The Crown Prince's residence actually had green vegetables to eat in the middle of winter. Although they were shriveled and not very fresh, they were many times better than the vegetables that were stored in the cellar.
It was really good to be born in the royal family. In such weather, fresh vegetables were more precious than gold.
There were four people around the hotpot. It was a familiar scene. When he was in Qing 'an Prefecture, two members of the royal family often came here to freeload. This time, they could finally freeload.
The little princess refused to say anything about returning to the palace earlier. She carefully blew on the meat roll that had just been scooped out. After dipping it in the unique ingredients, she put it into her mouth unhurriedly with a satisfied expression on her face.
"Why did you come to the capital?" MIngzhu looked at him and asked.
"I have something to do. I will leave in a few days." Li Yi put some cooked vegetables in his bowl with serving chopsticks and answered casually.
Li Xuan had already asked this question once. It was quite complicated to explain. He was too lazy to explain it to her. It was more important to finish the meal and go home earlier.
MIngzhu said again, "Tianfa has been used in the army. We will know how powerful it is in a few days."
Li Yi had no interest in Heaven's Punishment at all. She felt a little depressed in her heart. She was a princess of a country. What was the point of paying attention to these things all day long? Moreover, she had already seen the power of that thing. There was no doubt that in this era of cold weapons, whichever country the Jing State used gunpowder to deal with, that country would be out of luck.
"What is Tianfa?" Li Yi was not interested. Someone else was interested. Li Xuan pricked up his ears and asked with a gossipy face.
"You will know in a few days." Li Yi scooped out the last piece of cooked meat roll from the pot, which made the little girl opposite him look at him angrily.
The matter of Tian Fa couldn't be kept a secret. Half a month later, the Jing Kingdom would win a great victory, and the army would return to the capital. Then, everyone would know about this peerless weapon that they had used to besiege the enemy.
"Once Tianfa makes a great contribution, my father will definitely reward you heavily." MIngzhu continued.
"What?" Li Yi stopped what he was doing. He looked up at her and asked, "Why are you rewarding me?"
Then he realized something. He pointed at her angrily and said, "You didn't keep your promise!"
"Not me." MIngzhu shook her head and said: "I only found out about it later, but Imperial Father never sent anyone to find you. You should know how much he values you."
Li Yi's mood immediately fell to the bottom of the valley. He had thought that the old emperor, who was so busy every day, would have long forgotten who he was. However, with something like gunpowder, no matter how stupid or muddle-headed he was, he would not pretend that he did not know.
It seemed that he couldn't underestimate the highest authority in this country. God knew if there were any special agents or spies around him. He had to be careful in the future.
The most depressing thing was that he couldn't figure out what he was thinking at all. Even if he were the emperor, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing. Even if he were the emperor, he wouldn't be able to do so.
If he couldn't figure it out, he would just stop thinking about it. He would deal with it when it came. What he needed to do now was to fill his stomach.
"Hmph, Imperial Father won't reward him!" The little girl snorted coldly. Obviously, she was still brooding over the fact that she didn't snatch Li Yi's meat.
"What exactly is Tianfa?" Li Xuan looked at the two of them in confusion. He felt as if his heart was being scratched by hundreds of claws.
"Don't ask so much." Li Yi glanced at him and said: "You will know when it's time to know."
Seeing that both Li Yi and MIngzhu remained silent on this matter, Li Xuan nodded as if he understood. He really didn't ask any more questions.
The knife skills of the chef in the Crown Prince's Residence were obviously miles apart from Ruyi. The meat roll was not so thin and needed to be cooked for a long time in the pot. Just as Li Yi and the little girl were fighting for the meat, in a spacious hall in the Li family, the old mistress frowned. She looked at Li Mingze who had just returned from court and said: "Is the Chen family really going to kill us?"
"The impeachment is a small matter. It's all groundless rumors. There's no need to worry. However, the impeachers are all close relatives of the Chen family. They must have been instructed by the Public House," Li Mingze said thoughtfully.
"All these years, although the Chen family and the Li family have been in constant conflict, they have never brought this matter to the table. Why …"
Li Mingze was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Madam Fang.
"What else could it be? Twenty years ago, we made the Chen family lose face. Two days ago, we beat up the Chen family's young master and protected the He family. If it was anyone else, they would not let it go." Madam Fang said angrily: "At that time, I told you not to interfere with the He family's matters. You didn't listen. Now, the Chen family has started to make a move. How are we going to fight them?"
The old mistress did not say a word. Although Madam Fang's words were harsh, it was also the crux of the problem.
Li Mingze's face did not show any signs of nervousness. Which official had not experienced impeachment before? The Chen family's little tricks did not affect him much. At that moment, he thought of something and said: "The Third Lady of the Chen family seems to have contracted a serious illness. After the court session, the Emperor specially sent the royal doctor over. Could it be because of this …"
"What a sin!" The old mistress's mind flashed with the image of a young girl with a bright smile. She let out a long sigh and walked out with the help of her walking stick.
…
…
"A heart disease needs medicine to cure it. Third Miss's heart disease is not something that can be cured by medicine. I can only write a prescription for her to calm her mind. Lord Chen, you must remember to not let Third Miss suffer any more agitation." Imperial Physician Liu Jimin walked out of the room and cupped his fists towards the middle-aged man who was waiting outside the door.
"In that case, I thank Imperial Physician Liu." Chen Qing cupped his hands and thanked him.
"Official Chen is too polite."
After sending off Imperial Physician Liu, Chen Qing stood in front of his sister's room. Thinking of her haggard appearance, he sighed and did not push the door open to enter.
"Big Brother, what did Imperial Physician Liu say?" Chen Chong walked over and asked with concern.
Chen Qing shook his head.
Chen Chong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "That Li Minghan died too early. If he was still alive, I would definitely let him have a taste of living a life worse than death."
Chen Qing knew that he doted on his third sister since young. He looked at him and said: "The impeachment of Li Mingze was all arranged by you, right?"
Chen Chong did not answer.
Chen Qing sighed and said: "As the dignified Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, a few impeachments did not have much effect. In the imperial court, there are many people who are on good terms with the Li family. What you want to do is not so easy."
"Are you going to let Third Sister's death be avenged?" Chen Chong's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and said.
