The emperor also heard the singing and paused in his discussion with his ministers, listening intently to the young girl from the Qin family sing. The ministers present also listened quietly.

Qin Qianlu hummed the lyrics, her expression slightly melancholy: "Only by closing my eyes can I dream endlessly... Vows faded, love's mist merely passed by, let me walk gracefully through the wind and rain..."

As the last line of the lyrics fell, Qin Qianluo's still somewhat childish voice became tinged with sobs, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Seeing Qin Qianluo's expression, 001 panicked a little, quickly turned off the music, and cautiously asked, "Luo Bao, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

The people listening to the song fell silent. The sobbing in the song made their hearts clench. Lin Ruoqing got up in a panic, wanting to go to Qin Qianluo's tent to check on her, but Qin Xiang stopped her, saying that they should give Luo'er time to process her emotions.

Su Jinyun also frowned, feeling somewhat worried. However, she knew she couldn't go over. Although she didn't know why Qianluo was so heartbroken and dejected, if she went over, the matter of Xinsheng would probably be exposed. Qianluo would then be much more hesitant and timid in her future actions, and would never be as free as she was now.

Qin Qianlu calmed herself down. "Although this song tells the story of a woman who marries into a foreign land and faces the injustice of fate, actively integrating into an unfamiliar environment, 001, don't you think it also applies to me now? I came to ancient times alone, and I can never go back."

001 didn't quite understand these complex emotions. It could only sense that Luo Bao was currently feeling down, like a wronged child. "Does Luo Bao want to go back to the modern world? Did someone here make Luo Bao suffer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt worried. Had someone wronged Princess Qingyun, and was that why Princess Qingyun wanted to return to the place where she used to live?

Lin Ruoqing's face was wet with tears. She anxiously held Qin Xiang's hand, waiting for Luo'er's answer with worry. She was also thinking to herself whether she had not taken good care of Luo'er, which was why Luo'er missed the things from her previous life so much.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor became restless. He was worried that 001 could really take the Qin family girl away, and he was even more worried that his country would not be able to keep her. After all, judging from the Qin family girl's inner thoughts, his country was far inferior to the country she lived in in her previous life, but he was already working hard to build the country, and he did not want the Qin family girl to disappear.

The ministers were also somewhat flustered. The benefits brought by Princess Qingyun were obvious to all, and they were all beneficiaries. However, Princess Qingyun did not seem to like her current life. What should they do if Princess Qingyun really disappeared?

Amidst everyone's worry, the inner voice echoed again: "No, it's fine here. My father, mother, brothers, and sisters all love me dearly. My colleagues at court are also very kind, and the Emperor is a benevolent and wise ruler. Sister Su even saved my life today. I haven't been wronged. I just suddenly heard this song and felt a little emotional."

001 felt relieved, as long as she hadn't been wronged. "Luo Bao, although I don't quite understand this feeling, don't be sad. The people of Tianxuan treat Luo Bao very well. Not to mention your aunt and uncle, even today, in such a dangerous situation with Prime Minister Su, she rushed out to shield Luo Bao from the dagger. She truly considers Luo Bao a friend."

Qin Qianlu smiled upon hearing this, as if she had suddenly understood something. "Hmm, I'm not very sad. 001, I seem to be too fixated on my past life. Actually, I've never been able to integrate here. They've all been so kind to me. It's just that I've been dwelling on everything from my past life, unwilling to get too close to everyone. That's really not right."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved, as long as they weren't wronged and wanted to leave. However, upon hearing that Prime Minister Su and Princess Qingyun had encountered danger that day, and that Prime Minister Su was injured, everyone felt a renewed sense of worry. As for Princess Qingyun's feelings about not being integrated, no one thought so.

Lin Ruoqing, Qin Xiang, and Qin Jiyuan, who had rushed over, breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Luo'er didn't intend to leave. However, upon hearing that Su Xiang had shielded Luo'er from the knife, their hearts tightened again.

The group exchanged glances and hurried toward Prime Minister Su's tent. It was good that Luo'er didn't dislike them anymore. As for her reluctance to get close, the group thought back on their usual interactions and realized they hadn't felt that way before.

The Emperor and his ministers were relieved and were about to return to their seats when they heard that Prime Minister Su had shielded Princess Qingyun from a knife. They stood up again and went with the Emperor to Prime Minister Su's tent to find out what had happened.

After listening, 001 didn't quite agree. "Luo Bao actually felt a sense of belonging to this country a long time ago, but she just didn't realize it. Luo Bao is gentle and polite to everyone; she doesn't seem out of place at all."

Qin Qianlu shook her head. She knew herself well that she had never felt much belonging to Tianxuan, even though her parents and the people around her were very good to her.

But most of the time, he only saw himself as an observer, and what he took out was basically to improve his own life. Protecting the people and soldiers was just his instinct.

As for the rest of the time, she was comparing things to the past, subconsciously observing from a detached perspective, but she didn't show it.

Today's events made her suddenly realize some things. She was loved and protected by others here, and she shouldn't feel that way. She should completely let go of her past life and truly consider herself a person of the Tianxuan Kingdom.

After thinking it through, Qin Qianlu smiled slightly and said, "It's not enough. I should love this place as much as I love China. I have you and such convenient conditions, so why not do something to develop Tianxuan?"

After all, this place is truly wonderful. There's no male chauvinism, the emperor respects women, my parents and siblings dote on me, and besides, I'm a princess here; I can't just collect a salary without doing any work.

Hearing Qin Qianluo's cheerful tone, 001 was somewhat happy. "Actually, Luo Bao has already done a lot, it's just that Luo Bao herself didn't realize it. But Luo Bao has made a decision, so let's do it. I'm here for you. What does Luo Bao want to do first?"

The Qin family members and the emperor's officials, who had already arrived at Prime Minister Su's tent, were all genuinely happy to hear Qin Qianluo's words, and didn't have time to ask any questions.

The Emperor pondered the two characters "Zhonghua" (中华) carefully, feeling a surge of emotion. These two characters were even more imposing than "Tianxuan" (天玄). Was this the name of the modern country where the little girl from the Qin family lived in her previous life? Then he would work hard to develop Tianxuan Kingdom. Even if it couldn't compare to Zhonghua, it would become the second.

Su Jinyun smiled as well. Qianluo truly regarded this place as her own country. That's great. It seems that her injury was worth it. Not only did she enter that magical space, but Qianluo also completely regarded this place as her home.

The members of the Qin family exchanged glances, their unease completely vanishing. Lin Ruoqing held Su Jinyun's hand, feeling grateful but also wanting to know what had happened.

Su Jinyun didn't dawdle. While listening to Qin Qianluo's thoughts, she told everyone about her experiences that day. When she learned that the imperial physician had injured Su Xiang's shoulder, he stepped forward to examine him and was surprised by the skillful treatment.

It seems that Princess Qingyun's medical skills are truly excellent. We should go and learn more from Princess Qingyun. If Qin Qianluo knew what the imperial physicians were thinking, she would definitely say no. Traditional Chinese medicine is the best. She only knows some first aid and basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. She should be the one to ask the imperial physicians for advice.

When the others learned that the three spies had been captured and were now following Princess Qingyun, they breathed a sigh of relief. After so long without any news, they were finally relieved to hear such good news.

Hearing that Prime Minister Su had entered Princess Qingyun's magical space, they were filled with envy, especially the members of the Qin family. They were grateful to Prime Minister Su for saving Luo'er, but also felt a pang of sadness because they had never been inside Luo'er's space. The two feelings were mixed, but gratitude prevailed.

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Since the young lady of the Qin family wanted to keep those three people, he would grant her wish, as long as it wouldn't harm her. He then began to envy Prime Minister Su, as he also wanted to see that magical space.

Qin Qianlu pondered, "Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are the most basic necessities, but the current situation is a four-way power struggle, especially with the Xuanyuan Kingdom, whose methods are extremely underhanded. I think we should deal with this country first, which would also help rescue the people Ling Xue and the others are worried about."

001, recalling the information he had obtained from Ling Xue and the other two, felt somewhat displeased. "Alright, let's deal with Xuanyuan Kingdom first. I'll listen to Luo Bao."

Qin Qianluo stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I think I should take the three of them to the Xuanyuan Kingdom to learn about the situation within its borders. I'm good at infiltrating, and there's no need to enter the Xuanyuan royal family's inner circle now. Investigating a country wouldn't be too dangerous. If possible, I think I can rescue those women within ten days, which would put Ling Xue and the other two at ease."

001, however, was worried: "Luo Bao, this is a bit dangerous. I can't activate the protection mechanism yet. If anything unexpected happens, I won't be able to protect you."

Qin Qianlu shook her head and said, "It's alright, I'll disguise myself. I'll go into my spatial dimension later and plan things out carefully with Ling Xue and the others. There will be dangers, but if I can get anything useful, like a defense map, then once Xuan Kingdom has a good autumn harvest, we can send troops directly without wasting any more time. Winter warfare will be very tough."

001 fell silent. It knew that Luo Bao had made up its mind, and no matter how much it tried to persuade her, it would be impossible to change her mind.

Meanwhile, the people inside Prime Minister Su's tent became anxious. Princess Qingyun couldn't go; she was putting herself in danger. If anything happened to her, their losses would be too great. Anyone could go, but not Princess Qingyun.

Lin Ruoqing also nervously held Su Jinyun's hand. The two looked at each other, their eyes flashing with worry. If she insisted on going, how could they persuade her?

Prime Minister Qin was also on edge. He knew that Luo'er was right. Luo'er was experienced and the most suitable person for the job. However, he was not only the Left Prime Minister of Tianxuan, but also Luo'er's father. He could not disregard Luo'er's safety.

The Emperor, who was standing to the side, was also deep in thought. It would indeed be suitable for the young lady from the Qin family to go. They would be able to grasp the internal information of Xuanyuan more quickly. Although there were shadow guards in Xuanyuan, they could not find out much. However, the young lady from the Qin family had 001, which was a great convenience.

But what exactly is the protection mechanism that 001 mentioned? If 001 could be upgraded, wouldn't it be safer for the Qin family's little girl to go? Tianxuan really can't do without the Qin family's little girl.

The generals were somewhat moved. Princess Qingyun was thinking of them and the many soldiers. They felt a mix of bitterness and sweetness. This was the first time someone had considered their hardships and wanted them to be able to return to the capital before winter, choosing to risk their lives for them.
