Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it was as if a storm was about to break. Although the ministers were still pretending to discuss matters, they were all quietly listening and glancing in the direction of Princess Qingyun.
Everyone held their breath, stood stiffly, and dared not blink, their eyes fixed on their prey like hungry wolves, afraid of missing even the slightest bit of useful information.
The War King stood stiffly, the ferocious beasts embroidered in gold thread on his robes baring their fangs and claws, which made him appear even more majestic.
At this moment, his usual carefree and unrestrained boldness was completely gone. His straight back was taut as a string, his sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed into a "川" shape, and he held his breath and focused intently, not missing any detail.
The emperor at the head of the table wore a bright yellow dragon robe, the embroidered dragons so lifelike they seemed about to take flight.
He leaned forward slightly, his grip on the gold-lacquered carvings on the dragon throne causing them to become somewhat deformed.
The emperor's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and the curve of his mouth revealed his solemnity. Although he tried his best to maintain his dignity, the tension in his eyes still betrayed him.
Their eyes were filled with eagerness and anticipation as they listened intently to every word that followed. Everyone's hearts were in their throats; time seemed to stand still.
001 finally spoke amidst everyone's anxious waiting, her voice soft and sweet as she said, "Don't worry, Luo Bao, she doesn't have that much ability."
The reason Ning Chenjin was able to steal the defense map of the War King's fiefdom was simply because he was completely love-struck and had no suspicion of her whatsoever.
Even Ning Chenjin had difficulty accessing the defense map of the capital, let alone her.
However, this prince, blinded by love, will later be seduced by her clever words and schemes, and he plans to give her a map of the capital.
Although we failed to obtain the defense map of the capital, the importance of the topographical map should not be underestimated, as should the defense map of the War King's fiefdom, which is also extremely crucial.
Later, these two pictures earned her a large sum of money, much more than the money she had previously swindled.
Because the money they had swindled had long been squandered by the two of them, leaving almost nothing.
The woman took this huge sum of money and never returned to the War King's fiefdom; instead, she ran off to another country alone.
After enjoying a carefree time there, they were unfortunately targeted by vicious mountain bandits.
After all, other countries are not like Tianxuan. Although they are not as bad as the previous Xuanyuan Kingdom, they are not as peaceful and tranquil as Tianxuan.
Finally, she was forcibly kidnapped by bandits, and while attempting to escape en route, she was ruthlessly murdered by the cruel bandits.
Qin Qianlu stared intently at the scene displayed on the screen, her lips slightly pursed, the corners of her mouth curving upwards into a cool yet resolute arc.
Like a plum blossom braving the snow, standing tall against the frost, exuding composure. With a light flick of her right sleeve, she secretly clenched the hem of her garment, and the faint worry in her heart quietly dissipated without leaving a trace.
Anyway, the woman is still in the War King's mansion, and I already know everything. There's no way she can send out the terrain map and defense map, so there's really no need to worry.
Upon hearing of the woman's fate, the officials felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their hearts, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Some patted their chests, while others put their hands behind their backs and tilted their heads slightly back.
They were all secretly relieved that Princess Qingyun was there; otherwise, if the maps and defense plans had unfortunately fallen into the hands of another country...
The consequences would be unimaginable; it would surely be an unmanageable disaster. But what exactly does "love-struck" mean? It doesn't sound like a positive term.
Looking at the various scenes displayed on the light screen, one could see that the bandits were extremely vicious.
But no one showed the woman any sympathy; all they saw was disgust, and some even snorted.
Ning Jun and the emperor at the head of the table also breathed a sigh of relief, putting their hearts at ease.
Ning Jun let his hands hang loosely at his sides, his shoulders twitching slightly, while the Emperor leaned back on the dragon throne and let out a soft sigh.
After all, nothing has happened yet, and the woman is still under control. Therefore, there is no need to worry or be restless about this matter anymore.
They were also pondering the meaning of "love-struck," and Ning Jun looked slightly embarrassed, as he always felt that this term was not a good one.
Ning Shuyao, standing to the side, gazed at Qin Qianluo with great interest, a hint of curiosity and inquiry flashing in her bright eyes, as if she had discovered a new treasure.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart, and I felt that the capital city seemed to have become quite interesting.
Having traveled extensively for so many years, I now think that staying in Beijing might not be a bad choice in the future.
With Qin Qianluo around, life in the capital city will surely not be too dull and boring, but will be full of unexpected surprises and joys.
Qin Qianlu then turned her thoughts to the man. In her opinion, both of them had a bad reputation and were definitely not good people.
She frowned and asked, "Where is that man? These two are clearly birds of a feather, doing all sorts of bad things and acting in concert."
Although the woman was the one who carried out the scam, putting on a weak and pitiful appearance in front of others to gain sympathy, the man behind it was both the beneficiary and the one in the know.
What became of him? Neither of them fared well. The woman is unlikely to have a good ending, and her husband won't be able to live a carefree life, will he?
001 paused, then found the woman's husband's information through her, and said, "Both of them have reaped what they sowed and received their due punishment."
The man was the mastermind behind this series of conspiracies; the woman initially intended to stop, still retaining some conscience.
If it weren't for her husband's various means of coercion and threats, leaving her with no way out, she would have made one mistake after another.
