The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 6: Secret Deal
As night deepened, the bustle of the market gradually subsided, and the lights on the streets began to fade, as if reserving tranquility for what was about to happen. Yun Mengting and Lin You rested in the teahouse, regrouping, their faith in their hearts like bright stars, twinkling with the light of hope.
The teahouse owner briskly brought two cups of tea, the steam rising from the air making the surrounding atmosphere feel particularly warm. Yun Mengting took a sip, the fragrance of the tea permeating her heart, instantly dispelling some of the tension. She turned to look at Lin You, seeing that her face was still tense, and a hint of haze appeared in her eyes.
"Lin You, don't worry too much. We are not far from victory." Yun Mengting tried to comfort her with a gentle look, and her tone was firm, as if it could dispel the shadows around them.
"I'm just afraid that if everything fails, we will have no way out." Lin You responded softly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Failure is not an option for us," Yun Mengting said, holding Lin You's hand, the warmth of her fingertips conveying a resolute emotion. "We're not fleeing this time to survive, but to clear our name. Think about our goals, think about the future we want to strive for!"
A glimmer of light gradually appeared in Lin You's eyes. Although she was still frightened, she was encouraged by Yun Mengting and her fighting spirit was rekindled in her heart.
"So, how do we find that exile?" Lin You asked, his emotions gradually replaced by hope.
"He must be closely related to the death of the powerful official's son." Yun Mengting mused quietly, mentally calculating her next move. "We can ask the customers here; perhaps they have some clues."
Just after he finished speaking, a middle-aged man at the table next to him in the teahouse raised his glass, seemingly discussing something with his friends. His words were full of anxiety and worry, which attracted Yun Mengting's attention.
"I heard that there has been an exile hanging around here recently. He seems to know a lot of inside information." The middle-aged man's voice was low, and although it was not loud, it was just heard by the two girls.
"As long as we find the right person, maybe we can find out the truth about my escape." Yun Mengting winked at Lin You, and their hearts were instantly close together, as if they had reached a tacit understanding.
"Then go find him right now!" Lin You's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and his heartbeat seemed to accelerate as he made the plan.
The two decided to head to the rumored refugee's hiding place after the crowds dispersed in the market. They once again left the teahouse and embarked on this unknown journey. The moonlight on the street sprinkled on them like water, seeming to cast a layer of light on their determination.
Finally, the clock struck midnight, and the market gradually quieted down. Yun Mengting and Lin You clung to each other as they carefully made their way deeper into the alley.
"Be careful, there's movement!" Yun Mengting's ears were sharp. She quickly stopped and looked at him. The surroundings were silent and quiet, as if something was watching from the shadows.
Then, a thin figure suddenly stepped out from the shadows. His face was blurry, but a sense of oppression could be vaguely felt. Their hearts instantly rose to their throats.
"Are you here to see me?" the man asked in a low and hoarse voice, revealing a sense of mystery.
"Are you... an exile?" Yun Mengting asked quickly, feeling both nervous and excited. Meeting her target made everything seem more real.
"That's right, but my identity needs to be kept secret. Just tell me what you want to say." The man paused slightly, his eyes lingering on them, as if examining their sincerity.
"We want to know about the son of the powerful official," Yun Mengting said bluntly, taking a deep breath and praying silently in her heart. This was the key to whether they could find a way out.
"You've asked the right person about the son of a powerful official. The reason for his murder is inextricably linked to some people around him." There was a hint of complexity in the exile's eyes, and his voice was like a secret wind, full of strategy.
"Can you tell us more?" Lin You asked anxiously, afraid of missing any details.
"You must be careful," the exile said gravely. "Those officers and soldiers will not give up easily. They are extremely cautious in every step. If you want to understand the truth, you must delve into the darkness, even risking contact with those who are truly powerful."
"We are not afraid!" Yun Mengting's eyes shone with determination and courage. She knew she could not retreat.
"Very good, but you must understand that the journey will be extremely difficult and dangerous." The exile nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes. "Follow me, I will give you some clues."
With every step the exiles take in the shadows, their hearts race. Unknown adventures beckon, and fate's wheels quietly turn. Amidst a tangle of tension and anticipation, their story continues. No matter how difficult the road ahead, they will forge ahead together, challenging all odds.
