Fortunately, it seemed as if the heavens were protecting Chengxiao, for the Empress was intelligent and virtuous, like a bright and shining lamp in the palace.
She was perceptive and insightful, like a gentle spring breeze, able to keenly sense every subtle change in the palace.
Her eyes were sharp, like stars in the night sky, discerning the hidden thoughts deep within everyone's hearts.
At this critical moment, the Empress, with her delicate mind and keen insight, sensed the Emperor's inner struggle and dangerous thoughts.
She understood that the emperor at this moment was like a traveler teetering on the edge of a cliff, and a slight misstep would plunge him into an abyss of no return.
Therefore, she skillfully used gentle yet wise words, like a spring breeze and gentle rain, to enlighten the emperor at the right time.
Her words were like a ray of dawn in the darkness, illuminating the emperor's confused heart.
It was like a key that unlocked the door in the emperor's heart that had been tightly locked by jealousy and suspicion.
Finally, the emperor seemed to awaken from his dream, letting go of his unfounded, narrow-minded, and suspicious defenses, and returning to the path of reason and justice.
Otherwise, if the Emperor were to act willfully, blinded by jealousy, and insist on taking action against Qin Qianluo, the skies over Chengxiao Kingdom would likely change drastically.
A massive crisis, like a raging storm, will sweep in with overwhelming force, plunging the entire nation into endless chaos and disaster.
The people will be displaced, their homes will be reduced to ruins, the once prosperous capital will be reduced to scorched earth, and countless lives will be lost, with cries of sorrow echoing everywhere.
The Kingdom of Chengxiao will be plunged into an irrecoverable and tragic state, an ending that no one with a conscience would want to see.
A few days later, the dawn light, like a golden sword, pierced through the depths of the night.
The gentle yet dazzling light is generously poured onto every inch of Kyoto.
From the magnificent and solemn imperial palace, a massive procession, like an unstoppable torrent, slowly surged out and marched towards the Duke of Qin's mansion.
In the procession, the porters moved in unison, their shoulders steadily bearing heavy boxes and baskets.
He gripped the handle of the crate tightly with both hands, each step firm and powerful.
The chests were all made of precious sandalwood and inlaid with colorful jewels and jade, reflecting a dazzling light under the sun.
It's like countless shining stars coming together to form a flowing, radiant galaxy.
Sunlight fell on the porters' bronze skin, and the beads of sweat glistened, adding to the solemnity and reverence of the scene.
Su Jinyun wore a plain brocade robe, the fabric of which was delicate and soft, fluttering gently in the breeze like flowing clouds.
Her figure was elegant, like a green bamboo swaying gently in the breeze, standing quietly in the courtyard of the Duke of Qin's mansion.
Her clear, autumn-water-like eyes quietly watched the spectacular yet somewhat unexpected scene unfold before her.
Her gaze finally fell on Qin Qianluo, who had just received the imperial decree.
At this moment, Qin Qianluo was like a fawn that had wandered into unfamiliar territory, her eyes filled with confusion and astonishment, as if asking, "What on earth is going on?"
Su Jinyun's lips curled up slightly, her smile like the first peach blossom quietly blooming in spring, gentle and moving, carrying a hint of relief and satisfaction.
She pondered to herself that all the hidden moves she had made for Qin Qianluo's safety over the past few days had not been in vain.
The fact that the Emperor was able to realize his mistake in time and make amends quickly is a wise move.
However, Su Jinyun was also very clear in her heart that her actions might have aroused the emperor's suspicion.
But in her heart, Qianluo's safety was paramount. As long as she could protect Qianluo and prevent her from suffering those unwarranted harms and schemes, she would be there.
Even if it meant facing the emperor's possible suspicion, she was willing to do it.
At this moment, Qin Qianluo was busy moving among the mountains of rewards.
Her slender figure moved back and forth among the numerous boxes and cages, methodically directing the servants to carry out the inventory and storage work.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, like two willow leaves gently folded together, and her eyes were filled with deep doubt.
She racked her brains but still couldn't understand why the Emperor would suddenly send so many generous gifts.
Recently, I have neither offered any advice or made any special contributions in the court, nor have I done anything outside the palace that would cause a sensation in the capital or alarm the emperor.
Her mind was a jumble of thoughts, and then a single idea flashed through her mind like a shooting star.
Could it be that the sorghum harvest in the palace fields has been bountiful recently, and the Emperor is in a particularly good mood, which is why he has rewarded me?
However, upon closer examination, she felt that this reason was far-fetched and difficult to justify.
Qin Qianluo is not the type of person who gets caught up in trivial matters or gets stuck on minor issues.
In her past life, she had a powerful nation as her unbreakable backing, and no matter what difficulties or obstacles she encountered, she could turn danger into safety with the help of the nation.
In this life, under the careful protection of the Duke of Qin's mansion, she also lived a smooth and peaceful life.
This smooth upbringing gradually fostered her ability to thrive in her familiar territory.
The habit of not dwelling on or pursuing things that one cannot understand immediately.
Of course, when it comes to carrying out a mission, it's a completely different story.
Whenever she is on a mission, she is like a keen falcon, with sharp eyes and amazing insight, never missing a single clue.
