Do not become like Xu Zhili, whose life was once a pity, gradually sinking into the quagmire of officialdom, blinded by the desire for power and the temptation of profit.

He forgot his original intention and mission as an official, and ultimately ended up disgraced and ruined.

With this in mind, Luo Qi'an secretly made up his mind.

He seemed to already see all the challenges and temptations his students might face in the future, and his worries grew stronger.

He decided that after the court session, he would immediately return to his residence without delay.

He wrote a letter to his students in Yongning County, reminding them to always keep a clear and calm mind.

Like a helmsman sailing on a vast ocean, undeterred by the surrounding fog and waves.

We must always remember that the fundamental principle of being an official lies in benefiting the people. The people are the foundation of the country, and only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the country enjoy long-term stability and security.

We must uphold the noble principles of integrity and public service, and not be swayed by external disturbances and temptations. Even when faced with the allure of mountains of gold and silver, we must remain calm and unmoved.

We must take the well-being of the people as our responsibility and continue to do our best for the prosperity and development of the local area.

Despite the hardships, they used their knowledge and passion to create a better future for the people of Yongning County.

He hopes that his students will steadily walk the right path in their long and challenging careers in the future.

To become a good official who is sincerely loved by the people and can leave a glorious mark in history.

Xiao Muhan and Xiao Wanxi, who had already stood up, now resembled two fawns who had been startled and were extremely alert.

His eyes widened like copper bells, rapidly scanning the solemn and majestic Golden Palace.

Their gazes lingered on every tiny corner, as if trying to see through every inch of the hall. Their expressions were filled with deep doubt and intense curiosity.

It was as if they were exploring a mysterious cave that concealed endless treasures, determined to find the source of that mysterious sound.

That clear, childlike voice was like a dazzling flash of lightning that pierced the silent night sky.

The sudden change shattered the solemn and dignified atmosphere of the main hall, leaving everyone stunned.

Who on earth is so bold as to speak out so recklessly in the imperial court?

Looking around the hall, there was not a trace of a child.

Could it be that some mysterious, unpredictable child, invisible to the naked eye, is hiding in some secret corner of this hall?

This extremely strange situation left the father and daughter full of doubts, yet they were completely bewildered and had no way of finding answers. They could only futilely continue searching for any trace of the voice within the hall.

Seeing this, the official standing nearby quietly moved closer to Xiao Muhan without making a sound.

She reached out slightly, gently pinched the hem of Xiao Muhan's clothes with two fingers, and then whispered in his ear in an extremely soft voice, like the fluttering of a mosquito's wings.

He recounted Qin Qianluo's story in great detail, as if telling a legendary tale.

Xiao Muhan listened quietly, and at first, only a faint look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Like a tiny pebble gently disturbing a calm lake, creating shallow ripples.

However, as the official's account deepened, the light in his eyes grew increasingly bright and dazzling.

It was as if the originally dim stars in the night sky were instantly illuminated by a magical force, shining brightly.

His gaze swept past the layers of people and landed directly on the figure in front of him that appeared somewhat petite against the backdrop of many tall figures—Qin Qianluo.

He couldn't help but marvel inwardly; this woman was indeed as extraordinary as the rumors suggested.

I've heard that she usually has many ingenious and amazing ideas that are sure to amaze people.

He always manages to unexpectedly resolve various thorny problems at crucial moments, as if a wise strategist has descended to earth.

Now, having experienced it firsthand, I discovered that she possesses such amazing and almost unbelievable abilities, which truly leaves me speechless with astonishment.

He secretly marveled at the existence of such a wondrous person in the world.

She turned slightly to the side and whispered to her daughter, who was also looking at her with wide, curious eyes.

The whispers were like a gentle breeze, softly passing between the father and daughter.

Xiao Wanxi grew up in the vast and boundless land of the frontier.

As the daughter of a military family, she was influenced by the bold, forthright, and uninhibited folk customs, which fostered her free-spirited, unrestrained, and straightforward personality.

I had heard of Qin Qianluo's many deeds and reputation back when I was on the frontier.

At first, she felt a bit of youthful pride and disdain, thinking that the people of the capital were just making a fuss over nothing.

In her imagination, Qin Qianluo was probably just an ordinary woman who was praised by everyone because of her family background, and had no real talent or learning.

However, as time slowly passed, more and more news about Qin Qianluo came from the distant capital like snowflakes falling in winter.

Those messages included brilliant moments of her solving problems with her intelligence and wit, as well as touching acts of kindness and courage in relieving people's worries.

There is also her resolute figure who, despite navigating between various forces, always remained true to herself and unmoved.

Gradually, the resentment in Xiao Wanxi's heart melted away like ice and snow in spring under the gentle warmth of the sun, disappearing without a trace.

Instead, he felt an increasingly intense, burning curiosity about Qin Qianluo.
