The Mysterious Letter and the Unknown Threat

Lin Yue and Li Yi were discussing countermeasures in the study, but they were completely unaware of Liu Er's secret surveillance. Li Yi paced back and forth, his brows furrowed as he pondered the situation in the imperial court. He stopped and looked at Lin Yue, saying,

"Miss Lin, the influence of these ministers should not be underestimated. We must come up with a way to deal with this situation as soon as possible."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said,

"Your Highness, perhaps we can show our loyalty to the emperor. At the same time, we can demonstrate the benefits of modern medicine so that the emperor can understand that we have no ill intentions."

Li Yi nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Yue's idea. But he still had concerns in his heart. After all, the emperor's thoughts were hard to fathom, and the situation in the court was complex. One false step could lead them into an abyss of no return.

Just then, a guard of the prince's mansion suddenly rushed into the study, holding an unsigned letter in his hand. He knelt on one knee and presented the letter to Li Yi, saying,

"Your Highness, this letter was just found at the gate of the prince's mansion. The person who delivered the letter was very mysterious and left right after putting down the letter."

Li Yi and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Li Yi opened the letter, and it read, "Beware of those around you. A crisis is approaching. If you want to resolve it, quickly seek the Millennium Snow Ginseng." The handwriting was crooked, obviously deliberately disguised. Li Yi and Lin Yue looked at this mysterious letter, filled with doubts and concerns in their hearts. The Millennium Snow Ginseng was an extremely rare medicinal herb that grew in extremely cold places. It was said to have the effect of bringing the dying back to life. But why did this letter ask them to seek the Millennium Snow Ginseng, and why did it say to beware of those around them?

Lin Yue instinctively moved closer to Li Yi. Her hand tightly grasped the sleeve of Li Yi's robe, and a trace of fear showed in her eyes.

"Your Highness, what does this letter mean? Is there really danger around us?"

Li Yi gently patted Lin Yue's hand and comforted her,

"Miss Lin, don't be afraid. No matter what the threat is, I will protect you. Maybe someone is deliberately testing us, or maybe there is really danger. We must be cautious in our actions."

In order to find out the truth behind the letter, Li Yi immediately arranged for the guards of the prince's mansion to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the letter deliverer. At the same time, he began to search for clues about the Millennium Snow Ginseng. Lin Yue didn't idle either. She used her medical knowledge to search for records about the Millennium Snow Ginseng in the medical books of the prince's mansion, hoping to find some useful information.

However, some strange rumors began to spread in the prince's mansion. Some people said that Lin Yue was a witch and that the modern medicine she brought was sorcery that would bring disaster to the prince's mansion. Others said that Li Yi intended to rebel and that his collusion with Lin Yue was to subvert the imperial court. These rumors spread wider and wider, and the servants' eyes were filled with fear and suspicion when they looked at Lin Yue and Li Yi. Lin Yue felt wronged in her heart. She looked at Li Yi with tears in her eyes,

"Your Highness, I never thought I would bring so much trouble to the prince's mansion. These rumors..."

Li Yi gently wiped away her tears and said,

"Miss Lin, don't care about these rumors. I believe in you. We will get through this difficult time together."

And Liu Er, seeing the spread of these rumors in secret, felt secretly delighted. He thought that his plan was succeeding step by step. As long as he added more fuel to the fire, he could completely push Lin Yue and Li Yi into a desperate situation. He began to spread more negative news about Lin Yue and Li Yi in the prince's mansion and even deliberately created some small accidents to make the servants believe these rumors even more.
