Chapter 293 Do you regret it?
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 yet a little forceful, "Your Majesty, I have come to discuss business with Your Majesty with full sincerity.
If Your Majesty disregards your reputation and morality, I have no choice but to accept defeat.
But if I ever find some miraculous recipe again in the future, I'm afraid I won't think of Your Majesty anymore."
Emperor Yuan laughed in anger, "Jiang Yueyang, you are so bold, 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, cares deeply about the world, humbly accepts advice, is open to all opinions, is broad-minded, and is a gentleman with an open mind... You simply would not bother to do such a shameful thing."
After all the flattery, Emperor Yuan's mouth corners could hardly be suppressed, and if he had a tail, it would have been raised 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 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, "Awesome!" In less than a second, he praised her again.
The eldest princess looked at Jiang Yueyang. No wonder she was so popular. She really knew how to make people happy with her words without making people feel hypocritical.
Emperor Yuan placed his fist to his lips and coughed shyly, his tone unable to conceal his smile, "Slippery tongue."
"Every word I said came from my heart, and there is no falsehood."
The Emperor's lips curled up. "Alright, I'll choose the first cooperation method. Now tell me, which department should be responsible for making ice from saltpeter?"
"Your Majesty, look, I didn't lie, did I?"
The Empress Dowager 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 method of cooperation undoubtedly means giving 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 flattery." 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 is, 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, "Just stop talking."
The eldest princess pulled his hand down and said, "I'm telling you, Jiang Yueyang, let me tell you, not only was Third Brother beaten... well..."
"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's mouth again and threatened.
"Alright, alright, you two brothers and sisters, stop making trouble." The Queen Mother spoke out to dissuade them.
The brother and sister both had something on each other, so 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 believe it would be most appropriate to leave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take charge, with the Ministry of Works providing assistance."
"Tell me more about it."
“The Ministry of Engineering is responsible for all aspects of engineering construction and is more familiar with the management and use of various materials, which can provide great assistance 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 within the Ministry of Works, which would be managed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your Majesty would select the talents, and the Ministry of Works would provide the preparation work that does not involve formulas."
Emperor Yuan nodded slightly, "Well, this method is very good."
"Given that the saltpeter ice recipe 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 saltpeter could be reused. How?"
"When saltpeter is dissolved in water, it can be used..."
At this moment, on the other side, Zhou Yan went to the Qingping County Government Office accompanied by Wen Sheng and others. The person who received them was Bai Ze.
Because this case involves the voice of the heart, 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 must bear the corresponding responsibility.
Bai Ze spared his life and changed his sentence to fifteen years in prison, considering that he had been persecuted and threatened.
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?"
"not regret."
"The crime Li Hui committed is enough to get him killed. There's 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 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.
After their eyes met for a moment, Bai Ze slowly turned and left.

Changle Street, in front of the Huaxia Grocery Store.
After being lectured by Minister Jiang for more than two quarters of an hour, Lu Yunting came here with Xu An and Li Yan.
Just as they were about to go in, Uncle Song San and Song Xihe also arrived.
"Lu Yunting?"
Lu Yunting looked over and saw that it was his sweetheart's aunt, so he politely bowed.
"Why are you here?"
"It should be the same as your purpose for coming here."
Uncle Song looked at Lu Yunting curiously, "Little sister, who is he? Could he be another young man from a certain family that you've taken a fancy to?
This look and temperament are much better than the previous ones. It’s a pity that you are interested in…”
"Third brother!" Song Xihe interrupted him hurriedly, "Don't talk nonsense! He is not."
As he spoke, Song Xihe leaned over and briefly introduced Lu Yunting to Uncle Song San.
After learning that Lu Yunting was the person his niece liked, Uncle Song immediately looked the man up and down.
Lu Yunting bowed to him, not knowing what to call him for a moment, so he could only remain silent.
"How old are you? Do you have any concubines or maids at home? Do you have any confidantes?"
"I am eighteen years old this year and still alone."
"Then you are really..."
"Alright." Song Xihe interrupted him again, "Yangyang will make his own judgment. Let's get down to business first."
As he spoke, Song Xihe pulled Uncle Song San towards the shop.
"I really like it."
