He stared at Gu Lingshuang without blinking, his eyes shining and full of anticipation.

Gu Lingshuang had already discovered Xiao Zitian and Xiao Ziming were just outside the door.

What she just said to Xia He was also intentional.

She seemed surprised, and then came to Xiao Zitian and saluted with fear and trepidation.

"See the Emperor."

The maids and women were all shocked.

It turns out that this is His Majesty the Emperor, the supreme ruler.

It was the first time for them to see the emperor in person, and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Xiao Zitian waved his hand: "Everyone get up."

Gu Lingshuang stood up straight and looked at Xiao Ziming: "I pay my respects to the prince."

Xiao Ziming smiled and held her hand: "Princess, is what you just said true?"

In fact, Gu Lingshuang had already told him this when she was treating his wound last time.

He believed it firmly at that time.

The reason I asked this was that I wanted Gu Lingshuang to give Xiao Zitian the answer in person.

Gu Lingshuang looked at Xiao Zitian and Xiao Ziming and nodded firmly.

"What I said is true. If your Majesty and the prince don't believe it, you can come and taste the distilled wine."

"Xia He, bring the wine over."

Xia He was very skillful and brought the distilled liquor to Xiao Zitian and Xiao Ziming.

Both of them looked at the wine in the glass at the same time, their eyes trembling.

Xiao Zitian asked uncertainly: "Are you sure this is wine, not water?"

No wonder Xiao Zitian thought there was water in the glass instead of wine.

At this time, the ancients generally drank rice wine, which was rather turbid.

However, the wine distilled by Gu Lingshuang through distillation technology is transparent, and looks no different from water on the surface.

Gu Lingshuang smiled and said, "Whether it is water or wine, Your Majesty will know after trying it."

Xiao Zitian picked up the wine glass uncertainly and just put it to his lips. Before he could take a sip, he smelled the rich aroma of wine.

His eyes suddenly brightened.

The smell was so pure that he was intoxicated just by smelling it.

He couldn't wait and drank the wine in the glass.

This wine tastes sweet, clean and refreshing, with a sweet aftertaste.

After taking a sip of wine, there is a burning sensation in the throat and a strong irritation.

Xiao Zitian was so surprised that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

With just one sip, he could tell that the alcohol content of this wine was definitely two or three times higher than what he had drunk before.

Xiao Zitian squinted his eyes to savor the moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he looked at Gu Lingshuang with amazement.

"I didn't expect my sister-in-law could use this technology to make such pure wine. Good wine, really good wine."

"But, can this wine really disinfect wounds?"

Gu Lingshuang shook her head: "Your Majesty's wine is only 45 degrees, so the disinfection effect is not good. If we continue to distill the wine, we can continue to purify it. When it is purified to a certain degree, the disinfection effect will be the best."

"Okay, that's great. If what my sister-in-law said is true, you have done a great thing for Da Xia this time."

Gu Lingshuang smiled faintly and said nothing.

With this distilled liquor, she could not only sell it in the restaurant, but also use it to disinfect injured soldiers at the border, killing two birds with one stone.

"Princess." Xiao Ziming called her.

Gu Lingshuang looked at him: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Come with me to the study."

Gu Lingshuang didn't ask any more questions and followed Xiao Ziming and Xiao Zitian to the study.

After arriving at the study, Xiao Ziming took out the pistol that Gu Lingshuang gave him.

It was the first time Xiao Zitian saw a pistol. He asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Xiao Ziming looked at Gu Lingshuang.

Gu Lingshuang understood that Xiao Ziming brought Xiao Zitian to the palace mainly because of the gun.

Now that a war has broken out at the border of Daxia, if every soldier of Daxia has a gun, they will be able to sweep away all enemies.

Gu Lingshuang took the pistol, loaded it skillfully, and pointed the muzzle at the willow tree outside the yard.

"Bam—"

Xiao Zitian, who was not prepared, shuddered with fright.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Gu Lingshuang with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty can go and see the tree."

Xiao Zitian looked suspicious.

Ever since he arrived at Xiaoyao Palace, he suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

When he walked to the willow tree, he saw a hole in the trunk of the tree. The area around the hole was charred as if it had been burned by fire.

"This... is this hole caused by the thing in your hand?"

Gu Lingshuang came to Xiao Zitian and nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Zitian's heart beat faster.

That thing looked small and powerless, but I didn't expect that it could easily shoot a hole in a thick piece of wood from a distance of ten feet.

If used on the battlefield, the damage to the enemy would be immeasurable.

His hands were shaking with excitement.

"What is this thing called?"

"pistol."

“Can this thing be mass-produced?”

Gu Lingshuang thought about it and nodded.

The pistol she used was a modern product, and it would have been impossible to produce it with ancient manufacturing standards.

But she can draw a simplified version of the pistol: the musket.

After getting a positive answer, Xiao Zitian became even more excited.

But after the excitement, he looked at Gu Lingshuang with deep inquiry in his eyes.

"Where did you get this?"

Gu Lingshuang knew that she couldn't avoid this question, but she had already thought of an excuse.

A flash of hurt crossed her face.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Zitian and Xiao Ziming looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ziming asked with concern.

She had always been strong, and this was the first time he saw a hurt look on her face.

Gu Lingshuang pinched herself secretly and said with red eyes: "I made this myself."

Xiao Ziming and Xiao Zitian showed expressions of disbelief.

"You did it?"

"How did you make a weapon with such great lethality?"

Gu Lingshuang sniffed: "Actually, I was forced to do this."

"I used to be madly in love with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince didn't like me at all and even hated me."

"In order to meet him, I chased after him every day. Being looked down upon was the least of my worries. Many people would secretly trip me up, and I was often injured."

"I knew I couldn't beat them, so I wanted to make a weapon for self-defense."

"I made the pistol accidentally under such circumstances."

When she said this, tears fell.

"I originally wanted to give this pistol to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, because during the hunting this year, His Royal Highness the Third Prince was bitten by a wild wolf. I felt very sorry for him, and thought that if I gave him the pistol, he would be able to protect himself. I didn't expect..."

As she spoke of this, her voice became more choked.

"I didn't expect that he would team up with my elder sister Gu Xian'er to trick me into going to the suburbs and try to strangle me. Fortunately, I struggled hard and escaped, otherwise..."

After hearing Gu Lingshuang's half-true and half-false words, Xiao Zitian's doubts were all dispelled.

He had heard of Gu Lingshuang's bad reputation. Everyone said that she was a useless and useless playboy. Who would have thought that this playboy could actually invent a weapon like the pistol, which was more powerful than a bow and arrow.

Xiao Ziming had no doubts. He suddenly remembered the scene that night when he was being chased by the men in black and met Gu Lingshuang.

No wonder she was outside the city that night, it turned out she was almost killed.
