"Milady! Lady Liu!" In the flickering firelight, A Fu's voice rang out.
"A Fu?" Liu Ying called out in surprise.
"Miss, come quickly with me!" A Fu raised a torch to lead the way. "Lord Su is already waiting ahead with the others."
At the end of the tunnel, they emerged into a clearing that led to an abandoned mansion outside Tianshi Market Camp Howl. Su Jinzhi stood there with a group of people guarding the exit, visibly relieved to see them safe. "You finally made it."
"Jinzhi, how did you…"
"It's a long story." Su Jinzhi took off his cloak and draped it over her shoulders. "I discovered that this secret passage was left by the ancestors of the the Yu Family. They built it to ensure safety, specifically leading to Tianshi Market Camp Howl."
"The mechanisms of the the Yu Family are truly everywhere," Xu Yuan remarked with admiration.
Just then, the sound of galloping hooves echoed in the distance as a cavalry unit rushed towards them. Leading them was Lord Zhang, the father of Zhang Yunfeng from the the Zhang Family.
"We have fulfilled our duty!" Lord Zhang dismounted swiftly. "We have already taken control of the Xu family's private soldiers, and the Empress has issued an order for the Imperial Guard to surround Xu Manor!"
Everyone was taken aback. "So that means…"
"Exactly." Su Jinzhi nodded. "In fact, I sent evidence of the Xu family's collusion with the Rebels to the Empress an hour ago. And…" He pulled something from his pocket—it was the fallen Bronze Mirror!
"The mirror!" Liu Ying exclaimed in delight as she took it, only to find that its surface had cracked.
"Don't worry," Su Jinzhi said. "Look closely at this crack."
By the firelight, they noticed that the cracks on the mirror perfectly aligned with the terrain of Tianshi Market Camp Howl! Most intriguingly, the center of the cracks pointed directly to an abandoned shrine within the camp.
"This is…"
"The mechanism of the the Yu Family," Xu Yuan pondered thoughtfully. "The mirror shattering is not a bad thing; it reveals a true secret instead?"
At that moment, an unusual phenomenon appeared in the sky. In Tian Shiyuan, stars flickered and formed a peculiar pattern.
"It's time!" Liu Ying declared. "We must go to the shrine immediately. The Xu family has likely discovered this secret as well."
"No need to go." A chilling voice interrupted them. Madam Xu emerged from the shadows with her remaining assassins. "Since you are all here, let's go meet King Yan together!"
"Stop!" Another voice rang out as the Empress arrived with her Imperial Guard.
Madam Xu's face turned ashen. "Your Majesty…"
"I have always said that some secrets are not for you to touch," the Empress's authoritative voice echoed. "At this point, do you still refuse to confess?"
"Confess?" Madam Xu suddenly laughed maniacally. "The root of disaster that could not be eradicated twenty years ago will not succeed today either!" She suddenly hurled an object forward.
"Be careful!" Xu Yuan recognized that it was the poisonous smoke of Fragrant Cold Powder!
However, Liu Ying was already prepared. She raised the Bronze Mirror, using the moonlight to reflect its surface. Suddenly, the mirror emitted a dazzling light, and the poisonous smoke was dispersed by the gusts of air!
"This is the the Yu Family's mirror..." Madam Xu murmured, "No wonder, no wonder back then..."
"Take them away!" The Empress waved her hand, and the Imperial Guards immediately apprehended Madam Xu and the others.
"Your Majesty." Liu Ying stepped forward, "The secret in the ancestral hall..."
"Go ahead." The Empress nodded, "It's time for the truth to be revealed to the world."
Under the moonlight, everyone walked towards the ancestral hall. This night was destined to be extraordinary; a secret buried for twenty years was finally about to unveil its last veil.
Standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Liu Ying felt a strange sensation rising within her. It was as if she could hear her grandfather's gentle voice: "Child, everything is about to be revealed..."
