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

The following evening, as the Qin family was having dinner, a servant entered and reported, "Master and Madam, Eunuch Liu from the palace has come to deliver an imperial decree."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Qin immediately led his family out to receive the imperial decree. He strode to the gate, bowed to Eunuch Liu, who glanced at Qin Qianluo and said with a smile, "Second Miss Qin Qianluo, prepare to receive the imperial decree."

Qin Qianlu looked bewildered. Pushed by her sister, she stepped forward and knelt with her family. Eunuch Liu opened the imperial edict and proclaimed loudly: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"

Miss Qin Qianluo, the second daughter of Prime Minister Qin, is virtuous and talented, gentle, kind, frugal, beautiful, and intelligent. She has won my heart. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon her the title of Eighth-Rank Imperial Attendant and grant her permission to attend court with her father.

"I admire this"

After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Liu smiled and placed it in Qin Qianluo's hands, saying, "Congratulations, young Master Qin!"

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty." Although the Qin family members were confused, they could only accept the imperial decree and express their gratitude. Qin Qianlu thanked the emperor in a daze, accepted the imperial decree in a daze, kowtowed and stood up.

Prime Minister Qin chuckled and handed Eunuch Liu a money pouch, inquiring about the Emperor's intentions before seeing Eunuch Liu out. Lin Ruoqing looked at her youngest daughter's dazed expression, feeling somewhat helpless. Was the Emperor going to keep an eye on his youngest daughter or exploit her feelings? Qin Qianyu and Qin Jiyuan exchanged a glance, wondering if their sister's appointment as an official would pose a danger. Qin Qianluo herself was already in a state of collapse, frantically chanting in her mind, "No, I'm only eleven years old! Eleven years old! How can an eleven-year-old start working? This is child labor! I'm not even grown up yet and I have to work? This is outrageous!"

Upon hearing this, the Qin family members agreed, realizing it was indeed a bit early; Luo'er was still too young.

"Luo Bao, Gan Luo was made prime minister at twelve, Liu Zilan was made king at five and prime minister at eight, Huo Qubing was made marquis at seventeen. You're not the first, you're not alone. Does that make you happier?"

Qin Xiang and the others who rushed back, are they all this amazing? So young and already so talented?

"But I'm only eleven years old, I don't want to go to work."

"I'll tell you gossip every day so you won't be bored at work, okay?"

"No, I don't want to go to work."

"Good girl, Luo Bao, an imperial edict can't be taken back."

Qin Qianluo knew, but she was unhappy. She walked silently back to the courtyard with her parents. The Qin family members listened to 001 coaxing Luo'er, feeling both amused and warm. It was so good that Luo'er had so many people protecting, pampering, and coaxing her. As soon as they sat down, Qin Qianluo looked pitifully at Prime Minister Qin and said, "Father, I don't want to go to court. I'm only eleven years old. If I don't sleep well, I won't grow tall!"

Prime Minister Qin was also distressed, but the imperial decree could not be disobeyed, so he could only comfort Luo'er: "Luo'er, be good, your father will take you with him. The emperor's decree has been issued, and we cannot disobey it."

Qin Qianlu nodded helplessly, very angry. But in ancient times, the emperor's orders were paramount, and she couldn't implicate her family. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When it was time to sleep, she was too angry to fall asleep. It was 001 who told her a bedtime story to lull her to sleep.

Before dawn the next day, Qin Qianluo was taken to court by Prime Minister Qin. She was half asleep in the carriage. When they finally arrived at the palace, she was still asleep when they got off the carriage. Prime Minister Qin carried Qin Qianluo into the hall. The surrounding ministers were shocked. Why had he brought her here? What was he doing? After inquiring, they learned that Qin Qianluo had been appointed as an eighth-rank Imperial Diarist, which was supposed to be a recorder. However, there were already dedicated recorders, so she was not needed at the moment. To put it bluntly, wasn't she here to dig up their secrets? Many officials with guilty consciences trembled with fear, while Right Chancellor Su Jinyun and General Mu Yunxi were delighted. Seeing the little girl looking half-asleep, they were pleased. Everyone took their places, and Chancellor Qin also woke Qin Qianluo, made her stand properly, and hurriedly went to his seat. With a shout of "The Emperor has arrived!" everyone knelt and rose, and the court session officially began. Emperor Ning looked at the drowsy Qin Qianluo, amused. Listening to his subordinates' reports that the Ministry of Revenue was again complaining of poverty, and that the border regions were running out of grain, the ministers were arguing noisily, successfully waking Qin Qianluo completely. Rubbing her eyes, she asked, "001, what are they arguing about?"

The hall was quiet for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, though the sound was much softer, and everyone was listening intently.

"Luo Bao's awake. They're arguing about the supply of provisions to the frontier. The Ministry of Revenue doesn't have enough money to supply too much grain, and there's also flooding in Jiangnan that needs disaster relief and river repairs."

"What's there to argue about? Shouldn't the army's food and disaster relief be paid for? How can this Minister of Revenue be so clueless?"

"Luo Bao, you've misunderstood. The Ministry of Revenue really is broke, and your emperor is genuinely poor too."

"So poor? Then just confiscate the property of a few corrupt officials and we'll have money. Making a fuss won't solve anything. 001, investigate and see who's embezzled the most. Tell me, and when I get home I'll write a note and secretly slip it to my dad, who'll then give it to the Emperor. If they confiscate our property, we'll have money."

Upon hearing this, the honest official was delighted, while the corrupt official wished he could sew Qin Qianluo's mouth shut. The Emperor and Prime Minister Qin, on the other hand, laughed heartily. The Emperor thought to himself, "Sure enough, it was the right decision to bring this girl to the court. Look, now we have money."

"Luo Bao, wait a minute. Let me take a look. There are quite a few wealthy people, and quite a few corrupt officials too. It seems that apart from your emperor and the Ministry of Revenue, everyone is quite rich."

The Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he listened intently. The Emperor was also waiting, but the corrupt officials were almost kneeling down.

Who are they? How much did they embezzle?

"Luo Bao, look! That Grand Tutor Yu embezzled over a million taels of silver, and his gold and silver jewels filled several warehouses. And that's not all! That Vice Minister of War is even more remarkable; he embezzled nearly ten million taels of silver. He used his gold and silver jewels to throw around and play with people. He owns so many houses and farmlands that you can't even count them all. There's even gold buried under his property! Incredible! He even owns a gold mine!"

The Vice Minister of War and Grand Tutor Yu trembled. It was all over. The Vice Minister of War, in particular, glared at Qin Qianluo with eyes that seemed to spit fire. Several military officers silently blocked Qin Qianluo. The Emperor looked at the two of them and sneered. Prime Minister Qin glared at the Vice Minister of War.

"I thought Grand Tutor Yu's corruption was bad enough, but this Vice Minister of War has embezzled even more. He's embezzled far more than even Heshen, the greatest corrupt official of all time."

"Not only that, this Vice Minister of War also has a private army and is preparing to rebel. He himself is quite skilled in combat, but he's good at disguising himself, so no one knows how good he is. If the emperor confiscates their property, they'll have money and even a gold mine."

"He wants to rebel? That's quite an ambition. When we get back, tell me the location of the gold mine and all his other properties. I'll write it down for my father, and he'll give it to the Emperor."

"Good treasure"

When everyone heard that the Vice Minister of War was quite skilled in martial arts, several generals surrounded him. A young general stepped in and immobilized the Vice Minister to prevent him from suddenly attacking others. The Vice Minister was furious. Damn Qin Qianluo, how did she know everything? She deserves to be killed.

The Emperor was also shocked that there were private soldiers. Fortunately, there was the Qin family girl. He exchanged a glance with Qin and felt relieved. Thank goodness, thank goodness we knew beforehand.

After the court session, Qin Qianluo hurriedly led Prime Minister Qin back to the mansion, unaware that the crowd who should have left with them were watching the two with cold smiles. The Minister of Revenue, in particular, was overjoyed. Now that the national treasury was full, he felt more confident. He could provide grain and disaster relief without having to be stingy. The Emperor ordered the two to be thrown into the imperial prison, awaiting a note from the Qin family girl, so that their property could be confiscated and they could be executed.

As soon as Qin Qianluo returned to her courtyard, she locked herself in her study and had 001 tell her about the gold mine, where they hid their money, and the location of their private soldiers. She made sure to write everything down. When the guards and servants weren't paying attention, she tied a stone to the paper and threw it into Prime Minister Qin's study. Only after watching her father pick up the note did she feel relieved and return to her courtyard to read a book.

Prime Minister Qin took the note, glanced at it, and was shocked. There was far too much. He dared not delay and hurriedly went to the palace, giving the note to the Emperor who had been waiting for a long time. After reading it, the Emperor's face turned ashen, and he ordered the confiscation of the property. He sent people to seize the gold mine and the private army. In order to prevent Qin Qianluo from noticing anything, he specially rewarded Prime Minister Qin with a lot of things, asking him to find an opportunity to give them to Qin Qianluo. He could not give them directly, lest he give himself away.

Qin Qianluo finished reading her book, stretched, and prepared to take a nap when she suddenly heard 001 say, "Luo Bao, I'm about to level up. It'll take about twelve hours. Take good care of yourself."

Qin Qianlu nodded, then asked with some confusion, "How did you level up so quickly?"

"I don't know. Maybe we passed a note to Uncle Qin, and he gave it to the Emperor, exposing those two corrupt officials."

Qin Qianluo nodded thoughtfully. 'The Emperor is quite fast. So that's how you level up?'

"That's possible, Luo Bao. After I level up, let's catch more corrupt officials, then I'll have even more functions."

Qin Qianluo nodded and told 001 to upgrade. She then lay down on the soft couch and fell asleep. In the evening, her maid woke her up. She groggily ate dinner and returned to her courtyard. She was no longer sleepy and was a little bored. Remembering that she had learned some simple ways to make cold weapons in her previous life, she asked a servant to find some wood. She tinkered with a decent crossbow in her room, whittled a few wooden arrows, tested the accuracy, and was quite satisfied. Now that the materials were limited, she couldn't expect too much. It was just something to pass the time and practice her skills.

Just then, a sound came from outside the courtyard. It sounded like assassins had entered and were fighting with the guards. Qin Qianluo was startled and went to the door to take a look. There were about a dozen men in black, who looked to be highly skilled in martial arts. Fortunately, she had the help of the guards. Qin Qianluo quickly picked up her crossbow, aimed at one of the men in black, and fired a wooden arrow. The man in black fell to the ground. Qin Qianluo came out of the house and aimed at the second man in black. When Qin Xiang saw Qianluo come out, he was worried and quickly knocked away the person in front of him. He flew to Qin Qianluo's side to protect her. Seeing that she was holding a strange weapon, he knew that now was not the time to ask questions and focused on protecting her. Qin Qianluo didn't have many wooden arrows left. Seeing that the men in black were at a disadvantage, she put away her crossbow. A moment later, all the men in black fell down. She looked at her father.

"Father, what's going on? Are they here to kill me?"

Qin Xiang's expression wasn't good. Hearing his daughter's question, he patted her head and comforted her with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Luo'er. Dad's here. We'll have someone investigate later."

Qin Qianluo nodded upon hearing this, and Qin Xiang then asked, "What weapon is Luo'er holding? How can it fire arrows continuously?"

Qin Qianluo glanced at the crossbow in her hand and said with a smile, "This is also a crossbow, but I modified it so it can fire ten arrows in succession. If you like it, Father, take it first. I'll make another one tomorrow; it's not difficult."

As she spoke, Qin Qianluo handed the crossbow to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang accepted it without any formality with his daughter. He thought that Luo'er must have learned how to make weapons in her previous life. He was both happy and heartbroken. He wondered what Luo'er had done in her previous life, and how hard it must have been for her to learn how to make weapons. Yet he was also very proud. His daughter was indeed capable. He smiled and said, "Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Luo'er."

Qin Qianlu waved her hand, watched as Prime Minister Qin put away the crossbow, and instructed the guards to tidy up the courtyard. She then turned and went back to her room to rest.
