Hearing Emperor Yuan's words, which she didn't know whether they were true or a test, Jiang Yueyang blinked her watery almond eyes and tried to act sincere yet weak.

Her tone was gentle but a little strong, "Your Majesty, I came to discuss business with your Majesty with full sincerity.

If Your Majesty disregards your reputation and morality, I can do nothing but accept defeat.

But if I get any magical prescription in the future, I am afraid I will not think of Your Majesty again. "

Emperor Yuan laughed angrily, "Jiang Yueyang, you are so bold that you actually threaten me!"

"I am not threatening Your Majesty. I dare to speak so recklessly because I believe Your Majesty is not a petty thief."

Jiang Yueyang glanced at the expression on Emperor Yuan's face and continued, "Although I rarely left home before, I have heard a lot about your majesty.

Your Majesty is courageous and resourceful, has the world in mind, is open-minded and willing to listen to advice, is broad-minded, and is a gentleman with an open mind... He simply disdains to do such shameful things."

After all the flattery, Emperor Yuan's smile could hardly be suppressed, and if he had a tail it would have been raised up to the sky.

The third prince raised his lips slightly and looked sideways at Jiang Yueyang beside him. His little mouth was chattering, and he was really good at praising

The Queen chuckled, "Lord Xiao Jiang is almost catching up with me in understanding Your Majesty."

"No, no, I don't know Your Majesty as well as Your Majesty does." Jiang Yueyang waved her hand, "The reason why I know this is because Your Majesty's virtues are visible to the naked eye."

The third prince secretly gave her a thumbs up, saying, "What a great girl!" In less than a second, he praised her again.

The eldest princess looked at Jiang Yueyang. No wonder she was so likable. She really knew how to make people happy with her words without making people feel hypocritical.

Emperor Yuan clenched his fist and placed it on his lips. He coughed shyly, but his tone could not hide his smile. "You are smooth-talking."

"Every word I said came from my heart, and there is no falsehood."

The Emperor Yuan raised his lips and said, "Okay, I will choose the first cooperation method. Tell me, which department should be responsible for making ice from saltpeter?"

"Your Majesty, look, I didn't lie, did I?"

The Empress looked puzzled, and Emperor Yuan and the Third Prince and his sister were also confused.

Jiang Yueyang explained: "Your Majesty's choice of the first cooperation method is undoubtedly to give up your own interests. Doesn't this prove that your Majesty's character is visible? It also proves that every word I say is true."

Hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but smile, "Master Xiao Jiang is right."

"Jiang Yueyang, I really didn't realize you were so good at flattering." The third prince followed up with another sentence.

Finally, he looked at the eldest princess again and said, "Qingye, learn from them."

"Third brother, if I want to learn, you should learn even more. I don't know who it was, but he was stripped of his pants and spanked when he was only seven or eight years old."

"Qingye." The Third Prince immediately covered her mouth, "Stop talking."

The princess pulled his hand down and said, "I'll tell you what I'll tell you. Jiang Yueyang, let me tell you, not only was the third brother beaten... um..."

"If you say that again, I will tell Wen Jinnian all the embarrassing things that happened to you when you were a child!" The third prince covered the eldest princess' mouth again and threatened.

"Alright, alright, you two brothers and sisters, stop making trouble." The Queen tried to dissuade them.

Since both the brother and sister had something on the other, they stopped fighting.

Emperor Yuan: "Jiang Yueyang, you haven't answered my question yet."

Jiang Yueyang cupped his hands and said, "Regarding the matter of making ice from saltpeter, I think it would be most appropriate to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take charge, with the Ministry of Works assisting."

"Tell me more about it."

“The Engineering Department is responsible for all aspects of engineering construction and is more familiar with the management and use of various materials, so it can provide great help in ice making.

But the ice-making recipe is precious, and anyone who handles it must be trustworthy to ensure that the recipe will not be leaked.

I suggest setting up an ice-making department in the Ministry of Works, which will be managed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Majesty will select the talents, while the Ministry of Works will provide the preparation work that does not involve recipes.”

Emperor Yuan nodded slightly, "Well, this method is very good."

"Since the recipe for making ice with saltpeter is simple and takes a long time to freeze, I suggest making a batch of special ice-making tools to ensure that others cannot see the saltpeter raw materials in the water during the freezing process."

Emperor Yuan nodded again, "I remember you said before that saltpeter can be reused. How can it be reused?"

"When saltpeter is dissolved in water, it can be passed through..."

At this moment, on the other side, Zhou Yan, accompanied by Wen Sheng and others, went to the Qingping County Government Office, and the person who received them was Bai Ze.

Because this case involves one's true feelings, Bai Ze thought about it and decided to announce to the public that Zhou Yan did not want to be controlled by Li Hui anymore, so he killed him.

As for Zhou Yan's sister, it is said that Zhou Yan forced Li Hui to reveal her place of imprisonment before killing her, and Wensheng sent people to rescue her.

However, in order to prevent Jiang Yueyang from becoming suspicious, this statement will be announced a few days later.

But it is a fact that Zhou Yan killed someone, and he needs to take the corresponding responsibility.

Bai Ze spared his life, taking into account the persecution and threats he had suffered, and changed his sentence to fifteen years in prison.

Then, Zhou Yan was secretly imprisoned in the prison, and Li Hui's body was secretly transported back to the county government office.

Bai Ze looked at Zhou Yan, who had no intention of surviving in the prison, through the iron bars and asked, "Do you regret it?"

“No regrets.”

"The crime that Li Hui committed is enough to get him killed. There is absolutely no need for you to sacrifice yourself."

Zhou Yan slowly raised his eyelids. "She was hurt like that because of me. If I can't avenge her with my own hands, what's the point of me living? How can I face her in the future?"

Bai Ze sighed and looked at him deeply, "Are you sure that everything you are doing now is what she wants?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yan's eyes fluctuated.
