The Plan To Save The Second Female Lead, Complete Failed [GL]

CHAPTER 114

Time passed quietly, spring passed, and it was the most difficult summer for You Ning.

Fortunately, there are more ice blocks in the two states now. In addition to the ice stored in the basement in winter, the technology of making ice with saltpeter has also been figured out by the Ministry of Industry.
　　
However, the ice produced by saltpeter making is still limited, and the Ministry of Industry is still thinking about how to improve it.
　　
What the superior likes, the subordinates will follow. As the most honorable princess in the two states suffered from the summer, the subordinates would certainly think of ways to make her happier.

You Ning once again lamented that she was an evil feudal class, otherwise how could she have such treatment.
　　
When she read novels before, she saw that those protagonists could actually lead the peasants to revolt from the bottom, and even promote the concept of equality for all, when she read them, she thought they were too slow and not very good.

When she really got to the top, she even took great pains to fill the stomachs of her subjects.
　　
She also had to plan for the supreme position, which was even more difficult.

For this position, she had many plans. After the harvest in the autumn of that year, You Ning asked Shi Jinyu to guard the two states, and she took a lot of food, female officials and many people to the southwest Qiongzhou with the army.
　　
The late emperor made a lot of preparations for his son to successfully ascend the throne. His illegitimate son was raised without any ability. He was sent to a place where no one would live for a reason. He was not even seen at the previous palace banquet.
　　
And her eldest daughter was enfeoffed to the bitter and cold northwest.

If the foreign tribes at the border broke the city gate, the first one to suffer would be You Ning. She would fight to the death for herself, which would definitely give You Cheng a lot of buffer time.
　　
As for Qiongzhou in the southwest, You Ning and You Cheng's uncle and the late queen's younger brother were left.

Their uncles have been stationed at the border and will not leave Qiongzhou.
　　
In the southwest and northwest, the two lords of You Cheng were left, so he could naturally be safe.
　　
The late emperor had good intentions, but he didn't expect that his daughter You Ning would be betrayed. She and You Cheng had no sibling relationship, and she was obsessed with the position, and even brought a large cart of food to visit her uncle.

Qiongzhou was much poorer than the two states. There were ambitious foreign races outside this barren place.

The emperor's uncle Sun Ze had been guarding the city with his wife and children for more than ten years, and was the most solid border of Feng Dynasty.
　　
You Ning's team came from the interior again in a mighty manner. Sun Ze naturally saw it. He also sent sentries to check. He was relieved when he learned that it was his niece.
　　
When the uncle and nephew met, Sun Ze asked in surprise, "Why is Your Highness here?"
　　
Qiongzhou and Ancheng are definitely not close. Although it is not as far as going to the capital, it takes at least half a month on the road.

You Ning traveled a long distance with things here, and it must not be as simple as just visiting.
　　
After a few polite words, they sat down in the main hall of the mansion. You Ning asked Sun Ze to dismiss his men, then he sighed worriedly, "Uncle, there is something I don't know whether I should say, and I don't know what to do."
　　
Sun Ze looked at this niece whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, the eldest princess who was above one man and below ten thousand people, and looked at her for a long time before speaking, "Your Highness, please feel free to say it."
　　
You Ning took a deep breath, and then slowly said,
"It's all for my brother!" She said slowly, "The emperor asked me to return to the capital to report on my work some time ago, and I went. But when I arrived in Beijing, I heard rumors everywhere, saying that the emperor favored his concubine and killed his wife, and that there was a demon concubine who was a disaster to the country... I was naturally unfortunate, but when it was at the palace banquet, the concubine asked me for the beloved thing that the prince consort gave me, and the emperor even helped her."
　　
When she said this, Sun Ze had a headache, because as a man and a military general, listening to such trivial matters was a headache for him.
　　
But before he could interrupt, You Ning changed the subject, "I didn't take it to heart, but not long after that, the emperor wasted money and effort to find a fox skin without any stray hairs for the concubine. Now it's getting worse and worse, and everything has to be given to the concubine. But he is the emperor! How can he focus on a woman and ignore the affairs of state!"
　　
Although she didn't have such thoughts in her heart, she had to speak sincerely to lure her uncle into a trap.
　　
Seeing that You Ning spoke seriously, Sun Ze's eyes darkened.
　　
You Ning didn't miss any of her uncle's expressions, and of course she didn't miss this point. You Ning can place spies in the capital. As a family with generations, how could the Sun family not have spies in the capital.
　　
What she said was also very scary, nine out of ten were true, and I'm afraid that what Sun Ze heard was mostly true.
