Qing Yu turned around and went back to the house, the coldness surrounding him seemed to be blown away by the evening breeze.

Xiao Yanqing was already waiting inside. When she looked up and met his eyes, she said nothing but just smiled at him.

It seemed as if she was telling him that she had done as she was told and nothing had happened. It also seemed as if she was telling him that this was the life she had to face, that she was forced to be involved in a conspiracy, and that resistance was the only thing she could do.

He saw it all, and his anger turned into heartache and pain in his internal organs.

He walked up to her and held her in his arms.

She paused slightly, feeling his embrace, and also reached out to hug him, even speaking to comfort him.

"Don't be angry, don't worry, I have a way."

Hearing this in his ears, it tore his heart apart. Until now, she was still trying to comfort herself, wondering why she never considered herself.

He finally understood why she fell into pain again and again and where her confused emotions came from. Her family was the culprit.

He let go of her hand and looked deeply at her in front of him, "Yu'er, you don't have to be like this, okay? With me here, Yu'er doesn't have to face this alone anymore."

At this moment, he even told himself that he should not only protect her, but also give her all the good things to make up for the happiness she lacked.

"Yu'er, you don't have to be patient in front of me. You can cry when you're sad, vent when you're angry, and show all of yourself. You don't have to hold back, understand?"

Only by understanding her, can you know how much pain is behind her smile, and how much past is carried in her calmness.

Her curved eyes were like stars, sparkling with tears, and the corners of her mouth drew a perfect arc, "Okay, thank you Yan Qing."

She was happy, very happy, to be with him.

She hugged him tightly and merged with his hot body.

For her, as long as he can stand by her unconditionally and love her willingly, she is willing to give everything.

After making sure the danger was gone, he took her hand and left.

"Yan Qing." Seeing his thoughtful eyes, she called him carefully, as if she was worried that he was unhappy.

After hearing her words, I realized that I had been silent for too long.

"Don't worry, Yu'er. As long as he dares to bring it up, I will definitely discourage him from doing so." He had thought of a countermeasure and would definitely not give Jiang Zhuo this opportunity.

She smiled slightly, "Okay, if I fail, I can only leave it to Yan Qing."

His pupils constricted, and he saw her intention, "What does Yu'er want to do now?!"

"I think if something else suppresses him, he won't have a chance to mention this matter in a short time."

"Yuer..." He held her hand and tightened it slightly.

"As Yan Qing knows, His Majesty has been investigating us, so I want to do something with my current identity, okay?"

If Xiao Yanzhou knew the current situation, he would know how much danger Yan Qing would be in, so he must eliminate Jiang Zhuo's forces before that.

He fell silent. No matter what the plan was, he didn't want to agree to it. It must be another risk for her.

Seeing that he didn't look at her or speak, she put her arms around his waist.

She could feel him sigh softly and put his arms around her.

"What should I do with Yu'er?"

The longer time went on, the more helpless he became. He admired her intelligence, but was also worried about her crazy heart.

"Let Yan Qing arrange it. I will obey." The delicate voice was buried in his arms, as if she was acting coquettishly, which was very tempting.

"Yu'er can't get hurt again, understand?"

She raised her face. How could she not know that he was worried about her? "Okay."

Back at the palace, Xiao Wenshu was anxiously waiting for their return.

After confirming that they were all safe and had not been discovered, I finally felt relieved.

However, when Xiao Wenshu heard Jiang Zhuo's plan, he instantly became furious.

"What a bastard!"

"Why does he insist that Qingyu get married now?!" Xiao Wenshu questioned in anger.

Qing Yu curled his lips and showed an indifferent smile, "Because Jiang Zhuo feels that he can no longer control me, and coupled with what happened before, His Majesty's trust in him is not as good as before."

"But why do you want to enter the palace?"

She looked at him, and he gave the answer, "Because there are people in the palace who can control Yu'er."

Xiao Wenshu was stunned when he thought of this person, "Empress Zheng!"

"Haha, I guessed it." The smile on her lips became colder and colder, and she couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry.

Xiao Wenshu saw that she was so happy, "Qing Yu has a solution?"

She retracted the smile on her lips and said, "Not yet, but there are some things I don't quite understand."

As she spoke, she had already looked at Xiao Yanqing.

"What does Yu'er want to know?"

"Didn't Jiang Zhuo have a gunpowder workshop that he set up privately?"

Xiao Wenshu suddenly remembered this incident, "Yes."

"Why hasn't Yan Qing taken any action on this matter yet?"

She didn't quite understand that this matter should be a great opportunity to investigate further.

A complex light flashed in his eyes, "It is still unclear what his exact purpose is."

"I thought it was paving the way for his future," she said.

"It is indeed possible, and the truth may be far more than that."

"Why do you say that?" Is there any other reason?

He explained, "Jiang Zhuo was very careful with the gunpowder workshop. The transportation time was not fixed, and the quantity was not fixed each time. The transportation workers were very skilled in the process, and it must have been some time."

"I have had people track and investigate along the way. They have to make multiple transfers along the way, but they will be lost every time. Without exception, even if they are found after passing many people, the people behind them have no idea what is being transported, let alone the people on it."

"Every time?" She got the point.

"Yes, every time. It can be said that even if it is a secret operation, it is a mature process."

"If this is made public, Jiang Zhuo will have every reason to exonerate himself. Even if he doesn't, he can find someone to replace him. It won't cause much harm. The emperor may become suspicious, but he won't care too much."

She lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"So Yu'er, if you are not absolutely sure now, you cannot start with this matter." He reminded her solemnly.

"Why?" As soon as she finished speaking, she reacted instantly.

"Yan Qing is worried that Jiang Zhuo will use the previous details to suspect me?"

"Correct."

She sipped the tea in her hand and said to herself, "In other words, it must be an excellent strategy to use this gunpowder workshop."

"Yu'er, I have sent people to continue the investigation, and the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is also investigating. As long as there are clues, we all have a chance."

These two things are currently the biggest clues to bringing down Jiang Zhuo, and he is really worried that she will act on her own.

"Can you wait patiently?"

Seeing this, Xiao Wenshu quickly responded, "Yes, Qingyu, don't worry, we will definitely handle these things together."

"Okay." She agreed with a smile.

But she had already been thinking about how to start with the gunpowder factory.
