The family sat around, chatting happily. Qin Qianlu handed the cloak to her mother and sister, and then took out the boots specially made for the four of them. They were also made by Qianchao after 001 found a video, and the style was exquisite.
The Qin family tried it on and found it to be the perfect size, so they happily put it away. After dinner, Qin Qianluo took her belongings and returned to the Left Prime Minister's residence with her family.
With tears in his eyes, the steward bid farewell to the princess. He had thought she would stay for a few more days, but she only stayed for two. His heart was filled with reluctance and sadness, wondering when the princess would be able to stay at the princess's residence for a long time.
Back home, Qin Qianluo stepped into her courtyard, took a deep breath, and completely relaxed. But the thought of the map of Xuanyuan Kingdom still weighed on her mind.
If I were to hand over the floor plan to my father as before, would the Emperor believe me? If he didn't, wouldn't that mean missing a crucial opportunity? But I haven't revealed that I secretly slipped away, so there's no need to use the floor plan to offset the crime of deceiving the Emperor.
She didn't want to expose herself, but she also wanted the Emperor to send troops as soon as possible. What should she do? Qin Qianluo racked her brains but couldn't come up with a good solution. With a determined look, she decided to leave it to her father for now.
Anyway, she had a backup copy. If the Emperor didn't believe her, she could take it out later. Thinking this, Qin Qianluo quietly came to the outside of Prime Minister Qin's study.
As before, she slipped the items into the study while the guards were distracted, and then quietly left. The hidden guards outside the study were somewhat helpless; the young lady really didn't need to be so cautious, and the guards wouldn't suddenly appear.
Upon receiving the news, Qin Xiang rushed to his study. Seeing the thick stack of papers, he felt a pang of sorrow. Luo'er's journey must have been incredibly arduous to bring back so much information.
He stepped forward and opened the booklet. The contents enraged him. Could this really happen in a country? The emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom was truly tyrannical and wicked, and his sins were heinous.
Prime Minister Qin hurriedly headed to the palace with all the documents. This matter was of utmost urgency; he was determined to meet with the Emperor today and urge him to send troops as soon as possible. Fortunately, the national treasury was currently full and supplies were plentiful; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the confidence to do so.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Study, Prime Minister Qin presented the documents. The Emperor flipped through the books, his face growing increasingly grim. He had already guessed from the young maid of the Qin family that the Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom was not a benevolent ruler, but he hadn't expected him to be so despicable.
The addictive opium, the cruel exploitation of women, and so on, were all clearly documented, and all of this enraged the emperor.
The Emperor slammed his hand on the dragon throne, his expression grim, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Xuanyuan's evil deeds are obvious, and I will definitely send troops to punish him and restore order to the world!"
Qin Xiang immediately knelt down and loudly replied, "Your Majesty is wise! This is a righteous army, in accordance with the principles of Heaven and the hearts of the people. Your subject will do everything in his power to share Your Majesty's burdens."
The Emperor calmed his anger and asked Prime Minister Qin to rise. He turned to the other side of the paper, which turned out to be a map of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. The Emperor quickly ordered the eunuchs to bring a large table, spread out the map, and examined it with Prime Minister Qin.
The map was extremely detailed, with the defenses of each county marked in elegant small characters. Although it wasn't the handwriting that the young lady from the Qin family usually used, some traces of it could still be seen.
The deployment of each prefecture and county was clearly and meticulously marked on the side, including the time of day and the officials guarding the city. With this map, taking down the Xuanyuan Kingdom would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
Shocked, the Emperor felt a pang of tenderness. Drawing up a map with 001's assistance might not be difficult, but the feat of deploying such detailed defenses was remarkable. For such a young girl from the Qin family to accomplish this must have been incredibly difficult.
Thinking of what the imperial physician had said about the little girl from the Qin family losing a lot of weight, the emperor felt even more distressed. This trip must have been extremely dangerous, which was why he had obtained such a detailed defense map.
The Emperor then instructed Eunuch Liu to add more to the original reward and send it to the Left Prime Minister's residence. Although it could not be publicly commended, the young girl from the Qin family had made an immense contribution, unmatched by anyone in the court, and a reward was essential.
After a moment's thought, the Emperor said, "The Shadow Guard's message should arrive in the capital in about five days. We should mention this in court five days later so that the little girl won't become suspicious."
Qin Xiang nodded in agreement. Although he wanted to send troops immediately, he had to keep the fact that he could hear Luo'er's thoughts a secret, so he couldn't trust the information without verification. Five days wasn't a long time.
Inside the imperial study, the two discussed the matter further. After confirming that everything was in order, Prime Minister Qin returned to his residence to rest, waiting to announce the military expedition five days later.
The next day, Qin Qianluo went to a farm in the suburbs. She planned to settle everyone in the space there, and to outsiders, she would say that they were newly purchased people. She would take Ling Xue and the other two with her, which would make things much more convenient.
Upon arriving at the farm, Qin Qianluo first went to check on the poultry farm. The poultry there were plump and healthy, which was very pleasing to the eye.
She then went to check on the newly planted crops, which were growing well, and was very satisfied. The factory on the farm was also operating normally. She looked around, chatted with the people on the farm for a few minutes, and then went to the main hall.
After closing the door, Qin Qianluo led more than a dozen people out of the space and let them stay temporarily in the vacant rooms of the farm. She told them to let her know if they had any ideas later.
After seeing everyone agree and look around with curiosity, Qin Qianlu waved her hand, letting them go and familiarize themselves with the environment on their own.
Ling Xue and the other two stood motionless, holding the two babies. Qin Qianluo looked at the babies; they had grown plump and healthy over the past few days, their big, watery eyes making them incredibly adorable.
But what should be done with these two babies? They can't keep having Qianchao and the others take care of them, since they are all unmarried young women and it would be inconvenient for them to take care of children.
Should she take them back to the manor herself? But how should she explain it to her mother? Qin Qianluo was a little worried. After thinking it over, she decided to say that she had found them herself; that wouldn't be considered lying.
