The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Seeing Xu's serious look, Yang Qi knew that he could not get away with it today, and said with a frustrated look: "I don't know who hit me with a stone on the road, and I fell to the ground."

Yang Qi patted his knees as he spoke: "Fortunately it is winter and I am wearing thick clothes, otherwise I would have hurt my legs today."

Then, Yang Qi tugged at Xu's clothes and said, "Aunt, you don't know, I was really scared when I fell today, and I was worried that I was hurt."

Xu pulled her clothes back from Yang Qi's hands: "Are you afraid too? Didn't I tell you that there are so many people here today, so you can only walk around nearby. If you really want to fetch water, you can take the maids and old women with you. Xin Che alone, even if she is smart, can't protect you."

Yang Qi raised his hand and blew it, deliberately exposing the wound on his hand, with a look of grievance and tears in his eyes: "Aunt, Yang Qi knows he was wrong, tear it, it hurts!"

Although Yang Qi's leg was not injured after being tripped by Nian Rongchuan's stone, his hand was still broken because it was pressed against the ground.

Seeing the red blood and broken skin on Yang Qi's hand, Xu's expression changed immediately: "Child, why didn't you tell me that you were hurt somewhere? Why didn't you treat it properly? Mother Fang, hurry up and bring the medicine box."

Seeing that his method worked, Yang Qi winked at Fang's mother and finally calmed Xu down.

Mother Fang brought over the medicine box with a smile. She knew that the Third Miss had her own way of dealing with the Madam. However, when she saw how the Third Miss resolved the Madam's anger step by step, Mother Fang was still shocked.

The tone in which the Third Miss spoke was truly heartbreaking to the listeners.

Mother Fang doesn't understand from the bottom of her heart why the Duke has never liked the Third Miss. When she was young, it could be explained that the Third Miss did not have as prominent a background as the Second Miss. But now that the Duke has returned home and they have been living together for a long time, why hasn't the Duke's impression of the Third Miss changed?

While treating Yang Qi's wound, Xu asked, "Do you know the person you met at Yikouquan today?"

Yang Qi shook his head: "I have never seen him before, but looking at the brocade he is wearing and his demeanor, if I am not mistaken, he should be from an aristocratic family."

Xu paused: "Could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" It can't be such a coincidence, that I have been talking about him all morning and then I see him in the afternoon?

To be honest, Xu was not happy about Yang Qi marrying into the palace. The situation in the palace was complicated. If she really married into the palace one day, Yang Qi would probably have to stay in that square room for the rest of her life. It would be very rare for her to even come to Lingshan Temple.

Yang Qi was a little helpless: "Aunt, I had the honor of meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, but the one I met today was not him." What's wrong with this aunt recently? Instead of worrying about her eldest brother's marriage, why is she making fun of herself every day?

It is better for me to let my friend die than for myself. In this situation, Yang Qi doesn't mind throwing his elder brother out to ward off disaster.

Yang Qi moved his other hand: "Besides, aunt, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared at \u0027Yikouquan\u0027, there would definitely be a huge crowd of people, with a guard at every step."

Thinking about the scene this morning, Xu couldn't help laughing out loud: "That's true." Let alone anything else, Princess Cheng'an must be reluctant to be too far away from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After Xu treated the wound on Yang Qi's hand, she said, "Okay, Xin Che, be careful when you serve Miss from now on. Don't let Miss touch the wound again."

Yang Qi looked at the tea on Xu's table and said, "By the way, Auntie, I just drank this tea, and it is indeed different from any I have tasted before."

Xu smiled and said, "I felt this tea was special the first time I drank it. I felt much better after drinking it. I guess this tea was grown in Lingshan Temple and has a lot of Buddhist energy."

Yang Qi did not agree with what Xu said, but did not object.

After dinner, Yang Qi told Xin Che that he wanted to read in the room and he could not come in without her permission.

After locking the door, Yang Qi changed into the clothes of a maid in the Han mansion and left the house through the window.

The forces of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince have both gathered at Lingshan Temple, so something big must be happening. If Yang Qi doesn't investigate, he is afraid that he will miss some important news.

Fortunately, Yang Qi saw the Han Mansion’s carriage at the foot of the mountain this morning, so it seemed that her preparation of this set of clothes was not in vain.

Since Nian Rongchuan appeared near "Yikouquan", it meant that the Fifth Prince's men must have planted someone or something here. Now that there was no clue, it would be better to try my luck at "Yikouquan".

Fortunately, the small courtyard where Duke Song lived was located in a remote location, so Yang Qi didn't run into anyone along the way.

When they were almost at "Yikouquan", Yang Qi crawled on the ground, deliberately avoiding the main road and walking along a small path on the side.

Yang Qi has been to "Yikouquan" twice. The second time he carefully observed the surrounding environment. "Yikouquan" is located in a hidden place in the corner, with walls on two sides, one side against the house, and one side against the road.

If there are no mechanisms on both sides of the corners, then there must be something strange about this room.

Yang Qi slowed down his breathing and walked carefully to the side of the house. He looked around carefully to see that there was no one there. Then he used some strength to try to open the windows on the side of the house. However, these windows were blocked by something inside and Yang Qi could not open them with his strength.

After looking around and finding nothing, Yang Qi tentatively touched the door, only to find that it was not locked and opened easily.

Yang Qi pursed her lips, feeling that she was really stupid. She had spent so much time thinking about it but never thought of entering through the door.

Now the sun has set, and all the windows in the house are locked. No light comes in, and the whole house seems a little dark. Yang Qi took out a tinder from his sleeve and observed the house carefully.

There are a few chairs and a round table in the room, with a few bookshelves next to it. I think this room is usually used for pilgrims to rest. If they are a little tired after walking to the "Yikouquan", they can sit in this room for a while.

Since Nian Rongchuan came here, it means this place must be unusual. Thinking of the secret passage under the well in Bibo Lane, Yang Qi began to search this room carefully.

Ever since seeing Yuan Ruiyuan's abilities in Bibo Lane, Yang Qi took the initiative to learn a lot of knowledge about mechanisms. He has read "Qi Men Dun Jia" no less than three times. However, the book was written in a rather profound way. Even if Yang Qi broke it down and studied it in detail, he still could not understand its true meaning.

Yang Qi has always believed that learning more can always be useful, and now he can only see if his half-baked knowledge can be of any use.
