Xia Youyou was stunned by the slap, her eyes rolled up, and some words came out without thinking: "There are no generals available in the court now. If the Ling family doesn't use so many talented generals, Dajing will perish."
"Da Jing relies on the Ling family?" Leng Feng shook his head after hearing this.
Do the Ling family really think they are the pillars of the country?
Fu Ciyi ordered impatiently: "Throw it out."
"yes."
Caizhen Caizhu picked up Xia Youyou and dragged her out.
Xia Youyou burst into tears and shouted, "It is rumored that Princess Rui is very spoiled. Doesn't His Royal Highness Prince Rui want to try other women? I..."
"Anything more?" Caiyu slapped him again.
Xia Youyou's cheeks were swollen from the beating.
Yan Funing, without even a glance at the woman being dragged away, also gave an order: "Send the gold to the Ministry of Revenue to serve as military pay; as for the military manual, although it is of little use, it should still be sent to the Ministry of War."
"Yes, Princess."
The cold wind swept all the gold and military books into the wooden box, taking the partition away with it.
We must not allow the Ling family’s disgusting things to disgust the two masters.
The study finally became quiet.
Yan Funing picked up her pen and continued to modify the crossbow diagram: "While everyone is busy, the Ling family is thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to gain something for themselves. They are giving away gold and beauties today, hoping to get my husband off the horse."
It's too blatant.
Fu Ciyi's voice was cold and icy. "Those related to the Ling family include not only the military power they have already handed over, but also the deposed Empress Dowager, Consort Ling, and Long Lihui."
"So the Ling family is taking a gamble. They regard my husband as the biggest stumbling block for Long Lihui to become the crown prince."
"I never considered Long Lihui as an opponent."
"Too."
How could that villain Long Lihui be compared with her husband?
Fu Ciyi took a deep look at the sand table and finally sighed: "I wonder how many people will volunteer tomorrow?"
"My eldest and second brothers will definitely do that."
"My two uncles mentioned this before, but it's just a drop in the bucket."
"It's getting late now. Let's see how things go tomorrow." Yan Funing held up the paper and showed it to him. "I've made some improvements here to reduce the weight and make it easier to carry. It's also easier to shoot from horseback."
Fu Ciyi examined it for a moment and nodded: "Very good, you can take it to Tong Cheng tomorrow."
"Yes, when we are short on manpower, we need better weapons." Yan Funing smoothed out the paper again and pressed it down with a paperweight. "Let's make some more revisions. Time is running out."
"Thank you for your hard work, madam. You have given me one hundred thousand taels today. You are really generous."
"What is a hundred thousand taels to the people and soldiers of Dajing?"
"What do you mean by 'it doesn't matter'? Your courage is beyond the reach of most men."
Fu Ciyi stared closely at her as she concentrated on painting, and gathered his sleeves to help her grind the ink.
"Thank you, my husband, for grinding the ink." Yan Funing raised her head and gave him a charming smile. "Who says I'm the wife of His Royal Highness Prince Rui?"
Now outside the mansion.
Caizhen Caizhu threw Xia Youyou to the ground.
Xia Youyou kept crying and shouting. Caizhen raised her palm like a knife and chopped her neck on the back, and she fainted.
"Brother Lengfeng, what should we do with this bitch?" Caizhen kicked Xia Youyou's body.
Caiyu also asked, "If we throw her out on the street, wouldn't that be too easy for her?"
Leng Feng said coldly: "Throw it away."
Fu Jiang suggested: "If you ask me, this bitch wants to destroy the relationship between His Highness and the Princess, and she says she can serve others, then send her to a place she wants to go."
"Who wants to destroy the relationship between His Highness and the Princess?" Eunuch Song walked over quickly.
"This is what happened..." Fu Hu explained the situation in a babble.
Eunuch Song sneered: "We have a solution. Send her to a beggar's den."
The late emperor favored this young couple, and no one can destroy their relationship!
"Yes." Leng Feng and others left after receiving the order.
--
The next morning.
During breakfast, Yan Funing took out the modified blueprint for the powerful crossbow, which she had revised several times last night, and instructed Li Xinheng, "Xinheng, first go to Prince Cheng's mansion and give this blueprint to my cousin. Then, take him and the blueprint to East Third Street to find Tong Cheng. Time is short and the task is heavy, so they should do as much as they can."
"Yes, Princess."
Li Xinheng took the drawing, put it close to his body, and left quickly.
Fu Ciyi quickly finished his breakfast and said, "I'm going to the Ministry of War."
He needs to see if anyone recommends themselves after the news spread yesterday.
"Okay." Yan Funing agreed naturally.
Just as Fu Ciyi stood up and left the dining room, he was met by two people. These two people were none other than Yan Honghou and Yan Bojian, whom the couple had mentioned last night.
Seeing that they came so early, perhaps they had not yet had breakfast, he took them into the dining room.
"Brothers, have you had breakfast?" Yan Funing asked the maid to bring the dishes and chopsticks while inviting the two brothers to sit down.
"I have eaten, but I was in a hurry to come here, so I didn't eat much." Yan Xinghe said frankly with a smile, picking up his chopsticks, "You can eat more."
Yan Honghou glanced at his second brother and said directly to Fu Ciyi: "Brother-in-law, I can go to the battle."
Yan Xinghe quickly put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Brother-in-law, me too."
Fu Ciyi nodded and said hello.
Just as he finished speaking, a not-so-loud voice came from outside the house: "And me."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Jin Lingcen arriving with Pang Anmeng.
Because Pang Anmeng was pregnant, the couple walked slowly.
Yan Funing quickly stood up to greet them: "Why are you here?"
"She wants to go to the war, but I won't let her." Jin Lingcen raised his chin and pointed at his wife, who was supporting him. "But I can. I'll come here early. She must come with me."
