Su Ruoxin, originally the Young Miss of Prefect Lin’s family in Yan Yang, grew up with Old Madam Lin in the mansion, unloved by her father and mother.
Until Prefect Lin found his biological d...
From then on, Wei Yingshuang obeyed Lin Wanqing's every command.
"Get up, Wei Yingshuang. How is the matter I assigned you progressing?"
Wei Yingshuang lowered her head and replied cautiously, "I have already sent a letter to my father and brother, asking them to help purchase sulfur. I believe we will receive a reply in the next few days."
"Yes, if this succeeds, I will ensure that you live a life of luxury in Bei Li, and no one will dare to bully you again."
Although the Prince Qin has not caused any trouble for Wei Yingshuang recently, all the concubines in the Prince's mansion can read physiognomy.
Although this princess of the Great Chu had the title of princess consort, she did not receive the prince's favor. In private, anyone could bully her. Wei Yingshuang did not have a good life in the prince's mansion.
Lin Wanqing knew very well that as long as the Wei family could help the Northern Li King purchase sulfur, Wei Yingshuang's status would be completely different from what it used to be, without her having to lift a finger.
She naturally wouldn't tell Wei Yinshuang all this; she wanted to take advantage of this time to properly train Wei Yinshuang and make her forever submit to her.
Lin Wanqing waved her hand, and a palace maid beside her carried a tray with a set of ruby headdresses on it.
"This was a gift from His Majesty to me. Since you've been obedient, I'll give it to you as a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yingshuang knelt down again to express her gratitude.
After Lin Wanqing left, Wei Yingshuang sat in the room touching the headdress, her eyes dark and unreadable.
To put it bluntly, Bei Li was just a northern barbarian tribe, and they didn't have the same rules as the Great Chu, such as the husband's family not being able to use the wife's dowry. In Bei Li, there was no such thing.
In Bei Li, once a woman marries into her husband's family, she and her dowry belong entirely to her husband, who is responsible for distributing them.
Wei Yinshuang's dowry had long been confiscated by the Prince Qin, and some of it had been distributed to his other concubines. If she dared to object, she would be severely beaten by the Prince Qin.
The jewelry Lin Wanqing is now giving her is worlds apart from the ones Wei Yinshuang used to own.
It's probably something Lin Wanqing didn't want, since it wasn't a gift from the king.
A bitter smile appeared on Wei Yinshuang's lips, and resentment flashed in her eyes.
Since Lin Wanqing gave her the opportunity to send a letter home, she has a chance to turn things around!
Lin Wanqing would check the contents of her letter. She dared not directly state her situation in the letter, but she explained the importance of the sulfur and asked her father to make sure that her brother delivered it personally.
As long as her brother comes to Bei Li, she will make him take her back to Da Chu. She never wants to stay in this damned Bei Li again!
When Lin Wanqing returned to the palace, a palace servant reported that the Prince of Beili wanted her to come over.
Lin Wanqing's eyes flickered. Previously, the Prince of Beili had tried to subtly ask her how she developed this explosive, but she had always brushed him off with various excuses.
Now that he's succeeded, he probably wants to ask her for the recipe.
Lin Wanqing dared not hand over this life-saving item. She had already thought of a way to deal with it, so she didn't care and followed the palace servants to the study of the Northern Li King.
However, they discovered that not only King Bei Li was in the study, but also the chieftain of the Frost Moon tribe.
Lin Wanqing had met this clan chief once before at the Northern Li tribe's assembly.
The matter of explosives was something that the Northern King would not let others know, so it was clear that he had not summoned her here for that reason.
Lin Wanqing noticed that the chieftain of the Frost Moon tribe had a dark expression on his face, as if something had happened.
Lin Wanqing bowed to the King of Bei Li without changing her expression, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
“Your Majesty, there’s no need for formalities. I’ve summoned you because a strange thing has happened in the Frostmoon tribe. I remember that Your Majesty knows some medicine, and I wanted to see if Your Majesty has any solutions. Chief Huipiao, please tell the Queen about this matter.”
"yes."
