Chapter 195: Startling Steps 8 Fu Jin 25
Minghui asked in her heart, "The Four Concubines were involved, right?"
555 nodded, "Binggo! Concubine De and Concubine Hui are both involved."
Minghui's mind suddenly became clear. She understood that it was indeed Kangxi's favor towards her that aroused the jealousy of others.
They might be able to get along peacefully on normal days, but ever since I became pregnant, those people could no longer hold back and became increasingly chaotic.
After all, Kangxi is still energetic and shows no signs of decline. Perhaps they also expected that Kangxi would be able to wait for his child to grow up smoothly?
And this is exactly what they cannot tolerate.
Who would want the fruits of their lifelong efforts to be easily taken away by others?
Once Kangxi eliminates the threat from the Imperial Household Department, their true colors will be exposed before his eyes. At that time, all their calculations and conspiracies will be exposed.
Minghui raised the corners of her lips, gently touched her belly, and whispered, "My dear child, this world does not belong to those brothers who grew up too early. Your Royal Father, if you live longer, it will naturally be of great benefit to us."
It’s just a pity that Jiulong was born at the wrong time, and his own children will be the ultimate winners.
"That's right, Su Yue, the Eighth Prince's mother just died. She looked so sick and skinny. Hehe, it's really disgusting to look at her."
Minghui listened to 555's childish voice and her smile became more sincere. She became happier.
Is there anything more gratifying than killing your enemy from your previous life?
At the Fourth Prince's residence, Ruoxi's injuries had fully healed. During this period, the Fourth Prince had not treated Ruoxi well and had not even visited her.
Ruoxi also understood that the Fourth Prince was feeling resentful because of being punished by Emperor Kangxi, so she did not force him.
But because of this, people in the mansion thought that she had fallen out of favor, and Li couldn't stand Ruoxi even more.
Originally, she was the one most favored by Yinzhen, but everything changed since Ruoxi entered the mansion.
And Fu Jin would only say that everything depends on the prince's wishes.
So Li's maid blatantly snatched away the dishes ordered by Ruoxi in the big kitchen.
How could Ruoxi be someone who could tolerate such humiliation?
She rushed into Li's yard with Qiaoxin.
The people sent by the Fourth Prince to the farm have been checking the strength of the several cement walls that have been built in the past few days. As they watch, they improve the ratio, mix it again, put it aside to dry, and then record it.
After trying this for dozens of times, the craftsmen finally smiled as they looked at the cement wall in front of them that had become hard and could not be kicked.
Behind him, Su Peisheng, who had been paying attention, asked quickly, "Did it work?"
"Exactly!"
The craftsman nodded slightly.
Su Peisheng quickly called over the ten soldiers who had been prepared, intending to experiment with them. "Go, push with your hands and kick with your feet!"
The big men grinned and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Su. We can knock down this one-foot-thick stone wall with just a gentle push."
Then, the big men bent down slightly and pushed hard against the half-man-high stone wall in front of them.
"Ok?"
Several people were puzzled as the wall didn't move at all!
The big men's faces flushed slightly, and they were ready to start over again, trying harder.
"Wow! Ha!..."
The stone wall only shook slightly.
"How can this be?"
The big men looked at each other, a hint of shock flashed in their eyes, and the contempt in their hearts was completely put away.
The men looked at each other, took a few steps back at the same time, and then ran towards the stone wall, finally pushing hard.
The stone wall was still shaking slightly, but did not fall down.
Su Peisheng was also very surprised, and then said, "Go and get each of them a sledgehammer."
"Yes!"
The craftsmen were also excited at this moment. Before, they didn't know the solidification degree of the cement, and they had never dared to knock or touch it hard.
Only now did they realize that the cement they had calcined these days was so strong?
If it was used to build bridges, there wouldn't be so many refugees!
After taking the sledgehammer, the big men grinned subconsciously. The concrete stone wall in front of them was so damn solid that it hurt their feet.
"Boom!"
As the sledgehammer hit the stone wall hard, several cracks appeared on it, but it did not break.
“It’s so strong?”
“Even if it’s a real boulder, it’s only like this, right?”
Su Peisheng and a group of craftsmen around him all subconsciously opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with shock.
Looking at the marks on the stone wall in front of them, the pupils of several big men shrank. Only they knew how strong they were.
After one hammer blow, it didn't even break completely?
Thinking of this, several big men couldn't help but look at each other, and after encouraging each other, they hit it hard again.
This time, the stone wall finally broke!
Everyone was amazed at the strength of the cement.
Su Peisheng quickly got on the carriage and hurried back to the Fourth Prince's residence. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "Prince! It's amazing!"
"What's making you so panicked? Could it be that the cement is really out?"
Yinzhen asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, Your Highness. It is very solid! The cement that Princess Ruoxi asked the craftsmen to develop was successful. The walls built with that cement are hundreds of times stronger than glutinous rice mortar. It is as solid as a boulder! Ten big men in the army took sledgehammers and smashed it with all their strength several times before they broke it!"
At this moment, Su Peisheng reported to Yinzhen with an excited look on his face. Yinzhen had already lost his usual composure. "Really?"
"It is absolutely true!"
Yinzhen nodded slightly, "I will go and check it out myself now."
As soon as Yinzhen stepped out of the door, he quickly retracted his foot, as he had to bring Ruoxi along for this matter.
So he rushed to Ruoxi's yard, but did not see Ruoxi. Instead, he learned that Ruoxi had a conflict with Li and the two were in Li's yard.
When Yinzhen saw the two of them, their hair was disheveled and they were fighting and scolding each other. Li's head was covered with food residue, and Ruoxi was riding on Li's body and pinching her waist with all her might.
"stop!"
Yinzhen shouted coldly.
"What are you doing? How shameless!!"
Li cried bitterly, "Your Highness, please help me! It was just that the kitchen made a mistake and sent the meal ordered by Princess Ruoxi to me. She rushed into my yard and shouted for killing, and the soup splashed all over my head and face..."
Ruoxi just stood there with an unconvinced look on her face, without explaining.
In the past, Yinzhen was used to Li's tricks, but wouldn't Ruoxi be useful? Even if he thought Ruoxi was a street shrew, he had to protect Ruoxi.
So he interrupted directly, "Enough! It seems that I have indulged you too much on weekdays. I will fine you three months' salary and make you copy scriptures and pray for Ruoxi in the yard. You will be confined for one month!"
Li couldn't believe it, but Yinzhen just took Ruoxi away.
After Ruoxi was cleaned and turned back into a beautiful girl, Yinzhen told her the news that cement had been successfully developed, and the two of them went to the farm together.
After looking at the cement wall, Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "You can mix some more small gravel into it. If possible, you can also insert some iron bars in it. When it is dry and hard, it will not break easily even if you hit it with a hammer."
Naturally, what happened at the Fourth Prince's farm was reported to Kangxi by the secret guards.
Kangxi's eyes flashed. It seemed that this Ruoxi must have some secret. It was time for him to make arrangements.
Minghui was also surprised to learn from 555 that Ruoxi had made the cement. It turned out that Ruoxi, a love-minded office worker, could actually succeed.
Those craftsmen must have put in a lot of hard work.
