The next morning.
Zhu Rong, who was lying on the workbench, woke up in a daze.
"Oh ~"
"It's finally done!"
Looking at the three small flintlocks neatly placed in front of him, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhu Rong's face.
After three days and two nights, he finally finished it in a hurry.
However, this flintlock still needed to be tested before it could be considered complete.
The flintlock gun required gunpowder, but King Wu's Residence obviously did not have the conditions.
Because gunpowder was very dangerous and could easily cause a fire or even an explosion, the imperial court was extremely strict with its control.
Even Zhu Biao would find it extremely difficult to get his hands on gunpowder, let alone him.
Of course, Zhu Rong had the ability to make his own gunpowder, but he didn't dare to provoke Old Zhu. Once he was discovered, he would be beaten up again. He wouldn't do such a losing business.
"Looks like I still have to go to the War Bureau. I wonder if the eunuch in charge will stop me.”
"Sigh, I don't care. If I stop them, I can just barge in. It's just a test for the flintlock.”
"Even if Old Zhu was alerted, he wouldn't punish me with the flintlock.”
Zhu Xiong muttered to himself. After making a plan, he packed up and prepared to go to the War Bureau.
.
At the same time, a luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the Wu Estate.
With the help of a servant girl, a woman in a light purple dress alighted from the carriage.
Who else could it be but Minmin Moore?
After entering the Wu Estate, Minmin Moore asked the maid who led the way,""Are Wu Wang's injuries better?”
"This…"
The little servant girl choked for a moment and did not know what to say.
"What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"
"Then I'll see for myself. Where is the King of Wu?"”
"Replying to Consort Qin, His Highness has been in the workshop in the west room for three days and two nights.”
After the initial hesitation, the little servant girl seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw and begged Minmin Moore,"His highness has ordered that no one is allowed to approach him, but he is still injured. This servant is afraid that his injuries will worsen, so please go and persuade Qin Wangfei.”
"Take me to the workshop in the west room."
Upon hearing this, Minmin Moore urged anxiously.
Of course, she wasn't concerned about Zhu Rong's health, but she suspected that Zhu Rong was making something new.
Perhaps, the novelty he designed and made could threaten his brother's expansion.
Because, just yesterday, she learned that Zhu Rong was going to follow the army north.
At this critical moment, Zhu Rong had locked himself in the workshop for three days and two nights with his injuries. Minmin Moore would never believe that he was not preparing for the battlefield of the northern expedition.
....
"Hmm? Second sister-in-law? Why are you here?"
As soon as Zhu Rong pushed open the door of the workshop, he happened to meet Minmin Moore, who was rushing over.
Seeing the other party's anxious expression, Zhu Rong asked curiously,""Second Sister-in-law, you're out of breath. Did something big happen?”
Hu ~
Hu ~
Minmin Muir took two deep breaths. Looking at the intact Zhu Xi in front of him, he patted the bear's mouth with lingering fear.
"You really scared me to death.”
"He was obviously seriously injured, so why did he lock himself in the workshop for three days and two nights? He doesn't take care of his body.”
Minmin Moore 'fiercely' glared at Zhu Rong.
Then, when he saw the other party's tattered clothes, blackened face, and disheveled hair, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Pfft ~"
"Uncle is really a child who hasn't grown up yet. He doesn't even know how to take care of his appearance.”
"You are now the King of Wu, conferred by Imperial Father. You can't do this anymore.”
"Look, your hair is so messy. It's like a bird's nest.”
As Minmin Moore spoke, she raised her arm and approached Zhu Rong's head with her jade-like fingers, wanting to help her tidy her hair.
"Sister-in-law, you can't!"
Zhu Rong took a step back and avoided Minmin Moore's action. It was too intimate in front of outsiders.
"What? Are you shy?"
Seeing this, Minmin and Moore couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle." An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Although I'm not your elder sister-in-law, I'm still your second sister-in-law. So what if I take care of you?"”
"A few years ago, when you were still young, sister-in-law and I even helped you bathe.”
Zhu Rong's face instantly turned hot.
Minmin Moore was not lying.
Since young, he and his fourth brother, Zhu Di, were brought up by his eldest brother, Zhu Biao, and his sister-in-law, Madam Chang. To him, Madam Chang was almost like a second mother.
When she was young, she was naughty and dirtied herself. It was common for her to be caught and pressed into a bathtub to bathe.
In the past, Minmin Moore seemed to have helped Madam Chang bathe him.
"If you dare to hide again, I'll tell Sister-in-law that you don't cherish your body. Let's see if she doesn't teach you a lesson.”
Minmin Moore threatened Zhu Rong.
"Don't, don't!"
Zhu Rong repeatedly yielded. He didn't dare to let Madam Chang know about this, or else he would be taught a lesson again.
He hurriedly explained," I'm actually doing this for the sake of the northern expedition. Besides, the ointment you gave me previously was very effective. After applying it, I don't feel pain anymore. That's why…"
"Alright, don't explain anymore. It's good that she's fine.”
Minmin Moore reached out her hand to Zhu Rong again. This time, the latter did not dodge, causing her to smile.
She reached out to wipe the coal ash off Zhu Rong's face and said,""Don't worry, we won't tell sister-in-law.”
"However, you must quickly wash up and tidy up.”
"Men, hurry up and prepare a bath for Wu Wang.”
Minmin Moore had a kind smile on his face, but he was nervous.
As expected, she was right.
Zhu Xiong had locked himself in the workshop for three days and two nights to make some kind of war machine for the northern expedition.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Zhu Rong had clearly completed the production.
"No, I have to find out from Zhu Rong about the new war machines he made. Otherwise, when he goes north, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to my brother.”
Minmin Moore secretly made up his mind.
The best time to get information was when others let down their guard.
Bathing could relax people, and with the things she had specially prepared for Zhu Rong, it wouldn't be difficult to dazzle him and make him reveal the truth.
Not long after, a servant came to report that the bath was ready.
However, when Zhu Rong went to take a bath, Minmin Moore actually followed him.
"Sister-in-law, I want to take a bath."
"Yes!"
"Sister-in-law, I want to take a bath."
Seeing that Minmin Moore still didn't stop, Zhu Xiong repeated with a bitter face.
"Why? Are you shy?!"
"If you had a wife or concubine, I wouldn't have interfered in this matter. But you're still single, aren't you?!"”
"The servants don't know how to handle it. You still have injuries on your body. I won't be at ease if others help you wash.”
"I'll do it for you and help you change your medicine.”
"There are still some tricks to changing the dressing. You can't handle it yourself. Otherwise, why do you think I came to visit today? I'm here to help you change the dressing.”
Looking at Minmin Moore's sincere expression, Zhu Rong secretly laughed in his heart.
Was it because I acted too well, or was it because my sister-in-law was too innocent?
He fell for it just like that?
In fact, he had deliberately let it slip just now and mentioned the Northern Expedition, workshop, and so on, just to arouse Minmin Moore's interest.
To put it simply, he wanted to set a trap for her.
He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Now, it seemed that she had only needed to pretend to be bewitched and defenseless when she took a bath and tell Minmin Moore the words she had prepared beforehand. Then, she would have fallen for the trap completely.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiong nodded and said,""Then I'll have to trouble Sister-in-law."
"Don't say such polite words. Just think of me!”
Minmin Moore pushed Zhu Rong into the room.
In his heart, he was filled with disdain.
As expected of an idiot who was blinded by color. He couldn't resist a small hook.
Even the way he looked at me became a little dirty.
The two of them entered the room with their own ulterior motives.
