Just like that, the two of them took Lin Che and walked in through the side door of Qianmen Street.

The inside and outside of this building are simply two different worlds. The gongs and drums outside are noisy, but the inside is quiet and deep.

When the guards arrived, they stopped and knelt down to sign up to see them.

Not long after, the door was half opened from the inside, and a fair and beardless face was revealed.

Lin Che knew this person.

It was he who delivered the order that day, Wei Zhongxian, the servant of Emperor Yue Tian.

He looks like a smart person.

When Wei Zhongxian saw Lin Che, he nodded slightly and stepped aside to open the door.

Just as Lin Che was about to take a step forward, she suddenly remembered that she still had a knife on her waist.

He quickly turned around and winked at Wei Zhongxian, then took his chin and pushed it towards his waist.

Wei Zhongxian was not polite and put away Lin Che's sword with ease!

There were not many lights on in the room, and the light was dim!

The room was also small. There was only a table and a chair, and a celadon lamp on the table. The flame of the lamp was thin, illuminating people's faces with clear light and shadow.

Emperor Yue Tian was sitting behind the table, and the robe he was wearing was not a formal court uniform, but looked like a homely black uniform.

But her aura of calm and self-confidence was not diminished at all by her easy-going clothes.

Lin Che raised her head and met the eyes of Emperor Shang Yue. There seemed to be a cold light shining in those eyes.

It's not like he's angry, but like he's thinking about something. It's bottomless and makes people feel hairy.

Naturally, when meeting the emperor, he had to kneel down and salute. Lin Che did not dare to be careless about this rule.

When Lin Che stood up, she heard Emperor Yue Tian speak in front of her:

"What happened just now?"

When Lin Che heard this, the string in her heart immediately tightened.

Then he told it in detail.

He lowered his head and his tone sounded sincere:

"Your Majesty, please tell me how much gunpowder is hidden in the lotus. Send someone to check it and you will know."

"I was so anxious at that time that I stretched out my hand to pinch the fuse. My hands were so hot that they were blistered. This was how I eliminated a major disaster."

As he spoke, he opened his palms and showed the emperor the several burned red marks on his palms.

The few chamberlains and guards standing nearby didn't look very good after hearing this.

When I think about the fact that the big lotus is filled with gunpowder, what if it explodes in the middle of the celebration...

Is that okay?

I'm afraid half the street could be blown away. Just thinking about that scene makes people shudder.

After hearing this, Emperor Yue Tian had no expression on his face, but his eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice:

"Since they had planned it, why did the scene look like this?"

His question was confusing, but everyone present knew in their hearts that he was asking why the lotus flower did not fly to the stand according to its original trajectory, but fell down halfway.
