Chapter 447: 237: Turing Tragedy! Zhi Ning Experiences Morning Sickness, Fiancé!_2
Suddenly, he asked Turing Duo in agony, "Do you still look down on me, wanting me to see my own ugly face clearly?"
Upon hearing this, Turing Duo was taken aback, then shook her head and said, "Of course not, Lord Tuli Ming, brother, what do you think of this mirror?"
Lord Tuli Ming took the mirror and was immediately startled.
This mirror, over a foot in size, was so clear and visible, it surpassed any bronze mirror, and even crystal mirrors couldn’t compare.
Turing Duo asked, "Lord, how much do you think this magic mirror is worth?"
Tuli Ming replied, "It depends on how many there are. If there is only one, then it is priceless."
Turing Duo asked, "What if there’s more than one?"
Tuli Ming replied, "Then it depends on how much you want to charge, how many you want to sell. In any case, it’s an astronomical sum of Gold Coins."
Turing Duo said, "This magic mirror was made by Suo Lun. There’s as many as you want."
At these words, both Tuli Ming and Turing Chen trembled, their eyes shining with excitement!
This mirror, with its clarity and brightness that outshone even crystal mirrors, was manufactured, not a treasure excavated from some seabed or cave.
Then, Lord Tuli Ming began to calculate the potential profit, but he gave up.
Because the profit was simply incalculable.
The magic mirror had the attributes of both a necessity and a luxury item, and it was irreplaceable.
Lord Tuli Ming could imagine that once these magic mirrors became popular, for any noble, any lady of high society, not having one of these magic mirrors at home would be extremely shameful.
Therefore, no matter the cost, she would buy one.
"I can’t calculate how many Gold Coins this magic mirror will make," said Lord Tuli Ming. "In any case, it’s a more lucrative industry than the Chaos Stone Salt Field, it could earn perhaps many times more than the salt fields."
Indeed, salt, though lucrative, was transparent after all. Moreover, there were countless salt fields across the Human Kingdom.
But as for this magic mirror, there was only one producer, a complete monopoly.
Turing Duo said, "Now that Suo Lun is dead, the fall of Tian Shui City the Su Family in a month is a foregone conclusion. But in the post-war profit-sharing, there is only Tian Shui City and the Chaos Stone Salt Field. There’s no inclusion of this immensely profitable Magic Mirror Industry. So, why don’t we go now and seize this industry, worth over millions of Gold Coins?"
At these words, Lord Tuli Ming’s heartbeat accelerated.
Turing Duo continued, "Suo Lun had a secret base specifically for manufacturing these magic mirrors. Moreover, when the Luan Yang City Fleet and Linhai City Fleet were patrolling, they once captured a supply ship filled with grain, meat, and various other things. Even though they didn’t know where those supplies were headed, they were certainly meant for some island near the coast of Tian Shui City. Therefore, Suo Lun’s Magic Mirror Industry must also be on some secret island."
Tuli Ming said, "There are at least a hundred islands along the coast of Tian Shui City."
Turing Duo said, "The naval forces of the Su Family are no match for us. Now, you can dispatch a few thousand naval men disguised as pirates to scour through all the islands off the coast of Tian Shui City. You will surely find the secret base of the magic mirror. Once found, our two families will equally share this astronomical wealth, this industry can make our two families incredibly wealthy for hundreds of years."
Immediately, Lord Tuli Ming’s breathing grew rapid, and after a moment, he made up his mind.
"I will mobilize five thousand naval men right away, pretend to be pirates and head south to thoroughly scour through the islands off the coast of Tian Shui City to uncover this Magic Mirror Base," declared Lord Tuli Ming loudly. Then he looked towards Turing Duo and said, "Miss Turing Duo, you were truly born the wrong gender."
These words made Turing Chen beside her faintly uncomfortable.
"Call someone to carry Miss Turing Duo back to the City Lord’s mansion without any jolts, or I will have your legs and arms cut off. Also, send for the best Medical Daoist Monk from the Dragon Temple to come," Lord Tuli Ming continued to give orders.
...
Ten hours later!
Lord Tuli Ming and Turing Chen personally led five thousand naval men and dozens of warships southward.
Arriving at a deserted sea area, they raised the pirates’ flag and charged towards the maritime area of Tian Shui City to search for Suo Lun’s Magic Mirror Base.
This Magic Mirror Industry could bring riches and power for a century!
For the feudal lords, having money meant they could recruit soldiers and buy horses, constantly becoming stronger.
Moreover, the Tuli Family possessed a powerful fleet; having money would also mean building more ships, constantly expanding and occupying islands.
Once the Tuli Family had a thousand warships and an army of over a hundred thousand, they would no longer just be a noble lord.
Therefore, they must seize control of the Magic Mirror Industry.
Inside the manor of Luan Yang City Lord, Turing Duo lay in her luxurious room.
The bed beneath her was incredibly hard because her bones were broken, and she had to sleep on such a hard bed.
At this moment, the room was empty. Dozens of maids were outside, waiting for her any command.
Suddenly, she felt an itch between her thighs and silently reached out to scratch it. Under these wrappings, that area was most prone to itchiness.
But...
Wasn’t she supposed to be paralyzed? She shouldn’t be able to feel the itch.
And her hands were not supposed to move either.
Indeed, after she was thrown down by the Yan Mo, the bones in her legs broke in several places, but her spine and cervical vertebrae were intact.
After the pain, a thought suddenly rose in her. She came up with a way to get out of the marriage contract with Tuli Yang.
So, she had someone shatter several sections of her spine without damaging the marrow or nerves.
Therefore, her paralysis was fake.
She merely wanted to use the appearance of paralysis to make Tuli Yun cancel the marriage; to avoid marrying Tuli Yang, she was completely desperate.
Because, a paralyzed woman cannot bear children. And no heir to a noble lord would ever marry a woman who was infertile.
She was not only cruel to others but even crueler to herself.
...
In a estate of the Yanjing Divine Dragon Sanctuary!
"Ugh..."
"Ugh..."
"Ugh..."
Princess Zhining vomited desperately. Although she had not shown any signs of pregnancy yet, her morning sickness had started about a couple of weeks ago and was getting worse.
Now, she was throwing up everything she ate.
"Miss, your body is a bit weak, so the reaction is so severe," a nanny gently patted her back.
After vomiting, Zhi Ning’s small face was completely pale as she gasped for air.
Then she took a cup of water, rinsed her mouth first, and then took a few sips.
"Bring the food here, I want to eat," Zhi Ning said.
The nanny said, "But, you vomit as soon as you eat it."
"That’s why I must eat," Zhi Ning said. "Otherwise, the child will be malnourished."
Just then, a maidservant’s voice came from outside, "Commandery Princess, Prince Ji Min of the Flame Empire requests to see you."
Zhi Ning shuddered at once.
Ji Min? Her betrothed!
