Chapter 601 Assassination in the Palace
It was just dawn in the Imperial Master's Mansion. Lin Che sat quietly at the table, supporting his chin with both hands, staring deeply at an ancient star map in front of him. The map was dotted with silver light and full of mystery.

There was a barely perceptible sign of fatigue on his face; last night's investigation had consumed a lot of his energy.

"Grandmaster, the court meeting is approaching, you..."

A maidservant called out softly, but under the deep gaze of the Imperial Master, she fell silent involuntarily.

"It's okay. I understand."

Lin Che waved her hand gently, and the maid retreated.

He stood tall, his green robe fluttering in the wind, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

In the court, the struggle between powerful officials and the upstarts becomes increasingly intense.

Among them, there was a new upstart named Shen Yuan who stood out because he appeared to be submissive but had ulterior motives.

Originally a wealthy family in the Jiangnan area, he was suddenly promoted with his modest achievements, but this attracted a lot of suspicion and hatred.

Many people have suggested that the Imperial Master take action, but Lin Che always smiles and says, “When luck comes, heaven and earth are on your side. When luck is gone, heroes are helpless.”

“One who retreats from the current shows his wisdom”

At the court meeting the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang still sat on the dragon throne with dignity and solemnity. Undercurrents were surging among the ministers, and they were competing with each other.

Shen Yuan stepped forward with a smug smile, holding in his hand a so-called battle report of a great victory over the enemy. He planned to show off his talent and win more favor from the emperor.

As he was speaking nonstop, Lin Che walked forward gently, ignoring Shen Yuan's words.

"Wait until he finishes speaking before you make your move."

Lin Che thought to himself.

As Shen Yuan's voice deepened, Lin Che's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue.

Lin Che walked calmly, looked at the ministers, and finally expressed his doubts, "Looking at Lord Shen's battle report, many details seem to be different from the actual battle situation."

"Nonsense." Shen Yuan retorted as a matter of course, "Everything I, Shen, said is true."

Lin Che smiled slightly and said casually, "The battle report mentioned that the bandits used fire to attack and the fire started in the west. However, according to the wind direction that day, the fire should have spread to the east."

"But the report says that Lord Shen is extremely capable and can defeat the enemy against all odds. Could it be that Lord Shen can influence the direction of the wind?"

In an instant, the whole audience was in an uproar. Shen Yuan's face suddenly changed and he was speechless.

The whispers and discussions of the ministers were heard one after another, and for a moment the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Shen Yuan with a sharp look.

He asked calmly, "Shen Yuan, what's your explanation for this?"

At this calming moment, the originally arrogant Shen Yuan seemed a little at a loss. He stammered and tried to explain, but he had obviously lost his momentum.

Lin Che took two steps forward and said calmly, "For the sake of the country, I respect the contributions of every soldier."

"However, if someone takes credit for himself and deceives the imperial court, it would be the greatest disrespect to the soldiers who have truly devoted their efforts and lives to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Che deeply, feeling quite grateful.

His voice was sonorous and powerful. "I order you to thoroughly investigate Shen Yuan's battle report. If there is any falsification, I will not let you off lightly."

Shen Yuan's face was pale at this time. He no longer had the arrogance he had before. He looked at Lin Che, the national teacher, in disbelief as she exposed him with just a few words.

As for Lin Che, he retreated to his position at Zhu Yuanzhang's command, and just smiled faintly, confident that he would do what he wanted.

In the pitch-black night, countless stars quietly embellish the dark night sky. The night in the capital city seems to be unable to hide the endless conspiracies and intrigues.

The Imperial Master sat in the silent study, with only a solitary lamp as his companion. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could penetrate layers of fog and see through everything in the world.

"Master, the decision tonight is crucial. It concerns the future of Ming Dynasty."

A guard in brocade clothes hurried into the study, his face full of sternness. Lin Che raised his eyes slightly, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "There is no need to panic, pass the letter to me."

The guard nodded slightly, handed over the letter with the financial seal, and left.

Lin Che opened the envelope and glanced at it. What was written in her mind was...

"Rare medicinal herbs have appeared in Daming Haixi, and they should not be missed."

At the end of the letter, the signature was actually a secret report from the palace.

Lin Che smiled calmly, shook his head and said to himself: "There is no such medicine in Haixi. The mystery in this letter is probably extraordinary."

After a few moments of calmness, he chanted a few more mantras to himself. The lights in the room flickered, as if they were connected to Lin Che's mind and swayed with his will.

After chanting the spell, Lin Che stood up and walked through the intricate palace corridors that were like a maze, sneaking quietly towards the royal secret room.

Only close ministers of the royal family were allowed to enter this secret room, but when the imperial teacher Lin Che stepped into it, no one stopped him.

Inside the royal secret room, a middle-aged man was wandering around the city with a bit of anxiety. He was Liu Sanwu, the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty.

"National Master, you are finally here."

"This matter..." Liu Sanwu came forward, hesitating to speak.

"Master Liu, no need to say more."

Lin Che interrupted him calmly, "The matter of Haixi medicinal materials is actually a message that your majesty secretly passed on to me, suggesting that there must be unusual movements at night."

Liu Sanwu suddenly realized, "So that's it."

"But what should we do about what Your Majesty said?"

"Easy as a piece of cake."

Lin Che spoke in a relaxed tone, revealing a confident smile, "We have our own countermeasures for any unusual movements."

"Tonight, I will patrol the battlefields and trap those who are ready to make a move.

Seeing the Imperial Master so calm, Liu Sanwu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that the Imperial Master always had a plan in mind. "

This time I can solve this situation.

It was late at night and the moonlight was bright.

Imperial Master Lin Che, dressed in a green shirt, stood outside the palace, waving his hands and pointing his fingers, performing complicated hand gestures.

I saw bursts of light smoke rising from behind him, slowly dispersing in the air, and in a blink of an eye, covering the entire palace, as if shrouded in a layer of mysterious fog.

Several people wearing night clothes and holding sharp weapons were lurking in the dark. Their target was Zhu Yuanzhang in his bedroom.

But when they approached the bedroom, the overwhelming fog suddenly dissipated.

There is a shadow in the wind, and there is a person in the shadow, but it seems to be there and not there, making it hard to understand.

These people suddenly fell into chaos. They began to lose their direction from each other and even began to doubt their own eyes.

They didn't know that the national teacher had used his magical powers to set up a night-watching formation that filled the air.

Just as these people were panicking, Lin Che walked over slowly, like a wisp of smoke in the evening breeze, and said in a calm voice, "Why do you come to visit us so late at night as a guest? I'm afraid you've lost your way."

These people were shocked. A masked man swung a dagger and stabbed at Lin Che.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he was restrained by an invisible force and could not move.

Liu Sanwu led the Jinyiwei out of the shadows and captured these people one by one.

He cast an admiring look at Lin Che and asked playfully, “National Master, how did you do it so easily?”
