The Princess's Path to the Throne 22

On this night, the lights in the Princess Jiayang's mansion continued to burn brightly. And in a village outside the capital, the lamps were still ablaze as well.

Liang Zhongyun, who had been called "foolish" by Xie Mingwang and Shen Qi, was carefully and patiently assembling the musket in his hands.

"Father, it's done!" Liang Zhongyun exclaimed excitedly, clutching the musket handle, eager to go out and give it a try.

Marquis Weiyuan stopped him, saying, "It's too late now. The night is quiet, and the sound of the musket is loud. We should be more caution."

"Father, let's make more of these. When the time comes, we can present them to the Emperor, and he will surely take notice of me!" Perhaps, in his great joy, the Emperor might even bestow upon him a noble title or promote him in rank…

Marquis Weiyuan's eyes flickered slightly.

Compared to Liang Zhongyun, he had a deeper understanding of the Emperor.

The Emperor was a person prone to suspicion and paranoia.
