Princess Taiping smiled softly.
She raised her head, looked to the west, and said slowly: "My son is buried there, and I will never leave him in this life."
"The crown prince must hope that the princess can live a happy life, and if you want to be happy, you must leave here." Cheng Wanwan said firmly, "We will take the little princess away with us, return to Dayu Country, and invite the best imperial doctor in Dayu Country. Diagnosis and treatment may help the little princess open her eyes..."
"Xin'er won't wake up again. I know she won't wake up, so why bother?" Princess Taiping smiled, "However, I will help Mrs. Sui and King Qin leave. Is there anything you need help with?" Place, just open your mouth.”
Cheng Wanwan frowned: "Princess, if you don't leave, King Xirong will vent his anger on you..."
"Mrs. Sui, there is no need to say anything." Princess Taiping stood up, "Since I have married Xirong, I will never leave. I have made up my mind."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the inner room.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but sigh. She could vaguely understand the princess's persistence, but she didn't agree with it.
But this is the life of a princess. She has no way to make decisions for others. She has advised everything that needs to be advised and said everything that needs to be said. There is only so much she can do.
After nightfall, the sound of chanting in the courtyard became quieter.
Cheng Wanwan took people into the warehouse and asked Cheng Yi and Cheng Ding to dismantle all the fireworks and firecrackers, extract the gunpowder from them, and then make them into small balls.
This thing sounds complicated, but it is actually very simple. Once you master the skills, you can make hundreds of them in half an hour...
She has to go to the experimental field tomorrow. If the muskets can really be used, they must be made in large quantities immediately. It is best to have one in each hand. The probability of escaping will be higher...
While she was busy, she heard resentful cries.
She walked outside and heard the crying coming from the direction of Leng Gong.
Ever since Mrs. Li became Li Ji and was relegated to the cold palace, she would cry in the cold palace every night.
However, King Xirong had never set foot in the cold palace for so long, so the crying became more and more miserable day by day.
At this time, a group of palace people passed by outside the wall and were discussing Mrs. Li's affairs.
"I heard that the crown prince came to the palace today to plead for Li Ji, and was scolded by the king for half an hour. Li Ji is afraid that he will never be favored again."
"When the crown prince ascends the throne, Li Ji will be the queen mother. Good luck is yet to come."
"That's right. It's only a matter of time before the crown prince ascends the throne. As long as Li Ji is still alive, she will definitely be the most noble woman in Xirong."
"..."
Cheng Wanwan knew that the crown prince they were talking about was not the dead son of Princess Taiping, but the crown prince who was later established, which was Li Ji's eldest son.
With such an eldest son here, Li Ji will not have to worry about anything in the future.
And Princess Taiping's future is probably...
"No, the Crown Prince is injured!" A palace attendant outside exclaimed, "The Crown Prince suddenly fell off the horse while playing Cuju, and his leg was broken. The Chinese doctor said that the bones were broken, and the Crown Prince will not be able to heal for the rest of his life. Walking."
"Oh my god, the crown prince has become a cripple. Can he still inherit the throne?"
"The ancestors of Xirong stipulated that a physically disabled person cannot be the king, so he should be replaced by a prince."
"In addition to the crown prince, the eldest prince is also Li Ji's son. Li Ji will not suffer any loss no matter what."
"..."
Cheng Wanwan's lips curled up, and Princess Taiping finally took action.
After Li Ji fell out of favor, she knew that Princess Taiping would definitely avenge her son and daughter. Sure enough, the princess did not let her down.
In the following period, Li Ji's children had troubles one after another.
The crown prince broke his leg, the second son contracted the disease in the land of fireworks, the third son got into a fight and lost his eyes... The eldest daughter was kidnapped by thieves when she went out, and the second daughter was violently abused by her husband and had a miscarriage on the spot...
Li Ji's five children all suffered.
Princess Taiping was so unconcealed that it actually made Cheng Wanwan worried.
She found an excuse to enter the queen's palace. Once she entered, she was stunned for a long time.
Last time I came back here, the palace was extremely luxurious, and the servants came and went. Although the queen was not favored, she still had the dignity she deserved.
But now, this palace is desolate and cold, and with the heavy snow, it looks like a dark and cold palace.
"Don't be surprised." The queen held the heater in her hand with a sneer on her face, "He knew clearly that it was me who did it, but he didn't dare to deal with me. It just shows that he is afraid of Dayu. He is afraid that if he deals with me, he will not be able to explain to Dayu. , so Mrs. Sui doesn’t need to worry, I’m fine.”
Cheng Wanwan looked at the little princess lying on the couch and sighed: "No matter which country wins this battle, the princess and the King of Xirong will always be incompatible. It's better to leave here on the funeral day..."
She still couldn't help but persuade her again.
Princess Taiping shook her head gently: "I don't miss Dayu at all. All my feelings are in Xirong."
Cheng Wanwan understood this sentence.
The late emperor of Dayu Kingdom has long since passed away, and Princess Taiping’s mother-in-law has long since faded away. As a princess, she will not have any unnecessary feelings for other brothers who are not of the same mother... On the contrary, she has a pair of children in Xirong, So all her feelings are in Xirong...she has no way to leave.
Cheng Wanwan sighed.
I hope that after Dayu's victory this time, the princess's situation in Xirong will be better.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Cheng Wanwan goes to the experimental field more and more frequently.
There are charcoal fires burning in all directions of the experimental field. The temperature inside is similar to that in spring and summer, which is very suitable for rice growth.
After such a long time, the rice has grown as long as a small elbow. The water is rippled and the rice is green. It is joyful to look at it.
The officials of Xirong Kingdom have been paying close attention to the fields and recording data from time to time, which shows the importance they attach to this matter.
Cheng Wanwan answered some officials' questions and then went into the small courtyard to rest.
He Xiao gave her a look, and she entered the inner room on the pretext of going to the royal room.
As soon as he entered, King Qin came up to him: "Mrs. Sui, you are so amazing. How did you come up with this thing? He Xiao and I sneaked up to the back mountain to try it out in the middle of the night last night. One round of ammunition actually worked. Shooting an adult wild boar to death is too violent!"
"As long as it works." Cheng Wanwan picked up the musket, "Each person has a gun and two hundred rounds of ammunition. Wait for my signal on the day of the funeral."
Shen Dongming lowered his voice: "When I leave, do I have to destroy this experimental field?"
"That's not necessary." Cheng Wanwan smiled, "Ten acres of land can indeed produce a lot of rice seeds. However, these rice seeds are of no use except for eating. It doesn't hurt to leave them some thoughts."
By the time they react next year, it will be too late.
Master Bi took out the drawings of the capital of Xirong, and the group carefully studied the escape route, how to successfully escape from the capital, which direction to go after leaving the city, how to join the Dayu army as soon as possible... these small details must be finalized clearly.
After the time and route are determined, Princess Taiping's people need to pass the news to the people of Dayu. The two parties must cooperate internally and externally to minimize casualties...
