Yue Liuyun patted his shoulder, paced back and forth, shaking his head, and talked as he walked.

"Remember how to make fine salt from coarse salt?"

Qiu Shuangwan's eyes lit up: "Remember."

Yue Liuyun nodded approvingly and continued, "Do you remember how to make soap?"

Qiu Shuangwan said: "Remember!"

"Remember the chemical formula for gunpowder? Do you know what to do?"

Qiu Shuangwan said: "I know!"

"Do you still remember the basics of math, physics, chemistry, and biology?"

Qiu Shuangwan said: "Remember!"

He has been a good boy who studies hard since he was young, and he remembers these theoretical knowledge very clearly.

Yue Liuyun spread his hands, his eyes sparkling as he said, "That's it!"

She took a sip of water and smiled: "The Salt Administration is under the Ministry of Revenue, the Military Equipment Administration is under the Ministry of Industry, and commerce is also under the management of the Ministry of Revenue. I will arrange for you to be a consultant one day. By then, no one will dare to call you a witch who is harming the country!"

"When is the next day?" Qiu Shuangwan was very excited and couldn't wait.

Yue Liuyun said, "Don't worry. When General Qisha comes back, I'll have him accompany you."

Qiu Shuangwan's face darkened.

He held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "But, but...whenever I see him, I feel so embarrassed that I want to tap my toes on the ground."

Yue Liuyun sighed and said, "But now, I can't trust anyone except him. Even if he is not capable enough, he can still protect you."

She knew that Qiu Shuangwan was a straightforward person, not very good at acting or flattering others, and now only Xia Ruzhi would protect Qiu Shuangwan wholeheartedly.

Besides, even if there was an order from the emperor, the people from the Salt Official and the Arms Bureau would inevitably look down on a weak concubine, but if General Qi Sha was by her side, things would probably be much simpler.

Qiu Shuangwan asked quietly, "Aren't you afraid that Xia Ruzhi will cheat on you?"

Yue Liuyun: “…”

"Nangong Mingzhu is Nangong Mingzhu, but I am Yue Liuyun. This has nothing to do with me." She said as a matter of course.

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

thank you.

Yue Liuyun said to Qiu Shuangwan seriously, "Don't worry, Xia Ruozhi is a gentleman and won't do anything to you."

Qiu Shuangwan was helpless and said reluctantly: "...Okay."

Compared to being unable to do anything and being killed, being able to safely build one's own career is a better choice. He knows which is more important...

Yue Liuyun thought carefully for a moment, then looked at Qiu Shuangwan with a burning gaze and said with a smile, "Besides that, I also plan to add some math, physics, chemistry, and biology to the Imperial College's curriculum."

"I'll compile it into a book, and you'll explain it one by one according to the textbook. How about that?"

Qiu Shuangwan clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Be a teacher, of course!"

He then asked curiously, "How much of that do you remember? Is it enough to compile into a book?"

Yue Liuyun smiled mysteriously, appearing humble and gentle: "To be honest, I have a photographic memory."

"Hyperthymesia?!" Qiu Shuangwan almost dropped her jaw in shock, feeling both envious and amazed.

Yue Liuyun: "You think too much. I just have a better memory than most people."

"If you have such abilities, why don't you study liberal arts? You will definitely be able to defeat others in the fields of law, Chinese language, history, etc." Qiu Shuangwan stared at her with complicated eyes.

Yue Liuyun shrugged and said, "That's too unchallenging. I can treat them as hobbies."

Qiu Shuangwan: “…”

It turns out that this is the world of real academic masters.

Yue Liuyun continued with a smile, "I'm going to compile them into compulsory courses, such as Compulsory Course One and Compulsory Course Two, and many other compulsory courses. Doesn't that sound familiar?"

Qiu Shuangwan gave a thumbs-up. "It's more than just familiar. It's like dreaming back to that horrible life dominated by schoolwork."

"It's just that due to the current environment, there are many contents that cannot be directly transferred to books for people to accept," Yue Liuyun said, "Try to change the way you tell it to a way that people here can understand."

Qiu Shuang understood it late: "I understand!"

The two of them talked and planned clearly what they wanted to do as much as possible.

Qiu Shuangwan instantly felt like she had been injected with chicken blood and was full of motivation.

Yue Liuyun was sleepy. She hadn't slept all night last night, and tonight she just wanted to have a good rest.

She said goodbye to Qiu Shuangwan, moved to Qinghe Palace, lay on the dragon bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Nangong Mingzhu's soul seemed to be infected by her sleepiness and also closed his eyes to rest.

Under the bright moonlight, the grass and trees are lush, the air is quiet, and the full moon hangs quietly in the sky, cold and aloof.

Yue Liuyun's consciousness sank.

In a trance, she didn't know where she fell. The blurry scene gradually became clear, but it was like a dream.

The building is antique and has a spacious and bright interior. There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. The lecture hall is simply decorated but full of bookish atmosphere.

In the school, a group of cute little kids sat below, listening attentively to the teacher's instruction.

She saw a child sitting in the corner, silent and taciturn, with fair and delicate skin like mutton-fat jade, dark eyes, red lips and white teeth.

He is just like a smaller version of Nangong Mingzhu.

Sitting next to him was a boy who was a few years older. He had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, and looked very much like Shen Yue.

"In this school assessment, the first place is still His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the second is his companion Shen Yue, the third is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and the fourth..." The teacher touched his gray beard and said slowly.

After the teacher finished reading, he told all the students that they could leave.

Little Shen Yue looked at him and whispered, "Congratulations."

Xiao Nangong Mingzhu simply said "thank you" lightly, then packed up his books and writing materials and left without looking back.

"Humph, what are you so arrogant about? You're just a wild child without a mother."

"That's right, so what if he got first place? Now even my father doesn't bother to pay attention to him."

Little Shen Yue frowned and listened to what others were talking about. He didn't say anything, packed up his things and left.

Little Nangong Mingzhu walked hurriedly and expressionlessly to a cold and dilapidated palace.

The room was empty and deserted, with cobwebs in the corners and the furnishings simple and shabby. There was only a skinny white cat curled up in the quilt.

When the white cat saw him coming, it threw itself affectionately into his arms and whimpered.

He gave a sincere smile, stroked the white cat with his cold little hands, took out the book, and began to read with contentment.

After an unknown amount of time, a thin voice sounded from outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Nangong Mingzhu put down his book and white cat, opened the door with a smile on his face, and said, "Xiaogui, you're here?"

A young eunuch with a delicate face was waiting outside with a food box in his hand. He handed the food box to Xiao Nangong Mingzhu and smiled mysteriously, "Your Highness, there is a surprise in today's meal."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nangong Mingzhu opened the food box curiously, but found that unlike the cold and rotten food in the past, today's food was particularly rich, and even included meat dishes.

"Xiaogui, this..." He looked surprised.

Xiaogui made a silent gesture and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This is a gift from the eunuch in charge. Please eat it while it's hot."

"What about you?" he asked with concern.

Xiaogui said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I've already eaten."

"Thank you!" Little Nangong Mingzhu said with a touched look, "If you hadn't been taking care of me all this time, I would have starved to death long ago."

Xiaogui shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Your Highness saving me that day, I would have died long ago. This is what I should do. Your Highness, please stop talking and eat it while it's hot."

"Ok!"

Little Nangong Mingzhu came in with a food box and shared some food with the white cat. The man and the cat started eating at the same time.

Xiaogui was standing at the door.

However, after eating a few bites, little Nangong Mingzhu felt a cramping pain in his abdomen, his head became dizzy, he gasped for breath, and fainted from the pain.
