Legend of the Embroiderer

Su Mengyao's beautiful big eyes were wide open, and her eyeballs almost fell out of her sockets.

Her face was filled with astonishment, her lips slightly parted, a low cry of surprise came from her throat, and she stared at the ancient scroll in her hand in disbelief.

The scroll looked quite old, the paper was yellowed, the edges were worn, and the writing on it was blurred.

But such a seemingly ordinary scroll seemed to have a mysterious magic that firmly captured Su Mengyao's mind.

She subconsciously took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart a little.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the waves in her heart were like surging waves, hitting her heart one after another and could not be calmed down at all.

Su Mengyao was in a secret room deep in the palace. It was dimly lit, cold and damp, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

The air was filled with a strong smell of oldness and decay, which was nauseating.

The walls were covered with dense spider webs, like hideous and terrifying ghost faces.

The ground was covered with thick dust and fine stones, and every step you took would raise a cloud of dust.

However, all this did not attract Su Mengyao's attention at all.

Her eyes never left the scroll in her hand, as if she and this mysterious scroll were the only ones left in the world.

Gradually, as she read the contents of the scroll in depth, an astonishing secret was revealed before her. It turned out that the woman who looked exactly like her was actually her past life!

What shocked Su Mengyao even more was that she seemed to have been involved in a major event in the palace in her previous life.

This incident is so intricate and complex, like an enormous web that tightly entangles the fate of countless people.

As a key link in this web, what role will she play? And how can she break free from the shackles of fate...

"How is this possible..." Su Mengyao muttered to herself in disbelief, her voice trembling unconsciously due to excessive shock.

She bit her pale lower lip tightly, as if trying to suppress the surging emotions in her heart.

The pair of originally delicate and beautiful hands were now slightly clenched into fists, with a faint white tint at the joints due to excessive force. This subtle movement showed that she was going through a fierce struggle and a firm decision in her heart.

Although the facts before her eyes were like a bolt from the blue, shocking her to the point of being unable to breathe, deep in her heart, there was always a faint but persistent voice echoing:

No matter what, we must find out the truth behind all this!

So, with this determination and indomitable spirit, Su Mengyao devoted herself wholeheartedly to the study of the ancient scroll.

As time went on, her exploration became more and more in-depth, and the complexity of things was far beyond her initial imagination.

Those past events that were ruthlessly buried by the long years were like a series of blurred, incomplete and mysterious paintings, constantly flashing and intertwining in her mind.

Every new discovery is like a key clue to solving the puzzle, leading her step by step to the core of the bottomless mystery.

However, just as Su Mengyao was concentrating on finding the truth, her shocking discovery caused an uproar in the palace.

The various forces that had been lurking in the dark and ready to make moves finally began to notice her every move.

For these dormant forces, Su Mengyao's behavior was undoubtedly like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original balance and tranquility.

They knew very well that if they allowed Su Mengyao to continue digging deeper, once all the secrets were made public, it would bring immeasurable shock and impact to the entire palace and even the country.

Fear and anxiety began to spread rapidly among these forces, and a battle centered on Su Mengyao and the truth she sought had quietly begun...

"Su Xiu Niang, you've gone too far." Suddenly, a deep voice came from a dark corner. Su Mengyao turned abruptly and saw a mysterious court official hiding in the shadows.

His face was mostly obscured by darkness, with only a pair of eyes flashing with menace visible.

Su Mengyao met the other person's gaze without fear and said coldly: "I am just pursuing the truth. No matter how far it takes, I will not stop."

After saying this, she looked down at the scroll in her hand again and continued to explore the buried history.

Su Mengyao's figure appeared particularly resolute in the dim candlelight, and her eyes, bright as stars, were now shining with fearlessness.

Although she knew that she had stepped into a dangerous game, her inner courage and persistence in seeking the truth drove her not to back down.

"I must know the truth, even if it means paying with my life!"

Her voice was not loud, but it carried an unshakable power, as if it was a cry from the depths of her soul.

She bit her lips tightly and looked straight ahead with a firm gaze. The unyielding determination in her eyes was moving.

As Su Mengyao investigates the mystery more and more, she gradually realizes that she is trapped in a huge vortex with no bottom.

The secrets that were originally hidden in the dark gradually surfaced, and her shocking discovery not only made her a key figure in the court that various forces competed for, but also pushed her to an unprecedented brink of life and death.

In the winding, deep and quiet corridors of the palace, Su Mengyao moved forward cautiously like a light cat.

With every step she took, she could feel that there seemed to be countless unknown traps hidden under her feet, and if she was not careful she would be doomed.

Even in such a dangerous environment, she did not show any hesitation or fear.

At this moment, a mysterious palace maid appeared behind Su Mengyao like a ghost.

"Mrs. Su Xiu Niang, your discovery has attracted the attention and interest of too many people." The palace maid said in a low voice, with a hint of imperceptible sympathy in her tone.

Her figure was shrouded in darkness, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with strange light, staring closely at Su Mengyao.

Su Mengyao clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she seemed unaware of the pain.

Her eyes gazed into the distance, as if the answers she was looking for were there.

At this moment, she was struggling fiercely in her heart, but in the end, her determination was as unshakable as a rock.

"I absolutely cannot retreat! Even if endless darkness and immense danger await me ahead, I will never stop."

She whispered softly, and those gentle words were like a breeze blowing across the lake, seemingly insignificant, but in fact they contained a great power.

Every word was like a flame bursting from the depths of her soul, burning with unyielding determination.

She knew very well that since she started the investigation, she had already touched the interests of those who were hiding in the dark and holding great power in the palace.

They were like poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to strike her deadly blow at any moment. But even so, she chose to move forward without hesitation.

Because she understood that if she gave up at this moment, all her previous efforts would be wasted, and the truth would be buried forever in the dust of history.

No matter how rough the road is, no matter how powerful the enemy is, she will grit her teeth and, while protecting herself, explore the truth shrouded in mystery step by step.
