The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After saying something to Mrs. Xu, Yang Qi took Xin Che out of the yard.

"A Spring" is just a cover. Yang Qi takes "A Spring" as the starting point to see if there are other secret rooms in Lingshan Temple.

The underground dark room yesterday was very large. If Lingshan Temple really has another underground dark room, I don’t think it would be near the "Yikouquan".

After Yang Qi fetched some water, he asked Xin Che to take the kettle and walk to the other side of Lingshan Temple.

Xin Che watched as the young lady's maids and monks increased in number, and whispered in front of him, "Young lady, there are a lot more people here."

Yang Qi nodded. Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in this direction. He guessed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was resting here. If one wanted to "accidentally meet" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this was the best chance, so there should be the most people here.

The most conspicuous person in the crowd was Princess Cheng'an. As a member of the royal family, she was dressed the most luxuriously and had the most people around her. Yang Qi, the daughter of a minister, was naturally not comparable to Princess Cheng'an.

Yang Qi was wearing a light green dress today. Her hairstyle and decorations were not outstanding. She was not conspicuous in the crowd and just stood behind everyone.

Seeing that more and more people came, the monks of Lingshan Temple set up tables and put tea on them for the pilgrims to taste and take a rest.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, a light rain fell from the sky. The mountain top, which was already relatively cold, became even colder due to the wind and rain.

As the cold wind blew, fine rain fell freely from the sky.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the maids from each family hurriedly escorted their daughters to the nearest house to take shelter from the rain. For a while, all kinds of noises came one after another.

"Miss, Miss, let's go back to the house."

"Ouch, who stepped on me?"

"Miss, it's raining."

"Go, go back quickly."

Seeing that it started to rain, Xin Che hurriedly used his hands to block the rain for Yang Qi, but his hands were too small to block it at all: "Miss, let's go to the house over there to take shelter."

Yang Qi nodded. The monks of Lingshan Temple were not in a state of confusion, as if they did not feel the rain. However, Princess Cheng'an was in a state of great embarrassment.

Today, Princess Cheng'an wore a long skirt that dragged on the ground. As the rain fell, she looked particularly disheveled.

Although the maids on all sides rushed over, the young ladies from the noble families nearby ran away in panic. One of the maids was tripped by a servant girl in the panic and actually dragged Princess Cheng'an to the ground with her.

At this moment, the nearest monk took three or two steps to Princess Cheng'an's side, and used the stick behind him to stand diagonally on the ground to support Princess Cheng'an steadily, thus avoiding an accident.

Yang Qi saw everything the monk did. He frowned and quickly pulled Xin Che towards the shelter. However, there were too many people inside, so Yang Qi and Xin Che had to squeeze behind the door.

Princess Cheng'an is very concerned about her reputation. She lost face today and might take her anger out on the people around her. It is better to stay away from this ancestor to avoid being implicated.

Feeling a pain in her waist, Princess Cheng'an opened her eyes and found that she was blocked by a stick. She didn't know which bitch had pulled her and made her like this.

Without looking in the mirror, Princess Cheng'an knew that she was in a very miserable situation. She shook her sleeves and did not go to a nearby house to take shelter from the rain. Instead, she braved the rain and returned to the courtyard where she stayed in Lingshan Temple.

The maidservant beside her knew that the princess was in a bad mood and did not dare to speak without permission. They looked at each other and could only follow the princess.

Seeing Princess Cheng'an walking away, Yang Qi took Xin Che to the eaves to take shelter from the rain. There were too many maids and young ladies in the house, and they were soaked by the rain. Now the house was filled with the smell of powder.

Yang Qi really couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't know how thick the makeup and powder these ladies put on in order to meet Yuan Ruiyuan. Don't these people know that Yuan Ruiyuan has always disliked the smell of powder?

When he reached the outside of the eaves, Yang Qi took a deep breath, and the uncomfortable feeling faded a little.

However, the preferences of a noble like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot be known except by the closest people. If they really know, it is probably just a false preference that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants others to know.

Heavy makeup is popular in the capital nowadays, so these young ladies from aristocratic families naturally dress up according to the fashion. The popularity of heavy makeup is due to Concubine Nian's love for it.

Those close to the Queen know that the Queen has never been fond of cosmetics and does not like the smell of them. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have inherited this from the Queen.

Yang Qi was in the corridor, recalling the monk's movements. His every move was clearly that of a martial artist. This man was just an ordinary monk, but he had excellent martial arts skills.

Yang Qi's eyes widened. Could it be that the people who made the "Five Stone Powder" in the dark room were the monks of Lingshan Temple? These monks used Lingshan Temple as a cover, receiving pilgrims during the day, but making the "Five Stone Powder" underground at night. In this way, everything could be explained.

The fifth prince wanted to find a place as a base for his medicine making, so he replaced all the monks in Lingshan Temple with his own people, and asked Nian Rongchuan to be in charge of the matter and check on it from time to time.

The two giant pythons yesterday were probably older than the Fifth Prince. Could it be that the Fifth Prince had someone raising giant beasts for him? These two giant pythons were like guardians, guarding Lingshan Temple for the Fifth Prince. Or, the Fifth Prince knew that the Crown Prince was coming here, so he placed these two giant pythons here to help him eliminate the enemy.

It would be impossible to bring such a giant python into Lingshan Temple silently, but Lingshan Temple is built on a mountain, and the giant python may also climb up from the mountain behind.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might have found some clues, but had no evidence, so he swaggered into Lingshan Temple and attracted so many noble ladies from aristocratic families to come and divert attention.

Didn't His Royal Highness's actions yesterday alert the enemy? With His Royal Highness's martial arts and wisdom, he could have come to Lingshan Temple quietly and alone.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was deliberately alerting the Fifth Prince's people and making them move in order to find some information and evidence?

Yang Qi was lost in her own thoughts, but Xin Che was very worried about Yang Qi's health. It was very cold outside, and the young lady was wet. If the wind blew, she would probably get sick.

Looking at the monk beside him, Xin Che gritted his teeth and said, "Master, now the shelters are all full. My lady has no other choice but to ask if you have an umbrella so that we can leave first."

The monk looked at Yang Qi and Xin Che, then took out a wooden umbrella from the utility room nearby and said, "When the rain stops, just return it."

Xin Che took the umbrella and said, "Thank you, Master. I will return it to you in time after the rain stops."
