Emperor Shen's charming wife

On a stormy night with thunder and lightning, the wind was howling and the big raindrops were hitting the ground violently. A mysterious messenger in black night clothes sneaked into the heavily guarded palace like a ghost. He was agile and cleverly avoided the patrolling guards. Finally, he left a secret letter in a remote corner and disappeared like a ghost. Late at night, Shen Yu and Ning Yao lit a dim oil lamp in the study, and carefully reviewed the mysterious secret letter with concentration and seriousness. When they saw the contents recorded in the secret letter, they both showed extremely shocked expressions on their faces, their eyes widened, as if they couldn't believe what they saw. They knew that this matter was related to the life and death of the country and must be handled with extreme caution. If they were not careful, they would alert the enemy and cause unpredictable consequences. "This matter is of great importance. We must investigate secretly and must not let the news leak out." Shen Yu's face was solemn, his eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his eyes were full of determination and worry. Ning Yao nodded vigorously in agreement, "Yes, if the opposition finds out, they will definitely jump off the wall, and the situation will be even more difficult to control." Her voice trembled slightly, showing her inner tension and uneasiness. So the two decided to secretly investigate, starting with the clues mentioned in the letter, and gradually uncovering the truth about the opposition leader's collusion with foreign forces. With his many years of experience in the palace, Eunuch Li quietly contacted several officials who had been marginalized by the opposition and obtained a lot of indirect evidence from them. Although these evidences cannot directly prove that the opposition leader colluded with foreign forces, they made Shen Yu and Ning Yao more convinced that the opposition leader's behavior was far from being as simple as it seemed. At a carefully prepared palace banquet, Shen Yu remained calm and took advantage of everyone drinking and talking happily to test the opposition leader. "My dear, I heard that many foreign forces have been making moves on our border recently. What do you think about this?" Shen Yu asked the question seemingly casually, but his eyes were fixed on the other party. The leader of the opposition was slightly startled at first, then smiled and quickly responded: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is just a small group of forces making trouble. We just need to send troops to suppress it and it will be settled." Shen Yu raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and continued: "Oh? Really? I don't think this matter is that simple. As far as I know, these foreign forces seem to have a thousand connections with some officials in our country. My dear, do you think there is something fishy about this?" The face of the leader of the opposition changed slightly in an instant, and even a little cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He quickly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am absolutely loyal and have no second thoughts. As for the relationship between those foreign forces and our officials, I really don't know." Shen Yu just smiled and said nothing, but he already had the answer in his heart. Shen Yu and Ning Yao looked at each other and understood each other. The leader of the opposition had obviously revealed a flaw. Next, all they had to do was to find more solid evidence to wipe out the opposition forces in one fell swoop. In the following days, Shen Yu and Ning Yao used the evidence in their hands to systematically divide and disintegrate the opposition forces.
