The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands-Chapter 178: Rambling on
Chapter 178
If Han Country really goes to war with that 100,000-strong army, how many casualties will there be?
Every person on the battlefield is a living, breathing life.
Their identities could be a son of an elderly couple, a father to young children, or a woman's husband.
So, it's better to avoid fighting if possible and try to avoid direct conflict!
While pondering, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but think of the rainstorm reward given to her by the dog system.
Hopefully, the reward from the dog system will have a good effect!
Just as Lin Zaozao was lost in thought, Han Ye walked in from outside.
"Zhuzhu!"
"Han Ye, how is it? Is the military defense map given to us by Princess Yezhao genuine?"
"Zaozao, that military defense map is half true and half false. It only has a tiny bit of use for us.
As for the antidote she gave to cure Ruqiu's poison, once we give it to Ruqiu, the antidote will be subjected to another kind of poison.
Zaozao, the words of Ye Zhao and Ye Mu, the twin sisters, are not trustworthy. You should be careful when dealing with them in the future."
"Han Ye, I understand. To be honest, as soon as I saw them, I knew they had ulterior motives.
Now that we still have Princess Yemu in our hands, I'm not afraid of Ye Zhao doing anything out of line.
Even if Princess Yemu ends up as a pawn, I'm not afraid.
Two princesses without any military power, what can they do?
Besides, I don't believe they would dare to offend me too much for the sake of their own lives. After all, whether they can survive or not depends on my mood." 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂
Lin Zaozao propped up her chin and analyzed confidently. After finishing her analysis and seeing that Han Ye didn't respond to her words, she looked at him and asked.
"Han Ye, how is the assembly of our troops in Han Country? Are we confident in dealing with the 100,000 troops from Canglan and Fengshuo?"
"Zhuzhu, Han Country's troops have already been assembled at the border under Uncle Zhang's command.
To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I have brought the members of the Divine Doctor Clan to Han Country.
As for the wealth secretly transferred to Han Country by Ruoye, I haven't touched it.
That is your decision to make when you arrive."
"Han Ye, let Ruoye handle the wealth brought by Ruoye herself. Oh, Ruoye, I have something good to give you."
As she spoke, Lin Zaozao took out the recipe for making glass from her waist pouch and handed it to Ruoye.
"Ruoye, use this recipe to produce glass in large quantities.
Glass is a great thing, whether it's used for tableware or building houses, it's all fantastic.
Most importantly, the cost of this stuff is low, and even ordinary people can afford it. With this recipe, we're sure to make a big profit."
Upon hearing Lin Zaozao's words, Ruoye took the recipe from her and carefully examined Lin Zaozao's messy handwriting for a while.
After a while, when he finally understood, his hands couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
The glass used among the royal nobility, known as liuli, is not only expensive, but it is also impossible to be widely used among ordinary people.
But this glass is different. Not only is its production cost low, but the process is also much simpler compared to making liuli.
With this glass-making formula, Ruo Qiu could increase his wealth even more.
As long as he could provide enough wealth early on, there would be more assurance in bringing Canglan and Fengshuo under Han Country's control.
"Han Ye, show me the military defense map of Han Country's border. Let's discuss it thoroughly so that we can determine our next move."
"Alright, Zhu Zhu."
Han Ye replied warmly.
"Oh, Xiao Taohua, since you're skilled in poisoning, why don't you give something to the Crown Prince of Fengshuo? It would be best if you can have his life in your hands.
As long as he obeys, it will be more convenient for us in our future endeavors.
I don't want to be busy upfront while the Crown Prince causes trouble behind my back."
Upon hearing Lin Zaozao's words, Xiao Taohua couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He looked at Lin Zaozao and asked tentatively.
"Zaozao, the Crown Prince of Fengshuo is also an exceptionally handsome man. Most importantly, he doesn't have a wife yet.
Zaozao, don't you feel anything for that Crown Prince? No attraction at all?"
After hearing Xiao Taohua's sour words, Lin Zaozao suppressed the laughter in her eyes and turned to him with a grin.
"Listening to Xiao Taohua, are you suggesting that I take the Crown Prince as my husband?
Alright, since my little Taohua is so magnanimous, I'll sleep with that Crown Prince right now and make him my husband.
It's just sleeping with a man! For me, if I don't sleep, it's a waste. And once I sleep, I still want to sleep more."
"Lin Zaozao, how dare you! If you dare to sleep with the Crown Prince, I'll poison him to death right now!"
Hearing Xiao Taohua's threatening voice, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Whether it was her peculiar interests or hobbies, every time she saw Xiao Taohua get jealous, Lin Zaozao found it amusing.
Lin Zaozao walked up to Xiao Taohua and gently hugged him.
"Xiao Taohua!"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Taohua sulked.
"My heart is not big, and besides you all, I won't take any other lovers.
As for that Crown Prince, to be honest, I never thought about taking him as a lover.
Don't be fooled by his scholarly appearance. He's just as cunning as you, if not more.
Besides, ever since I put on this mask, every handsome guy I see becomes ugly in my eyes.
Just like now, when I look at your face, your handsome face appears as a big donkey head in my eyes.
Especially those long, floppy ears of yours, they're truly ugly."
"What? You're saying my head looks like a donkey head!!!"
Hearing Xiao Taohua's raised voice, Lin Zaozao instinctively moved her body backward.
"Xiao Taohua, you can't blame me for this! If you want to blame someone, blame the mask on my face. Through it, I see everyone as ugly creatures, no matter how handsome they are.
You are so handsome, if I saw you looking the same through the mask, wouldn't that mean that my little Taohua is not good-looking?
How can my little Taohua not be good-looking? Because my little Taohua is the most beautiful peach blossom in the world.
In short, Taohua, be careful when you poison that Qianhang Grand Prince later.
Although he appears gentle and refined on the surface, he is deceitful in his heart."
"I know. What's the use of his deceitful heart? If he dares to disrespect me, I'll poison him."
"Good, if he dares to harm you, you can poison him directly. Also, after I repel the hundred thousand armies of Canglan and Fengshuo, I'll leave the Nightfall Princess who harmed you to your discretion.
You can kill, torture, I don't care."
"Zaozao, I have already poisoned Yechao and Yemu. Without the antidote I prepared, they will surely live a miserable life.
Zaozao, I have already avenged our grievances. Let's stop here. Going too far might damage our karma."
"Alright, it's up to you to decide."
After leaving Xiao Taohua's embrace, Lin Zaozao glanced at Hanye and turned to walk towards the study.
After all, dealing with the hundred thousand armies of Canglan and Fengshuo was not a trivial matter.
If she mishandled it, there would be countless casualties.
Although her mother had taught her that as an emperor, it was inevitable to have casualties, it would be best to minimize unnecessary bloodshed.
Tomorrow, she would see if the system's cheat device, which causes rain and thunder, was effective or not.
In any case, she had to handle both matters.
If the system's cheat device didn't work, then she would have to face the hundred thousand troops of Canglan and Fengshuo head-on.
After finishing the conversation with Hanye in the study, it was already late at night.
Lin Zaozao rubbed her slightly confused head, let out a long sigh, and walked towards her sleeping quarters.
"Zhu Zhu, do you want me to accompany you?"
"Hanye, it's getting late. You should go rest! I'm afraid that if you sleep by my side, I won't be able to control my eyes and drooling.
Because I really don't want to sleep with a mask on. Although it looks cool to wear the mask, it's uncomfortable after a while."
"Alright, then Zhu Zhu, rest early!"
After bidding farewell to Hanye, Lin Zaozao turned and headed towards her own room.
After a simple wash, Lin Zaozao took out the photo her parents had left her from under her pillow.
Her parents in the photo were young and smiling brightly.
Although her mother, like her, was reborn, her body and appearance were exactly the same as in the original world.
"Old man, Mom, I don't think being an empress is fun at all.
It's really exhausting! Being an empress is truly not a job for humans.
Old man, aren't you a genius scientist? Why don't you invent a time-travel device and take me back?"
To be honest, I still prefer the days when I was at home, living a life of idleness and waiting for death.
These past few days, I feel like my brain cells are being squeezed dry. The people here, one by one, are so cunning and deceitful.
Every word they say, they have to chew on it a hundred thousand times in their own minds.
Mom, I want to go home...
But I can't bear to leave my husband and brothers.
They're all living such difficult lives, and if I were to leave them, their days would only become even more miserable.
I can't bear to part with them. I don't want to see them suffer anymore.
You once said that sometimes in life, you have to be tough! You have to be ruthless!
But when it comes to facing my husband and brothers, my heart can never toughen up...
Lin Zaozao held a photo and rambled on as she slowly drifted into dreamland.
When Lin Zaozao closed her eyes and her breathing gradually became steady, a figure appeared by her bedside.
