After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 497 Ruzed to the Ground
"Your Majesty, the Gu family has arrived." Qian Rongsheng said respectfully outside the carriage curtain.

In the farm outside the city, not long after Niu Niu ran away, the emperor sent someone to catch up with her in a horse-drawn carriage.

At this time, the emperor lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the small dark blue door in front of him that had just been painted.

The official positions of the Gu family were not particularly high, so the specifications of the entrance gate were only average in the capital.

The emperor never thought there was anything wrong with this door in the past, but today he couldn't help but frown when he looked at it.

He had also visited the Li family's mansion and recalled the Li family's spacious and bright gate and every detail inside that was exquisitely furnished. He thought to himself that he could find a reason to reward the Gu family with another mansion, which would also be considered respectable.

Whenever he thought of these things, the emperor felt as if he had endless energy, and in a trance he thought he was still a young man in his early twenties.

Qian Rongsheng waited for a while, but did not see the emperor get off the carriage. He looked up quietly and saw that the emperor was thinking of something with a smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you have been in great spirits these days, and it seems like there is some good news," Qian Rongsheng said.

The emperor nodded gently: "There is indeed good news, but I can't tell you, old man."

Qian Rongsheng could only smile along.

Just as the emperor was about to get off the carriage, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, as if a crisis was emerging.

"Your Majesty?" Qian Rongsheng asked doubtfully.

The emperor frowned slightly and waved his hand: "Forget it, since the little girl is not feeling well today, then go back to the palace first. We will meet again."

Qian Rongsheng thought of Niu Niu's cute little face. He had been looking forward to seeing the little girl outside the palace, but when he heard the emperor say that he wanted to return to the palace, he felt relieved for some reason.

After the carriage entered the palace, the emperor's vague sense of crisis finally disappeared completely.

"Take two kilograms of the newly acquired pre-rain Longjing tea this year and give it to Gu Mingda." The emperor instructed Qian Rongsheng.

Qian Rongsheng quickly agreed.

The emperor thought for a moment and gave another instruction: "You go and deliver it yourself. Since we have good tea, we can't do without cakes and pastries to go with it. Pick out some cakes that the children like to eat and send them along."

Qian Rongsheng lowered his head and thought to himself, the emperor valued Gu Mingda so much, even though he now holds a low position, he must not neglect him.

But when he thought back, it seemed that he had never neglected the Gu family. Firstly, it was because of Niu Niu, and secondly, he had heard from his subordinates that although Gu Mingda was a serious scholar, he never looked down on eunuchs like other officials. He even treated a small eunuch with normal eyes.

In the backyard of the Gu family, Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang took a lot of effort to stop the crazy girl.

"We were just making an analogy. Don't think too much about it. Things haven't gotten to that point yet!" Zhang Yunniang tried to persuade him.

The crazy girl's face was full of disbelief. She said, "Who would make such an analogy for no reason? Something must have happened. You two are so hesitant. Are you hiding something from me?"

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang looked at each other. They didn't expect that the crazy girl was so sharp.

"It's just our guess. We like to think about it when we have nothing to do." Zhang Yunniang said stiffly.

But the crazy girl's eyes were particularly sharp: "The duck knows first when the river water warms in spring. Even if the Third Miss is not hurt now, something else must have happened. There must be a reason for her crazy thoughts!"

Zhang Yunniang said, "It's just that your majesty has been paying extra attention to Gu's family recently, so we are overthinking it."

The crazy girl nodded: "It's not outrageous for you to have such a guess. The emperor is a heartless man. He will not show kindness to the Gu family for no reason." Gu Mingda's heart sank when he heard this.

The crazy girl continued, "Instead of waiting until the situation develops to the worst, why don't we take the initiative and kill him directly!"

Zhang Yunniang saw the ruthlessness she had never seen before on the crazy girl's face, and she felt overwhelmed: "Why do you keep saying such things? Aren't you afraid that others will hear it?"

"So what if I listen to it? Kings, princes, generals, and ministers, who are all of different species? As long as the Third Miss can live comfortably, I am willing to die a hundred times!" said the crazy girl confidently.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang smiled bitterly.

It's easy for the crazy girl to say it, but it's not that easy to really do these things. The world is peaceful now, and I'm afraid I'll be beaten down as soon as I show my head.

"Things haven't reached the worst yet. Even if His Majesty really has ill intentions, I will stop him even at the cost of my life. If I can't stop him even if I die, then I'll do as you say, okay?" Gu Mingda had to first appease the crazy girl, who was like a time bomb.

The crazy girl looked at him and said, "I hope you can be of some use."

When the Gu couple heard the insults, they didn't have the energy to refute.

The crazy girl added: "Although we are not going to slay the dragon now, we still cannot fall behind in the preparations."

Gu Mingda looked confused.

The crazy girl handed him the paper bag in her hand and said, "I'll tell you a ratio. According to this amount, find a way to make at least a hundred servings."

Gu Mingda opened the paper bag and saw that there was a lot of powder mixed inside. From the smell, it seemed to be saltpeter, carbon powder or something like that.

"What's the use of this thing?" Gu Mingda asked.

The crazy girl said proudly, "This is my greatest reliance. I estimate that if I make a hundred copies, I can raze the palace to the ground!"

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang's faces were filled with fear at the same time, and their hands holding the paper bag were shaking: "Such a dangerous thing... You must keep it well..."

The crazy girl said, "I'm not lighting a fire, so it won't explode normally, don't worry."

Gu Mingda had no way of feeling at ease. He had already thought about asking someone to dig a cellar at home tomorrow to store such dangerous items.

Niu Niu, who was still playing in the front yard, had no idea that a bloody incident almost occurred in her home.

At this moment, she was stopping the servants of Duke Xian's Mansion.

Although Duke Xian was seriously injured, after a simple bandage by the doctor, he was able to return to the city in the carriage.

The first thing he did after returning to the capital was to send a servant to the Gu family to pick someone up.

"Miss Third, Miss Gu has somewhere to go now, what about you?" There was a hint of threat on the face of the servant of Duke Xian's Mansion when he said this.

Qin Jingshu missed the time she spent at Gu's house very much, but just as the other party said, she had nowhere to go.

"Our family is willing to keep her, and she has a place to stay!" Niu Niu opened her hands to block the servants.

The servant knew that Niuniu was the child that the two families were fighting over, so he didn't dare to be violent with her. He could only say, "Miss Gu, do you want the whole capital to talk about our Third Miss being unfilial? An ungrateful ungrateful bastard? Or do you want others to think that it's not enough for the Gu family to snatch one child from the Duke of Xian's mansion, but they want to snatch two?"
