Legend of the Embroiderer

After a long period of contemplation and repeated weighing of the pros and cons, Su Mengyao finally made up her mind.

She took a deep breath and said softly, "I have decided that no matter what awaits me ahead, I will uncover this historical event that has been buried by the years.

Because it is not only about personal honor and disgrace, but may also affect the future fate of the Tang Dynasty."

The maid who had been waiting beside her couldn't help but look worried when she heard this. She lowered her voice carefully and asked:

"Miss, have you really thought it through? Once you get involved, I'm afraid you'll never be able to get out..."

Su Mengyao turned around slowly, her eyes bright and sharp, revealing a fearless courage and determination.

"Don't worry, Xiaodie. Now that I know the truth about this matter, I can no longer turn a blind eye or let it go. Even if it means encountering numerous obstacles or even sacrificing my life, I will not hesitate!"

Su Mengyao's tone was firm, without any hesitation or retreat.

As the two were talking, a sudden commotion erupted from outside the palace. It was faint at first, but soon became clearer.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out like raindrops, mixed with the crisp sound of metal colliding with each other.

Su Mengyao's heart trembled, and she instantly realized that the situation was not good. Her face suddenly changed, and her hand, which had been tightly gripping the parchment, unconsciously tightened a little.

"Oh no, it looks like a coup has already happened!" she exclaimed in a low voice.

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of killing outside, shouting and crying one after another, and the whole palace fell into chaos.

"Hurry, follow me!" Su Mengyao shouted to the maid beside her without hesitation.

Before she finished speaking, she had already nimbly and carefully hidden the crucial parchment in her arms, then reached out and grabbed the extremely sharp sword placed on the side.

His movements are smooth and seamless, swift and powerful, and his every gesture exudes a fearless courage and resolute momentum.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the study, they were met head-on by a group of aggressive rebels. In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely tense, as if even the air had frozen.

However, facing such a dangerous situation, Su Mengyao showed no fear. She held the sword tightly in her hand. Her hand turned slightly white due to excessive force, but her eyes were still as firm as a rock, without any sign of cowardice.

Because she knew very well that she must not retreat at this moment. Every decision she made was not only related to her own life and death, but was more likely to affect the future destiny of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Su Mengyao's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the night sky and echoing around.

Her voice was clear, loud and full of energy, and it contained an irresistible majesty, like a thunderbolt striking directly at the rebels.

Hearing Su Mengyao's question, the rebel leader smiled coldly at first, and then said in a disdainful tone

"Su Mengyao, ah, Su Mengyao, you have always been smart and clever. I believe you should know that today's changes are definitely not something you can control alone. He who knows the current situation is a hero. I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs, so as not to bring trouble upon yourself!"

In response to the rebel leader's threatening words, Su Mengyao simply snorted.

A subtle scorn flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she righteously retorted:

"Although I, Su Mengyao, am a woman, I also know the weight of the word 'loyalty and righteousness'. Since I have run into today's incident, I must intervene no matter what!"

As her clear and resolute words slowly dissipated in the air, Su Mengyao was seen holding a long sword and rushing into the enemy camp as fast as lightning.

Her posture is extremely agile and her movements are decisive and neat. Every time she swings the sword in her hand, it seems to carry a determination to face death and a shockingly powerful force.

Following closely behind Su Mengyao was her loyal maid. The master and servant stood closely against each other with their backs to each other, and in perfect harmony, they launched a thrilling, life-and-death battle with the vicious rebels.

At this time, the terrible news about the coup d'état quickly swept across Chang'an City like a gust of wind. Su Mengyao knew that the situation was extremely critical and that if she did not take action immediately, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, her petite but tough figure quickly shuttled under the cover of the inky black night, and every step she took was filled with an endless sense of urgency to escape.

At this moment, the only thought in Su Mengyao's mind was to find a trustworthy and reliable ally as soon as possible, and work together to uncover the unknown truth behind this shocking coup.

"We must leave this place immediately!" Su Mengyao turned to the maid beside her and said anxiously.

Although her voice trembled slightly, the determination contained in it did not diminish in the slightest, even though her own heart was beating as violently as a drum due to fear and tension.

"That's right, Miss. Chang'an City has now become a dangerous place with many dangers. We must find ways to find someone who can lend us a helping hand!" The maid nodded solemnly.

In this way, the master and servant carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers all the way, and chose to pass through the winding and extremely narrow alleys.

Fragments of long-forgotten history kept flashing through Su Mengyao's mind. These memories were like flickering flashes of inspiration, guiding her to find the key figure who could unlock all the mysteries...

Suddenly, a group of fully armed and majestic soldiers appeared on the road ahead.

They marched in neat and powerful steps, holding gleaming weapons in their hands. Their stern faces and sharp eyes made people shudder.

Su Mengyao's heart trembled violently, and her face turned pale as paper. At this critical moment, she displayed extraordinary calmness and courage.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the maid beside her, and with a flash of her body, like an agile cheetah, she quickly hid in a narrow and dark alley nearby.

Although Su Mengyao's heart was beating rapidly due to nervousness, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, her mind remained unusually calm and clear.

She knew very well that every decision she made could very likely affect the life and death of both of them.

"We must never choose to confront these soldiers head-on!" Su Mengyao said in a low voice, her tone firm and steady.

In this dark corner, her beautiful eyes were as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky, revealing an amazing light of wisdom.

So, the two of them tiptoed around the group of soldiers like ghosts.

Every step Su Mengyao took seemed extremely cautious, as if she was not stepping on ordinary ground, but a dangerous path full of thorns and traps.

It was with this innate keen intuition and extraordinary intelligence that she successfully led the maid through the intricate alleys.

After a difficult and tortuous journey, they finally arrived at the gate of a house that looked rather dilapidated and desolate.

The house is surrounded by weeds and the walls are mottled and peeling, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

"Here lives a highly respected old minister who was once my father's closest friend."

Su Mengyao explained softly to the maid, and a spark of hope flashed in her eyes as she spoke.

"I believe that if we can meet him, he will do his utmost to help us out of this predicament."

The door of the house slowly opened, and a white-haired old man appeared at the door. His eyes revealed surprise, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Su Mengyao," the old man's voice trembled. "I know why you're here. Come in, we have a lot to discuss."
