Li Yi and Lin Yue decided to buy some time first and not hand over the Millennium Snow Ginseng easily. They refused the request of the ministers in the court on the grounds that the Millennium Snow Ginseng required special preservation. However, this caused dissatisfaction among the ministers. They began to spread rumors in the court, saying that Li Yi intended to embezzle the Millennium Snow Ginseng for himself and had the intention of rebelling.
Just when Li Yi and Lin Yue were troubled by the ministers' making things difficult.,a mysterious letter appeared in the prince's mansion. This letter was quietly placed in Lin Yue's room. There was no signature and no mark on it. Lin Yue opened the letter and saw that it read,
"Beware of the people around you. Danger is approaching. The secret of the Millennium Snow Ginseng concerns the lives of all people in the world. It must not fall into the hands of evil people. If you want to resolve the crisis, go to the dilapidated temple outside the city as soon as possible to find out the truth."
Lin Yue looked at the letter, full of doubts and worries in her heart. She immediately showed the letter to Li Yi. After reading it, Li Yi frowned.
"This letter is very strange. However, we can't just wait for the worst to happen. Miss Lin, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Yue thought for a moment and said,
"Your Highness, I think this letter might be a turning point. Although we don't know who sent it, we might as well go to the dilapidated temple outside the city and have a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
Li Yi nodded slightly.
"All right, Miss Lin. I'll go with you. But we need to be careful in case it's a trap."
So, Li Yi and Lin Yue, accompanied by a few guards, disguised themselves and quietly left the prince's mansion for the dilapidated temple outside the city.
Along the way, Lin Yue was filled with unease. She didn't know what was waiting for them, nor did she know what secrets were hidden behind this letter. When they arrived at the dilapidated temple outside the city, the temple was completely silent, with only the sound of the wind howling in their ears. Li Yi watched the surroundings warily and signaled the guards to be careful.
Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the dilapidated temple.
"You're finally here."
A person dressed in a black robe slowly walked out from the shadows. He wore a black mask on his face, and his features couldn't be seen clearly. Lin Yue was shocked and instinctively moved closer to Li Yi. Li Yi drew out his sword and said coldly,
"Who are you? Why did you send us this letter?"
The man in the black robe sneered.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you must listen to me. The secret of the Millennium Snow Ginseng is much more complicated than you can imagine. If you don't want the world to be in chaos, do as I say."
Li Yi and Lin Yue exchanged a glance. They didn't know what the purpose of this man in the black robe was, but they knew that the situation had gotten out of their control.
Who on earth is this man in the black robe? What is the secret of the Millennium Snow Ginseng that he mentioned? Can Li Yi and Lin Yue get useful information from him and resolve the crisis in front of them?
