"This thing actually exploded like that..."
Li Jue searched the entire Jian'ai Hall from top to bottom, but still couldn't find the remaining half pound of gunpowder.
Therefore, when he received Li Shimin's decree ordering him to return to Ganlu Palace for a meal, he was filled with anxiety, fearing that someone might use gunpowder to do something bad and then blame him for it.
"Big Sun, what's wrong with you today?"
"ah?"
"It's nothing, I just don't have much of an appetite..."
"By the way, Grandpa, why does your face look so dark?"
Is it dark?
"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night..."
"Da Sun, what about your fireworks from yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue sighed and decided to be honest with Li Shimin.
"Grandpa, today my fourth uncle and I mixed a pound of gunpowder for fireworks. We used half a pound for our experiment, and the remaining half a pound was stolen by someone!"
"oh?"
Li Shimin felt a little guilty upon hearing this, and immediately started to cry foul.
"Who is so audacious as to steal from the Prince of Qin's residence?"
Li Jue replied indifferently upon hearing this.
"Stealing isn't the problem; the main issue is that this thing can easily hurt people!"
"Injury?"
"yes!"
"Uncle, you don't know this. This thing is extremely explosive. If you light it in an open area, it will just explode and burn your hair, eyebrows, clothes and such."
"But if you put it in a sealed container and ignite it, it could blow someone up!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt a bit scared. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had lit it on the table. If he had put it in a jar and lit it, Li Zhi would probably have ascended the throne as emperor the next day!
"oh?"
"This thing is really that dangerous?"
"yes!"
"By the way, Grandpa, why do your eyebrows look a bit burnt?"
Li Jue suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this.
"Oh, grandson, I understand now! So you were the thief who stole the things!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately denied it outright.
"No, that's not it. I accidentally got burned by a candle while I was reading..."
"It really isn't you?"
"No, it's not!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue rolled his eyes and unleashed his trump card.
"That was stolen by the puppy!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's dark face turned red with anger. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed Li Jue, placed him on his lap, and began to beat him mercilessly.
"You little brat, how dare you call me a dog!"
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
"I stole it, so what can you do about it!"
