Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 395 Discovering the Conspiracy, Skillfully Navigating the Situation

With their keen insight, they sensed a new danger.

Despite the numerous difficulties, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling were not blinded by the fog of conspiracy. They calmly analyzed every detail, trying to find clues.

Xiao Ling observed the words and actions of the other ministers in the court and noticed that some of them had a hint of smugness in their eyes.

"These people's expressions are strange; they seem to be waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves," Xiao Ling thought to himself.

In her interactions with other noblewomen, Su Jinxiu noticed that some seemingly unintentional remarks contained hidden meanings.

"I've been hearing some strange hints lately, and that's no coincidence."

They began a secret investigation into the source of these anomalies.

Xiao Ling used his connections in the court to secretly gather information.

"Keep an eye out for any unusual activity lately."

Su Jinxiu then selected reliable people from among the servants of the Marquis's mansion and had them gather intelligence outside.

"Be careful not to get caught."

After some effort, they finally discovered some clues.

It turns out that the masterminds behind those conspiracies were secretly colluding with enemy countries.

"No wonder the situation has become so complicated; it turns out there is collusion between insiders and outsiders."

Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu knew that this conspiracy was far more dangerous than any they had encountered before.

Their actions also alerted the conspirators.

"They seem to have realized this and are accelerating the implementation of the plan."

The Marquis's mansion once again encountered a series of troubles.

The mansion's valuables were stolen, and some important documents also disappeared.

"This is cutting off our escape route."

Meanwhile, in the palace, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling also faced various difficulties.

"Your explanation is simply unconvincing."

But they were not defeated by these setbacks; instead, they became even more determined to expose the conspiracy.

Just then, Xiao Ling received news that spies from the enemy country were about to launch a riot in the capital.

"We must stop them; we cannot allow the capital to descend into chaos."

Su Jinxiu also discovered evidence that the conspirators were preparing to frame the Marquis's family for treason before the emperor.

"What a vicious plan."

Before the enemy could act, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling began to skillfully maneuver, attempting to thwart the enemy's plans.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling knew that time was of the essence; they had to disrupt the enemy's plans before they could launch a fatal attack.

In the imperial court, Xiao Ling deliberately released some ambiguous information to mislead the conspirators.

"I heard that the border war has become intense recently, and a large amount of supplies are needed."

This caused the conspirators to misjudge the situation, and cracks began to appear in their originally well-laid plans.

Su Jinxiu cleverly sowed discord among the ladies who were colluding with the conspirators at their gathering.

"I heard she's been getting very close to a certain magistrate lately, and it seems she's hiding something."

The once united ladies began to distrust each other and no longer wholeheartedly supported the conspirators.

However, their actions did not escape the enemy's notice.

"What tricks are these two up to? We must not let them ruin our plans."

The enemy intensified their surveillance of them and accelerated the pace of their plot.

Xiao Ling discovers that his trusted confidants have been bribed by the enemy. He then turns the tables and uses his confidants to pass on false intelligence to the enemy.

"Follow this plan and everything will be foolproof."

The enemy believed it to be true and adjusted their deployment based on the false intelligence.

Su Jinxiu used her influence in the palace to get close to the emperor's favorites and subtly remind him to be careful of the people around him.

"There seems to be some unrest in the palace lately; Your Majesty should be extra careful."

Although the emperor did not express his opinion explicitly, he was already on guard.

Just as the enemy was preparing to carry out their final plot, they discovered that their preparations had encountered numerous problems.

Why haven't the supplies arrived yet?

Why is the personnel allocation so chaotic?

Meanwhile, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu had already quietly won over some neutral ministers, preparing to expose the conspiracy at a crucial moment.

"As long as we stand united, we will surely thwart their conspiracy."

But the enemy would not give up easily; they decided to gamble everything and launch their conspiracy ahead of schedule.

"We can't wait any longer, let's take action now."
