Qin Qianluo felt relieved, but then she thought of Consort Lin. "It's such a pity for such a loving couple. They were framed by that spy, and the pregnancy couldn't be kept secret. I want to help Consort Lin. Although she is indeed guilty, she was truly framed and paid for it with her life. It's such a shame."
001 glanced at the documents before saying, "Luo Bao, don't worry. The Empress started investigating yesterday after she returned. The Empress is very reasonable; once she learns the truth, she will help Consort Lin. Your Emperor has never touched Consort Lin, so she can't be considered one of his women."
Qin Qianluo's lips twitched. "001, any woman who enters the palace and receives a title is considered the Emperor's woman, regardless of whether he's actually touched her. Fortunately, it was the Empress who investigated. The Empress is such a gentle person; she certainly won't order the execution of Consort Lin and that guard. At worst, I'll go to the palace and speak to the Empress tactfully."
001 was a little confused, but it subconsciously felt that Qin Qianluo was right, and echoed, "Luo Bao is right, at worst Luo Bao can just go into the palace and rescue her."
Qin Qianlu was speechless. Fine, 001 is just data. It doesn't have human thoughts and can't understand so many complex emotions. Anyway, only she can hear it.
Everyone: Going to the palace to kidnap the emperor's concubines, 001 really dares to say that! Luckily, Princess Qingyun is composed, otherwise she would have been led astray by 001 sooner or later.
The Emperor was speechless. How could 001 possibly think of such a terrible idea as kidnapping his concubines from the palace? But his Empress had already investigated. He was truly blessed to have such a wonderful Empress. If it weren't for her, his crown would have been ruined. However, he would have to talk to the Empress later to make sure that the little girl from the Qin family didn't actually sneak into the palace to kidnap someone.
Su Jinyun frowned. She had been listening to their conversation. She really didn't understand the Xuanyuan Kingdom. She was grateful that they thought highly of Tianxuan and had gone to the trouble of sending many spies. But shouldn't 001 be given some emotional guidance? It was easy for him to lead Qianluo astray.
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan thought so too. 001 was good in every way, but sometimes its thinking was a bit wrong. They couldn't teach 001, and they were worried that Luo'er would be led astray by 001.
At this moment, Qin Qianluo was unaware of Su Jinyun's and her father's and elder brother's concerns. After asking 001 to keep an eye on Lin Zhaoyi's fate, she went off to watch the TV series on her own.
The morning court session ended amidst the sounds of the TV drama. Minister of Justice Lin Fu and the two prime ministers remained in the imperial study. Qin Qianluo, accustomed to her father not accompanying her and her elder brother home, did not wait for Prime Minister Qin and went home with her elder brother to begin their daily training.
Inside the imperial study, Lin Fu knelt on the ground, pleading guilty: "Your subject Lin Fu kowtows to Your Majesty. I have failed in my duty to Your Majesty, failing to properly raise my daughter, Lin Shuran, which led her to commit a heinous crime. This is all my fault; I failed to properly educate her, resulting in such a grave offense."
Your Majesty, I wish to punish my daughter to uphold the order of the court. I also beg Your Majesty to pardon her. I will teach her strictly in the future so that she will know her mistakes and correct them. I hope Your Majesty will spare my daughter's life.
Your Majesty, I am willing to die to atone for my sins! Long live the Emperor!
The Emperor looked at Lin Fu kneeling on the ground and said impatiently, "Alright, get up. Do you think I would really kill you? I won't make things difficult for your daughter either. I will let her leave the palace. However, she must not mention this matter to anyone else in the future. Otherwise, I will definitely punish her."
Lin Fu felt relieved upon hearing this and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly instruct my daughter not to harm Your Majesty's dignity. Your Majesty's kindness and benevolence are truly a blessing to our dynasty."
The Emperor laughed and scolded, "That guard is used to flattering others, but he still needs to be punished. Go and have him receive ten strokes of the cane. He has corrupted the inner palace; punishing him is not enough to appease the people."
Lin Fu quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."
The Emperor then thought of the spy in his residence: "Catch that spy as soon as possible and see if we can find out the location of the other spies."
After Lin Fu responded, he hurriedly returned to his residence to arrest the maid. After seeing Minister Lin leave, the Emperor looked at the two prime ministers.
Su Jinyun and Prime Minister Qin mainly wanted to know if there was any news about the three spies. After exchanging a glance, Prime Minister Qin bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, have the Shadow Guards found the location of the three spies?"
The Emperor shook his head: "No news has come yet. Since they are even more powerful spies, they probably have many ways to hide. It will probably take some time."
Qin Xiang knew it would be difficult to investigate, but if they couldn't find out, his Luo'er would always be in danger. Even if they were anxious now, there was nothing they could do. All three of them sighed.
Qin Qianlu finished her training in the afternoon. After asking 001 for the time, she hurried to the Ministry of Works. She had forgotten to give the Ministry of Works the formulas for the three types of Xuan paper today. Fortunately, she still had enough time. When Qin Qianlu arrived at the Ministry of Works, she gave the formulas directly to Shi Xingbai, who thanked her profusely once again.
Qin Qianluo gave him the formula. She just wanted to take a casual stroll and didn't realize that a master was watching her intently, his eyes like those of a venomous snake. The guards protecting Qin Qianluo noticed this and looked over, but the man had already disappeared.
Qin Qianlu walked and stopped along the way, buying many trinkets to take back to her residence. She gave some to her mother, sister, and elder brother, and kept some for herself, taking them back to her own courtyard.
