It's as if their thinking has been subtly altered, and they feel that all of this is perfectly natural and without any sense of incongruity.
It was as if everything she did was the most normal thing in the world.
Looking at the matter of Prince Xian, it is like a complex and intricate fog, with all sorts of entanglements and undercurrents that are inherently mysterious, unpredictable, and strange.
Every detail, every conversation, seems to conceal a deeper meaning unknown to others.
The Yangzhou Slim Horse Incident was like a bottomless pool of black water, involving many complex interests, hidden social phenomena, and intricate networks of connections.
In handling these matters, many details seemed extremely unusual.
Those seemingly insignificant little things, in retrospect, seem like carefully laid traps or clues that hide the truth.
However, at that time, she was focused on solving the thorny problem at hand, like a traveler groping forward in the dark, only seeing a small patch of light under her feet.
They didn't pay much attention to these unusual things, letting those important clues slip through their fingers.
Now, as these memories are gradually pieced together in her mind like jigsaw puzzle pieces, each one seems to shimmer with an unusual light.
Within those rays of light lay both regret for past neglect and fear and unease at the impending revelation of the truth.
The deeper Qin Qianluo recalled, the more she felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment wash over her.
She knew perfectly well that her inner world had always been a free and unrestrained realm.
Various thoughts, like wild horses, gallop freely and unrestrainedly across the grasslands of the mind.
For her, mentally criticizing others is as natural as breathing, and the range of people she criticizes is astonishing.
From the sanctimonious officials in the imperial court to the retired emperor and the current emperor in the deep palace, none were spared.
The thought that these feelings might have already been broadcast clearly to everyone made her feel a strong sense of shame burning in her heart like a raging fire.
I wish I could find a deep, dark hole in the ground right now and disappear there forever, never to set foot in that awkward and embarrassing world again.
To those who could hear her thoughts, her ideas might seem like an absurd and illogical farce.
Such unbridled and undisguised behavior could easily lead to being regarded as a monster or an outcast and subjected to the scorn and rejection of the masses.
It was already a stroke of luck that fate had been exceptionally kind to her; it was a great blessing bestowed upon her by heaven.
No wonder the Emperor was wary of her; indeed, Qin Qianluo was not unaware of the Emperor's suspicion towards her.
Although since the emperor ascended the throne, he has outwardly shown her considerable importance in court.
His words revealed his appreciation and admiration for her talent, as if she were an indispensable pillar of the court.
However, like a keen hunter, she astutely perceived it with her delicate senses and insightful wisdom.
The emperor's actual actions did not entirely match his apparent high regard for the emperor.
Moreover, the Emperor's occasional glances at her, seemingly calm and serene like a deep lake, actually concealed hidden secrets.
The suspicion and defensiveness subtly revealed in his eyes were like sharp reefs hidden beneath a calm lake surface; though not easily revealed, they were keenly noticed by her.
Whenever the Emperor's gaze swept over her, she could sense a scrutinizing and suspicious undertone, as if he were probing the secrets deep within her heart.
It was precisely because of this keen awareness that Qin Qianlu deliberately concealed her sharpness for a period of time.
Like a tiger that has folded its claws, it no longer frequently presents novel and unique things, nor does it make a name for itself in the court.
Try to minimize your presence in the court and carefully avoid causing more unnecessary trouble.
She knew all too well that in this ancient world where imperial power reigned supreme, a single misstep could plunge one into an abyss of no return.
Originally, she had been completely bewildered by the Emperor's change of attitude, as if she were in a fog.
Why did the emperor suddenly lower his guard against her, no longer as suspicious and scrutinizing as before?
Not only that, but he would also give her some inexplicable rewards from time to time. These rewards came without warning, like pies falling from the sky, leaving people puzzled.
