Chapter 197 Undercurrents Surge, the Truth Emerges
As night fell, moonlight streamed through the window lattices into the courtyard of Prince Ling's mansion, its silvery glow pouring down like water, illuminating Yun Mengting's face. She sat in her study, flipping through an ancient medical tome, her heart roiling like the waves of the ocean, restless. Since her rebirth, her heart had been consumed by the fire of revenge, and now, she yearned even more for clues to uncover the cause of Shen Jingxuan's death.
"Mengting, what are you thinking about?" Ling Xuan asked softly, pushing open the door of the study and walking in. His voice was like a warm spring breeze, instantly dispelling the haze in Yun Mengting's heart.
"I'm thinking about Shen Jingxuan." Yun Mengting raised her head, her eyes determined, as if she saw a ray of hope in the darkness. "I think his death was more than just an accident. There must be a deeper conspiracy behind it."
Ling Xuan frowned slightly, walked over to her, sat down, and listened carefully to her thoughts. "Do you have any clues?"
"While looking through some old files, I discovered that Shen Jingxuan had contact with a mysterious chamber of commerce." Yun Mengting's voice was low and firm, as if she were revealing a dark secret. "This chamber of commerce is quite influential within the dynasty, and the transactions involved are often related to power struggles."
"Chamber of Commerce?" Ling Xuan's brows furrowed, clearly shocked by the information. "Are you saying that Shen Jingxuan might be connected to them?"
"Yes." Yun Mengting nodded, feeling a surge of unease. "And I also discovered that the leader of the Chamber of Commerce had close contacts with Lu Xiao. Perhaps there was some kind of deal between them."
Ling Xuan's expression grew even more serious as he realized the complexity of the situation. "If this is true, then we must find evidence as soon as possible to uncover this conspiracy."
"I plan to investigate this Chamber of Commerce and see if I can find more clues." Yun Mengting's eyes flashed with determination, as if lighting a flame in the darkness, "I can't let Shen Jingxuan's death be in vain."
Ling Xuan held her hand, his eyes gentle but firm: "I will accompany you. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we must face it together."
At this moment, the door to the study suddenly opened, and Shen Yuke walked in with a faint smile on her face, but a sinister glint in her eyes. "What are you discussing? You look so serious, it seems like something important."
Yun Mengting's heart tightened, and she quickly put away the medical book in her hand. She smiled and replied, "Nothing, just discussing some medical issues."
Shen Yuke was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Oh, I see. Mengting, your medical skills are really getting better and better. I really admire you."
"Thank you." Yun Mengting was alert and secretly pondered Shen Yuke's intentions. She knew that behind Shen Yuke's gentleness lay deep jealousy and calculation.
"By the way, Mengting, I heard that the Chamber of Commerce of the palace has been in more and more frequent contact with the outside world recently. Have you noticed it?" Shen Yuke suddenly asked, with a hint of concern in her tone.
Yun Mengting's heart was shaken, and she was secretly alert: "I will pay attention."
"That's good." Shen Yuke smiled slightly, but a sinister light flashed in her eyes, "I believe you will find the truth."
As Shen Yuke left, Yun Mengting couldn't help but feel uneasy. She knew that Shen Yuke was not a good person and there might be a deeper conspiracy behind her.
"We must speed up the investigation." Yun Mengting said to Ling Xuan, with a determined light in her eyes. "I feel that Shen Yuke may have some connection with the Chamber of Commerce. We can't take it lightly."
Ling Xuan nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "I will send people to investigate the Chamber of Commerce's movements and find evidence as soon as possible."
Just then, a whisper emanated from outside the study window. Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan exchanged glances, a wave of unease rising in their hearts. Their opponents seemed to have begun to make their move, and the outlines of a conspiracy were gradually emerging.
As the night deepened, Yun Mengting's heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation. She knew that the truth was about to come to light, and her road to revenge would also face new challenges.
Her thoughts were once again interrupted by whispers outside the window. Her heart tightened, and she walked to the window and gently drew aside the curtains. Through the moonlight, she saw several men in black quietly approaching the side door of the palace. Her heart sank suddenly, and she thought to herself that something was wrong.
"Lingxuan, look!" she whispered, pointing out the window.
Ling Xuan quickly walked over to her, his eyes sharp as a knife, observing the movements outside through the window. His face instantly became serious, and he whispered, "We have to go and take a look."
The two of them quickly put on their coats, quietly walked out of the study, and walked along the corridor towards the side door. Yun Mengting's heartbeat accelerated, and she kept thinking about Shen Yuke's words in her mind, and she felt vaguely that this was related to her conspiracy.
When they arrived at the side door, Yun Mengting saw the man in black trying to open the door. Her heart tightened and she immediately grabbed Ling Xuan's hand: "We can't let them in!"
Ling Xuan nodded, a determined light flashing in his eyes: "Let's find a place to hide first, and then take action after they come in."
The two quickly hid in the shadows nearby, holding their breath and quietly observing the movements of the men in black. Among them was a tall man holding a sharp dagger in his hand, looking particularly dangerous.
"Hurry up, don't let anyone find out!" He ordered in a low voice, his voice full of urgency and insidiousness.
Yun Mengting's heart tightened as she secretly wondered where these people came from and why they appeared in the palace. Were they here to avenge Shen Jingxuan's death, or did they have another purpose?
Just then, the men in black finally opened the side door and quietly slipped into the palace. Yun Mengting and Ling Xuan exchanged glances, a wave of unease rising in their hearts. Their opponents seemed to have already begun to act, and the outlines of their conspiracy were gradually emerging.
"We must remain vigilant." Yun Mengting whispered, secretly vowing in her heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would uncover the truth and avenge Shen Jingxuan.
As the night deepened, Yun Mengting's heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation. She knew that the truth was about to come to light, and her road to revenge would also face new challenges.
