"Su Peisheng, you two get out of here. I have something to say to Princess Chang."

Su Peisheng left looking dazed, while Xiao Lan, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, went out smiling.

Only two people remained in the room, and Yinzhen's gaze towards Le Shu held a newfound scrutiny and sharpness.

"You're not Chang Leshu, so who are you?"

Le Shu was a little confused. Was he really going to be so direct? He could have at least been more tactful! But judging from his confident demeanor, Le Shu suspected that he wasn't the original either, and that the honeycomb briquettes must have been made by him.

She felt that it was highly likely he, like her, had traveled through time.

Le Shu continued to analyze, and finally asked in return, "You are not the Fourth Prince."

Yinzhen smiled, a rare sight indeed, but she had no time to appreciate it.

"why are you laughing?"

"I am the fourth prince of the Kangxi Emperor, without a doubt. You are very clever, but a clever person should understand what it means to be a wise man when he is in a good position. Now I will ask you one more time, who are you? You can choose not to answer me, or you can give me a perfunctory answer, but I think you should understand that if you want to live a good life, you can't do without me."

Le Shu frowned. This man's attitude was too certain. Could he really be the Fourth Prince? But how did he know about honeycomb briquettes?

"I can answer you, but you have to tell me how you know about honeycomb briquettes."

Yinzhen looked at Le Shu, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He had been reborn. In his previous life, he died on a desk. He was no longer attached to the throne, but he did not go to hell after his death. Instead, he wandered in the Forbidden City.

Then, seeing the foreigners open the Forbidden City, he was able to escape the Forbidden City, see the devastation of the Qing Dynasty, and then the Qing Dynasty perished in an extremely shameful way.

When he saw Le Shu yesterday, he was only slightly surprised that she was still alive. He didn't have many women, but his memory was still pretty good. He did know that the Empress Dowager had once bestowed upon him a concubine named Chang Gege, but he had never even met her before she died, before winter.

I came here today mainly because I thought she was a variable, and when I saw the honeycomb briquettes, I realized she really was a variable.

After weighing the options, Yinzhen decided to share the secret of the two of them, as it was a variable that could potentially hold a great deal of knowledge for future generations. The secret was rather absurd, and Yinzhen was not afraid that she would go out and spread rumors. As long as Le Shu wasn't stupid, she should know to keep it a secret.

"After my death, my spirit stayed in the Forbidden City. Seeing the foreigners burning, killing, and looting the people, I was so angry that I came back."

Le Shu was shocked. He really was the Fourth Prince, a combination of rebirth and time travel?

Since Yinzhen has spoken, Yue Shu naturally has to say something as well.

"I come from more than a hundred years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and I am an ordinary person who is relatively wealthy."

Yinzhen asked, "More than a hundred years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty! Can you tell me what the country was like then?"

Le Shu thought for a moment and replied, "At that time, the country stood up, everyone was like a dragon, the law stipulated that everyone was equal, the military also grew, people no longer went hungry, and they could keep warm. It became the world's second largest economy, and the population exceeded 140 million..."

Le Shu's tone was full of nostalgia. If she could, she would still want to go back, but she couldn't.

Yinzhen: "That's wonderful!"

He spoke these words with absolute sincerity.

Yinzhen was a very genuine person; his likes and dislikes were more intense than others'. Even if he were given a second chance, his personality would be difficult to completely change, though he would be much more composed and tolerant.

In his previous life, he devoted himself to reform and offended scholars. He did this partly for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, but also for the sake of the people.

He had the people in his heart, and he had a sense of right and wrong.

So when he learned that the country had pulled through, he felt much more at ease. He had been under a lot of pressure since his rebirth, and Le Shu's appearance had relieved his pressure to some extent.

Le Shu actually quite likes the historical figure of Emperor Yongzheng. He may not be perfect, but he is very real and vivid.

Now that the two of them have come clean, she still hasn't revealed her cheat ability! She has a cheat ability, but no spatial ability, so things can't be kept secret. She doesn't know if she'll sign in with strange and large things in the future.

If you keep it a secret, there's a high chance it will be discovered in the future.

She also had reservations about speaking out.

She needed to gamble, gamble that she would be useful to the reborn Emperor Yongzheng. She should be honest with him. If he really imprisoned her, she could always start over.

It's just death.

Having figured it out, Le Shu said, "There's something I need to tell you. I traveled to the Qing Dynasty with a sign-in system."

Yinzhen was stunned; the sign-in system was something he was completely unfamiliar with.

What is a sign-in system?

His intuition told him it must be something good.

"The things that exist in my mind are like your daily attendance at the government office. You get something for signing in every day. When I first transmigrated here, I was almost dead. If I hadn't signed in for a special medicine, I probably wouldn't have survived."

The specific recipe for honeycomb briquettes was obtained through daily check-ins. I also have this complete guide to handling wool and a complete guide to building kang (heated brick beds). Of course, most of the time, what I get from check-ins is silver; when I can't afford food, I can at least get some meals..."

Le Shu explained calmly, but she was actually quite anxious inside.

From a self-interested perspective, she was taking a huge gamble. If the Fourth Master in front of her were a native, she naturally wouldn't have revealed so much. But unfortunately, his situation was similar to hers.

She was gambling, gambling that he wouldn't give up the huge profits.

In fact, if Yinzhen was unwilling to help her, even with the sign-in system, it would be difficult for her to cause any major trouble; she wouldn't even be able to leave the house.

If she wins the bet, she will have more freedom in the future.

After hearing this, Yinzhen's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil. However, considering that he could be reborn and the person in front of him could travel through time, then the so-called sign-in system was not impossible.
