The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

"Okay, go ahead and tell me everything you know." There was a barely perceptible tremor in Li Jimian's voice. He realized that he might be standing at a turning point in history.

The eunuch nodded and began to slowly recount the forgotten past. Every detail unfolded before Li Jimian's eyes like a picture scroll, making him feel as if he had personally experienced that turbulent period of time.

……

As the night deepened, the candles in the prison gradually went out, but Li Jimian's heart was burning with fire. He hurried back to the meeting hall with the eunuch's testimony and the jade pendant and reported everything to Li Zhi.

After listening to Li Jimian's narration, Li Zhi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly. "Okay, I already know about this. You go to Luoyang immediately, find the two princes, and confirm their identities. If everything is true, we will form an alliance with His Highness Xuanliang and work together for a great cause." There was unquestionable determination in his voice, which was the courage and decisiveness honed by many years of battlefield life.

Li Jimian took the order and left, his heart full of longing and expectation for the unknown. He knew that he was walking on a road full of thorns, but for the future of the country and the will of the late emperor, he was willing to give everything.

……

Luoyang, this ancient city, seems more peaceful under the spring breeze. However, behind this peace, there are countless undercurrents.

Li Jimian led a team of people and quietly entered Luoyang City. They asked around and finally found the hiding place of the two princes. It was a remote courtyard surrounded by dense forests, which seemed particularly quiet.

Li Jimian stood outside the courtyard, staring at the tightly closed wooden door, with an indescribable excitement in his heart. He had finally found the key person who could change the fate of the country.

He took a deep breath and pushed open the wooden door. The courtyard was quiet, with only a few bird calls breaking the silence. He looked around and finally set his sights on the two young men sitting at the stone table.

They were two handsome young men, one gentle and elegant, the other heroic. Their eyes revealed a unique temperament, which was the nobility and pride of the royal family.

Li Jimian walked slowly towards them, his heart full of respect and expectation. "Your Highnesses, I am Li Jimian, the deputy general of General Li Zhi. I have come here to verify your identities." His voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

The two young men smiled at each other, as if they had expected this moment. "General Li, we are the orphans of your late emperor, Xuanliang and Li Wenzhi. We have lived among the people for many years, and now someone finally comes to verify our identities. It is a blessing." There was a hint of emotion and expectation in their voices.

Li Jimian was moved when he heard this, but his years of military experience made him not trust anyone easily. He looked at the two young men carefully, trying to find the truth in their eyes.

The spring sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the glazed tiles of the Daliang Palace, flashing a dazzling light. However, in this magnificent palace, undercurrents are surging, and everyone's heart is hidden in an unknown secret.

Li Yuan, as a concubine in the palace, has beauty and intelligence that no one in the palace can match. However, at this moment, she is sitting in front of the window, frowning, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She has a huge secret in her heart - she has a close connection with Li Wenzhi, one of the orphans of the previous emperor.

"Will Brother Jimian find out the secret between me and Wenzhi?" Li Yuan muttered to herself, twisting her fingers unconsciously. She knew that Li Jimian, Li Zhi's deputy general and her childhood sweetheart, was interrogating the eunuch who claimed to be the eunuch of the late emperor in prison. If the eunuch revealed any information about her and Li Wenzhi, then her and Li Wenzhi's identities would be exposed.

Just as Li Yuan was feeling anxious, the sound of hurried footsteps broke her thoughts. She looked up and saw Li Jimian walking into the room with a tired look on his face.

"Brother Jimian, you're back?" Li Yuan tried to remain calm and greeted him with a smile.

Li Jimian nodded, his expression solemn. "Well, I'm back. Yuan'er, I have something to tell you."

Li Yuan's heart tightened, but she still kept smiling on the surface. "What's the matter? Brother Jimian, please sit down and take a rest first."

Li Jimian shook his head and did not sit down. "Yuan'er, I just interrogated the eunuch in the prison. However, his answers were vague and I did not get any useful information."

Li Yuan felt a little relieved when she heard this, but she still pretended to be concerned. "Oh? Didn't the eunuch say he knew the identity of the late emperor's orphan? How come he didn't get any useful information?"

Li Jimian sighed and frowned. "Yeah, I find it strange too. He kept saying that he knew the identity of the late emperor's orphan, but when I asked him about the details, he always avoided the question and refused to tell the truth."
