Liu Yun was stunned. She never imagined that a servant would dare to rebel.

Anu took the knife in her hand and slashed at Liu Yun's face, shouting as she did so: "You vicious woman, you can't even control your own son and you get scolded by others, but you take it out on us servants. Don't our lives matter?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of your entire family being wiped out when I'm all alone? Hahaha, even if I die, I won't let you get away with it."

He then made several more sharp cuts before shoving Liu Yun forward and then slashing the dagger at his own neck.

The next moment he collapsed to the ground, still whimpering something.

Liu Yun had fainted from the pain, and the servants hurriedly went to fetch the family physician back.

The old woman quickly went to find the prince; this old woman was Liu Yun's wet nurse.

In the wet nurse's mind, although Liu Yun had become quite cunning and extremely ruthless.

But the wet nurse knew how Liu Yun had gotten here all this way!

The entire palace was in chaos until the prince returned home, at which point things returned to a slightly calmer state.

When the prince learned that Lady Liu Yun's face had been disfigured by a servant, his expression remained indifferent.

According to the servants' reports, Madam Liu Yun brought this upon herself, so she has no one else to blame but herself.

He entered the room, peeked at the disfigured face, and then immediately turned and left.

"From now on, Madam Liu Yun should stay here permanently and not run around and frighten others."

The woman, who had already woken up in bed, heard that the prince had actually given up on her like this, so she sat up and smashed everything she could in the room.

A few days later, Liu Yun, who had recovered slightly, cried loudly in her nanny's arms.

“Nanny, why is he so cruel to me? I have never done anything to wrong him and I even gave birth to two healthy sons for him.”

But he never even glanced at me; his attention was entirely focused on that pampered girl outside.

The wet nurse gently stroked Liu Yun's back and softly comforted her, "Some things can't be forced. Since he doesn't like you, let's just wait it out in the manor."

"When the eldest young master is in charge in the future, you will still be the mistress. The prince must have been bewitched by that woman, otherwise he wouldn't have abandoned such a fine princess and instead fallen for a commoner."

Liu Yun was suddenly mentioned to the princess by her wet nurse, and a trace of regret rose in her heart. Why did she think that by eliminating the princess, she could get that position, when both of them were unpopular women?

...

The Princess's residence was bustling with activity today, as the Emperor and the Duke came to visit.

The Duke asked Xia, "What has your little princess been busy with lately? She's even stopped going to the morning court."

Xia looked up and saw the emperor. She instinctively knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

As soon as Su Muyao finished her ceremony and came out of the room, Xia stepped aside.

"What else could it be? Of course, it's to do something useful for Your Majesty and your people!"

Then he turned to the Duke and said, "Why do I have to attend court every day? Don't you find it strange that a six-year-old toddler like me is discussing matters with a bunch of old men?"

The Duke...

Just as Su Muyao was chatting with the Duke.

The emperor then pressed a button in his study with a click, and the entire study began to rattle and creak as if a mechanism was being activated.

Su Muyao was completely shocked. When did her study become a place with hidden mechanisms?

As a 21st-century young woman, she had never seen such an ancient mechanism before, and she couldn't see anything wrong with it after using it for so long.

Then the emperor's voice came: "This was designed at the time, and almost all the residences of royal princes after they were separated were designed this way."

It's just that the location might be different; this is the mechanism leading to the next room.

Normally, we pretend not to know each other. But if there's danger, you can run directly to the next room through this door, and someone will escort you away.

Su Muyao nodded blankly, but then she wondered why the Emperor would suddenly come over and say such a thing.

"Has something happened to my royal uncle?"

The emperor sighed and sat down in the main seat of the study: "We have received a report from Yanzhou that a small country is causing trouble and is inquiring about the Crown Prince and the young princess of the Great Dynasty, as well as some members of the royal family."

The Duke said, "Although this kind of thing happens every year, the Emperor's intention is to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, and he also thinks that since you are not a member of the royal family, you may not fully understand the true purpose of this house."

The Emperor took a cup of tea and drank it: "Don't be fooled by the fact that your neighbors look like ordinary people; they are all ruthless assassins."

When you are in danger and need their help, they will risk their lives to get you safely to safety, so you can rest assured about that.

Su Muyao nodded, thinking that she had given those guns to people she trusted over the past few days, and that each of them had one.

I believe that even if something unexpected happens, the family members in the hospital can still be saved.

It was only then that Su Muyao realized how hard life was for these royals.

I wonder how many assassination attempts the original emperor must have survived to be so vigilant, even setting up the residences of his imperial relatives in this manner.

The emperor had lunch here at noon. Su Muyao asked the cook to cook some congee and make some meat pies.

The cook in the mansion was Aunt Wang from Peach Willow Village. Su Muyao had the good fortune to taste Aunt Wang's cooking before, and it was absolutely superb.

Some of the simple porridge and side dishes were made quite delicious, which is why Su Muyao invited Aunt Wang to her home to be her cook after meeting her at the factory.

When the emperor ate in the palace, he could not eat more than three bites of any dish, nor could he show any preference for any particular food.

As soon as he left the palace, the emperor forgot all about it.

I don't know if the pie was really delicious, or if the emperor was just tired of eating all sorts of delicacies.

In short, I ate four pies in one go and drank a large bowl of porridge.

A few days ago, on my way to the factory to pay the employees' wages, I passed by the fields and saw people planting rice seedlings.

Seeing them bent over and looking exhausted, even though most of the work was done by manual laborers, Su Muyao still felt a lingering fear of the hardship involved.

A single town would cover over a thousand acres, not to mention the capital city.

I realized that I also have a large rice transplanter in my own space.

But there were only two machines in the end. Thinking of the vast number of people in the great dynasty, it seemed that he started flipping through books in the space.

Undeterred, she finally spotted a rice transplanter used in mountain rice paddies, where the terrain was uneven and large transplanters were unsuitable.

There was a genius who invented this hand-cranked rice transplanter.

After Su Muyao finished reading all the descriptions, she couldn't help but sigh, "This is really a good thing."

With current conditions, it is possible to achieve this without electricity, diesel or gasoline, or any sophisticated design.

In the future, the entire dynasty can use this kind of rice transplanter. Normally, one person can transplant one acre of land per day.
