Chapter 181 Suitable

She tapped her fingers on the table, her voice was clear and powerful, and she thought about the position of Yushan, "What's the result?"

"I haven't gone into the cave to take a look, but according to my inquiries, there is a lot of gunpowder stored. It wouldn't be a problem to open the city gate a year ago."

Xiao Rongxi suddenly laughed and said, "It's a coincidence that when I returned to the city, I met Hall Master Chu, and he happened to know about the gunpowder buried in Yushan Mountain."

Nan Zhen's finger that was tapping suddenly paused and her eyelids lowered slightly, "Do you doubt him?"

Although she knew that the other party had most likely guessed her identity, she didn't want to admit it so easily.

After all, guessing and admitting it personally are two completely different things.

Unexpectedly, the person opposite shook his head, "I just think Chu Li is very interesting. There will definitely be many opportunities for communication in the future."

After hearing his answer, Nan Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't doubt Chu Li because she trusted Chu Li as a person and knew his behavior style.

But it’s hard to say whether other people from Mingyue Pavilion were involved in King Chen’s secret possession of gunpowder.

Xiao Rongxi was checking, and she was checking too, it was just a matter of who could be faster.

The person opposite lowered his eyes and thought quietly. Xiao Rongxi did not disturb him. He rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips and thought about other things.

Just now he was just talking nonsense, talking about whatever came to mind, but now he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly found his direction.

Since you want to keep someone anyway, why not tie her to yourself first. Once you have a bond, you won't have to worry about her suddenly leaving one day.

After understanding this, Xiao Rongxi not only felt much more relaxed, but also relaxed her expression. A smile appeared on her lips unconsciously, which made Nan Zhen confused.

"What is your Majesty thinking?"

"I'm thinking, if I want to take all the gunpowder for my own use, what would be a better way to do it? Should I directly control the people hiding in Yushan Mountain, or should I quietly transport the gunpowder out first?"

Xiao Rongxi looked at her, "In your opinion, how can we be more secure?"

Nan Zhen looked back subconsciously, looked into his dark and deep eyes, and declined politely, "Your Majesty, there is an old saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Is it appropriate for you to tell me this?"

"It's appropriate."

Xiao Rongxi continued, "The reason why the harem does not interfere in politics is because I am afraid that my relatives will be ambitious and want to gain power from me. But you are different.

You don't have a good relationship with the Qin family, and you are a maverick in the palace. I am very confident about you."

...You just say that I am helpless.

"Your Majesty," Nan Zhen suddenly leaned forward and asked, "will you worship your ancestors during the Chinese New Year?"

Xiao Rongxi didn't know why and nodded.

"Then would they be angry if they knew you made such remarks?"

"..."

Seeing the person in front of her, she was speechless for a moment. Nan Zhen finally frowned, causing the stars in the sky to dim a bit.

The slightly stagnant atmosphere between the two of them disappeared with this smile.

If you think too much, you will always end up in a dead end. Sometimes, just sitting down and drinking a cup of tea can relieve you a lot.

Sometimes, not thinking about it is also a solution.

"Bang--"

The sudden explosion of fireworks lit up the dark courtyard, and orange fireworks scattered like shooting stars.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and the light shone on their faces, bright and clear, giving them an indescribable feeling.

There were still the thin voices of Xiao Guizi and Dongyue in my ears, "Why did you move them all out? I'm going to keep these to play with during the Chinese New Year!"

"Oh, I'll make it up to you then!"

Xiao Guizi said while looking into the house.
