Li Yunxing nodded and approved the fifth prince's plan.

When Li Fengke mentioned this carpentry work, he was very excited. This breakthrough design may bring completely different effects.

"Your Highness, this catapult is really wonderful. I don't know who this master is from. The emperor also wants to learn from him!"

Li Yunxing smiled, you can't tell him it came from hundreds of years later, right?

"Little things that I usually come up with."

Li Fengke was even more shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to have such experience in wood art.

He even felt that there was a huge gap between him and the prince, and looked at Li Yunxing with even more reverence.

It's a good thing that something is made, but it doesn't mean it can be used.

If this catapult is revealed, it is hard for Li Yunxing to imagine whether it will be leaked to foreign countries, and then it will be like shooting himself in the foot.

Li Yunxing glanced at the fifth prince who was looking at the drawings repeatedly. He was very interested in this kind of thing.

Even Li Yunxing looked at him repeatedly without any reaction.

Jin Xi was the smarter one, looked at the fifth prince and coughed twice.

"Ahem...Fifth Prince..." he reminded in a low voice.

Li Fengke just looked up from the drawings, with a faint smile on his face.

When I met Li Yunxing's inquiring eyes, I suddenly felt that I had lost my composure and immediately restrained myself.

"This...His Royal Highness is indeed His Royal Highness. Even this drawing is much better than others."

This Li Fengke praises others so much that they stumble a bit.

Li Yunxing was not angry. Li Fengke was different from the powerful officials in the court. Although he was adopted into the name of the late empress and should have enjoyed the same food and clothing expenses as him, Li Fengke was famously frugal.

Almost all of my usual monthly salary is used to purchase wood and tools, and I rarely pay attention to anything else.

Especially after Li Yunxing was established as the crown prince, Li Fengke treated him even more politely, for fear that others would misunderstand him and say that he wanted to curry favor with him.

Therefore, facing Li Fengke, Li Yunxing was more laissez-faire and ignorant.

For such people, if they want to be alone in this harem, which is like a thorny harem, the best thing is to have less involvement with them.

Now Li Fengke actually came to his door, which surprised Li Yunxing.

"Royal brother, I just acted on impulse and took you to look at the drawings. I haven't asked you yet. Why did you come to see me today?"

"I..." Li Fengke was asked and began to hesitate.

This asked the prince to pardon Concubine Wan, how should he speak.

Li Yunxing was not in a hurry and waved to Jin Xi to prepare some tea and food.

Jin Xi was also very sensible and immediately sent someone to do it. He also ordered people to add ice cubes in the room.

To say that this ice cube is a treasure in the palace, each person's monthly share of ice is limited.

As the Prince of the Supervisory State, Li Yunxing had to set an example, so he rarely used ice in the palace.

From this point of view, he also attaches great importance to this fifth prince.

"Emperor brother, don't be nervous. You and I are considered brothers. The Queen has always treated you as her own son, so the Emperor brother is naturally on your side." Li Yunxing looked gentle.

Li Fengke nodded, and finally swallowed, "Thank you, brother."

Li Yunxing drank a sip of tea brewed with well water and felt refreshed all over.

"How is your mother and concubine doing lately?" Li Yunxing asked casually.

Hearing this, Li Fengke was shocked. How did the Crown Prince know that he would go to the harem in normal times?

That's a forbidden area in the palace. The prince won't punish him for this, right?

Seeing through the other party's thoughts, Li Yunxing continued, "Don't be nervous, the affairs of the harem cannot be hidden from my eyes. Visiting my mother is a filial piety, and I will not stop it."

"His Royal Highness, my brother...my brother came here this time because he wanted to..."

"I would like to ask for a favor from His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"What gift?"

"I hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can...pardon my mother and concubine in the future."

Li Yunxing understood what he meant, smiled softly, and took another sip of tea.

"Emperor brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm being watched by too many people now, and Concubine Wan has been thrown into the cold palace by her father. I don't have the power to take back the emperor's will. If the court is allowed to

The ministers in the palace know this and are afraid that it will cause a lot of rumors! By then, even if I have ten lives, I will not be able to escape punishment."

Seeing that Li Yunxing was in trouble, Li Fengke hurriedly knelt down and said sincerely: "Your Highness, please pray as a brother and save Concubine Wan! I am willing to die for my mother and concubine."

Li Yunxing is not pretending, letting Concubine Wan go is a small matter, but will Concubine Wan really be willing to leave the palace?

She loves power so much that she goes crazy, how could she be willing to leave this glory and wealth?

Although Li Yunxing did not have a deep relationship with her, he also knew her character.

Li Fengke saw the hesitation in the prince's eyes, gritted his teeth and continued to admonish: "Your Highness, please trust me!"

"This is not a question of whether you believe it or not, but whether your mother-in-law wants to be free or to be a concubine. Have you ever thought about this?"

Li Yunxing asked rhetorically.

"..."

Li Fengke remained silent.

Of course he had considered it, but he knew more clearly that no matter what wrong things Wan Fei had done, she was his mother after all, and he should always do his best to keep her safe, right?

Seeing this, Li Yunxing softened his expression and persuaded: "Brother, I can promise you to protect Concubine Wan's life. At least when I am here, her life will not be threatened."

"But." The words suddenly changed, and Li Yunxing's voice was a bit sharp, "What if I am not here? Who will protect her and let her live well?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fengke lowered his head, clenched his hands until they turned blue, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly.

It is natural to be rejected, who told him...

But why are you so unwilling?

Looking at Li Fengke who was in pain, Li Yunxing sighed and shook his head, stood up and patted Li Fengke's shoulder, comforting him: "If you want to work hard, I can help you."

Help? How to help?

Li Yunxing had a smile on his face. He quite admired this Fifth Emperor's brother, but his personality was really unpleasant.

That's all, in that case, let's help him.

"I know that you have always been obsessed with woodcraft and don't know much about many things in the court."

"I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do. In this case, I will hand over the blueprint of this thunder cannon to you, and you will personally polish this first thunder cannon for me."

"Thunderbolt?" Li Fengke asked.

"That's right, I just got a name for the new catapult." Li Yunxing smiled, his eyes full of pride.

"One is like the blue sky thundering, the second is like the fire trees and silver flowers shining on the nine continents, the third is like the cycle of birth and death of all things, and the fourth is like the stars falling and destroying the world."
