I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 106 Demonic Fire

"Good, you are really my good queen and good prince!" After listening to Jin Weiwu's report, Han Junwu immediately looked out the window with an angry face.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your body." Wei Sheng immediately handed over ginseng tea from the next room: "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding" Han Junwu laughed out loud after hearing this: "Humph, apart from the Queen, not many people know about this, how could there be any misunderstanding? They are really impatient and covet my position. This move can be said to kill two birds with one stone. I can get rid of their stumbling block with the help of others, and I don't have to bear the infamy. Speaking of which, this is very similar to me when I was young. Should I be happy or sad?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Wei Sheng didn't dare to say anything. After all, Zhen Luoyi and Han Junyi had already done this.

"Is there still no news about Wu Jingxin?" Han Junwu turned around and looked at the kneeling Jinwu Guards who were holding him.

"I am incompetent and am still searching with all my might." Jinwuwei said with his head lowered.

Han Junwu sighed: "Go down, everyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Sheng hurriedly left with the Jinwu Guards, leaving Han Junwu some quiet time.

Han Junwu fiddled with the fingerboard on his hand, sighing and dazed. He didn't expect that there would be such a day when he would be framed by his closest person. He didn't have time to think about this. The most urgent thing was to guard against Chen Shaoyi and the Yuan family. If they already knew that Yuan Zexi's death was his fault, they would definitely fight back. His Jinwu Guards were destroyed in batches at the hands of Chen Shaoyi. He was not an easy person to deal with.

Han Junwu sat on the dragon throne, frowning, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness. He sighed softly, as if the whole room could hear the heaviness in his heart. He slowly picked up the imperial brush, dipped it in ink, and prepared to issue an important decree.

The moment the pen tip touched the rice paper, Han Junwu's thoughts surged like a tide. He knew that his health was not good, but the state affairs could not be delayed. After careful consideration, he finally wrote:

"I have been feeling very tired these days, both physically and mentally, and I urgently need to rest and recuperate. However, the affairs of state cannot be neglected, so I have ordered Prince Yi to temporarily handle the affairs of state on my behalf. I hope Prince Yi can put state affairs first, do his best, and live up to my trust and confidence. I decree this!"

"Wei Sheng, come in." Han Junwu finished writing the imperial edict and silently looked at the imperial edict on the table, the ink of which had not yet dried. Then he called Wei Sheng in.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" Wei Sheng stood respectfully beside the table.

"Take the imperial edict to Prince Yi's mansion." Han Junwu said weakly: "From now on, I will claim to be sick and will not see anyone. Including the Queen and Prince Yi."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Sheng nodded. After serving for so many years, this was the first time he felt Han Junwu's powerlessness. Perhaps he was tired.

He turned around, took the imperial edict and hurried out of the palace to Prince Yi's Mansion.

"Hurry up and accept the order, Your Highness Prince Yi. I have to go back quickly to take care of the emperor." After Wei Sheng finished reading the imperial edict, he saw that Han Junyi was still in a daze and reminded him.

"Yes." Han Junyi took the imperial edict in a daze. He didn't know when Wei Sheng went back. He stared at the imperial edict in his hand in a daze. In fact, his father had always favored him and trained him as the successor. But now he was calculating against his old and frail father. Have my mother and I done anything wrong?

"Prince! Prince!" Seeing Han Junyi was in a daze, Jin Jingni called him softly.

"Hmm?" Han Junyi came back to his senses when he heard Jin Jingni's voice.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Jin Jingni looked at Han Junyi with concern. The meaning of this imperial decree was self-evident. She seemed to see herself wearing a phoenix crown and standing high above everyone else. This was how it should be. She only blamed herself for not being clear-headed and longing for something that did not belong to her. That was why she took the wrong step again and again.

"It's okay, Princess, please pack some things. We will stay in the palace for a while, and your mother also wants to spend more time with you." Han Junyi took the imperial edict and stood up and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." When Jin Jingni heard that Zhen Luoyi wanted to find her, she knew it must be because of the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner a few days ago. She felt a little annoyed just thinking about it. She really didn't like this old witch who always pointed fingers at her!

At the early morning court session the next day, Wei Sheng read out the imperial edict again. Han Junyi walked to the center of the hall under the gaze of everyone and began the morning court session.

Jin Jingni also got up early to pay her respects to Zhen Luoyi in the palace. When she was in the mansion and Zhen Luoyi was in the palace, she was exempted from paying her respects to the palace every day. But now, she has to pay her respects every day, which makes her feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"Jingni pays respects to the Queen Mother." Jin Jingni bowed and saluted.

"Jinni is here, please sit down." Zhen Luoyi put down the cup in her hand and looked at Jin Jingni with a smile. "How are you doing recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, mother. Everything is fine." Jin Jingni sat upright and smiled appropriately.

"That's good." Zhen Luoyi nodded with satisfaction. "You should come to the palace more often to keep me company. By the way, how are you and Jun Yi doing recently?"

Jin Jingni blushed and lowered her head, "Thank you for your concern, mother. Jingni and the prince... are doing well."

Zhen Luoyi smiled and said, "As long as you and your wife are in harmony, I am relieved. However, Jun Yi is now in charge of government affairs, so he will inevitably be busy. You should be more considerate of him."

"Jingni understands and will be a good wife." Jin Jingni answered obediently.

Zhen Luoyi paused, then continued, "By the way, I have called the imperial physician over. You two should let him take a look later. You two have been married for a long time, but you haven't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. I am also worried."

Jin Jingni raised her head a little embarrassedly, but she couldn't refuse directly. "I will follow the arrangements of the Queen Mother."

The imperial physician arrived soon. It was Li Xingcai. "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Yi."

"Thank you, Doctor Li, for helping the princess to check what's wrong with her body." Zhen Luoyi didn't know that Li Xingcai was no longer her man, and she continued to use him.

Li Xingcai felt Jin Jingni's pulse. After a diagnosis, he frowned slightly and turned to Zhen Luoyi and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is fine, but her pulse shows that there seems to be a cold stagnation in her body, which may affect her pregnancy."

Zhen Luoyi's expression changed slightly, "Is there any way to treat it?"

Li Xingcai pondered for a moment, "I can prescribe some prescriptions to warm the yang and dispel the cold, and the princess needs to take them on time. In addition, you should also pay attention to keeping warm on weekdays to avoid catching a cold."

Jin Jingni's heart tightened. She was of course aware of her physical condition, but at this moment she could only respond obediently: "Thank you, Doctor Li."

After sending Li Xingcai away, Zhen Luoyi comforted him, "Don't worry, Imperial Doctor Li said that you can take care of it. You just need to take the medicine according to the prescription, and you will get pregnant soon and give birth to a grandson for us."

Jin Jingni nodded, "Jingni knows, thank you for your concern, mother." However, she felt a little uneasy. If she really couldn't get pregnant, her status in the palace would be affected. The doctor Li just now must be Zhen Luoyi's man. I don't know if he can see what's wrong with me. Now I can only take it one step at a time.

"Mother, Jingni, what are you talking about?" Han Junyi had just returned from court and saw the two of them talking.

"Your Majesty."

"It's time to leave the court. Yier." Zhen Luoyi looked at Han Junyi with joy. She was a little surprised to learn this morning that Han Junwu had actually ordered Yier to take over the government. She couldn't guess what he meant by this for a while, but after thinking about it, she understood. Firstly, he had no way out, and secondly, he knew his own physical condition.

"We are talking about Jingni's health. Doctor Li came to see her and said that there is a coldness in her body, which will affect conception." Zhen Luoyi looked at Han Junyi worriedly.

Han Junyi comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. There are so many doctors in the palace. They will definitely cure Jingni."

Jin Jingni also echoed, "Don't worry, mother. With the help of the Imperial Hospital, Jingni will definitely recover."

The three chatted for a while, and Han Junyi asked Jin Jingni to go back and rest. He stayed to talk with Zhen Luoyi. "Princess, please go back first. I will come back after talking to my mother."

Jin Jingni couldn't ask for more, so she immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty, Jingni will take her leave first."

After Jin Jingni walked away, Han Junyi slowly spoke: "Mother, did we do something wrong?"

"Yier, you must not have such thoughts," Zhen Luoyi looked at Han Junyi with a serious face, "If it weren't for this, your father wouldn't have let you take charge of government affairs so easily. Besides, you are his only son, who else can take on the responsibility? All we have done is to add fuel to the fire. Don't feel any pressure!"

Han Junyi nodded slightly, "I understand. But... Father has always been very tolerant of me. This time, under our pressure, he issued an imperial decree. I feel a little guilty."

Zhen Luoyi patted Han Junyi's hand and said, "This is the choice your father must make as the emperor. You just need to do your part well, and that will be the best reward for him."

"As for Jin Jingni..." Zhen Luoyi hesitated to speak.

Han Junyi hurriedly said: "I know what to do. After all, she is the daughter of the Jin family. I will handle it carefully."

Zhen Luoyi sighed, "I'm glad you understand. Royal marriages often involve a lot of things. But no matter what, mother is doing this for your own good. I will ask the imperial physician to take care of her health, and I'm sure Prime Minister Jin will also support mother."

Han Junyi nodded seriously, "I understand. Thank you for your advice, mother."

...................

"Han Junwu's tactic of retreating in order to advance is very good. Not only can he protect himself temporarily, but he can also buy enough time to recover his strength and bide his time." Yuan Niao Niao smiled.

"That's right." Chen Shaoyi put down the letter in his hand and said, propping up his face with one hand and looking at Yuan Niao Niao: "Niao Niao, how about causing him some trouble tonight? I'm really used to his smug look now."

"Of course." Yuan Niaoniao's eyes lit up when she said this. "Let me think about what kind of show we can put on for him tonight."

"I want to try Miss Gong's new work. It just got delivered from Beimo, and I feel Niao Niao will definitely like it." Chen Shaoyi smiled.

"Let me guess, colorful! Right!" Yuan Niaoniao had a hunch that it was the modern fireworks that Jiaxin had mentioned before.

"As smart as Niao Niao, exactly." Chen Shaoyi smiled and said, "It's a new type of firecrackers."

"It's called Modern Fireworks! Jiaxin told me about this idea before going to Beimo. So it means that it has been successfully developed. Our fireworks are of a single color, but Jiaxin said that their fireworks can be colorful and can even be made into text patterns. In short, it sounds amazing!!!" Yuan Niaoniao became more and more excited as she spoke.

"We won't launch a night attack tonight. We will launch a surprise attack as soon as it gets dark to catch them off guard." Chen Shaoyi stood up, took Niao Niao's hand, and prepared to set off.

"Okay!" Yuan Niaoniao's face was full of anticipation.

As night fell, Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niaoniao led a team of people and quietly sneaked into the palace. They first dealt with the patrolling soldiers and came to the roof of a hall.

Chen Shaoyi said to Niao Niao, "Watch carefully." He took out a fire starter and lit the fireworks invented by Gong Jiaxin. It was a long one. According to her instructions, just light it and point it at the sky or an open space. Instantly, colorful lights bloomed in the sky, forming all kinds of wonderful patterns and words.

The entire palace was awakened by the sudden sound of fireworks. They covered their ears and walked out of the palace carefully, then stuck their heads out to see the wonderful sight in the sky.

"This is..." Han Junyi looked at the sky in surprise.

Zhen Luoyi couldn't help but sigh: "How beautiful..."

As everyone was enjoying the fireworks, Chen Shaoyi waved his hand, and the secret guards immediately took out a firework and pointed it at the empty space. In an instant, all kinds of colorful fireballs scurried to the ground like mice. The people in the palace had never seen such a scene before, and they screamed in fear: "Demon fire! Demon fire!"

Han Junyi sensed the danger and reacted immediately. He drew his sword to defend himself: "Protect the Queen and Princess!" Then he watched cautiously as the "demon fire" spread out in all directions, making banging sounds!

Han Junwu was also awakened by the "thunders" and quietly stood near the window to observe the situation outside.

Wei Sheng shouted nervously: "Your Majesty, be careful."

"I know." Han Junwu saw the noise coming from the main hall, and said it was just the same as before, teasing everyone in the palace. "I thought it was aimed at me, but I am too arrogant."

Some fireworks burst into sparks, and the eunuchs and maids shouted again: "The fire is coming, the fire is coming!"

The soldiers were even more courageous and sneaked in the "demon fire" in an attempt to fight against it. Some of them accidentally had their clothes and trousers set on fire. Seeing this, Han Junyi shouted, "Quickly bring water!"

Only then did the soldiers react, but the situation was already in chaos.

"Hahahaha, this is fun." Yuan Nianiao laughed and clapped her hands.

"Niaoniao, do you want to try it?" Chen Shaoyi handed over a long stick-shaped firework.

Yuan Niaoniao took it over, and Chen Shaoyi took out a fire starter to light it. Niaoniao immediately pointed it at the ground and made a series of "bang bang bang, whoosh whoosh whoosh", scaring the people below so much that they ran around with their heads in their hands. Han Junyi even hid in the hall and watched the situation outside, not knowing that the culprit was right above his head. Qu clenched his fist tightly and hit the wall heavily: "Damn it!" He naturally saw that the incident tonight was nothing more than an opportunity to take advantage of him and show him off! But at this time, he was helpless!
