On the surface, they have participated in and contributed to the advancement of various tasks.
But in reality, the real planning, decision-making, and the hard work behind it all should be attributed to King Jinrui Zhao.
They were merely mechanically completing tasks, like puppets, passively following commands without taking initiative or making any positive moves.
Now, after this series of events, they have been deeply moved.
Seeing King Jinrui Zhao working tirelessly and selflessly for the country and its people, they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt and self-reproach.
They began to reflect on their past and realized their dereliction of duty and mistakes.
They were no longer content to merely act as executors, but longed to do something truly practical for the people, no longer letting King Jinrui Zhao bear all the effort and responsibility alone.
They hope to join hands with King Jinrui Zhao to use their talents and wisdom to create a better future for the country and its people.
They deeply understand that only when everyone takes active action can the entire country be revitalized and the people truly live a happy and healthy life.
The Emperor was very pleased to see the changes in his officials. He himself had also undergone many changes during this period, with more shadow guards being dispatched to secretly investigate the situation in various regions.
The shadow guards were also granted the power to monitor all officials, which made their actions more convenient and efficient.
Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was time to head to the Summer Palace.
The emperor, accompanied by his ministers and some of the concubines from the harem, set off from the capital in a grand procession.
Qin Qianlu sat in her ceremonial entourage, yawning boredly, listening to the sound of the TV series, and feeling drowsy.
Although the ministers couldn't see the images, they could hear the sounds, which they found quite amusing. Throughout the journey, everyone was immersed in this leisurely atmosphere.
As the group reached a forested area, Feng Qingyun suddenly warned, "Luo Bao, be careful! There are assassins!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo's spirits lifted instantly, and Dark Moon beside her immediately opened its eyes.
Dark Moon's expression turned solemn as he quickly pricked up his ears, listening intently to the sounds around him.
At the same time, he secretly mobilized his internal energy, preparing to get up and protect Qin Qianluo immediately should any abnormal situation arise.
The surrounding guards, secret agents, and officials also tensed up.
The guards reacted swiftly, their hands on their sword hilts, ready for battle. The secret guards, with their sharp eyes, quickly began searching the surrounding area, leaving no corner unchecked that might harbor an assassin.
The officials all looked tense, their brows furrowed, and some even unconsciously clenched their fists, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
The Emperor held the Empress's hand tightly, protecting her in his arms, while secretly cursing the assassins in his heart.
He pondered to himself, where did these assassins come from? Were they sent by the Qingli Kingdom, or the Youmeng Kingdom? Or perhaps they were remnants of the Xuanyuan clan?
Just as everyone was in a state of extreme tension, a group of men in black rushed out of the surrounding mountains and forests and surrounded them.
An Yue immediately shielded Qin Qianluo behind her, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings.
Qin Qianluo also took out her double-edged scimitar from her spatial storage, gripped the hilt tightly, and prepared to deal with the enemy at any time.
These men in black were agile and nimble, clearly well-trained.
They held sharp blades, their eyes fixed fiercely on the crowd. The atmosphere instantly became tense, a chilling aura filling the air.
Qin Qianlu looked at the men in black around her, feeling very vigilant. She adjusted her state and prepared for the upcoming battle.
At the same time, the surrounding guards sprang into action. They rushed towards the men in black and engaged them in a fierce battle.
The guards were agile and skilled, fighting the men in black with their weapons.
The guards, not to be outdone, used their agility and hidden weapons to attack the men in black. Their attacks were incredibly accurate, leaving the men in black defenseless.
The battle lasted a long time, and the men in black gradually gained the upper hand, constantly attacking the group.
With the help of the secret guards, the guards finally turned the tide and captured all the men in black. After the battle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The guards quickly and methodically cleaned up the battlefield, properly handling the remnants to ensure no potential hazards remained.
Then the team set off again, their wheels rolling and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Qin Qianluo sat in her ceremonial regalia, no longer sleepy. She frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Yunbao, where did these assassins come from?"
Feng Qingyun quickly flipped through the documents in her hand, her expression serious and her tone carrying a hint of anger: "They are a collateral branch of the original Xuanyuan royal family."
Luo Bao, you destroyed a large amount of opium before, depriving those addicted to opium of their supply.
These people were extremely dependent on opium, and after their opium was cut off, they went mad.
This branch of the family gathered a large number of people, who then raised assassins and formed a powerful force.
They've come for you. In their eyes, the fall of a nation is acceptable, but the absence of opium is not.
They had gone to great lengths, traveling a long and arduous journey to get here, and had been lying in wait for a long time; today they had finally found their opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo's lips twitched. "I didn't expect that I still overlooked a group of troublemakers back then. Have I implicated the Emperor and my colleagues?"
"Luo Bao, this isn't your fault, you don't need to blame yourself," Feng Qingyun quickly comforted her.
"These people brought this upon themselves; it has nothing to do with you. Besides, now that we've caught them, we can follow the trail and find the location of those drug addicts."
