Qin Yu wasn't idle either. He rushed back to the study, took out paper and pen, and began sketching.
He is designing a lunchbox with a two-layer structure.
This lunchbox is obviously not for eating.
And it's used to cook noodles!
Simply place a self-heating pack on the bottom layer, add some tap water, and the lunchbox immediately transforms into a steamer, continuously releasing a large amount of heat in a short time to quickly boil the cold water in the upper food container.
At this point, the instant noodles in the upper lunchbox will be boiled, thus saving the step of boiling water.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the blueprint for a self-heating iron lunchbox has already taken shape.
"Xuejian!"
Qin Yu called Xue Jian over, pointed to the drawing that had just been completed on the table, and said, "Take it to the Forging Department and have them make this lunchbox."
Upon seeing this, Xuejian quickly accepted it: "Yes! This subordinate takes his leave!"
The forging division received the blueprints and immediately began to forge them without saying a word, fearing that if they were even a moment too slow, Qin Yu might lose his temper and slaughter their entire clan.
Several hours later, everything was finally completed.
With everything in place, Qin Yu began mixing the self-heating packs in front of everyone.
His actions seemed extremely strange to everyone, but Qin Yu was completely absorbed in studying them without offering any explanation.
Afterward, he finally finished making the heating pack, put it into the metal box, and poured water on it.
Once the heating pack comes into contact with hot water, it immediately starts emitting white smoke, and then slowly heats up.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene.
Qin Yu excitedly urged, "Qingzhu, quickly put the box on, and add instant noodles and water!"
"yes!"
Qingzhu responded, placed the heating pack on the lunchbox, and then poured in cold water as Qin Yu instructed.
But the moment the iron lid was put on, she was accidentally scalded by the steam that came out, and her little hand instantly became red and swollen!
"ah!"
Qingzhu cried out in surprise, her pretty face contorted with pain.
"What's wrong!"
Upon seeing that Qingzhu was injured, Qin Yu quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist to check on her.
It was clear that Qingzhu's slender fingers were red and swollen, and there were even faint traces of blood on the surface of her skin.
Qin Yu frowned and said, "Someone, go and get me some burn ointment!"
"yes."
Anfu, who was standing next to him, responded and immediately ran off to prepare.
Soon, a bottle of burn ointment was brought to Qin Yu. Qin Yu blew on Qingzhu's small hand for a while before gently applying it to her.
This delicate touch made Qingzhu's heart tremble. She had been cultivating in a Taoist temple since childhood and had never known anything about matters between men and women. This was the first time that a man had touched her small hand so delicately.
Qingzhu lowered her head shyly, feeling Qin Yu's warm palm gently stroking her small hand. A strange feeling swept through her whole body, making her delicate body tremble slightly.
Seeing Qin Yu's gentle side made Qingzhu's heart race, her heart pounding wildly.
By this time, the instant noodles were almost boiled.
Qin Yu invited everyone to try it, and the moment the lid was lifted, the aroma filled the entire palace.
Upon smelling the aroma, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, and at the same time, they admired Qin Yu even more.
However, just as they were about to start, they heard footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, Yuzhu appeared at the door, staring in astonishment at the strange food.
Yu Zhu's eyes darted around, and she immediately leaned forward, subtly trying to find out more.
Qingzhu was clever enough to immediately say vaguely, "This is a special delicacy from Longxi, sent by the Empress."
Qin Yu secretly praised the girl for her intelligence, but in order to prevent Yu Zhu from continuing to spy on him, Qin Yu decided to shut her up!
As for what to use to shut her up, Qin Yu certainly knew!
He immediately grabbed Yuzhu, grinned wickedly, and slipped his large hand into her dress: "Hehe, beauty! You've come at just the right time, I've been missing you."
Yu Zhu blushed slightly, broke free from Qin Yu, and wanted to escape as soon as possible, but how could Qin Yu give this spy the chance?
So Qin Yu immediately waved his hand with a smile and said:
"You may all step back. I want to have some fun with my beauty."
Everyone obediently withdrew.
Once only the two of them were left in the room, Qin Yu hugged Yu Zhu and began to move closer.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Yu Zhu tried to push him away in fear, but she was no match for Qin Yu's strength and was pinned down on the bed, completely powerless to resist.
A panicked scream suddenly rang out from inside the room, but it was quickly replaced by a series of whimpering sounds.
Yuzhu's mouth was indeed gagged.
...
Meanwhile, in the Empress's palace.
Zhao Lan summoned Zi Yan and handed her a military ration book.
"This is a detailed list of the military rations needed for an army of 100,000. Give this to the Emperor and let him back down."
A cold smile appeared on Zhao Lan's lips; she had her plan very well done.
If Qin Yu loses, according to the bet, she can make demands!
At that time, she would have Qin Yu issue an imperial decree ordering her father to lead troops to Youzhou to assist in the defense, thus openly and legitimately stabbing Sima Lie in the back.
"yes!"
Zi Yan accepted the order and withdrew. When she arrived in front of Qin Yu's palace, she happened to meet Qing Zhu.
Is the Emperor in the palace?
"Yes, what's wrong? Sister Ziyan..."
Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Empress has something to give to the Emperor."
Upon hearing that it was the Empress who was coming to deliver something, Qingzhu dared not be negligent and hurriedly said respectfully, "Sister Ziyan, I will take you to see the Emperor."
After saying that, she took Ziyan to the study.
On the way, Qingzhu said with a smile, "His Majesty has been very busy these past few days."
"What are you all busy with?" Zi Yan asked curiously.
"Of course it's for the Empress's sake, to prepare military supplies!"
Qingzhu smiled slightly and said with some envy, "Ah, the Emperor really dotes on the Empress. By the way, Sister Ziyan might have to wait a while."
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the door of the Imperial Study.
However, the two of them were both stunned at this moment.
The sacred study room was now tightly closed, and a series of sounds that would make one blush could not be heard, accompanied by the rhythmic clanging of a gong.
It even carried the sound of Yuzhu crying.
Just by listening to that sound, you can imagine what the jade beads inside must look like—they're practically unrecognizable!
Zi Yan blushed deeply with embarrassment and wished she could turn around and leave.
Speechless, he thought to himself that the Empress had gone to great lengths to produce some kind of military ration book in hopes of making this foolish emperor back down.
There's no need for that! This kind of incompetent ruler doesn't need to be made to suffer at all.
After boasting to the empress, this foolish emperor turned around and continued his debauchery and pleasure-seeking!
"Never mind, since His Majesty has other matters to attend to, I won't disturb him any longer."
Thinking of this, Zi Yan blushed, rubbed her forehead, and hurriedly left.
