Emperor Shen's charming wife

Shen Yu and Ning Yao took advantage of the night and quietly sneaked into the palace. In order not to attract attention, they quickly changed their clothes and dressed up as ordinary guards. Shen Yu stood tall, but lowered his head slightly, deliberately restraining his momentum. Ning Yao seemed a little nervous. She followed Shen Yu carefully, looking around constantly. Relying on their past familiarity with the topography of the palace, they shuttled between the deep corridors and palaces. Every step was taken with extreme caution, for fear of attracting the attention of others. With the secret assistance of Eunuch Li, they gradually discovered the secrets hidden in the palace. It turned out that there were many secret passages in the palace that were connected to each other. These secret passages were winding, some were narrow and could only accommodate one person, and some were relatively spacious. The oil lamps on the wall emitted a faint light, making the entire secret passage look gloomy and terrifying. This must be the secret of the mysterious leader's ability to move quickly in the palace without being noticed. On a dark and windy night, the palace was silent, and Ning Yao and Shen Yu were on patrol. Ning Yao's eyes were sharp, not missing any details. Suddenly, the figure of a palace maid aroused her vigilance. The palace maid seemed to be in a hurry, and her behavior was sneaky. Ning Yao's heart tightened, and her intuition told her that this person was not simple. They immediately stopped the palace maid, and after a period of interrogation, Ning Yao's guess was indeed confirmed. The palace maid was actually a traitor. From her mouth, they obtained more valuable clues about the whereabouts of the mysterious leader. However, in a subsequent operation, Shen Yu encountered an accident. A cold arrow shot from the darkness, and Shen Yu was unable to dodge and was seriously injured. His wound was bleeding profusely, and the situation was extremely critical. Ning Yao was not at all flustered, and quickly tore off the corner of her clothes to bandage Shen Yu's wound, while observing the surroundings with sharp eyes and protecting Shen Yu. With Ning Yao's timely rescue and comprehensive cover, Shen Yu was finally out of danger. This thrilling experience deepened the relationship between the two and brought them closer to each other. After rounds of rigorous investigation and thrilling battles of wits, Shen Yu and Ning Yao gradually found and cleared out the traitors in the palace one by one, ensuring the basic safety of the palace. The atmosphere in the palace is no longer as tense and depressing as before, and there seems to be a hint of relaxation. However, just when they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief and take a break, Shen Yu suddenly received a shocking news. It turned out that the neighboring country was in chaos due to the violent internal turmoil, and it was no longer possible to provide them with support as originally planned. This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, making their just-relaxed mood heavy again. The expected external help turned into a bubble, casting a thick shadow on the upcoming final battle and adding new uncertainties. After Shen Yu learned of the unrest in the neighboring country, he was anxious and immediately convened an emergency meeting to re-plan the strategic layout. He knew that the situation had changed suddenly and the final battle could only rely on his own strength. At the same time, he decisively decided to strengthen the defense inside and outside the palace to prevent any accidents. Ning Yao took on the responsibility of reviewing all the people in the palace, vowing to ensure that there were no spies lurking in the palace. She used psychological tactics and meticulous observation to not miss any subtle words and deeds of everyone, trying to find clues from them. During the review, she noticed a senior general who seemed loyal, but his behavior was a bit strange.
