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

Upon leaving the palace, Pei Yanci immediately decided to head to the Regent's Palace.

He was extremely anxious and worried, and desperately wanted to discuss countermeasures with Qin Qianluo as soon as possible to find a way to resolve the current predicament.

However, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped as if struck by an invisible force.

He slightly raised his head and looked up at the sky, which was a clear, deep blue, yet seemed to conceal endless gloom.

He sighed softly, a sigh filled with helplessness, heaviness, and worry, as if he were exhaling all the pent-up frustrations in his heart with that breath.

Finally, he slowly turned around, dragging his slightly tired body, which seemed to be bent by a heavy burden, and walked step by step toward his mansion.

He knew very well that the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager had decided to go, and Su Jinyun would go with them.

If I were to insist on embarking on this journey, certain unscrupulous individuals in the court who covet power would surely seize the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Like hungry wolves smelling blood, they are eager to disrupt the court order and seek personal gain. The situation is likely to get out of control, descend into chaos, and become difficult to suppress.

Over the years, the court has appeared calm and peaceful on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging and crises are lurking everywhere.

Corrupt officials are like rats hiding in dark corners, secretly carrying out their shady dealings.

Although it was not publicized, it did exist, like a malignant tumor eroding the foundation of the court.

There are many who crave power; they are like hungry wolves, always coveting higher positions, and will stop at nothing to satisfy their own desires.

However, with Qin Qianluo presiding over the court, she was like a towering mountain, steadily suppressing the court.

This will deter those with ulterior motives from taking any action, even if they are tempted to do so.

If Qin Qianluo can return safely this time, the court will maintain its current stable situation.

Those with ill intentions will naturally not dare to show their faces easily, and everything will be peaceful.

But if something were to happen to her and she were unable to return, the court would urgently need officials who could suppress those people.

After all, for the emperor alone to try to control the entire court is like trying to shoulder an immense burden by himself—an extremely difficult and almost impossible task.

As Pei Yanci thought of this, a chilling glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, like an icicle in the cold night, exuding a terrifying ferocity and determination.

He was secretly furious. Those people had been living too comfortably and had become so pampered that they dared to act so recklessly.

Greedily coveting more power, they completely disregarded the safety of the country and the suffering of the people.

When the retired emperor ascended the throne, he vigorously reformed the court, ruthlessly dealing with many officials who harbored disloyal intentions.

They deterred those who harbored ill intentions with strong measures.

But how long has it been? Some people are so forgetful, forgetting the pain once the wound has healed.

His greedy nature was eventually exposed, and like a clown, he lurked in the shadows, plotting to stir up trouble again.

The sky over Beijing seemed to be shrouded in a sudden haze, just like a brightly colored painting that had been maliciously splashed with ink, turning it gray and dull.

The once clear and azure sky was instantly covered by layers upon layers of thick clouds.

The clouds pressed down on the earth like heavy lead blocks, as if to imprison all things in the world in this oppressive, almost suffocating atmosphere.

This oppressive feeling was like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts, making every breath difficult and heavy.

The ministers found themselves in this heavy, leaden atmosphere, and their minds were filled with various speculations.

They knew that beneath this seemingly calm surface, undercurrents were surging, and a huge storm might be brewing quietly.

However, they were like travelers lost in a thick fog, vaguely sensing the approaching danger, yet bewildered and at a loss, unsure how to break through this predicament.

Faced with this unknown and ever-changing situation, all they can do is to perform their duties diligently and meticulously with a more rigorous and focused attitude.

They hope that their seemingly small efforts, when combined, can form a powerful force.

To share some of the heavy and arduous burden on the shoulders of the Emperor and the Regent, and to do our part for the country during this turbulent time.

Time flies like an arrow; the seven days passed in the blink of an eye, as if it were just a short and illusory dream.

During these short but intense seven days, Qin Qianluo sent the materials she had painstakingly compiled over countless days and nights to the palace one after another, as if they were precious treasures.

These materials are like a magnificent treasure trove containing endless wisdom and riches, with complex and abundant content.

It covers many fields such as politics, economics, culture, military, and science and technology.

Many of these materials are not immediately useful; they are more like seeds that Qin Qianluo has carefully planted for the long-term development of Zhaoning Kingdom.

In the long river of time, they wait for the right moment to take root, sprout, bloom into beautiful flowers, and bear abundant fruit.

Originally, Qin Qianluo planned to solemnly and respectfully hand over these invaluable documents to the royal family only after she had passed away peacefully at the end of her life.

That was the last profound and precious gift she left for the country as an old minister who had experienced many trials and tribulations and had deep affection for the country and its people.

It is her earnest expectation and beautiful hope for the future of Zhaoning Kingdom.

However, the situation has now changed dramatically, just like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, creating huge waves and breaking the original tranquility.

Everything had to be brought forward, which was undoubtedly a backup plan she had carefully devised for the Zhaoning Kingdom at this critical moment of turbulent change and lurking dangers.

It is a solid and powerful guarantee she left for the country, like a shining lighthouse in the darkness.

It illuminates the way forward for the nation on its unknown journey, guiding it through thick fog and towards a safe harbor.

Fortunately, after decades of hard work and dedication, Zhaoning Kingdom has undergone tremendous and transformative changes.

Today, it resembles a towering tree that has grown strong and tall, with its roots deeply embedded in the earth, like a giant dragon coiled up, drawing endless nutrients, with lush branches and leaves, full of vitality.

Through its unremitting efforts, perseverance, and innovative spirit, the country has achieved remarkable success in various fields.

In terms of increasing grain production, farmers have developed a series of advanced planting techniques and superior varieties through continuous exploration and practice.

This led to a continuous increase in grain production, completely solving the problem of food and clothing for the people.

In the field of weapons improvement, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War worked day and night, combining advanced concepts.

A number of high-performance and powerful weapons and equipment have been developed, providing a solid guarantee for national security.

The Zhaoning Kingdom has its own independent and comprehensive research system, with professional institutions and outstanding talents in important fields that concern the nation's lifeline.

They are like dazzling stars, shining brightly in their respective fields.

Through their own wisdom and hard work, they have propelled the country forward, leading it to prosperity and strength.

If the current steady and positive development trend continues, as long as the rulers of Zhaoning Kingdom do not become extremely incompetent, licentious, or perverse, the situation will remain stable.

The nation will then be able to remain as stable as Mount Tai, continue to prosper and flourish, and stand firm.

Even if a tyrannical ruler were to unfortunately appear, the valuable information left behind by Qin Qianluo would still be available.

This vast and boundless land, with its profound heritage and solid foundation, has always stood at the pinnacle of the world, maintaining its leading position.

We will not fall into an irredeemable tragedy, nor will we see those unbearable, heartbreaking, humiliating, and suffering dark historical records again.

So that when future generations look back on history, they will no longer feel regret and heartache over those tragic past events.

As the Emperor looked at the gifts that Qin Qianluo had brought over one after another, a sudden sense of panic welled up in his heart, as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread.

She understood all too well the value of these materials. Every page and every word embodied Qin Qianluo's hard work and wisdom, and was a testament to her selfless dedication to the country.

She was all too aware of the deeper meaning behind Qin Qianluo's actions—she was clearly making arrangements for her death!

Everything Qin Qianluo did stemmed from her sincere love for the country.

For the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people, they have no selfish thoughts whatsoever.

This selflessness and loyalty, like warm sunshine, stung the emperor's eyes, making her already reluctant heart feel even more like it was falling into an abyss.

Her reluctance to part was like a surging tide, almost overwhelming her.

That reluctance to part was like a sharp knife, cutting into her heart again and again, causing her excruciating pain.

However, she also knew that all of this was unstoppable and absolutely could not be stopped.

Qin Qianluo's mind was made up; it was a manifestation of her deep love and responsibility for the country, a vow of loyalty written with her entire life.

This vow, like words engraved on a stone tablet, is unwavering and indelible.

The Emperor could only suppress the tearing grief and reluctance in his heart and carefully put these things away, as if guarding the most precious and sacred treasures in the world.

She carefully organized and categorized each document, as if she were organizing Qin Qianluo's earnest expectations for the country.

Every movement was gentle and slow, as if afraid of disturbing this precious moment.

Then, she mustered her spirits and devoted herself wholeheartedly to reviewing the memorials.

Each memorial to the throne contained matters of national importance, and every word and sentence reflected her deep concern and anxiety for the country.
