Qin Qianluo stood quietly, her gaze fixed on the Emperor Emeritus, her eyes filled with a surging tide of respect that seemed to overflow.
Deep down, she deeply admired the Emperor Emeritus's choice.
How could she not know that the Emperor Emeritus was fully aware of the danger the Emperor was facing? Those were his blood relatives, so how could he not be worried?
However, at this critical juncture when the situation was as tangled as a tangled mess and the crisis loomed like a dark cloud,...
The retired emperor, with extraordinary courage and magnanimity, resolutely put the safety of the people first.
He made such a difficult and extraordinary choice, yet it fully reflects the will of the world—putting the people first and his own family second.
This demonstrates a broad-mindedness that shoulders the well-being of all people, and a courageous sense of responsibility shown under such heavy pressure.
It complements his noble and supreme status perfectly, shining like a brilliant star, inspiring sincere respect and boundless admiration.
Qin Qianluo's expression was solemn and dignified, like a mountain that had weathered the vicissitudes of time yet remained steady and resolute, carrying with it reverence and loyalty to her mission.
He replied emphatically, "Your subject obeys!"
The voice was firm and powerful, as if it burst forth from the depths of her soul, containing immense strength, and echoed clearly and loudly in the room like a great bell.
Each syllable struck like a heavy hammer, resonating in everyone's hearts and demonstrating her unwavering loyalty to her mission and her steadfast commitment to her responsibilities.
Qin Shouzhen and Lin Ruoqing responded without hesitation, their voices filled with unwavering loyalty and a resolute determination to forge ahead without fear.
It was as if they were swearing an oath to heaven and earth, that they would do their utmost for this mission, even if it meant going through fire and water.
As Su Jinyun witnessed the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager, who seemed to have aged considerably in that short moment, a wave of bitterness and emotion welled up in her heart.
It was as if a bottle of mixed flavors had been spilled, with all sorts of complex emotions intertwined.
This sudden change was like a fierce and merciless storm, sweeping in with overwhelming force.
What a heavy blow and pain this brought to these two noble and kind elders.
With deep respect and concern, Su Jinyun gracefully leaned forward slightly and respectfully bowed, her movements slow and solemn.
Every subtle gesture was filled with her respect and heartache for the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager, as if she were offering them silent comfort and support in this way.
Since his abdication, the retired emperor has always referred to himself as "I," demonstrating humility and modesty.
He seemed to have distanced himself from the majesty and glory brought by the supreme imperial power, and was more like an ordinary elder, enjoying the peaceful time after abdication.
Yet today, at this critical juncture concerning the life and death of the nation and its destiny, he once again refers to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I, the Imperial Emperor").
This single word, "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I, the Emperor"), is like a resounding hammer blow, a solemn and powerful return to and emphasis on his former imperial status.
It was also a declaration to everyone present, and indeed to all the people of the Ning Dynasty.
The Ning Dynasty will never abandon its people in times of crisis, nor will it forsake its subjects in times of turmoil.
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, no matter how great the challenges, Ningchao will always take the well-being of all people as its primary responsibility.
We will steadfastly protect every citizen as if they were our most precious treasure, never abandoning them, and remaining by their side through life and death.
Qin Qianluo watched as the Emperor Emeritus summoned his bodyguard. The two leaned closer and whispered something to each other. The bodyguard looked solemn and immediately prepared to leave.
Just as the guard turned to leave, Qin Qianluo calmly and unhurriedly reached out her hand to stop him.
Her gaze, like a soft yet firm beam of light, slowly swept over everyone in the room, her eyes carrying a mysterious smile and a confident gleam.
Under the gazes of the crowd, filled with doubt, confusion, and even bewilderment, Qin Qianluo, like a magician wielding mysterious power, calmly took out the off-road vehicle.
The car had a unique design, with smooth and dynamic lines, and its body exuded a cold and modern metallic luster.
It seemed out of place in this antique and traditionally charming space.
Yet, it exudes a unique charm that is impossible to ignore, as if it were a mysterious visitor from another time and space.
