Compared to Wei Yinshuang's plight, Wei Xuelin was more concerned about another issue.
"Shuang'er, do you know what Bei Li needs so much sulfur for?"
Wei Yingshuang was still angry at Wei Xuelin for his indifference towards her, and her tone became harsh, "I'm just a bird locked in a room by the loyalist king, how would I know what they want sulfur for?"
Wei Xuelin sensed the displeasure in Wei Yingshuang's words, clapped his hands, and a servant brought in a box.
"Shuang'er, don't be angry. It's not that your brother doesn't want to take you back to Da Chu, it's just that you're much better off in Bei Li than back in Da Chu."
In Bei Li, you are the Princess Consort of Qin. If you return to Da Chu, even to a place where no one knows you, you will go from being a dignified princess to a commoner. Are you willing to accept that?
This is the silver, jewelry, cosmetics, and various brocades that your father asked me to bring you. Once you've made some beautiful clothes for you, with Shuang'er's looks, I'm not afraid the King of Qin won't fall at your feet.
After saying that, Wei Xuelin opened the box.
Looking at the box of jewelry, Wei Yinshuang felt a little better.
"But Third Brother, I'm suffering terribly in Bei Li." Thinking of this, Wei Yingshuang's eyes reddened again.
"Shuang'er, don't rush." Wei Xuelin suddenly lowered his voice. "Once the Emperor has secured his position and eliminated Xiao Yanchu and the Su family, we will be in charge of Great Chu. At that time, I will come and bring you back to Great Chu. Then you can return to Great Chu as a princess with dignity, and let's see who dares to say anything then."
"Is what Third Brother said true?" Wei Yingshuang asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Of course it's true. You should stay in Bei Li for now and gather some intelligence about Bei Li to send back to Da Chu. Once the Emperor truly takes power, he will definitely send troops to take down Bei Li."
"At that time, you will be a great hero of the Great Chu, becoming the eldest princess of our Great Chu, and returning home in glory."
Wei Xuelin described the bright future to Wei Yinshuang.
To become the eldest princess of the Great Chu?
Wouldn't that make her just like the Goddess of Northern Li?
Yes, once Xiao Yanchu and the Su family are eliminated, won't the Great Chu become the Wei family's?
Thinking of this, Wei Yingshuang was no longer upset and said softly, "Then I'll listen to Third Brother."
"Well, you should first try to figure out what Bei Li needs so much sulfur for."
Generally speaking, sulfur is mostly used in the production of fireworks and firecrackers, the refining of elixirs, or by some doctors to treat diseases, and by some farmers to kill insects.
But the Northern Li is different from the Great Chu; they don't like to set off fireworks during festivals. They don't grow anything, so they certainly wouldn't use it to kill insects. Could it be used for medicinal purposes? But even for medicinal purposes, you wouldn't need so much sulfur.
There's a recent epidemic in Beili, but Wei Xuelin himself got vaccinated against smallpox and didn't seem to need to use sulfur.
Anyway, he just felt something was off and wanted to figure it out to be on the safe side.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to find out."
When Lin Wanqing heard that Wei Xuelin had come to deliver sulfur, she thought for a moment and said to the palace servants, "Go and let Wei Xuelin come into the palace to see me."
Wei Xuelin quickly entered the palace and was somewhat surprised to see Lin Wanqing's current appearance.
