Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 136: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 14

"Miss, this Prince Chu is really going too far. I will go back and tell Madam Gui!" She is truly worthy of being their prince's drinking buddy, and they are all of the same character.

Bai Lu was very disdainful, but Gu Li remained silent but was worried.

She had been disguising herself very well, and even the personal servant Gui Ma didn't realize she was pretending. But how could a good-for-nothing like Chu Yansheng discover her disguise after only meeting her twice?

I have a feeling that this person is not simple.

However, she didn't have time to take care of this person for the time being, so it was better for him to leave so that he wouldn't suddenly appear and cause trouble for her again.

The carriage quickly drove into the farm.

Manager Zhu, who had received the news, came forward to greet them enthusiastically.

"Where is Aunt Yu? Miss wants to see Aunt Yu."

Manager Zhu pointed to the mountains behind the manor and said with a smile, "Madam Yu is with a few people in the valley behind. They didn't come back last night."

"Are you still researching fireworks of different shapes?" Bai Lu didn't expect that Aunt Yu was so obsessed with fireworks that she didn't even come back to the farm to sleep at night. If the prince knew about this, who knows, something bad might happen.

Most of the servants working in the farm are men.

Gu Li pulled at Bai Lu's skirt and urged her anxiously, "Sister Bai Lu, let's go find Aunt Yu to watch the fireworks."

"Okay." Bai Lu nodded, "Manager Zhu, find two more reliable maids to take us to find Aunt Yu."

Under the guidance of two burly women, Gu Li quickly found the valley where Wei Lingyu was conducting the experiment.

"Miss, Aunt Yu and the others are in the cave in front." A maid said, pointing to the bare cave in front.

Gu Li looked around and asked curiously, "Why does this place look like it's been burned by fire?"

Not only was there no tree around, but the ground was also pitch black, like a burnt earth.

The old woman came here every day to deliver meals, so she knew more. "Oh, Master Yu accidentally dropped sparks while testing a new type of fireworks, which burned the grass and trees here."

Master Yu?

It seems that compared to the title of Aunt Yu, Wei Lingyu prefers her current identity.

Gu Li looked at the ground around her and winked at Bai Lu. Bai Lu immediately understood and asked, "What about those pits?"

If there weren't any blood and corpses now, I would have thought this place had become a battlefield.

There were potholes of all sizes piled up in a mess, and the ground was burned by fire. It just didn't look right no matter how you looked at it.

"That's Master Yu's new invention, the cannon. When you throw it on the ground, it not only makes a cannon sound, but also creates beautiful sparks." The old woman explained, "But Master Yu said that she hasn't developed the most reasonable formula for this cannon yet. When she finally develops it, even children will be able to hold it in their hands and throw it for fun."

Is that so? Gu Li looked at the holes on the ground caused by the explosion and remained silent.

Just as we approached the temporary adobe house built in front of the R&D cave, a patrol team of four people came from a distance.

Seeing the two women walking in front of him, one of them asked in confusion, "Grandma Li, it's not even time for dinner yet, why are you here so early?"

As they spoke, the four of them, eight eyes, all looked at Gu Li, and then looked at Bai Lu who was beside her.

The old woman smiled and replied, "This is the boss, looking for Master Yu. Is Master Yu busy?"

When the four heard the word "Dongjia", their expressions changed, but they soon put on smiles. The leader pointed at the person next to him and said, "Xiao Si, go to the forest to find Master Yu."

The boy named Xiao Si turned around and ran away.

Gu Li looked at the quarrel between the two people with cold eyes. The people in the manor were still his own people, but the people in the valley were not so sure.

What does Wei Lingyu want to do?

Gu Li can't let such a dangerous person escape from her control.

Gu Li lowered her head in thought, then followed Bai Lu into the adobe house to wait for Wei Lingyu to come back.

At this time in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, in the Duke's study, Chu Yansheng restrained his unruly and ruffian nature outside, and sat on a chair with a solemn face.

"Are you saying that someone is making gunpowder in the valley of Langyue Mountain?" The Duke, who was only in his forties, was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with elegant and gentle features. He sat upright on the armchair behind the desk. At first glance, he would never be associated with a military general.

"Yes, father. A few days ago, Uncle Huang and his men sent someone to tell me that the sound of fireworks exploding could be heard from the south of Langyue Mountain from time to time. At first, they didn't pay much attention to it. They only knew that a hundred acres of land on the south side of the mountain had been bought not long ago, and they thought the owner was celebrating there. But most of the fireworks sounded during the day."

Who has so much money that they want to burn it that they set off fireworks during the day?

"It's been like this for dozens of days in a row. In recent days, the noise has become louder and louder. Uncle Huang said it sounded like the sound of a cannon firing. They quietly climbed the mountain to check and found that someone was developing gunpowder."

The Duke's Mansion frowned, "Have you found out who the other party is?"

"Prince's Mansion."

"what?"

"The farm and the nearby fields are all registered in the name of the cousin of the Prince's Mansion."

This answer surprised the Duke. He thought the other party would conceal his identity since he was so shameless in making the forbidden items of the imperial court.

"Hehe, how stupid is Prince Yongping?" The Duke didn't know whether to laugh or not.

Do you think you can avoid the emperor's punishment by doing such a thing and blaming it on your cousin?

Even if the emperor dotes on that orphan girl, he will never let go of the Prince of Yongping who has ulterior motives.

"Instead of being a good prince, are you looking for death?" The Duke sneered.

His Majesty governs the country well. Now the country is peaceful and there are few wars on the borders. His noble families that have been following his example for generations have to avoid him and hand over their military power. What can the Prince of Yongping, an idle prince with no soldiers and no power, do?

This is the country that several generations of the Chu family have protected with their flesh and blood, and this ignorant child actually wants to create civil strife and provoke a war!

What a pampered bunch of people who have no idea of ​​the cruelty of war and the misery of the common people.

But, could Liu Baijiao, who even brought her maidservants to the palace banquet, have such ambition? Why didn't he see it?

Could it be that he made a mistake?

Chu Yansheng was silent for a while, looking at his father's frowning brows, and slowly said, "Father, do you really think it's the Prince of Yongping?"

The Duke paused while stroking Meixu's hand, "Could it be that someone is plotting treason by using Prince Yongping's hand?"

"I checked. The manor and the land were indeed bought by Miss Gu. During that period, the Prince's Mansion also bought a lot of servants who signed death contracts."

"You mean the orphan girl?"

Now, the Duke was even less convinced. It was far-fetched enough to say that the fool Liu Bojiao was the one who did such a thing, but now his son proposed that the stupid orphan girl who caused a scene at the palace banquet was the mastermind.
