The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

As the night deepened, the Jin Palace was brightly lit, a scene of prosperity. Li Zhi, the owner of the Jin Palace, was standing at the gate, personally welcoming an important guest, Xuan Youlian. His arrival undoubtedly added a touch of mystery to the Jin Palace.

Xuan Youyan, a man of noble status and elegant demeanor, came to the land of Jinwang Mansion with generous gifts. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts, and his smile was gentle, but it hid an unspeakable power. His arrival made everyone in Jinwang Mansion feel an inexplicable pressure, as if there was an invisible force pushing them.

Li Zhi looked at Hyun Woo-ryeon with a complicated look in his eyes. He knew that the arrival of this guest was not just a simple visit, but also a contest of power and a competition of scheming. However, he still maintained the demeanor of a host and greeted Hyun Woo-ryeon with a smile.

"Lord Xuanyou, I'm honored that you can visit the Prince of Jin's Mansion!" Li Zhi bowed, his tone full of respect.

Xuan Youyan smiled and said, "Master Li Zhi, you are too polite. I came here to visit you and discuss major issues. I hope we can work together to create brilliance."

Hearing this, Li Zhi pondered in his heart. He knew that Xuan Youlian's words were not groundless, and he must have an ulterior motive for coming this time. However, he also understood that cooperating with Xuan Youlian might bring more opportunities and strength to the Jin Palace. So, he smiled and responded: "Master Xuanyou is right. Our Jin Palace has always maintained an attitude of openness and cooperation, and is willing to seek common development with all forces. As long as you are sincere, we will definitely work together to create brilliance."

The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, all suspicion and defense disappeared. They knew that no matter what calculations and plans they had in their hearts, at this moment, they needed to maintain superficial harmony and friendship.

Xuan Youyan was arranged to stay in the guest room of the Jin Palace, and Li Jiba was responsible for entertaining him. Li Jiba, the son of the Jin Palace, was usually cynical, but he always showed his intelligence and adaptability at critical moments. He warmly received Xuan Youyan, prepared a sumptuous banquet for him, and personally poured wine and served him food.

However, in this grand banquet, there was a figure who deliberately avoided Xuan Youyan's sight. That was Li Yuan. Although she was in the palace, she always remained vigilant and on guard against Xuan Youyan. She knew that this man was of noble status and had deep scheming. His arrival would inevitably bring a storm to the Jin Palace. Therefore, she chose to deliberately avoid him so that he would not notice her presence.

As night fell, Li Yuan came to the courtyard of the palace alone. She looked at the bright moon in the sky, and an inexplicable thought surged in her heart. She knew that although she was in the palace, she always kept an eye on and understood the outside world. She was eager to get more news about Chang'an, and to know what happened in that distant and mysterious city.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, a familiar figure quietly appeared in her sight. It was Xu Jingyi, who walked gently to Li Yuan's side and whispered, "Yuan'er, you are here. I just have something to tell you."

Li Yuan was delighted when she heard this. She knew that Xu Jingyi had always been an important channel for her to learn about the outside world. So she hurriedly asked, "Jingyi, do you have any news to tell me? Is it about Chang'an?"

Xu Jingyi smiled and said, "Yuan'er, you are really smart. I do have some news about Chang'an to tell you. But before that, I want to ask you a question."

Li Yuan was slightly startled when she heard this. She didn't know why Xu Jingyi asked her such a mysterious question, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Xu Jingyi looked into Li Yuan's eyes and asked in a low voice: "Yuan'er, what do you think of Xuan Youlian?"

The sun shines through the clouds and dapples on the bluestone slabs of the Jin Palace, adding a touch of warmth to this ancient mansion. However, behind this tranquility, there are hidden secrets and undercurrents.

Xu Jingyi, a young man in gorgeous clothes, hurriedly stepped into the gate of the Prince of Jin's Mansion. His eyes flashed with anxiety and worry, as if he came with some important news. He walked through the complicated courtyard and went straight to Li Yuan's residence.

Li Yuan was sorting books in the house. When she heard Xu Jingyi's footsteps, she raised her head and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. She stood up, walked over, and asked softly, "Jingyi, you are in such a hurry, is there something urgent?"

Xu Jingyi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Yuan'er, I just got the news that Xuanliang intends to support Hai Lian as emperor and call on all the loyal Tang people in the world to resist Cheng Yuanshui together."
