Moonlight shone softly across the palace's backyard, casting a tranquility over the night sky. A gentle breeze rustled, carrying a hint of moisture. The tranquility was so breathtaking that it almost made one hold their breath. On this lonely night, Lu Xiao and Shen Yuke gathered in the gloom beneath an ancient banyan tree, whispering about their plot against Yun Mengting. The surging atmosphere filled the air with tension and calculation.

"Shen Yuke, how do you think we should start?" Lu Xiao lowered his voice slightly, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes, and a desire as deep as the abyss flowing secretly in the darkness.

"I've heard about Yun Mengting's recent contact with foreign businessmen." Shen Yuke raised a sly smile, a hint of pride and sinisterness in her eyes. "We can use this information to create false evidence and make it look like she has betrayed the palace."

"Good idea!" Lu Xiao's eyes flashed with excitement, as if he saw the dawn of success. The smile on his lips became more sinister. "As long as she makes a mistake in the meeting, everyone will start to doubt her loyalty."

At that moment, a faint whisper drifted through the night wind. Yun Mengting happened to be sitting nearby, listening quietly, her emotions surging like a wave. She held her breath, her heart tightening. The two men's conspiracy made her realize that she was facing unprecedented danger.

**"No, I won't just sit there and wait for death!"** The chaotic but clear anger in her heart made her firm, and she secretly decided to find a good way to fight back. She stood up quietly, avoiding the sight of the insidious duo, and began to formulate her own counterattack plan.

After several days of covert investigation, Yun Mengting gradually pieced together a key clue. She knew that Lu Xiao and Shen Yuke intended to exploit her dealings with foreign merchants to launch a vicious attack. Although she shuddered, she knew that only by seizing this opportunity could she reverse the situation.

"If I could know their plan in advance, then I could take the initiative." She said to herself, with firm belief in her clenched fists.

Yun Mengting launched into full action, leveraging her medical skills and connections to frequently contact foreign merchants, ensuring that every transaction she made could be recorded as legitimate business dealings within the palace. At the same time, she skillfully gathered evidence of her collaborations with foreign merchants, meticulously planning a stunning performance at the meeting and a reversal of events.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiao and Shen Yuke hadn't stopped their plotting. The more nervous Lu Xiao grew, the more uneasy he felt. He frowned and said to Shen Yuke, "We've underestimated her. Yun Mengting may appear fragile, but she's a very thoughtful person. If this drags on, she'll definitely turn things around." His voice was low, yet it tinged with regret and anxiety.

"We must speed up and make her make a mistake in the upcoming meeting to create pressure." Shen Yuke smiled, with a sinister light flashing in her eyes, as if she had seen through everything.

"Okay, let's proceed according to this plan." Lu Xiao nodded, his eyes full of sinister determination.

Meanwhile, Yun Mengting quietly pondered the future. She knew this war wasn't just about reputation, but also about trust and justice. Every step mattered.

"I must not let them succeed." She lowered her head and said to herself firmly, her eyes showing the courage to face the challenge.

As the sun rose, the palace began to glow with life. Yun Mengting put on her makeup and dressed in the morning light, hoping to present her best self to everyone. She knew that today's meeting would be a test of her abilities and the perfect opportunity to expose the conspiracy.

"No matter what, I must make the truth known." A strong belief made her heart more determined, as if she saw the light of the future.

When the bell rang, Yun Mengting, filled with responsibility and courage, stepped into the hall filled with conspiracy and calculation. She knew this battle was about honor and truth, and she had to fully demonstrate her strength and determination.

In the distance, Lu Xiao and Shen Yuke were lurking in the dark, looking forward to Yun Mengting's mistake. Their sinister smiles became even more unpredictable under the moonlight.

At this moment, the clash of power and conspiracy quietly begins. Yun Mengting is determined to take action to expose the truth hidden in the shadows, break those calculations and schemes one by one, and win a new future for herself.
