His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.

A biting north wind howled, and snowflakes fluttered down outside the hall, blanketing the world in silver. Inside, everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

The ministers were also full of curiosity about how this woman planned to end things, after all, the Crown Prince of War was exceptionally intelligent and decisive from a young age, and was not an utterly foolish person.

No one could imagine that they would actually be outmaneuvered by this woman and lose the prestige and wealth of the entire War King's Mansion.

However, when they thought of what 001 had said at the beginning, their hearts pounded again, and they continued to listen with trepidation and uncertainty.

If Qin Qianluo's attention could be diverted even a little bit at this moment, she would definitely realize that what her colleagues were saying was completely nonsensical.

It was just a bunch of people talking nonsense, repeating the same thing over and over again, with absolutely no logic.

And their peripheral vision was all subtly drifting toward her, their gazes revealing an indescribable strangeness.

Unfortunately, her attention was completely absorbed in the light screen, and she was intently watching the seemingly weak woman on the screen who was cunningly deceiving others.

001 flipped through the documents, oblivious to her surroundings. "Luo Bao, Ning Chenjin did indeed come to the capital with the War King. That woman is currently in his room, and the two of them are being all lovey-dovey."

As she spoke, 001 thoughtfully switched the light screen so that Qin Qianlu could see clearly.

The scene on the screen instantly changed, from the woman's scam to Ning Chenjin and the woman embracing tightly.

The cold wind howled outside the window, and the window frame creaked slightly, but an ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.

Ning Chenjin stood tall and straight, his black brocade robe highlighting his nobility. His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection as he stared intently at the beauty in his arms, as if he wanted to melt her into his very bones.

The woman, dressed in a moon-white silk dress, with a graceful figure, nestled in his arms like a willow swaying in the breeze.

Her small face, occasionally tilted up, was as smooth as jade, her eyebrows and eyes filled with affection, her gaze full of shyness, and a few strands of hair fell beside her fair neck, adding to her charming and touching beauty.

The two whispered to each other. Ning Chenjin leaned down slightly, his thin lips lightly touching the woman's ear. The warm breath from his whisper made her earlobe turn red, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

She tilted her head back coquettishly, parted her red lips slightly, and spoke a few words in a soft voice. Her voice seemed to have a hook, making Ning Chenjin's heart itch.

He was completely captivated, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting affection as he gently stroked the woman's silky hair, his fingers slowly weaving through it.

It was as if it were the most precious treasure in the world, something she couldn't bear to let go of. From time to time, the woman would shyly lower her head, her appearance resembling a water lily unable to withstand the cool breeze.

Occasionally, she would gently pat Ning Chenjin's chest with her soft, boneless hand, the movement as gentle as a spring breeze, carrying a lingering affection that was hard to express and a hint of coy reluctance.

This action caused Ning Chenjin to hold her even tighter. He lowered his head and whispered in the woman's ear, his warm breath brushing against her cheek, causing a charming blush to rise on her face.

The woman swayed slightly, as if she were being coquettish. One hand rested lightly on Ning Chenjin's shoulder, her fingers gently twitching, while the other hand gently encircled Ning Chenjin's neck.

Ning Chenjin's smile deepened, and he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist as if afraid she would suddenly disappear. He also buried his head in the woman's neck and gently rubbed against her.

The woman tilted her head slightly, her eyes glazed over, and gently breathed into Ning Chenjin's ear. Ning Chenjin trembled and hugged the woman even tighter.

She lightly ran her fingers along Ning Chenjin's back, with a hint of provocation.

Ning Chenjin took her restless hand, placed it to his lips and gently kissed it. The woman giggled, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells.

Their bodies drew closer and closer, their breathing becoming rapid. The woman tiptoed, bringing her face ever closer to Ning Chenjin's, as if they were about to kiss.

Ning Chenjin's eyes were filled with anticipation and longing; his burning gaze seemed capable of melting everything.

Seeing this blush-inducing and heart-pounding scene, many officials blushed instantly, exchanging bewildered glances with awkwardness and unease in their eyes.

Some of the old ministers who always valued etiquette and followed the rules were so angry that their faces turned as red as pig liver and their breathing became rapid.

If they hadn't retained a sliver of reason, they would have known perfectly well that they absolutely could not make a sound at this moment, lest Princess Qingyun notice their unusual behavior.

Knowing that they could hear her thoughts, she probably couldn't help but curse and vent her anger and dissatisfaction.

When the War King caught a glimpse of this scene, he awkwardly looked away, his facial muscles twitching slightly as he muttered to himself.

He really didn't want to admit that the person smiling so infatuatedly and with such tender eyes on the screen was his own son, the one he had placed so much hope in and who was usually so spirited.

This is so shameful! If that woman hadn't been a swindler with ill intentions, I might have been somewhat pleased to see this.

After all, this meant that his lineage could continue, and that his eldest son liked women and was not a heartless person.

But the woman was not only a swindler, but also a married woman. The fact that so many people had witnessed this scene fueled his rage and anger.

As the emperor looked at the images on the screen, he couldn't help but recall that he had been shown in the same way in his study before.

Seeing his elder brother's slightly annoyed and extremely embarrassed expression, he unceremoniously curled his lips, revealing a hint of schadenfreude on his face.

In this light, it doesn't seem like entirely a bad thing. After all, my nephew was deceived by that cunning woman, and it wasn't intentional.

I had already lost face in front of all the officials before, and now my eldest brother is facing such an embarrassing situation, even though it wasn't my eldest brother who made the mistake.

But seeing his elder brother's angry and helpless expression, he unexpectedly felt a sense of balance and comfort.

Su Jinyun turned her head slightly, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction as she looked at the scene on the screen, feeling genuinely unhappy.

This 001 is really becoming more and more out of line, showing such a scene to Qianluo so openly. What if it corrupts Qianluo?

If I get the chance in the future, I'll catch 001 and give it a good beating, teach it a lesson it won't forget.

While sharing 001 with Qin Qianluo, the little phoenix's body trembled violently for no apparent reason, and a strange feeling welled up in its heart.

But it quickly forgot about it and didn't take it to heart. Seeing that the screen was already showing the scene of Ning Chenjin and the woman, it continued to describe it vividly.

This woman was eloquent and tricked Ning Chenjin into believing she was pregnant, thus persuading him to purchase countless silks, satins, and rare treasures for her during this period.

As soon as those items came into her hands, she sold them without hesitation and exchanged them for money.

When she learned that Ning Chenjin was coming to the capital with the War King, she used all her charm and pleaded with him to come along.

Now she is even more ambitious and greedy, wanting Ning Chenjin to buy her several houses in the capital. Once she gets the land deeds, she is ready to leave without hesitation.

Ning Chenjin had previously bought her many valuable items, and her own private treasury had long been emptied, leaving her with nothing.

Nevertheless, he was still bewitched and secretly took a lot of money from the house.

Furthermore, he audaciously falsified accounts to deceive Princess Zhan, intending to make up for the deficit later when the money in his own shop was settled.

Little did he know that the land deed for the shop in his hands had long been secretly taken away by this scheming woman and given to her husband.

Now, this woman's husband is taking advantage of the Prince of War's family's return to the capital to resell goods with impunity.

She also went to great lengths to take advantage of Ning Chenjin's favor towards her, secretly stealing the defense map of the War King's fiefdom, attempting to sell it to other countries for huge profits.

After arriving in the capital, she became even more audacious, planning to steal the city's defense map as well, intending to sell it, then conceal her identity and escape to another country to live a carefree life.

Upon hearing this, the ministers' faces instantly became extremely serious, their expressions as somber as dark clouds.

Some of them frowned, some gasped, and others couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

It should be understood that if the defense map were to be bought by other countries, it would undoubtedly bring utter destruction to the entire War King's Mansion.

Those old ministers, who always paid great attention to etiquette and rules, stiffened slightly at this moment, almost slipping the court tablets they had been stroking for a long time, and the wrinkles on their faces instantly turned into deeper creases.

At this moment, he no longer cared about secretly criticizing the Prince of War for his lack of manners, and quickly turned all his attention to the crucial defense map.

Ning Jun had no time to be angry at this moment. His originally upright posture was now slightly hunched, as if his backbone had been removed.

Anger flared in his eyes, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked, and the brocade sleeves were creased with deep wrinkles.

If the defense map is successfully sold, it will inevitably plunge the entire War King's Mansion into a desperate situation, beyond redemption.

Even if the Emperor were to show favoritism, he would likely find it difficult to protect the entire Prince Zhan's household.

After all, if this really happens, the people's anger will be impossible to quell, and he will have no choice but to atone with his death to give the people an explanation.

Large beads of sweat appeared on Ning Jun's forehead, his anger dissipated, and he looked utterly dejected.

The emperor at the head of the table quickly put away his previous gloating expression, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.

His fingers, which had been casually resting on the armrest, suddenly tightened, knuckles turning white, making the armrest crack. He leaned forward slightly, lost in thought.

Could this woman be a spy sent by the other two countries? After all, the Xuanyuan Kingdom had sent many spies to spy on them before.

Upon hearing that the person was involved in stealing the defense map, he instinctively assumed that their identity must be extraordinary, far beyond that of a simple conman.

Qin Qianluo was also shocked and her eyes widened. At first, when she heard that the woman was swindling money, she did not think that the situation was that serious.

Although he was quite unhappy about it, he didn't spend too much time thinking about it. He was still wondering how losing some money could affect the entire War King's Mansion.

However, when she heard the news of the stolen defense map, she suddenly realized what was going on and began to take it seriously.

He straightened up slightly, his eyes fixed on the light screen, and began to scrutinize the woman in it with renewed focus.

After a moment, he asked 001, "Did she sell the defense map of the War King's fiefdom? And did she get the defense map of the capital?"

After asking the question, he unconsciously gripped the jade pendant at his waist, standing there somewhat tensely, waiting for 001's reply.
