However, she ended up saying nothing.

A few days later, she suddenly found Fei Wan.

"I can help you, what do you need me to do?"

Her eyes had some spirit in them, no longer as lifeless as before.

"Have you come to terms with it?" Fei Wan asked her to sit down. "Actually, I don't need your help with anything particularly difficult. You said before that you live in a place different from Daliang. Specifically, what kind of place is it? Can you tell me in detail? I'm not trying to track down your identity; that would be meaningless to me. I just want to know what kind of world cultivated your personality. What gives you the right to sneer at us?"

"Why are you asking this? How can this help you?"

"Maybe, it can help me a lot."

Gu Shu'er rolled her eyes and said suspiciously, "You're not thinking... after understanding my world, you'll imitate me in depth, take your charm to the next level, and try to consolidate my favor, right?"

Fei Wan: “…”

"Then you better give up that idea. You can't learn to be like me no matter how hard you try. It's the result of the environment!"

Fei Wan was silent.

"What if I want to change the world around me and nourish more people?"

"How is that possible!" Gu Shu'er scoffed. "Everyone is equal, you know? Where I grew up, there were no emperors, no palaces where women were kept in cages as pets. The palaces where we lived were open to common people. With a ticket of just a few dozen yuan, you could go in and wander around for a whole day, seeing all the places where emperors and concubines slept hundreds of years ago."

When others heard Gu Shuer's words, they thought they were just crazy talk.

But after observing her closely for many days, Fei Wan found that there was no other explanation except that she came from another place.

Ghost possession.

It is easy for Fei Wan, who has been reborn, to accept such things.

"Who else have you said these words to?"

Gu Shuer raised her eyebrows. "Who else can I tell? If I tell anyone else, I might be dragged out and drowned in a pond or burned."

When she was in despair and was convinced she was going to die, she told Fei Wan without any preparation that she was a possessed spirit.

Fei Wan didn't harm her and was very nice to her, so she felt at ease to say these words.

She wouldn't dare to change someone else.

Once she passed the moment when she wanted to die, she didn't dare to die easily.

Fei Wan nodded: "That's good. Don't talk nonsense once you leave my room. Now, tell me about your world."

"You're so stubborn! Okay, let me tell you. Once you understand, you'll realize how ridiculous it is to want to change everything. The development process here is more than a hundred years behind my home. What can a concubine like you change?"

Gu Shuer then held the sweet soup, ate some snacks, and chatted with Fei Wan.

A world without an emperor.

Women can study normally and find jobs outside to make a living.

A man cannot marry many wives.

Women do not have to take their husband's surname.

All conveniences of life.

There are many means of transportation to choose from.

Friends and relatives who are far away can talk face to face...

Fei Wan listened attentively.

Shocked and shocked.

If that kind of world really exists, wouldn't it be like the fairyland?

She couldn't imagine tools she had never seen.

However, what Gu Shuer described, a world where women can be the masters of their own homes and there is no oppression of rulers and subjects, is the beautiful fantasy she has always longed for!

"You said there are some very powerful firearms out there that can fire thousands of miles away? More powerful than the artillery of the Firearms Battalion?"

Another thing that made Fei Wan excited was the weapons.

Gu Shu'er was full of pride: "Of course. Your bows, arrows, swords, and knives are what we call 'cold weapons', which are already relics of the past. When we go to war with other countries, we still have a very powerful cannonball, one that can destroy an entire city!"

"How was that made?!" Fei Wan asked.

Gu Shuer waved her hands repeatedly: "Don't ask me, I don't know how to do it. Those are all designed by great people who are famous in history. But I can draw blueprints. Not the blueprints of artillery shells, but the blueprints of other tools. Let me tell you, I studied mechanical engineering. Although I haven't graduated yet, I have been studying for more than a year..."

"Draw, draw now, draw whatever you can!" Fei Wan asked people to prepare pens and ink.

"Your brushes are no good. At least give me some charcoal, a ruler, a compass, and..."

Whatever Gu Shuer wants, Fei Wan will have someone prepare it.

No, just make it as she said.

From that day on, Fei Wan asked Gu Shuer to lie down at the table and draw for a while every day.

Looking at the strange-shaped yet neatly organized things appearing on the paper, Fei Wan got to know Gu Shuer again.

I also gradually understood why she was so hysterical about being a concubine.

For such a talented person, who would be willing to be locked in a cage as a canary for the rest of his life?

But Gu Shuer said that she was just an ordinary female student, not yet completed her studies, and only had a slight interest in drawing. Compared with those good students, those teachers and experts, and even the top talents, she was too insignificant.

But her being like this was enough to shock Fei Wan.

Fei Wan was now extremely thankful that she had used Gu Shu'er in the first place and had been deliberately nice to her. She also had a little bit of pity for her and had not made things difficult for her.

What she brought with her was more than just a baby in her belly!

When Gu Shuer had a stack of design drawings, Fei Wan created an encounter for her and Lu Guinian who had entered the palace.

Lu Guinian rebuilt the Firearms Shenjiying, which also served as the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, and needed blueprints everywhere.

Fei Wan was also good at avoiding the important issues and making it easier for Gu Shuer and Lu Guinian to communicate about the blueprints and get the emperor's permission.

Things went smoothly.

Gu Shuer would give Lu Guinian a new map every few days. The two would exchange letters or meet in the side hall of Chenqian Palace to discuss.

The emperor was also very surprised by the talent displayed by Gu Shuer and was happy to see her success.

In private, he even hinted to Queen Yan and Fei Wan that he would promote Gu Shuer as soon as the child was born.

She is already a spiritual concubine, and the next one up is the fourth concubine.

Four virtuous and kind concubines.

In addition to De and Hui, the positions of Xian and Shu are still vacant.

The title of Consort Xian was previously held by Empress Yan, so no one else will be given the title for the time being.

The emperor wanted Gu Shuer to be his concubine.

Queen Yan and Fei Wan naturally had no objection, and the emperor praised their virtues.

However, Gu Shu'er became lively again and often walked happily before the emperor, which caused dislike among other concubines.

She was never popular.

On this day, the emperor went to Fengming Palace to talk with Queen Yan and discuss what rewards to give to the officials in the palace on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Some of the concubines present joined in the fun.

Suddenly a concubine stood up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is something I have been wondering about for a long time. I can't help it today and want to speak it out. Please forgive me."

Queen Yan asked as usual, "What's the matter?"

I thought it was just an ordinary rift between concubines. Who was this person trying to offend?

Who knows, but I heard her say:

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, I am reporting that Concubine Ling is having an affair! The child in her belly is not a dragon seed at all!"
