Seeing that Concubine Ling remained silent, Eunuch De continued, "Concubine Ling, although you are obsessed with profit, you are also a very intelligent person. If the Emperor were your biological son today and His Royal Highness Prince Li were victorious, do you think Prince Li would let you, the rebellious Concubine, go free?"
But even now, after the civil strife has ended, the Emperor hasn't touched a hair on your head. This is the greatest kindness the Emperor has shown you. Concubine Ling, stop while you're ahead. Don't follow the Empress Dowager's lead and live a life worse than death!
Originally, the emperor was going to spare the life of His Royal Highness Prince Li, but Wu Da, the governor of Xuzhou, betrayed His Royal Highness Prince Li for his own future and official position. Not only did he betray him, but after His Royal Highness Prince Li was captured, in order to prevent Prince Li from saying bad things about him in front of the emperor, he angered His Royal Highness Prince Li to death.
King Li died with his eyes wide open, staring at him, so he simply gouged out one of King Li's eyes."
"What did you say?" Ling Yingzhen's originally pale face instantly turned an abnormal red, and she asked with gritted teeth.
"I believe Concubine Ling has heard it, so I won't elaborate here. When I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Li had died, Wu Da's sneer at him was reflected in my eyes. I know that Concubine Ling will be heartbroken over the loss of His Royal Highness Prince Li, so the Emperor has specially ordered me to hand Wu Da over to you for disposal.
"Concubine Ling, the Emperor is a man of great compassion and kindness. Treating you this way, repaying evil with kindness, is the utmost that the Emperor can do. Now you are just a concubine who has passed away in the deep palace, without any power to speak of. I hope you can take care of yourself."
"The body of His Royal Highness Prince Li has been transported to your palace, and Wu Da has also been sent there. The Emperor will never see you again, so go!"
With the help of the palace maid, Concubine Ling stumbled away.
"Almost all enemies that pose a threat to us in South Vietnam have been eliminated. Let's take my second and third brothers to the palace. And Mi Xue, I miss them."
Qian Yeming smiled and took Baili Xiao's hand, saying, "What's the difficulty? Let's go find them now and ask them to come back to the palace with us."
"Okay! Let's go when the rain stops."
It has been hot for ten whole days, and once the rain comes, it will be like a devastating force.
Looking at the water droplets that fell on the ground and merged with other raindrops into a stream of water, Qian Yeming said, "I remember when we first got married, my father gave me a task and asked me to come up with a plan to govern Linjiang City and Huacheng. I told you at that time that you told me there was a way to dig through the mountains in Huacheng.
Now that I'm the emperor myself, I worry every time I see such heavy rain. With such heavy rain, many people's houses will leak. And since it's near the river, the impact is already huge. If we encounter another downpour like this, flooding is sure to happen.
Xiao'er, how much explosives do we have left?"
"Don't worry. I made a lot of explosives to deal with Murong Yan's bomb. It wouldn't take even one percent of that to blow up a mountain."
Qian Yeming was shocked: "Did you use all that sulfur and saltpeter to make bombs?"
When they discovered sulfur and saltpeter in the mountains 200 miles from Fengyang, Xiao'er asked him to find a group of people to secretly make bombs, and promised him that there would be enough stock if he needed it.
I didn’t expect that this batch of things could produce so many bombs.
"Wasn't I afraid that Murong Yan would make a more powerful bomb? I can't match her in quality, but I can definitely beat her in quantity!"
"Since there are still so many bombs, why don't we..." Qian Yeming expressed his thoughts.
Baili Xiao's eyes lit up after hearing this and he said, "Okay. Then tell your men to do it immediately."
Qian Yeming smiled. "In that case, I'll have people formulate and implement a specific plan in the next few days. If the water from the Linjiang River can irrigate Huacheng, it will also fulfill one of my wishes."
"Since I promised you to help you complete this task, I will definitely do it."
