Princess of the auxiliary country

"She's just a country girl, so what if she has a holy favor?"

"Can she still have a higher status in His Majesty's heart than our family?"

The woman on the side spoke angrily.

He really still dislikes Princess Zhaode from the bottom of his heart.

Although he knew that she was unparalleled in divine favor, it was only the emperor who feared her, not Princess Zhaode herself.

In fact, this is not just her opinion. Almost all the higher-class nobles in the capital have this view.

They all felt that if it weren't for the emperor's favor, what would she be, just a girl who grew up in the countryside?

So what if she is the third young lady of Duke Ji’s mansion?

I'm just fascinated by their sense of superiority.

In fact, a large part of the founders of the Yu Dynasty belonged to poor families or emerging families with little inheritance.

Even the Shen family of Duke Zhao's residence did not become prosperous for long, that is, they changed their family status only after an official came out in the previous dynasty.

To put it bluntly, most of these people, especially those in the Guanzhong Group, are in the same situation as the Shen family. Some of them were originally ordinary families. It was just because they were in troubled times and they followed the right people that they became what they are today. status today.

In the past few years, their situation was probably not as good as Huo Junyao's, and I don't know what gave them the confidence to look down on Huo Junyao.

Perhaps it was because of their disdain or escape from their original identity after leaping over the dragon gate that they developed a disgusting contempt for Huo Junyao.

Or maybe it was out of pure jealousy.

Think about how much contribution these people have made to the world of Yu Dynasty. They fought with their lives with real swords and guns to achieve their current status.

How come you, a girl, have climbed to such a high position now by relying on the emperor's guilt and favor without doing anything?

I feel a little dissatisfied in my heart, thinking that this is just a nouveau riche, which is completely different from the great meritorious people like them who helped found the Yu Dynasty.

"you"

"A woman's view is that her hair is long but her knowledge is short."

Shen Huan knew what his wife was thinking.

To put it bluntly, I just feel that I am a descendant of the descendants, which makes me feel a little arrogant.

They completely failed to see that although this descendant clan brought them a good status, this status was also very sensitive and embarrassing.

"No matter what method you use, I can clean up the things you did. Don't leave any traces behind. You also don't want to contact those people involved in this matter. Just stay at home honestly recently." .”

"If you dare to go out, I'll see if I don't break your legs."

Putting away the whip, Shen Huan snorted and walked away.

"Son, don't be afraid, your father is just timid."

"Come on, come on, get the doctor over to treat my son's injury."

"Xiaochan, are you ready with all the things I asked you to prepare earlier?"

At night, Huo Junyao returned to her small courtyard in the eldest princess's mansion.

"It's been prepared, and everything has been sent to Zhuangzi."

"It's just Miss, why do you want to buy these things?"

The day after the assassination, Huo Junyao asked her to arrange for people to purchase sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal.

"Since you dare to arrange for people to kill me, then I naturally have to let them know what fear is."

Her main goal has always been to grow slowly. Although there was a lot of commotion, in the final analysis, these commotions were just a counterattack she was forced to make, or a counterattack she had to do as a last resort.

The prince is like this, Zhao Yaner is like this, even the eldest son of Wu Guogong is like this.

She didn't take the initiative to provoke anyone.

Even when doing business, she was cautious and did not dare to make any big moves.

The slightly larger paper-making business has also gone through detailed planning to ensure that even if he offends people, it will not make them hate him to the bone.

It is true that the matter of Duke Wu's Mansion did offend some people, but there was also Emperor Zhaowu's plan in it.

And she also understood that even if Wu Guogong was resentful towards her, as a person who could give up his son to keep his wealth, he would never take the initiative to risk his wealth just because he wanted to vent his anger.

Although it may seem dangerous, it is not at all the case.

Some subsequent developments also confirmed her idea. After Wu Guogong was dismissed from office, there was no action at all.

Besides, even though she was the one who proposed it, it was just a casual chat with my mother at the time, and no matter how much she tried to stop it, it shouldn't be all blamed on her, right?

Okay, what's the result?

These people did not dare to confront the emperor head-on, but instead used her life as a warning.

For a person who only wants to keep growing, this definitely touched her back.

Since you want to play, then she will have fun. She wants to see whether your cold weapons are more powerful or the hot weapons in her head.

This Yu Chao doesn't want to have any internal strength or anything like those in martial arts novels.

Although there are also martial arts and the like, the gap is mostly due to skills or personal bravery.

She still doesn't believe it. You are so brave, how can you still withstand the gunpowder bomb?

After facing death threats, she realized belatedly that she needed to prepare some self-defense and life-saving gadgets.

Black powder is definitely the easiest thing for her to get at the moment, and it is also the best thing to get.

The big guys in science and engineering are not just talking about it. Although they have never done this in their previous lives, there are still some theoretical aspects. Experiment and it will not be a big problem to figure it out.

No, she has already planned it. After the thing is out and the people behind it are found, she will let them feel what fear is.

At the same time, it also allows those who secretly have evil intentions to see the deadly anger from the honest people of later generations.

The next day, Huo Junyao left the capital early in the morning with a large group of people.

When she arrived at the Hot Spring Villa, she first went to the mourning hall arranged by the Xiaohuang Villa, offered incense and bowed to the fifty guards, and comforted the family members. She immediately returned to the Hot Spring Villa and began to study black gunpowder.

"Xiaochan, please send someone to the capital to report the news. I will stay at the Hot Spring Villa for a few days and let my father investigate who is involved first. Don't rush into action yet. We will wait until I return to the capital."

"Also, go get me a small clay pot."

Xiaochan took the order and retreated.

Not long after, people arrived at the eldest princess's mansion.

"Why do you have to live there for a few more days? How dangerous it is."

"You don't have to worry. The Shence Army is still over there, and the last incident was so big that I believe those guys don't dare to act rashly."

"I'm even more confused, why did she just ask me to investigate first, but didn't rush to take action?"

Huo Jingzhi was a little confused. According to his idea, he would investigate first and then attack directly in the hall.

And he has already started investigating, and has already found the tail of several companies.
