Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 108 The Vortex of Intrigue 3

In the palace, Su Mengyao was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, moving gracefully between the palaces.

This extremely intelligent and fearless woman went through untold hardships and, with her extraordinary wisdom and courage, finally lived up to everyone's expectations and found the legendary national treasure, the Night Pearl.

Su Mengyao carefully held the night pearl that emitted a mysterious light and was so dazzling that it was breathtaking in her hands, and walked slowly into the magnificent Golden Throne Hall with light and firm steps.

Her beautiful face was filled with confidence and joy, because she knew that the successful completion of this mission would bring great glory to the country and would also elevate her status in the court.

However, just when Su Mengyao was joyfully thinking that all difficulties and obstacles had been overcome and everything was about to end smoothly, an unexpected disaster suddenly struck like a storm.

Those sinister political enemies in the palace watched helplessly as Su Mengyao became famous for her many outstanding achievements.

Her status was becoming increasingly prominent, and they couldn't help but feel jealous. So they racked their brains, secretly planned and laid an extremely sinister trap, waiting for Su Mengyao to fall into it.

When Su Mengyao respectfully presented the night pearl to the emperor, the political enemy who had been lurking in the dark waiting for the opportunity suddenly jumped out.

He pointed at Su Mengyao and shouted, "You daring thief! How dare you steal our national treasure and use it to frame loyal and honest people! Today I will expose your true colors and make you receive the punishment you deserve!"

The roars of the political enemies echoed in the empty hall like thunder, deafening.

There was a smug light flashing in his narrow eyes, and a barely perceptible sly smile hung on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already secured victory.

Faced with this sudden and severe accusation, Su Mengyao felt her heart sink suddenly, as if a huge wave had been set off.

But she had been through many storms, and the strong power deep in her heart made her calm down quickly. Although her face was slightly pale, she still maintained her calm and elegant demeanor on the surface.

Su Mengyao knew very well that this thrilling contest not only concerned one's own life and death, honor and disgrace, but also involved the stability of the entire court and the fate of countless loyal officials and righteous men.

No matter what, she must keep a clear head and use her intelligence to uncover the ugly conspiracy hidden behind her political opponents.

"The truth will eventually come out!" Su Mengyao's crisp, firm and powerful voice resounded throughout the palace, like a thunderbolt splitting the sky.

Her beautiful eyes stared straight at the political enemy in front of her, without any intention of retreating.

With these powerful words, Su Mengyao took a step forward fearlessly, approaching her political enemy step by step.

Her petite yet upright figure exudes a powerful aura that cannot be ignored.

She first slowly took out a night-shining pearl emitting a mysterious light from her arms, and then systematically revealed the true origin of this night-shining pearl to everyone.

It turns out that it was not obtained through improper means as falsely accused by political opponents.

Then, Su Mengyao used her clever words to describe in detail how her political enemies cleverly exploited the intricate network of power relations in the palace.

He carefully planned and implemented a series of sinister and cunning schemes in an attempt to put himself in an irretrievable situation.

Her words were like sharp swords, piercing the hearts of her political opponents.

Her logic was so precise and impeccable that everyone present could not help but marvel at it and began to re-examine this seemingly simple but actually profound event.

The emperor, who was high above, couldn't help but frown, and his majestic gaze kept moving between Su Mengyao and his political enemies.

As Su Mengyao's account deepened, his opponent's face grew paler, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. It was clear that his painstakingly crafted conspiracy was being ruthlessly exposed bit by bit.

In this magnificent and beautiful Tang Dynasty palace, the name Su Mengyao instantly became the focus of people's heated discussion.

With her amazing wisdom and extraordinary courage, she not only successfully recovered the national treasure, the Night Pearl, but also cleared herself of the grievances and severely struck down the arrogance of those people with ulterior motives.

Even the emperor, who always looked down on others, looked at this extraordinary woman differently and secretly admired her in his heart.

The emperor made a decision on the spot to promote Su Mengyao to a high position in the palace and give her more power and great responsibilities.

Su Mengyao stood quietly in the magnificent hall, facing the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

In her beautiful and deep eyes, two completely different emotions were intertwined: determination and worry.

She opened her red lips slightly and said slowly in a voice as clear and sweet as a yellow oriole singing in a valley, "Your Majesty, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility."

These words were like a flash of lightning across the silent night sky, causing a slight echo in this solemn and dignified palace.

The emperor nodded slightly in agreement. His wise and sharp eyes gazed at the graceful and elegant woman before him, revealing undisguised trust and eager anticipation.

"I have every confidence that with your talents and strategies, you will be able to properly address all challenges."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the entire hall seemed to be immersed in a solemn atmosphere.

His words were like a heavy mountain, pressing down on Su Mengyao's weak shoulders. Although they were full of recognition and respect for her abilities, they also inevitably brought her greater psychological pressure.

As the dust settled on Su Mengyao's new status, she suddenly realized that she had been caught in a more complicated and confusing vortex of court struggles.

Nowadays, her every move is closely watched, and any slight mistake in any decision may shake the foundation of the entire court.

And every action put into practice may become a target for others to attack at any time.

Su Mengyao had to be extremely alert and deal with the new challenges that followed one after another with great caution.

During this period, Su Mengyao had to face far more difficulties than this.

The jealousy and hostile gazes that followed her like a shadow within the palace were like thorns in her back, making her dare not let her guard down at any time.

Various forces from the outside world are also watching covetously. They use threats, inducements, or sweet words to try to drag Su Mengyao into the abyss of no return.

Su Mengyao, who has experienced many hardships, knows that only by keeping a calm and clear mind and sticking to her unswerving will can she seek a glimmer of hope for survival in this dangerous environment full of dangers.
