Chapter 185 Obtaining Key Intelligence (Continued)
Finally, one night, Yun Mengting was struck by timely intelligence. She learned the details of Shen Yuke and Lu Shizi's conspiracy and knew now was the perfect time to act. She immediately summoned Xiaomei and instructed her to prepare sufficient personnel, planning to infiltrate Ningjing Courtyard the following night to uncover Shen Yuke's true intentions.
Under the bright moonlight, Yun Mengting felt tense and filled with anticipation before the upcoming secret meeting. She was determined to leave no room for compromise in this contest.
As night fell, moonlight cast a shadow over the tranquil courtyard. Yun Mengting and a small group of guards quietly entered the courtyard, hiding under the shade of the trees, waiting for the details of the conspiracy to surface. Her mind was constantly revolving around how to completely obtain the key evidence against Shen Yuke and Lu Shizi. She had to let the prince know that her counterattack was not just for defense.
Soon, she could faintly hear the conversation between Shen Yuke and Lu Shizi. Yun Mengting quietly approached, trying to catch their conspiracy.
"The princess is still in the palace. Once she finds out about our actions, all our efforts will be in vain." Prince Lu's voice was low and helpless.
"I know, as long as we reach an agreement tonight, we don't have to worry about her interference." Shen Yuke's voice was full of confidence and calculation, as if everything was under control.
Yun Mengting was shocked in the darkness. Their plan was to use this opportunity to stir up trouble. If she could obtain detailed information about this plan, she could thwart their conspiracy.
Just as she was about to move closer, another unexpected event struck. Her footsteps made another noise, which indeed caught the attention of Shen Yuke and Lu Shizi.
"Who is it!" Shen Yuke suddenly stopped, her voice filled with anxiety and vigilance, and she looked around quickly, trying to find the source of the sound.
At that moment, Yun Mengting's heart tightened. Without a second thought, she quickly retreated, trying to conceal her presence. Her heartbeat quickened, and the whispers and footsteps in her ears mixed into a suffocating atmosphere of tension.
"Quick, check!" Prince Lu's voice was calm and decisive, and he had obviously realized that there might be enemies nearby.
Yun Mengting knew the situation was serious and she had to leave this dangerous place immediately. She lowered her body and quietly retreated, trying not to make any noise. She almost used all her strength, constantly urging herself in her heart: "I must not be discovered!"
However, she was rapidly calculating what might happen next. Shen Yuke and Prince Lu's plan was absolutely crucial to her and the palace's future. If she missed this opportunity, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety. While escaping was important, she couldn't just retreat; she needed more intelligence.
In the shadows, Yun Mengting calmed down and decided to take another route, going around to the edge of their field of vision, looking for an opportunity to listen further.
"We can't let our guard down anymore." Shen Yuke's voice was still loud and clear. "The princess has interfered with our plans, but we can't back down. We must not fail in tonight's meeting!"
Yun Mengting was shocked when she heard these words. She knew exactly what they were plotting. If she wanted to expose their conspiracy, she had to obtain solid evidence to convince the prince.
At that moment, Yun Mengting sensed movement behind her, the sound of approaching footsteps, and her heart tightened once again. A serious, low-pitched discussion drifted to her ears, and she watched silently from the shadows. However, just as she was contemplating her next move, a violent argument erupted from nearby, shattering the tranquility of the night.
"Go and see!" Prince Lu's voice was anxious, as if he had made up his mind.
Yun Mengting realized the situation was urgent. If she didn't seize this opportunity, she would likely lose the chance to track them down. Without giving it any time to think, she immediately decided to follow, silently praying that they wouldn't find her.
She moved quickly, using the moonlight as a cover as she approached slowly. The sounds in her ears became clearer and clearer. Among the shadows of the trees in the quiet courtyard, Yun Mengting felt a strong sense of urgency, as if things were moving towards a tense climax.
"Prince Lu, we must reach an agreement tonight, otherwise everything will be over!" Shen Yuke's voice was filled with absolute determination. "We can't allow the princess to interfere. We must take action immediately!"
"I understand. You plan it well, and I will try my best to circumvent her surveillance." Prince Lu responded, his voice revealing some hesitation and urgency.
"You must carry out this order!" Shen Yuke said, her tone more resolute. "I have prepared the conditions for peace talks. We have received important support. We must make things clear tonight."
Yun Mengting listened carefully, alarm bells ringing in her heart. She knew that if what Shen Yuke said was true, their plan would be a huge crisis for the palace.
As their conversation deepened, Yun Mengting decided to get to the bottom of the matter and hear the crucial evidence herself. She gradually approached the light, feeling fear but also a greater sense of responsibility.
At this moment, the air in the quiet courtyard was filled with a sense of urgency, as if a storm was about to break out. Escape was not an option. Facing the challenge before her, she secretly mustered her courage and prepared to uncover the truth behind this conspiracy.
Just as she was about to approach, Yun Mengting's heart began to panic. She heard the ancient wooden door creak open, and a figure flashed by. It was Shen Yuke, whom she had been secretly monitoring. With a shudder, she realized her chance was right before her. Only a decisive battle could save the palace.
"Shen Yuke, I will never let you succeed..." She muttered to herself, her gaze fixed firmly on the front, ready for the impending confrontation. She no longer hesitated, resolutely deciding to act, seizing the opportunity to uncover the truth.
