Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Royal study.

Ye Jingyu stood in front of the window, the light in his eyes fluctuating.

At this time, he suddenly regretted why he agreed so hastily.

These two people are his closest relatives. If something happens, he will definitely regret and blame himself for the rest of his life.

Thinking of Yin Qingxuan's firm and clear eyes, Ye Jingyu couldn't help but grab the window lattice hard, and several veins popped out on the back of his hand...

No, he should take the Imperial Guard over to take a look.

Just as he was about to give the order, Li Defu suddenly walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is asking to see you."

Ye Jingyu said coldly: "No."

Guan Mengting had already walked in from the outside, knelt down with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report in detail..."

Outside the city, Yin Qingxuan was boiling saltpeter.

The book said that saltpeter needs to be boiled to extract saltpeter. In order to protect the Zhou Dynasty from foreign enemies, Yin Qingxuan had no choice but to follow the example of the gourd.

Xiao Anzi squatted aside and looked at the pot. He must pay attention to what the empress gave him.

Seeing the thick white crystals appearing inside, Yin Qingxuan couldn't help but feel excited.

If one could make explosives from her hands, that would be a great feat!

She ordered Xiao Anzi to take out the white crystals and smash the sulfur ore into pieces. Then she took out the book on locally made explosives and weighed and mixed them according to the proportions above.

When she was in school, her teacher once said that if there is no sulfur, realgar can be used instead. However, the most authentic methods are sulfur and saltpeter. Therefore, Yin Qingxuan does not plan to use realgar for the time being.

She put the prepared powder together and shook it up, and suddenly there was a smell like the firecrackers she had set off when she was a child.

Yin Qingxuan nodded. This sounds right, but I don't know how effective it will be.

The two people poured the powder onto a piece of cloth, and then tied a seven-inch square explosive package with a rope, leaving a piece of cloth inside as a fuse.

At this time, it was completely dark.

The wilderness is no better than the capital city. It is completely dark all around, without any lights, and the moonlight is pale.

The darkness of the night is like an invisible mouth of an abyss, making people panic for no reason.

Yin Qingxuan came out with the explosive bag, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Ye Zhan was talking to Chiyan Bing outside the door. When he saw Yin Qingxuan, he turned around and walked in.

"Is this done?"

Yin Qingxuan nodded and said with a guilty conscience: "That's right. You have to light a fire to know whether it works or not."

Ye Zhan lowered his eyes, looked at the tightly tied small cloth bag in Yin Qingxuan's hand, and asked inquiringly: "Where do you want to light a fire, I will come."

Yin Qingxuan looked back and said, "Let's go behind the hill. Your Majesty, you must be careful. If this thing ignites, use Qinggong to retreat to a distance quickly. Be careful not to get hurt."

Ye Zhan didn't have much hope for this palm-sized thing, and even felt that Yin Qingxuan was a bit alarmist about how powerful such a big thing could be.

But he responded: "I have written it down."

The soldiers followed Ye Zhan to the back of the mound.

At this time, several crows started up from the forest and made a quacking sound.

Listening to the unpleasant crow, the corners of Yin Qingxuan's eyes suddenly jumped a few times, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger.

Her steps paused slightly. Ye Zhan held the torch and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Yin Qingxuan guessed that she might have overthought it, so she grabbed Xiao Anzi's sleeve and jumped over the mound with everyone.

As expected, there is a large open space below, and no crops are planted. It is indeed a good place for experiments.

"Right here."

Yin Qingxuan handed the explosive bag to Ye Zhan.

"My lord, please don't underestimate this thing. This thing is incredibly powerful. After lighting it, you must use Qinggong to get away. The further away, the better."

Ye Zhan nodded. "good."

He held the torch and walked towards the bottom of the mound, followed closely by the two Red Flame Soldiers.

Yin Qingxuan felt that the distance was almost there, so she shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you can stay here."

Ye Zhan stopped and was about to light the fire cloth when he suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air and a sharp arrow shot out from the darkness.

Ye Zhan had experienced many battles, and he felt bad when he heard the sound of breaking through the air. With a stroke of his foot, he flew several feet diagonally.

The soldier next to him also crouched down instantly and avoided the blow.

"My lord!"

Ye Zhan stood up quickly with one hand on the ground and shouted behind him: "Protect Concubine Yao."

The Red Flame Soldiers on the mound also realized something was wrong and immediately formed a circle to protect Yin Qingxuan and Xiao Anzi.

Xiao Anzi suddenly turned pale with fear.

"Mother, there is... there is an assassin!"

Yin Qingxuan grabbed his arm and said, "Don't panic."

She still has 5 minutes of being a real woman, but now that she is in the dark, even if she wants to use it, she has to wait for an opportunity.

Fortunately, she had the electric baton in her pocket when she came out. She immediately took it out of her sleeve and gave it to Xiao Anzi.

He said quickly: "Take this. If someone hits you, press this button to shock them."

Xiao Anzi saw this thing and couldn't help but feel moved, and asked in a trembling voice: "Empress, what about you?"

"I'm fine. Don't talk anymore. Squat down first."

To avoid becoming a target, Yin Qingxuan pulled Xiao Anzi and squatted in the middle of the ground.

Under the mound, several black shadows flew out of the forest and headed straight for Ye Zhan, who was wearing a white robe.

Someone shouted: "The man in white is Prince Jing, kill him!"

Another person shouted: "There are red flame soldiers on the mound. They must be protecting important people. You go over there."

Seeing a lot of people, Ye Zhan frowned slightly.

He made a prompt decision, lit the ignition strip in his hand, and threw the explosive bag towards the man in black.

Everyone on the left and right needs to be tested, so let's just use them to make meat and vegetables.

The man in black didn't know what it was, so he swung his sword to block it, but heard a loud bang and the explosive package exploded in the air.

Several muffled groans were heard, the man in black was blown to pieces, and a rain of blood fell from the sky.

Ye Zhan had already retreated several feet, but was still forced back several steps by the force of the impact. He pulled his robe with one hand and steadied his steps, feeling horrified in his heart.

Yin Qingxuan was indeed not alarmist. She never thought that this little thing could be so powerful!

Yin Qingxuan also heard the explosion, and felt excited, it really happened!

That means what is written in the book is correct.

She stood up and looked into the distance, only to see several men in black flying out from the side and heading straight towards the dozen Red Flame Soldiers in front of her.

Xiao Anzi immediately stood in front of Yin Qingxuan.

"No one can hurt my master."

Seeing how tightly guarded the place was, several people thought the person wearing men's clothes inside was Ye Jingyu.

Someone shouted excitedly: "I didn't expect the little emperor to be here. It really took no effort at all."

"Rat, you dare!"

The leading Red Flame Soldier shouted, brandishing his long knife and pounced on the man in black.

The Red Flame Soldiers immediately changed their formation, narrowed the protective circle, and assigned six people to protect Yin Qingxuan and Xiao Anzi, while the rest went to fight.

At this time, a disdainful voice spread from the sky.

"court death."

A ray of sword light fell through the air and headed straight for Yin Qingxuan.

"Come on!"
