This was especially true for Ning Chenyi, who was already deeply grieving, filled with self-blame and endless regret over the loss of the crown prince, and was physically and mentally exhausted.

This was undoubtedly another devastating blow, like an invisible mountain weighing heavily on his heart.

This placed immense pressure on him, both mentally and physically, pushing him to the brink of collapse.

At this moment, Qin Qianluo was like a tireless and fearless guardian, shouldering many heavy responsibilities.

On the one hand, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to dealing with the various hidden dangers left behind by the malicious Shouzhuo.

These hidden dangers are like malignant tumors lurking in the shadows, ready to erupt at any moment.

It is also like a tangled thicket of thorns, which, if not handled carefully, can cause serious and irreparable harm to the stability and development of the country.

Like peeling back layers of an onion, Qin Qianluo carefully yet decisively resolved these hidden dangers one by one.

We strive to minimize its negative impact on the country and safeguard its peace and stability.

On the other hand, she was always concerned about the health of the Emperor and Empress, and often fed them some spiritual spring water.

In this way, Ning Chenyi's original thought of using his poor health as an excuse to shirk his duties and temporarily avoid the heavy political affairs was completely dispelled by Qin Qianluo.

Although Ning Chenyi occasionally couldn't help but complain, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Qianluo's "strictness," his tone carried a hint of helplessness and teasing.

But deep down, he felt immense gratitude and high regard for Qin Qianluo's care and encouragement, and he found it very helpful.

After all, he knew that everything Qin Qianluo did stemmed from her sincere love for the country and her deep concern and responsibility for the future of the dynasty.

Qin Qianluo's persistence and hard work are like a lighthouse protecting the giant ship of the nation, ensuring that it can sail smoothly through the turbulent river of history.

Enabling the people to live and work in peace and prosperity is entirely consistent with and closely linked to his original aspiration and mission as a monarch.

The heinous Shou Zhuo, after a thrilling contest, ultimately met a tragic end, his soul scattered and his spirit vanished like a wisp of smoke from the world.

However, the chaotic situation he left behind weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, like a tangled mess of yarn.

It's truly a headache, and cleaning it up is incredibly difficult.

Judging from the current situation, the group of advisors who originally surrounded the Crown Prince can be temporarily set aside.

After all, these advisors were all talents cultivated in Chengxiao Kingdom; they were born and raised on this land.

They have a deep emotional bond and a strong sense of belonging to Chengxiao Kingdom.

To deal with them, all we need to do is have Feng Qingyun examine them closely and pay close attention to whether they exhibit any unusual behavior.

It should be known that those who can become advisors to the Crown Prince are all exceptionally intelligent and insightful individuals.

Having navigated the complexities of officialdom, they had all developed a shrewd and worldly-wise ability, possessing an almost instinctive understanding of how to assess situations and weigh pros and cons.

Given the current situation, they would not rashly do anything that would violate the greater good or ruin their future.

However, what truly posed a formidable challenge was the group of men in black that Shou Zhuo had gathered from who-knows-where in the shadows.

Yao Guang had to exert tremendous effort and go through a fierce battle to finally capture a few of them.

But who could have imagined that these people would be so resolute, as if controlled by some extreme will, seizing any opportunity to end their own lives without hesitation?

In an instant, all possible clues were cut off, bringing the investigation to a standstill.

This undoubtedly brought an enormous obstacle, like a mountain pressing down, to Qin Qianluo's subsequent investigation. She could only suppress her anxiety and be patient.

They conducted a meticulous investigation, like searching for a needle in a haystack, exploring and searching bit by bit, leaving no possible clue unchecked.

It must be said that Shouzhuo was more cunning than anyone imagined. He meticulously planned a perfect disguise and acted with extreme secrecy.

Like a ghost lurking in the dark abyss, it silently hides right under everyone's noses.

For years, he lurked in the shadows like a ghost, plotting without revealing a single flaw, as if he had become one with the darkness.

Even Qin Qianluo was cleverly deceived by him and didn't realize it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that at the crucial moment when the plan was about to come to a close, Shou Zhuo's eagerness and greed gradually gained the upper hand like a runaway horse, making him unable to remain calm any longer.

This revealed his fatal flaw, and it is highly likely that his extremely sinister plot will succeed.

If the conspiracy succeeds, the entire Chengxiao Kingdom will be plunged into an abyss of no return, its people will suffer immensely, and the country will be torn apart.

It was precisely because of Shouzhuo's extreme cunning and the unpredictable nature of the man in black's actions that this was achieved.

Searching for these men in black became as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, with almost no hope in sight.

Fortunately, Qin Qianlu reacted quickly and soon sorted out her predicament, realizing the key to the problem.

She acted decisively and conducted another thorough and meticulous search of Linglong Pavilion.

Their posture suggested they were going to turn every inch of Linglong Pavilion upside down, leaving no stone unturned in their search for anything suspicious.

Persistence pays off, and this operation finally achieved gratifying results.
