"But are you thinking about the hidden weapon I gave you today?"
He Jingheng was not embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed: "I just think my wife is very amazing. She can actually develop firearms. Could it be that this is also taught by my mother-in-law?"
Shang Ruoyi knew that He Jingheng never believed what she said before, so she smiled and said, "Sheng Yun, why are you so smart all the time? You ask questions like a gossipy woman in the village."
He Jingheng smiled and shook his head: "My lady is right, it's rare to be confused."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a delicate and small hidden weapon placed on his table.
"This thing, a musket."
Fire gun?
He looked at the musket on the table but didn't pick it up. He remembered that the front end of this thing could spit fire. According to his previous experience with firearms, it would be safer for him not to touch it easily.
"Would you like to try it?"
"Hmm?" He Jingheng whispered, "It's already late at night, and the sound of the musket is so loud, I'm afraid it will scare my grandmother and the others."
"That's easy." If you want no sound, just install a silencer: "That way, there will be no sound."
Firearms, no sound? How is this possible?
"I have traveled around the four countries and have never seen such an exquisite hidden weapon." He Jingheng looked at her and smiled: "I guess my mother-in-law got it by chance when she followed my grandfather on business abroad."
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
She never expected that He Jingheng would find such a good excuse for her.
After all, my mother and grandparents are dead, who can confront her?
"What do you think about today's events, Prince?" Shang Ruoyi said in a slightly depressed tone, "I think the Dingguo Palace is being targeted now, or rather, it has been targeted a long time ago."
"What do you mean?"
"Few people know that your leg injury has recovered. Even your grandmother and mother didn't tell you, but it was secretly reported to the emperor. Don't you think it's strange? There is such a big commotion around the He Mansion today, but no officials came to help. Moreover, there are people who intercepted Yunxue Village on the way and know everything. So this force is extremely powerful and powerful, so there must be spies in our He family."
He Jingheng nodded when he heard this: "I thought so too. I have already sent someone to investigate. It seems that my wife and I are really in sync!"
Shang Ruoyi, who was originally serious, showed a hint of shyness when she heard him say this.
She coughed twice: "I'm tired and want to rest."
After saying this, she left without looking up.
After Shang Ruoyi went back, He Jingheng looked at the musket on the table and was in a daze for a long time.
The next morning, just after daybreak, Shang Ruoyi was awakened by Shaoyao knocking on the door.
"Miss, Miss, wake up quickly, the government is coming."
She was already exhausted from the long journey, and she had just experienced a fierce battle when she got home. The huge physical consumption made her want to sleep for days and nights. If it weren't for the support of the spatial spiritual spring, she would have been exhausted and unconscious.
Now, let alone the officials, even if the emperor was here, it couldn't disturb her sleep.
"Just say I'm not here, let He Jingheng handle it, and I'll go to sleep."
"Miss, the son-in-law is already in the front hall. The official must ask you to come over." Seeing that she didn't respond, Shaoyao had to push the door open and go in. She walked to the bed and saw that her young lady had already fallen asleep.
"Miss, Miss, wake up."
After a while, Shang Ruoyi sat up angrily, her eyes full of murderous intent: "Who is this short-lived ghost who came to my house today?"
"Short-lived ghost?"
"That's right!" Shang Ruoyi said angrily, "How dare he disturb my rest? I'm going to kill him now!"
When Shang Ruoyi arrived at the main hall, Zhang Wenyu was sitting in the hall drinking tea.
He Jingheng sat in the main seat, still sitting in the wheelchair in front of him.
There was an old man in white standing next to Zhang Wenyu. The old man had sharp eyes and a faint medicinal fragrance emanated from his body. Shang Ruoyi smelled it when she walked into the main hall. She raised her eyebrows slightly and moved her eyes away from the old man and fell on Zhang Wenyu.
Her tone was not as gentle as before, and there was a sharp look between her eyebrows: "I don't know why Zhang Da came here?"
Zhang Wenyu was about to speak when Shang Ruoyi continued, "I guess there are not many things going on in Qingzhou recently. Mr. Zhang is really free to come to my house so early." She looked him up and down, "I guess Mr. Zhang is over 70 years old! He doesn't sleep so much. After all, I am young and I usually rest at this time."
When Zhang Wenyu heard this, he smiled awkwardly.
Shang Ruoyi looked at He Jingheng: "Why did you get up so early?" She took the blanket from Yunqi's hand and covered his legs with it: "Even if your legs are numb, they can't be so cold. What if you get sick from the cold?"
Hearing this, He Jingheng just smiled and let her cover his legs without saying anything.
Shang Ruoyi turned her head and looked at Shaoyao: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go to the kitchen and light a fire to cook?"
"Miss, the cooks haven't gotten up yet! Not to mention the cooks, even the guard dogs are..."
Shaoyao's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she looked at Zhang Wenyu, who had a rather grim expression, and swallowed them back.
"Don't talk nonsense." Shang Ruoyi glared at her: "If you say that, where do you put Zhang Da? "
Zhang Wenyu gritted his teeth, knowing that she did it on purpose, but he couldn't afford to provoke her at this time, so no matter how unhappy he was, he had to endure it.
"What are you doing here today, Mr. Zhang?" Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said in a low voice.
When Zhang Wenyu heard her asking, he thought: We are finally getting to the point.
"I have met a doctor with great medical skills. He is very good at treating external injuries. I thought that the prince still has an old leg injury, so I brought him to see the prince."
"Master Zhang, please be careful with your words." Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice, "The Dingguo Palace has been sealed, and there is no prince here. If the news gets out, we will disobey the order and kill all nine clans."
Zhang Wenyu heard her say this and smiled, "It's okay. There are only a few of us here, so we won't spread it out."
"As the saying goes, walls have ears. Doesn't Zhang Da know this?"
She walked to He Jingheng, gathered the blanket on his legs, and said in a reproachful tone: "Look at how old you are, and you can't even cover yourself with a blanket." She took the opportunity to tap He Jingheng's legs twice.
He Jingheng only felt that his leg was pricked by a very fine needle, and the next moment, his right leg felt numb and swollen.
His eyes darkened, and he looked at Shang Ruoyi with a barely perceptible smile in his eyes: "Isn't it because you have been taken care of by your wife for so long that you are used to it?"
Zhang Wenyu watched the two interacting and smacked his lips. Did they forget that he was still there?
Shang Ruoyi stood up and looked at the old man in white: "The miracle doctor that Zhang Da mentioned must be this one."
