She didn't seem to be lying. This matter should have nothing to do with her... Liu Chan thought to himself, and then said with a smile: "Maybe our army used rocket launchers in Soochow and let the people of Wei figure it out."
As he spoke, Liu Chan sighed deliberately.
"Your Majesty!" Cao Ling paused and asked: "So... So Your Majesty thinks that Wei has explosives, which will threaten the Han Dynasty, and wants to attack it?"
"If my concubine were me!" Liu Chan asked with a deliberate smile: "What choice would my concubine make?"
Cao Ling was silent. Although she could not be the emperor, as a princess of the Wei Dynasty and now the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty, she still understood some things between the dynasties.
"Your Majesty!" Cao Ling suddenly knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, our Cao family is withering away now. I hope your Majesty will... treat our Wei royal family well after the war. I beg your Majesty!"
Cao Ling knew that the outbreak of war between Han and Wei was inevitable.
If the Wei Dynasty had not developed any explosives now, it might have been able to delay the war, but now that the Wei Dynasty has developed explosives in advance, it is clear that it will fight against the Han Dynasty.
Facing possible threats.
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Cao Ling felt that attacking Cao Wei was Liu Chan's only choice.
"My beloved, please get up quickly!" Liu Chan helped Cao Ling up and said calmly: "I only want the world to be unified, there will be no more wars, and the people of the world will have a peaceful and prosperous age."
"As for the royal family of Cao Wei..." Liu Chan paused, and then said: "As long as they have the same idea as me, I will naturally not persecute them. Please rest assured, my dear concubine."
Liu Chan didn't directly agree, but he didn't directly refuse either.
This made Cao Ling feel at ease.
After all, Han and Wei were enemy countries, Wei was the country that replaced the Han Dynasty, and Liu Chan was the emperor who continued the Han Dynasty. Han and Wei were natural enemies.
Wanting Liu Chan to directly agree not to harm the Cao Wei royal family is an excessive request. However, as a Han imperial concubine and the princess of Cao Wei, Cao Ling knew that the Cao Wei royal family might be doomed in the future, so she really couldn't bear not to say good things for them.
After leaving Cao Ling's Zhaoyang Palace, Liu Chan went to Wang Yuanji's Lanlin Palace.
Compared with Cao Ling, Wang Yuanji's opinions are much simpler and clearer.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Yuanji said in admiration: "Although I am a woman from the Wei Dynasty, I am now the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty and your Majesty's woman. I will never do anything that is sorry for the Han Dynasty or your Majesty."
"My beloved concubine, get up quickly!" Liu Chan helped Wang Yuanji up and said, "When did I say that I suspected that my beloved concubine had leaked the secret?"
Liu Chan indeed had no doubts about Wang Yuanji, not because of her reputation in history, but because she had always been approachable, respectful and virtuous after being married to Chang'an for so many years.
However, Liu Chan had doubts about Cao Ling.
After all, Cao Ling is the princess of Cao Wei, and she committed an assassination on her wedding night when she married into Chang'an.
Now that the Han Dynasty has firearms, as the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty, she may be able to obtain the formula of gunpowder, and then send someone to inform the Cao Wei court.
But with Cao Ling's performance just now, Liu Chan felt that the possibility of Cao Ling leaking the secret was not very high. In order to confirm his own thoughts, he deliberately came here to seek Wang Yuanji's opinion.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Yuanji stood up, shook her head and said, "The princess will not do anything to disgrace Your Majesty, even though she is the princess of Wei."
Wang Yuanji has always called Cao Ling princess. Even though she now has a higher status than Cao Ling, she still calls Cao Ling princess as always, whether in front of Cao Ling or without Cao Ling.
"Why?" Liu Chan asked deliberately.
"Because I know the princess well!" Wang Yuanji affirmed: "The princess has had a strong temper since she was a child. Whatever she wants to do, she will do it directly and will never do such a dark thing."
This is true... Liu Chan agrees with Wang Yuanji's words. After all, on their wedding night, she dared to directly assassinate the emperor. For someone who can do such a reckless act, let her do such a sneaky thing, she has already exposed her flaws.

"I love my concubine!" Liu Chan smiled again and asked: "If you love my concubine, now that Cao Wei has developed gunpowder, what should I, a big man, do to deal with it?"
Wang Yuanji pondered for a moment and sighed: "With gunpowder, the Wei Dynasty will soon develop weapons equal to those of the Han Dynasty. I think that if your Majesty wants to unify the world and revive the Han Dynasty, he should send troops in advance."
Liu Chan nodded slightly when he heard this. He understood what Wang Yuanji meant.
Now that Cao Wei has gunpowder, there is no doubt that Cao Fang will immediately start mass production and at the same time step up the development of weapons such as rocket launchers, because he is facing a big man who already has rocket launchers and the undisclosed Hanwang Cannon.
For Cao Wei, he wants to keep Cao Wei's empire.
It is urgent to have weapons that can match the big man.
Whether Cao Wei sent spies or secretly bribed Han officials, from Cao Wei's point of view, this was a very correct choice.
Unless Cao Fang wants to surrender to the Han Dynasty now and does not want to continue the Wei Dynasty.
All of Cao Fang's decisions are understandable.
However, this made Liu Chan a little nervous.
Because once Cao Wei has firearms, the future structure of the world will be very uncertain. Even if the Han Dynasty is strong now, Cao Wei still has the possibility of overturning.
Especially after Cao Fang killed Sima Yi and his son, what he did made Liu Chan a little scared. This was not the puppet emperor Cao Fang in history, but he was quite similar to his predecessor Cao Mengde.
Moreover, it once made Liu Chan suspicious.
Could it be that Cao Fang is also a time traveler?
Not long after the Gaoping Ling Incident, he actually killed Sima Yi and his son, whose intelligence was no less than that of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. Cao Fang in history could not do such a thing.
Also, after Cao Fang destroyed Sima Yi, he quickly consolidated the military and political power of Cao Wei into one person and took sole control of the military and political power of Cao Wei.
This skill, this courage.
This is also the reason why Liu Chan was a little nervous when he learned that Cao Wei had developed gunpowder. After all, the Han Dynasty had developed many products that were ahead of the times. But if the Han Dynasty hadn't deliberately leaked some secrets, both Cao Wei and Soochow would have been very nervous.
It’s hard to do it again.
But this time, Cao Fang took charge soon.
Cao Wei also had gunpowder that the Han Dynasty was proud of.
So this time Liu Chan pays great attention to the leaker. He must be found by me, otherwise the leaker will not know what he will leak in the future.
Two days later——
The worried Liu Chan, as soon as he entered the Xuanshi Hall, said to the eunuch in the hall: "Go and call Fu'an for me."
I have been checking for two days, but there is still no movement.
How to do it.
Soon after the eunuch agreed to leave, he returned to the Xuanshi Hall nervously.
"Your Majesty!"
The eunuch said in a panic: "The chief steward...the chief steward..."
Looking at the young eunuch's expression, Liu Chan couldn't help but be stunned. He felt that the matter might be a little serious, and asked angrily: "What's wrong with Fu'an? Why hasn't he come to see me yet?"
"The chief steward is dead!" the young eunuch said in horror.
"What?" Liu Chan immediately stood up from the throne and said angrily: "When did it happen and how did he die?"
While talking, Liu Chan had already walked to the door.
Although Fu'an is not young, his body is still strong and he will die sooner or later. How could he die at this juncture?
Before the young eunuch could answer, Liu Chan had actually left the Xuanshi Palace.
