Now I really have to marry the princess.

Chapter 67 Old He, it's not that I'm being unfair.

After leaving Lizheng Hall, the eunuch who led Yang Zhengdao back to Wude Hall was still Chen Xin.

Just as Chen Xin stepped out of the Xianyuan Gate of the East Palace, he suddenly stopped and bowed deeply to Yang Zhengdao.

"Chen Xin, thank you for your guidance, Young Master Yang."

For this cement deal, Yang Zhengdao did not intend to reveal all the technology and plans.

Therefore, in Lizheng Hall, Yang Zhengdao only suggested that Li Chengqian consolidate the lime kilns controlled by the Donggong Family Temple and then lease them to Tun Qiaoqiao in a contracting manner.

Both lime kilns and cement kilns are vertical kilns, and their core principles are similar.

These lime kilns can be modified to become new cement kilns, which is much cheaper, faster, and easier than building new kilns.

The system provides detailed explanations and processes for the modification methods in the traditional cement firing process.

The transfer of Chen Xin away from the Eastern Palace was merely a casual remark by Yang Zhengdao. The young eunuch who brought him here was meticulous and suitable to oversee the matter.

Thus, Chen Xin was assigned to manage the lime kiln in the Eastern Palace.

For Chen Xin, who had just entered the Eastern Palace, this assignment was a tremendous opportunity, and he was naturally extremely grateful to Yang Zhengdao.

Yang Zhengdao coughed lightly and smiled, "Eunuch Chen, you flatter me. We are all serving the Crown Prince. We will need to support and encourage each other in the future."

Chen Xin smiled and then said pitifully, "The Prefect Fang instructed me to obey Young Master Yang in everything, but I really don't understand the duties of this supervisor. Please teach me, Young Master."

No... no, I don't like that kind of thing! Don't try to coax me.

Yang Zhengdao suddenly felt a headache coming on. The sudden idea that had come to him in the Lizheng Hall had actually caused him this trouble.

After thinking about it, he decided to get rid of Chen Xin, this troublesome guy, as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if she starts acting coy every three sentences and flirtatious every five, who could stand it?

"Eunuch Chen, go to the East Market and find Lady Tun of the Furnace House. Learn some business planning from her. I will draft a plan for you regarding the consolidation of the lime kilns."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin bowed deeply again, and when she stood up, her eyes were already red: "My lord's great kindness is something Chen Xin can never repay, except in the next life..."

"Stop!" Yang Zhengdao hurriedly interrupted Chen Xin's heartfelt outpouring, fearing that she might say something like offering herself in marriage.

That's terrifying! I'm afraid Ah-Zhi will misunderstand!

But seeing Chen Xin's timid and hesitant demeanor, Yang Zhengdao couldn't bear to be too harsh.

He paused, then said gently, "Let's go quickly; I need to get back soon to continue practicing archery!"

Chen Xin nodded in agreement and continued to lead the way.

From then on, Yang Zhengdao only dared to stare at his toes the whole way.

Some say that every man has a mountain in his heart.

Therefore, the mindset of preventing a bend is more important than preventing a river; before Chen Xin becomes a pitch-black giant, we must be extremely cautious.

Upon arriving at the Wude Hall, Chen Xin bowed deeply to Yang Zhengdao as he took his leave.

Yang Zhengdao felt unworthy of the honor.

In a sense, Chen Xin is also a pitiful person.

After all, this physical appearance and alluring demeanor are gifts from his parents, not something Chen Xin could decide on his own.

Perhaps it was precisely because of his physical appearance and alluring charm that he was compelled to use his looks to please others.

If you can eat standing up, who would want to kneel down and sell their ass?

Watching Chen Xin's slender figure turn and walk away, Yang Zhengdao couldn't help but call out to him.

"Chen Xin, a man should be self-reliant! Don't bow so excessively to people in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin was first taken aback, and then her nose tingled with emotion.

He had been bullied since childhood because of his appearance, and now he was disabled and entered the palace, but Yang Langjun still treated him as a man, how could he not be moved.

He was about to perform another grand salute, but abruptly stopped himself, instead cupping his hands in a respectful gesture. Fighting back tears, he uttered only a heavy "Yes!"

In the afternoon, after completing his 500 archery practice sessions for the day, Yang Zhengdao's archery skills had indeed reached 2/10 of the required level.

After finishing his martial arts training, he went straight back to Xingdaofang, firstly because he was worried about whether Xi Youniang's condition would relapse, and secondly because he wanted to inquire about the progress of Ah Zhong's horseshoes.

When he returned to the mansion, he unexpectedly ran into He Fengyu, who had come to give Xi Youniang a follow-up examination.

Yang Zhengdao hurriedly greeted him, saying, "I am deeply grateful for Imperial Attendant He's personal visit."

He Guanzhong waved his hand: "Young Master Yang, you flatter me. This is a matter of testing medicine and verifying its efficacy. I dare not accept your thanks."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two went into the inner room together.

Xi Junmai was standing guard by the bed. When he saw the two of them enter, he quickly got up and bowed.

Xi Youniang was able to get up and obediently followed Xi Jun to buy luggage.

Although her face was still somewhat pale, her eyes were much brighter than the day before. She swayed slightly as she bowed, but still stood firmly.

Seeing that Xi Youniang's complexion had returned to normal, He Guanzhong smiled and gestured for her to lie down so he could carefully examine her pulse.

After taking his pulse, Ho Koon-chung's eyes lit up with joy.

"Your pulse is normal, your qi and blood are gradually recovering, and the pathogenic factors of the lung abscess have receded by more than half. I will prescribe some more warming and nourishing formulas for the lungs, and I believe you will recover soon."

Upon hearing this, Xi Junmai's eyes instantly reddened, and he bowed deeply in gratitude: "Thank you for your miraculous healing skills, Your Highness! Thank you for saving my life!"

He Guanzhong nodded, then stroked his beard and exclaimed to Yang Zhengdao, "This medicine is remarkably effective; whether taken internally or applied externally, it can cure both carbuncles and boils. Young Master Yang's offering of this excellent prescription truly demonstrates his great benevolence towards the common people."

This is such an overstatement! Yang Zhengdao has a feeling that He Fengyu is up to something today.

He quickly bowed and said with a wry smile, "This medicine has three drawbacks: first, it clashes with certain constitutions; second, it is difficult to store for long periods; and third, its preparation is complicated, making it difficult to widely distribute to the people."

He Guanzhong laughed and said, "Young Master Yang has such a kind heart, and he is worthy of the favor shown to him by the Immortal Sun."

After saying that, he gestured for Yang Zhengdao to speak privately.

The two arrived under the eaves, and He Guanzhong lowered his voice to speak: "I've heard that Young Master Yang has a method for detecting poison through urination. Is this true?"

It turned out to be the case.

For Xi Youniang's follow-up examination, only one physician is needed.

It seems that He Fengyu came to the door in person on someone's behalf to gather information.

Yang Zhengdao chuckled lightly and countered, "Does the Imperial Censor believe this to be true?"

"this……"

"I know that He Fengyu is devoted to medicine and single-minded, but he should not be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

He Guanzhong's face stiffened for a moment, then he burst into laughter: "Absolutely, absolutely, I was too presumptuous, please forgive me, Young Master Yang."

"It's perfectly fine!" Yang Zhengdao waved his hand, then smiled mysteriously, "Two days later, I will tell He Fengyu about this secret method for testing poison, how about that?"

He Guanzhong chuckled dryly: "If it's convenient, I'd be more than happy to oblige."

After seeing Ho Kwan-chung off, Yang Zhengdao couldn't help but smile.

He Guanzhong's actions reminded him of the episode in Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Jiang Gan stole the book.

Old He, it's not that I'm being unfair.

If you're willing to help Lu Chengqing gather information, you probably wouldn't mind passing on a message for me, would you?

He turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ah Zhong! Ah Zhong! Come to the study with me."

There's nothing we can do; Ah Zhong is really getting old, and lately his hearing has even become a bit deaf.

The moon climbed above the willow branches, nearing its fullness.

With my date with Ah Zhi approaching, I need to find a legitimate reason to ask for leave.
