You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"Good, good! The Queen really has the demeanor of a queen mother, and she knows the big picture! I like her very much!"

Zhu Yunhao couldn't help but praise Du Qingwan a few more words, and ripples had already appeared in his heart.

His sight suddenly turned to Wang Jingyun and he said with a smile:

"Wang Jingyun, I appreciate your contribution to the production of refined salt and refined sugar. I will reinstate you immediately! Haha..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Jingyun had been waiting with great trepidation for Zhu Yunhao to pardon the entire Shangshu Mansion. Now that his wait had finally come, he naturally did not hesitate and immediately bowed his head to express his gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I have a few weapon blueprints here.

This is called a laser gun, and this is a mortar.

If we in Daye can make these weapons, we won’t have to worry about not being able to conquer the Thirteen Prefectures of Youyun in the Northern Kingdom.”

Seeing Wang Jingyun preparing to leave, Du Qingwan quickly took out the drawings of the laser and mortar from her arms and handed them to Zhu Yunhao, with a slight smile on her lips.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhao burst into laughter:

"Haha! Queen, I really didn't expect that you actually possess such a genius. It is truly an honor for Daye!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. It is just a small favor from me."

Du Qingwan didn't dare to be too ostentatious and just smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, Zhu Yunhao looked at her with eyes that seemed to like her more and more.

He glanced at the drawings, quickly handed them to Wang Jingyun, and said cheerfully:

"Minister Wang, take these blueprints back to the Ministry of War and make a sample overnight to show me its power."

“If these rare weapons are really as the Queen said, then I will order the Ministry of Industry to produce them in large quantities.

In this way, it is inevitable that Daye will unify the world!"

Wang Jingyun served as the Minister of Works for many years. Because his son was held hostage, the entire royal family was almost executed.

Now he has made meritorious service by redeeming himself and finally resolved the crisis in the palace.

Seeing that he was about to get another chance to make a contribution, Wang Jingyun was naturally very happy.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will arrange it right away! It won't be long before Daye unifies the world!"

"Ha ha……"

After Wang Jingyun finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yunhao and they burst into laughter together.

Du Zhirou was so angry that her eyes were blurry. She quietly winked at the new maid Bier, pretending to be uncomfortable.

"Empress Rou, are you okay? You have caught a cold recently and haven't recovered yet. I will help you back to the palace first."

Bier understood immediately and hurried forward to support Du Zhirou, looking very nervous.

Of course, Cui'er's teaching was a good one.

"Your Majesty, I am indeed feeling a little unwell. I will return to the palace first."

Du Zhirou raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, pretending to be in great pain, but she hated Du Qingwan in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhao naturally did not refuse and agreed immediately.

"Okay, Concubine Rou, you go back to the palace first. If Bi'er can't serve you well, I will order someone to release Zhao'er and let her serve you.

When I'm done with my work, I'll come to see you in a bit. Be good."

Zhu Yunhao had never treated Du Zhirou like this in front of Du Qingwan. It was hard to say whether he was deliberately showing off his affection or if he had always been like this.

In short, after Du Qingwan saw it, she not only did not feel jealous at all, but two big words appeared in her mind---

Scumbag!

On second thought, emperors have always been heartless since ancient times.

It is normal for Zhu Yunhao to behave like this.

"Your Majesty, I have things to do, so I will return to the palace first.

When Minister Wang builds the laser gun and mortar, I will come back to accompany you to appreciate their power."

Seeing Du Zhirou leave, Du Qingwan didn't want to be alone with Zhu Yunhao, so she made an excuse to leave.

Zhu Yunhao was naturally too embarrassed to ask for her to stay, so he nodded awkwardly:

"Okay. Take care, Queen."

Seven days later

Wang Jingyun concentrated all his strength and finally made a laser musket and mortar that were exactly the same as the blueprint.

Hundreds of civil and military officials and concubines from various palaces who heard the news had been waiting outside the Qianqing Palace early, forming a huge crowd.

"Empress Dowager, I heard that the Emperor will be outside the palace today to personally inspect the latest weapons made by the Ministry of Works.

It seems that the new weapon was invented by the Queen!

I didn’t expect that the Queen is so amazing…”

Xiaolian walked up to Empress Dowager Qiao carrying a bowl of lotus seed soup, her face full of unconcealable joy and excitement.

When talking about Du Qingwan's recent rare inventions, Xiaolian is always very excited and counts the days on her fingers to see them first.

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Qiao's face immediately turned gloomy.

He coughed twice, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Xiaolian, calmly:

"Lian'er, what did I tell you before? Have you forgotten it so quickly?"

"The queen is the master of the harem, you servants should not always be talking about the queen.

If the emperor heard this, there would be a lot of trouble. Everyone still thinks that the queen has the final say in Daye!"

Queen Mother Qiao's meaning is very clear---

She was simply worried that Du Qingwan would become more powerful than her master.

Xiaolian was not very smart. She was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted quickly, with fear and trepidation on her face.

"Her Majesty the Queen, please spare me! I only admire the Queen and have no intention of offending the Emperor or you!"

The moment he spoke, Xiaolian fell to her knees, begging for mercy in a frightened and crying voice.

Empress Dowager Qiao had no intention of punishing Xiaolian. She said that just now just to scare her.

"Get up. Help me to go to the Qianqing Palace. I really want to see what kind of rare weapon the Queen invented."

"Yes, Queen Mother. Please be careful."

Soon, Xiaolian and Nanny Tian supported Queen Mother Qiao and came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace.

Worried that Empress Dowager Qiao's legs would get numb if she stood, Xiaolian thoughtfully found a chair for her to sit on.

Except for Zhu Yunhao and Queen Mother Qiao, no one else had a seat at the scene.

Perhaps because she was worried that bullets would not have eyes, Du Qingwan did not allow any other obstacles to be placed at the scene.

Including herself, Du Qingwan chose to stand and watch.

"Empress, the laser guns and mortars are ready. Can I have a sneak peek now?"

"This is the high-end weapon that helped Daye win the war. Look at these court officials, who wouldn't be tempted to use it?"

Seeing that Du Qingwan had not issued any orders to test the weapons, Zhu Yunhao suddenly became a little anxious.

He couldn't wait to personally experience the power of the laser musket and mortar.

Du Qingwan couldn't help but smile complacently when she heard this, and said confidently:

"In that case, Minister Wang, let's get started!"

"Wait!"

At this moment, a man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, strode up to Wang Jingyun, reached out and snatched the laser musket from Wang Jingyun's hand, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing an ambiguous smile.

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude?"

Wang Jingyun was anxious to try out the laser musket, and even more anxious to make a contribution.

The laser rifle in his hand was taken away by an unknown man, so he was naturally very angry, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The strange man ignored Wang Jingyun and turned to face Du Qingwan, who was full of surprise, and said with a half-smile:

"You are Du Qingwan, right? You are a fake queen who married in place of me, but you actually stole my blueprints and gave them to the Ministry of Works to make them in order to show off your abilities."

"If I had come a step later, I'm afraid all the achievements would have been taken by you, right?"

The strange man finished his words proudly, completely ignoring Du Qingwan and walked straight to Zhu Yunhao.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked and their eyes involuntarily turned to Du Qingwan.
