When Xue Yan received the prosthetic limb made by Shen Xu, he was still shocked.
He originally thought that he had torn his face with Song Lin. That night, Shen Xu did not stay to take care of him. He had already lost and would never have the chance to get close to her again.
But she personally designed and made the pair of prosthetic limbs for him. As an apology, Song Lin personally delivered the things to him, which made Xue Yan's decadent mind excited again.
"Military Advisor Xue, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive that night." At this time, Young Master Song was in high spirits and generously moved the box containing the prosthetic limb to Xue Yan's house.
"However, Military Advisor Xue, please stop making ambiguous remarks that will cause unnecessary misunderstandings, lest someone think they really have an opportunity and take the opportunity to approach and harass my Xiuxiu.
I know that my Xiuxiu is excellent in all aspects, especially when it comes to relationships, she has always been loyal and serious.
There is nothing wrong in pursuing someone you like, but it is shameful to use some unpresentable means and still fail to get the love you want.
Military Advisor Xue should let go as soon as possible and stop being so obsessed with being a male concubine."
Xue Yan listened to him giving his victory speech with a dark face. The smug look on his face made him want to stand up and punch Song Lin back.
However, he always had a smile as gentle as jade on his face. He could lose the battle and lose face, but his demeanor and momentum could not be reduced.
"This was made for me personally by the female minister?"
"Xiu Xiu said that I was the one who started it first, so I was wrong after all. So she prepared this gift for me and came to apologize to the military advisor." Song Lin deliberately emphasized that it was his wife who prepared this gift for him as an apology.
Seeing Xue Yan forcing a smile, Song Lin felt inexplicably happy.
Originally, when Shen Xu made this prosthetic limb, he was very unhappy.
When Shen Xu asked him to come in person to deliver it to Xue Yan and apologize, he didn't understand her intention at all, and it was only after she coaxed him into coming.
At this moment, Master Song was so happy that his heart was flying.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
Xue Yan frowned slightly and opened the box, only to see a very finely crafted mechanical prosthesis lying in the box.
"Miss Nuxiang is really thoughtful."
He examined the prosthetic limb carefully, stroking the finely polished matte metal surface of the leg with his hand.
The leg and foot lines are made of cool mirrored metal trims, the ankle joints are movable joint bearings, which are made very precisely, and there is also a height-adjustable device at the heel.
The connection between the broken limbs is made of very flexible soft leather material, which reduces the wear and tear between the real leg and the prosthesis, and does not cause pain or discomfort after wearing it for a long time.
Whether it is the design or the selection of materials, everything speaks of the excellence and care put into this equipment.
At this time, Xue Yu also walked in. She was afraid that Song Lin would come to cause trouble again, so she was very nervous and alert to him.
Xue Yan lifted up his empty trouser leg, revealing his severed calf, and put on the prosthesis to try it out.
Xue Yan tried to move his legs, and saw that the sole of the prosthetic foot also moved. There must be some device that could drive the movement of the mechanical foot as the muscles of the original limb pulled it.
"Miss Nuxiang's hands are really skillful, very suitable." He stood up carefully and took two steps slowly. Although he was not used to it, he liked the feeling of talking to people while standing.
"Brother, it feels like a real leg." Xue Yu watched him put on the prosthetic limb and saw that the mechanical ankle joint could move. He said excitedly, "You can walk now."
"Yeah." Xue Yan walked around the wheelchair with a little excitement, and suddenly saw that there was something under the box containing the prosthetic limb.
He bent down and picked up a set of blueprints from the bottom of the box. They showed the various components of the prosthetic limb, diagrams of its installation and adjustment, its operating principles, and some dimensions and material selection.
Xue Yan flipped through it carefully, and he admired Shen Xu in his heart. He didn't know why a princess of Yanyang Country could study these things so thoroughly.
The power crossbow and the rock climbing unit had already opened his eyes.
And this mechanical prosthesis is simply a show of skill.
Xue Yan turned to the last page of the blueprint book, where two short lines of words were written:
Xue Yan, your grace and wisdom will take you to a higher position, enough for you to call the shots in Haoyue Kingdom.
All I can do is take off your mask and let you stand up as Xue Yan.
"Haha~ Miss Nuxiang is really a lovely person. No wonder Pei Zhiyuan is so obedient to her." Xue Yan held the drawing in his hands, looked at the neat cursive script on the paper, and tears filled his eyes.
Song Lin frowned, staring at the glittering prosthetic limb, and became jealous again.
Xiuxiu put so much effort into what she made for him. Doesn’t this give Xue Yanxiao another motivation to covet her?
He has legs now and can even stand up and walk a few steps!
Song Lin felt that he had lost again. His Xiuxiu was affectionate with him and coaxed him softly, just because she wanted to make the prosthetic limb for Xue Yan and didn't want him to cause trouble for Xue Yan.
At this time, an attendant came to report, "Military Advisor, General Xue, the female prime minister invites you to the hall for a meeting."
Song Lin hurriedly entered the meeting hall of the government office with the Xue brothers and sisters.
Shen Xu was seen sitting at the edge of a round table. Also sitting at the table were Pei Zhiyuan and several important generals of the royal army, as well as officials from nearby prefectures and several officials from the capital who had rushed over overnight.
Seeing Xue Yan walk in wearing the prosthetic limb she gave him, Shen Xu looked at him with satisfaction, "You're here."
"Xiu Xiu." Song Lin hurriedly walked to her side.
"Yeah." Shen Xu smiled at him gently and let him sit next to him.
"Mister Female Prime Minister." Xue Yan bowed respectfully to Shen Xu, "Thank you very much for personally making a prosthetic limb for me. It works very well."
"It's good that you can stand up, because there is a very important matter next that I need you to discuss." Shen Xu pushed the scroll in his hand out and spread the painting on the round table.
Everyone gathered around to look at it. It was a map, and on it were clearly drawn the borders of the northwest of Yanyang Kingdom, the east of Beihai Kingdom, and the southwest of Haoyue Kingdom.
At the junction of the three countries, there is a small lake with an isolated island in the center. Apart from the towering mountains, there are almost no cities or fortresses on the island.
Chen Xu held a thin stick in his hand and pointed to a cliff on the border between Yanyang Kingdom and Haoyue Kingdom, saying, "In less than ten days, Yanyang, Beihai, and Haoyue Kingdom will negotiate on the cliff corridor between Jiangling Prefecture and Xiling City over the ownership of the Tianxin Lake gold mine.
As early as three months ago, Lord Pei and I intercepted a secret report from the Beihai Kingdom to an official of our Haoyue Kingdom, saying that they wanted to unite with them to launch a surprise attack on the Yanyang Kingdom, thereby provoking disputes, taking the opportunity to disrupt the negotiations on the ownership of the gold mine, and triggering a war.
What we need to do is to negotiate the ownership of this gold mine and crush the North Sea people's conspiracy."
