"Then where are you planning to go? You're leaving us two old people here to suffer hardships. The rules of the Qing Dynasty are really unacceptable." Lang Jia asked.
"I've thought it all out. It's just right that I die of smallpox, and you, father, will take advantage of the opportunity to research cowpox. It will benefit the present and future generations, and it's a guarantee. If you resign from your post due to grief, fatigue, and physical weakness, you can bring mother to see me. This time, there is still only one central idea, which is to destroy the small island country and start a great era of navigation. When Yongqi, who has been taught by Ruyi, ascends the throne, we can directly present the sea map. This time we must conquer the world together!" Yihuan is so ambitious now.
"That's a nice thought, but don't forget that nothing can be taken out of the seal in the warehouse. Even if you want to take over the small island country, we have to start with shipbuilding and military training. What can I do as a commoner after I resign? If I use the power of my family, I will be burned to death in minutes." Yongshou poked her forehead in annoyance.
"Father, that's why I'm escaping death. The first thing I'm going to is Jiangnan. That's the base for the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Once I've infiltrated the enemy, I'll tell them the island nation has gold and silver mines. Rebellion requires both money and talent, and there are gold and silver mines over there, which is a perfect place to train troops away from the eyes and ears. Then I'll give them shipbuilding plans. That way, I'll have both the people and the money. Once we've captured the island nation and trained our troops, there's so much unowned territory outside of the Qing Dynasty. We've already conquered the sea, and you're still clinging to a mere Qing Dynasty. You're foolish, aren't you?"
"You're so confident in your ability to deceive, but you don't remember that the ancients valued leaving one's homeland. You think you can just follow me by saying a few words. When a war breaks out and the people suffer, I'll see if you have enough merit to save your life."
"Ah, Father, everything depends on human effort. Besides, you and Mother will come to me in three years at the most. By then, Father, there will be no problem with you taking charge of the overall planning."
"You are just lazy. I won't agree with you this time. I won't resign!" Yongshou said that this child is like a leaky cotton-padded jacket and he doesn't feel sorry for him at all.
"Oh, father, please don't you want to fight the small island country anymore?" Yihuan was so skilled at acting like a spoiled child.
"Hmph, I've already figured out cowpox. Can't I apply to go directly to the seaside for training? You mentioned the gold and silver mines over there. People these days are so extravagant, how could they refuse the money? Just die peacefully and live a carefree life. I'll take you with me when we attack the island nation."
“Ama is the best!”
Even without Yihuan, the Double Ninth Festival was filled with singing and dancing in the palace. However, since there was no one who could outperform Ruyi, Zhen Huan didn't send anyone away. Hongli's guilt towards Ruyi, coupled with her change, made the two of them spend a few days in a sweet relationship.
The Queen was under house arrest and did not need to go to pay her respects. For a moment, the two of them really had some affection like an ordinary couple. But this alone was not enough. Ruyi knew that Hongli was a womanizer, self-willed, heartless, selfish, hypocritical, and very suspicious. How could such a person be with her for the rest of her life?
On the seventh day after the Double Ninth Festival, the Yehelana mansion was covered in white. Princess Yihuan had passed away after all. From that day on, the people had a new doctor, Gu.
