tea girl Mingxiang

Chapter 57 The Explosion Outside the Palace Wall


The matter is clear at a glance, Zhang Yue's sophistry is useless, of course she also has self-knowledge, and when Zhang Yuan finished speaking, she kowtowed and apologized, "The concubine was confused for a while, please forgive me for the sake of my many years in the mansion. Go back, I won't dare to do it again next time!"

"It's impossible to forgive you," Ji Changjing's words were like a cold and sharp knife, cutting off Zhang Yue's way of life. Ah, send Mrs. Zhang to the Zongqing Mansion."

Zongqing Mansion is the place where Shangyang Kingdom specializes in interrogating and detaining the imperial relatives who have committed crimes. Anyone who enters this place, no matter how noble your status is before, will be thrown into the dungeon. See you again.

When Zhang Yue was dragged away, she kept yelling for mercy, but even if she broke her throat, Ming Xiang wouldn't blink.

She will never let anyone who is so crooked and wants to plot against her in this life!

"Is the princess still satisfied?" Ji Changjing filled Mingxiang's teacup with tea.

Ming Xiang swallowed the full cup of tea, imitating Ji Changjing's usual tone, and said, "I am very satisfied."

"Then what reward does the concubine have for this king?" Ji Changjing stared at his concubine with burning eyes.

"Here," Mingxiang thought of the kiss that Ji Changjing asked for last time, and thought that this guy would ask someone to kiss him again. thing to come.

Ming Xiang pursed her lips tightly, then made up her mind, stood up, walked to Ji Changjing's side, bent down, and planted a kiss on his face.

Ji Changjing was stunned by the kiss for a while, and then reacted with a smirk.

His smirk happened to be seen by Zhang Yuan who had just walked out and turned back. It really doesn't mean that his eyes are not sharp. Think about it, Ji Changjing, who is used to being arrogant and seldom smiles on weekdays, smiled suddenly As if he picked up ten thousand taels of gold, how can Zhang Yuan not get goose bumps all over his body.

Mingxiang walked away shyly after kissing.

Ji Changjing asked Zhang Yuan angrily, "Why are you back?"

Zhang Yuan found a chair and sat down, opened the folding fan in his hand, although it is already the season of winter, but holding the fan is his signature move of Mr. Zhang Yuan, of course he has to play handsome at any time,

"How is Xiao Su doing?"

Ji Changjing replied, "It's in progress."

"Then when can I watch the show?"

"Tomorrow there will be a big show in the court." There will be a good show tonight.

On the second watch of the night, Ming Xiang was soundly asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a loud "bang" explosion.

Not only Mingxiang was woken up, but almost all the common people in Shangjing were so shaken by the loud noise that they couldn't sleep. They all got up from the bed, opened the door of the house, and waited for some great event to happen.

Ming Xiang stood up halfway, intending to understand what happened outside, what she heard just now was clearly the sound of an explosion, probably only gunpowder could make such a shocking sound in the world.

There was a gunpowder explosion in Shangjing, it was not a trivial matter, Mingxiang thought a lot for a while, she even thought that if the gunpowder explosion tonight was complicated, she might have to work her grandfather out.

When she was about to get up, Ming Xiang's body was half up, and she was pushed down by the man sleeping next to her, and she fell back into the bed.

"sleep."

The man's arms were really strong, and Ren Mingxiang couldn't break them apart no matter what, Mingxiang appointed him to close his eyes and fall asleep again.

On the second day in court, the emperor was furious.

"Can any of you tell me what happened last night!" Ji Zhengkang was furious. The explosion happened outside his palace wall yesterday, how could he not be frightened and angry.

Faced with the emperor's anger, none of the officials below dared to speak out, and those who dared to speak out did not know what was going on.

Ji Zhengkang was so angry that he coughed.

He looked around at the courtiers below, and wherever his eyes went, there was silence.

In the end, he turned his eyes to the mansion of the inspector's mansion in charge of the defense of the capital and the commander of the imperial army standing in front of him on the left, "Gao Zheng! You should tell me how you did it! And you, Wei Shen, I entrust the safety of this palace city to your hands, and now this gunpowder explosion happened outside my palace walls, outside the palace walls!" He pointed excitedly at the two important court officials.

Gaozheng, the official of the inspector's office, immediately knelt down, no matter whether he was wrong or not in this matter yesterday, he had to admit his mistake to the emperor, "I'm not doing my job well, please forgive me."

Wei Shen also took off the sword on his body, took off the armor of the leader of the Forbidden Army, and knelt down to plead guilty.

After the emperor got angry, he calmed down and thought about it for a while. Now the top priority is not to punish, but to investigate the matter clearly and completely clear out the source of danger is the most important thing.

"Hmph, I ordered the two of you to investigate the matter clearly within three days, and come back to me after three days. If the two of you haven't found out after three days, I will take you two as questions!"

Gao Zheng and Wei Shen replied at the same time, "Yes!"

The emperor was so angry that his throat hurt and his head hurt, he rubbed his temples, "You guys have something to play, if you don't have anything else, let's go."

After waiting for a while, no one spoke.

"Then let's go, Mr. Ming stay here for a while."

Ming Anting accompanied Ji Zhengkang to the imperial study.

"Just now Gao Zheng and Wei Shen were asked to investigate this matter within three days. I'm afraid there will be no results. I also know that this matter is more difficult. I asked the two of them to investigate the case, but it was only on the bright side, after thinking about it. , I think it's more reassuring to leave this matter to Ming Lao."

Ming Anting did not refuse. As the general of the Shangyang Kingdom, he should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in wartime, and help the monarch share his worries when there is no war. To be honest, he was also very angry about yesterday's gunpowder explosion. Not to mention the heavy city of Shangjing, under the feet of the emperor, there are so many ordinary people who cannot be in danger of gunpowder explosion at any time.

He said solemnly, "My minister, I should share the worries of the emperor."

Ji Changjue, who returned to the East Palace first, left the palace in a short while and went to the Prince's Mansion where he was about to stay.

Originally, today he was [-]% confident that he could hit the third prince hard, at least deprive him of his right to participate in and discuss state affairs, but who would have thought that a gunpowder explosion happened at the foot of Miyagi last night.

If it was before, even if there was an explosion in the palace, as long as it didn't affect him, he wouldn't take it to heart.The point is, there is now a lot of gunpowder in the newly built basement of the Prince's Mansion!Naturally, he was in no mood to deal with the third prince's brothel.

As soon as Ji Changjue arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he went straight to Xiao Su's room.

"Xiao Su, what happened yesterday?"

Xiao Su is currently researching a new type of weapon, which looks very compact. Hearing the words of the prince, he is still unhurried, and continues to work on the necessary parts, while replying, "His Royal Highness asks me, how do I know, To put it bluntly, Xiao is just a craftsman, and he only cares about how to create amazing mechanisms."

The meaning in the words was to clearly tell Ji Changjue that he didn't know anything about what happened yesterday, even if Ji Changjue questioned him angrily, there was no result.

Ji Changjue stared at Xiao Su, and said, "But the crown prince just hid gunpowder in the basement, and there was a gunpowder explosion outside the palace wall yesterday. It must be a bit of a coincidence between the two."

Hearing this, Xiao Su stopped his work, and two deep valleys appeared between his brows, "Could it be that His Royal Highness is suspicious?"

Ji Chang never spoke, which was the default.

Xiao Su, "His Royal Highness, Xiao Mou voluntarily joined your sect, in order to wash away the charges of fugitives one day. When His Royal Highness ascends to the supreme position, I only hope that His Royal Highness will grant the next free body."

"For this reason, Xiao tried his best to build an impenetrable basement for His Highness, and set up many traps for the Prince's Mansion, but now it's just a small explosion yesterday, and His Highness is going to suspect me?"

When Xiao Su said this, Ji Changjue was shaken. Besides, he was not a suspicious person in the first place, so he calmed down a little, "In this case, the prince will believe you."

For this, Xiao Su simply replied two words, "Thank you." Then he stopped talking, feeling a little wronged.

This made Ji Changjue even more convinced. Before leaving, Ji Changjue asked out his doubts, "Because of what happened yesterday, if the person in charge of this case finds out here, are you sure?"

Xiao Su was very confident, "His Royal Highness, don't worry, no one in this world can solve the organs set up under him unless the master under him comes alive."

Only then did Ji Changjue leave in peace.

After he left, Xiao Su took a deep breath, and at the same time, there was a flash of sarcasm on his face.

His master has cast this net for so long, and he can finally collect it.

It can be said that the preparations for Xiangxiang's tea art competition are in full swing. After she released the information about the schedule of the tea art competition, there were many registered participants from all over the country, and of course the most participated in Beijing.

In two more days, the registration period for the tea art competition will be closed. Liu Gui is currently counting the number of participants, taking stock of the contestants and judges.

Mingxiang watched with interest from the side.

"Father, how's the situation?"

"There are a lot of contestants, but the ratio of contestants and judges is a bit out of balance. Judging from the contestants in Shanghai, only one out of ten people signed up to be a judge."

This is indeed a problem.

If there are too few judges, the competition system will have to be extended. If the competition system is too long, it will easily reduce people's attention to it. This is obviously not a good thing, and she has to find a way to solve it.

Mingxiang was thinking hard when Ji Jinghui came.

She dragged Mingxiang to a place where there was relatively no one in a mysterious yet excited way, and whispered into Mingxiang's ear, "My concubine mother is pregnant!"
