The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 54 The Contest of Truth
Inside the palace's main hall, sunlight streamed through ornately carved window lattices, illuminating the broad, cyan-tiled floor. The soft light contrasted sharply with the solemn atmosphere. Yun Mengting stood in the center, her face calm, yet her heart raged with turmoil. She felt as if a huge rock was weighing her down, a mixture of anticipation and unease. Today, the revelation of the truth could be a turning point in her fate.
"Everyone, today I will expose a conspiracy hidden in the palace. It involves not only Lu Xiao, but also those who manipulate everything behind the scenes!" She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound firm and powerful. However, a trace of hesitation lingered in her heart, as if it could swallow her up at any moment.
Lu Xiao's expression immediately darkened, a cold glint in his eyes. He pressed one hand against the table, his knuckles turning white, his tone laced with sarcasm and disdain: "Yun Mengting, you're just making things up to discredit me!"
"I can't retreat!" Yun Mengting muttered to herself, trying to suppress the turmoil of anxiety. She pulled several documents from her bosom. Her hands trembled slightly, but she quickly adjusted her posture and unfolded the papers, determined to show her determination. The papers gleamed in the sunlight, and each word was like a bombshell, ready to cause a ripple in this land.
"This document records Lu Xiao's secret transactions. The specific flow of funds is beyond people's imagination!" She tried to make her voice sound more confident and tried her best to hide her inner nervousness, but she could clearly feel her body getting slightly hot, and tiny beads of sweat seemed to seep out of her forehead.
The reactions of the surrounding officials surged in like a tide. Some began to whisper among themselves, their brows furrowed, as if they were evaluating the truth of what she said. Yun Mengting caught the uneasy looks on their faces and felt a surge of joy in her heart. The past worry was quickly replaced by hope at this moment.
"What you've said is a false accusation! I hold a very important position in the palace!" Lu Xiao's face paled, but he tried to control himself, a stern expression on his face. He gripped the edge of the table, veins bulging on the back of his hand, revealing the rage and fear within him. He struggled internally: if this accusation were proven, he would be completely defeated, and all his power and prestige would be gone.
Yun Mengting clearly sensed Lu Xiao's vulnerability, but she knew this was not the right time. She had to capitalize on this momentary strength. Taking a deep breath, she looked directly at everyone, trying to make her voice firmer. "You must understand that this isn't just an exposure of Lu Xiao personally; it's a threat to the overall interests of the palace! We can't stand aside any longer!"
At this moment, the young official stepped forward, his face filled with hesitation and uneasiness, but his eyes gleamed with determination. He raised his hand and echoed, "If what Yun Mengting said is true, Lu Xiao should no longer manage such an important matter. We need to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
Other officials, including this young official, also felt a surge of courage. Yun Mengting's voice was like a shot in the arm, stimulating their desire to stand up for justice. People leaned forward slightly, eager to learn more, and a sense of unease seemed to gather in the air.
Seeing that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him, Lu Xiao slammed the table in anger and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to believe her? She just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fight for power!"
"I believe the truth!" An elderly official stepped forward, his tone firm and his eyes blazing. His expression revealed a deep sense of worry and indignation, as if he were recalling the imminent destruction of the reputation of the palace he had built.
"We can no longer tolerate this kind of corrupt behavior. There must be a fair investigation!" Another official spoke with great enthusiasm and passion, his speech speed increasing, as if to encourage the people around him to move closer to him.
Yun Mengting breathed a sigh of relief, her inner tension easing slightly. She knew her courage came not only from herself, but also from these people's thirst for truth and yearning for justice. This strength made her feel less alone and made her resolve even stronger.
Just as everything was in full swing, the palace gate was suddenly pushed open, and several guards walked in, followed by the inspector with a stern face. The atmosphere instantly became more tense, and the air seemed to become solemn and heavy.
"I have an order from above to immediately conduct a comprehensive investigation into all of Lu Xiao's transactions!" The Inspector was calm and resolute, like a strong pillar supporting the morality and justice in the entire hall.
Lu Xiao's face flushed, and the anger in his throat almost formed into words, but he froze under the gaze of everyone, losing the opportunity to defend himself. At this moment, he was like a messy and disorderly prey, facing the dark cloud around him, with nowhere to escape.
"You can't do this to me! I hold supreme power in the palace!" He practically roared, his emotions nearly broken, his face filled with unconcealed panic. The chatter and whispers around him surged like waves, leaving him feeling utterly ashamed.
"The future of the palace is far more important than any individual!" Yun Mengting seized the opportunity, her eyes determined, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, arousing everyone's enthusiastic support.
At this moment, the power of truth shone like a dazzling light, igniting hope in the hearts of the people, a light no one could extinguish. Yun Mengting felt a sudden sense of relief, all her past hesitations and anxieties vanishing. She dedicated herself completely to this moment of change, determined to let the light of justice illuminate the entire palace.
The summer sun shone down, seemingly heralding a bright new future. In this tense moment, everyone's faith coalesced into a tremendous force, gradually moving toward truth and justice. Yun Mengting silently vowed: No matter how unpredictable the future, she will stand shoulder to shoulder with this truth and forge her own mission and glory.
