After a while, Gu Qingyue soaked in the hot water bucket, and the chill in her bones was dissipated.

She closed her eyes comfortably and enjoyed a moment of rare comfort.

Hui'er brushed her hair.

During this period, I heard Gu Qingyue ask her: "What happened during my absence?" ”

Hui'er replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine Fu has come to you several times, but she has been blocked back by the slave maid using you to rest in the imperial study. ”

"In addition to the concubine, there is also Lord Zhang."

"Did they say why?"

Hui'er shook her head: "However, Master Zhang handed over an excerpt." ”

Waiting for Gu Qingyue to come out of the bathtub, Hui'er handed her a fold: "This is what Master Zhang handed over to the slave maid, so that the slave maid must be handed over to you personally." ”

Gu Qingyue opened the fold, and the content on it immediately made her angry: "This master, I really cut you with a thousand knives and relieve your hatred." ”

Hui'er knelt on the ground: "Calm your anger with the emperor." ”

"Hmph, you go and get the servant Wynne."

Not long after, the servant Huaien came, and Gu Qingyue didn't wait for him to say hello, so she threw the fold over: "I want you to investigate this matter personally." ”

Fu Huaien opened the fold, and after seeing the content on it, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "This ......"

"Go ahead, whatever comes out, you will be acquitted."

With Gu Qingyue's assurance, Fu Huaien dared to take the order.

Gu Qingyue sat on the bed, the whole person was not lightly angry, her hair was still dripping, and the people who watched it were upset, and after she wiped it with a handkerchief, she threw the handkerchief on the ground.

If it weren't for the estimated image, she would really want to go crazy on the spot.

"Hui'er, pass on my will, tomorrow except for Taifu Yang and a few people who were ordered by me to return to the house, the rest of the courtiers can come to the early court."

"Yes." Hui'er saw that Gu Qingyue's whole person was gloomy and compassionate, so she didn't dare to speak, so she lowered her head and hurried down.

"Who made the emperor so angry."

A gentle voice came from the door.

Fukang walked in, looked at Gu Qingyue's messy hair, and then looked at the ground: "Your Majesty, I'll not disturb you." ”

Gu Qingyue let out a sigh of relief, and her face softened slightly: "Listen to Hui'er, you have been looking for me several times." ”

"Yes, I have something to tell you."

Fukang took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Gu Qingyue to see.

Gu Qingyue looked at it, this was a map, and the place where it was drawn was not elsewhere, it should be a corner of the palace: "Fukang, what does this mean?" ”

"Do you like the palace here?"

"But it's too remote here, I have something to look for you, or you have something to look for me, how inconvenient it is!"

Fu Kang smiled and shook his head, he tapped the location on the paper with his hand, and told Gu Qingyue that this was actually the palace behind the west gate of the Cold Palace.

This palace has been uninhabited for a long time, and no one from the palace has ever gone here.

After he finished speaking, he asked Gu Qingyue: "Isn't this exactly what you want, isn't it afraid that loud noises will be heard, and there is a hidden place?" ”

"Secondly, if you go all the way down this road, you will reach the back door of the Imperial Dining Room."

"No matter what it's transporting, it's good cover."

Hearing him say this, Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up.

Where is this uninhabited palace, it is simply a factory tailor-made for itself.

And when it comes to secrecy and security, where can you compare to your own palace?

She couldn't wait to ask: "How many places like Fukang are there?" ”

Fukang's answer was indeed a bit unsatisfactory: "Only this one." ”

couldn't bear to see Gu Qingyue lost, he promised to reassure people that he would definitely look for it again, maybe he would be able to make a new discovery.

In this regard, Gu Qingyue looked at Fukang gratefully: "I am really blessed to have you." ”

Fukang's heart beat faster when he was moved by this sentence, so to speak, does Gu Qingyue like herself.

Unable to hide the excitement in his heart, Fukang stretched out his hand and hugged the person: "Your Majesty, you're welcome, I'm willing to do anything for you." ”

"No, no, no." Gu Qingyue panicked: "I mean, thank you for helping me, it's my blessing to have a friend like you." ”

Bad truths always hurt.

Fukang slowly let go of Gu Qingyue, his eyes were sad, and the autumn water was as desolate as the moon: "Your Majesty, only treat me as a friend?" ”

"I'm sorry."

Gu Qingyue didn't know what words of comfort she could say, she could only be sorry and express her apologies.

She was sorry why she didn't like this good man.

I thought that Fukang would leave sadly, but I didn't want him to be silent for a while, and he changed back to the gentle Fukang: "Your Majesty, I'll go find it as soon as possible." ”

"In addition, you mentioned earlier that there is very little iron, which will greatly reduce the production of weapons."

Gu Qingyue felt sorry for Fukang and was obviously sad, but she was still pretending to be nothing, her eyes were foggy, and she was a little distracted.

Fukang called her in a low voice: "Your Majesty? ”

The man came back to his senses: "Huh? What did you just say? ”

Fukang said it again in a good-natured manner, and after Gu Qingyue heard it, she turned her mind to the right thing: "That's true, I have said the amount of iron to General Jiang and the chief superintendent." ”

"The answer they gave was very different, even if all the idle weapons were rebuilt, it would not reach the number I expected."

Fukang looked at the door, and when he saw that there was no one there, he asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the selection of weapons, do you only think about using iron?" ”

Gu Qingyue looked at Fukang suspiciously: "Otherwise? ”

Other than that, she couldn't think of anything that could replace iron.

Seeing that Fukang took down the wooden hairpin holding his hair and handed it to Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue took it and looked at the wooden hairpin seriously in her hand: "Fukang This is wood, can it replace steel?" ”

Let's not talk about whether wood can, instead of steel, that is, it can, this wood can't see high temperatures, so it is destined to not help much.

Fukang took the wooden hairpin back and told Gu Qingyue: "This wood is called strong wood, which is used in the house, it can ensure that it will not be broken for a hundred years, this thing is strong, and it is no worse than steel." ”

"That being said, it is not resistant to high temperatures, and guns are meant to come into contact with gunpowder, and fire and wood are mutually reinforcing."

Fukang lowered his eyes, thinking that he was going to give up replacing steel with wood.

But he didn't want him to kneel on the ground: "Please allow me to see General Jiang, in less than half a month, I will definitely be able to solve this matter." ”

Gu Qingyue didn't know what Fukang could do.

She looked at Fukang curiously.

Fukang asked again: "I hope the emperor can allow it, and when I have a certain result, you will naturally understand." ”

He is willing to contribute his strength to this matter.

Gu Qingyue naturally had no reason to disagree: "Okay, then I'll wait for your results, as long as you want to see Jiang Huaiyan in the future, go to Hui'er, and she will send someone to pass it on for you." ”

"Your Majesty."

Fukang got up, and suddenly his body shook and almost fell.

Gu Qingyue stood up and held him up: "Someone is coming." ”

Outside the door, Hui'er and Fukang's personal eunuchs walked in.
