Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Gunpowder was a strictly controlled item in the Daqian Kingdom and ordinary people could not possibly touch it.

Why do these jars smell like gunpowder?

"What is this girl doing?"

The man in a short coat came over carrying a jar. Seeing Su Manman's behavior, his eyes became alert.

"I'm just curious." Su Manman put down the lid of the jar and clenched her hands, which were covered with gunpowder powder. "How is the jar in the temple different from the jar in our house?"

"They are all ordinary jars." A young monk came forward and said with a smile, "Donor, we grow our own crops in the back mountain, and we plan to use these jars to make vinegar."

"I see." Su Manman also laughed, "Brewing vinegar in front of the Buddha must taste great."

“It tastes excellent.”

The young novice monk, who was only a little over ten years old, put his hands together and said with a smile, "If I have the good fortune to meet you in three months, I will definitely give you a bottle to try."

"Thank you!" Su Manman nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

After the two of them started talking, the man in the short coat stopped asking questions and instead urged the young monk, "Hurry up and move. The rain is getting heavier and the road down the mountain will be difficult to walk on."

Several people started to get busy again.

"Miss, the lady is leaving quickly." Taohong chased her out the door and urged her.

Su Manman responded and followed the others.

This time, they arrived at another separate courtyard.

This courtyard is remote, but the interior furnishings are exquisite and it is completely separated from the incense room outside.

As soon as they returned to the house, a young monk prepared vegetarian food.

A few simple wild mountain vegetables and corn soup.

The joy of reunion after a long separation made Mrs. Zhou very happy, and she had an extra bowl of porridge during the meal.

Lin was in a good mood and ate a little more.

Only Su Manman was uneasy. She drank only a bowl of corn soup and then put down her bowl and chopsticks.

After the meal, Mrs. Lin, who had just recovered from a serious illness, felt tired, so Nanny Li helped her to rest.

Su Manman thanked Mrs. Zhou and planned to return to her room.

When a person was walking in the corridor and passed by the window, he heard the conversation between Mrs. Zhou and Li Yuan in the house.

"Doctor Li, I heard that there is a piece of ice stone in the Princess's Mansion that can suppress any poison. Will it be effective for Lin's illness?"

Li Yuan's voice came, "It should be effective. However, the eldest princess is away from home all year round and cannot ask for permission."

"In the capital, His Royal Highness Prince Qi and the Princess are siblings. If we ask him, we might have a chance of success."

"Ah!" Old Madam Zhou sighed. "His Royal Highness Prince Qi has been at the border for many years and has only just returned to the capital. I have no connection with him at all, so how can I persuade him? But that little girl Su..."

"What a pity! She said she was just an acquaintance of His Highness Prince Qi. I'm afraid this path won't work either."

"Don't worry, old lady." Li Yuan consoled her, "Your health is also important."

The conversation in the room gradually died down.

Su Manman stood there for a while, then quickened her pace and headed towards the room in front.

Seeing the shadow in front of the window disappear, Madam Zhou came back to her senses and shook the Buddhist beads in her hand, "I also want to rest for a while."

Su Manman walked faster and faster, and some complicated information began to converge in her mind bit by bit.

Dark night, on the way back to the city, praying to King Yemo, gunpowder, assassination...

Wang Er, the fake porcelain vase maker, Wang Er, the jar maker, and Wang Er, who might have created the poisoned bowl, whose poison was connected to the Huanyue Kingdom...

When she reached the door of the wing room, she suddenly stopped.

Taohong, who had been chasing her, almost bumped into her back, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"Assassination." Su Manman said softly, "Tonight, Huanyue Nation intends to assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented dark tide, "Use gunpowder."

Fortunately, fortunately, God is kind and it is raining, making it difficult for the gunpowder to ignite.

Just because it's not easy to ignite doesn't mean it won't explode.

Less than twenty days later, Li Niang died of poisoning.

She placed a bounty of 20,000 taels of silver at the Bi Cang Auction House to buy a piece of ice stone.

She had also inquired and found out that only the eldest princess in the entire capital had this item.

The Princess's Mansion is not short of money and will not be sold.

Those thieves who wanted silver did not dare to steal from the princess's mansion.

Xie Yousheng assured her that he would try his best to get it.

But she couldn't put all her hopes on him.

Her mother's poison was about to take effect, and she had to take the initiative.

Thinking of what Old Madam Zhou said, if she asked His Royal Highness Prince Qi to owe her a favor and then asked him for a piece of Ice Stone, she should have some chance of winning.

It would be best if this favor is a life-saving grace.

Right now, such a great opportunity is in front of me.

She had reminded him several times before, just wanting to help.

This time, she will take the initiative.

Su Manman lifted the curtain and went back to the house. She opened the suitcase she was carrying, changed into a black suit, put on a black cloak, let her hair down, and tied it into a bun with quick movements, dressing up as a young man.

"Girl," Taohong saw her dressed like this, opened the window and looked at the sky outside, and asked anxiously, "It's raining heavily outside, where are you going?"

"I have to go out for something." Su Manman said concisely, "You stay at the house. If mother comes looking for me, tell her I've gone to bed. I will definitely be back before dawn tomorrow morning."

"But young lady..." Taohong was still worried, "Young lady, you are very sleepy at night. Going out so late..."

Su Manman poured all the Chinese medicine bottles from the box into a cloth bag, then grabbed a handful of brain-stimulating pills and stuffed them into her mouth. "I can hold on."

If you hold on this time, mother will be saved.

"Girl, take me with you." Qingluan came out with a sword.

"No." Su Manman's expression was solemn, and she patted Qingluan's shoulder. "Tonight, someone with unknown identity might sneak into the temple. You and Taohong should be careful and protect the courtyard. Madam Zhou and my mother must not get into any trouble."

"Yes." Qingluan accepted the order.

Su Manman jumped out of the window and jumped onto the roof in a flash. She moved quickly in the rain and fog. When she reached the gate, the two carriages carrying the jars had already left the steps.

She jumped down from the roof beam, came to the stable, and was about to catch a horse.

The curtain of the carriage beside her suddenly opened, and Zhao Dashan came out with a furious look on his face. When he saw her, his expression changed quickly, and he bowed and said, "Sir, why are you here?"

She changed into men's clothes, but he didn't question it at all.

He is someone Jie Yousheng trusts.

She could trust him, too.

"I need a fast horse."

Zhao Dashan quickly untied a horse and handed the reins to Su Manman, "This is a thousand-mile horse that can travel a thousand miles a day."

"You are here, have you ever seen anyone from the Wu Mansion go out?"

"The carriage from the Wu Mansion set out an hour ago. It's raining now, and according to the carriage's speed..."

Zhao Dashan answered seriously, "Sir, if you want to catch up, just ride faster and you can catch up in half an hour."

In half an hour, she rode her horse to the pasture slope.

There is a mountain wall on one side and a mountain stream on the other. If gunpowder is buried on the road, there will be nowhere to escape if it explodes.

Su Manman said nothing more, jumped on the horse, and whipped the horse hard. The horse rushed into the rain like a flash of lightning and ran forward with all its might...

The wind howled, the rain poured down, and the sky and the earth were in chaos.

The rain blurred her vision, but she relied on her intuition to guide the horse to avoid obstacles and go down the mountain road.

The cloak on her body rustled in the wind. It was made of oil silk and was windproof and rainproof. It protected her from the heavy rain and kept her a little warm.

"Qi Wang Yemo, I hope you can hold on."
