Chapter 123: Mercury
When he was almost finished, Lu Qingjin wiped his mouth with the handkerchief on his body before he said; "You've probably heard about last night's incident, so I'm not here today just to tell me about this new way to eat."
Concubine Shu shook her fan and said; "It's just one of the aspects, but I'm not in a hurry, I got up early in the morning to receive news from home, saying that the gunpowder matter is imminent, I don't want to tell you."
Lu Qingjin looked at her with some doubts; "You mean you have a way to deal with this gunpowder?"
Concubine Shu sat up straight and shook her head; "I'm not sure if this method is feasible, but I heard the old man who returned from the East say that there is such a thing overseas, and I didn't believe it at the time, and I don't remember much of the details, but I heard the old man say that mercury may be controllable."
Lu Qingjin only felt like a Daigo empowerment and said happily; "You have such a good idea, why didn't you tell the emperor earlier?"
Concubine Shu said with some embarrassment; "You also know that Prince Huren hasn't left recently, my identity is embarrassing, and I really don't know whether this method is true or false, so I can only discuss it with you secretly for the sake of insurance."
Lu Qingjin said as he walked back and forth; "This should work, I've heard of it, but where to find mercury for a while?"
Concubine Shu should have finally put her mind at ease, and took a fruit to nibble on: "You don't know!" There is a water galaxy near this imperial city, although it is only a small one, but one of them should be enough. ”
Lu Qingjin was stunned and hurriedly asked Qinglan to spread the news, and Concubine Shu smiled when she saw her: "Yesterday, when Concubine Xian was drunk, she told me that you are an acute person, so it seems that her words are not wrong at all." ”
Lu Qingjin was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly said eagerly: "You said that Concubine Xian was still drunk with you yesterday?" When will she go back to her palace? ”
Concubine Shu was so frightened that she almost threw out the fruit in her hand; "What's going on? Concubine Xian has been in my palace for a long time, and she hasn't been back at all last night. ”
Lu Qingjin's face turned pale for a moment, and he reluctantly said after a while: "Last night, the emperor received a message from Concubine Xian, saying that he already knew the whereabouts of the third batch of gunpowder. ”
Concubine Shu's voice trembled and said: "This is impossible, we didn't know that there was a third batch of gunpowder last night, and my news was sent from home tonight, and we discussed the affairs of this harem with you, and Concubine Xian had no courage to face the emperor, this is definitely not what we did." ”
Lu Qingjin closed his eyes and said helplessly: "It seems that it is another conspiracy, I don't know what the purpose is, but unfortunately it's too late." Otherwise, you can follow the vine. ”
Concubine Shu thought for a while before saying, "Go and tell the emperor!" This matter should not be underestimated, I will go to Concubine Xian to take a look, since I want the emperor to believe that it must be someone who is next to Concubine Xian, maybe there is still a chance to find out. ”
Lu Qingjin felt a tight feeling in his heart, and inexplicably had a bad premonition, so he didn't say much at the moment, turned around and walked towards the imperial study, but he hadn't arrived yet
An explosion was heard in the study.
She followed the prestige and saw that the wolf smoke in the imperial study had become a sea of fire, and before she could speak, she heard Qin Zhao's voice sounding not far away: "Go and see what's going on, and by the way, go to the queen's palace to remind the queen to be careful." ”
Lu Qingjin hurriedly took two steps, Qin Zhao saw her frowning and breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come here, didn't you say that you should stay in the queen's palace?" ”
Lu Qingjin only felt that his heart was going up and down like a roller coaster, and after a while, he held Qin Zhao's hand and said, "I just heard that Concubine Xian didn't send news to the past yesterday, and I rushed over because I was worried that it was a conspiracy, but I didn't expect it to be too late." ”
Qin Zhao's eyes narrowed: "It seems that someone has targeted me, but I don't know if it's someone from the previous dynasty or Zhao Yunheng." ”
Lu Qingjin sighed and said, "I already have a clue about the gunpowder, let's ask someone to put out the fire in the imperial study first!" ”
Qin Zhao nodded and led her in the direction of the imperial study, and the guards and eunuchs behind him all hurried forward to extinguish the fire.
Zhao Yunheng outside the palace sat in the hall and waited anxiously, and after a while, the little guy outside ran in and said, "Look, the prince of the world, there is a fire in the palace, and it is our business." ”
The expression on Zhao Yunheng's face relaxed a lot, and when he looked in the direction of the little guy, he saw a fire in the palace, he clapped his palms and laughed: "It seems to be done, sure enough, the sky does not live up to me, how about you send someone to see the emperor?" ”
Lu Qi hurriedly walked in and said helplessly: "The prince doesn't need to go, the emperor is fine, you just burned down a royal study this time." ”
Zhao Yunheng's face stiffened, and Lu Qi sighed helplessly: "Why can't you listen to the advice!" In this way, the probability that the philanthropic mage is on our side is already very small, and the emperor may have become suspicious, and it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Zhao Yunheng's always plain face finally became a little hideous: "What do you know!" It's the best opportunity, it's a pity to miss it, but it doesn't matter, as long as my father still has that gold mine under his hands, we are invincible. ”
Lu Qi asked with a bad face: "You tell me what other plans I don't know?" ”
Zhao Yunheng patted the ash on his clothes before he spoke: "Who do you think you are?" It's just a dog attached to our family, I advise you to stay obediently, otherwise it's hard to say what your daughter will do, you have given up one daughter, but you can't give up another one because of regret! ”
Lu Qi's face suddenly became ugly, and he slowed down for a while before saying, "I know what you mean, I won't care about this matter anymore, as for the little girl, I still don't bother." ”
Zhao Yunheng snorted coldly, as if mocking his innocence, Lu Qi didn't say anything after all, and left on his own, but his back suddenly became a lot more depressed.
The little guy next to him waited until Lu Qi had already left before he spoke: "Is the prince of the world dealing with the Lu family, I see that Lord Lu has already regretted it, who knows how long Miss Lu can contain him!" In case he says it, we're done. ”
Zhao Yunheng said unhurriedly: "Don't think that he is all for his daughter, he can't tell the twists and turns for a long time, and if we are finished, he will not be fine." ”
