Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

The imperial court meeting officially began. Xiao Yanzhou prepared for the winter needs in advance and discussed precautions. All officials have been unusually busy in recent months.

During this period, He Yi came to the house to find her, and kept an eye on her situation in both open and covert ways, to make sure she was safe so that he could go back and report. Jiang Zhuo seemed to have no time to ask about the previous matters because of his busy work.

Xiao Yanqing returned home later and later, and Xiao Wenshu focused all his energy on the military camp, so naturally there were fewer people to look after her.

However, Xiao Yanqing kept reminding her and asked the guards to supervise her, asking her to eat, take medicine and sleep on time.

If anything happened to her, the whole mansion would suffer. Although she did as she was told, she did not agree to stay in the mansion obediently.

As night fell, she planned to be out for at least an hour, so she changed into black clothes, tied her hair high, bypassed the guards who were guarding her, and left from behind.

According to memory, he arrived at the gunpowder workshop set up by Jiang Zhuo as quickly as possible in the dark.

Apart from the guards outside, there was no one inside. It seemed that the gunpowder workshop had been temporarily put on hold.

Qing Yu jumped over the house. It was pitch black inside and eerily quiet.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, I fumbled around in the house to find the finished products that had been made but had not yet been shipped out, as well as a large amount of raw materials.

She didn't hesitate, picked up a few finished products and left, having already made plans in her mind.

All the royal nobles are gathered in the court, so now is the best time.

He came to a suitable place, lit the gunpowder in his hand and threw it out.

With several explosions, the flames gradually spread in the grass, and the breeze accelerated the burning of the fire.

Soon, the people who noticed it shouted in panic.

"on fire!"

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

As she shouted and called for help, she disappeared in the light illuminated by the flames.

The noise and the flames also alarmed those who were gathered for the court meeting.

The minister leaned forward and reported, "Your Majesty, there was a fire outside the city. Although the fire has been put out, according to my investigation, it was caused by a gunpowder explosion."

When the words were finished, everyone's expressions changed subtly, especially Xiao Yanqing and Jiang Zhuo.

"Explosion? Is there any follow-up?" Xiao Yanzhou was calm and composed as usual.

"Your Majesty, it only happened once, but it caused some panic. We are already trying to appease the people. However, this explosion is similar to the last one, so I came to report to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

"The last explosion? I remember it was handled by Lord Jiang."

Everyone's eyes then turned to Jiang Zhuo.

Before Jiang Zhuo could speak, Xiao Yanzhou continued to ask, "Have you found out the purpose of the explosion?"

"Your Majesty, this time, just like last time, there were no casualties, and the burning area was also an open grass field, as if it was just to attract...attention."

Xiao Yanzhou turned his gaze to Jiang Zhuo again and asked, "Master Jiang, isn't the murderer dead?"

Jiang Zhuo looked slightly flustered, and was obviously equally confused. "Yes, Your Majesty."

The reason was that he couldn't be sure whether the murderer was dead or not, and just jumped into the river. Moreover, his previous purpose had not been investigated clearly, and he didn't expect that he would appear again.

"Isn't he the same person as last time?" Xiao Yanzhou asked the question, frowning slightly.

"Continue the investigation. If it happens a second time, report to me immediately."

"Also, go check the origin of the gunpowder. Has the jurisdiction of my Bei'anshi become so lax? Can we get large amounts of gunpowder anytime and anywhere?!" Xiao Yanzhou's calm words were already filled with power from anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will do my best." The ministers who received the task left one after another.

Jiang Zhuo calmed himself and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, since this matter is related to the gunpowder case that was lost last time, why not let this old minister handle it."

Xiao Yanzhou looked at him and said, "Lord Jiang still has many things to deal with, so let them do it."

Jiang Zhuo did not expect that His Majesty would refuse so decisively, so he had no choice but to accept the order.

Xiao Yanqing, who had been listening to their conversation, felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

The same method, could it be Yu'er? But didn't I tell her not to act rashly if there was no chance of winning?

Xiao Yanqing immediately finished dealing with today's affairs, left early, and rushed back to the palace without stopping.

When I got back, I found out that she had already fallen asleep soundly. Perhaps it was because of the medication, she had been going to bed early recently.

"Did she go out today?" he asked softly to the guard standing outside the bedroom.

"Without your highness, the princess has been in the mansion, practicing swordplay and reading."

"What about at night?" he asked.

The guard didn't understand, but answered truthfully, "I read a book for a while in the evening, took medicine, and went to bed early."

Everything was as usual. Because he was too busy, she was very well behaved, so well behaved that he felt uncomfortable.

He pushed the door open and walked in, walking lightly. She was sleeping soundly in bed, curled up in the corner.

Seeing that the quilt was messed up by her, he quickly covered it for her.

His eyes stayed on her sleeping face, with her gentle breathing, how adorable she was.

Although he was worried about waking her up, he still leaned over uncontrollably and kissed her lips.

He didn't let go until she murmured in resistance.

I have spent too little time with her recently, and my heart is becoming more and more empty. I miss her so much.

At first she was waiting for him, until she fell asleep in the study. Worried that she would catch a cold or get sick, he forced her not to wait for him any longer and to go to bed when the time came. Only then did she obey.

"Um... Yan Qing..."

Hearing her mumbling my name in her sleep, I felt strangely warm in my heart.

Touching her cheek, "Yu'er, I'm back."

"Yan Qing..." Half asleep and half awake, she stretched out her hands and wanted to hug him.

Seeing this, he quickly hugged her and fell on the bed.

She immediately buried herself in his arms, "Yan Qing...I miss you..."

"Yuer, I miss you too." He stroked her back gently, wanting her to sleep more peacefully.

He didn't even want to fall asleep, because the time would pass too quickly. He just wanted to stay like this, looking at her, hugging her, kissing her skin again and again, and feeling her warmth.

Every time he yearned for her warmth, the hatred in his heart deepened.

He had to find the enemy as soon as possible and avenge their relatives as soon as possible. Only in this way could he give her a stable life.

……

After everyone in the court finished discussing today's affairs, they left one after another.

Xiao Yanzhou looked at the seat that had been vacated for a long time. It was Xiao Yanqing's seat.

"Eunuch Li, when did Prince Xiao leave today?"

"Your Majesty, it is exactly midnight."

Xiao Yanzhou stared straight at his seat. Why did he always feel that Prince Xiao was in a hurry to leave? It had been like this since the court meeting. He wanted to finish things as soon as possible so that he could leave early.

"He Yi, did Prince Xiao go directly back to the palace? Did he go anywhere else?"

"Your Majesty, when we were tracking him, we were able to make sure that Prince Xiao was going straight back home." Due to Prince Xiao's superb martial arts skills, no one, not even the experts who were tracking him, dared to keep an eye on him all the time, for fear of being discovered.

A trace of doubt flashed across Xiao Yanzhou's eyes. If he wasn't rushing to the military camp, why was he in such a hurry to return home? Was there something holding him back?

I clearly noticed that Xiao Yanqing was abnormal, but I had no evidence at all.
