After walking out of the room, many eunuchs and palace maids saw Lu Qian, and they all smiled respectfully and nodded in greeting.

After spending time together, Lu Qian actually liked the atmosphere here.

The eunuchs and maids here are different from those outside.

Their innocence and kindness are a bit pretentious.

But through observation over the past few days, they are not pretending.

Looking at these eunuchs and maids, Lu Qian regretted it again

He walked to the corner and took off the seal.

Pour the white porridge mixed with poison.

Lu Qian is not a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person.

Even this one won't be poisonous right away. However, it will happen anyway!

Once the head of the Ancestral Temple is found, everyone here will have to be buried with her.

He couldn't risk so many lives.

He took the remaining breakfast and went to Xia Nihuang's residence in the middle hall.

Knocked on the door.

When Yinyue opened the door, she still had the same ice face and glanced at the food box in Lu Qian's hand.

"Why isn't there a seal on the food box?"

"I personally made this for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and escorted her throughout the process. That's why there is no seal."

Seeing what Lu Qian said, Yinyue let Lu Qian into the house without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xia Nihuang changing clothes in the back room. Although there was a gauze curtain separating her, she could still see clearly.

I saw that she was wearing a flesh-colored sexy dress, and the pride in front of her body was clearly visible, especially those legs that were really amazing!

A eunuch was waiting to change clothes.

"Don't you want your eyeballs anymore?"

Yinyue's cold voice made Lu Qian shiver subconsciously.

He quickly looked away and put breakfast on the dining table.

Upon seeing this, Yinyue took a silver needle and tested the poison one by one.

He took some of each dish and let Lu Qian eat it before letting Lu Qian leave.

When Lu Qian saw that he could leave, he didn't wait a second longer for fear of being stopped by the female devil.

I thought I'd better go and deal with the place where the porridge was poured just now.

However, as soon as I walked over, I saw that the porridge was gone.

And beside them were the bodies of two violently dead cats...

Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat.

It’s a shame that you have to stop!

It was obvious that the former concubine had deceived him.

This poison is obviously different from what he took...

Or maybe the bottle he took was not poison at all.

If he really took action, Xia Nihuang would die suddenly on the spot.

And he will definitely be arrested. Even if he says it was forced by Xi Concubine, no one will believe him. After all, he has no evidence, and even Xi Concubine poisoning him might be a lie.

After figuring out the crux of it, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

She is really a poisonous woman.

In order to confirm his idea, Lu Qian hurried out.

I found Zhang Bao and asked him to help find a reliable doctor to check his body.

Lu Qian was under the careful examination of the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor only said that Lu Qian had no other problems except for some kidney failure.

After saying that, he also prescribed a kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicine to Lu Qian.

"Mr. Zhang, you are not mistaken. How can my brother suffer from kidney failure?" Zhang Bao said from the side.

Lu Qian really wanted to use his socks to gag Zhang Bao.

He really doesn't like to pick up any of the pots.

Doctor Zhang understood with a smile and said, "Kidney failure is not all caused by sex, overwork can also cause kidney failure."

Zhang Bao showed an expression of sudden realization.

Lu Qian also took a long breath and asked, "Is it possible to be chronically poisoned?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head firmly and said, "No."

Lu Qian felt relieved now

leave.

When he returned to the Ancestral Temple, he talked about opening a hotpot restaurant and asked Zhang Bao, "Brother Zhang, how are you? Are you interested in joining?"

Zhang Bao smiled awkwardly and said, "Eunuch Lu, let me forget it... How can my little money get your attention?"

"Brother Zhang, if you like it, I will give you 10% from my shares!"

Seeing that Zhang Bao wanted to refuse, Lu Qian continued to say to Zhang Bao, "Brother Zhang, I'm not giving you this share to win you over. It's just because I've investigated you, and I completely respect you as a person."

Zhang Bao is also a strange person. He joined the army at the age of thirteen.

With his skill, he also earned a reputation in the army.

At the age of sixteen, he reached the position of head of a thousand households.

Later, he was favored by General Huo's family and invited him to join the Huo family army.

He also made great military exploits. At the age of eighteen, he was appointed as the captain of the guard, commanding ten thousand people.

He became the youngest civilian guard chief in Daxia.

However, later, because he couldn't stand some generals in the Huo family's army bullying the people in the area.

There were several minor conflicts with him. In one conflict with a Huo family army guard chief, he accidentally beat the guard chief to death.

This matter caused a big fuss. General Huo spared his life because of his talent, and drove him out of the Huo family army.

After the emperor heard about his affairs, he asked him to come to the palace to command the imperial army.

After Zhang Bao took command of the Forbidden Army, no matter who tried to win over him, he sternly rejected them!

It also offended many people because of this.

However, no matter who impeached Zhang Bao, they were blocked by Xia Jiuyuan.

This also made Lu Qian feel that Xia Jiuyuan, the dog emperor, still had some brains.

What Lu Qian admired the most was that Zhang Bao had given all his income in recent years to the widows of his brothers who died in the war.

Therefore, although he is the commander of the imperial army, he is now alone, and his residence is just a small earthen house.

Zhang Bao still wanted to refuse, but Lu Qian said, "Just think of it as the brothers I gave you who sacrificed their lives for Daxia!"

Zhang Bao then nodded and said, "Then I'll thank you on their behalf. But as agreed, even if you give me shares, it's a matter of principle. I still won't help you!"

Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I really have something to ask you..."

Zhang Bao looked nervous.

Lu Qian quickly explained that he just wanted him to teach him some self-defense skills.

Zhang Bao then agreed with a smile.

...

The next few days will be Lu Qian's most leisurely time.

Xia Nihuang didn't cause any trouble for her. She went to chant sutras every morning and came back late at night. She was served by the eunuchs and maids she brought with her, so there was no unpleasantness.

Since Xia Nihuang was there, Xia Wenzhi didn't come either.

Liu Shiqing came once to report on the situation and found that the issuance of national bonds went smoothly.

A salt refinery is also under preparation. Lu Qian gave Liu Shiqing the drawings of the corresponding equipment he needed. Of course, they were all disassembly drawings.

In addition, Lu Qian also gave another blueprint and asked Liu Shiqing to hurry up and build it.

Three days later, Liu Shiqing came to Lu Qian with a bag of parts manufactured by the Ministry of Industry.

Lu Qian was actually a little surprised. The efficiency of the Engineering Department was really very fast.

He poured all the parts on the table. The craftsmanship of the craftsmen here was much better than he thought.

Liu Shiqing asked curiously, "Master, what is this?"

Lu Qian smiled and said, "This is a divine weapon!"

After speaking, Liu Shiqing did not hide anything from him and started assembling it in front of him. Not more than ten minutes later, a Sui musket appeared in front of the two of them.
