Because it was the Queen Mother's order, even if Chen Yuan was deliberately trying to fool him, he would have to go to the scene to observe.
But it doesn't matter, it does reveal some clues. You know, three or four days have passed since serious fireworks equipment exploded, and the mess in this place has not been cleaned up, as if waiting for someone to come and inquire about the news
"Master Chen?" Hua Qingxue raised her eyebrows at the people walking into the courtyard, and subconsciously glanced indoors.
His two apprentices are tinkering with the formula inside, and there is only one final step left to purify Zhentian Lei. No one can disturb them at this moment.
Although Chen Yuan would not go to inform the Liao Kingdom, he still had no clear position on whether he was an enemy or a friend, so he should still be a little more vigilant.
"I heard that there was an explosion here a few days ago, so I came over to take a look." Chen Yuan said calmly, as if he was walking by accidentally: "Hey? Where is General Fu?"
"There's something going on in Dongshi that requires him to go." Now that he's here, Hua Qingxue relaxed her mood and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Chen, would you like to sit down and have some tea?"
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "No, I'll just stop by and take a look. I have official business later, so I can't stay. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Why are you so talkative today? Hua Qingxue was a little surprised. After looking at Chen Yuan for a while, she felt that this person was a little confused.
It’s obvious this person’s temperament…
"Speaking of which, was the explosion very tragic?" Chen Yuan suddenly interrupted: "Look, there are so many debris and debris, why aren't they cleaned up?"
Hua Qingxue felt inexplicably nervous.
Previously, Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen were responsible for the disguise of the explosion scene, and they just wanted to fool Xiao Han's eyes. In addition, Hua Qingxue was banned for three days and had little chance to come to the laboratory, so it had been several days since this incident and no one had thought to clean it up.
Today was the first time she came here after being grounded. Although she saw a mess on the ground when she entered, Zhentianlei's purification work was more important and she didn't want to distract her staff to clean it up.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan came to visit at this time.
"I haven't been here these days, and my people have become lazy." Hua Qingxue pretended to be calm and replied, "I just came back, and I haven't had time to find anyone yet."
"Oh? Then do you want me to send some people over to help?" Chen Yuan said enthusiastically, with a hint of gloating in the smile on his face.
Hua Qingxue naturally saw that something was wrong with his expression, but she couldn't figure out what this man was thinking. Fu Yanye was not by her side at the moment, so she didn't have the confidence to be aggressive.
"No, junior brother and I are enough." At this time, Liang Wensheng walked out of the room and bowed to Chen Yuan: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness."
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, but said nothing more. He just said a few polite words and walked away.
"What's he doing here, master?" Liang Wensheng stared at the door where no one was standing, and asked a little strangely: "Come to test or something?"
Hua Qingxue's eyebrows moved slightly, and then she sighed: "It's probably not a test. Maybe the Queen Mother is determined not to give up, right?"
Zheng Shuwen was indeed unwilling to give up, but after hearing the message from Chen Yuan, she still didn't want to give up: "You couldn't find any other problems?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen has carefully looked at the scene and found nothing strange." Chen Yuan replied respectfully: "Weichen also met Mrs. Si Bing. It seems... she has lingering fears, and she must have been very frightened. "
Zheng Shuwen said nothing and suddenly put the water glass in her hand on the table: "Bang!"
When the maids and eunuchs nearby saw her posture, they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, fearing that their master would take it out on them if he was unhappy.
"I really underestimated this Hua Qingxue!" Zheng Shuwen said viciously: "How is this possible? What method did she use?"
Zheng Shuwen could not be fooled by Li Jingnan's rhetoric. It was only because of the situation that she had to choose to close her eyes for the time being.
Suddenly, an unexpected thought occurred in Zheng Shuwen's mind. She frowned in disbelief, and then she whispered in surprise: "Chen Yuan, do you think..."
Chen Yuan hurriedly possessed him, wanting to know what the Queen Mother had suddenly thought.
As a result, Zheng Shuwen was not in a hurry to speak out, but raised her hand to signal everyone else around her to get down.
When there was no one else in the palace, Zheng Shuwen waved to Chen Yuan to come closer.
Chen Yuan came closer and heard Zheng Shuwen lowering her voice and saying, "Do you feel that the emperor is hiding something from me?"
This question was not intended to affect Chen Yuan, but the latter was already a little jealous. After hearing the question, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed on his face.
Zheng Shuwen was staring at his face, so she saw the change in his expression completely, and couldn't help but ask: "What? What do you know?"
Even though a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, Chen Yuan maintained his original mood on the surface and quickly regained his composure: "I heard that General Fu and Mrs. Si Bing are making new weapons."
"Oh?" Although it was not the expected answer, Zheng Shuwen still raised her eyebrows: "New weapon?"
"Perhaps it is to prevent the invasion of the Liao Kingdom." Chen Yuan only learned a general situation from Li Jingnan, but did not know the details: "This is originally the responsibility of the Si Bing's wife and the general."
Zheng Shuwen nodded: "But what I'm asking is whether the emperor has concealed anything else? For example, the deployment and use of manpower?"
If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother had no doubts about him, Chen Yuan would have racked his brains to think of an excuse for himself.
But at this moment, he was a little confused about Zheng Shuwen, and he couldn't figure out what this person was thinking.
What other things has Li Jingnan done recently that are a bit outrageous in the eyes of the Queen Mother
"Go back to the Queen Mother, I don't know." Chen Yuan simply put aside his responsibilities and wondered if he should get some other information from the Queen Mother's mouth.
"That's weird." Zheng Shuwen frowned and said thoughtfully, "I always feel like something is going to happen in my heart."
Chen Yuan followed Zheng Shuwen's words and continued with two words of comfort.
When he came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Chen Yuan did not rush to Li Jingnan to report the situation, but stayed inside the palace wall for a while.
Sure enough, within a short while, a young eunuch quietly came to him and whispered: "Master Chen, the emperor has invited you."
Not only is Zheng Shuwen staring at Li Jingnan, the latter is also paying attention to the former's every move. The equal struggle between the two is really interesting.
If Chen Yuan hadn't been among them, he would have picked up melon seeds and watched the show by now.
From receiving the secret order to meeting Li Jingnan, it only took less than half an hour.
Chen Yuan thought that this little time would not make Li Jingnan anxious, so he did not expect to see the suppressed anger on Li Jingnan's face after meeting.
"See the Emperor." Chen Yuan was puzzled in his heart, but on the surface he still had to follow the formal procedures: "The Emperor asked the ministers to come here, what's the matter?"
"Did you go to see Hua Qingxue today?" Li Jingnan went straight to the point: "Do you know that you are also a very conspicuous person in Shengjing City now?"
Chen Yuan nodded and responded calmly: "Wei Chen is aware of this matter, but I have gone to see Si Bing's wife more than once. I don't think I have always attracted people's attention, right?"
"That's good luck! Xiao Han's men saw you walking through the busy city of Shengjing today, and they followed you to the outskirts of the city!" Li Jingnan looked like he had a headache: "Don't you want to keep a low profile?"
"Wei Chen believes that there is nothing to be low-key about." Chen Yuan's face was covered with a layer of coldness, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved: "How much the Queen Mother has opinions about Mrs. Si Bing, this is already the case even for Xiao Han. It’s something that everyone already knows very well.”
Li Jingnan frowned: "So?"
"Hua Qingxue has caused such a big mess. If the Queen Mother just ignores it, it will make Xiao Han suspicious." Chen Yuan put away the coldness on his face and continued: "Wei Chen is busy in the city. As you walk by, your behavior will be polite and it won't seem strange."
Li Jingnan was speechless for a moment. He really hadn't thought of this.
If the person he sent out to investigate today hadn't come back and said he saw someone following Chen Yuan, he might not have known that the Queen Mother had secretly sent people to investigate the situation at Hua Qingxue.
It seems that he was careless and forgot about the Queen Mother's unwillingness to give up.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have taken care of everything." Chen Yuan said calmly: "There is no suspicion on the part of the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Si Bing will be fine as well."
Li Jingnan nodded, letting the matter pass. Then he seemed to remember something, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he said: "Then Fu Yanye's side..."
"I didn't see him today. He said there was something going on in Dongshi and he wasn't with Hua Qingxue." Chen Yuan shrugged his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
He still remembers the last time he was cheated and humiliated by this couple of lovers!
"Dongshi?" Li Jingnan frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion on his face: "What is he doing there?"
There are many markets in Shengjing City, and the East Market is considered one of the more prosperous ones. It has a wide range of products and is very popular among the people. Just watching the excitement can make people feel happy.
Today, if Chen Yuan didn't want to walk less and save time, he would have passed through Dongshi.
"Do you need to send someone to investigate?" Chen Yuan asked from the side.
Li Jingnan thought for a long time, then shook his head: "Forget it, let him go. Anyway, he will not be involved in what happens in the city in a few days."
Although he said this, the little emperor's face was filled with deep worry.
