The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 131 Poisoning (2)

Every time Yang Qi comes to Guangming Hall, he will buy a few sesame cakes. This has become a fixed habit of Yang Qi.

He's mother and Song Hao also knew about this.

Holding the sesame seed buns she bought, Yang Qi ate them with relish. The grandfather who ran the sesame seed bun stall had been in Caoshi for many years and his craftsmanship was very good, otherwise the line wouldn't be so long every time.

The Guangming Hall today is different from the original Guangming Pharmacy. Yang Qi bought a shop next door and after connecting it to the other shop, it is used as a place for doctors to examine and treat patients.

Guangming Hall is very strict in selecting people. The two clerks in the clinic now are two children who came out of the orphanage. They are very loyal to Yang Qi.

Seeing Yang Qi enter the house, the waiter put down the broom in his hand and said, "Miss, you are here."

Yang Qi looked at the spotless Guangming Hall and nodded with a smile: "Have some sesame cakes. I bought a lot."

The waiter had just finished cleaning and his hands were a little dirty. He raised his hand to signal but did not answer the phone: "My hands are dirty. I'll go wash them before answering. By the way, Miss, Doctor Li is seeing a patient."

Doctor Li's medical skills were certified by Zong Yue, and Yang Qi had also sent people to carefully examine his character. Since he had chosen Doctor Li, Yang Qi would not doubt him.

After entering the courtyard, Yang Qi went straight to his own room. Since there were more people in Guangming Hall, Zong Yue arranged a separate room for Yang Qi.

The outside of the house looks ordinary, but there is a secret room inside that is used to store confidential items and documents.

After taking the account book for the past few days from the clerk, Yang Qi unlocked the door and entered his room.

Mother He followed and placed a pot of tea on the table before leaving. Yang Qi would stay in the room for quite a while every time, so the tea had to be prepared.

After entering the house, Yang Qi took two cups and poured one for himself and one for the cup next to him.

On the other side, after Yang Qi bought a sesame cake, the old man in the sesame cake shop put the small box for collecting change on the far right side of the shop.

A man queuing at the back quietly left the team and disappeared to one side of Caoshi.

Peilin received the news from his subordinates and sent it to the palace. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in the East Palace, but went to the Queen's place.

This was the first time Miss Yang Qi had sent a message that she wanted to meet the Crown Prince in person immediately. This unusual situation made Peilin a little uneasy.

Peilin immediately arranged another team to go to Guangming Hall to check the situation. If there was anything unusual, they could take the lead in protecting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yuan Ruiyuan frowned when he heard the news from Yang Qi. It was such a big deal, but this girl didn't even trust the people around her.

Putting the book down, Yuan Ruiyuan immediately said to his mother: "Mother, I have some urgent matters to deal with now, so I will take my leave first. If I have time next time, I will come to visit you again."

The Queen Mother felt distressed when she saw the dark circles under Yuan Ruiyuan's eyes. She thought she could have a rest today, but in the end she just sat for a while and then left.

Now the fifth brother is under great pressure in the court, and his brother is also struggling in Xihu. Not only does he have to worry about the attacks of the Western Barbarians, but he also has to keep an eye out for the hidden arrows shot by the court Nian family. The Queen stood at the door of the main house, watching Yuan Ruiyuan's back as he walked away, feeling a little worried. Now it's really a storm that's about to come, which makes people worried.

Aunt Rong Pei looked at the worried look in the Empress's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince actually agreed to go to the flower-viewing banquet a few days ago. I wonder if he has a girl in mind?"

When mentioning Yuan Ruiyuan's marriage, the Queen's spirit returned: "I think this child must have some thoughts in his mind."

Aunt Rong Pei had been observing the Queen's mood and nodded slightly: "What kind of state of mind is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? From childhood to adulthood, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to do something or doesn't want to see someone, who can persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The Queen nodded and went back to the house: "Yes, although I said that day that if this child doesn't go, I will tie him up, but as long as this child doesn't want to go, no matter what I say, he won't go."

Aunt Rongpei successfully changed the subject, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the palace, Yuan Ruiyuan and the people beside him confirmed: "That girl didn't say anything?"

The guard beside him nodded: "Yes, the news from the leader is that the third lady is waiting for you in Guangming Hall now, it's urgent."

Yuan Ruiyuan had a bad feeling in his heart. Although he didn't show it on his face, the temperature and air pressure in the carriage were getting lower and lower.

The guards standing by only hoped that their presence could be lower and lower.

When he saw Yuan Ruiyuan appear in the room, Yang Qi pointed to the teacup on the side and said, "Your Highness, your tea is ready."

Yuan Ruiyuan sat aside, drank a sip of water, and said with the cup in hand: "Tell me, what urgent matter do you want to tell me?"

Yang Qi took a deep breath and said with determination: "The Duke of England has been poisoned."

The cup in Yuan Ruiyuan's hand broke into pieces. "What did you say?"

Yang Qi took out a medical kit from the side and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, as you know, I sent the doctor to serve the Duke of England. Zong Yue was originally my grandfather's most respected disciple. Among all my grandfather's disciples, only Zong Yue received the true teachings of my grandfather. Seven years ago, Mother He, who was by my side, met Zong Yue again on the road, who was being targeted everywhere. After I learned the truth, I helped him, and since then, Zong Yue has been working in Guangming Hall."

Yang Qi pried Yuan Ruiyuan's hand apart and carefully picked up the residue in his hand: "You know what happened next. This morning, I received a letter from Zong Yue, saying that the poison in the British Council was very advanced, and even daily pulse checks showed no abnormalities, but the British Council was unconsciously addicted to sleep and even demented. This poison must be taken for a long time and in short doses to kill people invisibly in advance."

Wiping away the blood that was about to drip, Yang Qi continued, "Zong Yue discovered this, but did not tell Duke Ying. He dealt with it privately. Your Highness, I have confidence in Zong Yue. Moreover, Zong Yue has a good antidote. This time, General Duke Ying will surely be safe."

Sighing, Yang Qi said, "It's just that something like this happened in the Marshal's Mansion. It must be that something went wrong with the person who was closest to him. If we tell Duke Ying directly, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy. Now Zong Yue has moved into the Marshal's Mansion and serves Duke Ying all the time."

Yang Qi chose to tell Yuan Ruiyuan the truth, which was a risk. However, if this situation could be resolved, his weight around the Crown Prince would be even greater.
