After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Who are you? You are the famous Miss Linglong."

Everyone was very interested and gathered around.

"This is called a crossbow. It was invented by the ancient Master Lu. The version I drew is a slightly improved one."

Linglong explained as she painted.

The earliest crossbows could only shoot one arrow at a time, but the one she drew could shoot three at a time.

It is also smaller and can be tied directly on the wrist.

The woman's wide sleeves covered it, and it couldn't be seen.

Yang Liu is more experienced. "This one is good. The previous ones were very heavy. This one is more suitable for self-defense."

Shen Yunjin looked at the drawings and thought they were good.

"I'll let the prince do it later, and I'll give you one too."

"I don't want it. You might as well ask the prince and the others to give me some of the medicinal herbs in the forest."

"Or, you can draw a picture of the herbs you want and give it to Mo Yi. If they find something similar, they can bring it back to you."

"Your idea is good. I'll go back and sort it out."

After saying that, Linglong left in a hurry.

"As long as it comes to medicinal herbs, she can ignore everything."

"So, even though she's so young, her medical skills are better than many old doctors."

As soon as Shen Yunjin said this, everyone agreed.

In the evening, Xiao Minshen also looked at the pictures drawn by Linglong.

"That's good. I was thinking that before, the knife is too big and inconvenient, and women are weak, so it won't work."

"The dagger is small, but it is only suitable for close combat. If you encounter someone with a much greater strength than you, you will be restrained."

"This is more suitable for self-defense. I'll ask Mo Yi to take it and ask the master to make a few for me."

"Your Highness, you don't know that now each of them wishes they could become the Iron Lady."

"I was scared of what happened last time, and I don't want it to happen again."

Xiao Minshen said with a gloomy face.

Since the Emperor's birthday, his health has been getting worse day by day.

Now the Crown Prince and the Emperor attend court at the same time.

For many state affairs, the emperor would first ask the prince for his opinion and then give his suggestions.

This clearly shows that the emperor is ready to delegate power.

What’s even more interesting is that the Fourth Prince recommended a real person to the Emperor.

The emperor began to follow the Taoist priest and seek the Taoist secret of immortality.

The prince who has returned to the court is now decisive in killing.

It has the implication of "if gods stand in the way, gods will be killed; if Buddha stands in the way, Buddha will be killed."

The court officials who previously stood on the side of the Second Prince began to get into trouble one after another.

The censors would find court officials to impeach every day.

Even if a relative more than a few generations away committed a crime, he would be brought to the court and impeached.

Once impeached, one will be demoted or dismissed from office.

Suddenly, the daily morning court session became a silent meeting.

No one knows when the fire will burn their own head.

Even the court officials who had previously supported the prince remained silent.

Xiao Minshen also couldn't understand what the prince wanted to do.

What is even more confusing is how the emperor, who was previously very wise, could allow the prince to torment the court officials like this?

Is it true that cultivating immortality and seeking immortality are more important than the country and the people?

He always has a sense of crisis that a storm is about to come.

"Master, the lady sent a message saying that she is sick and misses you, and wants you to go back to see her."

Jinzhi looked unhappy.

"Master, you are still pregnant with the little master, don't go back."

"Silly Jinzhi, your master must go back."

If Mrs. Shen fell ill and sent someone to tell Shen Yunjin that she missed him, and Shen Yunjin did not go back, he would be accused of being unfilial.

A few days ago, Xiao Minshen told her that the situation in the court was changing rapidly.

At this time, we cannot make mistakes easily.

If relatives of court officials other than those within a few generations committed a crime, they would be impeached by the censor.

If she was rumored to be unfilial, Xiao Minshen would definitely be criticized by everyone.

"But, you are like this now?"

"It's okay, we'll go back after lunch and stay for a while, then we'll be back."

Fortunately, she is pregnant now, otherwise, if Mrs. Shen asked her to go back to take care of her, she would not be able to refuse.

She touched her belly and thought that this child was truly her lucky star.

After lunch, Shen Yunjin took Yang Liu and Jinzhi and got on the carriage.

Shen Yunjin hadn't left the house for a while, and now she noticed that people on the street were in a hurry.

The doors of several wealthy families nearby were all closed.

Only a few servants and old women were seen occasionally entering and exiting through the side door.

The carriage moved slowly along the street. Yang Liu opened the curtain a little and looked outside secretly.

"My lady, there are many people ahead, and the carriage can't pass."

"What's wrong?" Jinzhi asked.

"It seemed like something happened. A lot of people gathered around to watch, blocking the street."

"I'll go and take a look." Jinzhi prepared to get off the car.

Shen Yunjin stopped her, "No need. Just walk slowly."

Even if they were just onlookers, they would still give way to the Qi Wang Mansion's carriage when it arrived, but they would just go slower.

If there are too many people, Jinzhi will be squeezed away and it will waste time.

"Your Majesty, the princess's palace is ahead." Yang Liu said softly.

Shen Yunjin leaned on the pillow and glanced out the window when he heard the words.

Indeed, this street is now the road in front of the princess's mansion.

"Those people are all surrounding the princess's mansion. My lady, I'll go down and take a look." Yang Liu felt itchy.

"No, you have to protect the master. I'll go down." Jinzhi stopped her.

"Stop arguing and just stay in the carriage." Shen Yunjin looked at the two of them sternly.

The carriage was moving forward at a snail's pace, and there were people standing beside it.

Yang Liu and Jin Zhi started to get nervous, and they stood on each side guarding Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin listened attentively to the discussion outside.

"It's really strange. I've always heard women complaining about being abandoned by men. This is the first time I've heard a man complaining about being abandoned by a woman."

"Hey, two men fighting over one woman, that's exciting."

"If it were up to you, I'd let the two of them fight, and whoever wins gets the girl."

"Then the crying man must be no good. He looks so weak. Look at the guy on the other side. He's full of muscles. One punch could kill him."

"Who is that woman that two men are fighting over? She might not be the top girl in that brothel."

"Be careful what you say. That's a princess. I might chop off the heads of your whole family."

The person in front immediately fell silent.

It turned out to be the melon from the princess’s mansion!

"My queen, that looks like my eldest brother-in-law." Jinzhi pointed at a man in front of the princess's mansion.

Shen Yunjin looked outside and saw that it was indeed Zhao Jingyan.

The back of this person is so familiar that even if it is painted in gray, she can still recognize it.

Princess Anyang looked at Zhao Jingyan with interest, "Did you hear what they said? Fight him, and I will follow you if you win."

Zhao Jingyan's face was pale and his thin body was shaking.

"Anyang, I am your husband. People say that a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Don't you remember the love between us?"
