The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Jixiang reached out his hand to feel the breath of the man in black, and knowing that he was indeed dead, he went to the side and opened the boxes. He saw that they were all boxes of simple explosives. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly retreated.

At this time, in the house outside, Situ Changqing and Jiang Peipei had just subdued another man in black. Jixiang wanted to step forward and ask about the source of the explosives, but he didn't expect that the man in black also committed suicide, without giving anyone a chance to ask questions.

Jiang Peipei looked at Jixiang, "Where's the other person?"

Jixiang pointed to the dark room in the basement and said, "He's dead down there."

Situ Changqing, "Isn't there a tunnel underneath?"

"It's a dark room, and it's full of explosives." Jixiang said.

Jiang Peipei was even more surprised, "What is explosives?"

"It's something that can destroy this house in an instant. It's several times more powerful than the firecrackers we set off during the Chinese New Year."

"Can we blow up the city wall?" Jiang Peipei asked again.

"Given the amount hidden in the dark room down there, it should be easy."

Jiang Peipei and Situ Changqing were surprised. They looked at each other and said nothing more.

Jixiang looked at the people on the ground and ordered, "Master Situ, notify the Imperial Guards to move the explosives out. This stuff cannot be placed where civilians live. It must be transported to a safe place as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Situ Changqing took the order and left.

Jiang Peipei looked at Jixiang and asked, "Did you find out who they are?"

Jixiang shook his head. "It's hard to say whether these people are Prince Duan's men or Prince Qiong's men, but their goal is to destroy this city, there is no doubt about that, so I'm afraid we will be busy again next."

"I wonder how many more courtyards like this where explosives, gold and silver are hidden in this capital city." Jiang Peipei was worried. Previously, Prince Duan used a tunnel and Jixiang could use smoke to force them out. Now they have changed to separate courtyards. In such a big capital city, how can they investigate?

"Let's go to the Annan Palace." Jixiang said and went out.

In the yard, all the officers arranged by the Dali Temple showed up. When they saw Jixiang coming out, they all bowed to him.

Li Sizheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this courtyard next?" He knew that after the commotion tonight, even if the people behind the scenes wanted to take back the things in this courtyard, they would not dare to act rashly unless they sent out more troops than the Dali Temple's guards.

And if that happened, the officials from the Dali Temple would not be able to resist, and the court would have to send more people, so as soon as Jixiang came out, he hurried forward to ask.

"The Imperial Guards will deal with the things in the secret room. As for the gold and silver in the yard, you should take them all back to the Dali Temple and register them. I'm afraid no one will come here after tonight." Jixiang ordered.

"Yes!" Li Sizheng accepted the order.

After coming out of the backyard of Sun’s butcher shop, Jixiang took Jiang Peipei straight to the Acropolis Army camp.

Because Li Sizheng told her that King Annan went to the Acropolis Army Camp tonight and was not in the palace.

When King Annan heard that explosives were found in the Sun family butcher shop, he was stunned for a long time before coming to his senses. "I have been feeling uneasy in recent days, so I came to the city defense camp late at night to take a look. I didn't expect that there is indeed unrest in the capital. But who hid the explosives? The sale of saltpeter is strictly controlled in the capital. How could they produce so much explosives?"

"So, thank you for your hard work again, uncle." Jixiang said apologetically. It has only been a few months since the last city-wide search. If the people are disturbed again, the Acropolis Army will have to bear the blame.

"This time, I will clean every yard, not even a rat's nest can be left untouched! So many explosives were hidden well. If I had checked carefully last time, I might have found them long ago!" King Annan was a little angry. "This matter is still my fault. I was careless last time!"

"This matter has nothing to do with the Emperor's uncle. At that time, Prince Duan's people created chaos throughout the city. The Emperor's uncle led the soldiers of the city guard to control the situation, which was a great help to the emperor. Therefore, it is inevitable that some omissions have been made."

"This time, even if I have to dig three feet deep into the ground, I will not let anyone go!" King Annan promised.

Jixiang bowed to King Annan and said, "I would like to thank the Emperor, Uncle, on behalf of the Emperor!"

King Annan quickly gave Jixiang a fake support and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. This is what I should do. I will make arrangements right away and try to search every household early tomorrow morning." Then he turned around and strode away.

After the King of Annan left, it was inconvenient for Jixiang and Jiang Peipei to stay in the tent any longer, so they left the camp accompanied by the King of Annan's confidants and returned to the imperial city.

"I don't know what's going on with the emperor. He should have received the letter sent by Maodan, right?" Jiang Peipei suddenly said on the way.

"According to Maodan's flight distance, he should be there by now." Jixiang also wanted to know the situation in the northwest. If the capital and the northwest had any plans and took action at the same time, she and Tian Muyu would have to take care of themselves. At that time, let alone discuss it, it would be quite good if they could keep stable.

Am I going to help Tian Muyu stabilize the world?

Jixiang thought about this, and suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders was much heavier. Yes, if something really happened in the capital, Tian Muyu was in the northwest border at this time. If she couldn't keep calm, wouldn't the Great Saint Dynasty be lost again?

If that happened, what would happen to her and Tian Muyu's three children? Would they become victims of the change of dynasties? When she thought of her three lovely children, Jixiang told herself that she must not be like Li Kangdi, who let her kingdom change hands and her three children end up in prison. Even for the sake of her children, she would do her best to preserve this new dynasty that was only four months old!

"Pepe, we have to go back and search the palace first." Jixiang said suddenly.

Jiang Peipei was stunned. "Is there explosives in the palace?"

"I always feel that those people are going to fight us to the death this time. Since they can hide so much gold, silver and explosives in an ordinary civilian courtyard, there are so many courtyards in the imperial city, they may not hesitate to take action." Thinking of this, Jixiang could not stop for a moment and rushed back without stopping.

Now the three babies all live with her in Kunning Palace, and are taken care of by Nanny Yu, the wet nurse, and the maids and servants.

Thinking that Emperor Likang and Prince Duan did not have many concubines before, and that the courtyards that had always been inhabited were not a big problem, Jixiang decided to start checking those empty courtyards first.

So at dawn the next day, Jixiang called Eunuch Guo and asked him to bring people to cooperate with the imperial guards to inspect all the courtyards in the harem.

At the same time, she issued an imperial decree that all palace servants who found any suspicious places in any courtyard or palace could report to Kunning Palace. Once verified, they would be generously rewarded.

For a moment, everyone in the harem became busy, causing the former Queen Wei Yuyin to roll her eyes. "She really comes from a merchant family, she can't hold her ground! If thieves could come and go freely in this palace, then our Great Saint Dynasty would have been in chaos long ago!"

Seeing the palace maids checking around, she was so annoyed that she said, "Stop it, no one is allowed to look around suspiciously!"

Luoluo was worried, "My queen, let's ask them to check every place. If there is something hidden in this yard, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it."

"What could be in my yard?!" She paused, "What is Jixiang looking for?!"

Yes, what is the Queen going to check? Luluo was also confused for a moment. What exactly does the new Queen want to check?

"Send someone to Kunning Palace to ask." Wei Yuyin said immediately.
