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

The night was thick with darkness. Yun Mengting, Shen Jingxuan, and Shen Yuke huddled together, like three rays of light, trying to find a safe exit from the dark corners of the palace. Outside, the strong wind blew, mingling with an atmosphere of unease, as if this very land itself was brewing some kind of crisis.

"We must find Shen Yuke as soon as possible." Shen Jingxuan gritted his teeth, his tone filled with anxiety and determination. He had just witnessed a chaotic scene. Shen Yuke had been swept away by the sudden commotion and disappeared from sight almost instantly. His concern for Shen Yuke and his protective instincts intertwined in an instant.

"She should be in the East Pavilion..." Yun Mengting felt a sense of unease as she recalled the figure she had lost in the chaos. She sensed the complexity of the situation and worried that it would not just be the missing sisterhood that would follow.

A few hours ago, amid the hustle and bustle of the palace and the crowd, Shen Yuke had said to them with a smile, "I'm fine, you go first." That gentle and stubborn attitude now made her feel extremely painful, as if she was a disguised assassin.

"Hurry! We can't leave her alone." Shen Jingxuan's voice was like a swift alarm bell, awakening Yun Mengting's deep sense of responsibility. Although her feelings for Shen Yuke were becoming increasingly complicated, her blood-thicker-than-water bond made her feel uneasy about her safety.

The three of them rushed towards the East Pavilion, the sound of the wind in their ears like a whisper in the darkness, as if faintly warning them of the impending crisis. Every step brought them closer to unknown danger, yet it was difficult to turn back.

As they rushed into the East Pavilion, the atmosphere inside made them feel heavy. Several maids were whispering to each other, their expressions revealing tension and anxiety. Yun Mengting stopped in her tracks, her heartbeat accelerating, and she felt a faint sense of foreboding.

"You're here..." Shen Yuke slowly turned around from behind. She didn't seem panicked at all, but instead exuded a subtle calmness. Her gentle demeanor was still reassuring, but it also made Yun Mengting feel more alert.

"Are you okay?" Yun Mengting tried to sound concerned, but deep down she felt an unspoken nervousness. She was wondering what kind of decision-maker her seemingly gentle cousin Shen Yuke was.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little worried about you." Shen Yuke smiled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes, as she nonchalantly hid her emotions behind an invisible mask. In that moment, it seemed as if everything was revealed: her gentleness was merely a mask for the jealousy and calculations deep within her heart.

"We need to leave as soon as possible." Yun Mengting, immersed in vigilance, did not delve into it any further and made a resolute decision. The uneasiness in her heart prompted her to act quickly.

"Why?" Shen Yuke asked softly, her voice revealing a seemingly unintentional doubt, but her eyes revealed a hint of provocation and determination. Her cunning elegance made Yun Mengting feel deeply uneasy.

"It's chaos outside. Chunhua and Lu Xiao's pursuers could arrive at any time." Shen Jingxuan responded in a deep voice, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes. "We must protect each other's safety."

At that moment, hurried footsteps suddenly rang out from outside the house. A dark aura bared its fangs, alerting Yun Mengting. "Quick, follow us!" She immediately grabbed Shen Yuke. Although she understood the darkness within her, she still wanted to protect her.

They quickly crossed the room, avoiding the maid's sight, and rushed to the other end of the secret passage. At this moment, the sense of urgency was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping them. Even though she knew Shen Yuke's sinister heart, Yun Mengting still couldn't completely let go of her concern for those close to her.

Once inside the secret passage, the damp air hit them in the face, and echoes echoed in the narrow space, as if their heartbeats were becoming more intense. Their footsteps echoed in the darkness, as if foreshadowing an undisclosed danger.

"Stay alert." Shen Jingxuan's voice was low and alert, giving people strength. He hoped it could encourage them not to retreat in the face of unknown fears.

At the end of the secret passage, whispers occasionally echoed in Yun Mengting's ears like ghosts, making her increasingly uneasy. "We have to speed up. We can't stop."

"After passing through the secret passage, we should be able to reach the secret exit in the back mountain." Shen Jingxuan continued, showing confidence in the crisis.

However, as they advanced rapidly, several shadows gradually emerged from the end of the secret passage. They were the guards led by Chunhua and Lu Xiao. Their faces revealed a cunning smile in the darkness.

"It was such a breeze to find you." Chunhua's voice was like an icy blade, slicing through the approaching darkness. "Did you think you could escape our grasp?"

"What's coming will eventually come." Lu Xiao's low and threatening voice echoed in the atmosphere, "You will pay the price for your ignorance!"

The battle in the shadows has begun, and Yun Mengting's mood is becoming increasingly tense. Facing the scheming hidden behind Shen Yuke's gentleness, she must always remain vigilant and look for possible breakthroughs. Only in this way can she find a glimmer of hope in this struggle full of conspiracy.
