Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan had already told Xiao Muyao about the heated kang bed last night.

She originally intended for Xiao Muyao to present this method to Emperor Jingzhao.

Of course, her credit will not be hidden.

Xiao Muyao disagreed after hearing this.

His going was completely different from Yan'er's going.

If he goes, even if his father knows that this was Yan'er's doing.

However, both court officials and common people will greatly reduce Yan'er's contributions to this cause, and may even impose them on him.

Because many people believe that what belongs to a wife should belong to her husband.

So even if Yan'er came up with the idea, she would naturally feel that the credit should belong to her.

But he refused!

He didn't want to make Yan'er suffer like that.

It was clearly Yan'er's doing; no one can take it away from her, not even him.

After listening to his analysis, Lingyan finally understood the intricacies of the matter.

Her mindset hadn't changed yet, and she hadn't considered that this would be the outcome, which is why she overlooked it.

Now that she knows, of course she wants to go and offer it herself.

She wouldn't be so foolish as to give away her credit to someone else.

Even if that person is her husband.

However, this husband is also a very, very good person.

Everything was planned for her in this way.

Because on the very day that Lingyan presented this method to Emperor Jingzhao, he had already made it public, and emphasized that it was Princess Rui who came up with this method because she couldn't bear to see the people suffering in the cold winter.

They also arranged for some people to mingle in the crowd to loudly proclaim Lingyan's righteousness and love for the people.

In just ten days, everyone in Dazhao knew that Princess Rui had come up with the idea of ​​a heated kang bed to prevent the people from suffering from the severe cold.

Moreover, this method was presented to His Majesty, who has already ordered officials of the Ministry of Works to teach the people how to install heated kang beds.

Today, one-third of the households in Dazhao have installed heated kang beds.

It was so hot that it warmed my body and even warmed my heart.

I'll never have to worry about freezing to death again.

Upon hearing this, all the people were deeply grateful for the great kindness and benevolence of Princess Rui.

They spontaneously kowtowed devoutly in the direction of the capital to express their gratitude.

They also set up a longevity tablet at home and worshipped it three times a day, praying that Lingyan would bless them and sincerely bless Princess Rui with good health, long life, and happiness.

After this incident, Lingyan has become known as a living bodhisattva and savior in the eyes of many people in the Great Zhao.

When Lingyan learned of this, she didn't know if she would waver when she left Xiao Muyao in the future.

He was so good that Lingyan's heart kept melting.

Let alone this era, even in modern times, he said he didn't want such a great contribution.

If he were to take the blame for this himself, he would gain the genuine submission of all the people of the Great Zhao.

This is a matter of public opinion!

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

Yet he remained completely uninvolved and, to prevent others from taking any action, spread the word about it beforehand.

In this way, she won the hearts of the people.

The people were all grateful to her and praised her.

Although she deserves all of this, how many people in the world can do this?

How to do?

If this happens a few more times, she might really not be able to bear leaving him in the future.

No, no, absolutely not!

She must firmly uphold her principles and beliefs.

No one in this world is more important than herself.

She would absolutely not be willing to compromise herself and share a husband with other women.

So she had no choice but to leave him.

Lingyan tried her best to harden her heart, refusing to succumb to his warmth any longer, refusing to be melted any further.

Otherwise, the consequences...

She dared not think.

………………

Thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone in the Ministry of Works, heated kang beds were successfully installed in the homes of people throughout Dazhao within a month.

Everyone was beaming with joy, some even weeping with happiness.

With no farm work to do in winter, everyone huddled together on the warm kang (heated brick bed) every day, feeling cozy and content.

They thanked Princess Rui repeatedly every day.

At the same time, I will also bless Princess Rui with a long and healthy life every day.

Not only ordinary people, but also wealthy families and officials in the imperial court installed heated brick beds.

I must say, it's really warm.

Princess Rui is truly clever; she actually came up with the idea of ​​using a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) to keep warm.

Although they had long known that Princess Rui was a prodigy, each time she appeared, it only deepened their understanding of her.

Princess Rui is indeed a genius of unparalleled talent.

If he were a man, his future would likely be limitless.

They will surely achieve great things and leave a lasting mark on history.

Although some people admire her greatly for being such a capable woman, they have no other intentions.

However, some people felt extremely uncomfortable, harboring jealousy and resentment.

Such great credit was given to a woman.

Why not give it to Prince Rui?

Aren't husband and wife one?

Even if this was Princess Rui's idea, she was a woman. What use was such great merit and popular support to her?

It would have been better to just give it to Prince Rui.

But now that the die is cast, they can only express their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

What they found even more unbelievable was that the reason this matter was publicized to everyone was thanks to Prince Rui.

This incident made them think that Prince Rui was truly infatuated with Princess Rui.

Such a great achievement was simply wasted.

They really didn't know what to say.

Xiao Muyao didn't care what they were thinking. In any case, the credit that belonged to Yan'er belonged to Yan'er, and no one else could get a share.

Tonight, the group gathered again in the study of Prince Rui's residence.

Of course, except for Chu Xiyao.

This matter concerns the Great Zhao Kingdom, and Chu Xiyao, as a native of Western Chu, should naturally avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Tonight's discussion will focus on the Second Prince and Consort Shu's affair with poppies, as well as the issue of trafficking women.

Indeed, the people behind the case of trafficking women that Lu Yanqing discovered were the Second Prince and Consort Shu.

Last time, they only dealt with the Zhou family; they've been investigating the person behind it all.

During this period, they have thoroughly investigated all the princes.

I wouldn't say I know them completely, but I know at least seven or eight tenths of them.

Therefore, they quickly discovered many of the misdeeds that the Second Prince and Consort Shu had committed over the years.

Consort Shu came from a family of a fifth-rank official in Jiangnan. Although she entered the palace many years ago, she never broke off contact with her family.

Over the years, her family has done many shameful and shady things for her and the second prince.

The poppies were discovered by her nephew by chance.

After carefully learning about the functions of poppies, they were overjoyed.

They immediately realized that this was a good way to control people.

So he informed Consort Shu and the Second Prince about it.

Fortunately, this matter was only discovered two years ago, and even though Consort Shu's maternal family searched the entire Great Zhao Dynasty for the past two years, they only managed to obtain a small portion of the poppies.

And they don't plant any more, nor do they expand further; they only have what they have.

It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

Otherwise, it's unimaginable that if they planted this thing all over the Great Zhao and then used it to control the people of the Great Zhao, the result would be utter annihilation.

All we need to do now is eliminate the poppies they have.

They only have a few of these things, so of course they should use them wisely.

Therefore, they only used them to control three ministers.

One second-rank military officer, one first-rank civil official, and one second-rank civil official.

Therefore, it seems that they only used poppies to control officials of the third rank and above.

These three are undoubtedly working for Consort Shu and the Second Prince.

Whether by choice or by force, they have done many unforgivable things in private over the past two years.

Therefore, these three cannot stay any longer.
