The Regent's Koi Princess
Chapter 99 How can the little emperor allow you to continue to expand your power?
Jiang Che looked at the chattering girl in front of him, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly inadvertently.
If these words were spoken by another woman, he would definitely think that she was daydreaming.
But she was different. He believed that if she sincerely wanted to do something, it would be a piece of cake.
She seems unruly and unruly, but in fact she is more resourceful and courageous than anyone else.
She is meticulous and strategic. Now Lin Xi has the most unique charm in his heart. No one can match her and no one can replace her.
"If you want to do something, just go ahead and do it. I will never stop you. I just can't figure out why you don't use your status as the Regent Princess?"
Lin Xi picked up the teacup and shook it gently, and a faint tea fragrance diffused in the air.
She looked at him, her eyes gleaming with determination.
"First of all, I will not rely on men to survive. No matter when, I will feel at ease when I am in control of my own life.
Although it is said that husband and wife are one, and we are not husband and wife on the surface, the best way to get along is that you have your things and I have my foundation.
What I want to be is a partner who can fight alongside you, not a little woman who hides behind you and enjoys herself.
That way, if something unexpected happens, we won’t be attacked from all sides and be unable to fight back.
There have always been wars in the court, and no one knows whose position can always be stable.
You already hold great power. If we get married openly now, do you think the young emperor will allow you to continue to expand your power?
What's more, in the current situation, no one knows who is on whose side. Since we know the enemy and we don't, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Secondly, if I hold the title of Princess Regent, it would be very inconvenient for me to do something, and even worse, we would become each other's weaknesses.
If the little emperor uses me to threaten you, how will you decide?
Besides, if I were an ordinary person, it would be easier for me to understand and get in touch with the truest side of the emperor. Otherwise, why would so many emperors like to go on incognito visits?"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, Jiang Che instantly fell into deep thought. He understood that the concerns she mentioned did exist.
It was not that he wanted to hold on to the power forever and not return it to the little emperor. If he wanted to return it, he had to wait until the little emperor calmed down. Otherwise, if he was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, various forces would take the opportunity to join the dispute, and the world would inevitably be engulfed in war. In the end, the only ones who would suffer would be the unarmed people.
At this moment, his little woman made him look at her in a new light.
He had always known that she was a restless person, but he had never expected that she had such great ambitions.
Since she wanted to do something big, let her do it! He just had to be her biggest supporter.
"I can allow you to do whatever you want, but you must promise me that no matter what the circumstances, you must protect yourself well.
If I were to know that you lost even a strand of hair, I would definitely lock you up in my palace and you wouldn't be able to go anywhere. Do you agree?"
Lin Xi narrowed her beautiful cashew eyes slightly, and the stars in her eyes were so bright that people felt intoxicated.
"Okay, I agree!"
She had her own considerations in mind, so she just agreed to it first! As for whether she could do it, that depended on the situation.
What if she was captured and taken to the mountains? Maybe she could become a bandit leader.
"There is one more question. I remember you once asked me who I am and where I am from. I have no intention of telling you the answer to this question for now.
I have long thought that you would definitely be suspicious of my current style and behavior, but I can only tell you that I have no intention of harming you.
When everything is settled and the time is right, I will tell you, but not now."
"Um"
He knew that now that the little girl could open her heart and tell him about her plans, she had already given her body and soul to him.
All he wanted was her heart, nothing else mattered.
As for the future, what if he surrendered his military power? What if he became an idle prince? It was not like he could not support her and the future children.
Seeing him remain silent, she knew that he was thinking about the truthfulness of her words. Anyway, she would definitely not let him depend on her to live.
Even if he has revealed all his cards, it won't work.
It's not that she is selfish, she just has to make sure she doesn't compromise on anything, she has to leave herself a way out.
"One last thing. Let's put the pharmacy issue on hold for now. Just build me a pharmacy in the palace. I need to prepare some self-defense items when I go out. I won't hurt anyone, but I have to protect myself.
Also, I need some stuff to make gunpowder, send someone to get it back as well."
gunpowder?
Jiang Che was stunned when he heard these two words. He couldn't understand what the purpose of her making gunpowder was.
Is she going to blow up the palace?
Jiang Che took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
"Something for making gunpowder? What do you mean?"
Lin Xi knew that once this matter was made public, he would definitely worry that he was not following the right path.
This can't be blamed on him. If it were anyone else, they would have been too scared to sit still.
She chose to say it out loud just to let him know that apart from her identity, she was honest with him. Anyway, they were now tied to the same rope, and neither he nor she could escape.
"One nitre, two yellows, and three charcoal. To put it simply, it is potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal."
Jiang Che suppressed the turmoil in his heart and stared at her silently.
Lin Xi looked at him calmly, without dodging or hiding anything.
This little thing is so bold that he even dares to make gunpowder. If he is used by someone with ulterior motives, ten heads would be enough to chop off.
"Do you know that if this matter is discovered, it will be a serious matter that will implicate all of your clan?"
Lin Xi's beautiful cashew eyes instantly curved into crescents. She looked at him with a smile and said, "If you want to do it, you have to do it big. Otherwise, how can you make a splash?
That’s why I don’t want to get married now, so as not to implicate you. If I am put in jail one day, won’t you be waiting outside to rescue me?
I know what I want to do, don't worry! I won't kill or rob, and I won't commit crimes. I'm just planning for the future."
Perhaps she had sat for too long, Lin Xi stood up and walked slowly in the study room. She only stopped after walking for a while.
Leaning lazily on the bookshelf, she crossed her arms, looked away with a gloomy look in her eyes, and said leisurely: "The safest place is the Regent's Palace, so I asked you to set up a pharmacy for me, which ensures safety and makes it convenient for me to act.
Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it! ”
She raised her eyebrows and continued to tease: "Don't you think so, dear Regent Prince?"
