Quick-wearing villain Bai Yueguang is very sultry

Chapter 419 The princess is sick physically and mentally (17)

The moonlight spilled in from the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the ground was mottled.

The girl in a white skirt from Tsinghua University was sitting on the stone bench, her eyes were carelessly lowered, as if she was thinking about something.

Fu Jiu hesitated for a while, but still called out in a low voice.

"Princess."

The girl was slightly stunned, and turned to look at him.

"You haven't eaten for a day. There is no cook in the Taoist temple, so I made some." He took the chessboard from the stone table away, and then put the tray with food on it.

Chu Cha looked at the potato shreds in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became hot.

She picked up some chopsticks and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing carefully.

But no matter how you chew, you can't taste the potato shreds.
She has no sense of taste.

Fu Jiu was thinking about how to open his mouth to coax people, and there was a softness in his arms. The girl tightly wrapped her arms around her waist, buried her head in his chest, and sobbed softly, "Brother Fu Jiu, I have only you left."

Fu Jiu's body froze immediately.

He didn't know if it was because of the 'brother' or the sentence
'I only have you left. '

Fu Jiu knew that now he should gently push the princess away, and kneel on the ground to plead guilty, but unexpectedly he was very greedy for this palpitation.

"Subordinates will never leave the princess." His voice was low and soft.

"Really?" The girl raised her head from his chest, revealing her eyes that were flushed from crying, which were still full of water at this moment.

"The subordinate is the shadow of the princess, where the princess is, Fu Jiu will be there."

Fu Jiu's face was slowly turning red, but he surprisingly didn't stutter this time, and very smoothly said the words that he had said countless times in his heart in front of her.

Her mood seemed to improve a lot because of these words, those beautiful eyes were no longer filled with deep sadness, but with more expectation and hope, "Then what if I change?"

"A princess will always be a princess, and your subordinates will always be your sword."

Chu Cha started to prepare the gunpowder.

This plane's research on gunpowder is basically at zero stage, not even fireworks.

Chu Cha did not intend to directly make powerful explosives for use on the battlefield for Emperor Ming, but slowly gave him sweets.

She wrote a list and handed it to Emperor Ming, and asked him to find someone to make it himself.

Emperor Ming couldn't wait to try it. Basically, he immediately sent people to extract the so-called unheard-of 'nitrate' from the piles of pigeon manure and pig manure, and then used a special method to extract a substance with a very strange name from the nitrate. The substance is written on the list of Chucha, it seems to be called 'potassium nitrate'.

Afterwards, a variety of elemental substances are combined, and it is made in the order of boiling nitrate, configuring, mixing, and spreading to dry.

In the end, it was made into a black and white thing.

Emperor Ming sent someone to experiment, and asked someone to set the thing that looked like black soil on fire.

Just hear a 'bang'!
The smoke immediately filled up, and when it cleared, it was found that the official in charge of lighting the fire was already covered in black, with tattered clothes and hats, his face was black and gray, and his hair was in balls. He was very miserable.

Emperor Ming was overjoyed, and after learning that the gunpowder could be further improved, he immediately and happily gave Chu Cha a princess mansion in Kyoto, becoming the first princess in history to own a mansion without getting married. She arranged many servants and countless jewels as rewards.

for a while-

The name of 'Langhua' directly resounded throughout the Great Xia Kingdom because of this explosive.

Just when everyone thought that Chu Cha's achievements stopped here, what happened next made the people of the Great Xia Kingdom directly mention the Seventh Princess who was born with a bodhisattva face with cinnabar between her eyebrows, and they were full of reverence.

She has brought the function of gunpowder almost to the extreme.

This is no longer just a weapon used by the royal family to think about how to conquer the city, but a good object for the whole family to cheer and celebrate the festival.

When the word 'firework' appeared, all the common people could not understand it.

Until the princess of Tsinghua Ruyue brought all the people in the city to the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, where hundreds of things called 'fireworks' were placed.

Then everyone knew the magic of this thing.

It can actually fly into the sky, and then suddenly explode, the brilliant colors occupy the entire night sky, it is definitely a great visual enjoyment!
At the same time, using ice in summer is no longer a treat that nobles and royals can enjoy.

The Seventh Princess then actually extracted a thing called 'saltpeter' from the gunpowder. After it was dissolved in water, it would actually lower the water temperature or even freeze it, and the saltpeter could be reused? !
'The ice and snow in Chang'an are as expensive as the golden wall in summer. ' has become a thing of the past.

For a time, various types of ice drinks became popular among the people.

Especially a kind of food called 'ice cream' was invented by that little Bodhisattva.

First heat the cream until it is almost melted, then drip it on the ice on the plate, and slowly pile up to form a small hill, and put some flowers on it as an embellishment. It is not only delicious, but also beautiful.

A poet named Wang Lingran traveled to the capital and tasted this kind of food. Immediately, he felt that his mouth melted. The coldness and sweetness hit his heart. Affection.The plain hands are drenched and the image rises, and Xuandong dries up and becomes a body.The foot is the same as the frost and dew condensation, which is not different from the accumulation of water and ice.The roots and toes are in one device, and the pseudo-cliff calyx is in Siming. '

In addition, there are 'sugar mung beans', 'iced watermelon', 'ice and snow cold water', 'lychee cream', 'licorice soup', 'water papaya' and other summer delicacies.
In less than a few months, this little Bodhisattva has brought them so many surprises. The cinnabar between her brows seems to have become her signature feature, and all the people call it "born auspicious".

The night was getting dark.

After Chu Cha left the Empress Dowager's Yongning Palace, he got on the sedan chair to go outside the palace.

During this period of time, the relationship between her and Concubine De has been maintained in a state where both of them know each other well, but on the surface they are still as close as ever. She has been searching for Concubine De's purpose without any trace.

She thought she hadn't gained anything.

But some time ago, I heard some news from an old palace man who was in charge of delivering food to the cold palace:
When Concubine Liu was thrown into the cold palace back then, she was depressed but her body looked healthy. She left after delivering the food, but she didn't want to find out that she had dropped an earring at night, so she followed the route of the day to find it. , and finally found Leng Gong, only to find that there was a faint voice coming from it.

Afraid of being discovered, she hid behind the green bamboo, planning to wait until the matter was over before leaving.

After all, in a place like Lenggong, every concubine who is sent in always has one or two enemies, and it is very common to be ridiculed by the enemies, but I don't want the scene she saw to be so shocking.

When a court lady with excellent temperament came out, she was carrying a bloody basket in her hand.

After the man left, before she could find the earring, she thought it might have fallen into that room.

and secretly pushed open the door——

But it was found that Concubine Liu had no signs of life, her chest was full of blood, and her heart was taken away by life. She seemed to be alive when her heart was taken away, and her eyes were so big that she almost got out because of the pain. The eye sockets and mouth were also wide open, and there were all kinds of bugs crawling around in her mouth.

She was startled but dared not scream.

He quickly got out of the cold palace and went back to his residence. The next day he claimed to be sick and said he couldn't deliver food. The mother beat him up quite a bit, but he saved his life because the person who went to deliver food to the cold palace that day never came back .

Immediately, His Majesty the Emperor claimed that Concubine Liu died by committing suicide, and did not intend to pursue the matter further.

This matter, the old palace man originally planned to die in his stomach, but Chu Cha promised her to go out of the palace to spend her old age in peace, so she said it outright. After all, serving the king and concubines in this palace is always on fear Yes, maybe one day he will lose his head.

Going out of the palace is very tempting.

As for the maid who took Liu's heart back then, she must have been Concubine De.
