After leaving the palace, Zhao Wenxiang went straight back to the Neishi Yamen.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the yamen, and he saw his wife standing not far away.
He quickly asked, "Sister Yun, why are you here?"
Zhao Wenxiang and Qin Shuyun were childhood sweethearts and had a very deep relationship.
He called Qin Shuyun "Yunmei" and Qin Shuyun called him "Xiangge". They were not like ordinary couples who called each other "husband" and "wife".
Qin Shuyun took a deep breath and pointed at the box not far away.
"Brother Xiang, I just went to see Hao'er..."
When Zhao Wenxiang heard Qin Shuyun mention his son, his face immediately turned painful.
Without waiting for his wife to finish, he asked in a low voice:
"Hao'er, is he... okay?"
"I haven't visited him once. That kid must be very angry, right?"
Qin Shuyun shook her head and covered up, "No, no, I told Hao'er that you were busy during this period of time, and he didn't blame you."
Zhao Wenxiang shook his head and then smiled bitterly.
"Don't comfort me. As a father, I didn't teach him well, which led to him becoming what he is today. I am sorry for him!"
Qin Shuyun also felt the same way, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Brother Xiang, don't think like that. You are busy with state affairs. If we are to talk about responsibility, it is my responsibility as a mother..."
Zhao Wenxiang slowly grabbed Qin Shuyun's hand and comforted her softly:
"Okay, sister Yun, since things have come to this, don't think too much about it. It's just that the court is over early today, so I'll go see Hao'er and see that brat off for the last time."
Qin Shuyun heard this and then remembered Zhao Hao's matter, and immediately said:
"By the way, Brother Xiang, Haoer just asked me to bring you some things. He said these things can save his life."
Zhao Wenxiang was stunned and asked, "What is it?"
Qin Shuyun pointed to the wooden box next to her and said:
"It's in this box. Hao'er said it's a bomb made of gunpowder."
Zhao Wenxiang was completely confused.
"Gunpowder? Bomb?"
He walked over and opened the box, and saw ten wine jars of the same size neatly stacked inside.
Zhao Wenxiang said, "Sister Yun, is this what Hao'er was talking about?"
Qin Shuyun said quickly, "Hao'er said to put the wine jar in an open area and light the fuse. He also said that you would not believe it, but you would understand it all if you tried it yourself."
Zhao Wenxiang was stunned: "Did that kid really say that?"
Qin Shuyun nodded: "Hao'er also said that no matter how much you don't trust him, you should try this thing first."
Zhao Wenxiang smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Well, since he said so, I'll give it a try and see what his gunpowder and bombs are."
As he spoke, he took out a jar of wine from the wooden box and held it in his hand. Then he asked an attendant beside him for a fire starter and was about to light it.
Qin Shuyun was startled and quickly snatched the fire starter away.
Zhao Wenxiang was puzzled and asked, "Sister Yun, what are you doing?"
Qin Shuyun said anxiously, "Brother Xiang, Hao'er has repeatedly told me that the experiment must be conducted in an open area, and no one can be within thirty feet of the surrounding area."
"The person who lit the fuse must leave as quickly as possible, otherwise blood and flesh will fly everywhere!"
Zhao Wenxiang was shocked: "What did you say? Blood and flesh flying everywhere?"
Qin Shuyun said: "That's what Hao'er said."
Although Zhao Wenxiang didn't believe it, he didn't continue seeing how determined his wife was.
The group entered the yamen and found an empty yard.
Zhao Wenxiang ordered someone to place a jar of wine in the yard, while he and Qin Shuyun stood at the door about ten feet away and watched.
Qin Shuyun said with a worried look on her face: "Brother Xiang, is it really okay here? Hao'er told me that when the fire is ignited, no one must be within thirty feet!"
Zhao Wenxiang said, "Sister Yun, do you really believe what that boy said?"
Qin Shuyun was speechless: "I..."
To be honest, she didn't believe it either.
Zhao Wenxiang said, "Okay, don't worry, the distance is already quite far, I'm sure everything will be fine."
As he said this, he ordered his men in the courtyard: "Okay, light this thing on fire. Remember, come out immediately after it's lit!"
The people in the yard agreed, then blew the fire stick hard and lit the fuse on the wine jar.
The fuse burned and he immediately ran towards the gate of the courtyard.
Just as he was about to run to the door, a loud thunder suddenly rose from the ground.
The sound was deafening, and the terrifying power brought with it a tremendous air wave, blasting countless bricks and stones into all directions.
Even the houses collapsed with a loud bang.
Zhao Wenxiang and Qin Shuyun, who were standing at the door, were horrified.
Zhao Wenxiang reacted very quickly, hugged his wife in his arms, and was knocked to the ground by the air wave.
After an unknown amount of time, when everything had calmed down, he came to his senses, slowly turned over and checked on his wife's condition.
"Sister Yun, Sister Yun, how are you? Are you okay?"
"Brother Xiang, I'm fine, how are you?"
"I'm fine too!"
Zhao Wenxiang hurriedly helped his wife up from the ground.
But Qin Shuyun's whole body was like mud.
I can't stand at all.
She was extremely horrified and said, "Brother Xiang, what happened just now? Was God angry? This is terrible!"
Zhao Wenxiang took a deep breath and looked back into the yard, only to see that it was now in a mess.
A bloody corpse stood at the door. It was the man who had just been responsible for lighting the fuse.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Wenxiang's heart was filled with huge waves, and he was shaking all over and unable to speak.
At this moment, many people in the yamen also ran over quickly.
"Master Zhao, what happened?"
"Don't ask. Also, quickly give orders not to let anyone get close to this yard. This news must not be spread!"
Zhao Wenxiang gave orders immediately.
The subordinate nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I will go right away!"
Looking at the mess in front of him, Zhao Wenxiang was speechless for a long time.
Is this the fire and thunder bomb that my son created?
This kind of power is truly earth-shattering!
No wonder they say that blood and flesh will fly everywhere if the distance is close. It's really terrifying!
However, this is clearly a murderous thing, so how could that bastard say that this thing could save his life?
ah!
Zhao Wenxiang's whole body shook violently, and then he burst into laughter.
He grabbed his wife's hand and said excitedly:
"Sister Yun, this time that bastard Hao'er doesn't have to die! Our son doesn't have to die!"
Qin Shuyun didn't have his perspective, and immediately asked in confusion: "Brother Xiang, what's going on?"
Zhao Wenxiang said helplessly: "Sister Yun, it's hard to explain in a few words. You just need to know that our son will not die."
"You go home first. I will go to the palace to see His Majesty right away."
Qin Shuyun nodded, and then remembered something.
"By the way, Brother Xiang, Hao'er also gave me a memorial and asked you to pass it to His Majesty on his behalf."
"Oh? Show it to your husband!"
