Shen Dingzhu knew that Feng Jing was not joking, and there was no hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
She panicked for a moment, then quickly stabilized herself. In her chaotic mind, she decided to take the risk.
"Are you really going to kill me?"
This rhetorical question made Feng Jing feel a little interesting. He raised his black feather-like eyebrows: "I really can't bear to kill you. Who made you such a beautiful woman unique in the world?"
"No wonder Xiao Langyan has always been obsessed with you. The majestic king of this country is simply obsessed with you. I used to find it incredible, but when I saw you today, I realized that you are more beautiful than you look in the portrait."
Shen Dingzhu figured out his purpose and gradually calmed down.
"Whether the emperor believes it or not, I stay with the regent for a purpose."
"Oh? What purpose can you, a weak woman, have against a cunning fox like him?"
"I want to get back the secret recipe of gunpowder that they stole in Jin State. I don't think you know about this, Your Majesty, right?"
Feng Jing frowned instantly, and the teasing look in his eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"The secret recipe for gunpowder?"
"My husband's imperial army rebelled. When he was in Jizhou, they tried to get him injured. At that time, the regent was already making plans. He made false claims and used my husband's desire to treat his leg to create chaos. In fact, he had already arranged for him to do so. He worked carefully and took advantage of the chaos to steal the secret recipe of gunpowder."
Shen Dingzhu did not lie, she said firmly: "That thing is in the hands of the regent. Looking at the world, only Jin has gunpowder weapons, but the regent has not given you such a precious secret recipe. Needless to say, the emperor also wants to You have to understand why.”
Feng Jing's eyes turned cold and he fell into silence.
Shen Dingzhu was brought to Changliu Country just to escape, so she pretended to have amnesia. After all, Lei Hong also knew about her previous amnesia.
She used this incident to relax Lei Hong and the others' vigilance towards her, but they were still closely guarding her. However, in front of Shen Dingzhu, they were no longer careful to avoid talking about things related to Xiao Langyan.
It is a fact that they stole the secret recipe of gunpowder. When they were in Chengzhou, they stole two gunpowders just to pour out the materials in the gunpowder and test it according to the formula they got.
Once this secret recipe fell into the hands of the enemy, it would only be a disaster for the Jin State, so Shen Dingzhu decided that she would wait for an opportunity to destroy the secret recipe.
As soon as Lei Hong arrived in Changliu Kingdom, he went directly to the regent's study. It is not known what the two secretly discussed, but Shen Dingzhu was convinced that the regent must have obtained the secret recipe of gunpowder.
And it must be carefully placed.
"Even if they get the secret recipe, they can't do anything about it for the time being, because the materials that can make gunpowder include saltpeter, which is very important and can only be found in Jin."
Otherwise, they would not go to Chengzhou's arsenal to steal used firearms due to lack of materials.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes flickered: "I only have one worry now. The regent will arrange for my husband to provide weapons and get saltpeter from it. Once he is asked to mix it into gunpowder, the emperor, the first person he will target will definitely be you."
"I found out that the regent has arranged a few confidants, one of whom is known to the outside world as a businessman. He will enter the palace on the first day of next month. He must take the opportunity to arrange the preparation of gunpowder. If you now Kill me, and I won’t be able to successfully stop them then.”
Feng Jing had come to his senses and looked at her: "Just you?"
Shen Dingzhu pursed her red lips: "So now I tell you my plan frankly. Isn't it just that I have one more emperor to help me?"
"You really have a good plan." Feng Jing sneered.
He was about to speak when he saw the regent's butler coming with a fruit plate. Feng Jing immediately put the dagger back in his sleeve. He put his chin on her shoulder, probably because he was afraid that she would escape and also pretended to like him. His arms hugged her waist tightly.
"Sister, what kind of incense do you smell?" He raised his eyes, his phoenix eyes with thick eyelashes, and smiled.
Shen Dingzhu was shocked by the speed of his change of expression. From the corner of her eye, she saw the housekeeper put the fruit plate on the table. She could only smile and put her arms around his neck: "Chen Shuixiang, the emperor likes it. I will let my foster father know later." Send some to you?”
The housekeeper glanced at them calmly and saw that Feng Jing and Shen Dingzhu were almost touching each other. He secretly approved in his heart and then said goodbye and left.
After he left the pavilion, Feng Jing let go of Shen Dingzhu. She thought she could have a good discussion with him, but unexpectedly, the dagger touched her again.
This time, he switched to his left hand and placed it against her soft, white and delicate chest, aiming at the position of her heart.
Shen Dingzhu frowned: "The emperor still decides to kill me?"
"What you said just now is really good, but I might as well tell you the truth. This old guy Wei Mao'an arranged for you to serve me in order to arouse Xiao Langyan's anger."
"It's not that I'm out of ideas and want to steal someone else's woman. Besides, she's Xiao Langyan's man. Wei Mao'an can't fight on his own, so he wants to force Xiao Langyan to fight against me."
"So, you must die. Once you die, I will tell Xiao Langyan that you were humiliated at the hands of Wei Mao'an and committed suicide with hatred. He will definitely kill Wei Mao'an for you."
"As for the secret recipe for gunpowder you mentioned, if Wei Maoan dies, I can handle the rest by myself."
After Feng Jing said that, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Gunpowder is what every king wants, but he is not that stupid. With Chang Liu's current strength, he can only ask for trouble if he goes up against the powerful Jin.
Shen Dingzhu realized that for Feng Jing, the gunpowder matter needed to be considered in the long term, but the most pressing issue he needed to solve now was the regent.
How can anyone be allowed to snore next to the emperor's couch?
Therefore, the regent wanted to use Xiao Langyan's hand to drag Feng Jing off the throne. However, Feng Jing rebelled against him. Both of them wanted to use Shen Dingzhu to provoke Xiao Langyan to take action.
The fragrant sweat on her back slid down and fell on the small opening that had just been cut on her slim waist. It was like being sprinkled with salt, and it hurt slightly.
Shen Dingzhu was originally squeamish, but now she couldn't help but blushing: "In this case, if the emperor wants to take action, then do it. I have already explained what I need to say, and there is nothing more to say."
Her posture is weak, and she looks helpless and resigned to her fate. The beauty is shedding tears, like a hibiscus weeping dew, which is really eye-catching.
Feng Jing is a very cautious person, but he was also attracted by her tears. He did not notice at all that the thin needle pinned to Shen Dingzhu's sleeve was pinched by his slender fingertips and aimed silently. The back of his neck.
At this moment, Feng Jing's forward dagger slightly pressed against a hard object behind his bra.
He frowned, stretched out his hand, took out the necklace Shen Dingzhu hung around his neck, and took a look.
It is a very ordinary black rope chain with a white wolf tooth hanging on it.
Feng Jing was suddenly stunned: "How come you have this necklace? Who gave it to you? Who gave it to you!"
Shen Dingzhu put the needle away, took the necklace back, and stuffed it into her clothes again.
"Jing Yi." She lowered her long eyelashes and looked a little sad.
When Lei Hong came to catch her, the sword was dripping with blood. Jing Yi might have encountered something unexpected.
She briefly talked about her encounter with Jing Yi until her eyes were sore.
Shen Dingzhu choked up sincerely this time: "So not only do I want to get back what belongs to our Jin country, I also want Lei Hong and Wei Mao'an to die a good death, life for life."
After saying that, she looked at Feng Jing and felt that his attitude towards Jing Yi was particularly different.
"The emperor also knows Jing Yi?"
Feng Jing stood up suddenly. Shen Dingzhu didn't expect that he would stand up suddenly and almost fell to the ground. She managed to steady herself, her beautiful eyes stirred up, and she looked at him in surprise.
Feng Jing was seen to have put away the dagger and stood with his back to her.
"These have nothing to do with you. Don't ask any more questions. Just answer me one question. Jing Yi went to Jin. Did he find the person he was looking for?"
