The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Hua Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Su is thoughtful."

At this time, Zhang Zhirang also walked into the corridor holding an umbrella, stood behind Su Ye, and folded the umbrella: "Princess, the row of public toilets has been completed. I'll get the formula for firecrackers..."

Su Ye heard Zhang Zhirang's voice and turned around to tell him to stay away from the princess.

But when Zhang Zhirang saw Su Ye's wet chest, his face was full of doubts, and he spoke first:

"Mr. Su, how did you manage to keep your back dry while the rain only wets the front of you?"

Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Zhang Zhirang's eyes were filled with confusion: "This is unreasonable..."

Lin Wanwan's eyes flickered: "Next time, when you let Ah Si splash water on you, remember to wet your back as well."

After hearing this, Hua Yu and Zhang Zhirang suddenly understood.

Hua Yu felt that it was almost time to boil the medicine, so he stood up and said, "Princess, I will go back and boil the medicine first."

Lin Wanwan nodded.

Su Ye watched Hua Yu leave and was about to speak.

Zhang Zhirang, who was standing by, bowed and said, "Princess, the recipe for the firecrackers..."

Su Ye looked at Lin Wanwan with extremely serious eyes, as if she had forgotten the shortbread he had given her.

She said to Zhang Zhirang calmly, "Saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal."

Don't worry, collect some nitrate soil first and extract potassium nitrate."

Zhang Zhirang looked troubled: "This potassium nitrate..."

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly: "That row of toilets has been used for a long time, and the ground or corners that are not easily washed by rainwater will produce nitrate soil, which is easy to identify.

It is moist and difficult to dry. It turns slightly purple-red after being exposed to the sun. Add water, stir, filter, and add wood ash to make potassium nitrate solution.

Then evaporate the solution and cool it down to get crystals, which are potassium nitrate crystals. "

Zhang Zhirang nodded frequently, taking note of every detail in his mind: "Princess, what is this potassium nitrate crystal used for?"

Lin Wanwan said: "Potassium nitrate is purer than saltpeter and can be used to make better firecrackers."

Su Ye stood quietly aside, his eyes fixed on the princess and Zhang Zhirang.

Zhang Zhirang's eyes sparkled with excitement, and the princess talked to him. Their voices floated gently in the breeze, but Su Ye could not get a word in.

Zhang Zhirang unconsciously leaned forward slightly, listening attentively, nodding in response from time to time, his face full of devotion and appreciation, his eyes full of deep admiration:

"Yes, Princess! I will try to extract potassium nitrate crystals first."

Su Ye pursed his lips, frowned unconsciously, and an indescribable sense of loss surged in his heart.

He suddenly remembered the princess's attitude yesterday, and between him and Zhang Zhirang, he chose Zhang Zhirang.

Now it seems that the princess was not joking.

Su Ye pretended to be strong and left the East Courtyard in a depressed mood.

The rain outside was getting heavier.

Ye Sisi was wearing gorgeous brocade clothes, her brows were furrowed, and she came back in a hurry from outside.

Her maid Zilan followed closely behind her, holding the rouge and powder she had just bought in her hands.

As soon as she entered the Princess's Mansion, Ye Sisi suddenly bumped into a figure. She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a plop.

"Second Miss." Zi Lan hurried forward to support her, and the things in her hands fell to the ground.

Ye Sisi was supported by Zi Lan to stand up. She looked carefully and saw that the person standing in front of her was Su Ye. "That Lin Wanwan is out there flirting with men again. She is so shameless! Only you like to hang around her every day."

Su Ye was already in a bad mood, and he became even more furious after hearing what Ye Sisi said.

Ye Sisi didn't notice his emotions and continued to curse him, her words were extremely vulgar: "She is just called Princess An Ning. If she was a stinky beggar, would you still be around her?"

When Su Ye heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

He was furious: "Ye Sisi, you are playing with fire."

Ye Sisi was stunned at first, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. Was she wrong? Was Su Ye interested in her?

She looked at Su Ye again and saw that he had a handsome face and a pair of peach blossom eyes. Even in his rage, he was still handsome and compelling.

At this moment, Su Ye took off his clothes forcefully and threw them on the ground.

Ah Si, who was standing by, hurried forward to take the clothes. At this time, Su Ye was only wearing a white inner garment.

Ye Sisi turned her head away quickly, her face flushed: "What do you want to do?"

Su Ye said: "This young master needs to relieve his heat."

"You..." Ye Sisi didn't dare to look at him again.

However, Su Ye's next words made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

"The princess is a flower, and flowers naturally attract bees and butterflies. But you, Ye Sisi, are nothing but a piece of shit in my eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi turned her head back to look at him, glaring at him: "Su Ye! You..."

Su Ye's voice was icy cold, without a trace of warmth. He rubbed his hands towards Ye Sisi and said, "If I don't want to be a butterfly around flowers, will I be a buzzing green-headed fly around a pile of shit like you?"

Ye Sisi's face turned pale instantly, and she was so angry that she trembled all over: "Then why did you take off your clothes?"

"You are the only one who can continue to wear clothes stained with shit." Su Ye said mercilessly, "Ah Si, throw it away quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Si hurriedly threw his clothes out.

"You!" Ye Sisi was about to speak when she was interrupted by Su Ye.

"Also, the county lord is a beggar and has long been Madam Su. Why would this young master need to..."

Halfway through his speech, Su Ye paused, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

"Su Ye..." Seeing that he stopped talking, Ye Sisi put her hands on her hips and walked forward.

Su Ye squinted at her and said, "Look at your slutty face. I don't know why the prince likes you."

After that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, Ah Si."

Ye Sisi stood there, tears welling up in her eyes. She bit her lip, she really couldn't scold him!

……

A group of noisy gamblers gathered around the lottery venue in a remote casino in Kyoto City.

Their eyes followed Liu Yiruo closely in the center of the venue.

Liu Yiruo was beaten black and blue. As he drew lots again and again, the spectators in the crowd burst into exclamations from time to time.

"Look at Liu Yiruo, his luck is so good, he always gets good results when he draws lots, his luck is unmatched."

"Yeah, yeah, these consecutive good lots, what else could it be but incredible luck?" A pockmarked gambler nearby echoed, his eyes filled with envy.

"I think this luck is too good to be true. It's like God's help." A middle-aged gambler in a half-worn gown touched his chin and murmured thoughtfully.

The casino owner snorted coldly and stood in a corner, with a barely perceptible cunning flash in his eyes.

He was dressed gorgeously, playing with a pair of jade balls in his hands, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: of course he had to obey the orders of Qin Jun, the commander of the guards of the Ministry of Justice.

In the end, Liu Yiruo won the bet with his amazing skill in drawing lots and pocketed a full hundred gold coins.

After Liu Yiruo got the 100 gold, he stopped drawing lots, put the 100 gold into his bag, and left the casino openly.

……

A path outside Kyoto.

Liu Yiruo had the tips from everyone in the past few days, as well as the hundred gold he had just won in the casino during the day. He was really scared after being beaten last night, and he just wanted to take the money and set off on the journey back to his hometown.

As long as he returns to his hometown, all these gold, silver and treasures will be enough for him to enjoy a life of luxury!

This road is usually fine, but today it was so quiet that it made him feel a little uneasy.

The only sounds following him were his own footsteps and the occasional chirping of birds.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the woods on both sides of the road. Liu Yiruo's heart tightened and he couldn't help but slow down his pace, looking around vigilantly.

Before he could see clearly, a group of dark shadows rushed out from the woods and surrounded him in an instant.

These robbers were all masked and held shining swords, which flashed coldly in the moonlight.

"Hand over the money and I'll spare your life!" the leading robber said viciously, his voice hoarse and fierce.

Liu Yiruo turned pale with fear, tightly guarding the purse in his arms, and said tremblingly:

"My dear friends, this is my life-saving money, please let me go."

The robbers would not listen to his pleas. One of them stepped forward and reached out to snatch the purse.

Liu Yiruo was unwilling to watch them rob the money. He fought desperately and struggled with the robbers.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

The other robber shouted angrily, raised the knife in his hand, and slashed at Liu Yiruo.

Liu Yiruo was unable to dodge, and the sharp blade scratched his arm, causing blood to spurt out immediately.

"Ah!" He screamed, the pain making his body shake.

Seeing this, the robber became even more unscrupulous and stabbed him straight into the chest with a knife.

"Ah!" Liu Yiruo uttered a final cry.

His eyes widened, the light in them quickly dissipated, his body slowly fell down, and his blood dyed the ground beneath him red.

The robbers took all the money he had and left.

Only Liu Yiruo's body was left lying alone on the path, looking particularly desolate.

……

That night, in the quaint and quiet study of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Qin Jun walked into the study with steady steps, his face solemn, a heavy bag of silver tightly clenched in his hand.

Ouyang Qingyu was sitting behind the desk, holding a scroll in his hand, but his eyes looked up the moment Qin Jun stepped into the room.

Qin Jun walked to the desk and placed the bag of silver on the table with a slight "dong" sound.

Ouyang Qingyu put down the scroll in his hand, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, looked at the bag of silver, and asked lightly:

"Where's Liu Yiruo?"

Qin Jun said: "Dead."

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes were deep: "Tomorrow, you will bring a team of people with me to the Princess's residence to capture the murderer who murdered the heir to the throne."

Qin Jun was shocked when he heard this, "Does your Excellency know who did this?"

Ouyang Qingyu did not answer. Qin Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "What about these gold and silver?"

Ouyang Qingyu raised his lips and said, "Tomorrow, you bring the silver with you and I will deliver it to Princess An Ning's treasury."

Qin Jun replied "yes", picked up the silver and walked out.

Ouyang Qingyu picked up the bamboo slips and continued reading.
