"This man has evil intentions. If we can't retrieve the imperial jade seal in time, it may lead to a great disaster. The emperor of the Qin Dynasty has already pointed the finger at me. He now suspects that I stole the jade seal."
Just mentioning this matter made Yuan Yuhan furious. He couldn't understand what was going on in the heads of those two people. If he had stolen the jade seal, he wouldn't have reported the matter to the emperor.
Jing Xinche was also full of disbelief when he heard this. This matter had nothing to do with the Fifth Prince at all. He really was sitting at home when misfortune fell from the sky...
Hearing this, A Ru couldn't help but burst out laughing. "It seems that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty is not so great. I don't think the Qin Dynasty can last much longer."
A Ru laughed heartily as if she were listening to a joke. Even she could see how stupid the emperor was. If the emperor continued to rule for another ten or twenty years, he might ruin such a large country.
Yuan Yuhan looked at A Ru warily. "Don't have any bad ideas. Be careful not to let me catch you, or I'll make sure you can't go back to Tianlin!"
A Ru pouted and didn't want to argue with him. She turned her head to the side and ignored Yuan Yuhan.
Mu Fengqie also felt that the situation was not good. The war between the Qin Dynasty and Beiming had just subsided not long ago, and now someone was already instigating a war between the Qin Dynasty and the Tule tribe. It seemed that this person had evil intentions and wanted more than just that.
"It seems that we'll have to go back after the war in Pingzhou is over. We can only deal with Master Kongtong after everything is resolved." Mu Fengqie frowned and said.
Jing Xinche also nodded. "What Qie'er said is exactly what I was thinking. If we can't solve this matter as soon as possible, we may never return."
The sky gradually darkened. A Ru and Yuan Yuhan left their yard together, leaving only Mu Fengqie and Jing Xinche in the room.
"It seems that someone in the imperial city can't wait any longer. You have to recover quickly, or there will be no one to protect me." Mu Fengqie said coquettishly.
She knew that his selfless spirit of sacrificing himself to save others was noble, but she still didn't want him to do such a stupid thing in the future.
After all, he wasn't the only one with internal strength. If he had asked the Fifth Prince for help, he might not have been so seriously injured. But he was just so stubborn. It was estimated that he would still make the same choice if such a thing happened in the future.
Jing Xinche smiled. Although his body was still very weak and he didn't even have the strength to move, he felt at ease just looking at Mu Fengqie.
"It's getting late. Come and rest. You must be exhausted these days, Qie'er?" Jing Xinche looked at Mu Fengqie guiltily, his eyes full of tenderness.
Mu Fengqie sighed and said slowly, "I'm not tired. It's just that the Tule tribe's attacks are becoming more and more fierce. I've researched something, but I haven't really made it yet."
Mu Fengqie wasn't a military professional after all. She only had a superficial understanding of gunpowder. She originally thought that she would succeed as long as she tried a few more times, but she found that it was really not as simple as she thought when she put it into practice.
"What is it? What's it for?" Jing Xinche asked in surprise.
Mu Fengqie lifted her feet and walked out. Just as Jing Xinche was about to get up to look for her, Mu Fengqie walked in with several bottles and jars in her hands.
She was startled when she saw Jing Xinche's movement and exclaimed, "What are you doing? I've already said that your body is still very weak and you need to rest well. Why are you so disobedient? You're such a grown - up and still so rebellious. What if our child is like you in the future?"
Mu Fengqie couldn't help but roll her eyes. She really didn't know what was in Jing Xinche's head. As a doctor, the patients she disliked the most were those who didn't take good care of their own bodies.
"What are these things in your hands? I thought you were going out and not coming back..." Jing Xinche lowered his head embarrassedly.
He didn't know when he had become so dependent on Mu Fengqie. He felt like something was missing in his heart if he didn't see her.
Mu Fengqie glared at him angrily. "These are the good things I told you about. Don't look down on the powders in these bottles and jars. They are the best weapons."
She thought that she would succeed as long as she mixed these things together, but unexpectedly, even though she had mixed them all together according to her memory, there was still no sign of ignition.
If it couldn't be ignited, it wasn't gunpowder. Ignition? That's right! The problem was here!
Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie slapped her head hard. She must have been too busy these days and her mind was not working well. Otherwise, how could she have forgotten the most important part?
No wonder the powders didn't explode after being mixed together. It was because there was no fire. She quickly found a fire source, then pinched a little bit of the powder and deliberately went outside the house.
Jing Xinche had been looking at her with a suspicious look in his eyes. He had no idea what she was going to do, but driven by curiosity, he still got up and followed her out.
Mu Fengqie was extremely excited at this moment. Although she had noticed Jing Xinche's figure, she didn't say anything this time.
"Qie'er, what on earth are you doing?"
"Don't ask for now. You'll know in a while. It's all or nothing this time. I hope God will give me a break and I won't fail again." Mu Fengqie stood there talking to herself.
She threw the candle in her hand onto the powder, then ran towards Jing Xinche quickly. After the powder came into contact with the fire source, there was a loud bang.
Although there wasn't much powder, it had such great explosive power. The grass in the yard was also set on fire. Fortunately, it was winter and there was still some snow on the ground, so it wouldn't cause much damage.
Mu Fengqie danced with excitement. She might be an ordinary little genius in manufacturing. She had even managed to figure out gunpowder. She was definitely a prodigy.
Jing Xinche was so shocked by what he saw that he couldn't say a word. He widened his eyes and stared blankly at the powder that hadn't burned out on the ground.
So this was the good thing Mu Fengqie had mentioned. These powders were indeed rare treasures. If this thing was used on the battlefield, it was estimated that the enemy would be scared out of their wits!
His eyes sparkled and his gaze drifted towards Mu Fengqie. She was really not an ordinary woman. How many more surprises did she have that he didn't know about?
