After Fleeing, The Calamity Princess Consort Empties Her Enemy's Storehouse

Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...

Chapter 410: Ye Tingxiao! Do you know your guilt?

"good!"

Du Wanwan stared motionlessly at Ye Tingxiao in the mirror, stretching out his slender, bony fingers to help her tie her hair up one by one.

His movements were gentle and graceful, his beautiful fingers moving through her hair, and he quickly styled her hair into a style.

She didn't wear many hair accessories, just a white jade hairpin inserted diagonally, which looked very lively.

Her eyes are as bright as stars, sparkling with wisdom.

In her eyes, you can see her enthusiasm and kindness, as well as her determination and tenacity.

Just like a deep lake, no matter how you explore, it is difficult to reach its bottom.

Her long hair is like a black waterfall, and her smile is warm and sweet, just like the spring sunshine, making people feel extremely comfortable.

The voice is as sweet as a stream, whether it is a whisper or a lively conversation, it makes people want to keep listening.

Every movement seemed to be performed with a natural grace and energy.

She has a graceful figure, and every turn she makes, every glance she lowers or raises, seems so vivid and attractive.

"Wanwan! You are so beautiful! I love you so much!" After saying this, Ye Tingxiao's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Wanwan! I really want to swallow you in one bite. Your beauty can only be seen by me."

Du Wanwan turned her head and looked at him, grinning: "It's a pity that it's daybreak, you can't swallow it even if you want to, I have to go to the clinic."

"I'll come back to eat it in the evening." Ye Tingxiao pinched Du Wanwan's nose, took her hand, and left the space with her. "Today I have to go to the palace to report my whereabouts to the emperor, and then meet the prince."

"Go ahead! I'll wait for you at the People's Hospital."

The two had a brief exchange, had breakfast, and went about their own business.

The emperor summoned Yetingxiao to the imperial study, accompanied by the prince.

"Ye Tingxiao! Do you know your crime?" The emperor asked angrily with a dark face, pointing at Ye Tingxiao who was kneeling down to pay his respects.

Ye Tingxiao thought about it but couldn't figure out what crime he had committed. The Crown Prince Ouyang Jing standing beside him also didn't understand what his father was saying. Aren't we usually very happy when Ye Tingxiao was mentioned?

Why did he get angry when he saw someone today? What crime could Ye Tingxiao have committed?

Did he defeat the Northern Kingdom? He also brought back the fire gun from the East Chen Kingdom. Without him, the Great Wei might have been conquered by the Northern Kingdom.

What crime has he committed?

Yetingxiao said, "Yes! I am guilty."

The emperor's expression relaxed, but he still scolded: "Tell me, what crime have you committed?"

Crown Prince Ouyang Jing pretended to cough, and his meaning was very clear. He was telling Ye Tingxiao not to be so cowardly. How could he admit that he was guilty?

Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Ye Tingxiao: “???”

Do you think I want to? Isn't there anything I can do? If the matter of the musket is investigated, it will be no small matter. My Wanwan's secret must not be exposed, so I have to bear all the responsibilities.

"Your Majesty is wise and has foreseen the situation. You are well aware of my crime, so why should you speak it out?"

The emperor shook his head and glanced at the prince: "You'd better tell me the whole story, so that the prince can hear why I scold you."

"yes!"

The prince was speechless: “????”

Why did Father say that to me? I didn't say a word.

"The initial design of the fire gun was already in Liangjun City. At that time, the King of Dongchen came to look for his relatives and wanted to buy the repeating crossbow to restore his country.

I felt that thing was not as powerful as the musket, so I gave him the musket which had not yet been fully developed. The development of gunpowder was completed in Dongchen State.

When the King of Dongchen took away the musket, he made an agreement that the musket could not be sold at will. Unless the Great Wei Kingdom needed it, no other country could have one.

If the Great Wei Kingdom needs it, the Dongchen Kingdom must unconditionally transfer all the manufacturing technologies related to muskets.

The King of Dongchen will only promise to keep the original agreement if I go there in person. He will never hand over the manufacturing technology to outsiders.

If you don’t understand the principle of the fire gun and the production of gunpowder, even if the Lord of Dongchen gives it to you, you may not be able to use it. Once the two are not matched, the fire gun will not be able to exert its power. "

After a mixture of true and false words, Du Wanwan was completely exposed. The matter of the musket had nothing to do with her.

Whether the emperor punishes or rewards him has nothing to do with his daughter Wanwan. He will bear all the consequences, whether good or bad.

Prince Ouyang Jing's eyes widened: "Zhong Yuan! How did you come up with the idea of inventing a fire gun?"

"I thought of it by accident." Ye Tingxiao evaded the question casually, but he didn't dare to say that it was his Wanwan who took it out. "Once I was being chased by someone. That person was very skilled in martial arts. He slashed me with a knife and I almost died.

Afterwards, I thought about whether I could create a weapon that could kill a person without getting close to him. After studying it over and over for a long time, I finally came up with a semi-finished product, which was taken back by the Lord of Dongchen to be manufactured."

The emperor said nothing, just kept staring at Ye Tingxiao. Then he raised his hand and asked him to stand up from the ground.

"How much do you know about the King of Qi? Why didn't you report it immediately?"

Ye Tingxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I know a lot about the King of Qi, but I dare not report it casually for fear of causing unrest in the court.

If he hadn't used conspiracy and trickery to plot against my family, he wouldn't have been able to shake the Wei Dynasty. I want to find a suitable time to talk about this matter. "

The emperor listened and nodded slightly: "Indeed, you have the ability to be conceited. If you had not been exiled to the border town, the fire gun would have been taken back long ago. Even if the King of Qi got the blueprint of the crossbow, it would be useless.

I have a question, why didn't the Northern Kingdom make a heavy crossbow? Is it possible that the heavy crossbow is missing from the crossbow blueprints?"

Ouyang Jing was also puzzled by this question. The northerners never made a heavy crossbow. Among the repeating machine crossbows, the light crossbow and the heavy crossbow work together to achieve the best effect. Why didn't the Qiezi have a heavy crossbow?

Ye Tingxiao bowed and replied: "When we were making the heavy crossbow, it was my wife who reminded me that if we enlarged the light crossbow by twenty times, it would be very useful against the cavalry.

My father ordered the manufacturing department to manufacture one according to this instruction, and it was indeed extremely powerful. There was no blueprint for the heavy crossbow, it was just a copy of the light crossbow twenty times.

Everyone in the data production department knew about this, so they were too lazy to draw the blueprints. Unexpectedly, this laziness saved us from a lot of trouble.”

The prince was amused: "Hahaha! It seems that being lazy sometimes has its benefits. Jizi is too stupid to know how to multiply the crossbow and create a heavy crossbow."

The emperor also smiled. From this point of view, the people of the Northern Kingdom are no match for the people of Wei. He didn't know what Wei Hanyi saw in the Khan of the Northern Kingdom.

He is tall and strong, and smells bad. Even when he is sweating profusely, he still lives a rough life.

Why can that woman tolerate him but not herself?

Ye Tingxiao didn't dare to laugh out loud, but just showed a slight smile on his face. Neither the automatic crossbow nor the musket was invented by him. They were all the masterpieces of his daughter Wanwan.

It's a pity that no one dared to attribute such a great achievement to her, for fear of arousing jealousy, envy and hatred. A woman is actually more powerful than a man. I don't know how many people want to harm her.
