Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Jiang Jiu felt a little numb.

"Could they have approached my mother because the news of these things made by my grandmother had leaked out? If so, why weren't these three cannons taken away?"

Xiao Yimo gave a reasonable explanation.

"Back then, your grandmother was looking for the craftsman who made the cannon. He lived deep in the mountains and was a disciple of the Mohist school. He was very tight-lipped and could not take away anything he made except his own."

The Mohist disciples knew the rules, and they tried their best to satisfy all the strange requests made by the guests. Some of the guests' things were secretive.

Therefore, the rule they passed down was to keep guests' secrets.

"But the craftsman who made the bullets for your grandmother lived downtown. He was a blacksmith himself and had a loose tongue. So, just in case, your grandmother had him build a safe."

This time, Xiao Yimo went to find the old craftsman because he had Jiang Yao's manuscript. The old craftsman recognized the handwriting and drawings, and after repeatedly asking Xiao Yimo's master, who was also surnamed Jiang, he was willing to tell him the whole story.

Xiao Yimo added, "I paid the deposit and asked the old craftsman to make three more cannonballs. The original three have been taken home. You'll see them when you get back. There are just no shells. However, I've already found someone else to make them."

Jiang Jiu was naturally relieved when he saw Xiao Yimo doing things.

"Okay, then send someone you trust to oversee this matter. When I return, I'll go to the palace and find out the whereabouts of the safe."

Since Jiang Yao had already started doing it, Jiang Jiu was thinking in his heart that he was afraid that the Chang family, the Zhou family, and even the Sixth Prince would approach Jiang Qiuyue because of Jiang Yao's shocking artillery.

As the two were talking, Chu Yu and Ni Chang came back.

As expected, Nichang’s actions achieved twice the result with half the effort.

"I've got the poison and the antidote, and I've made fake ones and put them back for them. I'm sure they won't notice anything."

Chu Yu said, "This poison was indeed developed by the poisonous insects in Miaojiang. Its nemesis is the Resurrection Grass, which is also in Miaojiang. There is an antidote three steps away. The Resurrection Grass is next to the poisonous insect's nest. If you find this grass early, you will find this poisonous insect."

"We can do it, but we shouldn't do things like poison if we can avoid it."

Chu Yu is a doctor. Doctors cure diseases and save lives, so they don’t often come into contact with poison.

After getting the poison, Chu Yu and Xiao Yimo went down the mountain.

Not long after, Zhao Zhuoxi also came in from outside with a very ugly face. Nishang and Nanny Qian both came out of the house, leaving only Jiang Jiu in the room.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't say anything and rubbed his face irritably. At this time, everyone in the room, except Jiang Jiu, went out very tactfully.

Zhao Zhuoxi pulled Jiang Jiu's arm and pulled him into his arms.

She buried her head and face in Jiang Jiu's arms and took a deep breath.

"You still smell good."

Jiang Jiu frowned, then suddenly understood something and burst out laughing.

"Who threw herself into your arms? Let me guess? Chang Pingping?"

Zhao Zhuoxi was speechless. He held Jiang Jiu's waist and hugged him tightly, almost suffocating him.

"Have you discovered long ago that she has ill intentions towards me..."

"It hurts." Jiang Jiu pushed him hard. "Don't be so rude. A gentleman loves a beautiful lady, and vice versa. You're a grown man, good-looking, and it's not uncommon for women to like you..."

As he spoke, Jiang Jiu touched Zhao Zhuoxi's face, pinched his chin playfully, pouted, and kissed him from a distance.

Zhao Zhuoxi's mood instantly improved. He put his arms around Jiang Jiu's neck, pulled her down, and gave her a big kiss before he was done.

"How can she be worthy of..."

Jiang Jiu teased, "She's the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, the woman many men in the capital dream of..."

Zhao Zhuoxi chuckled disdainfully: "Power or something, do you think I care about it?"

Indeed, in terms of power, who can compare with him?

The prince and grandson of the emperor.

Jiang Jiu found another excuse: "She's pretty, well-educated, gentle and virtuous. Don't you men like women like this?"

Zhao Zhuoxi was so angry that she pinched Jiang Jiu's waist: "They are men, not including me. I only have you by my side, and that's enough. You give me a headache all day long. If there is one more, it will cost me my life..."

Jiang Jiu is different from the women of this era. Not only is she independent, but she is also very smart and has her own ideas. Zhao Zhuoxi is always worried that Jiang Jiu will run away.

However, unlike other women of this era, Zhao Zhuoxi did not have this worry at all.

Even if he is not favored, he is still the ninth prince and is extremely noble.

Except for Jiang Jiu, no woman cared about his noble bloodline. Any other woman would bow down and kneel down when they saw him.

Except Jiang Jiu.

In front of outsiders, Jiang Jiu might still pretend.

Once there were only two of them, Jiang Jiu wanted to guess on his head.

There is always a catch. Why does Zhao Zhuoxi like this woman who is always on his mind?

The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Zhao Zhuoxi couldn't help but hug Jiang Jiu horizontally, picked him up, and threw him directly onto the couch.

He came forward and started using both hands and feet.

Zhao Zhuoxi likes to rub Jiang Jiu's slender waist. Jiang Jiu is not to be outdone. He likes Zhao Zhuoxi's abdominal muscles and his raised buttocks, which are firm and elastic and feel great.

"Xiaojiu, are you asleep? My sister-in-law made a midnight snack and I brought it to you."

Nanny Qian was standing at the door. When she saw someone coming, she hurried over to greet them.

"It's the second young lady. That's great! Our young lady was just complaining about being hungry and was planning to have someone make something to eat. You came just in time. Thank you, second young lady."

Zhao Zhuoxi was in Jiang Jiu's room, so Nanny Qian didn't let anyone in.

Chang Tingting was a little unwilling, so she called out again at the door: "Xiao Jiu, are you there?"

Jiang Jiu was about to speak when Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly blocked his mouth.

"Ignore her, look at me..."

Jiang Jiu's body stiffened, and his tongue had already flexibly drilled in.

"Woo..." Jiang Jiu was really afraid that someone would suddenly come in and it would be inconvenient for her.

Jiang Jiu was really too worried. Even if Nanny Qian didn't stop him, Lu Ming would have stopped him. Otherwise, he would be punished.

Who would have thought that Zhao Zhuoxi's anger would only grow stronger as he looked at her, her face shimmering with mist, her cheeks flushed, her red lips slightly parted and her breathing lightly.

Meeting his fiery gaze, she pursed her lips, smiled softly, and closed her eyes.

Zhao Zhuoxi became more and more bold and kissed Jiang Jiu behind his ear. Suddenly, Jiang Jiu felt a chill on his wrist.

When she looked up, she saw that Zhao Zhuoxi had put a crystal green jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Just now, the Third Princess called me over and gave me this, saying it was for my future wife."

Jiang Jiu smiled and Zhao Zhuoxi put it on her.

On second thought, the Third Prince's wife had a grudge against her and might be the real culprit behind the murder of her grandmother.

Wait until she tells this guess to Zhao Zhuoxi.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuoxi thought about it quietly for a moment and actually agreed.

"I knew that Third Brother would never kill the woman he loves. Women don't understand men. I am a man, and I understand my Third Brother."

"If Third Brother knew it was poisonous, he would rather drink it himself than give it to your grandmother."
