Chapter 32: Re-entering the Palace

The last time I entered the Yanwang Mansion, I walked through the main gate and took a carriage, although it was not too polite, but at least there was a guest.

And this time it was a little different, walking through the back door, the hands were still firmly locked, and several soldiers drew their knives to guard, and there was a momentum of pulling out knives and cutting directly if anyone dared to approach.

Gu Huai, whose hair was a little scattered, didn't ask much, obviously he didn't answer when he asked, he frowned and thought, what else can he have to do with Yan Wangfu recently?

It shouldn't be, after the Qingfeng Lou Dahan Poetry Meeting, he and Yan Wangfu have no intersection, whether it is Tsundere Lori or Zhu Gaochi, or Yan Wang Yan Princess, they have not appeared in the life of such a son-in-law as him.

So where is the problem?

In fact, it didn't take long for Gu Huai to understand the answer.

In the hall, there was an iron ball on the table in the center, Princess Yan, who had seen her, obviously had a bad impression of herself, her face was a little cold and hard, but the chubby Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly at herself, thinking that the poem played some role, Yao Guangxiao, who was dressed in a black monk's robe, was still sitting in the corner and chanted Buddha in a low voice, and there were two young people who had not seen it themselves, but they looked a little similar to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

The soldiers pressed Gu Huai down, a young eunuch with a white face and beard walked behind Gu Huai, put a hand on Gu Huai's shoulder, the soldiers retreated one after another, and Princess Yan, who was sitting upright, asked the first question:

"What is this thing?"

"Gunpowder," Gu Huai said honestly, "the kind that will explode." ”

The heroic young man on Zhu Gaochi's right side shook his head: "Nonsense, the gunpowder is all black, and the things in it are taken out and looked at, it is obviously yellow, how can it be gunpowder?" ”

"But the explosion is indeed possible, and it is extraordinarily powerful," the chubby Zhu Gaochi narrowed his eyes, "and there is nothing wrong with calling gunpowder." ”

"It's different from black powder, if you want to be more elegant, this should be called yellow powder," Gu Huai just moved slightly, and the palm that was pressed on his shoulder came with a terrifying force, "The explosion power is indeed much stronger than black powder." ”

"So, what happened in Pufu was indeed done by you?"

Gu Huai was silent for a moment: "To be caught here, I thought the palace had already found out." ”

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, all the people who have entered and exited Pufu and the carriage and horse travel have been checked, and even the injured subordinates have not been spared, although there is no evidence, but you are the most suspicious," Zhu Gaochi patiently explained, "There is also the matter of the political envoy Si Yamen... There won't be many people doing things close to the New Year, but it happens to have you, which is really a coincidence. ”

"It's really too coincidental," Gu Huai smiled, "I thought no one would notice this coincidence, after all, I'm too inconspicuous." ”

"If it's just a son-in-law, it's really inconspicuous, and it's not very easy to find out," Yao Guangxiao, who had been silent, spoke, "But the donor's entry into the palace was really impressive, and the old man asked people to check it more." ”

It turns out that the problem actually appeared here.

Gu Huai couldn't laugh or cry a little: "The master is really... Resourceful, but the grass people are a little curious, if they don't admit it all the time, the palace has no evidence, what are they going to do? ”

The heroic young man pouted: "How to do it?" This matter can't be spread, just dig a pit and bury it and continue to investigate. ”

Zhu Gaochi reprimanded unhappily: "Second brother! ”

Gu Huai took a deep breath, on the one hand, he was a little glad that he had just met, and on the other hand, he found that this heroic young man was no different from that gentleman.

Yao Guangxiao pulled back the topic: "How many of these things did the donor put in Pufu that day?" ”

"Ten."

"Just ten of them is so powerful?" Yao Guangxiao muttered and folded his hands: "Amitabha." ”

"I understand, I understand, the formula is written, but the efficiency may be a little slow, after all, it takes a long time to learn," Gu Huai shrunk his neck, "Master, don't chant Buddha, I'm panicking." ”

As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on Yao Guangxiao's face, and Zhu Gaochi laughed twice, and the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly relaxed.

"Don't worry about the palace unloading and killing donkeys, it is a great credit to be able to sacrifice this thing," Princess Yan's face line softened, she picked up the black iron ball, and glanced at a certain piece of bead curtain without a trace, "There are craftsmen in the palace, you teach them how to do it first, and when it is done, they will give you a future." ”

"Don't worry, the grass people know," Gu Huai breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you need to introduce the grass people again?" ”

"When you make it, you'll know what will happen to you, and then you will know what will happen to you," the young man laughed twice, "but you are quite familiar with current affairs." ”

"The grass people... Is it possible to go back to the shop? ”

"Don't get an inch," Princess Yan's face turned cold, "You are not allowed to go anywhere except the palace." ”

"The grass people have been reconciled, they are no longer a son-in-law, and now they also want to fight for a future, please rest assured," Gu Huai also glanced at a certain place, "Otherwise, the grass people would not be so honest... I really can't rest assured that I can't get out of the shop, and there are grass people's maids, so I want to go back and see. ”

Princess Yan wanted to reprimand two more sentences, but a cough suddenly sounded in the hall, Zhu Gaochi and the other two young people immediately sat up straighter, and even Yao Guangxiao stopped chanting Buddha.

"The stakes are very high, so naturally you should be careful, but if you forcibly detain people to the palace, it is indeed a bit excessive," Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together, "For the safety of the donor, the palace will send some guards, don't you mind?" ”

"Don't mind, don't mind."

"In that case... Sambo. Princess Yan, who was silent, finally let go of her brows.

The young eunuch standing behind Gu Huai nodded.

"You follow him, and then transfer some guards, so that you can guard his shop, and watch him every day to come to the palace to do things, if there is any situation..."

"Minions understand."

......

Gu Huai, who had left the hall, rubbed his hands that were bound and bleeding poorly, and looked at the bruises with some joy.

Thanks to being an honest man, I didn't plan to hide this matter when I entered the palace...

Now it seems that the palace actually doesn't have much in mind, but the iron ball that didn't explode makes them suspicious, if they bite to death and don't admit it, they will either be let go as an unrelated person, or they will be buried in a garden in the palace as the heroic young man said...

But who would dare to gamble with their lives?

Glancing back at the young eunuch with a white face who didn't need to walk, as if he was floating, Gu Huai remembered what Princess Yan called him just now.

Sambo.

Ma Sanbao?

This is a celebrity... The kind that history books can't get around.

Gu Huai rubbed his hands and was about to say something, but a voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, why are you here again?" ”

Tsundere Lori, staring at a pair of big eyes, stood at the bottom of the steps.

"I've seen the county lord," Gu Huai's smile was a little sincere: "It's the mother who has something to call." ”

"Sister..."Tsundere Lori nodded, "Are you leaving?" ”

Gu Huai looked up at the sky and rubbed his cheeks: "I'm ready to go back to the shop, there are some things yet..."

"Shop? Is there a pharmacy in your house? ”

Gu Huai was silent for a moment: "Back to the county lord, the grass people have already reconciled, and now they have left the Song Mansion and opened a shop by themselves." ”

"Aren't you a reader? The poems you wrote are pretty good... What does the shop sell? "Tsundere Lori is interested.

Gu Huai's eyes lit up.
