If the ringleader is not brought to justice within three days, you two may find it difficult to retain your official seals.
The Emperor's words struck Ye Xingli and Lu Yunqi like a heavy hammer blow, each word carrying immense force.
This sent a chill down their spines, filling them with pressure and fear, but also stirring within them a determination to fight a desperate battle.
The emperor's originally dignified and calm face was now distorted with rage, his eyes wide open, as if two raging flames were burning within them.
The flames seemed capable of instantly turning all the evil in the world to ashes.
Immediately afterwards, he slammed his hand on the imperial desk in front of him. This slam was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, containing boundless anger and majesty.
The sturdy imperial desk trembled violently under this immense force, and the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones on it bounced wildly as if struck by an earthquake, nearly tipping over to the ground.
Then, enraged, he threw the imperial brush he had been gripping tightly out of his hand. The brush was like a black arrow, carrying the emperor's raging fury.
It whistled through the air with a sharp whooshing sound, then crashed heavily to the ground with a thud, the pen breaking instantly.
The wolf-hair bristles from the brush tip flew everywhere, scattering on the cold ground, as if silently telling the story of this outburst of anger.
At this moment, the emperor's chest heaved violently like a bellows, and his heavy breathing was clearly audible; he was obviously extremely enraged.
Under the emperor's feet, at the heart of the nation, should be a peaceful and prosperous place where the people live and work in peace and contentment.
It is a sacred place that demonstrates national power and benevolence, and a peaceful and prosperous world that people all over the world yearn for.
However, now, right before everyone's eyes, such an outrageous and heinous act of plundering and selling out the people has occurred.
This was undoubtedly a blatant challenge to his supreme imperial power, a ruthless trampling on the peaceful order of the capital, and a wanton desecration of the dignity of the people's lives.
How could this not enrage him? The thunderous fury in his heart was like a surging tide, almost breaching the dam of his reason. His anger was like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable.
On the other hand, the emperor's move actually had a hidden meaning.
He knew that Qin Qianluo was exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, and that she cared deeply about the world and was particularly concerned about the suffering of the people.
He hoped that the intense and shocking scene before him would touch Qin Qianluo's heartstrings, arouse her great attention to the case, and prompt her to take the initiative to inquire about the whereabouts of the kidnapper.
With Qin Qianluo's unique wisdom and mysterious resources, she may be able to quickly unravel the mysteries behind the case, just like clearing away the clouds to reveal the sun.
We must rescue those innocent people who have been abducted and sold into slavery from their suffering as soon as possible, and quell this turmoil that has caused panic and unrest in the capital like a plague.
To restore peace and tranquility to the capital and enable the people to enjoy a peaceful life again.
When Ye Xingli and Lu Yunqi saw the Emperor's fury, it was as if they had encountered a catastrophe. They were so frightened that their faces turned ashen and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
As if struck by an invisible force, the two instinctively knelt down in unison with a "thump."
Their knees slammed against the hard ground, making a dull yet loud sound, as if echoing the fear in their hearts.
Their foreheads were pressed tightly against the cold ground, as if trying to completely merge their humble bodies into the earth.
To express their endless fear and deep guilt, their voices trembled like autumn leaves in the wind, filled with profound apprehension.
He stammered, "Your Majesty is furious. We, your humble servants, deserve to die!"
Chaos has frequently broken out in the capital, all due to the negligence of your humble servants. This has caused suffering to the people and great concern to His Majesty. Your humble servants would rather die than atone for our sins.
Now, with the help of the Shadow Guards, I will lead my troops to search day and night, digging three feet into the ground to capture the bandit leader. If I fail to do so within the allotted time, I will resign and accept severe punishment as a warning to others.
If we are fortunate enough to succeed, it will all be thanks to Your Majesty's divine protection! Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for your grace.
The emperor sat upright on the majestic dragon throne, his face originally tense with rage.
Seeing Ye Xingli and Lu Yunqi kneeling on the ground trembling like leaves, he felt a little relieved.
His gaze, like that of a cold, hawk-like bird, slowly swept over the two men's crouching bodies.
The raging anger burning in my heart seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind, its intensity diminished.
The Emperor shifted his body slightly, seemingly casually raising his hand to pretend to carefully adjust his ornate sleeves.
However, in that unintentional movement, his eyes quickly and quietly glanced in the direction of Qin Qianluo.
This glance, swift and discreet like lightning, carried a hint of expectation that was difficult for others to perceive.
Su Jinyun stood quietly to the side, taking in every move and every smile in the court.
Her gaze was like a clear mirror, discerning even the smallest detail, as she observed the Emperor's seemingly unintentional yet deeply meaningful eyes.
Neither the fear and unease on Ye Xingli and Lu Yunqi's faces escaped her notice.
In an instant, she saw through everyone's thoughts as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun. On the surface, they were pleading guilty to the emperor in the court and requesting that the shadow guards be sent to assist in the investigation.
In reality, however, he was trying to attract Qianluo's attention through this carefully "arranged" drama.
