The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Before leaving home, Yang Yao left a small dagger for Yang Qi, which was just enough for him to hide in his sleeve.

The dagger chosen by Yang Yao was not expensive, but it was extremely sharp. It was also chosen by Yang Qi for self-defense as he was worried that there would be a lot of things happening in the mansion recently.

After carefully looking at the layout of the room, Yang Qi put out the fire and slowly approached the bookshelf with a dagger.

Yang Qi felt around on the bookshelf and found no dust. It seemed that someone cleaned it from time to time.

There are four layers in the bookshelf. The top layer is for books, and the second, third and fourth layers are for utensils.

It’s really strange. Why is the book placed on the top? Even with Nian Rongchuan’s height, he has to stand on tiptoe to get it.

Yang Qi moved a chair over and stepped on it to get the book.

Yang Qi lit a fire stick and then he could see clearly that the books were "Diamond Sutra" and "Three Character Classic". What kind of books were these? Could it be that the books these monks read were so diverse?

After putting the books back, Yang Qi quickly checked the equipment on the shelf. There was nothing special about it. Could it be that there was nothing special about this room? Or was it that his ability was too poor to see the key inside.

After walking around the room, Yang Qi didn't find anything. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard some noise outside.

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really safe here?"

"Don't worry, I looked around this afternoon. This place is remote, and no one will come here at night."

Then, there was a rustling sound coming from outside.

When Yang Qi realized what he had seen, his face darkened. They were like a pair of adulterous lovers, taking advantage of the dark night to make love.

Yang Qi huddled in the room, not daring to move, for fear that if he was not careful he might make a noise and his actions today would be exposed.

There was some noise outside, and Yang Qi's face turned red again and again. It was really ridiculous. She came here to investigate something, but she ran into such weird things.

Yang Qi was getting a little bored waiting, so he sat on a stool nearby and waited for the two men to leave before sneaking out.

Yang Qi was cautious in the room and didn't dare to move, but the voices of the two people outside suddenly stopped. Yang Qi thought something was wrong and quickly moved closer to the door and pricked up his ears to listen.

Why did these sounds suddenly stop? Could it be that a pair of wild mandarin ducks outside were discovered and knocked unconscious? But Yang Qi didn't hear any footsteps. If someone really came, it must be a master!

Yang Qi silently raised the knife in his hand and swallowed carefully.

Suddenly, someone covered Yang Qi's mouth from behind, and then he heard a whisper: "Don't talk."

Yang Qi was scared at first, but when he heard this voice, he relaxed. This was the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It seemed that he had found the right direction. There was indeed something unusual about Lingshan Temple.

Peilin quickly operated in front of the bookshelf, and then the bookshelf moved away from both sides, revealing the secret passage inside.

Although Yuan Ruiyuan had his back to Peilin, he could hear the movement behind him: "Follow me." Then, Yuan Ruiyuan slowly let go of the hand that was covering Yang Qi.

Yang Qi didn't know if Yuan Ruiyuan could see it, but he nodded seriously. Now there were powerful enemies outside and the situation inside was unclear. Apart from clinging to Yuan Ruiyuan, Yang Qi really had no other way out for the time being.

Looking at the secret passage opened by Peilin, Yang Qi's brain jumped. There really was a secret passage. It turned out that his ability was not good enough and he could not see the key.

Yang Qi followed Yuan Ruiyuan silently, not daring to say much. He made a lot of money today, and he was sure that he would learn a lot from following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The most important point is that if you follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and behave yourself, your life will be saved. Since Yuan Ruiyuan can appear here, there must be a complete arrangement. I think a lot of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people have been arranged outside.

When Yang Qi entered the secret passage, Peilin pressed down on the stone in the secret passage, and the bookshelf outside returned to its original state. Fortunately, the mechanism arranged by Nian Rongchuan was a surprise, and the bookshelf did not make any noise when it moved back and forth.

The secret passage here was quite long. After walking for a while, Yang Qi suddenly felt enlightened. At the end of the secret passage was a huge circular space with many stone tables placed inside.

Yang Qi sniffed carefully, and the lingering smell in the air was exactly the same as that in Bibo Lane. It seemed that the air underground was not circulating. Although Nian Rongchuan's men had half-cleaned everything, the smell did not dissipate.

Yuan Ruiyuan carefully observed the situation here and couldn't help cursing in his heart. That bastard Yuan Ruiyin really dared to do anything. In order to better control his power, he actually made people make these vicious things in an attempt to control people's hearts.

Ever since Yuan Ruiyin was found secretly making the "Five Stones Powder" in Bibo Lane last time, Yuan Ruiyuan arranged a number of people to secretly investigate the matter, only to find out that Bibo Lane was just one of Yuan Ruiyin's secret places.

In order to find out the secret behind this, Yuan Ruiyuan ordered to track down the enemy from behind and not to alert the enemy. Unexpectedly, the people Yuan Ruiyin sent this time were extremely cunning and actually asked for tracking.

Peilin's people paid a huge price and finally tracked down the whereabouts near Lingshan Temple.

Yuan Ruiyuan came to Lingshan Temple this time just to alert the enemy. If he didn't stir up the grass, how could those lackeys around Yuan Ruiyin possibly move.

Yuan Ruiyin has been a suspicious person since he was young. Yuan Ruiyuan is very clear about this, and the trip to Lingshan Temple is to take advantage of this.

Looking at Yang Qi who was looking around, Yuan Ruiyuan was a little curious: "Tell me about it."

Yang Qi blinked and said in a very flattering manner: "This smell is exactly the same as that of Bibo Lane back then, and I ran into Nian Rongchuan nearby today."

Yang Qi thought for a long time and felt that these court affairs were really complicated. People outside looked at things like fog, but the nobles inside knew everything clearly.

Take the Lingshan Temple tea as an example. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince both knew that the tea contained "Wu Shi San". The Fifth Prince pretended to be ignorant, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly knew it but could not mention it openly.

Yuan Ruiyuan glanced at Song Yangqi and said, "Can you find out this much just by running into Nian Rongchuan?"

Yang Qi smiled openly: "Of course it's because Your Highness the Crown Prince, despite your busy schedule, was able to come to Lingshan Temple in person. Your whereabouts make people think more about it."

Yuan Ruiyuan didn't show any reaction: "That's quite frank."

Yang Qi bowed to Yuan Ruiyuan at this time and said, "I dare not speak nonsense in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yuan Ruiyuan nodded, and began to explore the huge dark room with Peilin.
