Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

Bei Jingchu asked Haoyue to bring the freshly heated food and took them to the side hall to find Zhou Huanjiu.

When we got there, the door was indeed closed.

The lunch box that was placed at the door in the morning has not been taken in yet.

[How could this not make the mother worried? It was as if something unexpected had happened.]

She asked Changyan to open the door.

Changyan pushed it but it wouldn't open.

It must have been locked from the inside.

Bei Jingchu went forward and banged on the door, yelling, "Zhou Huanjiu, open the door!"

"If you have the ability not to eat, you have the ability to open the door!"

Still no one responded.

[Isn’t it possible that something really happened?]

Bei Jingchu was worried and asked Haoyue to ask someone to break down the door.

After a while, several eunuchs brought an axe and, under Bei Jingchu's instructions, chopped directly at the door.

At this moment, the wooden door trembled slightly and was pulled open.

Zhou Huanjiu opened the door, and the axe chopped straight towards his head.

【It’s over! 】

Before anyone else could react, Bei Jingchu jumped up, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her two little paws, and held up the eunuch's hand.

The axe stopped just an inch away from Zhou Huanjiu.

Zhou Huanjiu was so frightened that he stood there stiffly, trembling as he asked, "Chu, Chu, Chuchu."

"When did I offend you?"

Bei Jingchu's eyes wandered around.

[Oops, this is so embarrassing.]

[No, I want to turn the tables! ]

After adjusting her attitude, she asked confidently, "Why haven't you come out yet? How long have we been knocking on the door?"

"Wait until the door is split open before you open it."

"And you even sent away the female guard that His Majesty assigned to you."

"Jiujiu, this is where you're wrong."

Zhou Huanjiu:......

Although she heard the child's inner voice, she looked at the sky outside and it seemed that she was indeed wrong.

She picked at her fingers that were dirty from the materials used to make them, and said in a low voice, "I didn't pay attention."

"When I was studying that thing, I felt like I couldn't hear the sounds outside."

[Is this a common problem among mad scientists? ]

[This won’t work.]

Bei Jingchu asked the eunuchs to disperse, pulled Zhou Huanjiu into the house, and pushed her onto the dressing table.

Why the dressing table? Because the other table was already cluttered with all the things she was tinkering with, leaving no empty space at all.

There was even a lot of food piled on the dressing table, leaving only a tiny space on the table to put the food.

Bei Jingchu was a little disgusted: "Your room is as messy as a doghouse. There is no place to step."

Zhou Huanjiu:?

Why does this sentence, coming out of Chuchu's mouth, sound a bit discordant?

Haoyue tactfully carried the food box in and put it on the wine cloth for Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan finished his wine in two gulps and threw himself into his own experiment.

She never stopped for a moment, and it was obvious that she worked really hard for the cakes she drew.

After making sure that the person was not dead and had eaten well, Bei Jingchu felt relieved. He went out, closed the door, and did not disturb her anymore.

After walking only a short distance, a loud noise was heard behind me.

Several children subconsciously covered their ears.

Haoyue only covered her own hands at the beginning, and the next moment, her two little hands covered the back of Bei Jingchu's hands that were covering her ears.

And at that moment, Bei Jingchu realized something.

She couldn't contain her surprise, and when she looked back, she saw thick smoke and flames coming out of Zhou Huanjiu's bedroom.

【Oh my god! 】

[Is it so explosive the first time I made it? 】

【Where's the wine? 】

Where's my wine?

[She is not dead! ]

[Help! Someone is dying! ]

Thousands of thoughts were finally condensed into one sentence: "Help! There's a fire!!!"

A young eunuch hurried into the imperial study and whispered in Eunuch Jiang's ear.

Jiang Zhixian was so shocked after hearing this that his legs went weak and he knelt down.

Seeing this, the emperor stopped writing and had a bad premonition.

All I could hear was Jiang Zhixian standing there trembling and saying, "Something bad has happened, Your Majesty!"

"There's a fire in Renshou Hall!"

Bei Heng was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, not caring that the brush rolled down and smudged the words on the memorial.

He felt dizzy and almost lost his balance.

"Are the Queen Mother and the eldest princess okay?"

A'niang just sent Chu'er to Renshou Hall. There were so many old and young people gathered together that they could be wiped out in one go.

Oh, by the way, there is also Zhou Huanjiu, whom he is paying attention to now.

"And what about Madam Zhou?"

Jiang Zhixian looked at the young eunuch who had just come in to report, and the young eunuch knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I came to report when I saw thick smoke rising from the Renshou Palace from afar, but I did not inquire about the situation of the masters."

The emperor could no longer sit still.

He rushed to Renshou Hall at almost the fastest speed in his life.

Fortunately, all three were fine when we arrived.

But Zhou Huanjiu was not seen. She was taken away to treat her injuries.

"Aye, you don't know how dangerous this is!"

"Jiujiu was knocked unconscious by the explosion and had to be carried out!"

"There are several burns on the body!"

"Aye, Jiujiu is seriously injured this time. It will take a hundred days for the broken bones to heal."

"She was bombed, so it will take at least two or three hundred days."

"Why not just give Jiujiu a year off?"

Bei Jingchu felt that she was a good princess who always did what she said.

[If you say you want to give your friends who have made contributions a year off, then you can get a year off. 】

【This is the real New Year holiday. 】

[How can you call it annual leave if you don’t get to take a whole year’s vacation! ]

emperor:......

What did you promise Zhou Huanjiu behind my back?

Take a year off?

I dare not even think about such a good thing.

But he was just envious for a moment and then agreed to the request.

Bei Jingchu was jumping for joy, but the Queen Mother poured a bucket of cold water on her as she was jumping for joy: "It's Jiu'er who's taking a year off, not you. You can only go to school every day and watch her play. Why are you so happy, little thing?"

Bei Jingchu calmed down.

[Yeah, what am I happy about? ]

Bei Jingchu calmed down and hugged herself sadly.

The Queen Mother was laughing again.

Looking at the looks of the Queen Mother and Bei Jingchu, one could tell that although Zhou Huanjiu was injured, it certainly wasn't serious.

Bei Heng felt relieved as long as his talents were safe.

Otherwise who will work for him?

Even children cannot be spared.

Back in the imperial study, Bei Jingchu introduced gunpowder to the emperor in a mysterious manner.

Bei Heng, who had known about this for a long time, put on a very surprised expression in order not to discourage the child's enthusiasm.

But Bei Jingchu saw through it at the first sight.

[Eh~ Aye’s acting is so exaggerated~]

Behen: ...

Then, for some reason, the little bastard started praising him.

[As expected of an emperor who has been in office for many years, he remains calm even when faced with a huge disaster.]

[Knowing the importance of gunpowder, he can still remain calm. My Aye is so cool! 】

This time, he finally didn't scold him, but actually praised him.

Bei Heng was so pleased that he even felt like crying.

As the envoys were about to return, a farewell banquet was held in Liangyi Hall.

Bei Jingchu liked this kind of occasion the most because when Aye called her over, she could take a leave and not go to Hongwenguan.

Which child can refuse the joy of not going to school? As long as you don’t go to school, you will be happy doing anything.

The envoy raised his glass to toast, and then asked: "It is time for His Majesty of the Yue Dynasty to give us a response to our request, right?"

Although the envoys said this, they were all confident.
