New Crisis and Conspiracy

With the revelation of Li Yi's secret identity, Lin Yue and Li Yi became even more cautious in their actions. However, the seemingly peaceful prince's mansion still couldn't avoid a new round of crises. This time, the source of the crisis turned out to be a powerful minister in the court - Zhao Hong, the Minister of Rites. Zhao Hong had always been dissatisfied with Li Yi. He was jealous of Li Yi's prestige in the court and the emperor's trust in him. After learning of Li Yi's secret identity, he thought he had found the perfect opportunity to bring Li Yi down.

Zhao Hong secretly colluded with an evil force in the martial arts world. This force was notorious for its expertise in assassination and creating chaos. They planned to create chaos and expose Li Yi's identity at an important banquet held in the prince's mansion, pushing Li Yi into an abyss of destruction. To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Zhao Hong bribed a captain of the guards in the prince's mansion to act as an inside man during the banquet.

At the same time, Lin Yue noticed that the atmosphere in the prince's mansion was somewhat unusual. She found that recently, some strange - looking people had been lingering around the prince's mansion, and the guards in the mansion also seemed a bit restless. Lin Yue told Li Yi about her doubts, and Li Yi was also deeply concerned. He began to strengthen the security of the prince's mansion and secretly investigate the source of these abnormal situations.

During the preparation for the banquet, Lin Yue and Li Yi were busy dealing with various matters while keeping an eye on the surrounding situation. Lin Yue, using her medical knowledge, prepared some first - aid medicines for the banquet just in case. She also specifically told the servants to be vigilant and pay attention to safety. Li Yi personally selected a group of loyal and reliable guards to strengthen the patrol and guard of the banquet venue.

However, Zhao Hong's conspiracy was more complicated than they had imagined. He not only arranged for assassins to carry out the assassination at the banquet but also prepared a forged piece of evidence that detailed Li Yi's identity and his plan to rebel. Once this evidence was made public at the banquet, Li Yi would be unable to defend himself.

On the day of the banquet, the prince's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the guests came to the banquet one after another. Lin Yue and Li Yi forced themselves to remain calm and greeted the guests at the door. Zhao Hong also came to the prince's mansion with a group of attendants. He had a fake smile on his face and greeted Li Yi and Lin Yue, but a hint of imperceptible pride flashed in his eyes.

After the banquet began, everything seemed to be going smoothly. The dancers were dancing gracefully on the stage, and the guests were drinking and having fun 台下. Lin Yue, however, remained vigilant all the time. Her eyes kept scanning the crowd, paying attention to everyone's actions. Suddenly, a commotion broke the peace of the banquet. A group of black - clad men rushed in from all directions, wielding weapons and attacking everyone they saw. The guests were panicked and fled in all directions.

Li Yi immediately drew his sword and fought against the black - clad men. Lin Yue hid aside and, using her wisdom and courage, helped the injured guests and servants. She bandaged the wounds of the injured while observing the situation. She found that these black - clad men seemed to be targeting Li Yi, and their goal was very clear.

In the chaos, Zhao Hong stepped forward and shouted loudly,

"Li Yi, as a remnant of the previous dynasty, you actually attempt to rebel. Today is your death day!"

As he spoke, he took out the forged evidence and showed it to everyone. The guests were shocked when they heard Zhao Hong's words and cast suspicious glances at Li Yi.

Li Yi was furious. He knew that he had been tricked by Zhao Hong. While fending off the attacks of the black - clad men, he shouted to explain,

"This is all Zhao Hong's conspiracy. He is framing me!"

However, in this chaotic situation, no one was willing to believe his words. Lin Yue watched Li Yi in trouble and was extremely anxious. She knew that she had to come up with a solution quickly to help Li Yi get out of the predicament.

Suddenly, Lin Yue had an idea. Taking advantage of the chaos, she quietly slipped to Zhao Hong's side. Zhao Hong was looking at Li Yi triumphantly and didn't notice Lin Yue approaching. Lin Yue suddenly attacked and used the self - defense techniques she had learned to subdue Zhao Hong. She shouted loudly,

"Everyone, don't be deceived by Zhao Hong. This evidence is forged by him! He is the real conspirator!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Yue's words. Zhao Hong struggled to break free from Lin Yue's control, but Lin Yue held him tightly. Taking the opportunity, Li Yi launched a counter - attack. He led the loyal guards and repelled the black - clad men one by one. In front of everyone, Lin Yue exposed Zhao Hong's conspiracy. She took out the letters of Zhao Hong's collusion with the black - clad men to prove Li Yi's innocence.

When Zhao Hong saw that the matter had been exposed, his face turned extremely pale. He knew that his plan had failed. He looked at Lin Yue and Li Yi angrily,

"Just you wait. I won't let this go so easily!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Yi's guards subdued him. This crisis was temporarily resolved, but Lin Yue and Li Yi knew that Zhao Hong would not give up easily, and the road ahead of them was still full of challenges.
