Jian Qingqing did not know that the situation would be so serious. She did not think too much before and only wanted to save Lin Zhiqing. In her opinion, as long as she did not say anything, even Ming Zhiyan would not say anything, Lin Zhiqing would not say anything either. This matter would not be known by anyone else.

Now Ming Zhiyan had pointed it out, she finally realized that she was afraid. There was no wall in the world that could not be exposed. If one day she was discovered, she would not be able to escape the crime of deceiving the Emperor. The feudal society was the Emperor’s word, no matter how great the credit was, as long as the Emperor was displeased with you, you will die.

It was because she did not pay enough attention to the position of the feudal ruler in this era. If something happened, it would really implicate her family and friends.

Ming Zhiyan did not expect her to be so frightened. He quickly comforted her, “It’s okay. His Majesty is not that kind of person. No one else will know about this matter.”

Jian Qingqing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and forced a smile. “Thank you. Otherwise, I really don’t know what else I can do if I implicate others.”

Ming Zhiyan replied with an ‘okay’. He felt a little guilty. This matter was actually not that big. He should not have scared her. In order to divert her attention, he handed the envelope to her again and said, “Open it and see.”

Jian Qingqing rubbed her hands by her side and received it solemnly.

“How should I open it? Just open it directly?”

Ming Zhiyan raised his eyebrows. “How else do you want to open it?”

Jian Qingqing, “…”

She felt that her question was silly.

After this interruption, the fear in her heart dissipated a lot. She carefully tore the seal off. This was a letter personally written by the Emperor. If she could keep it forever, it would become a family heirloom.

After the envelope was opened, there was a thin piece of paper inside. It was the same as what she had seen at Ming Zhiyan’s inkstone.

Jian Qingqing read it carefully. Although there were only a few lines, she read it for a long time.

The letter expressed her admiration for her, her gratitude for discovering high-yield grain and inventing the fine salt method, and her contribution to Great Wei. Of course, the Emperor would not openly express his gratitude. This was what she realized.

She was still very excited to receive the thank-you letter from a big shot at the top of the country’s pyramid. She read the letter again and again, not knowing if there was any good way to preserve this letter. This way, it could be passed down to her descendants as a family heirloom.

Ming Zhiyan looked at her bright smile and understood the excitement and happiness in her heart. He also smiled and said, “Alright, put it away first. There will be plenty of time to read it later.”

Jian Qingging folded it carefully and carefully put it back into the envelope. It was exactly the same as before.

After she put it away, Ming Zhiyan took out another envelope. This envelope was much thicker than the previous one. It was bulging.

Jian Qingqing looked at it in surprise and said in disbelief, “This, could it be…”

Ming Zhiyan smiled and nodded, confirming her thoughts. “That’s right, open it and take a look.”

Jian Qingqing immediately took it and impatiently opened it. She skimmed through the contents of the letter.

That’s right, this letter was the paper recipe of this era. She had only said that last time, but she did not expect Ming Zhiyan to really find it for her. She guessed that Ming Zhiyan’s identity must not be simple, it was impossible for him to get the recipe without the Emperor’s consent. Ordinary ministers would not dare to make such a bold request for her and the Emperor.
