In the Cining Palace, Luo Qingshuang was tasting the latest cakes developed by the imperial kitchen, and her movements were full of charm.
When she saw Zhao An coming, she had no good temper and asked, "Why are you looking for the Ai family again?"
Zhao An gave Que'er a look, and she nodded and dismissed all the eunuchs.
After everyone left, Zhao An rushed towards her and hugged her legs and began to cry: "Queen Mother, help me, this slave is going to die."
"Aren't you bold? You even dare to hit the newly appointed manager of the Ai family. Who else in this world dares to kill you?"
Luo Qingshuang's charming eyes were filled with deep disdain.
Zhao An chuckled and said, "Queen Mother, you understand me. All my slaves rely on your favor, and they can only pretend to be powerful."
"You are somewhat self-aware. Tell me, what is it?"
Luo Qingshuang took a bite of the pastry gracefully.
Zhao An flatteringly handed over the tea and explained the general situation angrily.
She knew that Chang Ming was hiding in Ningkun Palace, but she just turned a blind eye. Now that she heard about it, she frowned slightly.
"Wouldn't it be solved by castrating him?"
"You put it lightly, but you are not a real eunuch."
"Why did the Ai family help you?"
"Because I am your most beloved slave."
Zhao An was shameless today, he had to hold on to this thigh no matter what.
Luo Qingshuang was delighted, "Who told you that you are the most beloved slave of the Ai family? The Ai family wants to chop you into pieces and cook you in a cage."
"You are reluctant to part with it."
"It's not impossible to help you. At least I have to give you some chips."
Luo Qingshuang's attitude was clear.
She can handle the coming chaos in the palace, but she won't do it casually.
"My servant has recently researched something interesting, and the Queen Mother may be interested in it."
Zhao An rolled his eyes and took out a formula from his sleeve.
Luo Qingshuang took it and took a look, then narrowed her eyes.
Above are the plans for transforming the furnace, refining forged steel, and forging a waterwheel.
If an ordinary woman got this thing, she would definitely not be interested, but Luo Qingshuang's heart was beating hard.
She knew that this dog slave was full of weird ideas, but now that he came up with the method of making hundred-forged steel, she was still shocked.
The weapons of the dynasty were made of wrought iron, and steel weapons were very expensive and could not be made overnight.
If the replacement of weapons and armor is completed, the combat effectiveness of the army will rise to a huge level.
To put it bluntly, even the armed guards can kill the rebels in the inner and outer cities.
Luo Qingshuang collected the drawings and took a deep breath to calm down, "Why do you want to give these things to the Ai family? Isn't it good to give them to the emperor?"
"What's the use of giving it to her? She's already been emptied out. If the drawings get out and fall into the hands of Duke Chen, it's not the end of the world!"
Zhao An spoke seriously about the pros and cons.
Luo Qingshuang smiled, holding Zhao An's head with her snow-white jade fingers and caressing, "How good. This time, the Ai family will help you solve the problem, but the Ai family does not want these drawings to be spread to others."
"I thank the Queen Mother for her kindness."
Zhao An lay on the ground to thank him. In the shadows, Qingjun's face twitched slightly.
Old witch!
If you touch my head, you treat me like a dog, right?
Let me give you a try first.
I presented the drawings today just to prove my suspicions, and now I can find the answer from Luo Qingshuang's expression.
Her Luo family's military strength is indeed quite large!
Once you obtain the hundred-forged steel, you can compete with Chen Guogong's military power.
Therefore, the Luo family will probably no longer rest in hibernation. It would be more interesting if they entered the capital.
Taking history as a guide, the decline of a dynasty is nothing more than the increase in power of the prime minister, the interference of eunuchs in politics, and the usurpation of the country by relatives...
Gather all unstable factors in the court.
What does Chen Guogong think?
Is she, Luo Qingshuang, planning to change the dynasty and make the Luo family secure?
"Slave, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Qingshuang suddenly spoke, Zhao An raised his head, instantly switched to a flattering face, and squeezed out false tears, "Your Majesty, I am so touched. You are so kind to me. You are like a reborn parent."
"The Ai family is issuing an edict. If Chen Guogong really dares to come to investigate the palace, just stop him."
Luo Qingshuang lifted up her sleeves and wrote the decree on the spot.
Zhao An said calmly: "What if Chen Guogong ignores it?"
"He dares."
Luo Qingshuang's expression was cold and arrogant, not angry but proud.
Zhao An touched his nose, carefully put the edict away and stuffed it into his arms, thanked En and left.
The moment I walked out of Cining Palace, my heart felt heavy.
The old witch is really hiding deep. She probably wants Chen Guogong to deal with her.
If Chen Guogong disobeys Yi's orders and insists on checking the harem, he will undoubtedly have a direct conflict with her, and the Luo family will become famous.
What a calculation.
Damn it, each of them is a thousand-year-old fox.
Is the throne really that fragrant?
As the orphan of the late emperor, Luo Qingshuang should have been facing the emperor, but the signs she showed at this moment were completely turning her elbows outward.
why?
Zhao An stood under the big tree and paced back and forth, and Queer didn't even notice when he came.
She tilted her head and asked, "With the Queen Mother helping you make the decision, can't it be settled?"
Zhao An hesitated for a moment, then pulled her to a corner and said seriously: "Can I ask a question that Chu Liuyun has always wanted to ask?"
"you say."
"You also know what happened when Chu Liuyun drunkenly broke into the harem..."
When these words came out, Que'er's pretty face changed drastically, "I don't know, don't talk nonsense."
"Tell me, who was the person who had sex with the Queen Mother back then?"
"Shh-"
Que'er rushed up to cover her mouth, her eyes widened, "You really don't want to live anymore. I haven't lived enough yet? Don't hurt me..."
There are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said.
When you live in the harem, you should be careful in your words and deeds.
Zhao An grabbed her waist and held her in his arms, looking down at her soft face.
"Girl, is the Queen Mother planning for you to use a trick to get close to me? To make you my woman, and then get the truest thoughts from me?"
"No, no!"
If Que'er's confusion just now was an instinctive reaction, then she was really panicked at this moment, her eyes almost popped out, and her mouth subconsciously grew.
"I'm smarter than you think. Queer, I like you very much. The Queen Mother has completely overthought it. I am loyal to her."
"It's useless for you to tell me..."
Que'er avoided eye contact, and Zhao An forcefully held her pink chin, forcing her to look at her.
When their eyes met, he opened his mouth. After all, some words were not uttered. Instead, he teased: "Come to me tonight, and I will take you down directly. You don't need to use any tricks. I feel sorry for you."
"Let go, I don't know what you are talking about?"
Que'er pushed and struggled.
The more this happens, the tighter Zhao An hugs him, "If you don't come, I won't take you in. Besides, I know what you are thinking, what do you think I will do to you?"
"What do you mean?" Que'er was a little panicked, completely forgetting that he was a ninth-level master.
