Chapter 154
It was Du Lan who opened the door in the palace, and it was Song Huiyue who came. He was overjoyed and regretful—if the prince knew that the eldest lady came to the door, he might fly to change clothes and dress up, and put on a beautiful man trick. The seven meats and eight vegetarians for women fans.

After learning about Song Huiyue's intentions, he led him outside the study room, and knocked on the door lightly: "Chang Shi, Ba Ye, the eldest lady is here."

As for Yin Xiao, he acquiesced that he was part of Song Huiyue and did not inform Yin Xiao of his name.

There was the sound of dragging a chair in the room, and then Xie Zhou opened the door and welcomed Song Huiyue in.

As soon as she entered the door, Song Huiyue first saw the dusty You Song.

The clothes on You Song's body were already wrinkled into dried pickles, his beard was unshaven, and he looked exhausted and couldn't sit still. An servant supported him so that he didn't fall down. Although he didn't fall down, his eyes were closed and he let out a slight snoring sound.

Presumably the matter has been explained clearly, and you can sleep in peace.

"Du Lan, carry your brother to rest." Xie Zhou ordered.

Du Lan hurried in and carried You Song on his back, and carried him out steadily.

"Zhangzhang, starling." Song Huiyue said Wanfu.

"Call mynah to see you more, and call me Ah Zhou from now on." Xie Zhou was very displeased with the word "nature".

He asked Song Huiyue to sit down, went out and brought in a bucket of jujube with a ballet, and put it on the small table in front of Song Huiyue, moved a stool by himself, sat opposite Song Huiyue, and ate dates together.

Xie Chuan asked Song Huiyue: "Are your mother and Qinghui okay?"

Song Huiyue nodded: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine, Qinghui is still fat."

Xie Zhou stuffed a big jujube to Song Huiyue: "You are here to ask about the news of the prince, the prince is fine, let You Song bring the news back."

Before that, he also had a sad face, he didn't know where King Jin was, and after You Song came back, he let go of his hanging heart a little bit, but he didn't let go completely, his brows were still frowning.

Song Huiyue squeezed the jujube: "Is the prince all right?"

Xie Zhou replied vaguely: "I suffered a small injury, it's okay, it's been dealt with."

Song Huiyue immediately asked: "Is the factory really just collapsed?"

Xie Zhou immediately glanced at his old father, and seeing that Xie Chuan had no intention of stopping him, he said truthfully: "Sister Yue, the smelting field did not collapse, but an explosion occurred and died... More than [-] people, the workers inside Almost none came out alive."

Song Huiyue took a deep breath: "The tabloids only said... that Hedong Road had hidden it!"

Xie Zhou said in a low voice: "If the lord's guess is correct, it must be the Zhang family's tricks. In their eyes, human life is worthless."

"What does the prince want to do? Is there any difficulty?" Song Huiyue asked again.

Xie Zhou was surprised by Song Huiyue's intuition, and murmured: "Of course the prince doesn't want this matter to come to nothing, so he made a simple arrangement. On the capital side, the prince wants us to buy a lot of sulfur and saltpeter."

Song Huiyue thought for a while: "It's the end of the year, and these two things should be easy to buy in Kyoto. People who perform acrobatics with medicine and puppet fireworks, and the gun workshop that makes firecrackers all need a lot of sulfur and saltpeter."

Apart from Kyoto, these two things are easy to buy on the affluent Liangzhe Road and Liangguang Road.

When I was in Tanzhou, this thing was rare even in the new year, and the firecrackers were all transported by water from Liangguang Road to Tanzhou for sale.

Nowadays, the only place where large amounts of saltpeter and sulfur can be bought the fastest is Kyoto.

Xie Zhou frowned: "There are too many people staring at us, and if there is any movement, it will be easy for people to guess the purpose of the prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came to the corridor and said that there was a call letter, and the judge from Hudu came to visit Chang Shi.

"I really don't want to come to the door for any important event," Xie Zhou got up and walked out, "I don't want to do anything else today, just entertain guests."

News of King Jin's accident spread all over the capital, and there was an endless stream of people who came to inquire about the news. Some people could not see them, while others had to.

For example, the servants sent by the palace, and the colleagues in the capital.

He walked to the door, rubbed his face, with a sad expression on his face, as if mourning, and went out to express his grief.

Xie Chuan called him to stop: "I'll go see the people in Hudu."

These people are in the same division as the prince, so they need to be more careful.

So Xie Zhou came back, sat down on the stool, stuffed a jujube into his mouth, and said to Song Huiyue: "We have been in the capital for some time, and the Zhang family has been watching for so long. There are a few people who must have figured it out very thoroughly. You are in charge of the tea house, and you said to the outside world that you have settled down, but this relationship cannot be hidden from those who are interested. Big, it is too difficult to transport it out quietly, I have to find a way."

Song Huiyue squeezed the jujube in her hand, and after a while, she raised her head and looked at Xie Zhou: "I'll go."

With a date pit in his mouth, Xie Zhou expressed nervous doubts: "Are you going?"

"Well, it's not very far, and I can come back before the Chinese New Year." Song Huiyue took a sip of dates, "I'll go to the gambling room to find a gambler who is desperate to lose, and ask him to buy goods on the pier. When I got off the pier, I took a boat out of Kyoto and said to the outside world that I was looking for a doctor for Qinghui."

After thinking about it carefully, she said: "Let You Song drive the Taiping chariot to take the official road, the soldiers can be divided into two or three routes."

After finishing speaking, she leaned forward, embraced the fence, and began to think long and trivially, trying to make her sudden plan more thorough.

Xie Zhou sat beside him, breaking up what she said and thinking about it carefully.

Thinking of the end, a light flashed in his head, and he felt that there was a lot to be done about this matter.

"Sister Yue, I have an idea."

Song Huiyue raised her head and said with a smile, "Me too."

So when Xie Chuan was entertaining guests, the two talked to each other and finalized the method of transporting the saltpeter and sulfur out of Kyoto.

At noon that day, Song Huiyue went to the tea house and returned home at night. At midnight, Song Qinghui developed a high fever.

In December, the northern land dripped into ice, and Mrs. Song did not go out, but she was not affected by the cold wind. Tan Ran was strong and healthy, and could withstand the cold. Aunt Lin and Yuan Yuan had colds one after another, but their symptoms were mild, and neither of them had any symptoms. Seriously, he didn't expect Song Qinghui's body to be weak, and immediately after passing the sickness, his whole body would be hot, and he couldn't take medicine or food.

Tan Ran went to invite Dr. Zu overnight, and after seeing it, Dr. Zu shook his head again and again, telling Song Huiyue that all the crux was in the head.

I heard that there is a doctor who treats headaches in the Hebei Road area, Song Huiyue can try it.

Song Huiyue immediately chartered a passenger boat at the pier, and she couldn't even wait for dawn, so she was about to leave.

Yin Xiao entered from the outside and said to Song Huiyue, "Mistress, the boat has arrived and you can leave at any time."

Song Huiyue covered her eyes with a hot handkerchief, turned her head to Mrs. Song and said, "Mother, go into the room, I'll be back when I go."

Mrs. Song took the fox fur cloak and scarf from Yuan Yuan and wrapped them up tightly for her: "Be careful, go early and return early."

"I know."

Aunt Lin got out of the kitchen and brought the codonopsis chicken soup that had been boiled for half a night to Song Huiyue: "Drink it to warm up. If you go out at this time, there is not even a noodle eater on the pier."
