Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

After Xiao Chenyi was busy for a while and returned to his mansion to rest, he found out what had happened.

"Husband, should I not have reported to the police?" Yun Xi felt a little uneasy afterwards.

If Xiao Huaban wanted to report the matter of the two servants, she could have just gone and reported it to the police. She asked the police to bring the people to her house, and others thought something had happened to the masters in her house. But she didn't know why she was so impulsive at that time.

"You did the right thing." Xiao Chenyi touched her hair. His wife was still so kind-hearted.

"Do you like that little girl very much?" Xiao Chenyi asked, gently holding his wife's soft hand.

"Husband, did you see through it?" Yun Xi pursed her lips and chuckled.

"You did it so obviously, who can't see it?" Xiao Chenyi said with a smile.

"It's rare for me to see someone who is so attentive to flowers, and she is also very talented. The flowers that pass through her hands grow very well and beautifully. I don't want to miss such a talent. The key is that I see a long-lost passion in her! She has an innate passion for flowers. Others treat flower cultivation as a matter to do, but she treats flowers as relatives."

Yun Xi said with a wry smile: "This kind of heat is what I want but I don't have it."

No matter what she does, she only does it when she feels it is necessary. To this day, there has not been anything that she is willing to give up everything and risk her life to do!

To put it bluntly, she didn't want to destroy such a beautiful little petal. She wanted the little petal to keep its purity forever.

"Well, you did the right thing." Xiao Chenyi patted the back of her hand a few times.

People from the government office came to his house. Even though those people in the capital were discussing it, why should he care?

"Is there anything going on in the capital recently? You seem very busy." Yun Xi asked with concern.

Xiao Chenyi frowned, "I heard that a spy has entered the capital. The emperor ordered several of us generals to patrol day and night and find the spy within seven days. Tell everyone to be careful when they go out."

"Ah? Where did the spy come from?" Yun Xi was shocked.

"They came from the north. Now they are conducting a city-wide search." Xiao Chenyi leaned back on the bed and quickly closed his eyes. "I have already made arrangements in the mansion, don't worry."

I have only slept two or three hours a day for two days in a row. It's okay when I'm busy outside, but I feel exhausted when I get home.

"Okay." Yun Xi gently pulled the thin quilt over him and covered him.

He turned around and went out, closing the door behind him.

"You two stay here and don't let anyone alarm the prince." Yun Xi softly instructed the guards at the door.

"Yes, Princess." The guards saluted in unison, keeping their voices low.

Yun Xi then went to the kitchen and personally asked the cook to prepare some food so that Xiao Chenyi could eat as soon as he woke up.

The small kitchen was in the yard, which was convenient for Yun Xi to cook her own meals. Yun Xi spoke very softly for fear of waking up Xiao Chenyi, and the people below saw this and consciously lowered their voices and walked on tiptoe.

An hour later, Xiao Chenyi woke up.

When the maid came over to call for help, Yun Xi was looking at the account book in the small study room next door.

"You woke up so soon? Why don't you get some more sleep?" She muttered and hurried to the bedroom.

"Prince, why did you get up?" Yun Xi complained dissatisfiedly.

"Well, I almost forgot to tell you about saltpeter." Xiao Chenyi was leaning against the head of the bed, his spirit not yet fully recovered.

When Yun Xi heard this, she went over in surprise and asked, "You have it?"

Xiao Chenyi reached out and tapped her little nose: "Look at how greedy you are."

Yun Xi peeled his hand away with a snap: "Why should I be greedy? It's not like I'm making money for myself."

"Yes, yes, you are selfless and care about the world." After Xiao Chenyi knew that his wife was not making ice for herself to sell, he couldn't help but respect her.

Regardless of success or failure, she can disregard her own interests and think about the people of the world, which is really rare! How could he, Xiao Chenyi, have such a virtuous wife in his life?

Getting back to the topic, Xiao Chenyi patiently told Yun Xi the source of his saltpeter.

It turned out that when he was investigating in Shu, he discovered a large saltpeter mine.

But at that time he only knew that saltpeter could be used in metal smelting and as a solvent when casting weapons to accelerate the melting of metal.

He had already assigned some people to develop the saltpeter mine.

"In Shu?" Yun Xi asked in surprise.

"Yes." Xiao Chenyi nodded, "I have ordered people to transport some of it here. Can you see if it can be used after it arrives?"

"Okay, can you send someone to come with me? I want to promote this method. Or..."

Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll teach you, Your Majesty. You can decide how to use it yourself."

She wants to be a salted fish.

Of course good things should be shared with your loved one, but she should take it easy if she can.

Isn't it good to let men worry about family and national affairs? She just needs to help.

Xiao Chenyi curled his lips and touched her head: "Okay."

His wife's unreserved trust in him softened his heart.

Since Yun Xi trusts him so much, he must maximize the benefits of ice-making.

It would take some time for the saltpeter to be transported from Shu, so Xiao Chenyi continued to be busy with affairs in the capital day and night.

The emperor seemed to have forgotten that he was a vassal king of Shu, and he would call him into the palace to discuss matters at any time.

Seeing this, the ministers also tried to get close to Xiao Chenyi.

Xiao Chenyi had seen the indifference of human nature and was very disdainful of these powerful ghosts. In order to avoid interference, he had to show a cold face in front of others.

Even in the palace, he had a stern face, and the words "Keep Away" were almost engraved on it.

Xiao Chenyi is extremely handsome. This time he lived in the capital for a while, and he would go out to patrol the streets from time to time, which once again aroused the burning desire in the hearts of the ladies.

Anyway, they never cared about Yun Xi, a country girl who was not liked by her parents.

That day, Xiao Chenyi was summoned to the palace again.

Unfortunately, at the palace gate, he met Concubine Fang's younger sister, Fang Qiaoqiao.

"Qiaoqiao greets Prince Chen." Fang Qianqian blushed and bowed shyly.

When she looked up and saw Xiao Chenyi's sculpted face, her heart started pounding. Such a handsome, manly, and capable man, he was definitely her dream lover!

"Yeah." Xiao Chenyi frowned and strode away.

He really found it hard to understand these women.

She is obviously a lady from a noble family, shouldn't she be well-mannered and well-educated? Why are they all looking at him like hungry wolves pouncing on tigers?

Xiao Chenyi walked towards the Emperor's Qinzheng Hall with an expressionless face, seemingly ignoring the enthusiastic glances that swept over him from time to time.

After walking for a while, he saw that the other party was still following him, so he glanced coldly at the eunuch who was leading the way.

The eunuch was so frightened that he almost peed himself, and quickly said to Fang Qianqian, "Miss Fang, you are going to Concubine Fang's place, don't take this road."

He was secretly annoyed at himself for being greedy. He took a few taels of silver from Miss Fang and indulged her. He forgot that Xiao Chenyi was a ruthless man. If Xiao Chenyi hated him, he would be in trouble.
