Chapter 6 Discovery of Saltpeter
At this moment, Ji Wujue was writing and processing the memorial in front of the case, when a dark shadow appeared behind Ji Wujue.
Ji Wujue glanced at him and asked, "How's the investigation going?"
"My subordinate followed her to Xuehua Palace and never saw her come out again. But this morning, I checked all the lists in Xuehua Palace and found that this woman was not there at all."
"No?" Ji Wujue's eyes narrowed, and the twinkling starry eyes from last night appeared in front of his eyes. He did not believe that a woman with such peerless beauty would remain unknown in the palace.
"Keep checking!"
"Yes!" The black shadow flashed away.
Ji Wujue thought for a while and called Cao Zhongquan over again.
"Go ahead and tell me that I was bumped into by a maid when I was in Lixia Palace yesterday, and have all the maids in the palace call for questioning one by one!"
He didn't believe that he could not find her even if he dug three feet into the ground.
"Hey!" Cao Zhongquan took the order.
When Lu Yunluo woke up, it was almost noon. She got up and did some exercise. After eating, she began to take care of the fruits and vegetables in the yard.
The grapes transplanted from the space have all matured, and bunches of purple grapes hang like pearls on the green vines. The watermelons are almost all ripe, and there are already seven or eight large watermelons that are ready to eat.
These vegetables and fruits transplanted from space are particularly sweet and refreshing every time you eat them.
"Mother, I didn't expect that although this cold palace is remote, the fruits grown in the soil here are very delicious." Yinshuang held half a watermelon and ate it happily.
She had felt this way before when she ate the vegetables here, but she didn't expect the fruits grown to be so sweet.
Moreover, the food in this palace was really strange, and many of them were foods she had never heard of outside.
Like the watermelon in her hand, I had never heard of this kind of fruit in the seven or eight years I had been with the lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Yunluo watched Yin Shuang finish the melon with a smile on her face, "Are you full?"
"I'm full." Yin Shuang burped loudly.
"When you're full, let's start working."
A pair of white homemade cotton gloves and a straw hat were thrown over, "Mom, where are we going?"
"Go pull weeds!"
When Yinshuang stood on the hillside behind Leng Gong's dormitory, looking at the weeds more than one meter high in front of her, she finally realized what the empress's gentle eyes meant!
How long will it take the two of them to pull out so many weeds?
Lu Yunluo looked at this large area of one-meter-high weeds, feeling extremely resistant in her heart. She accidentally discovered some herbs in a corner of this hillside two days ago. Now that she wants to grow herbs and make elixirs to earn money,
These weeds must be removed, otherwise, there is no way to confirm whether there are other herbs.
This is manual work, and it turns out that two people are really inefficient without any tools.
When the sun went down, the two men only cleared a small area.
When they got up the next day, neither of them could lift their arms.
For several days in a row, the two of them avoided the hot weather in the afternoon, going there in the morning and back at noon, in the afternoon and back in the evening.
It wasn't until the fifth day that the two finally cleared away the weeds in the depths.
During this period, Lu Yunluo did not find a single herb.
When she was thinking about whether to continue cleaning, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a few stones on the ground.
"This is……"
Lu Yunluo frowned, why did this stone look so familiar?
