Seeing the soldier break into the Danyan Embroidery House with a long halberd, Meng Zhong shook a cup of hot tea and smiled slowly. Empress Du just returned to the imperial city and hadn't got a seat yet. To put it bluntly, she was just an illegitimate and nameless concubine. How could she compete with Fei Li, who had a solid foundation and had a son?

Fei Li was stunned by the emperor's attitude and didn't fight back in time. Now that she had recovered, she would naturally eliminate the remaining evils of the Dus. Meng Zhong was lucky enough to be connected with the Lis. While dealing with the Dus, he also wanted to step Lin Dan into the mud. This time, he would like to see how Lin Dan could turn the tables.

In the storehouse of the Danyan Embroidery House, Lin Dan's hands were cut back by two soldiers, and she knelt on the ground with force. The leader pointed at a prying box and said coldly, "Lin, how dare you!"

"This box is not ours! You framed us!" said Ruyan angrily, kicking the man who had kidnapped Lin Dan. What was hidden in the box was a piece of Darcy wood. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was found alone, but there was bright yellow silk beside it.

The wood was also called the Sawyer wood. Leaves could nourish silkworms, tree trunks could make furniture, and more importantly, it could be used as a dye. Since the Tang Dynasty, the bright yellow cloth worn by the emperor was rendered with it, so it was a tribute. But now, the piece of wood and the bright yellow satin were hidden in a small folk embroidery house, which was closely related to Empress Du. What would the emperor think if the news spread back to the capital city? His trust in Empress Du, which he had just established, would probably be shattered again.

Ruyan instantly understood that the farce today was not only to deal with Lin Dan but also to deal with her aunt. She had already said that her aunt shouldn't go back to that place where people ate each other and shouldn't be stained with these pickled things. Why did she have to be so stubborn?

Her eyes turned red as if she was about to cry.

"Don't cry, Ruyan. To find your brother first," said Lin Dan in a calm tone.

The leader of the soldiers sneered, "what are you looking for? You have hidden the yellow silk and the wood, and you have committed the crime of treason. No one can escape today. You have to be locked up in the prison! Someone will also catch Mr. Du. You can wait for him in the prison."

Hearing this, Du Ruyan suddenly collapsed, but Lin Dan slightly lowered her head to hide her ruthless expression. Now that things had come to this, she couldn't show any evidence to prove her innocence. She might as well kill all these people and run away with her mother, two concubines, and Cuilan. Those Japanese women were also brought with them. They wandered on the sea with the enemy and knew clearly where there was an island they could live on. When she went to those small islands and was far away from the rule of the Great Zhou, she could do whatever she liked. Even if she was a pirate, it was better than being killed.

Thinking of this, Lin Dan's eyes were full of murderous will. When she was about to break free from the arms of the soldiers and launch an attack, she heard a rush of footsteps from outside.

"Mr. Xiao, you are so rude!" Du Rusong strode in and saw Lin Dan pressed on the ground. His eyes became cold.

"General Du, you're here. We're going to send someone to invite you to the military camp. Now that everyone is here, you don't have to bother us to come here again." the officer named Xiao pointed at the box in the corner and said, "Is this your stuff? Who is this cloth for? Please explain it to Lord. Li in person."
