The queen poured a glass of wine for Yin Tao and asked with a smile: "Sister, I want to ask you something confidential. Can you tell me the truth?"
The latter looked wary when he heard this, and replied cautiously: "Sister, you might as well ask first, and then I will decide whether to answer."
"That's fine! According to the news I got, the steam engines produced in Qiongzhou are all provided by you behind the scenes with technical support. I don't know if this is true."
"Haha, my sister's ears and eyes are really sharp. She even found out such secrets."
It can be heard that Yin Tao chose the acquiescence attitude.
The other party has now figured out the relevant context, and it is impossible to hide it.
In this case, it is better to admit it frankly.
The queen nodded and smiled, praising: "I really didn't expect that my sister has such abilities!"
Yin Tao said modestly: "These are all taught to me by my husband, and they are not my personal merit."
"What's his is yours, isn't it?"
"Sister is so complimentary..."
After a few polite words, Yin Tao suddenly corrected himself and said: "Why did my sister suddenly ask about the steam engine? Could it be that you are deeply interested in this thing?"
The Queen explained: "It's not because of interest, but because I have something to ask for. Recently, the Ministry of Industry has been working very hard to imitate the power ship designed by Hongyu. The ordinary parts are all fine, but The steam engine alone has been defeated repeatedly. Therefore, I would like to ask my sister to lend a helping hand."
After a pause, she said sincerely: "If this kind of warship can be successfully developed, Hongyu will have made a great contribution, which is very important for his future succession. There is no other way but to ask his sister for help. "
oh, I get it.
No wonder the Queen emphasized just now that if she helps each other, the establishment of the crown prince will be successful; if she just watches, things will be hopeless.
Among them, the most critical one is the heat treatment technology of steam engines.
If this were normal, Yin Tao would most likely promote her husband's righteousness and donate all the skills in her hands to the court for free.
Now, it doesn't work.
Yin Tao knew very well that although Qi Xiao was called a companion, he was actually a proton.
Although the emperor has been tolerant to a certain extent, he still cannot take it lightly.
If there is the most incompatible person in this world,
Those who believe, then this person must be the king of the temple.
Emperors have always used unscrupulous means to achieve their goals. From the flesh and blood of fathers and brothers to the concubines and ministers, they kill at will without any hesitation.
A half-assed consort like Qi Xiao, who is outside the establishment, might not even be able to get a rank!
In this case, core technology becomes somewhat important. Even if it cannot be used as a talisman, it can still be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations.
What should we do if we give it away easily and the court turns against it later?
This is not uncommon in the court, so it is better to be a villain first and then a gentleman.
Thinking of this, Yin Taoxiao said: "Sister, you are asking me for your son, but why don't I think so? For Qi Xiao's safety, I must keep this secret, while he is still here I will never reveal this secret to the public until I have safely left the capital."
The queen was shocked when she heard this and persuaded her: "With me sitting in the palace, can't I protect the safety of your mother and son? My sister's worries are really overblown."
Yin Tao did not agree, and said calmly: "If it is really as my sister said, will we two stay in the capital and not be able to return south?"
There is something in this.
After thinking about it carefully, the queen couldn't help but blush.
Objectively speaking, on the issue of retaining protons, he not only did not stop it verbally, but also secretly contributed to it. Judging from Yin Tao's appearance, she seemed to have noticed something fishy.
She sees through it without saying anything!
No wonder, I feel that the affection between each other has dropped sharply than before. It turns out that it is due to suspicion.
However, the two did not launch any relevant defense as to what was right and wrong.
Each other's purpose is for their own sons, and it's impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. That being the case, why bother arguing about right and wrong?
After perfunctory for a while, Yin Tao said she was too drunk and left.
The queen looked at her back and said coldly: "If I don't get this secret, you will never leave the capital!"
After releasing her clenched silver teeth, she murmured to herself: "It seems it's time to think of something special..."
After half an hour.
Suddenly a fast horse ran out of the capital and rode southward.
According to the eunuch San Dezi, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly stopped Master Yin Jun's service and asked him to come to Beijing immediately, restore his official position, and serve the country with all his filial piety.
As for why the emperor suddenly thought of Master Yin who was far away in Yongchuan Mansion, the Third Eunuch did not explain clearly. He just looked at the harem with a hint of something.
When Wu Wanrong saw this, he quickly understood its meaning: This...could it be an allusion to Si Chen?
However, he was just thinking about it in his mind, how could he dare to say it openly?
In addition to Lao Wu, Liang Yingzhong, the chief minister of the cabinet, is also paying attention to this matter.
However, at this time, he was very busy and all his energy was focused on appeasing his son. He was still a little too busy to take care of other things at the moment.
Liang Yanei?
What's up with him?
According to the imperial doctor who came to diagnose him, Liang Kesheng suddenly suffered from a stubborn heart disease similar to hypothetical syndrome. Not only did he have trouble sleeping, but he even felt mentally in a trance.
Is he sick?
Yes, but also no.
The outline of the matter is roughly this.
After Qi Xiao left the banquet, he immediately entertained another person.
That person was none other than the internal guard who was inadvertently taken care of by Qi Xiaotong on February 2 that year. At this time, he had retired from work and lived a normal life.
Liang Kesheng learned through San Dezi, whom he bribed, that this guard had fought against Qi Yu's daughter in the field of force, and he had a lot of experience with her skills.
So, he was moved here.
The purpose, of course, is to verify the true situation.
"What? You said...she is really the rumored Jade Faced Rakshasa?"
"It's absolutely true! The reason why Your Majesty didn't say anything clearly is probably because he wanted to save some favor for Mr. Qi."
"Then, what are her abilities?"
"Amazing! Very powerful! She can unleash the majestic dragon-elephant power with just a single palm. Its terrifying degree is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!"
What?
She is so fierce?
Liang Kesheng was horrified when he heard this. His buttocks softened and he collapsed directly on the ground.
His eyes were filled with a desperate expression of hopelessness.
It can be seen that he is really scared now.
