Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 138: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 17

She pulled at Chu Yansheng's clothes and tried to get out, but was held down by Chu Yansheng's big hands. The clothes wrapped around her head closed a little, leaving only a small gap through which she could just see Chu Yansheng's chin.

Gu Li struggled to pull her hand away, "What did you say? Why can't I hear you?" she shouted loudly.

But she couldn't even hear her own voice.

Gu Li:----

She can't be deaf.

The horse under his crotch kept pacing due to Gu Li's twisting. After Chu Yansheng calmed Feiyun down, he carefully pulled open a corner of his clothes again.

He frowned, looked at her, and said slowly, word by word: "Are you okay?"

Gu Li stared at his lips, "I don't think I can hear you?"

Chu Yansheng patted her back gently, trying his best to let her understand his lip language: "It's okay, I'll take you back to the city to see the doctor right now!"

When Gu Li found out that she was deaf, she had no memory of being molested and urged Chu Yansheng to take her back quickly.

She had planned ahead enough, but the newly developed clay pot explosion bomb was not very powerful, and it actually deafened her!

Failed.

Even if its power is average, it cannot withstand the destructive power of a whole row of them exploding simultaneously.

"Wait, where's Bai Lu?" She seemed not to see Bai Lu.

Bai Lu was vomiting blood. He probably had serious internal injuries and couldn't move for the time being. He could only wait for the doctor to come to the farm.

"Don't worry, she will be fine. Hold me tight." After explaining, Chu Yansheng wrapped his clothes again, tucked the person into his arms, kicked the horse's belly, and rushed out.

The bumpy ride made Gu Li dizzy and she fainted before she could even reach the city gate.

The small hand that had been barely wrapped around his waist began to slide down little by little. Chu Yansheng used his chin to move the corner of her clothes away a little, and seeing that her breathing was steady, he pulled her closer to himself with one hand and rushed towards the city without stopping.

Fortunately, he met the royal guards who had arrived halfway and the old doctor who was shaken dizzy in the speeding carriage.

Chu Yansheng took the old doctor away and asked the old doctor's apprentice to go to the farm with the imperial guards.

He left a guard on the farm, and his man would explain clearly what the Imperial Guards wanted to know.

Gu Li was sent back to the Prince's Mansion.

After being awakened by one injection, she started to hold her head and said she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. Then she fell asleep after a few more injections.

When she woke up again, she didn't know how many days and moons had passed outside. She was so sore all over that she gasped for breath every time she turned over.

Bai Shuang, whose eyes were swollen from crying, came over immediately after hearing the voice, "Miss, are you awake?"

"Water, I want to drink water." Gu Li's throat was about to smoke, but when she caught a glimpse of a white shadow outside the curtain from the corner of her eye, she immediately shouted, "Quick, quick, I want to see the emperor, I want to see Uncle Jiuzhang!"

Li Zhong, who was standing in the shadows, came out, but he only stood outside the bed. He smiled and asked, "Miss Gu, why do you want to see His Majesty? I will convey your message to you."

Gu Li shouted hoarsely, "No, I want to see him in person, now!"

Li Zhong's smiling eyes slowly became calm. He carefully looked at the anxious expression on Gu Li's face and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

When Li Zhong turned around and left, he also took away the imperial physician who was waiting in the outer room.

Gu Li was neither a minister nor a concubine, so she could not go to the imperial study to see the emperor. The eunuch took her to the queen's Fengyi Palace.

The emperor was waiting for her there.

Not many people knew that the emperor had liked Jiang Yuan when he was young, and the queen was one of them.

So no matter how much the Queen Mother liked Gu Li, the Queen could not get close to her.

At most, not targeting her was already considered magnanimity on the part of the queen.

This is also the reason why Gu Li, despite the emperor's favor, is not well-known among the ladies in Beijing.

If you please the Queen Mother, you will offend the Queen.

Such people should just be kept at a distance.

Now that the Queen Mother is not in the palace, Gu Li can only be summoned through the Queen.

When Gu Li arrived, the emperor had already arrived, but the queen had gone somewhere unknown.

Gu Li was helped by the palace maids into the main hall. When she saw the emperor in the dragon robe, her eyes welled up with tears. She looked aggrieved, as if she had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.

The emperor dismissed the irrelevant people, looked at the person standing crookedly, and sighed, "Li Zhong, help her sit down."

Gu Li knelt on the ground with a plop. "Your Majesty, I, I found gunpowder. Lots of gunpowder. Gunpowder that can blow up a mountain! It's on my farm in the western suburbs."

The Imperial Guards had already reported what they had found out. "Do you know how long you were unconscious?"

Gu Li shook her head and turned to look for her maid, but the only person left in the room besides the emperor was the eunuch Li Zhong.

The emperor asked again: "Ali, have you recovered your memory?"

Gu Li was stunned and looked up at the emperor. For a moment, as if she thought of something embarrassing, she pursed her lips and nodded.

The emperor looked at Li Zhong and said, "Call the imperial physician here!"

"Yes." Li Zhong walked out with his body bent.

"Do you remember what happened at the palace banquet at the beginning of the year?"

Gu Li was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Remember, remember."

The emperor leaned back in his chair, seemingly not in a hurry at all, just watching Gu Li's brows getting more and more furrowed.

"Uncle Jiuzhang, why don't you care about what I said about the gunpowder on my farm? I was almost blown to death."

The emperor pointed his index finger at the armrest and said, "Well, Wei Lingyu is already in the Dali Temple."

"Ali, can you tell me what you did on the farm?"

Gu Li nodded heavily, perhaps a little too much, and felt a little dizzy for a moment. She held her head to calm down, and then said, "Madam Yu came to me two days after she entered the Prince's Mansion, saying that she wanted to open a shop with me to sell some different rouge and powder.

The goods were provided by Aunt Yu, and I only had to rent out an unused shop. I was bored at the time, so I agreed.

The things that Aunt Yu developed are really good. Aunt Gui even sent a lot of them to the ladies and princesses in the palace. The nobles all like them very much. The shop is open and the business is very good.

Especially for the glass cups, it is said that the order list is very long. Aunt Yu said that she would build a farm outside to make kilns.

I set up another farm, and the rest were all done by Aunt Yu.

In the morning, I went to the farm to play with Aunt Yu, but Aunt Yu took people into the mountains to look for sand and gravel, so I wandered around the workshop and went to explore the cave where the fireworks were stored with Bai Lu.

Then I saw rows of pottery jars in the cave. I asked the woman in the village why so many jars were placed here, and the woman said mysteriously that they were the newly invented cannons by Aunt Yu.

I had never seen firecrackers before, so I asked her to demonstrate it to me.

The old woman took a clay pot to the open space outside, lit the fuse on it and threw it out.

At this point, Gu Li opened her eyes wide and looked at the emperor, her face full of disbelief, "That small pottery jar actually blew such a big hole in the mud, and the mud was blown up!"

Gu Li clasped her hands together, making a big circle in front of her chest.
