There was no reason why Xiaodouzi was so frightened. After all, he knew what he had done like a mirror.
No matter how stupid he is, he can't shout out his grievances now.
"It seems that you don't take me seriously." Li Jingnan sneered, regretting that he didn't have anything extra to throw out, so he could only glare at Xiaodouzi: "As a slave, I can't even do anything to the master I want to serve. I don’t know, and you don’t need to stay any longer.”
These words did not say how to deal with Xiaodouzi, but at first glance, everyone present thought that he was going to be punished severely.
Xiaodouzi fell to his knees with a plop, crying and trying to make Li Jingnan change his mind.
The two young eunuchs next to him were obviously very frightened. They were trembling and didn't know whether to help and beg for mercy or choose to remain silent. They could only kneel down at the same time and looked at Li Jingnan helplessly, not knowing what to do.
"You..." Li Jingnan originally planned to ask Xiaodouzi to accept his crime and be punished. Even if he spared his life, he would still have to hit him dozens of times.
But when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
You can't hit this little bean, otherwise it will cause a big fuss.
Now is the time when the relationship between the mother and the queen is most unclear, so it is important not to let trivial matters trigger the fuse.
When Li Jingnan thought of this, he let out a long sigh and said, "I will punish you to go to the workshop and do hard labor for half a month."
One month is too long. If the queen mother wants Xiaodouzi to inquire about information, this time difference may cause some twists and turns.
It would be better to wait for half a month. Even if the Queen Mother really sensed something was wrong, she would not be so diligent in summoning a eunuch.
In this way, it is also excellent for Xiaodouzi to have a long memory.
Xiaodouzi was so frightened that half of his soul fell out. After hearing what Li Jingnan said clearly, his whole face suddenly returned to life, and tears overflowed from his eyes unconsciously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiaodouzi kowtowed firmly, just like the time he kowtowed at the door of the other courtyard during the day.
As the saying goes, too much words lead to mistakes, too many deeds lead to mistakes. Xiaodouzi now regrets why he is so restless and brings trouble to himself
Chen Yuan watched from a distance with a lively expression on his face, as if he didn't care about this episode.
The turmoil inside and outside the palace has actually just begun.
…
Hua Qingxue had a good night's sleep. In fact, she dreamed of herself and Fu Yanye reluctantly parting several times in her dreams, but the process was quite warm and there were no bad nightmares.
Fu Yanye went out early in the morning, saying that he seemed to have some clues about the soaring market prices.
Hua Qingxue didn't have any objections to this, and she didn't ask anyone to wait on her. She just got up and washed herself, ate a few snacks, and continued her research on Zhen Tianlei.
Yesterday's test frying effect was still good, but I always feel that there is still some room for improvement.
Seeing that Fu Yanye was about to leave Shengjing quietly, he had to make the improved Sky Thunder before then.
The octagonal glass that Su Shaowen sent yesterday was really beautiful. The walls were clear and thin, but the texture was actually quite strong and not fragile at all.
Even in the world I've been to before, it can be considered an outstanding quality.
Hua Qingxue was thinking about the cup all the way, feeling that leaving it in her hands seemed like a waste of resources. But if I give it away, firstly, I would be living up to Su Shaowen's respect, and secondly, I really don't know who to give it to.
This thing, just because it’s so good, doesn’t have a decent home.
"Master?" Just as Hua Qingxue was thinking, Su Shaowen suddenly appeared from the side, blinking his big watery eyes and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Hua Qingxue was startled. After seeing the person clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief and showed a praising smile: "I missed the cup you made yesterday. It was so good."
After hearing this compliment, Su Shaowen was stunned for a moment, then a bit of astonishment appeared on his expression, and then, as if something suddenly occurred to him, a look of enlightenment flashed across his face.
Although it is only a short moment, the expression changes extremely richly. Hua Qingxue happened to be staring at Su Shaowen's face with all her attention, so she saw everything without missing anything.
Strange, what happened to Shaowen
After Su Shaowen's expression changed briefly and quickly, he showed a big smile: "Oh? My senior brother must have given it to you, right? I spent a long time and energy grinding it out. It's fine if the master likes it."
The smile is bright, but it also hides some loneliness.
Hua Qingxue raised her eyebrows. The child's original plan was not to give the cup to the master, right
Oops, this is embarrassing. Does she have to do something
The successful test explosion of Zhentian Lei yesterday was a very inspiring thing. Hua Qingxue ordered Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen to help him to complete the purification matter.
However, a big accident happened.
Hua Qingxue was thinking about the proportioning problem when she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the yard outside. Not only did the ground shake three times, it also shattered several fragile appliances in the house.
What happened
Hua Qingxue hurriedly wanted to get up and walk outside the house, but before she could take a few steps, she heard huge noises one after another, and it sounded like the distance was gradually getting wider.
Could it be that something exploded
Although this place is far away from the residential area where ordinary people gather, there are still several households nearby. What if I don't manage it properly and injure someone
Hua Qingxue was a little confused. She was so confused at the moment that she couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly wanted to rush out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by the smell of gunpowder smoke, which made him cough.
Liang Wensheng hurriedly ran over from the door and shouted: "Master, it's not good!"
"What happened?" Hua Qingxue subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, unable to move forward or retreat for a moment.
Fortunately, the thick smoke had begun to dissipate at this moment, and within a few minutes, the situation outside could be vaguely distinguished with the naked eye.
"Are these some of the samples we tried out before?" Hua Qingxue stared at the fragments on the floor and asked in astonishment, "What's going on? Huh? Where's Shaowen?"
Liang Wensheng hurriedly wanted to answer when he heard this, but at this moment Su Shaowen hurried back from outside, looking extremely embarrassed with a disgraced face.
Hua Qingxue immediately stepped forward and took a good look at Su Shaowen. After confirming that her little apprentice was not injured, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was careless..." Su Shaowen's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of guilt: "The order was wrong, and the weight seemed... there was a mistake."
"Shaowen has always been very careful. What happened today?" Liang Wensheng was afraid that Hua Qingxue would blame him, so he hurriedly said, "It's good that everything is fine."
Su Shaowen didn't say a word, only lowered his head slightly, looking extremely depressed.
Hua Qingxue thought about it in her mind and guessed a possible reason. She was afraid that the glass cup was causing the fire yesterday, which distracted Su Shaowen while doing the experiment.
Ouch! This is no joke!
"Aren't you doing experiments here? Why do I hear explosions from the residents outside?" Hua Qingxue suddenly remembered the key point and asked hurriedly.
After Su Shaowen heard this question, his face became even more ugly, so he said with some anxiety: "Yes... I panicked and threw out some other instruments that were not detonated yet but were also prepared incorrectly."
The situation was tense at that time, and she threw them out before she remembered that these dangerous objects thrown away by her would threaten the safety of people outside. So regardless of her own safety, she rushed out to pick it up immediately.
Although it was still a step too late, the equipment containing dangerous concoctions exploded the moment they were thrown out, but Su Shaowen had carefully checked and found that there were no casualties in the surrounding area.
However, this matter must have caused quite a big fuss. Judging from the reactions of the people watching the excitement, everyone had some objections.
After hearing Su Shaowen's explanation, Hua Qingxue felt a little dizzy.
Such a big noise may not only be heard in the surrounding residential areas, but the news of the explosion will spread throughout Shengjing within half a day.
Although there were no casualties, it was something not easy to report. Especially at this moment, the prince of Liao Kingdom is still in Shengjing, so such a move is tantamount to alerting the enemy.
You must think of a justifiable reason, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
"Master?" Su Shaowen knew that he had caused a big trouble, and his tone became more worried: "I..."
"Hey, you and Liang Wensheng can continue working. Let me think about this matter." Hua Qingxue rubbed her forehead in distress, and did not forget to say one more thing: "Wen Sheng, look at Shaowen, Stop letting her think."
This actually means something, but how could Liang Wensheng understand it
Su Shaowen, on the other hand, couldn't help but turn red after hearing these words, and his expression was a little dazed.
"Hey, okay." Hearing that Hua Qingxue didn't mean to blame, Liang Wensheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief for his junior brother, and then took Su Shaowen to clean up the mess.
Later, as Hua Qingxue expected, the news of the explosion spread a lot within half a day. If it weren't for her title as the wife of a soldier, there would probably be many brave people who came to test the news and situation.
Fu Yanye, who was working in the city, heard the news and hurried to the other courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Hua Qingxue holding a porcelain cup and sipping tea with a calm expression. This scene made people angry and funny.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not hurt, and everyone else is fine too." Hua Qingxue put down the cup and finally showed a wry smile: "It's just that I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will also hear about this."
