She didn't care whether Chu Xuan was leaving or not, she just pulled Cheng Ruoxue and took out the blueprint from her sleeve: "Sister Cheng, you have been through many battles, can you tell what this blueprint is?"

Cheng Ruoxue took the drawing and looked at it for a while with a frown.

"This is a new type of cannon. I have never seen a cannon like this. If it is really made according to the style on the drawing, I am afraid it will be very powerful."

Hearing the words "new type of artillery", Chu Xuan became excited and came forward to look at the drawings.

He frowned and said softly, "The weakness of our soldiers is that they are strong in close combat but weak in long-range combat. If Beiyan really produces this new type of artillery on a large scale, I'm afraid we will suffer a great loss. This is designed for our Tianji country!"

As it involved military matters, Chu Xuan didn’t want to say more and pulled Lu Yanluo back to the palace.

After the two entered the study, Chu Xuan dismissed his attendants and closed the door.

"A Luo, this is a serious matter. Let me think of a solution."

Chu Xuan stared at the drawing, his brows furrowed, his thoughts in a tangled mess.

On the contrary, Lu Yanluo felt that this was an exaggeration: "It may not be that bad, right?"

She looked at the blueprint and said easily, "In my hometown, no one uses this kind of powerful cannon as a weapon because it is too weak."

"Ah?" Chu Xuan looked up at her.

Lu Yanluo continued, "Because we have a more powerful weapon called the fire gun. In front of the fire gun, even the most powerful cannons are no match."

"etc."

Chu Xuan's focus was biased: "Aren't you the eldest daughter who grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Isn't your hometown the capital? Where do you get other hometowns from?"

Lu Yanluo: “…”

[You are showing off, aren't you! Do you know how to use your brain now? 】

[I am really mad that he is not stupid at the critical moment! 】

[Anyway, I can't tell you the truth. Just trust me, you little country bumpkin prince from the ancient times! Otherwise, I'll slap you and send you out of the house!]

This time it was Chu Xuan's turn to be speechless.

Why not just follow her lead?

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and asked seriously: "Yanluo, are you serious?"

"Of course!" Lu Yanluo said without hesitation.

Chu Xuan nodded, pushed the blueprint into her hands, and said with a smile: "Then do it, I believe in you."

【That’s right! 】

Lu Yanluo took the drawing happily.

[Don't worry, I'm an excellent agent in modern times, and being a fire gun is no problem at all! ]

Chu Xuan looked at her with a smile on his face. When she was about to leave, he pulled her sleeve and said with a smile, "A Luo, don't leave so quickly."

Lu Yanluo turned around cautiously: "What are you going to do?"

Chu Xuan suddenly lifted up the front of his robe, knelt on one knee in front of Lu Yanluo, took out a box from somewhere, and handed it to Lu Yanluo like a treasure.

"A Luo, this is my gift to you."

Lu Yanluo opened the brocade box with half belief and half doubt, inside was a nine-phoenix hairpin and twelve hairpins made of pure gold!

[Oh my god! It's all pure gold. How many kilograms does it weigh in total?]

【Is it a gift for me?】

【Then I will be rich! 】

Chu Xuan listened with satisfaction. It turned out that his wife loved money and was easy to please!

"A Luo, I'm a bastard. I don't ask you to forgive me now, but at least accept these gifts. It's a little compensation from me."

Lu Yanluo was silent.

[A few pieces of gold are enough to compensate me for all the injustices I have endured in this world? ]

[Should I sacrifice my dignity for money? Ahhhh!]

"I'm not giving you these to ask you to give up your dignity for money."

Chu Xuan said seriously: "This is just my apology, Luo."

Lu Yanluo curled her lips: "I can reluctantly start to forgive you, but this is just the beginning, don't even think about pushing it further!"

He took the brocade box away.

【Get rich, get rich~】

Chu Xuan was satisfied. He knew that giving money would definitely not be enough to make up to Lu Yanluo, but at least Lu Yanluo was willing to accept his apology and would forgive him sooner or later!

"master!"

There was a loud noise outside the house and Shen He fell from the sky.

The dog's eyes were immediately blinded by the scene in the house!

Chu Xuan stood up awkwardly and rolled his eyes at him: "Shen He, you are really becoming more and more presumptuous."

"I know I was wrong."

Shen He knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Someone from the palace just now came and said that the Queen Mother is seriously ill and may not survive. The Imperial Hospital has been unable to save her. The Queen Mother has been chanting the princess' name and wants to see her again."

Lu Yanluo's pupils slightly dilated: "What?"

[After crossing over, only the Queen Mother treated me well. How could it be...]

"Take me to the palace!"

Chu Xuan hurriedly prepared the carriage and took Lu Yanluo into the palace, almost running all the way into the Queen Mother's bedroom.

As expected, the Queen Mother was lying on the bed weakly, barely breathing.

Lu Yanluo frowned and stepped forward to feel the empress dowager's pulse.

[The old man is very old, it’s not because of illness, but it’s really impossible to keep him. 】

Hearing this, Chu Xuan felt as if something was being grabbed in his heart.

As if sensing Lu Yanluo's presence, the Queen Mother suddenly came to life, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Lu Yanluo with loving eyes.

"Yanluo, you've lost weight."

Lu Yanluo's heart ached, and she shook her head: "No, Queen Mother, Chu Xuan treats me very well, he is my beloved, he will not let me lose weight."

"Does Chu Xuan really treat you well?" The Queen Mother was so sick that she hadn't eaten for several days, but she was very concerned about this question. "Chu Xuan, do you know what Yanluo likes to eat, drink, and do? If you don't know, I will never rest in peace!"

Lu Yanluo's tears rolled down silently, and she was deeply moved.

[I love to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake and water chestnut cake. I like to play with Yuanyuan and Yaoyao the most. I like to make money and spend money the most.]

[But Chu Xuan couldn't possibly know that only the Queen Mother would care about me. ]

[I’m so sad…]

[I hope Chu Xuan can coax the old lady and not let the Queen Mother die with regrets. ]

Chu Xuan frowned and said softly, "My grandson knows that Yanluo likes sweet-scented osmanthus cake and water chestnut cake the most. She is usually happy when she has money. So, my grandson just gave Yanluo an expensive gift to make her happy!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the Nine-Phoenix Hairpin on Lu Yanluo's head.

She was in such a hurry to enter the palace just now that she didn't have time to put away the Nine Phoenix Hairpin, so Lu Yanluo put it on her head when she entered the palace.

Lu Yanluo quickly smiled and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, Chu Xuan really treats me very well!"

[This big pig's trotter really knows what I like to eat, it's amazing! ]

[Does he understand me so well? ]

But Chu Xuan couldn't be happy in his heart. Seeing the Queen Mother's breathing getting heavier, she finally looked at Chu Xuan with satisfaction: "Okay, this is my good grandson. It's worth it that I have protected you for so many years..."

"Grandmother!"

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother!"

Before the Queen Mother could finish her words, her hands loosened and she passed away.

The only person who was kind to Lu Yanluo passed away.

Lu Yanluo was shaking all over and couldn't help crying: "Empress Dowager..."

When the Queen Mother passed away, she was only thinking about her. Knowing that Chu Xuan treated her well, she left contentedly, and her remains looked very peaceful.

Lu Yanluo could no longer control herself and broke down crying!

No matter how good her medical skills are, she can't save an elderly person!
