Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 139: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 18

The emperor listened carefully and saw Li Zhong and the imperial physician coming to the door, but he did not let anyone in.

"Then how did you end up buried in the cave?"

Gu Li curled her lips and said, "I was so curious about what was hidden in that small jar, how could it be so powerful. So I sent the old woman away, and Bai Lu and I quietly slipped into the cave.

I wanted to see what was inside, but the seals of the jars were too strong and neither Bai Lu nor I could open them.

In a rage, I smashed it to the ground. Unexpectedly, it broke and exploded at the same time. Bai Lu helped me block it, but before we could run to the cave entrance, the pottery jars in the cave started to explode one after another. We only had time to hide behind the rocks, and I don’t know anything after that. ”

At this point, Gu Li remembered that Bai Lu, who was vomiting blood after being blown up, still wanted to shield herself from the explosion. Her eyes turned red, "My maid Bai Lu, she, she----"

The emperor didn't know what to say. Only a mentally ill person could do such a thing.

And there was the silly maid who accompanied her master, "Don't worry, your maid is still alive." Although she hasn't woken up yet, she is also being monitored.

However, after listening to Gu Li's story, the emperor thought that there was no need to waste any more manpower on that silly maid.

The emperor waved his hand and Li Zhong came in with the imperial physician.

Gu Li was helped to sit on a chair nearby, and the imperial physician examined her.

"Your Majesty, Miss Gu only has some superficial injuries on her body. She will heal in a few days. But she was frightened and hasn't eaten properly for three days. She is very weak and needs to be replenished."

"She said she has recovered her previous memories. Go and see what's going on."

The imperial physician replied respectfully: "The swelling on Miss Gu's forehead has disappeared. It is possible that the blood clots in her brain were washed away by coincidence after this collision."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go and write a prescription. If you need any herbs, just ask Li Zhong for them."

"Yes!" The imperial physician bowed and retreated.

Gu Li heard something, "Three days, why haven't I eaten for three days?" She touched her empty stomach, no wonder she was so hungry, and felt dizzy when she shook her head.

It turns out he was hungry.

"Yes, Miss Gu, you were in a coma for three days and two nights!"

"Li Zhong, have someone bring the food over." He then said to Gu Li, "Eat here and I'll have someone take you back. You've escaped death and suffered a lot, so go back and have a good rest."

"Yeah, I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow!" Gu Li muttered softly.

The emperor added: "As for your farm and the people on it, you may not be able to use them for the time being."

Gu Li: "I know. When I was young, I lived in Tongguan Town with my father for two years. I saw the artillery and explosives in the frontier with my father. I don't know why Aunt Yu has such great ability to research such powerful things. Hand over the manor and the people in it. I don't want the Wanxi shop in the capital anymore!"

The emperor smiled, "You don't have to give up because of a setback. You can continue to run the shop, but as a girl, you should not get involved in the fireworks business. After all, the Queen Mother and your aunt have already prepared your dowry. I will also give you another one when the time comes!"

Gu Li blushed quietly, but her face fell again when she thought of Liu Baijiao. "My cousin slapped me in the face like that, and took advantage of my unconsciousness to do such a thing. Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me and canceling the engagement with my cousin."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. Who wouldn't like a child who knows how to be grateful?

"I will not take your manor and people for nothing. I will send compensation to the Prince's Mansion later."

He added: "As for your future husband, the Queen Mother and your aunt will come back to arrange it for you. You just need to go back and take care of yourself and don't let them worry."

"Yeah. I know everything."

After seeing the emperor off, Gu Li ate her fill. When the empress came back, she paid her respects to her and left the palace to return to the Prince's Mansion.

"Hey, hasn't Aunt Gui come back from visiting relatives yet?" The only person who served her personally on a daily basis was Bai Shuang.

Bai Shuang's eyes were swollen like walnuts. She was extremely grateful that the young lady had finally regained consciousness. This was the only good thing that had happened in the past three days.

"Miss, you don't know how angry the emperor was after this incident. Nanny Gui was summoned back to the palace without even going back to the prince's mansion. Even the prince who was confined to the mansion was summoned to the palace by the emperor, and he hasn't returned yet."

The emperor was not only worried about her, but also about the serious things happening on her farm.

This is to find out whether the gunpowder on Zhuangzi existed for a purpose or was obtained by accident.

How can we let go of matters concerning the country's destiny so easily?

If Gu Li had not been a child with limited intelligence and memory during the gunpowder manufacturing period and had not nearly died in the explosion, she would not have walked out of the palace so easily.

She was a demented person who did not have the mind or purpose to make explosives, but she was the one who revealed the existence of this Zhuangzi. After she regained consciousness, she took the initiative to report it to the emperor, and only then did she return safely.

This is also the reason why Gu Li has been playing dumb until now. A fool can blatantly put the manor under her own name, and then let people develop gunpowder on her manor without any hesitation. No matter how you think about it, she must have been calculated by others.

In this case, it would be easier for her to clear suspicion.

When it comes to national affairs, the palace would rather kill someone by mistake than let someone go by mistake.

Don't test how much the emperor loves you. The emperor, who was once a young man, could give up his beloved woman for the sake of his country. How could the emperor who is now in charge of the government act on impulse?

Besides, she is just Jiang Yuan's daughter.

The emperor's favor fades each time it is used, so she wants to keep it for use in critical situations.

Without asking, Gu Li knew that Liu Baijiao must have been imprisoned in the clan house. At this time, the royal blood flowing in his body would make him regret his lust for Wei Lingyu.

Gu Li pretended to be stupid and only recovered now, so that she would have nothing to do with Liu Baijiao before the things on the farm were exposed.

She just agreed to the olive branch offered by Liu Bojiao's concubine out of curiosity. When buying a shop, the manor and the servants all went through Gui Mama's hands.

Nanny Gui is the emperor's person, and her suspicion can be cleared more easily through Nanny Gui's words.

Besides, she was innocent.

She just knew in advance what Wei Lingyu, who was eager to show his importance, would do.

Then she waited for the opportunity.
