The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 28 Alliance in the Shadows
Ling Xuan tiptoed through the window and entered a small study filled with ancient books. On the wall, a glimpse of Xu Zheng's family tree, each revealing startling family secrets, lingered between the lines. The air was filled with the musty smell of books and the scent of ink. Several windows were tightly closed, preventing sunlight from entering the gloomy space.
"This is Xu Zheng's hiding place, mysterious and dangerous." Yun Mengting said in a low voice, trying not to make any noise, following Ling Xuan's steps and quietly observing the surroundings.
Ling Xuan nodded, his eyes flashing with resolute determination, "There must be Xu Zheng's secret here. No matter what, we must find out his conspiracy."
The two quietly approached the desk, where various documents and ancient books were piled. Among these books, Ling Xuan gradually found several ancient books emitting a unique glow. The words "Power" and "Secret Art" were inscribed on the covers. Ling Xuan flipped through them again and again, and indeed, he discovered that they contained detailed information about the manipulation of the dynasty by the emperor.
"Look!" Ling Xuan flipped to a page in a book and pointed at the text above. "It mentions a secret passage called 'Qian Ye'. Xu Zheng seems to be planning to use this secret passage to collude with external forces."
Yun Mengting stared at the page, feeling a surge of unease. "'Qian Ye'? This secret passage directly connects the royal city to the outside world. If he were to exploit it, it would undoubtedly create a massive crisis!" Her heartbeat quickened, and she felt the clock ticking.
"We must find evidence. We can't let this plan continue." Ling Xuan said decisively. At the same time, he noticed a wooden box next to the desk, slightly tilted. "What is this?"
"This might be where Xu Zheng stores important items," Yun Mengting speculated. "Let's try opening it!"
The two men worked together to open the wooden box, revealing sealed letters and several exquisite jade pendants. Ling Xuan picked up a letter, his expression filled with shock at its contents. He exclaimed in disbelief, "This is a letter from an outside force, agreeing to collaborate at the upcoming event and plotting to control the royal power!"
"This is definitely evidence. We must take it back!" Yun Mengting casually put the letter and jade pendant into her arms. "I think Xu Zheng's conspiracy is much more complicated than we imagined."
At that moment, whispers emanated from outside the door. Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting's hearts tightened, and they quickly searched for a hiding place. They hid under the desk, nervously clutching the evidence in their hands, holding their breath, feeling a surge of fear and anxiety.
"Have you heard? Xu Zheng has been making private deals with several powerful officials recently, and seems to be preparing for something big..." The voice outside the door slowly came.
"Yes, I heard that he plans to carry out a shocking plan at the event. Many people are eyeing him. It seems that the forces are competing in secret." Another voice echoed.
"If others knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous." The guard's voice deepened. "But it seems Xu Zheng has no scruples and seems ready to overthrow the court in one fell swoop."
Yun Mengting couldn't help but feel a chill. Xu Zheng's plan was so in-depth that they had to pass on the information as soon as possible and be wary of more powerful ministers and officials.
"We can't stay here any longer, we must leave as soon as possible!" Ling Xuan said quietly, having made up his mind.
Yun Mengting nodded vigorously, and the two of them displayed a hint of courage and determination, quietly crawling out from under the desk and quickly sneaking towards the exit. At this moment, their hearts were filled with a sense of urgency, and they had to escape this dangerous place before they were discovered.
But just as they were about to reach the door, it suddenly opened and several guards rushed in, their eyes filled with ferocity and vigilance. "Who are you? Get out right here!"
"Run!" Ling Xuan commanded urgently, instantly pulling Yun Mengting up and quickly turning to flee to the other side of the study. They had to find a hidden way out again and not get caught.
Yun Mengting panicked, but she knew she had to use her medical wisdom and agility. "We can jump out the window! There's a small window over there that should be able to get out!" She quickly pointed to an open window. Although this path was fraught with risk, it was the only option.
"Okay!" Ling Xuan leaped decisively. Below him was a small courtyard, silent except for a few weeds. Yun Mengting followed closely behind him. As the guards were chasing her, she quickly rolled across the courtyard, concealing herself and taking refuge in the shadows.
"Chase! We can't let them escape!" The guards' voices were getting closer and closer to them, searching everywhere for any trace of their escape.
Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan pressed themselves against the wall, their ears filled with the sound of approaching guards' footsteps. Their hearts pounded like thunder, but neither of them was willing to give up the fight.
"There is an exit ahead. We can escape through that alley!" Ling Xuan said in a low voice, with a decisive light flashing in his eyes.
The two worked together and ran quickly towards the alley. As the footsteps gradually faded away, they felt a little relieved. They decided to hand over the evidence to the officials after returning and expose Xu Zheng's conspiracy.
"We must make them believe our intelligence!" Yun Mengting panted, a determined look on her face. "Only in this way can the dynasty have a chance to escape this crisis."
"I will do my best and will never let you down!" Ling Xuan's voice was full of confidence. He decided to face all difficulties with Yun Mengting, uncover the truth, and reshape the future of the dynasty.
As they walked through the noisy alleys, their hearts surged with endless faith and ardent fighting spirit. The undercurrent of power struggle was about to escalate, and a more severe challenge was waiting for them.
