At the beginning, I saved a little mute

The mining of the salt wells went smoothly and the money earned was sufficient.

So much that Xie Chengjing had enough money to arm himself privately.

From this, he also gave Jiang Zao 10%.

Jiang Zao was very surprised when he learned about this.

"Third Prince, why do you give me 10%? It's too much. I can't afford it."

Xie Chengjing felt a burning pain in his heart when he saw how respectful she was in front of him. It felt like he was being pricked by needles.

He didn't want to always communicate with her in this way, but Jiang Zao seemed to think that this was right.

He also knew that they should keep their distance.

However, Xie Chengjing touched the purse at his waist, which contained a handwritten letter from Jiang Zao.

Every time Jiang Zao communicated with him, he would put away the old one and put the new one in his pocket.

No one has ever known this secret.

There was a bloodshot under his eyes, but Jiang Zao, who lowered his head, naturally didn't see it.

The jealousy in Xie Chengjing's heart grew like weeds, but he always fell to the ground when he saw Jiang Zao's gentle side.

He was in agony, and his clenched fingers showed it all.

But his face remained calm and as if nothing had happened.

"You...you two have done things for me, so you deserve some rewards."

Jiang Zao smiled slightly.

It sounds like it makes sense.

All the plans she worked hard to write late into the night, and even the mining plans she designed before the salt well development, were dedicated to Xie Chengjing.

So, this is a reward?

"It's only 10%. If I give you more, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."

Xie Chengjing said again, no one knew how anxious he was.

Since returning to the capital and learning about the salt well, a bolder plan came to his mind.

It wasn't enough to send his own confidants, so he also found an excuse to come.

In his heart, he kept hypnotizing himself with words. He did this for the salt wells, for future plans, and for the day when he could ascend the throne.

But it is undeniable that in the deepest corner of his heart, there is a small voice hidden.

[You just want to meet Jiang Zao. ]

Having said that, Jiang Zao wanted to refuse again, which would offend Xie Chengjing.

Since she has boarded the Third Prince's ship, she deserves some rewards.

This money is quite substantial.

It's more than enough for anything.

Jiang Zao knocked on the table and thought, how to maximize its value?

Xie Chengjing will stay on the southern line for a few days.

Que Yunsheng and Li Qingfeng accompanied them.

As for Lu Shi, Xie Chengjing still looked down on him.

So much so that he could only run errands.

Yuzhu didn't follow, and Jiang Zao felt a little strange.

Logically speaking, she was Xie Chengjing's maid and should have followed him.

but.

I overheard this incident during a conversation.

Shizhu, who happened to come back to get something, heard it.

He hesitated.

Jiang Zao was surprised, "Brother Shi, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"

Shizhu even lent her two taels of silver back then.

Jiang Zao remembered his feelings.

After sending everyone away, Shizhu looked anxious.

He bowed deeply to Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao was startled and quickly dodged.

"What is Brother Shi doing?"

Shizhu is Xie Chengjing's number one servant, why should he show such courtesy to her?

Shi Zhu said on the spot, "Miss Jiang is not an outsider, so I will tell you the truth."

"My young master had a fight with Concubine Shun some time ago. In order to confuse the Concubine, he was forced to eat the poison given by the Concubine."

"This poison takes effect every half a month, and the queen will wait until the young master survives before giving him the antidote. This is not a long-term solution, and it will cause great damage to the young master's health."

"I know that Miss Jiang's family has opened a Mo's Research Institute, and they have researched some strange things. I beg Miss Jiang to find a permanent antidote to help the young master."

Jiang Zao's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Staring at Shizhu in disbelief, "Is your young master stupid? He even eats poison?"

Shi Zhu said helplessly, "The young master was also forced."

Bow again.

"Miss Jiang, please help my young master. I will repay you even if Shizhu is crushed to pieces."

"I won't die in pieces. I will keep this matter in mind, Third Prince. I will inform him as soon as I have any news."

"Thank you."

However, by the time Xie Chengjing returned to the capital, Jiang had not found the antidote.

Not long after, Xie Chengjing sent a special letter, which was three pages long.

There is only one main idea: there is no need to waste her time, he will find a way himself.

This letter further strengthened Jiang Zao's decision.

The research institute is not just for show.
