"Throw it away?"
Bai Wanyi frowned. Since he couldn't get it from the prince, he could only hope that Lu Yan would be successful in asking the Qin family.
However, in fact, Bai Wanyi didn't want Lu Yan to succeed. If he succeeded, wouldn't it mean that Qin Wan still had him in her heart?
Bai Wanyi doesn't allow others to covet his things. This feeling is very bad.
Xie Qing didn't care what Bai Wanyi was thinking or worried about. He casually picked up a firearm and took the sword away. Before leaving, he instructed Bai Wanyi: "Send all the firearms to the palace as soon as possible."
"Yes." Bai Wanyi responded subconsciously. When he came to his senses, Xie Qing and Master Du had already ridden away.
"What should I do?!"
Bai Wanyi realized it belatedly and shouted at their backs, but no one paid any attention to her. She could only rent a carriage from the town and take all the firearms in the basement with her.
The craftsman cleaned up the soaked gunpowder in the yard and came to Bai Wanyi to ask, "Madam, where should we store the gunpowder from now on?"
"Where is the place to put it? Let's put it in the basement." Bai Wanyi waved his hands impatiently. It would cost money to move the place, where would he get the money?
Bai Wanyi brought the things back to Beijing. When he saw Lu Yan, he realized that he had not even received the medicine. The couple both breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other in confusion. What should they do?
***
Prince Du watched Xie Qing finish using the firearm, and thinking of its lethality, he said with a hint of murderous intent, "This woman cannot be kept alive."
Xie Qing touched the firearm in his hand, no longer lazy: "She deserves to die, but now is not the time."
Prince Du frowned and asked, "Now is not the time. Should we wait until she has made a bigger killer weapon and established a firm foothold in the court? Then it will be difficult to kill her."
Xie Qing was very clear-headed and disagreed with Master Du's words: "Ending her life now will only be temporary. Once she has mastered everything she knows, it will be our Great Zhou Kingdom that will be the most powerful."
"I will have to settle my account with her sooner or later, but in front of my country, I can take a back seat."
Prince Du wanted to ask, what score do you want to settle with her?
But he still knew what to say and what not to say.
Xie Qing put away his firearms and drew his sword to examine it carefully. "I know what you're worried about, but no matter who comes to power, having something like this will only make my Great Zhou's military even stronger."
"If the Fourth Brothers are really capable, I will accept my defeat with all my heart. If they are not capable, then they will just kneel before me."
Prince Du looked at the Crown Prince, who was as sharp as a sword drawn from his sheath, and was looking forward to the scene of the Fourth Prince and others surrendering at the feet of the Crown Prince.
Xie Qing returned to the palace with two mysterious things.
As soon as she returned to the palace, she went out with the emperor again. No one knew where she went.
A few days later, a truckload of sealed, airtight boxes was sent directly to the Eastern Palace without even being inspected at the palace gate. The Eastern Palace was then surrounded, and no one knew what happened afterwards.
Outsiders only knew that after the emperor left the East Palace, he was very happy and rewarded the prince handsomely.
The Queen's spies in the Eastern Palace were unable to send out a single word, and the people she sent were all killed inexplicably.
The queen was furious and started hitting and smashing things in the bedroom. "Useless thing! You too! You spend the whole day with your flowers and plants, not caring at all!"
The Sixth Prince was holding a pot of peonies in full bloom and taking good care of them. It was so rare for peonies to bloom at this time of year. He eagerly brought the pot to show his mother, but was scolded again.
The Sixth Prince sighed and carefully arranged the peonies himself. "Mother, my second brother is doing well, and you are his aunt. After he ascends the throne, my son's life will not be bad either. What are you fighting for?"
"What am I fighting for? It's all for you! In this deep palace, I have a hard time walking. I have gone through so much hardship to protect you and grow up. You..."
The queen tearfully recounted the difficulties she had faced over the years.
The Sixth Prince lowered his head and responded with "hmm/ahh", but he didn't take it to heart. His mother was confused, but he couldn't be confused.
Besides, what's so good about being a crown prince? What's so good about being an emperor? Look at the second crown prince, he's a target, everyone wants to kill him. What about the emperor? He gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs. It's so hard. Whoever wants to be the emperor can be it.
What the Sixth Prince didn't care about was of great concern to others. The First Prince, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were racking their brains, wanting to know what was going on in the East Palace. They were so anxious that they scratched their heads but didn't know what to do.
The fourth prince did the opposite and made more inquiries, finding out that the things were sent to the palace by Bai Wanyi, the wife of Marquis Pingyang.
Isn't that simple? By tying Pingyang Hou firmly to his side, and making them one as husband and wife, wouldn't that be equivalent to tying up Bai Wanyi? That woman, no matter what, is never honest and very slippery. If you want her to be obedient, you have to use some tricks.
After considering the matter, the Fourth Prince called someone in: "Go and call Lord Wu."
Not long after, Lord Wu arrived. He had not seen the Fourth Prince for a long time since the last time he came to ask the Fourth Prince to make a decision for his daughter.
The Fourth Prince didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Have you really thought it through? Let your daughter become the Marquis of Pingyang's concubine?"
Lord Wu said, "I have indeed considered it carefully. Otherwise, I would not have dared to bring this up with Your Highness."
The Fourth Prince pondered for a moment. "If your daughter were to go to the Pingyang Marquis's mansion as a concubine, I would not openly support her. Moreover, I would have to send two maids as dowry. I hope you don't complain then."
Lord Wu smiled and said, "Your Highness, it is an honor for me to receive such a reward. As for the inner chamber, that is a woman's business. As a prince and a man from outside the family, how can you interfere? Your Highness, don't worry. I understand your thoughts and will let my daughter balance the Lu family's inner chamber."
The Fourth Prince smiled with satisfaction and said, "Come here, please invite the Marquis of Pingyang to come to the mansion for a chat."
Neither Lu Yan nor Bai Wanyi found the scar removal cream. Although the Wu family did not come to urge them, they knew that a barking dog would bite.
Lu Yan was at the training ground of the Beijing Guard Command Headquarters. When he heard the Fourth Prince summoning him, he immediately felt like the other shoe had dropped. Without even taking off his armor, he went straight to the Fourth Prince's mansion.
Lu Yan, dressed in armor, looked majestic and had the demeanor of a military general. As he walked past, the maids blushed with shame. They knew that they had to choose two people to accompany Miss Wu San to marry into the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.
From a maid in the palace to a maidservant for an official's daughter, who could be willing to do so? But now, looking at the graceful demeanor of Pingyang Hou, who could not be tempted?
"Your humble servant pays respects to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Lu Yan clasped his fists and bowed, then nodded to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu."
Lord Wu raised his chin slightly. The wound on his daughter's face had not healed yet, so he couldn't give Lu Yan a good face now.
The Fourth Prince pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down. I heard that Marquis Lu is now doing a great job at the Beijing Guard Command Headquarters."
Lu Yan nodded. "The Jingwei Command is responsible for protecting the capital and guarding the imperial palace. It's a heavy responsibility, but there are many shortcomings that need to be drastically rectified. Although I am not talented, I can handle it."
The Fourth Prince knew about this matter, especially the guards guarding the palace gates. Nowadays, most of them are children of powerful people. There are many who just want to get by and few who work seriously, and there are many omissions everywhere.
