evidence to completely expose Liu Yan'er's conspiracy.

Yun Yao continued to follow Liu Yan'er and found that after they discussed things, they would go to an abandoned yard. Yun Yao guessed that it might be their secret base. She decided to find an opportunity to sneak into the yard and look for more evidence. At a suitable time, Yun Yao sneaked into the yard while Liu Yan'er and others were away. The yard was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and there were shabby furniture and sundries everywhere. Yun Yao carefully searched every corner and finally found some important documents in a room. These documents recorded Liu Yan'er's detailed plan of collusion with external forces, as well as the communication records between them. Yun Yao was overjoyed. She carefully put away the documents and prepared to present them to the prince.

However, Yun Yao knew that these documents alone were not enough. She also needed to find some witnesses to make the prince believe her words more. Yun Yao began to look around for people who were willing to testify for her. She found some servants who had been bullied by Liu Yan'er, and some officials who were dissatisfied with Liu Yan'er's behavior. These people were a little hesitant at first, fearing that they would be retaliated by Liu Yan'er. But Yun Yao assured them that as long as they stood up bravely, she would protect their safety. Under Yun Yao's persuasion, these people finally agreed to testify for her.

When Yun Yao had collected enough evidence, she decided to present it to the prince. She carefully prepared a detailed report, exposing Liu Yan'er's conspiracy one by one. Then, she brought the evidence and witnesses to the prince's study. When the prince saw Yun Yao, a surprised expression appeared on his face. He didn't expect Yun Yao to come to him at this time.

Yun Yao saluted respectfully to the prince, and then handed the evidence and report to the prince. The prince took the evidence and report and read them carefully. As he read deeper, the prince's face became more and more gloomy. He couldn't believe that his most beloved concubine would collude with external forces to frame Yun Yao and seize power in the palace.

After reading the evidence and the report, the prince fell into deep thought. He didn't know who to believe. On the one hand, Liu Yan'er was his favorite concubine, and he didn't believe she would do such a thing. On the other hand, Yun Yao's evidence was conclusive and people had to believe it. The prince decided to listen to Liu Yan'er's explanation before making a decision.

The prince sent someone to call Liu Yan'er to the study. When Liu Yan'er saw Yun Yao in the study, she suddenly had an ominous premonition. She pretended to be calm and saluted the prince. The prince threw the evidence and report in front of Liu Yan'er and asked sternly: "What's going on? Explain it to me clearly!"

Liu Yan'er was very flustered when she saw the evidence and the report. But she did not give up, and began to quibble and try to shirk responsibility. She claimed that she was wronged and that the evidence was forged by Yun Yao. She also said that Yun Yao had always been jealous of her and wanted to frame her and seize her position.

After listening to Liu Yan'er's words, the prince fell into deep thought. He didn't know who to trust. Yun Yao saw the prince's hesitation, and she decided to strike again. She told the prince about the process of collecting evidence and the details of Liu Yan'er's collusion with external forces. She also invited witnesses to testify in person.

The appearance of the witness caught Liu Yan'er off guard. She didn't expect Yun Yao to find a witness. She began to panic and didn't know how to respond. When the prince saw Liu Yan'er's reaction, he already had the answer in his mind. He knew that Liu Yan'er was lying and that she had indeed colluded with external forces to frame Yun Yao.

The prince looked at Liu Yan'er angrily and said sternly: "You actually did such a thing, which really disappoints me. I have always loved you, but I didn't expect you to betray me." Liu Yan'er saw that the prince had seen through her conspiracy and knew that the situation was hopeless. She knelt on the ground and begged the prince with tears in her eyes. She admitted her mistake and asked the prince to forgive her.

The prince looked at Liu Yan'er, his heart filled with anger and disappointment. He decided to severely punish Liu Yan'er. He ordered Liu Yan'er to be banished to the cold palace and deprived of her status as a concubine. At the same time, he was very satisfied with Yun Yao's performance and gave her a generous reward.

Yun Yao saw Liu Yan'er being banished to the cold palace, and she did not feel the slightest bit of joy in her heart. She knew that although she had temporarily won this struggle, there would be more challenges waiting for her in the future. She had to constantly improve her strength in order to survive in this world full of conspiracy and danger.
