"Eleven, have you ever studied whether the charcoal and saltpeter contained anything like what you were talking about?"

Situ Jing seemed to have thought of something, and immediately questioned Gu Shiyi.

Gu Shiyi shook her head, and smiled at Situ Jing, as they thought of the same thing.

"So, the problem is sulfur!"

"Indeed, and I heard Situ Yu say that not only did the sulfur come from Great Xia Kingdom, the Great Yu Kingdom, and even the sulfur of the Great Mo Nation were all purchased by him."

Gu Shiyi told Situ Jing everything that she knew.

"In other words, it's not a problem with the sulfur. The problem lies in the production process. In other words, there is a traitor in that underground workshop!"

After Situ Jing finished speaking, the image of the man dressed in red who stood beside Situ Yu suddenly surfaced in his mind.

This man, even if Situ Jing died, she wouldn't forget. Back then, she had been heavily injured and lost consciousness, to the point that Gu Shiyi lost her memories when she was imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Back then, it was this man that seriously injured him.

Now it seemed that since this man had always been a spy who hid by Situ Yu's side, he had always been ruthless towards him and Gu Shiyi.

Since they were enemies, why not let them bite each other? Perhaps they could also uncover the identity of the person in red?

Seeing Situ Jing's understanding of the situation, Gu Shiyi immediately asked. Two people's brains were still better than one person's.

Situ Jing also didn't hide anything from her. Ever since that incident, Situ Jing had learned to expose his heart to Gu Shiyi, even if what he was thinking inside was extremely dirty. As long as Gu Shiyi wanted to know, he would definitely tell her the truth.

After hearing what Situ Jing had said, for some reason, the memory of the mysterious person who killed the mama in front of her last time she saw Gu Moxue in the Prime Minister's Estate surfaced in Gu Shiyi's mind.

"Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to myself."

After Gu Shiyi had finished speaking the first half of the sentence, she noticed that Situ Jing's expression had changed and immediately added on. She obviously knew what Situ Jing was worried about.

"No, just in case …"

"No chance, you have to believe me!"

Before Situ Jing could finish worrying, Gu Shiyi immediately put her hand on Situ Jing's mouth, preventing him from continuing.

Situ Jing's heart instantly underwent a myriad of changes. Since Gu Shiyi wanted him to believe in her, then believe in her.

As for him, there was no way he would let her take the risk alone. He immediately made up his mind to hide in the shadows and protect her at all times.

At this time, the kitchen had suddenly quieted down. Gu Shiyi's hand had not yet removed from Situ Jing's lips, and the atmosphere had gradually begun to heat up.

Both of them stared at each other until Situ Jing stuck out his tongue and licked the tip of his finger that was on Gu Shiyi's lips.

Gu Shiyi hurriedly retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted. At the same time, her eyes moved elsewhere, she had never thought that Situ Jing would actually do such a thing, it was really childish!

Gu Shiyi's face was completely red, just as she was complaining with her head lowered, a burst of scorching Qi quickly struck her ears, following that, Situ Jing's head had already reached down from the bottom of her head, accurately covering her lips.

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Shiyi started to hug Situ Jing's neck, enthusiastically responding to his kiss.

In a short while, the two of them kissed until their mouths were parched and their tongues were dry. It was not until Gu Shiyi felt that there was something wrong with her body that they forcefully pushed him away.

He naturally understood why Gu Shiyi had pushed him away, and luckily, Gu Shiyi had reason enough to push him away at such a crucial moment. Otherwise, he was really afraid that she would lose control of herself and kill Gu Shiyi here.

This way, he would treat Gu Shiyi extremely badly. How could he let her stay in a place like the kitchen?

The next time, he would definitely bring Gu Shiyi to a place that was only fit for her.

Although the two of them had separated for the time being, the temperature around them did not drop and the atmosphere was still ambiguous. At this moment, no one wanted to bring up those serious matters again.

Situ Jing saw that Gu Shiyi's head was lowered, that bashful look caused his heart to be moved once again, so he pulled Gu Shiyi into his embrace, allowing her head to rest on his chest, allowing her to feel his heartbeat.

The two of them were not the type of people who excelled in sweet talk. However, even though they were silent, it was as if they could understand each other's thoughts. This caused them to feel extremely satisfied in their hearts.

Suddenly, the sound of something falling down broke the warm atmosphere between the two of them, and Gu Shiyi suddenly raised her head from Situ Jing's chest, and walked out of the kitchen, towards the origin of the sound.

At the entrance to the courtyard, a piece of firewood suddenly fell, followed by a grey cat leaping out of a small hole in the doorway.

Hearing the noise, Situ Jing immediately protected Gu Shiyi behind him. He grabbed the cat and threw it out of the courtyard.

After the cat left, Gu Shiyi gradually recovered her composure, and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard once again. On the fallen piece of firewood, there was a light green silk thread tied to the tip of the thorn.

Gu Shiyi crouched down and took the thread from the firewood, placing it in front of her nose and took a sniff, she understood.

"Why?"

Although Situ Jing's face was calm, he was secretly worried. He was not afraid that someone would notice the relationship between him and Gu Shiyi, he was afraid that Gu Shiyi might be in danger.

"It's fine, it's just a small fish. Don't worry, nothing will happen to it!"

Gu Shiyi was very calm, these words were not just to console Situ Jing, in fact, nothing would happen to him.

"That's good!"

Although Situ Jing said that, he was not at ease. He immediately decided to send more people to hide by Gu Shiyi's side to protect her at all times.

Xiao Zhi fled back to the room that she fainted in panic. She couldn't hide the excitement in her heart for a long time, who would have thought that she would accidentally discover Gu Shiyi's secret? How could this not make her happy?

Unexpectedly, while Gu Shiyi was together with her, she had actually been constantly entangled with other men. How come she didn't realize before that Gu Shiyi was such a beautiful woman?

One Situ Jing was not enough, but now there's one more.

If she told this to Situ Yu, would Situ Yu hate Gu Shiyi, and might even kill her?

Thinking about it, Xiao Zhi immediately walked towards the door, but just as she placed her hand on the doorknob, she stopped in her tracks.
