Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 110 Mengyao Counterattack 2

Deep in the palace, Su Mengyao, dressed in a simple and elegant long dress, moved gracefully between the corridors.

Her bright eyes sparkled with intelligence and determination, as if they could penetrate the thick fog and see the truth hidden behind it.

As the investigation deepened, Su Mengyao found that she was getting closer and closer to the truth, and the road ahead was becoming more and more rugged and bumpy.

Those powerful people in the palace began to get restless, as they knew very well what kind of uproar would be caused once those deeply buried secrets were made public.

One secret order after another came out from the darkness, binding Su Mengyao's hands and feet like shackles, restricting her freedom of movement.

Some even threatened her in secret. Whether she was walking on a quiet path or in a busy palace corridor, there were always pairs of malicious eyes secretly watching her every move.

Su Mengyao felt like a butterfly trapped in a spider web. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape the bondage of this invisible web.

Even though the situation was so difficult, Su Mengyao still had no intention of backing down.

On a dark and windy night, when she was heading to a secret meeting with her informant at the agreed location, a burly guard suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.

The guard's face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a chilling warning: "You can't investigate any further!"

His tone was cold and decisive, carrying an unquestionable majesty and command.

Faced with the guards' obstruction, Su Mengyao couldn't help but feel a little scared.

But soon, she took a deep breath, suppressed her inner panic, raised her head, looked directly into the guard's eyes, and responded fearlessly: "I will not back down!"

Although her voice was soft and gentle, it was like a sharp sword, piercing the guard's heart.

Su Mengyao knows very well that at this moment, the only way to find the key evidence, clear the injustice she has suffered, and completely expose this shocking conspiracy to the world is by moving forward courageously and persevering to the end.

Even if the road ahead is full of thorns and dangers, she will never waver.

Su Mengyao walked slowly alone in the winding, dark and deep alleys of the palace.

The towering palace walls around her were like cold giant beasts, tightly surrounding her.

At this moment, she seemed to be in a huge maze, unable to find the exit or any support.

Her footsteps seemed unusually heavy, and each step was as weak as if she was stepping on cotton.

The anxiety in her heart was like a tangled mess blown by the wind, entangled and intertwined with each other, making it almost impossible for her to think.

Just as despair was gradually devouring her heart, a figure suddenly walked out quietly from the dark shadows.

The mysterious figure stood there quietly, wearing a simple gray robe, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the wind.

He seemed to have completely merged into the shadows, with only his face mostly hidden by the wide cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes sparkling with wisdom.

His voice was low and firm, as if it echoed from deep underground: "Miss Su, don't panic. I am willing to lend a hand and give you a helping hand at this moment."

Hearing this, Su Mengyao's heart trembled violently, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She subconsciously stopped and looked up and down warily at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of her.

The other person had a tall and straight figure, but exuded an indescribable mysterious aura.

"I... I really didn't expect that in this palace full of intrigue and scheming, at such a desperate and helpless moment, I would receive such sincere help from others."

Su Mengyao took a deep breath, trying to calm her heart which was beating wildly due to excessive surprise.

Although she tried her best to restrain the surging emotions in her heart, her slightly trembling voice still revealed her uncontrollable excitement at the moment.

You must know that inside this seemingly magnificent and beautiful palace, there are actually hidden mysteries everywhere and every step is thrilling.

Everyone has their own ulterior motives and ambitions, and the superficial smiles are often just a cover for the conspiracy and calculations behind them.

Su Mengyao had to remain highly vigilant for any sudden offer of goodwill, fearing that she would fall into a carefully designed trap if she was not careful.

At this moment, the mysterious ally's mouth corners slightly raised, slowly sketching out a faint smile that was as warm as the spring breeze and made people feel very friendly.

That smile was like the first ray of golden sunlight shining through the clouds in the morning, gently falling into the depths of Su Mengyao's already exhausted soul, instantly dispelling all the haze and fear in her heart without a trace.

In an instant, she felt a warm current surging from the bottom of her heart and quickly spread throughout her body, causing her originally tense nerves to gradually relax.

When Su Mengyao looked up at him, she was captivated by his deep, lake-like eyes. They were calm, unperturbed, yet they inadvertently revealed a subtle warmth, like the twinkling stars in the night sky—not dazzling, yet bright enough to illuminate the entire dark world. Gazing into those eyes, Su Mengyao couldn't help but be captivated, oblivious to everything around her.

He then slowly said, "We all want to see the truth come out."

It was just a simple sentence, but it rang in Su Mengyao's ears like a huge bell. The power it contained seemed to be able to penetrate the heavy fog and get to the essence of the matter.

Su Mengyao stared at the mysterious man in front of her, and an inexplicable sense of trust surged in her heart.

Since the mysterious ally joined, Su Mengyao's investigation journey has ushered in a major turning point.

The two of them walked side by side, silently shuttling through the little-known corners of the palace.

In those corners covered by the dust of time and gradually forgotten by people, they carefully search for every clue that may be related to the truth.

No matter it is a yellowed piece of paper, an incomplete jade pendant, or a piece of unclear handwriting, it cannot escape their sharp eyes and delicate minds.

In the process, one unknown secret after another was uncovered one by one, just like a painting hidden in the darkness slowly unfolding its true appearance.

What is even more amazing is that this mysterious ally knows so much about the affairs of the court.

Whether it is the intricate interpersonal relationships or the obscure power struggles behind the palace, he can tell them one by one like he knows them all.

His existence not only provides Su Mengyao with a constant stream of extremely valuable information, but more importantly, when facing various potential dangers, he can always stand up in time and give Su Mengyao the most solid and reliable protection.
