Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo was slightly taken aback. It turned out that Feng Qingyun also had the same feeling.
This was completely unexpected for her. The two of them pondered for a long, long time, and the quiet room seemed to be filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Qin Qianluo's delicate eyebrows furrowed and relaxed at times, and Feng Qingyun also looked serious, but in the end they still couldn't figure it out.
Qin Qianlu sighed helplessly, the soft sigh echoing in the room, carrying a sense of powerlessness and relief.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore."
They shouldn't harm me. Otherwise, with the Nine-Tailed Fox's extraordinary abilities, dealing with me would be a piece of cake. Why would they go through all this trouble?
And I could genuinely feel that she had good intentions towards me.
Feng Qingyun listened, and although somewhat reluctant, she still nodded.
Indeed, even with a protection mechanism, if even oneself can be blocked, then that protection mechanism probably won't be very effective against the Nine-Tailed Fox.
As for the claim of friendliness, Feng Qingyun had a different opinion; perhaps she was indeed friendly towards Luo Bao.
But every time I think of her, I feel an inexplicable urge to compete with her.
It's like a child getting mischievous and wanting to provoke someone.
Even though he knew in his heart that he was no match for her, he couldn't suppress this thought, which was really strange.
The two, one big and one small, lay quietly on the bed, their eyes vacant and blank as they stared at the exquisite carvings on the ceiling, as if lost in deep thought.
For a moment, the entire space was so quiet that only their soft breathing could be heard. The air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.
The Emperor was sitting at his desk, solemnly reviewing the secret report that his shadow guards had just presented to him.
It turns out that the intricate, labyrinthine secret passages were actually meticulously planned and built by the former Minister of Personnel.
Their wolfish ambitions are obvious; they are plotting to launch a shocking conspiracy at the right time.
He controlled everyone inside and outside the palace, thereby achieving his goal of usurping power and overthrowing the court.
However, man proposes, God disposes; before his scheme could be carried out, it was exposed by Qin Qianluo.
He ultimately met a tragic end, being exiled to a desolate and cold land, paying a heavy price for his heinous acts.
The Emperor stared intently at the secret report in his hand, his brows furrowed, and the news that had been sent back earlier about the former Minister of Personnel kept flashing through his mind.
I heard that the former Minister of Personnel died on the long journey of exile. It is said that he died from a stroke caused by anger, coupled with the hardships of the journey and the harsh and cruel environment.
And the extreme despair in his heart eventually led him to fall ill and die.
As for the more specific cause of death, due to the remote location and poor conditions, it remains unknown.
After confirming that the body had died, the prison guards responsible for escorting the body cremated it on the spot, following the long-standing custom of the Tianxuan Kingdom.
This is also to prevent prisoners from faking their death to escape legal punishment, thereby causing unnecessary trouble and hidden dangers.
Now, apart from Qin Qianluo, only the Emperor and Empress know of the existence of this intricate and mysterious underground maze-like passageway.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, a deep sense of contemplation in them, as he pondered to himself.
Keeping this passage as a secret escape route is not a bad idea. It might actually play an unexpected role in a critical moment and become a last resort for survival.
However, the entrance was too conspicuous, having already been discovered once before, like a hidden time bomb that could be exposed again at any moment.
To be on the safe side, it would be better to replace it as soon as possible.
After thinking it over, the Emperor immediately ordered his shadow guards to handle the matter with a stern expression.
After all, this matter is of great importance, and we must not let anyone else know about the existence of this passage.
Otherwise, if it were to fall into the hands of those with ill intentions, it would inevitably trigger a bloody upheaval, shattering the stability and tranquility of the court, with unimaginable consequences.
As for Qin Qianluo, the Emperor trusted her completely. After all, if this girl really had rebellious intentions, with her abilities and intelligence, she would have already taken action.
He himself was willing to step down and relinquish the throne to a more capable person, handing over the world to them.
But the Emperor knew in his heart that this little girl had no such thoughts at all; she was simply a kind-hearted, innocent, and straightforward person with no interest in power struggles.
Her thoughts were simple and pure, like a crystal-clear stream, so transparent that they could be seen through at a glance.
With the matter of the passage temporarily resolved, Su Liyue finally felt relieved after learning of the Emperor's plans.
Su Liyue also thought the Emperor's idea of using it as a secret refuge passage to the Summer Palace was quite feasible.
After all, very few people know about this, and as long as the secret is kept, it may really play an unexpected role and become a lifeline for them in times of crisis.
Time flows slowly, like a gentle stream, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to set off back to Beijing.
Everyone busied themselves, packing their bags in an orderly fashion, and then boarded the ornately decorated carriage back to the capital.
Qin Qianlu sat in the spacious and comfortable carriage, watching TV series with great boredom. The ups and downs of the plot seemed unable to dispel the languor and boredom in her heart.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked, "Rainbow Dash, there shouldn't be any more of those annoying assassins causing trouble on this trip, right?"
