That smile was like the most beautiful and charming flower in spring when all the flowers are in bloom, brimming with vitality and warmth.
It seems to dispel all the gloom and coldness in the world, giving people hope and strength.
Immediately afterwards, she leaned forward slightly, her movements elegant and dignified, like a crane gracefully dancing.
He slowly knelt down on the smooth, spotless ground and performed a grand salute with the utmost sincerity and solemnity.
This sudden and unexpected action, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattered the original atmosphere inside the hall.
The new emperor and the retired emperor, who were talking in hushed tones, suddenly widened their eyes as if they had been frozen in place.
His expression froze instantly, filled with undisguised shock and astonishment.
Their eyes were fixed on Qin Qianluo, as if trying to find the deeper meaning behind her actions, but they couldn't understand why she would perform such a grand gesture at this moment.
Qin Qianluo knelt quietly on the ground, her back straight as a pine tree on a towering mountain, resolute and unyielding.
Her tone was firm and sincere, each word seemingly forged from the fiery furnace deep within her heart, resounding with conviction.
As if carrying a penetrating power: "Your Majesty and the Emperor Emeritus are deeply grateful for your great kindness and love, but in this matter, it is indeed most appropriate for me to go."
Although I lack the ability to see through heaven and earth, I am somewhat familiar with methods to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Moreover, I have divine beasts by my side, which may protect me.
Although my other colleagues are all pillars of society, they may lack the opportunities and support I have received in dealing with the uncertainties on the border.
If they go rashly, I am truly worried that they will be in danger and suffer unnecessary losses.
On this trip, I only hope to conduct a thorough investigation and perhaps find some clues about the root cause of the natural disaster.
If a glimmer of hope can be found in this matter, it would be my great fortune. Therefore, I humbly request that the Emperor Emeritus and Your Majesty, in consideration of my sincere intentions, grant me permission to travel.”
The Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus's eyes met unexpectedly. This brief exchange was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in their hearts.
A thousand flavors and ten thousand thoughts surge and churn within, yet they are difficult to clearly describe in words.
In the Emperor's eyes, there was both deep emotion for Qin Qianluo's sincerity and sense of responsibility, and worry about the complex and unknown situation at present.
That worry shrouded the depths of her eyes like a dark cloud.
The Emperor Emeritus's gaze held a profound depth, honed by the vicissitudes of time, and a subtle concern for the future of the nation.
He knew that every decision he made in this situation was related to the rise and fall of the Zhaoning Kingdom.
The emperor straightened his body slightly, his expression growing increasingly solemn, as if the weight of the entire world rested on his shoulders.
She took a deep breath, as if to temporarily calm the myriad thoughts in her heart.
Then he slowly opened his mouth, his voice echoing in the silent hall, yet the last syllable carried a hint of deep contemplation.
It was as if every word had been carefully weighed and considered in his heart: "Your Majesty, please rise first."
This matter is not something that can be decided by human power. If any small neighboring country dares to harbor disloyal intentions and cause trouble, it could lead to disaster.
I will personally discipline my troops and enforce order, and will absolutely not allow them to disturb the peace of my territory.
Qin Qianluo stood like a steadfast monument, kneeling firmly and motionless, as if time had stood still around her.
Her heart was like a surging ocean, with countless thoughts colliding and intertwining like turbulent waves.
A vivid image flashed through her mind: what if the surrounding small countries were ignited with resentment by this sudden, nightmarish natural disaster?
If they then launch a rebellion without regard for the consequences, the outcome will be unimaginable.
Admittedly, with the formidable national strength of Zhaoning Kingdom, it would not be difficult to raise an army to punish those who harbor ill intentions, attempt to challenge the authority of Zhaoning Kingdom, and rebel.
The army of Zhaoning Kingdom was well-trained and well-equipped, like a sleeping lion.
Once awakened, it will undoubtedly display unparalleled power, suppressing the rebellion with thunderous force, demonstrating the majesty of the law, and defending the dignity of the nation.
However, behind this seemingly inevitable victory lie many hidden crises.
Such a military operation would undoubtedly drop a bombshell on the hearts of the people, plunging them into a state of panic and unease.
The people will live like frightened birds, constantly filled with fear and worry, and despair for the future.
As for the emperor, the ruler of the country revered by all the people, his reputation for wisdom will inevitably suffer immeasurable negative impact as a result.
This is not only about the emperor's personal prestige, but also about the stability and development of the entire country. It is like the foundation of a building; once it is shaken, the whole building will face the danger of collapsing.
What is even more crucial and unsettling for Qin Qianluo is that a strong premonition, like a persistent leech, lingers in her heart.
This premonition, like a pair of eyes peering into the darkness, sent chills down her spine.
She had a vague feeling that this natural disaster was not a simple natural phenomenon, but rather that a mysterious force was carefully orchestrating and controlling everything behind the scenes.
If Zhaoning Kingdom chooses to stand idly by and ignore the suffering of the surrounding small countries, then this raging natural disaster, which is like the arrival of a demon, will be in vain.
It is very likely that it will spread rapidly into Zhaoning territory like a surging, unstoppable tide.
What a disaster that would be! It would mercilessly drag this once peaceful, tranquil, and vibrant land into an endless abyss of darkness.
Like an invisible giant hand, it destroyed all the beautiful moments of Zhaoning Kingdom, bringing utter disaster to the country and its people.
