Chapter 289 The Emperor's Thoughts (The End)



Everything must be built strictly according to the style of Jinxiu County, and the methods of running the school must also follow the little girl's ideas, without any unauthorized alteration or changes.

Crucially, the expenses for primary and junior high school students were entirely covered by the imperial court.

I will absolutely not allow any student, full of thirst for knowledge, to be ruthlessly deprived of the opportunity to receive education and change their destiny simply because of poverty or lack of funds.

Inside the Golden Palace, candlelight flickered, casting shadows that danced across the room.

The Emperor paused slightly at this point, and his previously calm face instantly softened with boundless tenderness and urgency.

He swayed his dragon robe slightly, slowly turned his head, and looked directly at Qin Shouzhen.

He bowed slightly, his attitude gentle yet imposing, and said earnestly, "Minister Qin, I command you to immediately write a letter."

This matter is extremely urgent. You must select your most capable and skilled horseman to ride swiftly to Jinxiu County.

The letter should inform the girl of all the important matters that were just agreed upon, in great detail.

Not only that, you must also convey a message for me: that I miss her dearly, and since she left the capital, I have been hoping day and night for her safe return.

The Emperor tilted his head slightly, gazing into the distance, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to the day Qin Qianluo left the capital.

He sighed, "It's been almost a year since she left Beijing."

Time flies by so quickly, like a fleeting moment, but my longing for her has not diminished at all; on the contrary, it grows stronger with each passing day.

And Lin Fu, as the person who accompanied her and protected her, actually failed to advise her to return to the capital to report for duty as soon as possible. He was truly derelict in his duty!

That little girl has grown up under my very nose since childhood. I know her temperament better than anyone. She is innocent, kind-hearted, and I am truly worried about her.

At this point, the Emperor frowned slightly, his face full of worry. He paced back and forth, hands behind his back, and said, "The little girl is still young and inexperienced in the ways of the world."

The world outside is complex and unpredictable. I am truly worried that she is innocent and kind by nature, without any guile.

What if we fall victim to the deception and schemes of those with ill intentions?

"My dear Qin, this matter is of utmost urgency. I urge you to write a letter immediately, lest I be kept worrying for too long."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shouzhen immediately stepped forward, respectfully performed a deep bow, his robe spreading out on the ground with the movement, and loudly accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.

Liu Gonggong, who had served him for many years, was quick-witted and intelligent. Upon seeing this, he immediately understood.

He moved with lightning speed, running all the way to one side of the hall, and quickly retrieved the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He carefully placed the ink on the table in front of Qin Shouzheng and even thoughtfully helped grind the ink, the fragrance of ink gradually spreading in the air.

Qin Shouzhen's lips twitched slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his face.

He lowered his head slightly, thinking to himself: I wonder if Luo'er is considered a daughter of the Qin family or Your Majesty.

Even I, her own father, haven't been in a hurry to urge her to come back, but Your Majesty is already extremely anxious.

My daughter Luo'er finally got to go out and relax, to see the world. Why are you calling her back so soon?

Moreover, it's only been a few months, so how can it be said to have been almost a year? That's an exaggeration.

Thinking of this, Qin Shouzhen sighed softly, his eyes filled with love and understanding for his daughter.

Qin Xiang muttered to himself while subconsciously shaking his head.

He raised his hand and gently stroked his beard, then slowly picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and prepared to write.

In his busy schedule, he forgot that although Qin Qianluo had been away from the capital for a long time, she had been exchanging letters with her family very frequently.

He and Lin Ruoqing were very familiar with their daughter's situation, and she was doing well.

They made many like-minded friends and participated in many interesting things, so they naturally had no worries or fears.

But the Emperor is different. For so long, he has not received a single word from Qin Qianluo, not even a letter.

Having not seen that clever, lively, and adorable girl for so long, I couldn't help but feel a little more worried and miss her more and more.

A few days later, a fast horse, its body soaked in sweat, arrived, kicking up dust, and the sound of its hooves suddenly stopped outside the Prince's mansion.

The messenger hurriedly dismounted and jogged to hand an urgent letter to Qin Qianluo.

At that moment, Qin Qianluo was sitting on the antique stone bench in the courtyard, sunlight filtering through the lush foliage and casting dappled shadows on her.

She wore a simple, long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the breeze, making her appear exceptionally relaxed and at ease.

Qin Qianluo stretched out her fair and slender hand and took the letter. Her eyes fell on the familiar handwriting on the envelope, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

This is a letter from the capital. What could it be? She raised an eyebrow slightly and gently opened the seal with her slender fingers.

He gracefully unfolded the letter and began to read it carefully, word by word.
