Legend of the Embroiderer

Su Mengyao learns from Wu Chen that returning to the modern era requires the "Space-Time Xuan Ji," and she begins to plot how to obtain this crucial artifact. Using her wit and connections with the Crown Prince, she aims to subtly approach the eunuch and gain his trust. She knows this crucial artifact is no easy task, but only by obtaining it can she return to the modern world she loves so much. She faces the challenges of a thrilling treasure hunt.

On a stormy night, her opportunity arrived. Like a cheetah lurking in the shadows, she waited for the moment her prey showed its weakness. Su Mengyao's figure loomed in the dim corridor, her steps light as a cloud, each step seemingly treading on clouds. Yet, even this lightness could not escape the hawk-like gaze of the eunuch Huang Jin. His piercing gaze seemed to penetrate the darkness, capturing Su Mengyao's every subtle movement.

Huang Jin frowned, his suspicions growing like wild weeds. He had a feeling that Su Mengyao's appearance wasn't accidental; there had to be something fishy going on. The situation in the palace was unpredictable, and every little movement could trigger a major uproar. He didn't dare slack off, fearing he'd missed a crucial clue.

He summoned his trusted confidant, Xiao Dezi, and whispered, "Xiao Dezi, keep a close eye on Su Mengyao. Report her every move to me." Xiao Dezi shrewdly agreed, monitoring Su Mengyao day and night. However, Su Mengyao always managed to evade his pursuit. Xiao Dezi returned empty-handed, and Huang Jin's expression darkened, as if a storm were brewing.

That night, the moonlight was like water, and the palace lanterns swayed. Huang Jin once again stood at the corner of the palace gate, looking at Su Mengyao from afar. He took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind: he must uncover Su Mengyao's true face! His eyes were as sharp as a knife, closely following Su Mengyao's every move.

Su Mengyao didn't seem to care about Huang Jin's suspicion. A sneer curled up her lips, and a glint of confidence flashed in her eyes. To survive in this treacherous palace, one must be cautious. Like an elegant cat, she glided lightly between the palace walls, skillfully avoiding Huang Jin's sight.

Deep within the palace, a silent contest unfolds. The battle of wits and courage between Huang Jin and Su Mengyao heightens the tension within. The palace maids and eunuchs discuss the outcome of this battle, speculating on the outcome. Who will ultimately emerge victorious remains a mystery.

The night was as dark as ink, and the palace lanterns flickered. This battle had just begun... Su Mengyao knew she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to take the initiative to control her own destiny. She began secretly investigating Huang Jin's background, searching for his weaknesses.

After a long and tortuous investigation, Su Mengyao finally uncovered the shocking secret between Huang Jin and a concubine, a secret so important that it could completely change their fate.

It turns out that Huang Jin is not as loyal to the emperor as everyone thought, but has an illicit relationship with a concubine. This betrayal is fatal to Huang Jin. If the matter is exposed, his status, reputation and future will be destroyed.

Su Mengyao knew the seriousness of this secret, but she did not reveal the truth immediately. She needed more evidence to ensure that her actions would not have a counterproductive effect.

Su Mengyao's mind flashed with inspiration, and a plan quickly formed in her mind. A sly glint flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. She decided to use this secret against Huang Jin, forcing him to voluntarily hand over the item that was so crucial to her. Only then would she surrender!

Su Mengyao, fully aware of the weight of this secret, meticulously planned her meeting with Huang Jin. On a dark and windy night, Su Mengyao quietly entered Huang Jin's study and spoke with authority, "Eunuch Huang, I have learned your secret. If you wish to avoid ruin, offer me what I want in exchange."

Huang Jin's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Su Mengyao to be so clever, to have found his weakness so quickly. He gritted his teeth, weighed the pros and cons, and agreed to Su Mengyao's request. "Okay, what you want is in my secret room, but you have to swear not to reveal the secret." Su Mengyao was delighted, but she remained calm on the surface. She swore that she would never reveal a single word.

Huang Jin led Su Mengyao into the secret room, then carefully opened a safe and took out an item. It was a crystal-clear jade pendant, exactly the same size as Wu Chen had described. Su Mengyao's hands trembled with excitement as she took the jade pendant, her eyes sparkling with joy. The jade pendant seemed to exude a mysterious aura, filling her with immense excitement. This was the key to her return to the modern era! Su Mengyao clutched the jade pendant tightly, her heart filled with joy and anticipation. She had finally found the key to her return home and was about to embark on her journey home.

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang. This item means a lot to me. I will keep it a secret from now on." She turned and left with brisk steps.

Huang Jin stared at her retreating figure, a subtle cunning flashing across his eyes. As Su Mengyao excitedly stepped out, Huang Jin triggered a mechanism in the room. With a loud rumbling sound, Su Mengyao was trapped inside.

Su Mengyao realized something was wrong and turned to look at Huang Jin, shouting angrily, "You despicable villain! How dare you go back on your word!"

Huang Jin sneered and said smugly, "Haha, do you think I will really give you the things? I am just playing along!"

Su Mengyao stamped her feet in anger, but she quickly calmed down. She looked around, looking for a way to escape.

She noticed a vent on the roof, which might be a good way to escape. Using her Qinggong skills, she leaped onto the roof and tried to push open the vent cover. However, the cover was incredibly heavy, as if sealed by some force. Su Mengyao refused to give up. She concentrated her energy, exerted all her strength, and finally pushed the cover open.

She successfully climbed out of the house, looked back at Huang Jin who was trapped in the house, and said sarcastically: "Do you think you can trap me like this? Let's see!" After that, she disappeared into the night with the jade pendant.

On her way back to her bedroom, Su Mengyao encountered a mysterious man. Dressed in black, he had a stern demeanor, his eyes gleaming with a deep glint. He seemed deeply interested in the jade pendant in Su Mengyao's hand, and he approached her, asking about its origins.

Su Mengyao looked at the man warily, and after a moment's hesitation, she decided to trust his good intentions. She told him about her experience and the magical properties of the jade pendant. After listening, the man frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

"This jade pendant contains powerful power. It's not just a tool for time travel, it also hides many more secrets." The man said slowly, "And you, Su Mengyao, are destined to shoulder the mission of unlocking these secrets."

Su Mengyao looked at the man in confusion, not understanding the meaning of his words. An inexplicable sense of mission gradually surged into her heart. She realized that her adventure had just begun...

"Me? Why me?" Su Mengyao asked in confusion.

The man stared at her, a firm look in his eyes. "Because you are the master of the jade pendant, only you can unleash its true potential. This is also part of your destiny."

Su Mengyao fell into deep thought. She originally just wanted to return to the modern era and live happily with her family, but she didn't expect to be involved in such a mysterious mission.

"What should I do?" She finally raised her head and looked at the man.

"Come with me, I will guide you to uncover the secret of the jade pendant." The man turned around and led the way. Su Mengyao hesitated for a moment, then followed his pace.

They walked into an old library together. The bookshelves were filled with heavy books. The man stopped in front of one of the books, gently pulled it out, and handed it to Su Mengyao.

"This book records some clues about the Space-Time Xuan Ji, which may be helpful to you." He said.

Su Mengyao took the book and flipped open the pages. A storied aroma washed over her. She immersed herself in the text, gradually understanding the immense power and history hidden behind the Spacetime Xuanji. Su Mengyao absorbed every line, feeling as if she were transported to a whole new world. As she leafed through the book, her understanding of the jade pendant deepened, and so did her sense of the weight of the burden on her shoulders.

When she closed the book, her eyes were filled with determination. She looked up at the man and said gratefully, "Thank you, I have a clearer direction now." The man smiled and nodded, indicating that he was willing to help at any time.

Su Mengyao held the jade pendant tightly in her hand and took firm steps. She knew that the road ahead might be full of difficulties, but she was ready to uncover the mystery behind the Xuan Ji of Time and Space and pursue her own destiny.

Su Mengyao left the library and set out on the road back to the palace. Her mind was filled with thoughts, and as she walked, she reflected on everything she had just read in the library. She understood that she shouldered a heavy responsibility and mission, and the journey back to the palace seemed even longer and more difficult.

The moonlight shone on her body, and she held the jade pendant tightly, as if she could feel the power contained in it. As she walked closer to the palace, Su Mengyao's mood became heavier.

She returned to the palace. Standing at the palace gate, she took a deep breath and walked in with a firm step. In the days to come, she would face more challenges and tests, but she was ready and determined to solve the mystery of the Xuan Ji of Time and Space and find her way home.
