But the thought of Yao Guang and the others lessened his worries somewhat.
Even so, faced with this unknown crisis, everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts, as if a massive boulder was pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.
Everyone understands that what is coming is perhaps an unprecedented severe test, a cruel challenge concerning life and death, and a turning point in destiny.
They must muster all their courage and make full preparations to meet this difficult challenge where life and death are unknown and the future is uncertain.
Qin Qianlu nodded slightly, the slight movement seemingly carrying immense weight of thought, as if she were carefully considering and deciding on the unknown road ahead.
She moved with a light and graceful gait, each step elegant and steady, as if time itself slowed and became heavy beneath her feet.
As I entered the inner room, my gaze wandered among the dazzling array of magnificent robes, finally settling on a solemn and dignified court robe.
The court robe was dark in color, like the sky after nightfall, deep and mysterious. The embroidery on it was exquisite and delicate, and the silk threads shimmered with a faint luster in the dim light.
Like stars scattered throughout, every stitch and thread embodies exquisite craftsmanship and past glory, telling the story of the vicissitudes of time and the inheritance of mission.
She carefully picked up the court robe, gently shook it open, and slowly put it on, every movement meticulous, as if she were performing a sacred ritual.
She carefully smoothed out every wrinkle on her court dress, her focused expression like that of a craftsman carving a rare treasure, allowing no room for the slightest flaw.
After dressing herself properly, she moved to the silver mirror, her gaze slowly sweeping over her reflection, scrutinizing every detail to ensure her appearance was flawless.
She slightly adjusted the angle of the hairpin, allowing it to reflect just the right amount of light, and then lightly brushed her sleeves to reaffirm her overall demeanor.
Only then, with a calm expression and a detached air, did he step out of the inner room.
She followed the eunuch who had come to deliver the imperial decree, walking along the winding palace road.
The palace walls on both sides of the palace road soar into the clouds, like silent guardians, quietly protecting this mysterious and majestic palace.
The dappled sunlight fell on them, as if telling the story of the long and changing years in the palace.
Qin Qianlu walked with a calm and steady pace, neither hurried nor slow, each step firm and powerful, as if strolling through the long river of history.
Her gaze was firm, fixed straight ahead, as if the challenges she was about to face were fleeting clouds, unable to shake the peace in her heart.
The occasional footsteps along the palace path echoed in the silent air, as if playing a silent melody for her progress.
Upon entering the palace, Qin Qianluo's gaze was immediately drawn to Crown Prince Xiao, who sat regally in the main seat.
Prince Xiao wore a seemingly gentle smile, a smile like a flower blooming in spring, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
However, Qin Qianluo's keen intuition sensed that there seemed to be a deeper meaning hidden behind the smile, like a turbulent undercurrent lurking beneath a calm lake.
Qin Qianluo's expression remained calm and composed, like a deep lake without a ripple.
She bowed gracefully, her figure light and graceful, like a willow branch swaying in the wind, displaying unparalleled poise and elegance.
After completing the ceremony, she stood quietly in place, her expression calm and composed, like a majestic mountain, steady and resolute.
They waited quietly for Prince Xiao to unveil the mystery surrounding this summons.
This Crown Prince Xiao, whose real name is Ning Yuancheng, is the elder brother of the twins that Qin Qianluo witnessed the Empress giving birth to.
Memories flood back; it was a day filled with joy and hope, when a little life was born into the world with a clear cry.
From that moment on, Qin Qianluo witnessed every moment of Ning Yuancheng's growth.
From a newborn infant crying for milk, to a toddler taking his first steps, and now to a dashing and heroic crown prince.
Every step of Ning Yuancheng's growth is deeply imprinted in Qin Qianluo's heart.
In Qin Qianluo's eyes, he was not only a member of the royal family with noble blood, but also a close relative whom she had carefully raised.
This feeling is like a fine wine, becoming more mellow and profound with age.
However, it is now known that the soul within Ning Yuancheng's body has most likely been replaced by that evil and treacherous person.
Qin Qianluo felt as if her heart had been pierced by a sharp blade, and a piercing pain instantly spread throughout her body.
Her doubts surged like waves, one after another, making it impossible for her to imagine what kind of evil cult was.
He possesses such extraordinary abilities that he can remain hidden for many years under the close surveillance of others without being detected, moving through the darkness like a ghost.
