"Traitors! Traitors! You are all traitors!" On the earthen fortress walls, Wang Chengheng looked around, meeting cold, unfeeling gazes. His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Wang Chengping and swung his steel sword down with all his might. At that moment, the soldiers behind Wang Chengheng immediately grabbed Wang Chengping and pinned him to the ground. A faint smile appeared on Wang Chengping's lips as he stepped forward and shouted to Xiao Ming below, "Your Highness, I am Wang Chengping. We have captured…-

Twenty miles north of Qingzhou City. This was the location of the Wang family estate. At this moment, the fortress walls were lined with the Wang family’s private soldiers. The fortress was constructed entirely of compacted earth, with walls twelve meters high and five meters thick. At each corner of the walls stood a watchtower, each manned by over a dozen archers aiming their bows at the Qingzhou army outside. Inside the fortress, the Wang family’s retainers and private soldiers were busy…

The next day, Qingzhou Prison. Xiao Ming personally escorted Princess Pingyang to interrogate the Wang father and son. At this point, Xiao Ming had Lu Fei bring Wang Xuan out of the prison to confront the Wang family. In the Qingzhou government office, Xiao Ming sat in the main seat, while Princess Pingyang sat to the side. "Wang Chengchou, Wang Shijie, do you two know your crimes?" In the government office, Wang Shijie and his father knelt on the ground alongside Wang Xuan. Wang Chengchou was still…

The Qingzhou prison was dimly lit, and Princess Pingyang’s final words extinguished Wang Chengchou’s last glimmer of hope. He laughed bitterly, "Your Highness, I, Wang Chengchou, swear to the heavens that this assassination attempt has nothing to do with the Wang family. It was all orchestrated by him—the Prince of Qi!" Wang Chengchou pointed at Xiao Ming, his eyes filled with deep hatred. He regretted not acting on the hint from Prince Wei three years ago to kill Xiao Ming. Unfortunately, it was…

Wang Family Residence. A loud slap echoed through Wang Chengchou's study. Inside the study, Wang Shijie knelt on the floor, a bright red handprint on his right cheek. "You fool! If it had been anyone else today, you’d already be dead! I’ve told you time and again not to lose yourself in women, but you’ve forgotten everything! With such behavior, how do you expect to achieve anything great in the future?" Wang Chengchou’s chest heaved with anger, clearly furious. Wang Shijie clutched his face,…

"Someone attempted to assassinate Her Highness, and we are in pursuit," the golden-armored guard shouted. Lu Fei exclaimed in shock, "Who would dare to assassinate Her Highness? Men, follow me to capture the assassin!" With that, Lu Fei led a group of cavalry to follow the golden-armored guards in the direction Wang Xuan had fled. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Xiao Ming. The golden-armored guards had no reason to doubt Lu Fei and galloped ahead, with Lu Fei following closely behind. Their…

"Your Highness, this man has been secretly staring at you throughout the banquet. Such disrespect is unacceptable!" The sudden outburst caught everyone off guard. It was only then that Wang Chengchou realized what had happened. He quickly stood up and apologized, "Your Highness, my son meant no harm. It’s just that Your Highness’s beauty is unparalleled, and he was momentarily captivated." Princess Pingyang chuckled upon hearing this. "You certainly know how to flatter. Since everyone here is a…

Qi Prince's Residence. Princess Pingyang stepped down from her carriage and, upon seeing the scenery within the prince's residence, frowned slightly. In Chang'an, she was accustomed to luxurious mansions. Compared to those, the Qi Prince's residence was indeed rather shabby. The residence lacked the auspicious qilin statues at its entrance, the plaque above the gate wasn't gilded, and even the door knockers were rusted—details that seemed unbefitting of a prince's status. Noticing Princess Pingyang's…

"Fifteen million taels!" Princess Pingyang nearly jumped to her feet in shock. Xiao Ming nodded silently. Her expression stiffened for a moment before Princess Pingyang forced a smile and said, "I didn’t realize that the Prince of Qi is now so wealthy." "Compared to you, Auntie, I’m still far behind. I’ve heard that your assets in Chang'an are quite substantial," Xiao Ming flattered her. "So, what do you think about this matter…?" "Forget it. Since you’ve already made agreements with so many…

"Now, the green ore in front of you is called green vitriol. I've already taught you about this before. Previously, we didn’t have the experimental instruments to work with it, but now that we have these chemical tools, today I will demonstrate how to use green vitriol to produce sulfuric acid. After this experiment, you will be responsible for the production of sulfuric acid," Xiao Ming said. By now, these individuals had mastered the basics of chemistry. In Xiao Ming's view, they had at least the…
