Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded away, and after dinner Qing Yu stayed alone in the bedroom.

Waiting for him to come back, but her plan cannot be interrupted. After all, this is a great gift for Jiang Zhuo.

She changed into black clothes, picked up the dagger, and her dark pupils were almost broken through by the red light of excitement. She was looking forward to what kind of public opinion would appear tomorrow.

Similarly, she came to Jiang Zhuo's gunpowder workshop.

Compared to yesterday, there are a few more guards here today. It seems that Jiang Zhuo has not yet discovered that the raw materials lost were from his gunpowder workshop.

She didn't need to worry about the guards at all. She simply went around and climbed over to take away all the few remaining finished products.

On the way here, she had already spotted the area and lit a few guns. After the explosion, there was a fire.

I hid the remaining gunpowder in a safe place, patted the dirt on my hands, and today's mission was completed.

Inside the palace, Xiao Yanqing reported the task at hand and stood up to leave.

Xiao Yanzhou paid attention to the time and found that today was actually an hour earlier than yesterday.

"Prince Xiao." Someone suddenly called him.

He stopped and stepped forward, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"

"There are indeed some things I want to discuss with King Xiao." Xiao Yanzhou spoke casually but his eyes were fixed on his face.

He lowered his head slightly and did not speak immediately, his reluctance was almost written on his face.

"Why, Prince Xiao, is there something important that needs to happen and you have to rush back to the palace?"

He paused, "If Your Majesty wishes to discuss this with me, I have no objection."

In fact, he wanted to answer "yes". If he answered like that, the emperor would become suspicious, and he would no longer have to hide the matter between him and Yu'er.

But he knew that Yu'er didn't want this, and his reason also told him that he shouldn't do this.

"Okay." Xiao Yanzhou agreed decisively and no longer gave him a chance to refuse.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li handed Xiao Yanzhou several memorials in his hand, and then began to ask questions and discuss.

In a flash, an hour passed. He looked normal, but his heart was like a surging tide, ready to burst out at any time, and it was difficult to calm down.

He kept wondering, since he had asked the guards to tell Yu'er, would she still be waiting for him?

I was worried that she would keep waiting, and I hoped that I would not come back, so I went to rest.

During this period of time, Xiao Yanzhou was also paying close attention, but he knew him well enough to know what kind of person he was. Whether it was the way he did things or the demands he made on himself, he was always flawless, and there was no sign of any flaws at all.

At this time, the fire caused by the gunpowder explosion was once again reported to the court.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that the situation is exactly the same as yesterday. Someone dropped the gunpowder in the middle of the night. I have checked and found no traces left." The minister stepped forward to report the results.

Xiao Yanzhou's anger turned into doubt. No one was hurt? Why did they choose to do it in an open space? Whose attention was this trying to attract? Was it the imperial court?

"The Ministry of War, the gunpowder warehouse, and the transport ships, are there any that are missing?"

The Minister of War hurried forward to report, "Your Majesty, I have checked it today and there is nothing missing."

"It seems that this time is different from the last time. We can't even find the origin of the gunpowder?" Xiao Yanzhou's voice became heavier with each word, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and ruthless murderous intent naturally revealed itself.

The ministers below felt a chill down their spines. "Your Majesty, could it be that the people made this themselves..."

"self made?!"

"Even if we can get the raw materials, what about the method, how to make it?!"

The ministers also remained silent amid the continuous questioning.

For the Bei'anshi Dynasty, the plan for making gunpowder was kept secret, and only the important officials in the court who were in charge of it knew about this plan.

Even if ordinary people could extract materials for making fireworks, they would not be able to make gunpowder that was strong enough to detonate successfully.

After a short silence, the Minister of War stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is enough to rule out that it was from outside, because the person who discarded the gunpowder currently has no purpose, so we can focus on where we can purchase the raw materials."

"Just do as you say. Arrange personnel to hide in the open space where they may be dropped again. This matter is of great importance. Pay more attention to the rumors among the people."

"It's Your Majesty."

By the time everything was done, it was already very late. Xiao Yanqing rode back on horseback. Seeing that it was already the first watch, he mounted his horse and headed straight for the bedroom.

There was no light in the bedroom. I looked towards the study and was startled.

Sure enough, the candles flickered in the breeze.

Before he could rush over, he saw a small figure running towards him.

"Yan Qing!" She threw herself into his arms joyfully, "You're finally back!"

His heart felt like it was being crushed and he was having difficulty breathing. He didn't understand why she kept waiting for him even though he had said he would come back early but he had broken his promise.

She is obviously in good health, so why is she so persistent about these things?

Buried in his arms, she didn't hear his voice for a long time. She raised her head slightly to look at him, noticing his slightly annoyed expression.

He seemed angry.

"Why is it like this?" Why doesn't she just go to bed and stay up late? Why does she have to wait for him all the time?

"If I don't come back, will you not sleep?" His voice was so soft, so soft that it was trembling.

He was very angry, but he was angry at himself. Angry at himself for breaking his promise and angry at himself for not being good enough to her.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head to explain, "Don't be angry, Yan Qing. I thought Yan Qing would come back soon, so I waited, but after waiting for an hour, you didn't come back."

"They urged me to go to bed, but I was afraid that you would come back if I fell asleep, so I continued to wait... and waited until now." Unconsciously, her delicate voice became more aggrieved.

She wouldn't blame him, and was even happy that he finally came back.

"Yanqing, I miss you so much."

Hearing her last words, he could no longer restrain himself and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Why is Yu'er so stupid..."

"I'm sorry Yu'er, I came back late, I missed you too."

He picked her up and went straight back to the bedroom.

As soon as their bodies fell onto the bed, their skins embraced each other, and kisses rained down on her lips and her skin, as if the heat consumed her body.

As the kiss occupied each other's hearts, they closed their eyes and felt his scent in the embrace.

"Yan Qing..."

The two of them interlocked their fingers, feeling the heartbeat spreading through their veins.

"My silly son..."

"I'm sorry, I won't break my promise again."

The eyes with thick eyelashes blinked, "Yan Qing, what happened?"

He couldn't help but kiss her face, "Yu'er, are you giving me a chance to explain?"

"Yes." She nodded with a smile.

He sighed inaudibly, "Yu'er, is having you my lucky chance to survive a disaster?"

She seemed unable to understand what he meant.

Surviving a disaster? Is this Yan Qing's past?
