[Confiscation and Exile + Divine Farmer Space + Hoarding Grain and Competing for Supremacy + Empress + Satisfying Read + Powerful Leads]
From the start, her family is stripped of everything and exiled. Does the vile emperor expect her to die in the wilderness with her child?
Lu Ci sneers and turns to activate her portable, ten-thousand-acre Divine Farmer Space!
Lingnan is overrun with miasma, and not a blade of grass will grow?
She summons a spirit spring, transforms the saline soil, and fills her granaries with high-yield sweet potatoes and potatoes. She turns a "living grave" into the greatest granary in the world!
Three years later, natural disasters plunge the imperial court into chaos, and the land is strewn with the dead and starving.
The shameless emperor secretly plots to seize her granaries and issues an edict summoning her back to the palace.
The eunuch delivering the decree looks at her arrogantly. "Lady Lu, if you present the emperor with your superior seeds, His Majesty may pardon your crime of exile."
Lu Ci leisurely peels a roasted sweet potato. Behind her, a million well-fed, warmly dressed, fully armed cavalrymen have already surrounded the capital!
Lu Ci smiles. "Pardon me? Go tell that old fool to wash his neck. It's time for someone else to take the throne!"
[Bonus Scene]
On the night of the coup, everyone sees the disfigured, crippled mad war god Xiao Jinghan toss aside his wheelchair and kneel on one knee before Lu Ci, his eyes red as he helps her into her imperial robes.
"A Ci, the million-strong Zhennan Army has cleared the way for you. Tonight... may I have permission to attend you in your chambers?"
