Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 117: Crossing Revelation 3

In the bustling city of Chang'an, Su Mengyao weaves her way through the throngs of people and cars. After a period of hard work and adaptation, her life gradually gets back on track. However, deep in her heart, an unsolved mystery lingers.

It was a sunny day, with a gentle breeze. Su Mengyao strolled through the market as usual, her gaze casually scanning the dazzling array of stalls. Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a used bookstall. Amidst the slightly messy pile of books, a tattered, yellowed volume loomed. As if drawn by some mysterious force, Su Mengyao involuntarily walked towards the used bookstall.

As she gently picked up the ancient book, a stale aroma washed over her. After carefully leafing through it, she was surprised to discover a shocking secret about an ancient dynasty! This secret not only held the truth about a long-forgotten period of history, but also held a key that could change the course of her destiny.

Su Mengyao's heart instantly began to race, and she could clearly feel the blood rushing through her veins. She knew the immense value of this secret, but she was also acutely aware of the dangers it held. But at this moment, without hesitation, she gripped the ancient book tightly, her palms slightly sweating, her heart brimming with both nervousness and an irrepressible excitement.

"This secret...maybe it really can change everything!" Her voice was low and firm, echoing in the air like a vow. Her beautiful eyes gleamed with determination, as if she had made up her mind to uncover the truth behind this secret and use it to rewrite the chapter of her life.

However, there's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable. It wasn't long before word spread like wildfire throughout Chang'an that Su Mengyao held a crucial secret. Upon hearing this, the city's powerful and influential figures coveted the secret with eager eyes. They dispatched their trusted subordinates to inquire about Su Mengyao's whereabouts, hoping to claim this secret, which could shake the course of history, for themselves.

Faced with such a pressing situation, Su Mengyao clearly realizes that she must not only do her utmost to protect this precious secret, but also cleverly use it to break free from the shackles of fate and achieve self-salvation. A thrilling contest thus begins...

As the pursuit of the powerful becomes more urgent, Su Mengyao begins her escape. She shuttles through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, using her knowledge of modern knowledge to cleverly evade capture. Every escape is full of tension and excitement, and every discovery makes the reader's emotions soar.

On a dark, windy, and utterly silent night, Su Mengyao ran like a frightened deer across the desolate plains. Her clothes were torn by thorns, her hair flying wildly through the air, but she dared not pause for a moment, for the enemy was pursuing her relentlessly. Just as she felt her strength was running out, an ancient temple, seemingly long abandoned, appeared before her.

This ancient temple seemed forgotten by time, its surroundings filled with an air of decay and desolation. Yet, for Su Mengyao, now desperate, it became a lifeline. Without hesitation, she rushed into the temple and quickly found a secluded corner to hide.

Moonlight poured in like mercury through the shabby windows, casting a shadow over Su Mengyao's exhausted, tense frame. Using this faint light, she pulled a yellowed, ancient tome from her bosom with trembling hands. The tome had withstood countless years, its paper brittle and fragile, but the mysterious words within were still legible.

Su Mengyao took a deep breath, gathered her composure, and began to leaf through the ancient book with complete concentration. Every page carried ancient wisdom and unknown secrets. She stared wide-eyed, taking in every detail, trying to decipher the crucial information that could save her life.

Meanwhile, deep within the distant palace, a thrilling power game unfolds endlessly. Various factions clash openly and covertly, engaging in deception and schemes, all for the supreme throne of imperial power. And Su Mengyao's unwitting discovery of a shocking secret about the ancient dynasty is like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

This secret not only gave Su Mengyao a glimmer of hope for a change in her tragic fate, but also made her the focus of pursuit by numerous factions within the palace. Her name and that secret, like sparks on a gust of wind, spread with astonishing speed through the complex undercurrents of the palace. For a moment, the entire palace was shaken, and countless eyes began to closely monitor this previously unknown woman...

Su Mengyao stood quietly in her own bedroom, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance, a gaze so firm and deep that it seemed to penetrate the thick fog and reach the unknown shore. She knew in her heart that everything she was experiencing was only the beginning.

"I know this is just the beginning," she whispered, her red lips parted. There was a faint, almost unnoticeable tremor in her soft voice, but more of it was unwavering faith and fearless courage.

This magnificent palace was like a vast maze, its intricate web of forces like venomous snakes lurking in dark corners, waiting for their turn. Their cold, sinister gazes were constantly fixed on Su Mengyao, the newcomer to the palace.

Especially the powerful and prestigious minister who stood in the distance. His gloomy face curled slightly, a sly smile forming. His voice, filled with malice and mockery, echoed back and forth in the vast hall like a ghost: "Hahahahaha... From now on, all your little secrets belong to us!" These cold words revealed an unmistakable possessiveness and a chilling threat.

Upon hearing this, Su Mengyao's heart sank, a wave of overwhelming unease washing over her like a tide. She mused to herself that the power struggle within the palace far exceeded her initial expectations, its complexity and dangers simply beyond imagination. But even so, she would not easily back down, for she knew that what awaited her would be a series of even more thrilling challenges and sinister schemes. From this moment on, she must be extremely vigilant, becoming even more cautious, and fully utilizing her intelligence and extraordinary courage to face and overcome the difficulties and obstacles that would arise.
