Just as she was filled with worry and at her wit's end, she glanced up and saw Qin Qianluo stepping into the Imperial Study.
In an instant, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a flame of hope seemed to ignite in her eyes. A feeling of surprise spread rapidly across her face like ripples.
In this difficult situation, which seemed as dark as the sun being obscured by clouds, the appearance of Qin Qianluo was like a dazzling ray of dawn breaking through the darkness.
This led her to subconsciously place all her hopes on the regent.
She eagerly hoped that Qin Qianluo could, as always, come up with a brilliant solution to resolve the current crisis.
In fact, just now, Ning Yuanhe had already weighed the options repeatedly in her mind.
He made up his mind to immediately send someone by fast horse to Prince Zhao's residence to earnestly request that Qin Qianluo come to the Imperial Study to discuss important matters.
However, before she could even utter the words, Qin Qianluo arrived in a hurry, as if she were telepathically connected with her.
This unexpected coincidence instantly brought a surge of relief to Ning Yuanhe's heavy heart, as if she had grasped a lifeline in the dark abyss.
Ning Yuanhe deliberately ignored the anger on Qin Qianluo's face. She quickly closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed her anxiety and unease.
He quickly adjusted his chaotic emotions and tried his best to demonstrate the composure and dignity that a monarch should have.
She stood upright, raised her hand and waved it gently, her posture elegant and decisive, signaling the servants to offer seats to Qin Qianluo and Su Jinyun.
After the two were settled in their seats, she leaned forward slightly, her upper body straight as a pine tree, her eyes full of sincerity and expectation, like two beams of blazing light, looking directly at Qin Qianluo.
Although she tried her best to keep her voice steady and to project composure, the slight tremor at the end of her voice still betrayed a hint of anxiety and longing.
She slowly began to speak: "The Regent is also aware of this matter. I wonder if the Regent has any insight into it?"
At this moment, Qin Qianluo seemed to be in another world, completely forgetting her original intention of coming to the Imperial Study to oust the Regent's throne.
She sat quietly in the chair, leaning slightly forward, like an ancient statue lost in thought, frozen in the river of time.
Those two thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, like two mountains pressing against each other.
It seems to contain all the world's intricate problems, and every fold is filled with focus and solemnity.
Her eyes were deep and unfocused, as if she had traversed the reality before her and was wandering through the fog of questions, trying to find the truth hidden deep within.
All the noise and commotion around her were like fleeting clouds, unable to disturb her in the slightest.
Su Jinyun sat down to the side and gently took the stack of memorials from the Emperor Emeritus's hands.
As she slowly unfolded it, the moment her gaze fell upon the densely packed characters, she felt as if struck by lightning, her pupils instantly contracting sharply.
It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping my heart tightly.
Involuntarily, a gasp escaped my lips: "How could such a bizarre, absurd, and unimaginable thing happen in this world?"
Every word on the memorial was like a sharp dagger, piercing her heart with pain.
The text provides a detailed and meticulous description of the catastrophic disasters suffered by the surrounding small countries, a scene that resembles the end of the world.
The torrential rain poured down like a celestial river bursting its banks, unleashing a flood that, like a raging beast, devoured everything in its path.
The earth trembled, the ground shook, houses collapsed instantly, and countless lives were buried; the sun blazed high, drought raged, the land cracked, and crops failed to yield a single harvest...
Natural disasters, like the ferocious claws of demons, relentlessly and frantically tore at the land and people of those countries, plunging them into endless pain and despair.
In stark contrast, Zhaoning Kingdom was like a paradise, peaceful and serene, as if it had never been tainted by the suffering of the world.
It was as if they were protected by some mysterious and powerful force beyond human comprehension, thus escaping the scourge of this disaster.
Suddenly, like a lightning bolt piercing the dark night sky, a phrase once spoken by Master Xuwu flashed through Su Jinyun's mind.
Those words struck her heart like a heavy hammer.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, like the first snow of winter, overwhelmed by an unprecedented fear and worry, like a surging tide.
It surged into her heart like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming her.
She suddenly raised her head, her once bright and lively eyes now completely filled with worry and fear.
He stared intently at Qin Qianluo, his eyes seemingly filled with despair and helplessness.
Her mind was in turmoil, a jumble of thoughts intertwined like a tangled mess.
Could it be that Qianluo used her innate and uniquely blessed fortune to protect the entire Zhaoning Kingdom?
How profound must this blessing be, and how enormous must the price be paid!
If not, how can such a bizarre and illogical event be explained?
The retired emperor and the new emperor were already watching the two women's every move intently, their eyes never leaving them for a moment.
Seeing Su Jinyun's eyes change color instantly, as if struck by an invisible electric current, it was as if he had been struck by a sudden, icy shock.
Both of them felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, as if an invisible hand had gripped their souls tightly.
They instinctively followed Su Jinyun's gaze and eagerly looked at Qin Qianluo.
The retired emperor, being experienced and knowledgeable, immediately understood the reason for Su Jinyun's worries.
