His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.
Chapter 36 Gu Shangshu's White Moonlight (The End)
Qin Qianluo also didn't know how to answer. The tragedy had already happened. Perhaps it was the fault of Prince Xian, or perhaps it was the fault of Minister Gu for not seeking help from the Emperor immediately, or perhaps it was the fault of the yamen runner who refused to help. But the matter had already happened and could not be changed.
Qin Qianlu sighed. "It's hard to say who was right and who was wrong in this matter. It seems like everyone was at fault. A series of coincidences came together, leading to this tragedy. The only pity is for a woman as outstanding as Lianyi. But that's how things are in this world most of the time. After all, regret is the norm. A perfect life should only exist in storybooks or TV dramas."
The ministers' eyes revealed contemplation. Is regret the norm? It seems so. Even those of them in high positions still have many things or people they've missed. Everyone has regrets to some extent. What is a perfect life like? Perhaps it's really as Princess Qingyun said in her heart: a perfect life only exists in storybooks and TV dramas. After all, the TV dramas they watched with Princess Qingyun usually had happy endings.
After a moment's thought, the Emperor nodded in agreement. Even he, the supreme ruler, had regrets; how much more so would others?
Upon hearing these thoughts, Gu Qingshi looked up blankly at Princess Qingyun. Was regret really the norm? Wasn't it because of his wrong judgment back then that he couldn't save Lianyi?
Sensing the fluctuation in Qin Qianluo's emotions, 001 chimed in, "Yes, it's a pity that such a good woman as Lianyi is being wasted. It's even more infuriating that Minister Gu looks at her this way, mistaking someone else for such a wonderful woman as Lianyi. He's wicked."
Qin Qianlu chuckled upon hearing this. 001 always had a way of making her happy, but she didn't refute 001's words. Although she could roughly figure out what Minister Gu was thinking, she thought that what 001 said made sense.
The somewhat somber atmosphere in the hall was broken by 001's comment that he was bad. The ministers, who had already witnessed how outstanding Lianyi was, nodded in agreement. Yes, that's right, Minister Gu is bad!
Su Jinyun was still somewhat silent, pondering what Qin Qianlu had just said. But when 001 said this, she almost couldn't help but burst out laughing. 001 was really quite insightful.
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan were initially feeling sorry for their Luo'er, who was so young yet understood so many principles. They wondered how hard-working and outstanding Luo'er must have been in her previous life to achieve this. However, upon hearing 001's answer, their feelings of heartache were suppressed. They wanted to laugh but dared not, and could only lower their heads, their faces flushed red.
The Emperor held back his laughter. Eunuch Liu watched as the atmosphere, which had been somewhat somber a moment ago, became much more cheerful. He admired 001. The only one still feeling sad was Minister Gu Qingshi.
Minister Gu nearly lost his footing. He was truly wicked to mistake a stranger for Lianyi. It was wrong of him. How could he face Lianyi a hundred years from now? Fortunately, Princess Qingyun was there, otherwise he would have made a real mistake. He could compromise on matters of the heart, but this person was sent by the Xuanyuan Kingdom. If that woman had succeeded, he would have been even more ashamed to face Lianyi.
Qin Qianluo also thought of the woman still at the Minister's residence. "That woman at the Minister's residence, has she sent any news out yet?"
The ministers also came to their senses and listened intently. This was the most important thing; they didn't want any news to get out. If it was useless news, that would be fine, but if it was useful news, they would be in for a lot of trouble.
The Emperor and the two prime ministers were on edge, worried that some useful information might actually get out. The things they were currently making were all important matters concerning the people and the army, such as weapons, food, and fire pits. These had not yet been promoted, and if they got out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Minister Gu was also on edge, hoping that everything was still in time. He had just returned to the capital, so there shouldn't be any rumors.
001 glanced through the documents. "Don't worry, Luo Bao. Minister Gu just returned. That woman is still scheming in the Minister's residence. We haven't gotten any useful information yet."
The officials were relieved to hear this. Fortunately, they hadn't received any useful information, otherwise all their efforts would have been in vain. The Ministry of Works staff were also relieved, no longer worried about any leaks.
The Emperor was relieved. Fortunately, the young lady from the Qin family was there; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get accurate information so quickly. He glanced at Minister Gu and thought to himself, "It seems his abilities are not a problem. I guess he realized what happened after the young lady from the Qin family reminded him. Since no damage was caused, I'll just symbolically fine him some of his salary."
After all, Minister Gu was the first to fall for it, which was pitiful, but it also served as a good warning to the other officials. It is estimated that the other officials will not be fooled by this in the future, which can be considered a merit.
Hearing this, Qin Qianluo felt relieved. "That's good. After court, I'll pass a note to my father, asking him to speak to Minister Gu as soon as possible. Delaying might cause trouble."
001 unconditionally supported Qin Qianluo and continued flipping through the documents. Suddenly, he paused. "Luo Bao, the next target of the Xuanyuan Kingdom is you. I don't know where the news came from, but the Xuanyuan Kingdom knows you like women, so they specifically selected several women to seduce you. They even specifically chose women who look similar to Prime Minister Su and General Mu, because they don't know what kind of people you like. They only know that you are close to Prime Minister Su and General Mu, especially Prime Minister Su. They arranged for several women who look very much like Prime Minister Su because the dog emperor of the Xuanyuan Kingdom thinks you like Prime Minister Su."
The ministers: What is this? Why are you targeting Princess Qingyun again? Who spread the rumor that our Princess Qingyun likes women? Even if Princess Qingyun wanted to be with a woman, she would find one in Tianxuan. Who would want a woman from Xuanyuan?
Su Jinyun: Qianluo likes me? How come I didn't know? When did this happen? Whether she's a woman or not doesn't matter. If it's true, then I should thank the Xuanyuan Kingdom. After all, I also like Qianluo. She's like a younger sister to me. Who wouldn't like a lively, cute, and smart girl?
Mu Yunxi looked up at Qin Qianluo in a daze, thinking to herself: I haven't had much contact with Princess Qingyun, so why am I involved? Why do I feel so uncomfortable using a face that looks like mine? I need to investigate and find that person.
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan suddenly looked up, their scrutinizing gazes sweeping over everyone. Who was it? Who spread the rumor? There were already three, which was troublesome enough, how come there are a few more? And who said that Luo'er likes Su Xiang? Rumors! These are rumors!
The Emperor was also bewildered. Why was the Qin family's young lady being targeted again? Who spread the word? Even if the Qin family's young lady wanted to choose a woman to spend her life with, didn't my Tianxuan Kingdom have any women? Did I need the Xuanyuan Kingdom to send someone to me?
Qin Qianluo was stunned. She was puzzled. "No, why is this related to me again? I'm just a princess without any real power. Do they really need to go to such lengths to target me? Even if I like women, how old am I? Is the Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom so perverted? I haven't even reached the age of marriage yet. There were already three people we hadn't found, and now a few more have come."
Also, why are there women who resemble Sister Su and General Mu? I do like Sister Su, but we're friends! How did it become something else in their eyes? While I may admire General Mu's abs and Sister Su's looks, I only want to touch them, nothing more. Who spread these rumors?
Su Jinyun and Mu Yunxi nodded in agreement. It was true. Although Princess Qingyun's thoughts were quite explicit, her tone was not lewd. She was simply expressing her appreciation. How did it change when it came to the Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom?
The ministers nodded in agreement. Although Princess Qingyun was easily captivated by beautiful women, she truly had no lustful intentions and spoke with an appreciative tone. Some of the female officials also agreed. Although Princess Qingyun's eyes shone when she saw them, her gaze was clear, not at all like what the Emperor of Xuanyuan thought.
Qin Xiang and Qin Jiyuan covered their faces. Oh no, what about Luo'er's reputation? How could they be so blatant? They should have been more subtle.
001 flipped through the documents and said, "It's strange, Luo Bao. I can't find out who spread the news, which means it wasn't spread by Tianxuan. Otherwise, there's no reason why I wouldn't be able to find it. Besides, when Xuanyuan Kingdom found out about this, those three spies shouldn't have come to Tianxuan yet."
As for the women who resemble Prime Minister Su and General Mu, they were already being trained. The emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom, knowing the appearances of female officials, would generally select a few who resembled them and train them, so that they could be used someday.
Qin Qianlu frowned and pondered, "So, there are people from Xuanyuan Kingdom in the court, or in the home of some official, and it is very likely that they are people in the harem. Since we can't find out, let's try our luck. I often attend some banquets these days, and you can check if anyone has any problems then."
As for the harem, perhaps we can discuss that after we've investigated the residences of all the officials. My intuition tells me the problem lies in their residences, as well as those women who resemble female officials from our dynasty. 001, you should pay close attention to those entering the Tianxuan territory recently.
001 agreed, "Okay, Luo Bao, I'll pay close attention. However, the source of the news shouldn't be someone from the court. I just scanned again, and everyone in the court is from Tianxuan. So the problem is either in the harem or in the private quarters of the officials."
The officials were shocked and exchanged glances, all praying that it wasn't them, otherwise who knows how many secrets would be leaked. It seemed that they would have to ask their wives to find an excuse to hold a banquet and invite Princess Qingyun to visit their residence, so that they could feel at ease.
All the female officials: Waaah, Princess Qingyun is so kind! She even asked 001 to help keep an eye out for people entering Tianxuan territory. We must also work hard, observe more unfamiliar faces, and catch the Xuanyuan Kingdom's spies as soon as possible.
The Emperor was also somewhat alarmed. Could there be spies in his harem? After court, he had to quickly inform his Empress and ask her to summon the young maid from the Qin family to the palace. Although the young maid said it might not be a problem in the harem, having her take a look would put his mind at ease.
Prime Minister Qin and Qin Jiyuan were completely unperturbed, confident that there was nothing wrong with their own residence; otherwise, Luo'er would have discovered it long ago, and they wouldn't have had to wait until now.
Qin Qianlu nodded. "That Xuanyuan Kingdom really knows how to cause trouble. It's so annoying! Suddenly I have to be busy, and I even have to attend a banquet. I don't even have a chance to slack off anymore. One day, I must persuade the Emperor to destroy the Xuanyuan Kingdom so they won't cause trouble every day!"
001 also felt sorry for her Luo Bao, and said in a soft, childlike voice, "Luo Bao, don't be angry. We'll definitely have a chance to destroy Xuan Yuan."
The ministers nodded in agreement. They were certain there would be an opportunity, and they would work hard to ensure that Princess Qingyun's efforts would not be in vain.
Prime Minister Qin Jiyuan felt sorry for his Luo'er. Originally, these were not things that Luo'er should have to worry about. It was because they were useless that they made Luo'er work so hard. Luo'er is still young, but she has to share the burden of the country.
The Emperor was also somewhat embarrassed. It was just that the Xuanyuan Kingdom was too restless. The sooner they were captured, the sooner they could teach the people things that would benefit them. He could only ask the young girl from the Qin family to work hard.
