Chapter 153 Poisoning
With a scimitar in hand, Pan Yingying is even more lethal than before.

Everyone finally saw her true strength.

Yu Chaosheng reacted and realized that she had been using the long knife and dagger just to hide her identity.

Damn it! This woman even lied to him!
"Girl! Let me..." Before Lumei could even say "help you", Pan Yingying had already rushed to the other side without stopping.

She didn't dare ask this strong man who had just changed his weapon for help.

What if she accidentally hits her on the head?

……

……

When Liao You and his men arrived, Taoyuan Village was already cleaning up the battlefield.

They had witnessed the brutality of these villagers before, and now they witnessed it again.

Because the black-clad men who launched the sneak attack were wearing fine clothes, they were all stripped clean.

Liao You: …

I feel like I'm going to get stye when I get home.

Seeing them coming to support, even though they didn't make it in time, the people of Taoyuan Village still thanked them and were very enthusiastic, and kept them to help build the wall.

We are all family, so there is no need to be formal. It would be a waste to make good use of them.

Liao You couldn't refuse. Helping to kill the enemy was support, and helping to build the wall was also support.

So, the 500 soldiers from Yaocheng spent most of the night building a wall at the west gate.

They thought they would be done after working for half the night, but the villagers warmly invited them into the village to rest, treated them to delicious food and drinks, and continued building the wall the next day.

Liao You: …

Liao You was numb.

Xiao Shan was also numb.

Taoyuan Village suffered heavy losses this time, with many casualties.

Especially those in the North District who volunteered to rush to the front, more than 300 people died and more than 2000 were injured.

Everyone buried them in the newly planned "Heroes' Tomb" and burned a lot of paper money for them.

The village was gloomy for a while.

……

……

Capital city, Prime Minister’s residence.

Yuan Xingrong slammed the table hard and glared at his son with eyes as sharp as a sword.

"She is just a woman and her mind is not clear, so you should also be confused!"

He pointed at his eldest son who was in his early 40s and scolded him with annoyance.

Yuan Shuhua was hunched over, and he couldn't even raise his head because of the scolding from his old father who was about to celebrate his 60th birthday.

He knew that he was indeed impulsive this time, but she was his only sister and she was of such a status.

Yuan Shuhua stammered, not daring to open his mouth to defend himself.

Yuan Xingrong got angry when he saw him like this.

"I know what you are thinking, but let me tell you, the Yuan family has never bet on them and their son."

After all, he was his only legitimate son. Fearing that he might hinder him and cause trouble, Yuan Xingrong could only teach him patiently.

Yuan Shuhua was puzzled. If he didn't bet on his sister and nephew, who did he bet on?

At this time, Yuan Xingrong's confidant came to report, "The eldest son has returned from his study tour."

Yuan Xingrong stood up and left the study with his crutches.

Yuan Xingshuhua reacted and couldn't help but shudder.

Could it be that my father is...

Yuan Shuhua didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly got up and headed for the outer courtyard.

Yuan Huaijin, the leader of the “Four Young Masters of the Capital”, walked quickly into the gate.

He was dressed in a plain spring shirt and a moon-white cloak, and walked with the demeanor of a gentleman.

The more Yuan Xingrong looked at him, the more satisfied he was. Huai Jin was worthy of being raised by him personally. He was much better and more capable than his father who was raised by a woman.

"Grandfather, Huaijin is back." The young man said, lifting his clothes and kneeling solemnly towards Yuan Xingrong.

Yuan Xingrong's eyes were slightly wet, and he stepped forward to help the man up. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Now that they are back, the Yuan family can truly join the game.

……

……

Liu Pianran was picking at the gems inlaid on it from time to time.

It was only after the imperial physician ran away that she realized something and asked her mother to send a female doctor into the palace.

The female doctor might have had an agreement with Liu Mingwu in advance, and was not like the imperial physician who did not dare to tell the truth. She spoke after a careful examination.

"Your Majesty may have been poisoned." The female doctor said with certainty.

Liu Pianran nodded and was about to ask if there was any way to detoxify the poison, but the female doctor's next words completely banished her to the cold palace.

"This poison is too strong. Your Majesty may have difficulty having children in the future."

The female doctor spoke more tactfully, but her meaning was very clear.

When Liu Pianran was shocked by this bolt from the blue, her eyes almost rolled back and she fainted.

How could she be poisoned? And when was she poisoned?

After much thought, the person most likely to have poisoned Liu Pianran was the one in Yonghe Palace, the mother of the fifth prince Xiao Qi - Concubine Xian Yuan Ruolan.

Liu Pianran dug her nails into her palms, her eyes red with hatred.

The female doctor left a health-preserving prescription and was sent out of the palace by Jin Ling.

Jin Ling looked at Liu Pianran's gloomy expression and wanted to speak to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.

Secretly, she didn't want the Goddess to give birth to a child for that old man, but if the Goddess wanted to save the people, she had to give birth to a child.

Liu Pianran's mood was in turmoil.

Mother will definitely find a way, she will definitely find a way.

Three days later, Liu Pianran received a note sent by Liu Mingwu.

That night, good news came from Fengzao Palace. Emperor Yuwen was very pleased and bestowed many rewards.

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine Xian almost tore her handkerchief.

……

……

The crisis has temporarily passed, and Taoyuan Village is slowly recovering.

Everyone worked harder and more diligently in their spare time to study and train.

The weather gradually became warmer, the injured had almost recovered, and the bakery resumed operations.

Those who originally worked in the garment factory quit and started to work on the farm.

Neither Pan Yingying nor Yu Chaosheng had ever farmed, and Pan Yingying taught everyone farming by simply reading the contents of a book she bought from the mall.

The only thing she had ever practiced was growing bean sprouts.

Now that the weather is hot, it's time to test the results.

Except for the workers in the bakery, everyone in the village participated in the lively land turning.

Yu Chaosheng invented a curved plow, which was perfect for use with the oxen that had fled with everyone.

Almost all the places in the village where crops can be grown are planted, even the edge of the road is planted with corn.

No one had ever seen corn, but they had seen and eaten sweet potatoes on the way here. However, everyone trusted Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng very much.

Now that no one has divided the land, the grain produced in the North District has already been ordered, with 10% going to the village granary and 30% being kept by the people in the North District.

One-third of the grain produced in other places was given to everyone, 20% was stored in the granary, and the remaining 50% was sold, and the money earned was distributed to the villagers.

Everyone agreed and raised their hands in agreement.

Because no one knew what corn was, Pan Yingying gave several lectures in the farming class and also talked about the countless ways to eat corn.

On that day, the school cafeteria made cornmeal pancakes, boiled corn and cornmeal vegetable porridge.

Everyone who ate it thought it was delicious, and it made them more determined to grow corn.

　Sorry, I was too tired last night and I broke the appointment.

　　woo woo woo woo…
