However, its imperative that the Princess and the Crown Prince survive this disaster. When Zhou Qi recalled the Princess frail and pale white face, he couldnt help but sigh. He told the current situation to Wu Heng.

After hearing the news, Wu Heng yelled in anger!

That cant be true! How could this be?!

The man wasnt very tall. He simply jumped on the spot, pointed to the sky while exclaiming angrily, Has the Princess not made enough merits? They still dare to threaten the Princess using his Highness into handing over something?! What a joke of a great empire!

Zhou Qi sighed, Actually, you cant blame everything on his Majesty. After such a cauldron was dug out, his Majestys heart must be uncomfortable. Coupled with people adding oil to the fire, its no wonder his Majesty would act like this. Earlier, when Eunuch Changxi saw that the Prince was in danger, he was quite surprised. It could be seen that his Majesty doesnt know of this matter. If he did, Im sure he wouldnt be like this As for what the Princess has that is so important

Its just, no matter how important it is, you still cant force a child like this! He really couldnt stand by and watch anymore.

He never saw the secret report, so he naively thought that the Princess was pressured from the Crown Princes heavy injuries and the Emperors taking back his Highness princely status. That was why she vomited blood out of anger. However, things werent that simple

With Lou Yes movements, in addition to the encouragement of people around himthese things prompted Emperor Gong Sheng to take action. He wanted the item in Gong Yi Mos hands to teach Lou Ye a harsh lesson! However, Gong Yi Mo made it clear that she would not hand it over. This matter, along with the uncovering of the cauldron and people fanning the flames around him, caused Gong Sheng to be adamant on acquiring the gunpowder.

He believed that the more Gong Yi Mo was unwilling to hand it over, the more ghosts there were in the background. It only furthered the others speculations: that she had thoughts of rebellion! Thats why he was so anxious and his actions led to the current situation.

How proud were the people behind the scenes? Taking advantage of the Emperors suspicion, they managed to wipe out over a year of the Crown Princes hard work and almost had him assassinated.

The Princess was also angered to the point of coughing up blood. Lord Jues life and death is unknown, the Grand Canal was put on hold, who knows who got the short end of the stick in the end?

How clever! How well-calculated! With such a good head on their shoulders, why bother dragging someone else down to achieve the approvement of others?

The more Wu Heng thought about it, the more angered he was.

You said that the Princess wanted a thousand people to pull the rope?

Yes. Zhou Qi didnt understand this part. His Majesty suspects that the Crown Prince harbors rebellious thoughts, so why was the Princess still acting so high-key?

Only

Wu Heng rubbed his chin, Every scale on this ship can be flipped. There are holes on the top, specially designed to pass a rope through. At the beginning, the Princess designed it this way so that his Highness would return to the capital under the pull of a thousand people and then dedicate it to the Emperor. I also dont know why the plans have been pushed ahead

Zhou Qi also didnt understand, Its probably because the stability of the ship is high and is safer for the Crown Prince to take?

Wu Heng didnt think this was the entire reason, but since he didnt understand it, hell stop thinking about it!

He clapped his hands and spoke.

Whatever, who cares that much about it? You just said that that Eunuch Changxi was bringing other people on horses and would arrive around this afternoon? Then, we need to start preparing now! Find some people to pull the ship!

Zhou Qi looked at the ship and sighed, Is it because the ship is too heavy so it needs manpower to move?

Wu Heng slyly smiled, Its actually the opposite: the ship is very light. There is also an energy-saving propellor inside the ship, and the two sides of the ship has also been modified. To move such a ship, 40 people is enough But saying that its hard to move could be the reason to find other people to pull the ship.
