But if all of this was meticulously planned by the same group, then their audacity and ambition are simply outrageous and terrifying!

They dared to stir up trouble right under the emperor's nose, in this peaceful and prosperous era, attempting to overthrow the court and disrupt the world.

Thinking this, a fierce glint flashed in the Emperor's eyes, like a sharp blade suddenly drawn from its sheath in the cold night, icy, resolute, and full of intimidation.

That gaze seemed to pierce through the darkness, reaching the very root of evil, as if proclaiming to those with ill intentions.

No matter how well they hide, no matter what price they pay, they will be exposed and punished severely.

Regardless of whether the masterminds behind these incidents are the same group, once they are caught, they will be made to pay the most terrible price. Even exterminating their entire family would not be enough to quell our hatred!

As the ruler of this land, he bears the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and its people.

This land is both the legacy passed down from his ancestors and the dynasty he painstakingly unified; the people are his subjects.

He would never allow anyone to threaten his empire, this hard-won peace and prosperity, or the tranquil lives of the people.

This sense of responsibility and commitment is etched into his heart like a brand, driving him to defend the peace and stability of the country at all costs for the sake of all people.

Upon seeing this, Lin Fu, the Minister of Justice, was moved, as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread.

He had been closely monitoring the situation at court and was well aware of the seriousness and complexity of the incident.

At this moment, seeing King Jinrui Zhao request to go to the border, he realized that this might be an excellent opportunity to unravel the mystery and quell the chaos.

He quickly stepped forward, his posture agile, his hands clasped in a fist, his movements clean and efficient, displaying the boldness and competence of a court official.

He was dressed in a black official robe, the hem of which swayed gently with his movements.

At this moment, his expression was respectful yet resolute, and his eyes revealed a firm determination. He volunteered without hesitation to go along.

He secretly pondered to himself that he had served as an official for many years, weathered many storms, accumulated rich experience in handling cases and had a network of contacts, and was also highly skilled in martial arts.

During his tenure in the Ministry of Justice, he solved numerous extraordinary cases and earned widespread renown.

If I can go to the border with King Jinrui Zhao, I will definitely be able to use my abilities to help her, protect her and keep her safe in this dangerous border region.

The Emperor raised his eyes to look at Lin Fu, his gaze like a sharp ray, sweeping over Lin Fu back and forth, a hint of consideration flashing in his eyes.

He carefully examined Lin Fu, pondering how well his abilities matched the requirements of this mission.

Lin Fu had served in the court for many years, and the emperor was well aware of his abilities and character.

He was exceptionally capable and handled the affairs of the Ministry of Justice with great efficiency during his tenure, making outstanding contributions to the court.

Moreover, he is calm and meticulous, and can always calmly deal with complex situations and make the right judgments.

His martial arts skills were exceptional, and with him by the little girl's side in that perilous border region, it provided her with a degree of security.

Although the little girl is clever and resourceful, and her methods are not to be underestimated, she may not need someone to protect her all the time.

With Lin Fu, a capable assistant, by his side, the Emperor could feel more at ease and less worried.

After much deliberation, the emperor weighed every detail and every possibility in his mind.

From Lin Fu's abilities to the situation on the border, from the little girl's safety to the overall situation of the court, he considered everything in detail.

Finally, the Emperor nodded slightly, granting Lin Fu's request. This slight nod seemed to signal the start of an unknown journey.

It also carries the emperor's trust and expectations for them, hoping that they can successfully find out the truth, resolve the crisis, and restore peace to the world.

Qin Qianluo and the person beside her knelt down respectfully to express their gratitude, their expressions solemn, and steadily accepted the imperial edict that carried their mission and responsibility.

After getting up, their eyes revealed determination and courage as they quickly threw themselves into preparations for departure.

On the border of Youzhou, the Tianxuan army guarded the frontier day and night, their banners fluttering fiercely in the cold wind, without the need for a general to lead the army there in person.

But Qin Qianluo knew that the complexity of this mission far exceeded her imagination, and any detail could determine success or failure.

The winters in the north are bitterly cold, and the wind and snow in Youzhou are even more biting. Qin Qianluo dared not slack off in the slightest and carefully selected a large quantity of warm clothing.

Thick fur cloaks, cotton coats filled with soft down, and felt boots to ward off the biting cold wind were all loaded onto the vehicle.

Only by keeping soldiers warm in the bitter cold can they have sufficient fighting power on the battlefield.

On the day of departure, the city gates of the capital slowly opened, and rows of horse-drawn carriages lined up neatly, with tall wheels and wide bodies, fully loaded with supplies.

The horses were tall and strong, their saddles gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

Qin Qianluo and her companions, dressed in military uniforms, mounted their horses with great flair, holding the reins tightly in their hands.

With a crisp crack of a whip echoing through the sky, the convoy slowly started moving.

The wheels rolled on the ground with a dull, rhythmic sound, raising a trail of dust as they headed towards Youzhou in the north.

At the same time, Lin Ruoqing and Qin Qianyu rushed to the intersection where they were seeing each other off.

Lin Ruoqing saw Qin Qianluo's figure in the distance, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she quickened her pace.

She came to Qin Qianluo and held her daughter's hands tightly, her hands trembling slightly with worry.

Her eyes were full of longing and reluctance, her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she had a thousand sorrows that she could not shake off.
