Legend of the Embroiderer

The storm that seemed to emerge suddenly from the dark abyss without any warning was like a long-dormant beast, quietly beginning to brew its violent power between heaven and earth.

The emperor, the supreme ruler who was high above and dominated the fate of the entire Celestial Empire, now had raging anger in his eyes, and that anger was like a ball of hot magma, about to erupt.

Just because Huang Quan committed such an unforgivable crime, the emperor's dignity was greatly challenged and impacted.

His command, full of majesty and domineering power, was like a flash of lightning that streaked across the sky. "Arrest Huang Quan, throw him into jail, and investigate his accomplices in detail." This order seemed to carry endless power, and like the sound of rolling thunder, it kept echoing in the ears of Crown Prince Li Zhao. Every word seemed to turn into a sharp sword, piercing his heart.

Crown Prince Li Zhao was fully aware of the importance and urgency of this mission. He resolutely decided to go and capture Huang Quan in person. He wanted to use his actions to defend the emperor's dignity and maintain the peace of the Celestial Empire.

He mounted the vigorous warhorse, tightly grasping the sword that symbolized power and glory, his eyes revealing determination and courage, as if he was ready to face any challenges and difficulties ahead at any time.

The emperor's majesty permeated the palace, and his orders were unquestionable. Crown Prince Li Zhao stood before him, his posture erect and his gaze resolute, yet his heart was turbulent. He knew this was a difficult task, one that not only concerned the dignity of the imperial family but also the safety of the entire Celestial Empire.

"Father, I will live up to your expectations." The deep and powerful voice of Crown Prince Li Zhao seemed to penetrate the layers of air and echoed in this solemn palace.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes as sharp as swords, revealing his unwavering commitment to the will and his deep and ardent loyalty to his father, shining like bright stars.

There was endless determination and responsibility in his eyes, as if he was declaring his oath to the whole world - no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would move forward bravely and would never let down the high hopes and trust his father had placed in him.

No matter how harsh the wind and frost are, or how fierce the fire is, he will stand firm like a towering mountain and demonstrate his loyalty to his father with his actions.

The emperor's deep and majestic gaze was like a burning torch, as if it could see through everything as he stared closely at his son in front of him.

He knew in his heart that the prince was capable enough to complete the crucial task before him brilliantly. However, at the same time, a deep worry quietly spread in his heart like a vine, entwining his heartstrings.

He spoke slowly, "Zhao'er, Huang Quan is known for his cunning and deceitful tactics. He acts like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to strike you deadly at any moment. You must remain vigilant at all times and never let your guard down. You must act with extreme caution and avoid rash actions, lest you fall into his carefully laid traps."

There was a hint of worry in the emperor's tone at this moment, which he himself could hardly detect. That worry seemed to contain deep love and reluctance for his son, as if his heart would suddenly tighten at the thought that his son might be in danger.

Crown Prince Li Zhao bowed deeply and turned to leave. His steps were firm and powerful, each step revealing unquestionable determination. The solemnity of the palace contrasted sharply with his resolute pace, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

Su Mengyao knew the Crown Prince was going to capture Huang Quan, and she was filled with worry for his safety. Her anxiety hung like a dark cloud, obscuring her peace. As the Emperor's son, Crown Prince Li Zhao's safety was crucial to the future of the entire Celestial Empire.

Su Mengyao paced slowly in her slightly cramped, yet exquisitely decorated boudoir. Her already beautiful brows were knitted together, as if enveloped by an invisible cloud of sorrow. Every step she took was filled with a sense of heaviness and unease. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes glittering with a complex light, as if she were pondering something important, or perhaps worrying about some distant, unknowable future.

"Your Highness, you must be careful." Su Mengyao whispered softly, her voice trembling in the air like a butterfly, appearing particularly low and weak.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the worry and fear deep in her heart. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her heart with difficulty.

Her eyes revealed deep worry, which was like a deep lake that seemed to be able to swallow people up, and it made people feel moved.

She stood there silently, fiddling with the corner of her clothes unconsciously, but her thoughts had already drifted far away, to the place where the Crown Prince, whom she cared about the most, was...

With a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her heart, she resolutely embarked on the journey to visit the prince.

As she walked cautiously along the palace path, it seemed as if every step carried with it her concern and longing for the Crown Prince. At this moment, fate seemed to play a trick on her, and she bumped into the Crown Prince, who had just returned from handling business with the Emperor.

Crown Prince Li Zhao's expression, previously calm, froze for a moment upon seeing Su Mengyao, before a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. He knew the reason for Su Mengyao's visit, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He listened quietly as Su Mengyao expressed her concerns, his focused expression reassuring her.

"Mengyao, I know your worries, and I will be careful." Prince Li Zhao spoke slowly, his voice full of determination and commitment.

His words flowed like a clear spring in Su Mengyao's heart, dispelling the haze in her heart. At this moment, the prince's eyes revealed his deep gratitude to Su Mengyao, and his eyes were as bright as stars, illuminating each other's hearts.

He silently swore in his heart that he must protect Su Mengyao and not let her suffer any harm again.

Whether facing the changing situation in the court or the inner struggles and confusions, he would respond with firm belief and fearless courage.

Because in his life, Su Mengyao has become an indispensable existence, her care and concern will always inspire him to move forward.

Ever since Crown Prince Li Zhao solemnly received the emperor's serious and unquestionable order that day, a strong determination surged in his heart, as if a blazing flame was burning in his chest.

He knew very well that this was not just an ordinary action, but a major mission that concerned the safety of the court and the stability of the country.

Huang Quan, as a frontier governor, has always been famous for his outstanding bravery and strategy. However, now he is involved in a terrifying major conspiracy, and the emperor has decisively ordered his arrest.

Faced with such a tough opponent, Crown Prince Li Zhao knew that he had to act with extreme caution and not allow any mistakes. Only in this way could he succeed in one fell swoop and live up to the emperor's trust and the people's expectations.

Crown Prince Li Zhao quickly began to deploy his forces. He first solemnly summoned Wu Chen and his group of renowned elite guards. These guards were rigorously trained warriors, forged of steel. They were loyal to the Crown Prince, brave and fearless, and were the Crown Prince's most trusted force.

Crown Prince Li Zhao slowly stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination. In a steady and powerful voice, he explained the importance and urgency of this mission to everyone. His words revealed an undeniable determination, as if telling everyone that there was no retreat in this battle; victory was the only option.

"Huang Quan is extremely cunning and adept at hiding his tracks. We must not let our guard down and must proceed with caution." Crown Prince Li Zhao's sharp gaze swept across each guard present. "Wu Chen, your investigative abilities are unmatched. This time, you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of tracking down Huang Quan's whereabouts. You must uncover his every move. Guards, come with me. We must work together to apprehend Huang Quan and make him pay a heavy price for his crimes!"

As Crown Prince Li Zhao finished speaking, a tense and solemn atmosphere suddenly filled the entire room. Everyone nodded, expressing their determination to carry out the Crown Prince's orders. A thrilling arrest operation was about to begin.

Wu Chen obeyed the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night. Crown Prince Li Zhao led his guards to set up a dragnet in the palace, preparing to capture Huang Quan. They moved through the palace's secret passages, quietly approaching Huang Quan's hiding place.

In the darkness of the night, Wu Chen discovered Huang Quan's whereabouts and immediately returned to report to the Crown Prince. Upon learning of this, Crown Prince Li Zhao immediately led his guards to Huang Quan's hiding place. They found Huang Quan in a hidden corner of the palace, attempting to escape.

"Huang Quan, you traitor! You are now surrounded by us. Our troops are everywhere. You can't escape. It's best to lay down your weapons and surrender. Don't struggle in vain."

The voice of Crown Prince Li Zhao was exceptionally clear in the silent night, as if carrying a power that could penetrate people's hearts. His words revealed an unquestionable majesty that frightened everyone present.

Huang Quan slowly turned around, his eyes filled with burning anger and deep despair. The despair was like an abyss in the darkness, as if it was going to swallow him up.

He stared intently at Crown Prince Li Zhao and shouted, "Your Highness, I, Huang Quan, have always been loyal to the Celestial Empire and have never had second thoughts. Why do you treat me like this? Why do you insist on killing me?"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Li Zhao's eyes flashed with a sneer of disdain. He raised his head slightly and said contemptuously, "Huang Quan, your crimes have long been exposed. Your so-called loyalty is just a good cover for your betrayal. Today, I will never let you go. I will definitely imprison you in that gloomy and terrifying Sky Prison and let you wait for the court's punishment as a warning to others."

After saying this, the prince waved his hand, and the guards beside him immediately took action, approaching Huang Quan one after another, the weapons in their hands flashing with cold light, as if telling of the coming blood and cruelty.

Huang Quan's face was pale, his eyes still filled with resentment and grief. He knew that he would not be able to escape this disaster today...

Following Crown Prince Li Zhao's orders, the guards quickly moved, surrounding Huang Quan. Despite his fierce resistance, Huang Quan was ultimately overwhelmed by Crown Prince Li Zhao's elite guards. After a fierce battle, Huang Quan was subdued and imprisoned.

The Crown Prince hurriedly stepped forward and said solemnly to the Emperor, "Father, Huang Quan has been successfully apprehended and immediately imprisoned in the heavily guarded Heavenly Prison. He is respectfully awaiting your judgment."

The emperor nodded slightly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and he slowly said, "This time, we must strictly interrogate him and the eunuch Huang Jin together. We must find out the mastermind behind this. We must not let this matter go unresolved."

In this tense atmosphere, a jailer came in anxiously to report: "Your Majesty, the eunuch Huang Jin has died suddenly and mysteriously in that dark and damp prison, just like a ghost."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court fell into a dead silence, as if time had frozen in that moment. This sudden incident was like a heavy stone dropped into a previously calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples that spread continuously, filling everyone present with endless doubt and anxiety.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to respond to this sudden change. The emperor's face also showed an unprecedented pensive expression, as if he was pondering the various mysteries behind this...
