Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 118 Ancient Mystery

Guided by the time-space rift, Lily and her team once again traveled to an unfamiliar ancient dynasty. As soon as they landed, they found themselves standing in front of a towering palace, surrounded by bustling streets, full of ancient atmosphere.

"Where are we now?" Old Hu looked around curiously. Seeing that people on the street were all wearing ancient costumes, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "I really have traveled through time this time!"

Lily looked around and saw an ancient signboard with the words "Imperial City of the Great Tang Dynasty" written on it. She was shocked. She didn't expect that she would return to the Great Tang Dynasty in Chinese history.

"We must find the source of the turmoil mentioned by the Time and Space Messenger," Lily said to the team, "in order to resolve this crisis."

They decided to get some information first, so they walked into a nearby restaurant. The name of the restaurant was "Zuixianju", with a big red lantern hanging at the door, and the waiter warmly welcomed them in.

"Dear guests, what would you like to order?" asked the waiter with a smile on his face.

"We'd like to have a pot of good wine first, and then some of your signature dishes," Lao Hu said, motioning the waiter to come closer, "by the way, let me get some information."

The waiter rolled his eyes and smiled even more happily: "Sir, feel free to ask, I will tell you if I know anything."

Old Hu handed him a few copper coins and asked in a low voice, "Has anything major happened in the city recently?"

The waiter took the money, moved closer, and said mysteriously, "The most talked about thing in the city these days is the assassination of the crown prince. Everyone is saying that there is a mole in the palace."

"The prince was stabbed?" Lily asked in surprise, "Have you found out the real culprit?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "No, the prince is still seriously injured and the palace is investigating the matter. But I heard that many ministers in the court are involved behind this."

Lily nodded and signaled the waiter to leave. She turned to the team and said, "It seems we need to enter the palace to find out the truth."

Just as they were discussing countermeasures, a young man in gorgeous clothes came in, looking anxious. When the young man saw Lily, he walked over quickly and said, "Princess, why are you here?"

Lily was startled, then she recognized that it was the ancient version of her good friend in modern times, Master Li. She quickly adjusted herself and said with a smile, "Master Li, long time no see. What brings you here?"

Young Master Li obviously had no doubts and said anxiously: "Your Highness, there is chaos in the palace and the prince has been stabbed. We need your help!"

Lily nodded: "I will return to the palace as soon as possible. Please lead the way."

So, under the guidance of Master Li, Lily and her team successfully entered the palace. The palace was indeed tense, the guards were on high alert, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

They were taken to the prince's bedroom and saw the prince lying on the bed, looking pale and obviously seriously injured. The prince's personal guard told Lily: "The prince was attacked by an assassin while he was sleeping. Although the guards arrived in time, the assassin still escaped."

Lily carefully observed the prince's wound and found a faint trace of black energy. She was moved and asked, "Have you found out the identity of the assassin?"

The guard shook his head: "No, but we found something strange."

The guard took out a strange talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Lily. Lily took the talisman and felt the powerful energy contained in it. She immediately realized that this was definitely not the work of an ordinary assassin.

"There are ancient runes on this spell, which are obviously used to cast some forbidden spells." Lily turned to Mo Li and said, "It seems that the assassin this time is not an ordinary person. We must find the person who cast the spell."

Just when they were at a loss, a masked woman suddenly appeared in the corner of the room. She was agile and approached Lily silently like a ghost.

"You are the ones who are here to save this space and time, right?" the masked woman asked coldly.

Lily looked at her warily: "Who are you? Why do you know our identities?"

The masked woman took off her veil, revealing a cold face: "I am an ally of the Guardian of Time and Space, specializing in tracking down these criminals who disrupt time and space. You need my help."

Lily was delighted and asked, "Do you know the mastermind behind this assassination?"

The masked woman nodded. "A powerful evil cult is behind this assassination. They intend to assassinate the prince and cause civil unrest in the court, thus achieving their conspiracy."

Lily frowned: "Then how should we deal with it?"

The masked woman handed Lily a map. "This is the location of the cult's stronghold. You must go there as soon as possible to destroy their plan."

Lily and her team immediately decided to take action. Along the way, they encountered many traps and enemies, but with wisdom and courage, they finally arrived at the cult stronghold.

In the cult's stronghold, they found a large number of forbidden scrolls and strange ritual items. Just as they were about to destroy these things, a man in a black robe appeared in front of them.

"How dare you trespass into my territory?" the man in black robe sneered.

Lily showed no sign of weakness: "Are you the mastermind behind this?"

The man in black robe laughed: "That's right, but you can't stop me!"

A fierce battle broke out in the cult's stronghold, and Lily and her team fought a life-and-death battle with the man in black robes. In the end, they worked together to defeat the man in black robes and destroyed his plan.

When they returned to the palace, the prince's injuries had improved. The emperor expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Lily and her team and awarded them generous rewards.

"It seems our adventure is far from over." Lily said to the team, "We must continue to move forward and protect the peace of time and space."

They know that no matter how many challenges lie ahead, they will continue to meet them with wisdom and courage. New adventures are waiting for them, and they will never stop.
