Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 337: Sadomasochism Deeply Loves Your Sister (42)

In three months, under Gu Qingcheng's strategizing, Huo Wuniang led the army to wipe out all the horse bandits and bandits within a hundred miles.

Gu Qingcheng's team also expanded from the initial 500 to 1000.

The city in Beicheng was completely renovated.

The walls were raised, the trenches of the moat were deepened, and the surrounding wasteland was reclaimed.

With a relatively stable rear, Huo Wuniang, Li Silang and other generals began to lead the attack.

According to the strategy formulated by Care Qingcheng, they specifically besieged a small group of Xirong cavalry.

If you can beat them, fight them. If you can't beat them, run to Xizhou or the border town.

The "Guerrilla Cavalry" of the Ninth Prince, like sparrows and kites, is not powerful, but it develops on the border line little by little.

In Beijing, Concubine Dong Gui has been ill in bed.

Empress Yuan didn't want to find bad luck before, but then she couldn't care about it.

Under the "persuasion" of the Empress Dowager Yuan, Emperor Qing finally let go and agreed to let Empress Yuan adopt a young prince.

Emperor Qing had a total of about twenty princes, who could be divided into two echelons according to their age:

The Ninth Prince and his previous princes have all grown up and are considered senior princes;
The ten princes and those after that are still very young and belong to the little princes.

Emperor Qing suggested that Empress Yuan could take the youngest nineteenth prince to her and raise him. The nineteenth prince is three years old and has just been recognized.

However, even if they are young, they can be raised to maturity after a few years.

Empress Dowager Yuan thought it was good.

Empress Yuan was a little unwilling: "Although Nineteen Lang's biological mother is a concubine and has a low status, her surname is Yang and she was born in the Yang family of Hongnong."

She is a daughter of an aristocratic family, not a lowly palace or ordinary people.

It is impossible for Queen Yuan to "remove the mother and keep the son".

But if Concubine Yang stays in the palace all the time, even if she raises Nineteenth Lang, Nineteenth Lang will know who his biological mother is!
Queen Yuan didn’t want to make wedding clothes for others.

To raise a son, one must raise one without hidden dangers.

By chance, Emperor Qing had a drink and met a palace maid.

The palace maid was lucky because she got pregnant just once.

Empress Yuan suddenly had an idea: if this palace girl gave birth to a son, she would take her and raise her.

As for the palace maid, well, these days, giving birth is like going to hell.

Dystocia, or postpartum blood collapse or something, is very normal.

Without the so-called biological mother, Empress Yuan was the only mother, and this son was truly matured.

If a daughter is born—

Empress Yuan glanced at the maids in her palace. In fact, it is not impossible to get them pregnant.

On the 15th day of the lunar month, Emperor Qing would go to the Queen's place.

Empress Yuan endured her jealousy and chose one or two with outstanding looks to serve Emperor Qing.

Three months later, three or four maids in the palace suddenly became pregnant.

Concubine Dong Gui: ...

She sighed secretly while following the procedure of coughing and vomiting blood.

She didn't know whether to be disgusted by someone's behavior, or to pity the maids or children!
"Oh, I don't know what's going on with Donglang!"

Concubine Dong Gui thought of her son who was far away in Xizhou, and finally a light flashed in her eyes.

She thought about her son leaving the capital a few months ago.

On the night of parting, her son held her hand and said goodbye to her.

Although Donglang has lost his memory and cannot remember the past.

But blood is a wonderful thing.

Donglang was instinctively close to him, and looked at him with admiration.

Every time Concubine Dong Gui sees her son's trusting and dependent eyes, she can't help thinking: For my son, I am willing to do anything!

Even to die!
Yes, there was a time when Concubine Dong Guifei was thinking, should I die?
As long as she is alive, she will be a target for Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing mostly used her and Donglang.

But if she died, no matter how cruel Emperor Qing was, he still had some genuine affection.

To his son, Emperor Qing always had a little love for his son.

In addition, it is human nature to pity the weak.

Emperor Qing cherished those princes and princesses in the palace who had lost their mothers.

"After I die, the emperor will love Jiulang even more, whether it's for the past friendship or to continue acting!"

With such an idea, Concubine Dong Gui gave birth to the will to die.

It was Gu Qingcheng who was keenly aware of Dong Guifei's abnormality. He knelt in front of her and said word by word, "Auntie, when I was living among the people, I heard a country slang -"

"A child with a mother is like a treasure, but a child without a mother is like a grass!"

"You are the only one who has me, please don't abandon me!"

Gu Qingcheng's words completely awakened Concubine Dong Gui.

It is too passive to rely solely on the "pity" of others.

If people are willing to take pity on them, they can give a little bit of charity.

But if she doesn't want to, and her Donglang has no mother, what should she do?
No!

She has to live!

Although she doesn't have a prominent status, and she doesn't have any helpers.

But, as long as she is still a noble concubine, as long as she stands in the palace, she can help Dong Lang!

Just her body—

Gu Qingcheng did not hesitate and exchanged his blessing for a marrow-cleansing pill in the mall.

Although Concubine Dong Gui didn't know where her son got the elixir, but out of trust in her son, she took the medicine without the slightest hesitation.

This marrow washing pill may just be a simplified version.

There is no cutting off the hair and cleansing the marrow as in the fairy tales. It just eradicates Dong Guifei's chronic illness.

Even though the efficacy of the medicine was compromised, Concubine Dong Guifei was still frightened.

However, she still didn't ask any more questions and just accepted silently.

Even if you are well or sick, you still have to pretend.

Since Concubine Dong Gui does not want to die and wants to live to help her son, she must always be good.

Moreover, after Dong Lang fell off the cliff, Concubine Dong Gui finally understood one thing——

She and Dong Lang are just pawns of Emperor Qing.

"I don't want to be a pawn! I'm a favorite concubine!"

Since she is a favorite concubine, she must receive the treatment that a favorite concubine deserves.

Rather than just bear a reputation.

Of course, for now, Concubine Dong does not dare to be too public.

She could only pretend to be ill to avoid Empress Yuan's attack and cause Emperor Qing's heartache.

Alas, a seriously ill person will die at some point, so why bother with her?
Concubine Dong Guifei has been ill for only half a year.

The form in the palace changed.

Concubine Dong Gui is still favored, but Emperor Qing is always drunk or admits the wrong person.

The number of pregnancies among low-ranking court ladies increased.

Queen Yuan and Queen Mother Yuan shifted their attention, no longer staring at Concubine Dong Gui and the other three concubines, but looking at the pregnant palace maids every day.

Concubine Dong Gui: ...

Donglang, grow up quickly.

Auntie is waiting for you to lead your troops back to the capital!
……

Ding!when!
In the blacksmith shop in Beicheng, Gu Qingcheng stood on the outside, watching several blacksmiths shirtless and hammering hard.

"Your Highness, look, is this piece of iron okay?"

After beating it for a while, an older blacksmith came to Gu Qingcheng holding the iron piece with iron pliers.

If it was left a few months ago, this blacksmith would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of nobles.

In ancient times, the status of craftsmen was very low.

Some trades that require secrecy, such as iron smelting, casting, etc., will even make craftsmen disabled.

The saddest example is the craftsman who built the imperial mausoleum.

Many people were directly killed or buried.

Gu Qingcheng is an ancient aborigine with a strict class concept in his heart.

However, after being bound to the system, he entered a different novel world.

She herself once worked as a "craftsman".

For this class, she has a new understanding.

Perhaps, she was not yet able to treat craftsmen as equals, but she realized the importance of craftsmen.

Great country craftsmen!

Craftsmen are existences that can promote social development!

And for a superior person, a valuable person should be valued!

This time he became the Ninth Prince, so Gu Qingcheng needed all kinds of talents to win the highest position.

Among many talents, craftsmen are indispensable and very important.

Not to mention anything else, just the armor and ordnance needed by the army require craftsmen to forge or even "invent" better and more sophisticated things.

"not bad!"

Gu Qingcheng looked at it carefully, nodded in satisfaction, "Research on the formula and see if it can increase the strength."

It's not that Gu Qingcheng pretends to understand. As a person with a nine-level skill, she may not be able to rub a nuclear bomb with her hands, but there is still no problem in improving the formula of refined iron, improving bows and crossbows.

It's just that Gu Qingcheng can't act too monstrously.

After all, here, she is the Ninth Prince of Jinzunyugui, not a craftsman.

She is smart enough to come up with an idea.

Specific R&D and experiments require craftsmen to try repeatedly.

For example, for black powder, Gu Qingcheng also used the warlock's notes as an excuse to come up with a rough formula.

The specific ratio needs to be studied by the craftsman himself...
