After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" The Crown Prince of Northern Di was overjoyed, snatching the wooden box and holding it in his hands like a precious treasure. "Tell me, shouldn't I present one of these wonderful things to the Emperor of Great Xia?"

Tang Rao's face twitched, and she almost couldn't resist slapping him across the face with a big slap.

She forcefully restrained her impulsive hand and forced a smile: "The Emperor of Great Xia is practically on his deathbed, wouldn't it be a waste to give him such a good thing?"

"My beloved concubine is right!"

The Crown Prince of Northern Di nodded, and before Tang Rao could even relent, he added, "Then give it to Prince Li. He killed so many upright men of Northern Di, why should he stand aside? I've already fallen into the deepest hell, he... should go with me!"

In the end, the Crown Prince of the Northern Barbarians' eyes were filled with madness.

Tang Rao's expression turned slightly cold, but she quickly regained her composure and nestled into his arms with a charming smile: "Your Highness is wise. To the Northern Di, the old emperor is nothing. Prince Li is the one who deserves to die the most."

"My beloved consort understands my heart perfectly!" This was what pleased the Crown Prince of Northern Di the most about Tang Rao; she would always go along with him.

Being with Tang Rao is very comfortable.

However, the thought that the Northern Di had already been invaded and devoured by the Xiaoyao Pill filled him with immense anger.

Thinking of his nemesis Situ Che, who was still alive and well, he felt even more resentful!

The Northern Barbarians were poor in resources, unskilled in farming, and lacked food and medicine.

During the years of fighting against the Great Xia, countless people died and were left in despair.

At this moment, Xiaoyao Pill appeared.

It has a remarkable effect on pain relief, can make people forget their troubles, and is inexpensive, so it was once a god-level painkiller for soldiers.

Even the Crown Prince, who was severely injured by Situ Che, took the Xiaoyao Pill.

But who knew that the life-saving medicine was actually poison?

By the time he came to his senses, the Northern Di had fallen, from the common people to the royal family.

He had considered quitting the Xiaoyao Pill, but even Master Tang Rui needed his disciples to use strong methods to quit it, so how difficult would it be for him to quit?

The Crown Prince of the Northern Barbarians was not like that useless Crown Prince Situ Xiao. He was brave and skilled in battle from a young age, adept at troop deployment, and extremely arrogant.

People around the world have repeatedly placed him and Situ Che on the same level, calling them natural rivals.

But now, he has become like this.

The more the Northern Barbarian prince thought about it, the more agitated he became, and his addiction to drugs began to kick in.

He picked up a pill that Tang Rao had purified and put it in his mouth. In no time, he felt like he was floating on air and hallucinating.

Situ Che was kneeling in front of him, covered in wounds and missing limbs.

"Hahaha... Situ Che, you've finally met your match! Hahaha... Hahaha..."

The Crown Prince of Northern Di burst into wild laughter, staggering to his feet. Grinning maliciously, he charged forward, punching Situ Che repeatedly in the face, his eyes filled with madness: "What good is kneeling here? Can you save Northern Di? You are a sinner, you have committed countless evils, come to the underworld with me, hahahaha…"

However, in the eyes of Tang Rao and the group of trembling palace maids, the Crown Prince of Bei Di was lying on the ground, pounding the ground with his fists.

Even with his hand a bloody mess, he didn't stop.

A fleeting, cold sneer crossed Tang Rao's eyes.

sinner?

You Northern Barbarians are the real sinners who have committed countless evils!

Even if you die, the underworld won't take you.

You are only fit to be wandering ghosts, aimlessly roaming between heaven and earth year after year, atoning for the sins of the wronged souls of the southern barbarians.

Finally, his soul was scattered!

...

Great Xia!

Tang Rui was completely engrossed in her work.

Fortunately, due to the poisoning, he doesn't need to go to the National Academy for the time being.

However, even on his days off, he still had to deal with Granny Yuan.

The mothers were quick and efficient, and soon they had tidied up the shop.

Tang Rui checked the locations of these shops and made a decision before starting to decorate the storefronts.

Of course, Tang Rui's ingenuity played a part in this.

For example, there are anniversary sales events, or waiting areas set up in places like hot pot restaurants.

If you're not going to do it, then forget it; but if you're going to do it, then do it well.

Just as all the cheap moms were busy getting their people to decorate, Manager Deng came knocking, bringing with him the seeds that Tang Rui had been longing for.

"That's right, that's right, these are potato seeds, these are sweet potato seeds, and these are corn seeds." After confirming, Tang Rui looked at the shopkeeper with delight: "Shopkeeper Deng, you're amazing! You found them in such a short time!"

Shopkeeper Deng chuckled and said, "It was quite a coincidence. When I sent the letter back home, my father had just bought these seeds and was planning to try planting them himself to see what he could grow. As soon as he heard that Your Highness needed them, my father immediately sent someone to deliver them to me by fast horse."

"..." Your dad?

Tang Rui looked Deng up and down, quite curious: "Your father must be quite old, right? He's still so energetic?"

Although Manager Deng's status wasn't particularly high, it was slightly better than that of many ordinary people at the bottom of society, and his family should be considered relatively wealthy.

As his father, shouldn't he be enjoying his success and be able to live a life of comfort?

I never imagined I'd end up farming.

Upon hearing this, Manager Deng felt somewhat ashamed: "Your Highness, as you know, my monthly salary used to go to the shop, and I haven't sent any money home for two years. My father knows my situation, and he bought these seeds to try his luck and see if he could make some money to help me out."

Tang Rui nodded in sudden understanding, then asked, "Does your father know how to farm?"

Manager Deng laughed and said, "Of course, I was also born a farmer before becoming a merchant!"

Tang Rui continued, "How old is your father this year? How is his health?"

Shopkeeper Deng's eyes lit up, instantly understanding Tang Rui's meaning. He quickly replied, "Your Highness, although my father is over sixty, he is still quite healthy. In his letter home, he said that he goes hiking every few days and is in excellent spirits!"

"Excellent!" Tang Rui immediately decided, "Your father is in good health and has planted these seeds before, so he must be very experienced. I plan to plant these three kinds of grains on the estate. I wonder if your father would be willing to work for me?"

Manager Deng was overjoyed and immediately knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude: "I am deeply grateful for the Princess's favor. My father is very happy to do so. I will hire some people to go back and bring my father here."

"It is I, the princess, who need your father's help. There is no reason for you to spend money." Tang Rui said, then looked outside: "Big Sister and Second Sister, come here for a moment."

The two brothers arrived upon hearing the commotion, but instead of going inside, they stood at the door and called out, "Princess!"

"Manager Deng will tell you the location later. Go and help me pick up the people. Remember to be polite and don't frighten them."

After Tang Rui finished speaking, she looked at Manager Deng and said, "You can write a letter to the two of them, not just your father, but also any other relatives. Anyone who is willing can come to live in the capital. You don't need to worry about where to stay; they can stay at my estate. If your family members are also willing to grow these grains, we brothers will keep clear accounts, and I will also provide them with a monthly allowance."
