The little concubine with many children and good fortune wins the harem by doing nothing

At this moment, his hands were shaking with excitement and his breathing was rapid.

The fleeting glimpse he got from the emperor just now was enough to excite him, and now that he looked at her carefully, he was even more shocked.

Because according to the detailed description written by the Imperial Concubine above, it turns out that this repeating crossbow can be manufactured in different sizes.

The small-sized ones can be carried by soldiers, while the large-sized ones can be installed on carriages and can be used for both close combat and long-range combat.

Qinzhou became more and more excited the more he looked at it. He could already imagine how shocking this crossbow would be after it was made.

So excitedly, he quickly took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and carefully broke down each component on the design in order to prepare for the next drawing.

Time passed minute by minute, Qinzhou was fully focused and immersed in his work.

He drew every line and every mark with extreme care.

Before he knew it, night fell and the study was silent except for the occasional sound of Qinzhou's writing and his gentle breathing.

Finally, when he finished the last stroke, he had time to stretch and rub his sore eyes.

He looked at the densely packed drawings in front of him with satisfaction. The drawings showed in detail the structure and principles of the repeating crossbow. As long as he made it according to them, he would surely succeed.

He carefully described each component with his own eyes, as if he was appreciating a fine work of art.

He carefully rolled up the drawing and prepared to take it to the Ministry of Works tomorrow to have the craftsmen make it.

He believed that once this repeating crossbow came out, it would become a magical weapon on the battlefield and shock other countries!

Qinzhou confidently arranged the drawings on the table carefully and in order, then fell asleep with the drawings in his arms.

The housekeeper, Uncle Wu, had been guarding the door of the study, but he did not see his master come out. However, this situation had often occurred before, so Uncle Wu was just worried for a moment and then continued to guard.

The next day, when the time came, Uncle Wu brought his maid and knocked on the door to wake up his master, changed him into court clothes, and helped him wash.

From beginning to end, Qinzhou never put down the drawings in his hands.

It was not until the morning court session when Chu Junze personally told the story of the repeating crossbow designed by the Imperial Concubine that he took the initiative to step forward and begin to explain the wonders of the repeating crossbow.

Hearing this, the generals instantly became energized, their blood boiling with excitement.

Qinzhou talked incessantly about the advantages and potential uses of the repeating crossbow, causing everyone in the court to marvel at him.

Chu Junze was also very pleased and immediately decided to invest a lot of resources to manufacture this new weapon. He also appointed Qinzhou as the person in charge to supervise its production process.

After the court was dismissed, many ministers flocked to Qinzhou to express their appreciation and support for him.

However, in this seemingly smooth situation, some people with ulterior motives began to secretly envy Qinzhou for having the emperor's favor, and planned how to interfere.

Qinzhou was well aware of the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind. He understood that now that he was appreciated by the emperor, it would inevitably arouse the jealousy of some people.

So he just responded politely to the flattery of those officials.

But he was more determined to be cautious in the production process and not leave any handle for anyone.

At the same time, those who secretly envied Qinzhou also began to take action.

One night, Qinzhou's study suddenly caught fire and all the drawings of the crossbow were burned. He was shocked and immediately guessed that someone had deliberately set the fire. But without evidence, he could not identify the murderer.

Fortunately, all this was within Qinzhou's expectations. As for the burned drawings, they were not actually the drawings of the repeating crossbow.

Chu Junze knew about this at the first time, so the two of them cooperated with each other and performed a play very tacitly during the morning court.

It seems that Chu Junze openly reprimanded Qinzhou for his poor performance, but in fact, he secretly gave him the right to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.

So after the court session, Qinzhou and Zhanping began a secret investigation.

After several days of open and secret investigations, they discovered that several strange dark shadows had wandered outside Qinzhou's mansion on the night of the fire.

Following this clue, they tracked it all the way and finally came to a remote house.

The house looked abandoned for a long time, but the two men noticed that there were secret guards lying in ambush around it.

Just as they were thinking about how to get in, a mysterious man quietly appeared and handed them a note that read: "To know the truth, come to the western suburbs woods at midnight tonight."

At midnight, Qinzhou and Zhanping arrived at the woods in the western suburbs as agreed.

Unexpectedly, the person waiting for them was Emperor Chu Junze.

It turned out that all this was a trap set by Chu Junze in order to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.

He had long foreseen that someone was coveting the manufacturing drawings of the repeating crossbow, so he deliberately let Qinzhou release fake drawings and arranged the fire.

And he also sent someone to deliver that mysterious note in order to guide Qinzhou and Zhanping to find the real enemy.

Chu Junze told them that Japan has repeatedly invaded the border, which has made General Lin at the border very annoyed. It seems that the only way to deal with them is to build a repeating crossbow as soon as possible and give them a tough time.

Qinzhou and Zhanping felt that the responsibility was heavy and said they would do their best.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed and decided to continue to lure the enemy deeper into their territory, take advantage of their own tactics, and root out the corrupt officials in the court.

So after the emperor issued an edict to restore Qinzhou's position, he returned to the research and development of the repeating crossbow.

When he returned to the Ministry of Works, he immediately called together the craftsmen to discuss a plan to improve the repeating crossbow. He decided to increase the range and power of the crossbow based on the original design.

At the same time, Zhan Ping was also secretly investigating the trends in the court. He found that some officials had close contacts with Japanese envoys and seemed to be planning some conspiracy.

Just as Qinzhou and Zhanping were preparing intensively, an accident occurred. A craftsman suddenly disappeared, and the manufacturing progress of the repeating crossbow was forced to be interrupted.

Qinzhou realized that it seemed that the enemy could not wait to take action.

So he decided to speed up the action and find out the culprit behind the incident. He sent people to look for the missing craftsman everywhere, but to no avail.

He began to suspect that there was a traitor in the Ministry of Works, so he secretly launched an investigation.

During the investigation, Qinzhou discovered some suspicious clues, all of which pointed to those officials who had close contacts with the Japanese envoys.

In order not to alert the enemy, Qinzhou decided to keep his troops in place and continue to observe their every move.

At the same time, Zhan Ping also obtained more intelligence about these officials through his own channels.

He discovered that there was some kind of interest relationship between them and Japan, and that a huge conspiracy seemed to be brewing.

So when Qinzhou and Zhanping exchanged their own information, they discovered their conspiracy. However, just as they were preparing to report, danger was quietly approaching.
