The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 55: Game in the Shadows
The atmosphere within the hall was like a boiling pot, poised to explode. Sunlight streamed through the ornately carved window lattices, its vibrant light shimmering on the cyan floor tiles, yet it couldn't dispel the oppressive feeling. Yun Mengting stood in the center, her heart beating like a drum, as if every beat reminded her that today's decisive battle would change everyone's fate.
"Inspector, if possible, I wish to begin an investigation immediately." Her voice was loud and clear, like a sharp sword, piercing the thick silence and echoing in the empty hall. Her hands trembled slightly, and she silently encouraged herself in her heart: This is the moment to uphold justice, and she must not retreat.
"Of course, we will investigate all relevant transaction records as soon as possible." The inspector nodded slightly, his face firm, as if prepared for the coming storm. "Lu Xiao, please cooperate with our actions."
Lu Xiao's face instantly darkened, his eyes gleaming with anger and anxiety. His voice grew hoarse, as if his long-suppressed emotions had finally broken free. "You are being wronged! I have given so much to the palace, and yet I am being treated like this!"
"Unjust?" a young official interrupted rudely, pointing a fierce finger at Lu Xiao. His eyes burned with anger and courage, like a sharp blade piercing Lu Xiao's hidden heart. "How many innocent souls were forced to sacrifice behind your so-called contributions?"
Yun Mengting felt an inexplicable surge of excitement, delighted by the courage displayed by the officials around her. At this moment, she was no longer fighting alone; more courageous individuals were standing up and speaking out. She felt a surge of gratitude towards these like-minded individuals. It was like a huge stone had fallen from her heart, releasing her pent-up emotions.
"You are truly foolish!" Lu Xiao's rage surged like a surging wave, unable to be suppressed. His face was tense, veins bulging, anger and despair intertwined, like a beast cornered. "Do you really think a few documents can shake my foundation in the palace?"
"I don't want to shake anyone's foundation, but the truth must be heard." Yun Mengting's heart surged with anger, her face firm and her gaze unyielding. She took a step forward, staring directly into Lu Xiao's eyes, trying not to appear fearless. She took a deep breath, her voice resonant and powerful: "If Lu Xiao truly cares about the palace, please cooperate with our investigation. The truth is the brightest guide in everyone's heart."
The officials around her were gradually inspired by her, their spirits rising. Some whispered, others looked indignant, and the power of unity brewed and rose in the hall. The trust and support that flowed between their eyes seemed to have formed an unspoken tacit understanding.
"In that case, I will immediately initiate an investigation. All relevant personnel must fully cooperate, and any attempt to interfere with the investigation will be severely punished!" The Inspector waved his hand, and his tone was like thunder, echoing in the hall, shocking everyone's heart.
As the atmosphere intensified, Yun Mengting felt a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. She looked around, seeing every face radiating a thirst for truth. As if unable to suppress her shaky faith any longer, the flame within her heart burned ever brighter. She felt immensely proud—not only of herself, but also of this group of idealistic young officials.
"You will pay the price for your choice!" Lu Xiao seemed to have lost the last of his sanity. His voice was low and slow, tinged with sadness, as if he was desperately searching for a last-ditch counterattack. He looked at everyone coldly, his eyes filled with an all-powerful coldness and fear, like a beast cornered, growling helplessly.
Yun Mengting stared at him calmly, thinking to herself, the battle between justice and conspiracy has begun. Her faith was as firm as a candle; she would never let this struggle be stopped by one person's fear. She pondered calmly, constantly motivating herself to demonstrate fearlessness in this game.
"Truth cannot be suppressed, because it is the most powerful force in everyone's heart." This silent thought surged in her heart. She understood that only by facing it bravely could she overcome her inner cowardice.
At that moment, sunlight streamed through the window lattices into the hall, its orange glow casting a warm glow on everyone's face. Yun Mengting knew that this struggle between justice and darkness had only just begun. Even in the face of immense pressure and unknown challenges, she would hold on to her unwavering faith and forge ahead with this strength.
As time passed, the atmosphere around them grew increasingly tense. Yun Mengting knew the truth was only brewing, eagerly anticipating it would burst forth at some point, cleansing the palace of its taint. Her resolve grew even stronger. Turning around, her gaze as resolute as ever, she silently vowed that no matter how difficult the future held, she would stand hand in hand with justice, until the very end.
