Chapter 426; What kind of trouble is this?

But not only was it an iron-making furnace, she also fiddled with the things needed to forge steel.

As the first batch of iron came out of the furnace, the astonishing output made Emperor Hongwen excited for a long time.

Lu Yaoyao also made a request at the same time. She needed half of this batch of iron to be used to temper steel.

Emperor Hongwen didn't know what steel was, but he just asked about its use and readily agreed.

He had built a brand new iron-making furnace and provided such superb iron-making technology. He was worried about how to reward him.

It won't be a big deal if you split a little bit of iron.

In two months, the foundation of Lu Yaoyao's mountainside villa has been dug out, and a lot of steel bars and other things have been done.

At the same time, Chengyuan Villa also added many workshops, all of which were built with reinforced concrete.

The soap was finally launched, and the perfume workshop was also moved to Chengyuan Villa.

Nowadays, there are more than six workshops in her villa that are open for business, selling products such as perfume, soap, bricks, cement, ceramic tiles, and one is a blacksmith workshop.

As several workshops were opened to the outside world, the name Chengyuan Villa slowly spread.

There are many merchants and customers coming and going into Chengyuan Villa every day.

And the construction of her commercial street has also become a living sign.

The cement pavement, the houses made of blue bricks, and the shop floors with tiles all make people like them endlessly.

As for glass, Lu Yaoyao has no plans to release it yet.

After all, this thing also has a name in Dongzhou today, Liuli, which is a very precious high-end product.

A small water cup can be sold for tens of thousands of taels.

Besides, this glass is not easy to get, and her own demand is not small, so she still has to use it first.

When your inventory is almost enough, you can then find a way to sell some out and make a lot of money.

After all, the construction of her villa requires a lot of expenses, and the share of Baizhen Tower and those workshops alone is not enough.

She was so busy here that many things were forgotten by him.

However, some people have been worried all day long during these months.

That evening, as soon as King Jin returned to the palace from the iron workshop, Yan Yi came to report that the people who went to Jiangdong had returned.

Upon hearing this, King Jin didn't even care about food, so he asked Yan to take him to the study.

However, as his subordinates reported, King Jin's heart slowly sank, and his face continued to look ugly.

The worst result still occurred.

At the same time, in the imperial study room of the palace, Emperor Hongwen and Wang De were also listening to Huo Di's report.

As he continued to tell, Emperor Hongwen's expression also changed again and again, when the final result came out.

Emperor Hongwen suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise and excitement.

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

"Your Majesty, please don't get excited yet. This is not completely confirmed yet."

Wang De was also very happy at this time, but although there was a high probability that there would be no problem with what Huo Di was investigating, the royal blood still needed to be treated with caution, and it could not be determined by just a few investigations.

"What hasn't been determined yet? Can't I be sure about my matter?"

"She is mine"

"His Majesty."

Wang De immediately stopped Emperor Hongwen's words.

Emperor Hongwen immediately came back to his senses, looked at Huo Di and asked, "Did you just say that during the investigation, you also discovered that someone was also investigating?"

"But the Queen's people?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongwen frowned, and the excitement just now was suppressed a lot.

"How do you say they also investigated it?"

"No, I first investigated and felt that this matter was not trivial, so after I learned some more information, I did some follow-up work. It is impossible for the Queen's people to get the exact situation."

"Good, very good, you did a good job, thank you for your hard work."

After asking Huo Di some more questions, Emperor Hongwen asked him to step aside and rest.

He and Wang De were the only two people left in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the princess is your daughter's business. It cannot be exposed for the time being, otherwise the queen will probably be disadvantageous to her."

"Yes, I understand."

Emperor Hongwen nodded and continued, "It seems that we need to start preparing for some things."

Hearing this, Wang De was speechless, but he knew very well what Emperor Hongwen was going to do.

The next day, the queen also received news from Jiangdong.

However, the news she got was all what Huo Di and King Jin let her know, and there was nothing that she shouldn't know.

"I am worried in vain."

When the news came back, Queen Wang was a little disappointed.

After all, her purpose of investigating Lu Yaoyao was to stop her and Prince Jin. Now that she got such a result, she was really disappointed.

Also disappointed like her was Duke Zhen Guo, who received the same news as Queen Wang.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late."

Late at night, in the Jin Palace, Yan Yi looked at his master who had been absent-minded and silent since he got the news from Jiangdong, and he kept sighing in his heart.

Nature plays tricks on people, it’s really God’s fate that plays tricks on people.

It was not easy for the prince to find a woman he loved, and he wanted to marry her back as a princess. Why did it suddenly become like this?

King Jin did not respond, he just sat there with his head bowed.

The bitterness in his heart at this time was really not enough to explain to outsiders.

The latest time Lu Yaoyao got the news was three days after the Duke of Queenstown.

Moreover, the news she received was also processed news.

"It seems I've thought too much."

She didn't think much about the news brought back by Black Cloud Hunter.

The first thing that came to her mind after saying this was Prince Jin, but she still remembered what she said back then.

"It seems I have to go to the palace when I have time."

However, as soon as she finished her thoughts, someone came from outside to report that someone was coming from the palace, and Your Majesty invited Princess Wanfu to enter the palace.

She didn't think much about it, simply packed up and took the carriage to the palace.

At this time, Emperor Hongwen in the imperial study was in a very excited and complicated mood, pacing back and forth.

Although I have met Lu Yaoyao many times before, never once did she feel as complicated as she does now.

Wang De watched from the side, but felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Although they have been able to confirm Lu Yaoyao's identity, this identity may not be a good thing for her.

"Your Majesty, you."

"I know, hasn't this come yet? I'm just happy. I know very well that there are some things that I can't say."

Wang De immediately stopped talking.

Not long after, the servant outside came to report that Princess Wanfu had arrived.

"Invite her in quickly."

Soon Princess Wanfu walked in.

Emperor Hongwen hadn't spoken yet, but Princess Wanfu spoke first. However, with this opening, Emperor Hongwen suddenly ran away.

"Your Majesty, I ask you to grant me a marriage to the King of Jin."
