Legend of the Embroiderer

Deep in the palace, the night slowly descended like a huge black curtain, covering the entire palace.

When the palace lanterns were first lit, the dim light shone through the delicate lampshades, casting faint and soft rays of light, just like stars falling to the earth.

This seemingly quiet and peaceful night actually hides a silent storm that is quietly brewing.

Su Mengyao, the woman who rose to prominence in the palace with her extraordinary wisdom and fearless courage, is now caught in an unprecedented crisis.

Zhao Wan'er, a favored concubine in the palace, has long been jealous of Su Mengyao's talent and status.

Finally, she carefully planned a sinister trap, trying to frame Su Mengyao for stealing precious treasures from the palace.

The atmosphere in the long, winding corridors of the palace was extremely tense and solemn. The palace maids and eunuchs gathered in groups of three or four, whispering in hushed voices.

Their eyes revealed deep doubt and unconcealable fear, as if they had a premonition that something earth-shattering was about to happen.

Su Mengyao was hurriedly taken by the guards to the palace where the emperor was. Despite being in such a difficult situation, her face remained calm, without a trace of panic.

Those beautiful eyes were clear and firm, revealing a stubbornness that refused to succumb to fate.

Zhao Wan'er was already waiting in the main hall. She was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, with delicate makeup on, and a smug smile on her lips.

When she saw Su Mengyao walk in, a barely perceptible cold light flashed in her eyes.

"The treasure is missing, and now you are the biggest suspect!"

Zhao Wan'er's voice was clear and loud, echoing in the empty hall.

Every word she said was like a sharp arrow shot at Su Mengyao, full of merciless accusations and deep malice.

Su Mengyao looked directly into Zhao Wan'er's aggressive gaze without flinching. Although her voice was calm, the firmness contained in it was as unshakable as a rock: "I didn't do this!"

These few short words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, showing her absolute confidence in her innocence.

At this time, the emperor's brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep furrow.

His sharp eyes kept scanning back and forth between Su Mengyao and Zhao Wan'er, as if he wanted to see through their superficial disguise and directly see the truth of the matter.

The atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly became solemn. The other palace maids and eunuchs held their breath and watched the development of the situation quietly. Everyone was secretly wondering what kind of decision the emperor would make in the end.

Su Mengyao took a deep breath and tried to calm her heart, which was beating rapidly due to nervousness.

She knew very well that in this complicated court struggle, if she could not remain calm and rational enough, she would easily fall into the trap carefully designed by the enemy and lose her last chance of survival.

So she secretly made up her mind to find strong evidence to prove her innocence as soon as possible.

At this moment, Su Mengyao's brain was working rapidly, and she began to carefully sort out all the relevant clues in her mind.

Recall every detail that happened before the treasure disappeared, and do not miss any clues that may have been missed.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Behind this seemingly ordinary treasure theft, there must be a huge and tight conspiracy network hidden.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Su Mengyao did not show any fear.

A strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge drove her to resolutely decide to investigate the matter in depth and to uncover the truth hidden behind the veil at all costs.

Because only in this way can she clear herself of the unjust accusations and at the same time completely expose the mastermind behind all this who was hiding in the dark.

Su Mengyao was dressed in a simple and elegant palace dress, and she moved lightly among the winding corridors of the palace with carved beams and painted buildings.

Her beautiful eyes were like a deep lake, so sharp that they seemed to be able to penetrate all the fog and see every clue hidden in the dark.

During her meticulous investigation, some seemingly insignificant details gradually caught her attention.

The panicked expressions of the palace maids as they whispered to each other, and the strange looks on the eunuchs' faces as they hurried away, made her keenly aware that things were not as simple as they seemed.

These people's words and actions are obviously intended to cover up some important secrets.

"There must be something fishy behind this." Su Mengyao frowned slightly and muttered to herself in a low voice.

Although her tone was gentle, it revealed an unwavering determination, as if no matter what difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would not stop her from uncovering the truth.

At this moment, a palace maid who was usually very close to her came hurriedly and grabbed her sleeve.

The palace maid's face was full of worry, and her eyes were full of concern for Su Mengyao.

"You'd better be very careful! Zhao Wan'er is not someone you can easily mess with."

The palace maid spoke softly, her words filled with deep concern for Su Mengyao's personal safety.

Su Mengyao nodded slightly in agreement, and a hint of determination and perseverance was revealed in the depths of her bright eyes.

Although she knew very well in her heart that she was already in deep crisis at this moment and would be doomed if she was not careful.

But in order to protect her own innocence and uncover the truth hidden behind the darkness, she absolutely cannot retreat.

Su Mengyao began to act, and she took every step very carefully and cautiously. She not only needed to concentrate on collecting those,

He had to find clues that could prove the truth, and also devote some of his energy to being on guard against the crazy revenge from Zhao Wan'er that might come at any time.

Because she knew very well that Zhao Wan'er would never easily let go of anyone who dared to challenge her authority.

Time passed quietly, and with Su Mengyao's unremitting efforts and in-depth investigation, she finally made some progress - she discovered some crucial and extremely critical clues!

What is shocking is that these clues vaguely point to certain powerful people in the court.

What is even more unexpected is that this seems to involve a shocking secret unknown to the royal family.

When Su Mengyao gradually realized that the complexity of this struggle far exceeded her initial imagination, a chill rose in her heart.

Even though the road ahead is full of thorns and obstacles, she is still determined to move forward bravely, vowing to solve all the mysteries one by one.
