All those who participated in the plot to murder Cao Cao, from ministers like Yang Biao and Kong Rong to eunuchs like Mu Shun, were all executed.

But in the edict just read out, Fu Shou did not hear her father Fu Wan's name, which made her a little nervous.

"What did you just call me?"

Yang Ling smiled lazily.

Fu Shou's pretty face turned red and he whispered,

"Husband...husband..."

"That's pretty much it."

Yang Ling laughed with satisfaction and said,

"Although the father-in-law was also involved, fortunately the queen took the initiative to abandon the dark side and turned to the bright side, and she also had a husband to speak kindly to the prime minister."

"Therefore, the Prime Minister shows mercy beyond the law and absolutely forgives the Fu family's crimes."

Hearing this, Fu Shou was surprised and happy.

"Thank you so much, husband!"

"You and I, why do you have to be so polite?"

Yang Ling smiled and waved her hand,

"It's just that the queen has made such a great contribution, how do you want your husband to reward you?"

Fu Shou was slightly startled, as if he remembered something, and then he mustered up his courage and said,

"Husband, can you... take me out of the palace..."

This time the Fu family stayed out of the matter, Liu Xie would never trust Fu Shou again.

In addition, Fu Shou was already Yang Ling's man, so there was no point in continuing to stay in the palace.

That's why she made such a request.

"My husband has thought about this."

Yang Ling touched his chin and muttered,

"It's just that you are still the Queen after all. It is really unreasonable to leave the palace like this."

Regardless of whether Liu Xie and Fu Shou's relationship broke down, the relationship between the two is there.

If she really wants to leave the palace, it will still have an impact on the reputation of the royal family.

Cao Cao did not intend to depose Liu Xie from the throne for the same reason.

After all, Hebei has not yet been completely pacified. There are still Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan in the south, and Liu Zhang, Ma Teng, and others in the west.

We still need to put enough effort into saving face.

"Okay, I will obey my husband."

Fushou said this, but his expression was a little disappointed.

"But don't worry, after some communication between my husband and the prime minister, he agreed that you can enter and leave the palace freely."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"real?"

Fu Shou suddenly looked happy.

Ever since Cao Cao took control of the empire and revealed his ambition, she and Liu Xie were as if they were imprisoned and could only stay in the palace.

How could she not be happy to hear this good news?

"How could my husband lie to you?"

"Thank you so much, husband!"

Fu Shou's excitement was beyond words.

"Since you want to thank your husband, you might as well do something practical."

Yang Ling suddenly smiled evilly, stretched out his hand, and pushed Fu Shou's head down.

Fu Shou was no longer a virgin and had been trained by him several times before, but it was not voluntary.

But this time, she looked at Yang Ling with a charming look, consciously pushed up her hair, and squatted down.



After Yang Biao, Kong Rong and others were wiped out, the ministers loyal to Liu Xie in the imperial court had been completely eliminated.

Those who can continue to serve as officials are almost all Cao Cao's confidants!

Yang Ling, who had made great achievements in succession, also took a break at home for the time being, spending a romantic and snowy night with a group of beauties.

"It's been so hot these days, it's unbearable."

Mi Zhen complained as she flapped her bamboo fan.

It's been a hot summer day recently, but for some reason, the weather is even hotter than in previous years.

The women who were fighting with landlords in the house were all wearing gauze-like clothes, and their beautiful bodies were looming.

But despite this, they were still dripping with sweat.

Even Yang Ling, who was shirtless, felt a little dizzy from the heat.

"My husband is always smart, but is there any way to cool down the heat for us sisters?"

Diao Chan's beautiful eyes looked at Yang Ling expectantly.

Yang Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly.

No matter how smart he is, he can't change the weather.

"Oh, it's a pity that my father didn't like spending money and canceled the ice room last year. Otherwise, we could use ice cubes to cool down."

Cao Qing sighed.

Her words were just unintentional words, but Yang Ling's eyes lit up.

yes.

You can use ice cubes to cool down!

"Ladies, don't be anxious, there is a way for your husband."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"Husband, do you have any good ideas?"

"Tell our sisters quickly."

When the girls heard this, they all urged him.

"It's what Qing'er just said, using ice cubes to cool down."

Yang Ling smiled.

Cao Qing was startled at first, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"My husband's suggestion is good, but we don't have ice..."

As early as the Zhou Dynasty, the ancients had already invented the method of hiding ice.

They dug deep underground cellars called icehouses and stored ice from rivers and lakes in the icehouses during the coldest months of winter.

When summer arrives, use ice cubes to cool down and relieve the heat.

It's just that this method consumes too much manpower and material resources. If it's not the royal family or princes and ministers, ordinary people can't afford it.

Just like Cao Cao, he also cared about money and did not store ice in winter.

At this juncture, if you want to use ice cubes to cool down, how is this possible?

However, Yang Ling smiled confidently,

"I have a way to make ice cubes!"

As soon as these words came out, all the girls looked surprised.

It's hot summer now, how could Yang Ling make ice cubes?

"What can you do, husband?"

Huang Yueying, who had always believed in Yang Ling, couldn't help but wonder.

"Ladies, don't be impatient. I'll wait and see if my husband can do a trick for you."

Yang Ling laughed and hooked his hand at Guo Zhao who was standing aside.

When she came closer, Yang Ling gave instructions in a low voice.

After hearing this, Guo Zhao nodded obediently, turned and left the room.

All the beauties were extremely curious and could only wait patiently.

After a while, Guo Zhao turned back, but he had two wooden basins, one large and one small, and a jar in his hand.

Yang Ling put the small wooden basin into the large wooden basin, and then began to pour water into the two wooden basins.

After ensuring that the water surface of the small basin was lower than the water surface of the big basin, Yang Ling stopped.

He took the jar from Guo Zhao's hand and poured the snow-white crystalline object inside into the large wooden basin.

As Yang Ling kept stirring, it didn't take long before something surprising happened to the girls.

I saw a few ice cubes appearing in the water in the small basin.

The originally hot room also felt a rare coolness.

"This...how is this possible?"

Even Huang Yueying, who has always been extremely intelligent, was so surprised that she opened her mouth slightly.

The other girls' beautiful eyes widened and they couldn't believe their own eyes.

It was a scorching summer day. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that Yang Ling actually made ice!

"With my husband, nothing is impossible."

Seeing that the girls were shocked by the simple knowledge of physics, Yang Ling couldn't help laughing.

"Queen, order your servants to follow my method and make large quantities of ice cubes."
