Legend of the Embroiderer

Su Mengyao stood quietly in the dark corner of the archive room. The faint and flickering candlelight stretched her figure out like a lonely silhouette painting.

Her face appeared exceptionally calm in the dim light, and every word that uttered from her mouth was as firm and powerful as a rock:

"Everyone, please believe that I have no intention of offending anyone's interests. I am only pursuing the truth hidden behind the thick fog."

As soon as she finished speaking, a solemn atmosphere seemed to fill the air, mixed with strands of suffocating tension.

I saw her slender fingers gently stroking the thick file in her hand, as if it carried an endless source of power that could give her the courage and motivation to move forward and see the blue sky through the clouds.

At this moment, a cold gaze shot straight at Su Mengyao like a cold knife.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the leader of the mysterious force - a burly man in black.

His hawk-like eyes flashed with a cold light, fixed on the seemingly weak yet unflinching woman in front of him, and said in a threatening tone:

"Su Xiu Niang, ah, Su Xiu Niang, I have to admit that your courage is truly admirable. But there are some things that a person of your lowly status is not qualified to interfere in!"

Although there was clearly a hidden meaning in the other party's words, and even a hint of intimidation, Su Mengyao was not at all overwhelmed by this invisible pressure.

She straightened her spine, raised her head and bravely met the gaze of the man in black, secretly telling herself:

Now that I have taken the first step, I cannot turn back, even if what awaits me is an abyss of no return...

With the appearance of the mysterious force, the conflicts in the whole story were instantly pushed to a white-hot stage.

Originally, Su Mengyao thought that her investigation was just a simple journey to find the truth, but she never expected that it would turn into a thrilling and fierce contest where one move would affect the entire body.

Especially when it came to the unknown secrets deep within the palace, she suddenly realized that the rules of the game behind this life-and-death game were so intricate and confusing, far beyond her initial expectations.

In the winding, deep and silent corridors of the palace, Su Mengyao's footsteps seemed to be pressed down by lead blocks, and each step seemed heavier.

Her originally calm heart was now filled with anxiety, and the inner monologue in her mind surged like a tide:

"I originally thought that my entry into the palace was merely a desperate search for the truth. However, I never expected that I would be drawn into the complex and treacherous vortex of the palace power struggle."

Despite this, there was still an unwavering light shining in the depths of her beautiful eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky. Even though endless unknowns and potential huge threats were waiting for her ahead, she had no intention of retreating.

A mysterious force, like a thick haze, silently enveloped the entire palace, making the atmosphere even more depressing and eerie.

What exactly are their goals? What hidden motives do they have? Everything is hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to grasp.

Su Mengyao knew very well that in this palace that seemed magnificent and glorious but was actually fraught with danger, every slight movement of hers could be like triggering a hidden mechanism buried deep underground, instantly triggering a series of unpredictable and difficult to control serious consequences.

"The danger of this game is far beyond my imagination!"

She silently repeated these words in her heart, and at the same time, her slender fingers involuntarily touched the embroidered bag at her waist, because there was carefully hidden the only key clue she had so far.

In the prosperous and bustling city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the sun shone on the streets and alleys, reflecting a lively scene.

And in a corner of this magnificent city, Su Mengyao is quietly embarking on a thrilling journey of exploration.

It was a sunny afternoon when Su Mengyao strolled along the ancient streets of Chang'an. She accidentally walked into a slightly old antique shop.

The store is filled with the atmosphere of time, and is filled with all kinds of strange and unique items.

Just as Su Mengyao was looking around curiously, an ancient scroll hanging in the corner caught her attention.

The scroll looked quite old, its yellowed paper revealing a sense of history. When Su Mengyao slowly unfolded the scroll, she couldn't help but gasp. The woman depicted in the picture looked exactly like herself and the mysterious woman she had met before!

This sudden discovery was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Su Mengyao speechless with shock.

She widened her eyes, staring at the woman in the painting in disbelief, her fingers gently stroking the delicate brushstrokes, as if she could feel the painter's mood at the time.

"This...how is this possible?" Su Mengyao muttered to herself, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Her heartbeat quickened, and countless questions and conjectures flooded her mind. Who was this woman who looked so similar to her? Why did she appear in this ancient scroll?

At this moment, Su Mengyao's eyes became extremely complicated, showing both an extreme desire for the truth and a deep fear of the unknown.

She felt like she was in a fog, unable to find a way out but eager to explore the mystery.

"Could she really be my previous life?" Once this thought arose in Su Mengyao's mind, it spread quickly like weeds.

She began to involuntarily think about the various possible connections between this woman and herself, and her inner monologue became more intense.

"If my past life was truly connected to this woman, then what unknown secrets are hidden behind all of this? Can those past events, buried by time, ever see the light of day again? I must find out everything!"

Su Mengyao secretly made up her mind. She held the scroll tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

From that moment on, Su Mengyao embarked on the difficult journey of searching for the truth about her past life. She inquired about the origins of the scroll and consulted ancient books and materials, leaving no trace.

Every new clue is like a key, leading her closer to the huge mystery hidden deep in history.

As the investigation deepened, Su Mengyao felt that things were far from as simple as she had imagined...
