Sister, look at him!

Valley of Miracle Doctors.

He Rumen has been wandering around the world with the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley since she left the palace. She only returned to the Divine Doctor Valley after she found out she was pregnant.

It just so happened that her great-grandfather was also recuperating in the Valley of Divine Doctors, so she would go to see her old grandfather He from time to time.

One was recuperating from an injury while the other was taking care of the baby, and they were living a leisurely and comfortable life.

Today, the two were playing chess when Nanny Chun, with a haggard face, asked to see them.

"Auntie Chun? Aren't you taking care of Wanwan?" He Ruman was a little surprised, and then she became a little more worried, "But what happened to Wanwan?"

"Young Madam, Old Master He." Nanny Chun organized her words, "I accidentally learned that Prime Minister He wants to get rid of Empress Dowager Zhaoyuan."

The cup that Old Master He had just picked up fell down with a "bang", and the scalding hot tea splashed all over him. However, he seemed not to notice it and shouted sternly, "Do you know what you are saying?!"

Even He Rumen was stunned. She tried several times to pick up the teacup and take a sip to calm herself down, but her trembling hands prevented her from lifting the cup.

"Auntie Chun, when you say this..." There was even a hint of tears in her voice.

"Everything I said is true." Nanny Chun knelt down. "If you don't believe me, you can write a letter home and ask Prime Minister He."

"..." He Rumen looked at Nanny Chun for a while, took a deep breath, and began to write a letter to He Xiyu.

She didn't dare write to her father, for she was afraid that if the story was true, her father would think that she had already told Wanwan and would immediately get rid of Wanwan.

Then I can only write to my brother.

Old Master He fell silent after Nanny Chun knelt down. It only took him a few breaths to accept and believe this matter.

He taught his grandson so well, and taught him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

So even if the person who might bring disaster to the court was his daughter, he could still be ruthless enough to get rid of her.

……

The first letter that He Qingwan sent back to the capital was to Jing Zhan. She told Jing Zhan that she had discovered a strange kind of soil. After mixing with water and mud, this soil would become a thick substance. It only needed to be dried in the sun for a few days before it would become extremely hard.

She named the substance cement.

After Jing Zhan received the news, he immediately started experiments. After finding that it was indeed as He Qingwan said, he immediately promoted it in Dazhao and specifically stated that it was discovered by Empress Dowager Zhaoyuan.

He Qingwan's reputation among the people has grown significantly.

But this is far from enough.

Soon, glass, explosives and other objects were discovered by He Qingwan, and Jing Zhan put them into production without any doubt.

He Qingwan's reputation among the people continued to rise.

After the production is finished, it's time to eat.

He Qingwan purchased a large amount of grain seeds and locked himself in a small courtyard, under the pretext of studying grain in order to increase the yield per mu.

Grandpa He felt sorry for her and naturally would not go against her, so He Qingwan let go and started researching.

It happens to be June, a month with plenty of sunlight, which makes research much more convenient.

At the same time, He Rumen in the Valley of Divine Doctors also received a reply from He Xiyu.

Seeing He Xiyu's non-denial in the letter, He Rumen felt like the sky was falling.

"How could father..." He Rumen's tears fell down.

"Man'er, your health is very important." Old Master He frowned and looked at He Ruman. "You are now more than three months pregnant, you can't be too sad or too happy."

"But Wanwan..." He Rumen covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed and shed tears secretly.

"I'll go back to Beijing now and see what your father wants to do!" Old Master He's voice was like a bell, his eyes were bright, and he released the terrifying aura that he had suppressed for a long time.

He Qingwan knew exactly what Old Master He and He Rumen had done, and she neither stopped them nor tried to persuade them.

After rushing a batch of newly researched grain varieties and her newly planned Grand Canal route to the capital, He Qingwan began to appreciate the scenery of Yangzhou.

It was the hottest time of July, so He Qingwan went to the Tong family's restaurant to eat some cooling food.

This was her first time going to Tong’s Restaurant.

The carriage pulled by a white lion passed through the wide street, and passers-by made way for it. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the veil was lifted, revealing a beautiful woman lying on the couch inside.

He did not bring Mu Yan with him on this trip. He only brought Linlang, a personal servant, and a Jinyiwei, who drove the car.

When they arrived at the restaurant, He Qingwan was helped out of the carriage by Linlang.

"Is there a private room?" The tall and strong Jinyiwei asked the woman in plain clothes standing behind the counter with a wooden face.

"Yes, please come this way, sir." Second Sister Tong hurriedly led the way.

Walking all the way to the backyard, you will see a gardenia tree that covers half of the yard. Under the tree there is a stone table and four stone benches.

Linlang considerately put several layers of cushions on the stone bench before helping He Qingwan sit down.

Smelling the fragrance of gardenias filling the yard, He Qingwan's heart calmed down a little.

"Please put up some of your signs." He Qingwan said casually.

As soon as He Qingwan arrived, Tong Xiaomei saw him. She didn't recognize He Qingwan, but she recognized the white lion, so she immediately recognized that He Qingwan was the person who bought all their fried chicken at the city gate.

He immediately ran to find Tong Leyao who was busy in the kitchen.

"Third sister, the nobleman at the city gate is here to eat!"

Tong Leyao's face changed. She had already heard from her eldest brother, so she naturally knew He Qingwan's true identity. "The noble's status is special, and you must not neglect it."

She didn't tell He Qingwan about his identity. She wasn't stupid. He Qingwan himself hadn't made it clear, so she shouldn't go forward and make a fool of herself.

Before leaving the kitchen, she also brought out the freshly made gardenia crisps.

From a distance, she saw a beautiful woman with delicate features sitting under a tree.

Even though she is used to seeing all kinds of beauties in modern times, she was still stunned.

"Miss He, this is the freshly made gardenia pastry, please enjoy." Tong Leyao placed the exquisitely presented gardenia pastry on the stone table.

"Gardenia crisps..." He Qingwan picked up a piece through the handkerchief and looked at it, as if she understood something. "It looks quite delicate."

She took a bite, and layer after layer of crispy crust bloomed from her mouth, with a slightly sweet taste accompanied by the fresh scent of gardenia.

"Not bad, there's a reward." He Qingwan ate the whole gardenia pastry gracefully.

When Linlang, who was waiting behind, heard this, she immediately took out a bag of golden melon seeds.

He Qingwan pinched a few of them out and gave them to Tong Leyao, "If the following dishes suit my taste, there will be a reward. If not, I will make sure that your restaurant can no longer operate."

He Qingwan's tone of voice remained unchanged and her expression was calm, as if she had just asked you what you had for dinner today.

Tong Leyao lowered her head and responded, pulling the pale-faced Tong Erjie back.

Half an hour later, Tong's restaurant closed.

Because He Qingwan took a fancy to Tong Leyao, he planned to bring her back to the capital to be his personal chef.

It was only then that Tong Leyao discovered that He Qingwan was actually the much-talked-about Empress Dowager Zhao Yuan.
