The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy

With Liu Tianjiao's departure, Yun Mengting feels a heavy burden growing even more oppressive. She knows that the current situation not only involves Shen Yuke's safety, but also the future of the palace. In this new world, Shen Yuke is innocent, her presence a shadow, a symbol of past pain and a spark of hope. Yun Mengting's determination to protect her is driven by both sympathy and the need for self-salvation.

"We can't hesitate any longer. We must collect evidence as soon as possible and reveal the truth." Ling Xuan's voice was firm and powerful. His eyes were bright, and he obviously knew that time was running out.

"Indeed, only by winning the trust of the palace can we completely thwart the conspiracy of Chunhua and Liu Tianjiao." Yun Mengting nodded in agreement, her thoughts swirling rapidly in her mind, brewing the next action.

"I will go to my father right away and seek his support." Ling Xuan made the decision without hesitation and stepped forward resolutely.

"Wait a moment!" Yun Mengting called out to him worriedly, whispering, "We must be careful. Liu Tianjiao will never let us go easily."

Ling Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and after realizing the complexity of the matter, his expression became more serious: "Okay, then we need a rigorous plan to ensure the security of the information."

At this moment, Yun Mengting's eyes caught sight of the maidservant nearby. She found her hiding in a corner, disguised as a maid, her face showing a hint of unease. With a sudden thought, she decided to step forward and investigate.

"What are you doing here?" Yun Mengting lowered her voice, her tone alert.

The maid stepped back in fear, stammering, "I... I was just passing by and wanted to hear what you were talking about..."

"Passing by? I don't believe it!" Yun Mengting was merciless. Anger instantly surged in her heart and she was about to ask further questions.

"Your Highness, spare me!" The maid knelt down in fear, her voice trembling. "I... I just want to know what you are planning!"

Ling Xuan quickly helped her up, his eyes becoming softer: "Don't be afraid, tell us what you know, we need the truth."

After a struggle, the maid finally mustered up the courage: "I heard... someone is plotting to create chaos in the palace!"

"Who is it?" Yun Mengting's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she felt a little uneasy.

"I don't know the specific people, I only heard it was... Chunhua and those around her." The maid's voice trembled slightly, clearly terrified by this information. "They have close ties to Liu Tianjiao!"

Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan exchanged glances, their alarm rising sharply. Clearly, things were developing far more complexly than they had imagined. Their web of conspiracy was becoming increasingly tighter, and their target was clearly not just Shen Yuke.

"Okay, we need to continue looking for more evidence." Ling Xuan's determination remained undiminished and he set a new goal.

"I will go and find out Chunhua's activities, and you stay here to protect Shen Yuke and ensure her safety." Yun Mengting decisively proposed a division of labor and clarified their tasks.

"Remember to be careful and don't let them notice." Ling Xuan warned, looking at Yun Mengting with eyes full of concern and trust.

"I will." Yun Mengting responded, thinking to herself that Shen Yuke was obviously an innocent person involved in this power game, and she would not allow her to become a victim again.

The spring night was slightly chilly, and a hint of unease hung in the air. Yun Mengting's thoughts raced, her conversation with Ling Xuan constantly replaying in her mind. Her greatest worry remained Shen Yuke's safety.

She hurried to the backyard, trying to find Shen Yuke. Moonlight shone across the courtyard, shadows drifted, and a tense atmosphere seemed to hang in the air. Passing a garden, she faintly heard whispers and looked up to find a half-open window.

"This time, we must ensure that the plan will not fail." Chunhua's voice echoed in his ears, with unquestionable determination.

"Yes, Liu Tianjiao has already made arrangements, and they'll be effective tonight," another sinister voice echoed, exuding a dark undercurrent. Yun Mengting held her breath, her heart filled with vigilance.

"As long as we disrupt the palace, we can control everything. We must bury those restless hearts deep down!" Chunhua's tone revealed a hint of coldness, which made Yun Mengting furious.

She took a deep breath, thinking that she could no longer hide and must expose their conspiracy. Yun Mengting planned in her mind and decided to confront them head-on.

Just as she reached the window, she caught a glimpse of another figure inside! It was Lu Xiao, chatting and laughing with Chunhua, as if they were allies in a conspiracy. They were actually plotting how to manipulate the situation.

"You are actually colluding with each other!" Yun Mengting was furious and could no longer bear it. She resolutely emerged from her hiding place and faced them.

Chunhua and Lu Xiao were startled by the sound, their faces filled with surprise, as if they hadn't expected her to appear here. Chunhua quickly narrowed her pupils, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.

"Yun Mengting, why are you here?" Chunhua curled his lips into a sneer, as if mocking her stupidity.

"Let me tell you, the palace will never allow any conspiracy to succeed!" Yun Mengting did not back down, and the inner strength had already ignited her fighting spirit.

Lu Xiao smiled contemptuously: "You think you can stop us by yourself? How naive."

"I will definitely protect Shen Yuke. She is an innocent person who should not be hurt!" Yun Mengting responded forcefully, calling for justice firmly in her heart.

Chunhua's expression changed slightly, as if he was surprised by her attitude, but then he sneered again: "Shen Yuke? She is just a pawn in our hands. She may not become the situation you want."

"You must not use her!" Yun Mengting roared in a low voice, her heart in turmoil. Protecting Shen Yuke was not just about her safety, but also about the future of the palace.

"Do you really think you can save her? Can the past between you and her be easily erased?" Lu Xiao asked coldly.

Yun Mengting's heart tightened, and the pain of her past life flashed through her mind. But now she knew she couldn't back down. "No matter what, I won't let her get hurt again!"

Just as the atmosphere, hinting at a confrontation, grew increasingly tense, she suddenly sensed a chilling presence. She became alert and glanced around. Chunhua and Lu Xiao both had cunning smiles on their faces.

"It seems like tonight is destined not to be peaceful." Lu Xiao said slowly, with a hint of threat in his tone.

Yun Mengting was secretly on guard. Now was not the time to retreat. "Whatever you plan to do, I will stop you!" Her voice was firm and resolute.

At that moment, a burst of hurried footsteps could be heard from a distance. Yun Mengting's heart tightened, and she felt the atmosphere was becoming increasingly ominous. Just as she was trying to find the source of the sound, Shen Jingxuan stepped forward, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring intently at Chunhua and Lu Xiao.

"What are you doing here?" His deep voice carried a hint of authority, his hostility undisguised. Shen Jingxuan's deep affection for Yun Mengting in his previous life had not faded with time. Now reborn in the palace, he vowed to be her unwavering support and protect her from further harm.

"Shen Jingxuan, you're here." Yun Mengting breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing him appear beside her, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she no longer felt lonely. "You must be careful, they must be planning something sinister!"
