His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.
Chapter 2 The Ministers Hear the Heart's Voice
Entering the palace, Qianluo secretly glanced around, inwardly marveling to the system, "As expected of the palace, it's even more exquisite, magnificent, and antique than in the TV dramas."
"Of course, most TV dramas use sets, but this is a real ancient palace, incredibly exquisite."
As the two talked, Qianluo walked to her seat and sat down, unaware of the sudden change in the expressions of the ministers around her, who began to whisper among themselves, "Who was speaking just now?"
"I don't know, there were too many people. I could only tell it was a little girl, but I don't know whose daughter she is."
Amidst the hushed whispers, the Qin family members had calmly settled down. Over the past few days, they had grown accustomed to the situation and were certain that their youngest daughter had been reincarnated with memories of her previous life. The system called 001 couldn't harm her, although they didn't know why it called her Luo'er Luo Bao—they'd never called her that before. But they were certain that the system protected Luo'er. Amidst the whispers and the Qin family's wild speculations, a shrill eunuch's voice rang out: "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"
Everyone rose and bowed, saying, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!"
"My beloved subjects, rise. Today is my birthday; there is no need for such formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
After Qianluo and the others stood up, she sat down in her seat and secretly glanced at the Emperor and Empress. In her mind, she thought to the system, "The Emperor looks so young, and quite handsome too. I thought emperors were all pot-bellied. Wow~ The Empress is so beautiful! 'A smile that could launch a thousand ships, eclipsing all the beauties of the six palaces,' that's what they mean by the Empress. Looking at her now, the Emperor's looks are a bit lacking. The Empress is much more pleasing to the eye."
The system's exasperated childlike voice rang out, "Luo Bao, don't be so obsessed with looks! Your parents are good-looking too, and your older brother and sister are good-looking as well. Why can't you take your eyes off pretty girls?"
"001 You don't understand. This is called appreciating beauty. Although my parents and siblings are all good-looking, I've seen them for eleven years. Even the most beautiful people can get tired of each other. It's perfectly understandable to look at different beauties."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the ministers who could hear her were stunned. All the court officials were shocked. Whose daughter was this, so bold as to speak ill of the emperor?
The Qin family members: Is Luo'er disgusted with us? Does she think we're not pretty enough?
The Emperor and Empress exchanged a shocked glance. The Empress was secretly pleased, as such a straightforward compliment made her blush slightly. The Emperor, however, was not happy. What did he mean by saying that his looks were not good enough?
The person fifty meters away, unable to hear the whispers, looked at the person in front of them strangely. What was going on? Why was everyone silent? Someone couldn't help but lean forward and ask the official in front, "Why is everyone silent?" The official turned around, about to say, "Didn't you hear me?" But finding himself unable to speak, he patted the person in front of him in alarm. He then realized he could speak again. Those who sat in this hall were not stupid. After a moment's thought, they understood seven or eight parts of the situation. It seemed that one shouldn't speak to someone who couldn't hear. The official behind was even more puzzled.
Qianluo sensed the quietness around her, glanced up discreetly, and asked the system, "Huh? What's going on? Is everyone just sitting there silently at a birthday banquet?"
"I don't know. Logically, it should be the court officials presenting congratulatory gifts, so why are they all standing there in a daze?"
The Emperor snapped out of his reverie, coughed lightly to indicate that he could begin, and pondered to himself: Is this a heartfelt expression? Whose daughter is she?
As the daughter of the Left Chancellor, Qin Qianluo was to rise and offer her birthday greetings. She bowed respectfully, her clear, youthful voice ringing out: "May His Majesty enjoy boundless longevity, live ten thousand years, and remain forever young and prosperous, bringing wealth and strength to the nation. May Her Majesty enjoy good health and eternal youth."
Upon hearing this, all the ministers turned to look. It turned out the voice belonged to the youngest daughter of the Left Prime Minister, and she was indeed quite beautiful. The Empress's eyes lit up: "The youngest daughter of the Left Prime Minister, is that it? She is very beautiful, and I take a great liking to her. Guards, bestow upon her a pair of jade bracelets."
"Qianluo thanks the Emperor and Empress."
After Qianluo and her family finished celebrating the birthday, they returned to their seats. Qianluo excitedly told the system, "001, the Empress just smiled at me! She was so beautiful!"
"Luo Bao, stop it. What woman wouldn't laugh at the idea of eternal youth?"
"The Empress just gave me a gift," Qianluo said, unconvinced.
"Alright, alright, Luo Bao is the best! Luo Bao is the most lovable!" The system sighed helplessly. It had no choice but to spoil her.
Hearing this, the Empress laughed even more heartily. The Emperor was somewhat displeased and pulled the Empress's hand. The Empress looked at the Emperor with amusement and whispered, "You're even jealous of a child?" The Emperor snorted lightly, and after the officials offered their birthday wishes, he waved his hand and summoned the palace maids to perform songs and dances.
On the other side, Qianluo was silently eating. Just as the Qin family members were about to relax, they saw Qianluo put down her chopsticks, her inner voice echoing, "001, didn't you say you had some big gossip? Why haven't you told us yet?"
"Luo Bao, eat something first, and listen while you eat."
The Qin family members were torn between wanting Luo'er to eat first and fearing this juicy gossip might bring danger to the family, so they waited in unease.
"Luo Bao, the Emperor has been poisoned!"
As the girl's soft voice rang out, the ministers in the hall nearly dropped their wine cups. The Emperor looked at Qin Qianluo in shock, then turned to the Empress, whose eyes were also filled with worry. The Qin family members were even more alarmed. Although they knew what the system said was true, the Emperor didn't know. What if he blamed Qianluo for this? Could the Emperor's poison be cured? Everyone anxiously awaited further developments. Qianluo slowly put down her chopsticks, wondering to herself, "Do they know who poisoned him? Can it be cured? Is this Emperor worth saving?"
Upon hearing the last sentence, the Emperor was furious. What did she mean by "whether or not I'm worth saving"? How could I not be worth saving? You little girl, really... The Empress squeezed the Emperor's hand, signaling him to calm down, and also signaled the ministers not to show any unusual behavior. The hall was still lively, but the noise was much quieter. Everyone was waiting for an answer. The palms of the Qin family members were sweating. Prime Minister Qin even thought about resigning and running away with his daughter. Seeing the Empress's gaze, he calmed down and waited.
"Luo Bao, this emperor is alright. Although he can't compare to the great emperor you admire, his merits outweigh his faults. Moreover, he loves his people like his own children and is a truly wise ruler who puts them first, not a foolish one. He's still worth saving."
"No one can compare to my charming ancestor."
The Emperor was still angry when he heard this. How could I not be a great emperor of all time? Tell me which great emperor you like. Who is that great emperor of all time? You little girl are really bold. Although you praised me as a wise ruler, I am still very angry.
The Qin family members: Little Ancestor, stop talking and just tell us how to save him.
The ministers: We really want to know who this little girl is talking about, the greatest emperor of all time?
The system quickly flattered Qian, "Of course! That's Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of Qin, the originator of the title 'Emperor.' He standardized cart tracks, writing, weights and measures, and currency. He built the Great Wall. He once said, 'I unified the six kingdoms, bringing the world under one rule. I built the Great Wall to protect the dragon veins of the nine provinces, safeguarding my Great Qin and protecting my nation.' I hereby swear in the name of the First Emperor that while I live, I will defend and expand the territory, sweep away the barbarians, and establish the foundation for the eternal Qin Dynasty. Even in death, my spirit will become a dragon, protecting China forever. This oath is witnessed by the sun and moon, by heaven and earth, and heard by immortals, demons, and gods!"
Upon hearing these words, the emperor's resentment suddenly vanished. Although he had never heard of this emperor, just hearing about his achievements made him realize that he was indeed inferior, and he felt no resentment at all.
The Qin family members were shocked to hear this. No wonder the people in Luo'er's previous life were so powerful and imposing.
The ministers fell silent. Although they had never heard of this emperor, he was truly domineering, making them willing to submit.
Qianluo laughed, "What else did I, Zulong, say? 001, tell me quickly, who poisoned this? Is there an antidote?"
Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze and listened carefully. The system did not disappoint them and provided an answer.
"Luo Bao, this poison was administered by a palace maid serving the Emperor. Following the original course of events, this was a slow-acting poison. The maid continued to administer it, and five years later, the Emperor succumbed to the poison. The antidote is with that maid—the one in green beside the Emperor. She's a spy from an enemy country; she entered the palace to poison the Emperor and plunge Tianxuan Kingdom into chaos."
Qianluo secretly glanced at the palace maid, and the others also glanced at her quietly. The Emperor felt slightly relieved, knowing that it was enough that he knew who had the antidote.
"How should I remind the Emperor? If I say it directly, won't he think I'm in cahoots with her? The Emperor is poisoned, and the imperial physicians haven't been able to diagnose it. Isn't it too strange that I know? How should I explain it? Or should I just tell my father? If my father asks me, what should I say?"
The Emperor and Prime Minister Qin: No, we won't ask!
"Luo Bao, it really isn't the imperial physician's fault. That poison is a secret medicine of their country. Unless it takes effect, it's not usually detectable. Don't worry about how to tell the Emperor. One of the palace maids who will be performing later is in cahoots with her. The Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom, their master, is afraid the poison won't work, so he sent someone to assassinate her through someone else. That palace maid has a soft sword at her waist, which is also poisoned. When things get chaotic later, you can secretly tell your father to keep an eye on the palace maids around the Emperor. The palace maid by the Emperor's side will give herself away."
Qianlu nodded, indicating that she understood, and then asked, "The palace maid in green doesn't know martial arts, right? Won't she hurt my father?"
"No, don't worry, Luo Bao."
The Emperor thought to himself, "The Xuanyuan Kingdom is truly ambitious and treacherous. It's good that this little girl is thoughtful; she even knew to save me."
Qin Xiang thought to himself: My daughter truly loves me and is even worried about whether I will be in danger. I am so touched!
