In the peaceful daily life of "Ci Yun Tang", there is a turmoil in Li Chung-Shen's heart.
He cannot forget the assassination attempt he encountered while searching for rare herbs. This incident is not only a physical injury to him, but also a spiritual awakening. Li Chung-Shen decides to investigate secretly and find out the mastermind behind the assassin.
In the late night, Li Chung-Shen was having a confidential conversation with a trusted subordinate in his study.
"I need you to find out who sent the assassins that attacked me and Doctor Mo that day," Li Chung-Shen said with determination in his eyes.
The subordinate nodded and promised, "Your Highness, I will investigate as soon as possible."
In the following days, Li Chung-Shen made every effort to maintain a calm demeanor, but his heart was always filled with unease. Whenever he saw Mo Shuiyue's focused figure practicing medical skills, his determination to uncover the truth grew stronger.
At the same time, Mo Shuiyue also sensed something unusual about Li Chung-Shen. One evening, she consulted with Li Chung-Shen in the clinic.
"Master Li, I can tell that you have a lot on your mind lately," Mo Shuiyue said softly.
Li Chung-Shen Looking at the moonlight outside the window, he responded softly, "Yes, I am thinking about some things. But please don't worry."
Mo Shuiyue Staring at him, her eyes filled with concern, "If you need, I am willing to help you."
Li Chung-Shen turned around and looked at her gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Mo. If there is a real need, I will definitely tell you."
A week later, Li Chung-Shen's subordinates brought back some information. They found some clues pointing to a powerful noble in the capital city.
Li Chung-Shen Reading the report, his brow furrowed. "Why would this nobleman target us? We have no quarrel with him."
Mo Shuiyue stood by his side, listening quietly. "This matter seems to be more complicated than it appears, Your Highness. We must proceed with caution."
Li Chung-Shen nodded, "I will arrange for further investigation. But in any case, I will not let anyone harm you."
As the investigation deepened, more secrets gradually surfaced. It turned out that this nobleman was connected to some power struggles in the capital, and Li Chung-Shen and Mo Shuiyue had inadvertently been caught up in this conflict.
Li Chung-Shen realized the seriousness of the situation and decided to confront the nobleman in person. One night, he quietly arrived at the nobleman's mansion.
Facing the nobleman's inquiry, Li Chung-Shen calmly said, "I just want to know why you targeted me and Doctor Mo."
The nobleman looked surprised, then became sly: "Oh? Master Li, you've misunderstood. I have no grudge against you, why would I want to harm you?"
Li Chung-Shen's eyes flashed with sharpness: "Perhaps it's a misunderstanding, but I must investigate. If you are innocent, then all will be well."
After leaving the noble mansion, Li Chung-Shen's determination to uncover the truth grew even stronger. He knew that the struggle was far from over, but he was prepared to protect Mo Shuiyue and reveal the truth behind it all.
Back at "Ci Yun Tang," Li Chung-Shen told Mo Shuiyue about their conversation.
Mo Shuiyue After listening, a look of concern appeared in her eyes: "Your Highness, this matter is extremely dangerous, we must be careful."
Li Chung-Shen Holding her hand, "Doctor Mo, no matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side to protect you."
Mo Shuiyue Looking into his eyes, my heart is filled with gratitude and trust: "I believe in you, Your Highness."
Li Chung-Shen's investigation did not go smoothly. His initial target was the Zhao family, especially Empress Zhao and her son Li Changyu.
However, as the investigation deepened, he began to suspect if this was a trap.
Li Chung-Shen and Mo Shuiyue were discussing in the study late at night. His brow furrowed, and he spoke with a tone of doubt: "I feel that there is a deeper conspiracy behind this case. All the evidence is too obvious, as if someone deliberately left clues to lead us to investigate the Zhao family."
Mo Shuiyue stared at the scattered documents on the table, pondering: "Perhaps someone is really manipulating everything behind the scenes, trying to shift the suspicion onto the Zhao family."
Li Chung-Shen nodded, his gaze firm: "Regardless, we cannot easily come to a conclusion. We must proceed with the investigation more carefully."
Over the next few days, Li Chung-Shen arranged for more manpower and began to carefully comb through every detail of the case. They interviewed the witnesses from that day, reviewed relevant files, and even infiltrated some suspicious locations to search for clues.
However, everything seemed to have stalled until one evening when they discovered a new clue in an abandoned mansion. It had once been the residence of a deceased noble and was now a desolate place.
"Look here," one of Li Chung-Shen's men pointed to a hidden corner where some old items were stacked, one of which looked very familiar.
Li Chung-Shen walked over and carefully inspected the item. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Isn't this one of the weapons used by the assassin that day? How did it end up here?"
With this discovery, they began a more thorough search of the mansion. Ultimately, in a hidden room, they found some important documents, including correspondence between the Zhao family and several other influential families.
"These letters seem to be planning something," said one of Li Chung-Shen's subordinates.
Li Chung-Shen picked up the letters and read them carefully, his expression growing increasingly serious. "These letters seem to imply a conspiracy. It appears that behind this struggle, it involves not only the Zhao family, but also other forces."
They returned to "Ci Yun Tang" with this evidence and analyzed the new findings together with Mo Shuiyue. Mo Shuiyue listened carefully to Li Chung-Shen's explanation, with a worried look in her eyes.
"Your Highness, this matter seems to be more complicated than we imagined. We may be involved in a power struggle in the capital," Mo Shuiyue said softly.
Li Chung-Shen nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "In any case, we cannot let these conspiracies succeed. We must expose the truth."
So, Li Chung-Shen began to investigate more carefully and cautiously, while also strengthening the protection of Mo Shuiyue.
During the ongoing investigation, Li Chung-Shen shifted his focus to the royal family.
Wang Shimeng, as the legitimate eldest daughter of the royal family, has married Second Prince Li Changyu, while the disappearance of Wang Minyi remains an unsolved mystery. Li Chung-Shen suspects that the royal family may have an undeniable connection to the entire conspiracy.
Late one night, Li Chung-Shen is in his study discussing with several loyal followers.
"We need more information about the royal family, especially the activities of Wang Shimeng and her husband Li Changyu," said Li Chung-Shen in a low voice.
One of his subordinates responded, "Your Highness, I have already arranged for someone to monitor the Wang residence. Wang Shimeng seems to have been discussing some matters frequently with the Second Prince recently."
"What about Wang Minyi? Any new leads?" Li Chung-Shen pressed.
His subordinate shook his head. "Since her disappearance, no one has seen her. Her whereabouts remain a mystery."
Li Chung-Shen's brows furrowed, filled with doubt. He decided to personally visit the Wang residence to find out the truth.
The next evening, Li Chung-Shen disguised himself as a merchant and quietly arrived at the Wang residence. His goal was to uncover the secret between Wang Shimeng and Li Changyu, and to investigate the whereabouts of Wang Minyi.
In the garden of the royal palace, Li Chung-Shen overheard a conversation between Wang Shimeng and the Second Prince.
"poetry vine, we must be careful, Li Chung-Shen has started to doubt," said Li Changyu with a hint of anxiety.
"I know. But when it comes to Min-yi, we cannot show any flaws," responded Wang Shimeng.
Li Chung-Shen hid in the dark and felt a pang in his heart upon hearing the conversation. He realized that Wang Minyi's disappearance might be directly related to Wang Shimeng and Li Changyu. He quickly left the Wang residence and returned to "Ci Yun Tang" to discuss with Mo Shuiyue.
In the study, Li Chung-Shen told Mo Shuiyue about the conversation he had overheard. "It seems that Min-yi's disappearance is related to them. We must handle this matter carefully."
Mo Shuiyue's face turned serious. "If it's really them, then this matter is even more complicated than we imagined. Why would they do this?"
"I suspect it's related to the succession to the throne. Li Changyu has always desired to be the heir to the throne, and Min-yi's disappearance may be part of their plan to achieve that goal," mused Li Chung-Shen.
Mo Shuiyue nodded, "So how should we proceed?"
"We need more evidence. In addition, we need to stay vigilant to prevent them from taking action against us," Li Chung-Shen said firmly.
In the following days, Li Chung-Shen and Mo Shuiyue began to investigate the royal family's every move more cautiously. At the same time, they were also searching for any clues related to Wang Minyi's disappearance.
One evening, one of Li Chung-Shen's subordinates hurriedly arrived at "Ci Yun Tang" with important news. "Your Highness, we have discovered a hidden chamber near the palace. It seems to contain important documents."
Li Chung-Shen and Mo Shuiyue immediately went to the secret room. Upon entering the room, they discovered a batch of old letters and documents, which seemed to record secret transactions between the royal family and other factions.
"Look here," Mo Shuiyue pointed to a letter, "This letter mentions Min-yi, it seems her disappearance is indeed related to the royal family."
Li Chung-Shen carefully read the letter, his expression growing increasingly grave. "This letter mentions that Min-yi's disappearance was to divert everyone's attention from the royal family, thereby giving the royal family an advantage in the struggle for the throne."
A hint of sorrow and indignation flashed in Mo Shuiyue's eyes. "So, Min-yi was just their pawn."
"We must bring back this evidence and find the right time to reveal the truth," Li Chung-Shen said decisively.
They carefully brought the documents back to "Ci Yun Tang" and began planning how to expose the conspiracy of the royal family.
The struggle for power in the palace is far from over, but Li Chung-Shen and Mo Shuiyue are ready to face the upcoming challenges.
