A palace maid walked to the front of the hall, accompanied by melodious music and lively dancing. Qin Qianluo, watching the dancing maid, her eyes sparkling, instantly forgot about the assassination attempt and excitedly told the system...

"001, look, look! What a beautiful dance! I always thought the description of dance movements as scattering and gathering with the wind, and singing as melodious and ethereal as a chime, was an exaggeration. But seeing these young ladies dance and hearing their soft singing today, I realize it's a true description. Indeed, a beautiful woman's dance is like a lotus swirling, something the world has never seen before."

The "Treasure Drop" system's cute, slightly helpless voice said, "Watch out for that palace maid in pink; there's also an assassin. Wait until it's safe before proceeding."

Everyone: This little girl is quite talented, but she doesn't know how to distinguish between different occasions. At such a dangerous moment, she still has the mood to enjoy singing and dancing.

The Qin family: How could we not know that our youngest daughter/youngest sister has such talent?

"This assassination attempt was destined to fail, because, as you just said, in the predetermined course you saw, the Emperor died of poisoning."

Everyone was speechless. Then they suddenly realized that something seemed to make sense, but something was wrong, and they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

"Hmm...that seems to make sense. Luo Bao, be careful, she's drawn her sword."

As the system exclaimed in alarm, the eldest brother, Qin Jiyuan, shielded his two younger sisters in his arms. Guards quickly stepped in front of the Emperor and court officials, engaging the assassins in combat. Qin Qianluo tugged at Prime Minister Qin's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Father, keep an eye on the people around the Emperor. It's too chaotic right now; don't let other assassins sneak past."

Prime Minister Qin nodded, intently watching the palace maid in green. Sure enough, a moment later, he saw the maid pull out a dagger from behind her back, preparing to stab the Emperor. Prime Minister Qin flicked his wrist, throwing a teacup lid that struck the maid's wrist, causing the dagger to fall to the ground. By this time, the assassin had been subdued, and the hall was quiet again. After the guards examined the weapon, they discovered that the assassin's soft sword was indeed coated with a potent poison. This matched everything that Qin Qianluo had said in her inner voice, proving that the "001" in Qin Qianluo's inner voice was telling the truth. Moreover, judging from the assassins' appearance, they couldn't hear her inner voice; otherwise, they would have run away long ago instead of foolishly rushing to assassinate her. This meant that only people of their own country could hear the girl's inner voice... This discovery pleased the Emperor greatly. Perhaps he could bring the girl to court, making it easier to eliminate corrupt officials.

Qin Qianluo was unaware of the Emperor's thoughts. If she had known, she would have accused him of employing child labor and exploiting human resources. At this moment, she tugged at her father again and whispered, "Father, since even the soft sword is poisoned, and another palace maid has been by the Emperor's side for so long, could she have also poisoned him? Should we have the guards interrogate that palace maid, just in case?"

Prime Minister Qin nodded approvingly: "Luo'er is truly intelligent. Father will go and report to the Emperor right away."

Watching her father stride into the hall and express his suspicions, the Emperor indeed investigated and, upon hearing the guards' report that poison had indeed been used, and having the antidote brought for the imperial physician to examine, everything was settled. The singing and dancing continued, and Qin Qianluo felt relieved. She obediently sat in her seat, secretly glancing at the ministers around her. When she saw a very beautiful woman in a red robe, her eyes lit up.

'001, who is that woman in the red official robe?'

Wearing a red official robe and chatting with others, the Right Chancellor Su Jinyun looked on with a face full of question marks. "Is this my turn?"

"Luo Bao, that's the Right Chancellor I was talking about. Her name is Su Jinyun. She became Chancellor at the age of twenty-three, the same rank as your father."

Wow, she's so beautiful and amazing!

Su Jinyun's cheeks flushed slightly. She used the excuse of drinking to cover her face, thinking to herself: This little girl has such a sweet tongue.

Qin Xiang was not happy at this moment. How could he be so amazing? He was also amazing. Why didn't Luo'er praise her father? Lin Ruoqing looked at her husband with amusement, but she was also a little jealous. Luo'er had never praised her like this before.

"Indeed remarkable. Prime Minister Su is probably a female version of Xiao He—a master strategist, a man of great righteousness, and devoted to the country and its people."

"A female version of Xiao He? That amazing? But that's Xiao He! He's the one who stabilized the country, comforted the people, provided supplies, and ensured uninterrupted food supplies! Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"Naturally, she was a Right Chancellor capable of governing the country with her pen; compared to Xiao He, she was slightly inferior, but not by much."

Qianluo's eyes sparkled, and Su Jinyun's face grew even redder. "Am I really that outstanding? It seems I need to work even harder, striving to truly be as capable as Xiao He, as Miss Qin described." Su Jinyun silently encouraged herself, while Prime Minister Qin couldn't hide his jealousy. The Emperor and Empress secretly watched the spectacle with smirks, pretending to chat so that Qin Qianluo wouldn't notice.

"Wow~ Where's my dad?"

"The Left Chancellor is also very capable. It must be said that the Emperor is somewhat lucky; your father is comparable to Zhuge Liang."

"What? 』

The shocked voices rang out, and everyone subconsciously lowered their voices and listened intently. Prime Minister Qin's face flushed, and he was secretly pleased. "I am indeed very good. I just don't know who Zhuge Kongming is."

"001, you're not kidding me? Even though he's my dad, don't exaggerate. Zhuge Liang, you know, with his imposing presence and mighty army, commanding thousands of troops and suppressing mountains and rivers. His brilliance is known throughout the land, the Zhuge Liang who divided the country into three parts and secured the realm? The Zhuge Liang who single-handedly raised the IQ of the surname Zhuge?"

"Luo Bao, Uncle Qin is very capable. Although he's not quite there yet, he's a man of both literary and martial talents."

"Almost? Yes, you've mentioned two famous prime ministers I know. Even though they were just a little short, I still admire them and envy the Emperor. Even if the Emperor is an incompetent ruler, with my father and Prime Minister Su around, there's nothing to worry about."

The faces of Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Su were flushed, while the Emperor's face was ashen. The stark contrast made the other officials feel a pang of bitterness.

The system continued to praise Qin Qianluo, saying, "Luo Bao is right."

"Of course," Qin Qianluo said haughtily, her head held high, her eyes secretly sweeping around again. "That young lady in military uniform with her hair tied up, is she the general you were talking about?"

"Yes, General Mu Yunxi, the commander of the Western Garrison, is skilled with a silver spear. Don't let her age of seventeen fool you; her martial prowess is truly exceptional, comparable to that of the renowned general Qin Liangyu. She has never suffered a defeat, and she earned her general's position through her own hard work."

"Having mastered the Eight Trigrams Formation of Western Sichuan, she holds the military tally hidden in her sleeves. Women have always willingly accepted such roles; why must a general be a man? She's both handsome and beautiful, a seventeen-year-old general—she must have muscles and abs; I want to touch her."

Mu Yunxi blushed, a rare occurrence. This second young lady of the Qin family certainly had a sweet tongue, but… but her words were a bit too blunt. Qin Qianyu and Lin Ruoqing were jealous and angry. How could this girl say such things? Did she not want to get married? The two exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly. No, wait, she hadn't said anything. The ministers felt even more bitter, especially the military officers.

"Luo Bao, you're being infatuated again. Wipe your drool." The system's cute voice was tinged with helplessness, even though Luo Bao was just as amazing in her past life.

Upon hearing this, Qin Qianlu subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it. Coming back to her senses, she angrily said, "001, you've got some nerve, daring to scare me!" Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled. This girl is a bit silly.

"No way, Luo Bao, did you see that old man with graying temples but a very imposing presence?" 001 cleverly diverted Luo Bao's attention, quickly urging her to look at the next person.

Qin Qianluo looked around, glanced at something, and then looked away. "I saw it. What's wrong?"

"That's General Li Yuan, the Defender of the Nation. He comes from a family of generals, just like your mother's aunt Lin's family. They're full of military talents. General Li is sixty-three this year, but he's still healthy and full of energy."

"That's the backbone of the nation, just like General Wang Jian under the First Emperor. As long as he sits there looking energetic, everyone feels inexplicably at ease."

"It's fair to say that his sons and grandsons are all currently on the battlefield, and the whole family is utterly loyal. One has to admire the emperor's good fortune once again."

When General Li Yuan heard that the young girl from the Qin family had compared him to a general under an emperor, he was overjoyed. He took a sip of wine and was very pleased with himself.

Qin Qianluo felt only respect and reverence for this old general. In her previous life, she was also a soldier, retiring from the special forces and joining the anti-drug squad, dedicating her life to her ideals. Just as she was about to secretly observe the next subject, she heard the system's exclamation.

"Luo Bao, General Li's grandson has gone undercover in the enemy army, and he's about to..." The system suddenly remembered that Luo Bao had died during an undercover mission. Oh no, this is a disaster! It looked at Luo Bao and, sure enough, saw that Luo Bao's face had turned pale. "Luo Bao..."

Qin Qianlu forced a smile, her heart filled with worry that something might have happened to General Li's grandson. "I'm fine, 001, don't worry. How is General Li's grandson? Is he in danger?"

The system paused for a moment, then said, "We're about to be discovered."

Everyone panicked upon hearing this. General Li gripped his wine cup tightly, his fingertips turning white, and his breathing slowed considerably. The Emperor and Empress were also extremely nervous, their hands clasped tightly together.

"But the predetermined path has unfolded without serious harm this time. He successfully returned to his own camp, and his injuries are not severe. He will recover in a few days, Luo Bao, don't worry."

Qin Qianluo and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could fully relax, they heard Qin Qianluo's muffled voice ask the system...

'001, after I died in my past life, was my mission truly completed? Don't lie to me.'

Everyone gasped in astonishment once more. A past life? What did that mean? Was this girl reincarnated with her memories intact? The hearts of everyone in the Qin family tightened, and they all glanced at Luo'er with worry, then quickly lowered their heads to eat, pretending to chat, afraid that Luo'er would notice. The Emperor and Empress were also incredibly shocked, awaiting 001's answer.

"Luo Bao..." 001 felt sorry for her. 001 didn't want to say it, but looking into Luo Bao's eyes, it had to say that there were some things that Luo Bao had the right to know.
