The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy

Chapter 27: The Power Struggle in the Secret Room: Undercurrents

Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan hid tightly behind the bookshelf, their heartbeats rumbling in their ears like war drums. The footsteps of the guards approached like an undercurrent, making them increasingly nervous.

"Hurry, we have to take this opportunity to find more evidence!" Ling Xuan whispered, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he was full of anticipation for the upcoming action.

Yun Mengting glanced around, her eyes settling on the bookshelves. A strong intuition told her that there was a hidden secret there. A fighting spirit ignited within her. "Perhaps these books hold the key to the mystery!" she whispered, her eyes gleaming with unquenchable desire.

"Then go find it quickly!" Ling Xuan encouraged, following her small steps, his eyes always keeping a vigilant look.

Yun Mengting bent down and looked at the bottom corner of the bookshelf. There was an old book there, its cover shimmering with a faint golden glow, as if hinting at its specialness. "What's so special about this book?" she whispered to herself, trying to decipher the vague words on the title.

"Hush, be careful!" Just as she was about to reach out, a low cough came from behind her. A guard had already walked close enough and obviously noticed something was wrong. His face immediately turned serious and his eyes looked around.

Yun Mengting's heart tightened, and she stepped back decisively, pressing her body against the bookshelf, "We can't be discovered!" Ling Xuan also held his breath beside her, his eyes like an eagle, ready to respond at any time.

The guard's eyes became increasingly nervous. He looked around until he found an ancient book in front of the bookshelf and exclaimed, "This is the book! Everyone, come and find it!" His voice was like thunder, stirring up a storm in this secret room, oppressing Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan's hearts.

"This is not good!" Yun Mengting was anxious and moved quietly to the other side of the bookshelf.

Suddenly, a sound outside the door caught her attention. The door flew open, and several high-ranking officials in gorgeous attire walked in, looking serious, as if they had brought some important news.

"Quick! Gather everyone's strength. Xu Zheng's plan has reached a critical moment and we must stop him!" The voice of one of the senior officials was sonorous and powerful, and instantly focused everyone's attention on him.

Yun Mengting turned, her eyes flickering slightly as she brushed against the edge of the bookshelf, trying to capture every word. "Xu Zheng's plan? The future of the dynasty?" A flicker of nervousness and anticipation flashed through her mind. Every word here was tied to her fate.

"He is using the hidden passages in the secret room and the power of ancient books to fight against us. If we don't act in time, the entire dynasty will fall into chaos!" another official added, his face full of anxiety.

Yun Mengting's mind raced. She knew that if she could leverage the power of these officials, they might be able to change the situation. "I can't stay here any longer. I need to step forward and find an opportunity!" The fire in her heart grew ever brighter.

"We must unite and find more evidence to expose Xu Zheng's conspiracy!" an official, clearly in a high position, declared firmly, his voice filled with determination. "That book is the key to his rule; we must seize it!"

"What a great opportunity! I can help them!" Anxious, Yun Mengting secretly made up her mind, feeling her sense of responsibility and mission growing stronger. She decided not to wait any longer and had to act.

"You have to be careful and don't get discovered." Ling Xuan reminded in a low voice, his emotions mixed with worry and excitement.

"I understand!" She nodded firmly and turned to walk towards the officials. She wanted to buy time and build trust with these powerful officials.

As the officials' discussion became more and more heated, "Xu Zheng cannot be forced into a desperate situation. We must find his secret base!" said one of the officials, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

"I absolutely cannot let this conspiracy continue..." Yun Mengting swore secretly in her heart, moving forward step by step, getting closer and closer to those officials. She was ready to insert her own words at the critical moment.

At this critical moment, a guard suddenly turned around, as if sensing something, and locked his eyes on her.

"Who are you?" the guard suddenly shouted, his eyes like an eagle catching its prey, approaching cautiously.

"Quick, take her and catch her!" another guard shouted urgently, his face full of anger and anxiety.

Yun Mengting's heart tightened. In desperation, she mustered up her courage and said sternly, "I'm here to help you stop Xu Zheng's conspiracy!" She suppressed her inner fear and tried to impress them with her sincerity.

"You sound quite reasonable?" The guard paused, puzzled, and asked bluntly, "What evidence do you have? How can you prove you're not Xu Zheng's spy?"

"I've met Xu Zheng and his men before." Yun Mengting said without hesitation, a fire burning in her heart. "His plan involves the fate of the entire dynasty. Perhaps I can provide the information you seek!"

The guards hesitated under Yun Mengting's sincere gaze and resolute voice. At this moment, Ling Xuan rushed out from behind the bookshelf and expressed his opinion without reservation.

"We have been tracking Xu Zheng's actions in the secret room, hoping to uncover the conspiracy behind him!" His voice was as loud as a drumbeat, deeply moving the officials present.

"These two guys don't seem to be lying." The senior official nodded slightly, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He finally gained some trust in Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan. "Okay, tell me, what exactly is Xu Zheng's plan?"

Yun Mengting was delighted and immediately took over the conversation, her tone becoming clearer and more resolute: "Xu Zheng is using the secrets of this secret room and the power he gained from the ancient books to control the dynasty and achieve his personal goals!"

As she spoke, the officials' eyes gradually revealed unexpected surprise and concern.

"If we don't unite all our forces immediately and take action, and just wait for Xu Zheng to unfold his conspiracy, we will regret it in advance!" Yun Mengting concluded firmly.

"It seems... we really should cooperate." A senior official finally made a decision, and the others immediately echoed him, and the atmosphere gradually gathered into a new force.

At this moment, Yun Mengting knew that she had finally found enough support, and their fate was intertwined in this tense game. The situation ahead would be full of challenges, but they would go forward hand in hand, bravely facing this road and never retreating.

In this secret room where undercurrents are surging, a struggle concerning the fate of the dynasty is about to unfold, and Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan will become important pawns in it.
