While everyone in the prince's mansion was busy dealing with various crises, Lin Yue accidentally discovered an astonishing secret about Li Yi. One day, when Lin Yue was organizing the ancient books in the study of the prince's mansion, in search of a medical classic, she groped on the top - most layer of the bookshelf. By accident, she triggered a mechanism. The bookshelf slowly moved, revealing a hidden compartment behind it. There were some strange symbols engraved on the hidden compartment. Out of curiosity, Lin Yue tried to open it. After some exploration, the hidden compartment finally opened slowly.
Inside the hidden compartment were some yellowed letters and an ancient family tree. Lin Yue picked up the letters, and the content on them shocked her greatly. It turned out that these letters were related to Li Yi's secret identity. The letters mentioned that Li Yi was not the biological son of the current emperor, but a descendant of the previous dynasty's royal family. When the previous dynasty perished, Li Yi's parents, in order to protect him, sent him to the current prince's mansion. He had been living there incognito ever since. And the current emperor was one of the main figures who overthrew the previous dynasty. Although he seemingly showered Li Yi with favor on the surface, in fact, he had always been suspicious of Li Yi and secretly monitored his every move.
Lin Yue held the letters, her hands couldn't help trembling. She couldn't believe what she saw, and her heart was filled with doubts and worries. Just then, Li Yi entered the study. When he saw the letters in Lin Yue's hand, his face instantly turned pale.
"Miss Lin, how... how did you see this?"
Li Yi's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Yue looked up at Li Yi.
"Prince, is... is this true?"
Li Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Yes, this is my secret identity. I've never dared to let anyone know about it."
Lin Yue felt mixed emotions in her heart. She didn't know how to face this fact.
Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, his eyes full of worry.
"Miss Lin, will you distance yourself from me because of this?"
Lin Yue looked into Li Yi's eyes and said firmly,
"Prince, I don't care about your identity. What matters is your character. I believe you are a kind - hearted and responsible person."
Hearing this, Li Yi was deeply touched. He held Lin Yue's hand.
"Miss Lin, thank you. You are the first person I trust so much."
However, the exposure of this secret identity made both Lin Yue and Li Yi realize that the crisis they faced was even more complex. If this secret were to be leaked, not only Li Yi's life would be in danger, but the entire prince's mansion would also be plunged into an abyss of destruction. They had to find a way to keep this secret and at the same time deal with the threats from the court and other forces.
To ensure that the secret was not leaked, Lin Yue and Li Yi put the letters and the family tree back in the hidden compartment and set up more stringent protective measures. They started to act more cautiously, every move made with great care, for fear of arousing suspicion. During this process, their relationship also went through a profound test and became even more unbreakable. Li Yi knew that he had to find a countermeasure as soon as possible, not only to protect himself and Lin Yue, but also to safeguard the safety of everyone in the prince's mansion. He began to secretly contact various forces, trying to find allies to jointly confront the impending crisis. And Lin Yue was also striving to improve her medical skills, hoping that at a critical moment, she could use her medical skills to help Li Yi and the people in the prince's mansion.
