Chapter 212 Liu Jinshu and Prince Ming have an affair
After Liu Jinshu swallowed the pill, he crumpled the note into a small ball and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
The bitter medicine slid down her throat, and she felt her body go limp and she fell to the ground.
Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation
Emperor Showa was half asleep when a eunuch came hurriedly to report.
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Showa opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch said: "The one in the cold palace, the concubine of the King of Qi, is dead."
"I am afraid something might happen, so I came to inform Your Majesty."
Emperor Showa's expression changed and he stood up.
"What did you say? Liu Jinshu is really dead?"
The eunuch nodded and said, "She's dead. I heard that the palace maids and nannies who brought her food only came every few days. Liu Jinshu must have starved to death."
Emperor Zhaohe's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "I still have a use for Liu Jinshu, but I didn't expect him to die like this."
"Since she's dead, have her body thrown into a mass grave and have the maid who brought her food punished with a cane."
The eunuch nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
At dawn, someone entered the side courtyard of the cold palace, lifted Liu Jinshu's "corpse" from the ground, and took it directly to the mass grave.
Liu Jinshu's consciousness was blurred, but he also felt that he had really left the palace.
She closed her eyes tightly and felt someone dragging her off the carriage.
The man threw her with force and her body hit the ground heavily.
As the figure walked away, Liu Jinshu suddenly opened his eyes.
The surroundings were pitch black, with no visibility of the wilderness.
You can also smell a strong smell of blood.
She stepped on the dry bones beside her and crawled out of the pile of corpses, and then several guards in black walked up to her.
"Liu Jinshu, our prince is affectionate."
Liu Jinshu wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, followed a few guards, got on a carriage, and went straight to Prince Ming's mansion.
In the side room, Prince Ming stared at Liu Jinshu, who had already washed up, with his sharp eyes.
"You said that the child you were carrying was my child?"
Liu Jinshu nodded: "Your Highness Prince Ming, have you forgotten the night we made love?"
Prince Ming's eyes darkened, as if he thought of the way Liu Jinshu volunteered to sacrifice herself, how coquettish she was.
At the beginning, Liu Jinshu was abandoned by Yun Yi because of the incident at the Huainan Palace.
In order to take revenge on Yun Yi, she resolutely climbed into Prince Ming's bed.
Liu Jinshu was just a girl in her teens, and Prince Ming naturally did not refuse someone who took the initiative to show his affection.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jinshu became pregnant with his own child, but the child was aborted by the current emperor.
"It's just a child. If it's gone, it's gone."
"It's not like this king has no offspring."
Liu Jinshu snorted coldly: "Your Highness Prince Ming, what if I say that His Majesty asked Nanny to feed me the abortion pill because he knew I was pregnant with your child?"
"He just wants you to be childless."
After Liu Jinshu finished speaking, Prince Ming's hands tightened and his eyes turned cold.
In the fight for the throne, he and the current emperor were sworn enemies.
His biological mother was later dismissed by the retired emperor.
He was obviously of royal blood, but because Emperor Showa was born from the Empress Dowager's womb, he got the Great Yan Kingdom.
Prince Ming naturally refused to accept this.
However, he managed to calm down.
"Stop sowing discord between the king and His Majesty."
"You said in your letter that you knew a secret. What is it? Why don't you tell me?"
Liu Jinshu raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "The secret is the formula of gunpowder."
"I have the formula for gunpowder."
After Liu Jinshu finished speaking, Prince Ming stood up from his chair in disbelief.
"What did you say? You have the formula for gunpowder? You know the formula for gunpowder."
Liu Jinshu said confidently: "Of course I know."
"Before my second brother Su Yanqiu died, he had been working for the King of Qi, using the gunpowder formula I offered him to make gunpowder for him."
"But now that my second brother is gone, this matter has been delayed."
"If my guess is correct, the King of Qi is still secretly manufacturing gunpowder on the outskirts of the city."
Prince Ming laughed heartily.
He sat back in the chair, his eyes fell on Liu Jinshu, and he patted his right leg.
"Come, sit on my lap, and from now on I will give you a way out."
Liu Jinshu was a little hesitant.
"Your Highness Prince Ming, are you really willing to give Liu Jinshu a chance to live?"
Prince Ming: "Of course I am willing, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to get you out of the palace."
"Come here, sit on my lap and serve me like you did before."
Liu Jinshu was delighted and slowly walked to Prince Ming and sat directly on his lap.
"Your Highness Prince Ming, please treat Jinshu well and give her a chance to live. Do not let her be captured by Prince Qi."
"The Jinshu Society prays every day that the prince will one day be able to sit in that position."
Prince Ming grinned and reached out to pinch her chin.
"You still know how to say nice things."
"Today, the king will pay you a visit. Tomorrow, you will write down the formula for the gunpowder."
Prince Ming said this as he carried Liu Jinshu into the side room.
The man exuded an old Chen smell that made Liu Jinshu feel sick.
But Liu Jinshu still endured the nausea and had sex with him.
Compared to being in the cold palace, a mass grave, being hunted down, and dying at the hands of those people, enduring an old man is nothing.
The next day.
Liu Jinshu supported her aching body and got up from the bed, and a nanny brought her hot water for washing.
A maid also brought paper and pen.
After Liu Jinshu finished washing up, he picked up a pen and wrote down the formula for gunpowder on a piece of white paper.
She murmured softly: "Yun Yi, it's not that I'm sorry for you."
"It's really because I, Liu Jinshu, need to stay alive and gain a foothold in Yanjing."
"When Prince Ming ascends the throne, I will at least be a favored concubine."
After writing down the gunpowder formula, the nanny gave it to Prince Ming.
Mingqin's eyes lit up when he got the gunpowder formula.
"She really does know the formula for gunpowder."
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" asked the guard.
Prince Ming sneered and said, "Have someone take the gunpowder formula to Master Baishui for identification. If the formula is genuine, I will naturally find a way to make gunpowder."
"As for Liu Jinshu..."
Prince Mingqin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "When I get tired of playing with her, send her to Prince Qi's mansion."
"She is the concubine of the King of Qi. If the King of Qi knew that she was still alive, he would know that my brother had deceived him."
"Let them fight each other, and I will reap the benefits."
"Hahaha."
In the Imperial Study, after the morning court session, Huo Xingzhi went to see Emperor Showa.
As soon as I entered the imperial study, I saw Emperor Showa looking at me with a smile on his face.
"You have performed great service at the frontier. I have decided to host a welcoming banquet for you tonight."
"Did you gain anything from your trip to Qin this time?"
Huo Xingzhi nodded: "This matter is private. Please ask your attendants to leave."
Emperor Showa glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs around him.
"Everyone, go down."
After the palace maids and eunuchs left, Wang Dequan left the imperial study and stood guard at the door.
Huo Xingzhi presented the letter he had investigated from the Qin State to Emperor Zhaohe.
"This is all information about Duke Gao, Princess Yanning, and the identities of Consort Gao."
"Some are letters sent by Duke Gao and the Qin royal family."
"However, the handwriting in the letter doesn't look like it was written by Duke Gao. It seems more like someone else wrote it."
"If we want to punish him, we're afraid he won't admit it."
"Also, there is a Qin person in my father's harem."
