When Concubine He heard what happened in the court today, she said angrily, "The Emperor has known about this for a long time, but he is deliberately protecting Prince Mu. I don't know. I don't believe that your brotherhood is so unbreakable."
"Throughout the dynasties, no princes, generals, or ministers whose achievements surpassed their masters have ever met a good end. I do not believe that Your Majesty is not afraid of Prince Mu's heavy military command."
"Lord Mu, I don't believe that you are so good at fighting on land and can be invincible on water. Even if you defeat the pirates, I will make sure you never return."
She sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, gently stroking her delicate face, with a ferocious expression on her face, which made people shudder and feel creepy.
"This palace is like a giant cage. If you don't want to become someone else's prey, you have to take the initiative and pave the way for yourself."
Her pretty face was shrouded in a layer of gloom, making it difficult to understand her thoughts.
She quickly wrote a note and handed it to the nanny, then quickly instructed, "Nanny, you must personally leave the palace and hand this thing to my father. After Prince Mu wins, he will never return. If anything happens in the sea, he will surely die. If he dies, the Third Prince will be nothing more than a fledgling. It will be easy to kill him."
"Old slave, I obey."
At the Princess's Mansion, Shangguan Yunting and the others sat at the table. "Uncle Jiu, the people who impeached you at this morning's court session were all officials from the Censorate. They all take orders from the Censor-in-Chief, He Jinzhong. This is definitely related to Concubine He and the Crown Prince."
"They impeached you because they were targeting me. They didn't want Divine Doctor Ye and Xiaoxue to succeed in their research and help heal my leg injury. My recovery would hinder the Crown Prince's bright future."
"Brother Rui, if the impeachment fails this time, they may have further actions. You and your brother-in-law must be careful in the future."
"You must be careful in the future."
"Your Highness, you and the Third Prince cannot just sit there and wait for death. You must take the initiative and make the final decision, otherwise there will be no end to the trouble."
"I've already sent people to investigate. If you're not absolutely sure you can take them down, don't act rashly. Otherwise, you'll only alert them. A single strike will make it impossible for them to recover."
"Tell me if you need anything."
"Uncle Nine, this morning, the Emperor sent you to the South China Sea to fight pirates. Our navy is weak, and you're great at fighting on land. Be very careful at sea, where you're unfamiliar with the land. Pirates are rampant, and they're elusive. Captain Lin has fought them for years without success."
Shangguan Yunting's eyes were firm. "Don't worry! Naval warfare isn't my forte, but I won't be defeated easily."
Shen Rou was surprised and asked, "Are you going to fight pirates?"
"Several fishing boats in our empire's waters have been attacked by pirates. The local captain has led his troops in pursuit, but to no avail. He has reported this to my brother, the emperor. Since no one in the court is proficient in water, I must go."
"Xiao Rou, I will rush back before the wedding and will never delay it."
"I'll go with you."
"No."
Shangguan Yunting refused outright, "This trip is fraught with danger. How can I take you into this? Besides, the medical school still needs your supervision."
"These can be left to the Third Prince to send people to do. You are not familiar with the sea area. If something goes wrong, the consequences can be imagined. I will accompany you to feel at ease."
"But…"
Shen Rou quickly interrupted him, "No buts, how much can I help you with? I'll go back to my room and you two can talk first."
Shen Xue looked at Shen Rou who was walking away with concern.
Shen Rou quickly returned to her room and entered the space to search for information about warships on the Internet. She drew it bit by bit on the computer, marked the materials one by one, and carefully organized the drawn warship information and took it out of the space.
At this time, Shangguan Yunting came over and she handed him the information. Shangguan Yunting's eyes lit up when he looked at the information, "What is this?"
"This is a diagram of the warship's structure. It's much stronger than our current ships. Having a warship will be of great help to our navy."
Shangguan Yunting took the information, his face full of surprise, "Xiao Rou, I really picked up a treasure. You are so amazing. There is nothing you don't know. With the warship, we will definitely defeat the pirates."
"You're too happy too soon. Building a warship takes time, and it won't be needed this time."
"It's hard to say. The pirates are everywhere. Captain Guilin has chased them many times without success. We are even more confused about the unfathomable sea. It would be extremely difficult to solve the problem in a few months."
"Maybe our wedding date will be postponed. You won't be angry, will you?"
"Country first, family second. This is a small matter. It won't be too late to get married after we defeat the pirates and come back."
Shangguan Yunting held Shen Rou in his arms and said gratefully: "I, Shangguan Yunting, am so blessed to have met you. God has given me a treasure. I will cherish you for the rest of my life."
Shen Rou gently patted Shangguan Yunting's arm and said, "Stop joking. Hurry up and go to the palace to hand over this information to the emperor. Let him handle the construction of the warships. We will arrange to fight the pirates."
"it is good."
They arrived at the palace with the documents. The emperor was puzzled when he saw them. "Old Nine, why are you and Princess Furong coming to the palace at this time?"
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
"What's the matter?"
Shen Rou handed the information to her father-in-law, who quickly presented it to the emperor. The emperor's eyes lit up as he flipped through the information, "Princess Furong, did you draw this?"
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I drew. If this warship can be successfully built, it will increase the combat effectiveness of our navy."
"If we train another brave and invincible navy, our Great Qi Navy will surely become famous and renowned. Other nations will be terrified by our admiration and will be left far behind."
The Emperor was delighted and immediately praised her, "Princess Furong is truly an extraordinary woman. I will definitely reward her handsomely for her contributions."
Shen Rou bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I only hope that our Great Qi's military can become stronger and free from foreign invasion."
The emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this and praised her repeatedly, "Very good, Princess Furong has a heart of righteousness. This is a blessing for Great Qi and the people."
"Princess Furong, for your contributions to our country, I grant you ten thousand taels of gold, twenty thousand taels of silver, and one hundred pieces of brocade."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will donate the gold and silver to the army to fight against the pirates, and I will keep the brocade for my family to make clothes."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was even more impressed. "Princess Furong is so righteous and considers money as nothing. She is truly a role model for women in our dynasty. I admire her."
Shen Rou thought to herself, I still have tens of millions of taels of silver in my space, and I have so much silver that I have no place to spend it.
"When the country is in trouble, everyone has a responsibility. I am just trying to help in some small way."
"If everyone were as ambitious as you, there would be no need to worry about our Great Qi becoming rich, powerful, and glorious."
The Emperor sat up straighter. "I intend to have the princess participate in the formation of this navy. The princess is thoughtful and insightful, and will surely be of some help."
"Your Majesty, I wish to accompany you to the South China Sea to fight pirates. The formation of the navy should be left to capable people."
"That's fine. I feel more at ease with you by Old Nine's side."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I don't know when I will return from Hainan this time. Please take good care of my family."
"Princess Furong cares about the people of our dynasty. I will protect everyone in the Shen family."
"Thank you for your grace."
"Your Majesty, I intend to entrust the Third Prince with the supervision of building a medical school in the suburbs. Is that okay?"
"Okay. Rui'er will have something to do and it will distract him, which will also be good for his injury."
"Old Nine, please stay. I have something to discuss with you."
"Xiao Rou, go back first. I'll come find you later."
"I just happened to go back and prepare something."
Shen Rou took the guards out of the palace and bought a lot of things on the street. When she returned to her room, she put them directly into the space for use.
He took out three large boxes of silver from the space and placed them in the room. He also copied Sun Tzu's Art of War and ordered Chunyan to call Shen Xue.
Shen Xue came to the door and knocked, "Sister..."
Shen Rou heard the call and quickly came out of the space, "Come in."
"Sister, do you really want to go to the South China Sea with your brother-in-law? It's too dangerous."
"Xiaoxue, you have to believe in your elder sister's ability. No matter how dangerous the situation is, I can turn it into a good one."
"I know you're powerful, but water and fire are merciless, and the unfathomable depths of the sea worry me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safe and sound. I haven't seen you and Xiaonan grow up, get married and start a family, how could anything happen to you?"
"Sister, bah, bah! Stop talking nonsense. You are a god in my heart. You must come back safely."
"Most definitely."
Shen Rou pointed to three large wooden boxes beside her and said, "Xiaoxue, here is 1.5 million taels of silver. Use the silver here to build the suburban medical school. You can keep the rest of the silver in the bank."
Shen Xue opened her eyes wide and said in astonishment: "Sister, what? One million and a half taels of silver? Where did you get so much money?"
"Silly girl, what your elder sister earned, can you still rob her?"
"Oh my god! Is our family so rich? I didn't even know it!"
Shen Rou didn't dare say that all the money she had was plundered from the Xue family and Prime Minister Huo's mansion.
"Look at how surprised you are. We have plenty of money at home. Use it freely in the future. If you don't have it, I'll give it to you. When disaster strikes anywhere in the world, you must be the first to donate money and supplies to help. This will pave the way for your future."
"At the end of every month, Yunzhou and Yipin Pavilion will send the monthly accounts to the capital. You will count the silver and reconcile the accounts, and keep the silver you receive with you."
"I have already told the Emperor that the construction of the medical school will be supervised by the Third Prince, so that no one else dares to touch you easily. I also beg the Emperor to protect our Shen family. With the Emperor's protection, you can study surgery with peace of mind. I believe that in the near future you will definitely be the best female doctor in Da Qi."
"When the medical school in the suburbs is built, your surgical skills will surely be successful. Recruit doctors from all over the country to study medicine. By then, you will be famous and your status will be worthy of the Third Prince."
"I know you and the Third Prince are in love, but you feel very inferior in front of him. With your other identity, it's only right for you to marry him as his principal wife."
Shen Xue looked at Shen Rou with emotion, "Sister, it's great to have you. You are so far-sighted and considerate of me everywhere. I am very touched."
Shen Rou gently stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Silly girl, mother is no longer alive. An elder sister is like a mother. You are my responsibility. I can only feel at ease when you are well."
"Sister, you can see that the Third Prince is sincere towards you. He is responsible, ambitious, and cares about the world. He will become a great man in the future and will definitely not let you down."
"Thank you, sister..."
"Still being polite to Big Sister, after I leave, write to Grandma and Xiaonan and tell them. Tell Xiaonan to study hard and take the imperial examination well next spring, and strive to pass it in one go and become a scholar."
"I am the first person in Daqi to pass the imperial examination at the age of ten. I will definitely reward him well when my eldest sister comes back."
"Sister, will you and your brother-in-law postpone your wedding date?"
"It might be delayed. It's okay to do it when I get back."
Shen Xue hugged Shen Rou tightly and said, "Come back soon. Our whole family is waiting for you to come back for the New Year."
"I try my best."
"Tell someone to take the silver back to your room. I'm going to talk to the Third Prince."
"it is good."
Shen Rou came to Shangguan Rui's room and said, "Third Prince, I am going to the South China Sea with the prince. I will leave the house and Xiaoxue to you."
"Princess, please rest assured. I will do my best to protect Xiaoxue and everyone in the Shen family."
"I trust you, so I entrust my most beloved sister to you. I hope you will treat her well in the future."
"Didn't the princess come back in a few months?"
"The danger is unknown, and things in this world are unpredictable. If you can't come back, Xiaoxue and the Shen family will have no choice but to rely on you."
Shen Rou's eyes were firm yet tinged with worry. Shangguan Rui nodded solemnly, "The Princess and Uncle Nine are blessed by good fortune and will surely return safely. If anything were to happen, I, Shangguan Rui, swear to heaven that I will cherish Xiaoxue like a treasure and protect the Shen family."
Shen Rou took out the excerpt from Sun Tzu's Art of War and handed it to Shangguan Rui. "This is Sun Tzu's Art of War. Study it carefully now. It will definitely be useful in the future."
Shangguan Rui looked at the excerpt from Sun Tzu's Art of War and looked at Shen Rou in surprise.
"This will be helpful in deploying troops."
"Thank you, Princess."
"I've told the Emperor that I'm giving you the authority to oversee the construction of a medical school in the suburbs. With this assignment, others will think twice before taking action."
"And I suggest that the Emperor build an invincible navy. When you recover from your injuries, you can take over this army. You will have a certain status in both the navy and the court."
"If you want to protect others, you must first become strong yourself, otherwise it's all nonsense."
Shangguan Rui clasped his hands together and saluted, "Sister, thank you for planning for Xiaoxue and my future. I, Shangguan Rui, will never let you down in this life."
"I believe you."
Only then did Shen Rou leave with peace of mind.
