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

Two days later, Qing Yu stayed by Xiao Yanzhou's side, analyzing the process of implementing the plan.

On the day the plan was implemented, the gunpowder explosions stopped, which proved that the purpose of placing the gunpowder man was to attract the attention of the royal family.

Of course, this was her and Xiao Yanqing’s plan.

And today, we found a privately built gunpowder workshop.

"Your Majesty, there is no record of a large amount of gunpowder raw materials stored in that privately-run gunpowder workshop, and when we arrived, someone was destroying the raw materials. Now the evidence is conclusive." The minister came back and reported to Xiao Yanzhou.

"Where is the person? Have you caught him?" he asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, the King has already led his men to chase after them, and I believe there will be a result soon."

"Okay, let the Ministry of Justice investigate and collect evidence immediately. We must find this person."

"It's Your Majesty."

Qing Yu, who was standing by, heard their conversation and seemed to be thinking about something.

She knew Jiang Zhuo's character. Now that things had come to this point, the evidence that the gunpowder workshop could find would be minimal.

But Yan Qing is guarding it, so there must be something left behind. Besides, it is impossible for Jiang Zhuo to just admit defeat like that.

"Brother Zhou." She suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?" The indifference just now disappeared in an instant, leaving only superficial gentleness.

"I want to go too."

He was slightly stunned, and even doubted whether he had heard it wrongly.

"Xiao Yu said she wanted to go to the gunpowder workshop?" He confirmed her meaning again.

"Yes," she confirmed.

His eyes darkened and he rejected the idea immediately, "No, this is too dangerous."

Facing his rejection was also expected.

"Brother Zhou, that man clearly had time to destroy the raw materials, but he took action after the gunpowder workshop was discovered. This shows that he was confident enough that he would not be discovered." She stated her reasons in a calm tone.

"I think even if we catch those people, we probably won't be able to get anything out of them." It's even possible that they were baits that had been prepared long ago.

"Then what can Xiao Yu do?"

"Brother Zhou, maybe I can find out something. As long as people come in and out, they will leave traces."

She believed that as long as she appeared, Jiang Zhuo would be exposed, and for Jiang Zhuo, she would be the perfect bait.

Xiao Yanzhou fell into deep thought after hearing her words. He knew that she was not afraid of danger, but he also didn't want her to be in danger, let alone in danger of losing her life.

"Xiao Yu..."

"Brother Zhou, I know how dangerous the gunpowder workshop is, and I can ensure my own safety." She interrupted him and tried her best to convince him.

He was silent for a moment, then looked up at her, and the determination in her dark eyes gave him the definite answer.

"Xiao Yu really wants to go?"

"Yes." She confirmed again.

He lowered his eyes and pondered, is there something Xiaoyu must do?

"He Yi, order the guards to follow Xiao Yu closely and ensure Xiao Yu's safety. If anything unexpected happens, everyone will be guilty!" He gave the order.

"It's Your Majesty."

But she cared more about the words that touched her heart. Was she that important to him?

With his permission, she stood up and prepared to go without further hesitation.

Seeing this, he immediately grabbed her wrist, "Xiao Yu!"

She looked back at him in confusion.

"be careful."

Hearing his instructions, she smiled and told him not to worry in a nice way.

In a moment, Qing Yu arrived at the familiar gunpowder factory.

The gunpowder factory has been surrounded by soldiers, and the Ministry of Justice is investigating here.

Everyone became nervous the moment she stepped off the carriage. The beloved princess actually came to such a dangerous place in person. If anything happened to her, everyone would suffer.

"Little princess, please don't get too close." The guard repeatedly reminded, holding out the cloth covering her mouth and nose with both hands.

She took it and nodded slightly, seemingly not caring.

I walked into the inner room and carefully checked every item. It seemed as if the room had been cleaned, without any trace left.

It seems that Jiang Zhuo is fully prepared.

At this time, Xiao Yanqing was leading his men in pursuit, and soon captured several servants who were carrying raw materials.

"Qianyun, take him directly back to the palace." He gestured.

"Yes, Your Highness. But, aren't you going to interrogate him?" Qian Yun asked in confusion.

He seemed to have expected it. "Do you think they will tell the truth?"

Watching his back as he turned and left, Qianyun was left alone, confused.

"Your Highness." A guard ran over hurriedly.

He couldn't help but feel a little panicked because those were the guards who stayed with her.

"The princess is at the gunpowder workshop."

His face darkened and he asked sternly, "Who asked her to go?!"

"Yes...His Majesty agreed."

"what?!"

He was immediately annoyed. He couldn't just let her go. She didn't even tell him that she was going to the gunpowder workshop.

A bad premonition arose in my mind. Could it be that... she wanted to lure Jiang Zhuo to show up?

Thinking of this, he no longer dared to hesitate, "Let's go! Go back to the gunpowder workshop immediately!"

The same was true in the palace. Not long after she left, Xiao Yanzhou began to feel uneasy.

He felt that Xiao Yu must know something, so he insisted on going to the gunpowder workshop.

If it were someone else, he might be able to rest assured, but she was Xiao Yu, a person who was smart to the point of being crazy.

"He Yi, prepare the sedan chair."

He Yi asked in a daze, "Your Majesty is going to..."

"Gunpowder shop."

……

Qing Yu searched the gunpowder workshop for a long time but still found no clues.

During this time, the guards and ministers kept urging her to leave, but she did not intend to give up.

I looked up at the eaves, wondering if there would be any clues there.

"Send someone up there to take a look." She pointed to the eaves and signaled to the guards.

Seeing this, the guard went to make arrangements, but she noticed something and walked straight to the back door of the inner room.

Her eyes rested on a certain part of the door frame, where there seemed to be a piece of cloth left over from a piece of clothing, which must have been torn off accidentally.

Just as she was wondering if she could get any clues from it, some movement outside the door caught her attention.

She ran out immediately and saw a sneaky figure. Although he was dressed in guard uniform, his words and actions were very suspicious.

Could it be someone who infiltrated the group?

While wondering about the man's purpose, she gradually followed him, and the man did not notice her presence.

She hid behind a house and was about to move forward again when suddenly she saw the man holding a lit tinder in his hand.

She shuddered, realizing the man's purpose in moving forward.

Oops!

She quickly wanted to rush forward to stop his actions, but the distance between them made it impossible for her to stop him.

She wanted to find something to get rid of the man, but there was nothing she could use.

In the blink of an eye, the man threw the tinder towards the gunpowder shop with force, as if he could see the arc left by the flame in the air and anticipated the subsequent accident.

In an instant, the breath froze along the arc.

She wanted to shout to the people in the house and escape desperately, but it only took a breath and she had no time to react.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise.

In the end, everything turned into a violent explosion, accompanied by invisible wind waves that destroyed everything.

The house exploded in the explosion, and red flames instantly engulfed the entire house.

She fell to the ground, with countless pieces of rubble pressing on her, and the murderer completely disappeared from her sight.

The loud noise also alarmed those who were rushing over. A horse screamed in surprise, and Xiao Yanqing was completely stunned on the spot. His heart froze and an indescribable fear spread in his heart.

As their horses galloped, they could already see flames burning not far away, and the smoke like dark clouds formed a barrier covering the sky.

"Yuer..." The voice calling her was trembling.

Without thinking too much, he rode his horse as fast as he could towards the gunpowder factory.

He began to pray that she was okay, praying that she was not in there, she must not be in there!
