Chapter 148: Spending Time Like Years
Xiao Luzi got up and replied: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the Weaving Bureau is about to send someone to report it!" Tens of thousands of heaters have been made, and the palace people below are now working hard to continue to make them! After speaking, he pointed to the heater in the eunuch's hand and said, "This is what the father-in-law of the Weaving Bureau ordered to carry it to the Queen Mother for trial." ”
It is said to be a heater, but it is actually an electric stove with a hood, and the bottom embryo is a disc fired with clay, and a spiral electric furnace wire is coiled in the middle, which belongs to the simplest physical invention of converting electrical energy into heat energy.
Originally, it could be used for two purposes, and it could be used directly for cooking and boiling water, but Qingxue was worried that people in this world were too vigilant about the substance 'electricity' itself, and it was prone to accidents. That's why a birdcage-like cover was added to the design to prevent touching.
Xiao Luzi motioned to the eunuch behind him to lift the heater to the queen mother, connected a long plug-in board to the generator, turned on the switch, the heater gradually turned red, and the temperature also went up.
The Queen Mother felt that her body was instantly warmer, and she was really satisfied with this novelty, nodded and said, "Hmm! Not bad! Then he raised his head and instructed Geng Qiushan: "Now that winter is approaching, Geng Shangshu will go to the Weaving Bureau to take a look, the merchants inside and outside the capital should be the most widely contacted by you, and you will arrange it when the time comes!" ”
"Yes! Wechen obeys! ”
Geng Qiushan is now worried that he can't enter the palace, and now that the sale of heaters has fallen on him, he can take this opportunity to go to Yilanxuan once.
Xiao Yinzi had already reported to him what happened last night, and the vigilance of the Pilan secret guard was not much worse than that of the wolf soldiers, and it was not so easy to send that person out safely.
Especially the ghost next to the Queen Mother, that is the elite who crawled out of the pile of dead people, the news of Mu Chun's decision was found out by him, this person is insidious and treacherous, it is impossible to get people away from under his nose.
Moreover, he even suspected that the Queen Mother might have known about the man in Yilan Xuan, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about the heater so coincidentally.
And he knew very well that if Qing Xue hadn't been useful to her, with the queen mother's temperament, she would never have let her enter the palace. If she is charged with harboring assassins or disturbing the palace at this moment, I am afraid that she will be walking on thin ice, and it doesn't matter if she is driven out of the palace gate, if her old man initiates a ruthless attack and kills him directly, it is unknown.
Out of the Diligent Palace
Because he was afraid that some people would be suspicious, Geng Qiushan went to the weaving bureau first, and asked a lot of tricky questions about heaters, which stumped the craftsmen, and then went to Yilanxuan in the name of asking for advice.
The rules of the Pilan Palace are extremely strict, and courtiers and concubines are usually not allowed to see each other at will, so in order to avoid suspicion and not arouse suspicion, Geng Qiushan brought a bunch of minions and craftsmen with him when he went.
At this time, Qing Xue sent Gu Sichen, who came over early in the morning, not long after.
Because Gu Sichen failed to move the Queen Mother, his heart was very empty, and he kept playing Tai Chi with Qingxue when he spoke.
only explained that the secret guard had already gone to investigate in advance, and he was most afraid of startling the snake when saving people, so he didn't dare to act rashly without full certainty, for fear that Qingxue would not believe it, and he was relieved for a long time before he was willing to leave.
Qing Xue acted very well, so even the secret guard didn't find any flaws in this matter.
As soon as Gu Sichen went out, Xiao Yinzi reported the news of Geng Qiushan's arrival to Qing Xueyu, so when Geng Qiushan was walking, she went to the study to draw up the instructions for the use of the heater, and by the way, the drawings and instructions of the new objects that had been prepared early in the morning to be produced by the dark merchants were also sandwiched inside.
The dark guards are always jumping on the roof of the house on weekdays, and they are no more dexterous than the wolf army to enter the house, so although they can see Qing Xue writing, they can't see what is written.
However, Qingxue likes to write and draw in the study on weekdays, and they don't have any doubts when they get used to it.
"Niangniang, Geng Qiushan, the head of the household, asks to see you!" Xiao Yinzi went into the study to report as usual, without any other expression on his face.
Qing Xue took the thick stack of 'manuals' to the main hall to meet her.
Geng Qiushan acted very carefully, and gave Qing Xue a big gift according to the rules, pointing to the heater and asking questions, Qing Xue explained one by one in front of a room of slaves and craftsmen, and then asked Xiao Yinzi to hand the 'manual' to Geng Qiushan.
Geng Qiushan glanced at it casually a few times and then took it into his arms. If it weren't for the fear that the dark guard would find out, he really wanted to meet the person in Xiao Yinzi's mouth who looked very similar to Mu Chunju.
However, in the short time he had been in this Lan Xuan for less than half an hour, he had already noticed the number of secret guards around this courtyard.
His kung fu is no worse than Zhou Ying, so it is not difficult to detect the location of the dark merchant, seeing that this number is a little abnormal, he is also sure that the Queen Mother is guarding against Qingxue's matter.
So when Qingxue finished introducing the dangers of electricity and the precautions for heaters, he said vaguely: "Niangniang said very much, Weichen must keep it in mind, and when I go back, I will print the instructions and sell them together."
Oh! By the way, it's almost winter now, and since this heater has been brought here, let the mother use it! It's just that the mother said that the 'electricity' thing is very dangerous, and you must be careful yourself, and you must not set yourself on fire! ”
Geng Qiushan's words were intended to warn her to be cautious about Ding Qi's affairs, and not to let people grasp the handle on a business trip.
Qing Xue understood his reminder, smiled again and said: "Geng Shangshu has a heart, don't worry, this thing is made by this palace, and there must be a way to control it." ”
She does have a way, if she is really discovered, it is a big deal to take a sleeping pill, and she can send the person back in less than a second, and there will be no evidence even if she searches the palace. Based on the previous events, it seems that wanting people or objects to travel between the two worlds is related to hands, and she can quickly send people over as long as she touches Ding Qi's body with her hands.
------
Because of his weak body, he used hemp boiling again, and Ding Qi didn't wake up until late at night. Thorn saw him open his eyes and wave his little short legs and run all the way to Qing Xue's bed, waking up Qing Xue who was still wandering the streets of that world.
Qing Xue saw its cheerful appearance and knew that it must be Ding Qi who woke up, afraid that he would be discovered by the secret guards if he didn't know it, so Qing Xue didn't have time to put on the bedding and shoes and ran to the side room.
Since seeing Ding Qi, the black halberd has been guarding beside him inch by inch, and at this moment, seeing him wake up, he lowered his voice and whimpered in wolf language, and shouted tentatively: "Your Majesty"
Ding Qi looked at everything in front of him a little foggy, his eyebrows were tightened because of the pain of the wound, and when he saw the figure of the black halberd, he accidentally touched the wound when he wanted to take precautions, and he snorted in pain, and Qing Xue, who had just run to the soft edge, could only reach out and cover his mouth.
This moment of lightning made Ding Qi forget the pain, and looked at the woman in front of him with a stunned face.
It was only after Qing Xue let go of her hand that she came to her senses, but her eyes were still wandering on her.
Qing Xue knew that he had doubts, so she said, "You can speak, but in a quieter voice." ”
"Are you Qingxue?" Ding Qi asked her, he had thought about Qing Xue's appearance before, but he didn't expect her to look like this, with a bright look between her eyebrows and eyes, but there was clearly a strong sense of worry.
Qingxue nodded and whispered, "I have already bandaged the wound for you, if you feel pain, tell me, and I will give you painkillers." ”
Ding Qi shook his head, looked at everything around him and the two wolves in front of him, one big and one small, and asked, "Where is this?" ”
"This is the world I mentioned to you, and we are now in the palace. I don't dare to send you back if your injuries are too serious, and I can't let others know, so you can only recuperate in this side hall with grievances, and I will send you back when your injuries get better. ”
"Hmm" Ding Qi nodded, and the corners of his lips condensed into a smile: "Thank you!" ”
"It doesn't matter, if you still want to know anything, ask this black wolf in front of you, his name is Black Halberd. The walls have ears, and it's much safer to communicate in wolf language than if I explained to you. Qing Xue said and pulled his wrist to number the pulse, and then went to the medicine box to get a medicine and handed it to him: "You eat this, the wound will heal faster." ”
Ding Qi felt her touch his hand, his heart trembled inexplicably, he had shared a bed with her before, and he had also shaken hands through gloves, but at this moment, this 'female ghost' appeared in front of him so really, his warm fingertips were placed on his pulse, and he even forgot to reach out to take the medicine.
"What's wrong?"
It wasn't until Qing Xue spoke out that he took the medicine and took it in a daze, and replied curtly: "No!" ”
"Okay, I'll go back to the dormitory first, you remember to try not to make any noise, and let the black halberd call me if there is anything."
"Hmm!" Ding Qiying is down.
Looking at Ding Qi's pale face, Qing Xue became more and more worried about Mu Chun's decision. When she returned to the bed and lay down, she was still uneasy, in fact, she had never been at peace in her heart since she knew that Mu Chun had been imprisoned in the secret room by Gu Yan.
If Mu Chun is still the same as before, even if it falls into the hands of Gu Yan, it will be easy for him to escape with his ability. But he is just a wolf now, he can't perform light skills, let alone swing a sword, if Gu Yan moves his murderous intent, he can only be slaughtered.
More than three months had passed since that big battle, and Qing Xue didn't know why Gu Yan would hold on to Mu Chun, but she really hoped that Mu Chun would be useful to Gu Yan, so at least he would be alive and waiting for her to save him.
Now that the wolf soldiers have gone to Jecheng to investigate, it will take half a month to get news at the earliest. And Daoist Chong Yuan has not yet made the fire gun, and if she wants to save Mu Chun, she will wait in addition to waiting.
------
After another two days, Ding Qi already had some spirits, although Qing Xue was worried that his traces would be discovered by the secret guards at any time, but she really didn't worry about sending him back.
He didn't dare to go to the hospital to change the dressing for this wound, and with his temperament, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to cultivate it at all. So even if Ding Qi mentioned going back many times for fear of affecting her, she didn't agree.
Fortunately, everything seems to be relatively peaceful, and even the various farces in the palaces because of Wei Xuan's favor have gradually subsided.
