Chapter 121: Danger in the Shadows

Xiao Ling felt a lot better when she heard this, but in the end, she was worried, and the whole person looked like she was out of her mind, Lu Qingjin felt sorry for her, sighed, and asked her to rest.

As soon as Xiao Ling here walked out of the door, Concubine Li came in a hurry, Lu Qingjin looked at the person who was still tired and asked suspiciously; "Aren't you tired and already going to rest, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Concubine Li gasped and waved her hand at Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui put the paper bag in her arms on the table, and Concubine Li spoke; "Of course I'm here for something important, can you see what this is?"

Lu Qingjin carefully opened the paper bag, only to see that there were some sticky powdery things inside, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and quickly twisted a little and sniffed it, and suddenly said with a big change in her expression; "This is something that is dried with gunpowder, if it is used like ordinary gunpowder, the effect is ten times that of the original, and what is even more terrifying is that it will attach to anything and burn and then explode, where did you get it?"

Concubine Li's face turned pale and swallowed her saliva before she said; "One of these points was sent in by my brother, and the other half was found from a little eunuch, who was near the cold palace when he was found, and I think it would be dangerous if we left a little late."

Rao is Lu Qingjin was also in a cold sweat when she heard it, and she asked eagerly; "Did the general say anything when he brought it in?"

Concubine Li's face became even more ugly, and her voice trembled: "My brother said that this is something that Zhao Yunheng transported into the capital, I originally thought it was gunpowder, but who knew that it was wrong when it was intercepted, there are already several ships of this kind of thing in the capital."

Lu Qingjin didn't understand the concept of several ships in the end, but this thing was very dangerous, so she didn't dare to ask carelessly; "Does the emperor already know?"

Concubine Li nodded and added; "Now a group of people who are loyal to the emperor have already gotten the news, but I don't know what Zhao Yunheng is going to do, I don't dare to startle the snake, this is because something happened in the palace, I really can't rest assured that I came to find you."

Lu Qingjin let out a long sigh; "We don't know the reason for this matter yet, we can only send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Yunheng, on the other hand, the guards in the palace must be tightened, and this kind of thing can't be allowed to happen again."

Concubine Li hesitated for a moment but spoke; "You should know that many of the people in the palace were left behind during the period of the first emperor, and some of them secretly worked for the charity mage, and it is no secret that the king of Wei is now in contact with the charity mage, and the guards in this palace are useless even if they are managed militarized."

Lu Qingjin understood what she meant, nodded and said with a straight face; "Then you can only select some people who are really trustworthy to step up the guards, no matter what, you can't do nothing, leave the rest to me, I will send you a list tomorrow, and you can just arrest people."

Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and bowed and left, and the rest of Lu Qingjin sat in place with heavy thoughts, Xiao Fuzi didn't know when he came over, so he bowed and said softly; "The slave is a message to the emperor, the emperor said that you are distressed that the little spirit girl has to be let go, and now that the situation is chaotic, the overall situation is still important."

Lu Qingjin saw that he left after he finished speaking, sighed, got up and went to Xiao Ling's room, Xiao Ling was looking at the door in a trance, and he didn't look a little surprised when he saw Lu Qingjin; "Niang Niang came, but it was much later than I thought."

Lu Qingjin couldn't bear it in his heart, but he still said coldly on his face; "Now that you already know, let's say it, I have no choice, charity has already started on the people in the palace, and the capital is even more precarious, I can't take risks."

Xiao Ling smiled and said helplessly; "I know that after all, you are the queen, originally I thought you should speak when the disaster victims were reclaiming, but I didn't expect it to drag on for so long, and I am satisfied, after all, I still have some status in your heart."

Lu Qingjin couldn't bear to say in a hurry; "You just said the list, and when the time comes, I will naturally protect you when the palace is solid."

Xiao Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head; "You don't know about them, forget it, I'll tell you, and I'll leave the rest to the kid who came with him."

Although Lu Qingjin knew that this matter was not easy for Xiao Ling, he didn't expect Xiao Ling to leave because of this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so Xiao Ling spoke; "I knew from the beginning that I wouldn't stay long, and after I told you about this, I had my way to go, and if I had the opportunity to come back to see you in the future."

Lu Qingjin here took the list tremblingly, Qin Zhao over there was not idle, the prime minister lit the lamp and looked at the information in his hand and sighed; "The current situation is too unoptimistic, and I don't know Zhao Yunheng's purpose, and now we are helpless for a while."

Qin Zhao slammed the table hard: "This King Wei is really getting more and more disagreeable, and I don't know where to get so much money from the south." ”

The prime minister remembered the news that his daughter had spread from the palace, and looked at Qin Zhao, who was still angry, he still chose to shut up, but Ji Chen on the side spoke; "Who knows where this money came from, maybe it's something immoral."

Qin Zhao was thinking of a way, so he didn't pay attention to Ji Chen's meaning, he slowly spoke; "Do you know where the gunpowder went?"

Ji Chen sighed and said; "As far as the latest news is concerned, the gunpowder has been dispersed, a small part has been picked up by charitable people, a small part is missing, and the rest have been transported to Haiyan Building."

Qin Zhao muttered, "It seems that he really doesn't want to let go of Shengshi Pavilion, so there is no way to make all his gunpowder invalid?"

The prime minister stroked his beard and sighed: "If it is ordinary gunpowder, it only needs to be invalidated when it encounters water, but this batch of gunpowder is transported by ship, and there are already waterproof measures, not to mention, I studied it with the general, and found that there was even a lot of fire oil mixed in it, which was unprecedented before." ”

Ji Chen thought for a while and said; "Concubine Li has already delivered the news just now, saying that someone with this kind of gunpowder has been found in the palace, and it is already unscrupulous to think of charity, and the minister hopes that His Majesty will temporarily go out of the palace to avoid danger."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, and then shook his head firmly; "Not to mention that there are so many palace people in the palace, even if I go out, it is not safe, after all, there is still a batch of gunpowder missing."

Ji Chen thought about it and said helplessly; "The minister will try to track it down, but I still hope that His Majesty will make more plans, and as for charity, the minister has already sent someone to invite his junior brother."
