Li Mengyue handed over the tasks of mining coal and making honeycomb coal to her father and no longer asked about the specific matters.

Just ask her father occasionally to keep the general direction.

She also wanted to recruit some refugees from the county gate to dig rivers and build reservoirs.

However, before leaving the county town, she still had to find Xie Ruiyuan and hand over the coal mine detection equipment to him.

Although Xie Ruiyuan knew where there were coal mines, no matter how much coal mines there were, there was no such thing as too much.

After all, as more coal is mined, the price will be cheaper. Compared with coal and firewood, people will be more willing to use convenient and fast honeycomb coal.

Besides, coal slag is not useless, it can be used to pave roads.

Although it is not as good as a cement road, it is much better than a dirt road.

More than a month ago, Ji Jingyi had a new house built in the village, although Ji Jingyi deliberately instructed that the house should not be too big and should be low-key.

But no matter how low-key he was, Afeng believed that it was impossible for the prince of the Zhenguo Duke to live in the same house as the villagers. Besides, they were not short of money, so they didn't build much and at least had a small courtyard with three entrances.

With a yard like this, one could be considered a wealthy family not only in the town but also in the county.

But Afeng still felt that his son had been wronged. He never expected that when Xie Ruiyuan arrived, his words would be like a bolt from the blue, hitting Ji Jingyi on the head.

I originally chose Xingji Village to build a house because it was close to the water and had the advantage of being first in line. However, as soon as the house was built and I moved in, I was forced to leave.

In fact, he had to leave. It was impossible for Ji Jingyi to approach Li Mengyue recklessly in an attempt to win her heart without knowing that Li Mengyue was Xie Ruiyuan's woman.

He had no choice but to let go and gave the newly built house to Xie Ruiyuan.

A few days ago, Xie Ruiyuan and Li Mengyue fled from the county village and were assassinated by the eunuch Zhou Ying sent by Concubine Sheng. Xie Ruiyuan was poisoned and his life was hanging by a thread. Li Mengyue took out the antidote in time and detoxified Xie Ruiyuan.

It's just that this time the poison didn't take Xie Ruiyuan's life, but he was inevitably left with a weak body.

Qingxi brought Xie Ruiyuan to Banyue Villa, hoping that he could have a good rest there.

As a result, Xie Ruiyuan woke up and learned that the cold poison in his body had been cured. He did not show anything on his face, but his heart was like a raging wave.

He has been suffering from the cold poison for many years. Doctor Luo Shen said that the poison can only be cured if the person who poisoned him produces the antidote.

However, Doctor Luo Shen also had a guess, saying that the cold poison he was infected with was a rare poison in the world, and that the person who poisoned him probably didn't have an antidote.

He knew what this meant. It meant that the poison in his body could not be removed.

Later he met Li Mengyue, who wrote down a prescription for suppressing the cold poison. It was indeed useful at the beginning, but after he used his internal force, the prescription was no longer effective in suppressing the cold poison.

Fortunately, Li Mengyue asked Qingxi to bring him some water, which suppressed the cold poison.

In fact, he knew in his heart that after so many years, his body had been almost invaded by the cold poison. He didn't know when the poison would strike again and he would never wake up again.

So when he learned that Li Mengyue was pregnant, he felt surprised and happy, but also worried, but not angry.

At that time, he seemed to have forgotten who had ordered the woman who had provoked him to be torn into pieces. He only remembered that he had an heir, that he had become a father, and that he had a child in the last period of his life.

But when he thought that he would not live long, he became very conflicted about whether he should let Li Mengyue give birth to the child.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment, and he immediately rejected it.

How could he have such thoughts when he was blessed by God to have a child and the opportunity to be a father?

Not to mention that he wouldn't do that, he couldn't even think about it.
