Xiao Yanqing continued to explain, "I wanted to leave today, but he stopped me."

She immediately realized that he was referring to why he couldn't come back early today. What about the sentence he just said?

"Did Your Majesty notice it?" she asked again.

"Don't worry, Yu'er. If you are discovered, I will always stand in front of you. I will take care of everything."

"Okay, I'll be with you then."

She seemed to keep telling herself that she would be with him and that she would protect him.

"Yuer, I..." The following words seemed to be stuck on his lips.

How much he wanted to tell her that he loved her, loved her very much, to the point that he couldn't live without her.

But now he didn't even have the conditions to promise her happiness, and he didn't even have a witness between them. How could he talk about giving her happiness in the future?

"What's wrong, Yanqing?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken, she stroked his cheek.

He smiled and kissed her deeply on the lips, "Yu'er, don't even think about leaving me again."

He would not let go, not even if he died.

He made up his mind to make a promise to her that he would love her forever in all his lives.

But Yuer, will you love me too? Will you always love me too?

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms that night, feeling the long-lost warmth and love.

……

In the palace, the guards who were waiting outside Prince Xiao's mansion rushed back to report.

"His Majesty."

"explain."

"Prince Xiao went straight back to his palace and never came out again. However, he did look very anxious." The guard reported what he had just seen.

Xiao Yanzhou asked again with doubt in his heart, "Before Prince Xiao returned home? Was there any movement in the mansion?"

"Your Majesty, everything in the palace is as usual. I have been keeping an eye on everyone coming in and out, and there is nothing unusual."

He leaned lightly on his seat, his face gloomy and solemn.

Everything was normal, except Xiao Yanqing's abnormal behavior, which could only mean that he hid it very well. It seemed that the secret was in Prince Xiao's Mansion.

"Does Xiao Yu have any doubts today?"

He wanted to find out more about Xiaoyu and prove that Xiaoyu didn't know martial arts, but he was worried that Xiaoyu would become suspicious of him.

He Yi leaned forward and responded, "I don't think the little princess is suspicious. A martial artist would react subconsciously, but the little princess doesn't look like a martial artist."

Xiao Yanzhou thought about what He Yi said and did not respond...

He kept wondering what the connection was between Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Yu. He had only mentioned it once before, and Xiao Yu was extremely nervous and scared. Could it be that Xiao Yanqing had also hurt Xiao Yu?

The seeds of doubt have taken root in his heart, but these are just guesses after all, and the truth is unknown.

Recently, while the court meeting had not yet concluded, the gunpowder case became more intense, igniting in different places for three consecutive days.

After discussion, it was determined that the places where these incidents occurred had no connection.

However, the people rumored that the explosion of gunpowder seemed to remind them that someone in Yongqing City was secretly building a gunpowder factory, which might cause greater danger.

However, the person who discovered it may be of low status and dare not speak out, so he has to use this method.

As soon as the rumor came out, the entire Yongqing City was in a panic. If the gunpowder factory exploded, an entire street would be affected. The problem was that the exact location of the gunpowder factory was still unknown.

Therefore, the people began to beg the higher authorities in the government office, asking them to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Inside the Jiang Mansion.

"Father, I have already made proper arrangements for those people." Jiang Mo stepped forward to report.

"Mo'er did a great job, go down first."

As Jiang Mo leaned forward and stepped back, Jiang Zhuo's guard stepped forward and said, "Sir, I checked and the thief did not leave any flaws. He must be a very powerful person."

Jiang Zhuo sat with his robe lifted up, his face gloomy. After a screening the day before yesterday, he found out that the lost gunpowder was actually from his gunpowder workshop, and it was found in such a remote place.

"Damn it!" Jiang Zhuo cursed angrily.

Everything has been fine in the past few years, but they were discovered at this time.

"Sir, there is still a large amount of raw materials in the gunpowder workshop, and it will take some time to process them. Do you need me to take some people to deal with it?" the guard suggested.

Jiang Zhuo lowered his eyes and thought, "It's not that serious, but we should still be prepared and notify the people behind us."

"Yes, Lord." After Jiang Zhuo gave his instructions, the guard leaned forward and retreated.

Jiang Zhuo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still couldn't make up his mind about the thief.

Who is this thief?

Xiao Yanqing's recent actions are not here at all, which is unlikely. Who on earth dares to go against him!

……

Qing Yu packed up again and prepared to leave. According to her plan, this would be the last day. Now Yongqing City's attitude towards this matter had reached the level she had imagined.

However, she never expected that as soon as she left, Xiao Yanqing discovered her disguised figure.

Today he handled matters quickly, and the emperor was also very worried about the gunpowder case, so naturally he had no time to manage other matters.

He had just got off his horse, and the guard wanted to report, but he stopped him with his hand.

I wondered if Yuer would be very happy if she saw him now.

But before he could reach the study, he immediately spotted a dark figure leaving.

Although she had changed her clothes, his intuition told him that person was her.

For some reason, the gunpowder case suddenly came to mind. Could it be that Yu'er did it? !

But I still have doubts in my heart, because setting off gunpowder is too dangerous, how dare she...

Thinking of this, he became more certain, but he did not go up to stop them, but followed quietly behind.

The place she went to just confirmed his guess, that was Jiang Zhuo's gunpowder factory.

Currently, there are guards inside and outside the gunpowder workshop, nearly ten people in total. Now is not a good time to sneak in.

He watched her jump onto the house, and just when he was worried that she would break in, she got up and left, as if just to confirm something.

Following her footsteps again, I came to an open place. She skillfully found an inconspicuous corner and took something out from it.

Xiao Yanqing was suddenly startled. Based on the dim light and her movements, he guessed what she was holding.

That was the gunpowder she had hidden.

Without any hesitation, it was lit, and there was a loud bang, accompanied by a burning flame.

The light from the fire was reflected on her face.

He seemed to see the indifference and calmness on her face.

The truth is revealed, it turns out that she did all this, and there must be a deeper purpose behind it.

Qing Yu finished what he wanted to do and turned around to leave amid the noise.

But she didn't expect that when she turned around, she would be face to face with a familiar face.

She was slightly stunned, and then a gentle smile appeared on her face.

The flames burned wantonly behind her, but she was calmer than ever before, as if she and the sea of ​​fire behind her were two different worlds, the difference between fairyland and the abyss.

"Yan Qing." She called him softly, and she also felt the danger and anger radiating from his pupils.

Without bothering to teach her a lesson, he grabbed her wrist and left this dangerous place surrounded by flames.
