Chapter 25: 024 Prime Minister Residence’s number one talented lady (6)
When the Prime Minister went back, Lady Ye had still not awoken. “Why didn’t you use my visiting card to find an Imperial Physician?”
Lady Ye’s health had always been managed by the Imperial Hospital, and the Prime Minister didn’t trust just any doctor to treat her.
After hearing the Prime Minister’s words, Mo Hen glanced at him, pursed her lips, and her eyes dimmed.
Realizing this, the Prime Minister suddenly understood, that’s right, given the current situation, it was unlikely anyone from the Imperial Hospital would be willing to come.
“Where is Shaohua?” the Prime Minister came to his senses.
“The Lady has gone to her laboratory,” Mo Hen quickly replied. Although she didn’t understand the meaning of ‘laboratory,’ she had become accustomed to the Lady’s eccentric ideas over the past three years.
Hearing this, the Prime Minister said nothing and merely instructed someone to find the most renowned Medical Hall in Imperial City before he went to attend to the matter of Ye Huaijin.
The world is now fractured into pieces, the current Emperor is single-mindedly focused on unifying the land just like his ancestors. He finally saw the opportunity with the muskets, but he did not expect such an incident to occur.
He was furious and wanted to throw the entire Ye Family into the Heavenly Prison.
Even if the Ye Family’s grip on real power was gradually loosening, the Emperor would not easily spare them, not even during the times when the Ye Family wielded considerable influence over the court and the country.
Several colleagues secretly allied with the Prime Minister shared this bit of information with him. After remaining silent for a long while, the Prime Minister returned home and demanded that Ye Shaohua take Mother Ye and leave Imperial City immediately to avoid calamity.
“I won’t go,” Ye Shaohua changed into a goose-yellow brocade dress.
Resplendent and radiant, she had no choice; Mother Ye had thrown away all her male attire, leaving only the popular clothes of Imperial City in the wardrobe.
“I still have some connections in the capital. You take Mother and leave quickly. Your brother’s situation looks bleak, and the Third Prince won’t see me either,” the Prime Minister shook his head slightly.
He thought his intelligent daughter would understand his meaning, but Ye Shaohua shook her head and then sat down in a chair, “Father, the Third Prince is unreliable. Even if he becomes Emperor, he won’t make life easy for our Ye Family. Why not give the throne to another prince?”
“Don’t speak such treacherous and unfilial words!” The Prime Minister exclaimed, looking around in shock, grateful that this was the Ye Residence, where no one could overhear.
“So, Father, I want to see His Majesty,” Ye Shaohua tilted her head, set her teacup on the table, a glint in her eyes.
The Ye family always had a soft spot for Ye Shaohua; with just a few words from her, they would have plucked the moon from the sky if they could. Now the Prime Minister, alone, was even more helpless against her.
Although the Ye Family had fallen from favor, arranging for Ye Shaohua to enter the Palace for an audience with the Emperor was still something the Prime Minister could accomplish.
The Emperor’s complexion was very poor. “Ye Aiqing, have you come to hand over that hidden blueprint?”
“I…” Before the Prime Minister could speak, he was interrupted by Ye Shaohua.
“Your Majesty, the musket blueprint my brother had was indeed inferior. He obtained the blueprint in order to have a master improve the musket for Your Majesty’s tribute. Now, the gun has been improved, and its power is tenfold what it once was.” The Emperor’s presence was intimidating, most people couldn’t even lift their heads before him, but Ye Shaohua, who dined with the President of M Country, was not frightened and spoke at her own unhurried pace.
“Tenfold?” The current potency of the musket already delighted the Emperor, and ten times stronger was a remarkable concept. He stood up from his seat, eagerly walking over to Ye Shaohua, with urgency in his voice, “Bring tea for the Prime Minister and his wife. And the master, where is he now? Have you brought him along?”
“Indeed, the person is…” Ye Shaohua paused, then cast her eyes sideways, leisurely saying, “Yours truly.”
“Pfft—” The tea that had just reached the Prime Minister’s mouth suddenly sprayed out; he didn’t care about being disrespectful in front of His Majesty but frantically signaled to Ye Shaohua with his eyes.
He knew his daughter was always incredibly clever, talented, but this was military hardware! His daughter had never even touched gunpowder; how could she have improved a musket! Lying to the Emperor now, being sent to the Heavenly Prison was a minor issue, he feared an immediate beheading!
He desperately signaled to Ye Shaohua, his eyes nearly twitching, but Ye Shaohua paid him no heed.
Upon hearing Ye Shaohua’s words, the Emperor’s face remained smiling, but his eyes filled with malevolence, “Someone, bring over my brocaded box.”
Soon the palace steward brought the brocaded box, and the Emperor took out a gun, “This musket’s range is ten zhang, with unmatched power. Improve it now. If you deceive me, I will instantly decapitate Ye Huaijin.”
“There’s no need for that,” Ye Shaohua glanced at the musket in the Emperor’s hand and poured out a bunch of black parts from her pocket, “Your gun is of too poor quality, the size and structure are all wrong, affecting the full display of my ability.”
She sat down on the floor as she spoke, and began assembling the parts.
Compared to Bai Zhenzhen, Ye Shaohua had been trained.
In less than a minute, she had completely assembled the scattered parts.
“Your Majesty, see the tree in front of the palace gate? I want its second fruit,” Ye Shaohua said without turning her head, all the while raising the gun.
A “bang” sounded!
The second pear on the tree forty zhang away fell at the shot.
“See?” Ye Shaohua turned her face, a touch of indifference in her voice, “This is real power. That thing in your hand, junk.”
The Emperor was transfixed by such precise shooting and such a long range. It took him a moment to come back to his senses.
The Prime Minister was also stunned, looking at Ye Shaohua and stammering without being able to utter a word.
“Good! Excellent! The Ye family indeed possesses such talent,” Finally, the Emperor snapped out of his daze, unconcerned that Ye Shaohua had called his possessions junk and instead spending a long time looking around Ye Shaohua before breaking into laughter, “Someone, prepare a banquet. I will keep Ye Aiqing’s family for a meal. Steward Li, you personally go to the Heavenly Prison to bring over Secretary Ye.”
This dynasty was quite lenient towards women, and there were women serving as officials.
The Emperor, regarding Ye Shaohua, grew fonder the more he observed her, “The number one talented lady of Imperial City truly lives up to her reputation. Ye Aiqing, having such an outstanding daughter, how could you hide her for three years? You truly deserve punishment.”
“It was I who was curious about the Jianghu in storybooks that I decided to venture out. It had nothing to do with my father,” Ye Shaohua smiled.

Father Ye watched his daughter speaking pleasantly with the Emperor, feeling like he was in a dream.

At the same time, in the General Residence.
Bai Zhenzhen’s handmaiden poured her a cup of tea, her expression filled with pride, “Lady, the whole city is searching for the master craftsman who created the musket blueprint to complete the final step of the musket. If they knew that you were the one behind it, they would be scared to death!”
In the Bai Family, only this handmaiden knew of Bai Zhenzhen’s multiple identities and deeply admired her.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen knew the opportunity she had been waiting for had finally arrived. She curved her lips into a smile, “Send someone to inform the Third Prince, tell him the creator of the musket blueprint wants to meet him.”
Bai Zhenzhen, rest assured, this time, I will certainly avenge you and ensure the Ye Family can never recover.
