The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 166 Temptation (3)

Yuan Ruiyuan tapped the table intermittently and didn't say anything for a long time.

Yang Qi originally wanted to maintain her calmness in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but when she heard the sound of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knocking on the table, this unrhythmic sound made Yang Qi's mind confused.

Just when Yang Qi thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not speak before Peilin came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly stopped what he was doing and said, "It is unlikely that all the monks will be replaced. Lingshan Temple is not a deserted temple. There are always pilgrims coming here."

Yang Qi thought for a moment and said, "This time is special. There are many pilgrims in Lingshan Temple. Except for the first day when my second aunt and I saw the monk in the main hall, the rest of the time we were surrounded by the maids and servants in the mansion. Although there are many pilgrims in Lingshan Temple, no one family will come every day. Only the master in the temple has not changed. If you don't pay close attention, you may not find the problem."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and looked at Yang Qi with some approval: "That's a good idea."

Yang Qi smiled lightly: "For ordinary monks, even if the residence notices something wrong, they can explain it away in a few words. But the person behind this is really bold, he actually dared to put the pharmaceutical base here."

His Royal Highness handed Yang Qi a map of Lingshan Temple beside the table: "The more crowded a place is, the harder it is to think of it. This Lingshan Temple gives him a perfect reason to promote \u0027Wu Shi San\u0027."

Yang Qi nodded, took the map respectfully with both hands, and looked at the layout carefully. Lingshan Temple was built on the mountain. The four courtyards in the middle were the temple halls, and from the middle to the outside were the residences and kitchens of pilgrims and monks.

From top to bottom, Yang Qi carefully and quickly memorized the contents on the map.

The voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came from the front: "I will stay in Lingshan Temple for a few days until this matter is resolved. If you have anything to do, come here directly, and Peilin will bring you in."

Yang Qi nodded. It was because he accidentally came across the place where the medicinal material sulfur was stored in Lingshan Temple today, otherwise he would not have come here.

The closer he is to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the more he will become a thorn in the eyes of all the women in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Yang Qi doesn't want to add so much trouble unnecessarily.

Just when Yang Qi was turning from cautious to bored, Peilin came back from the utility room.

Yang Qi didn't notice when Peilin entered the room until he knelt on the ground beside her. Then she noticed him and was shocked.

Peilin presented the items he found in the utility room to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: "As Miss Yang Qi said, a small portion of these are stored in a hidden place in this utility room."

Yuan Ruiyuan took a look at the sulfur that Peilin brought, and then gave Yang Qi a look.

Yang Qi received Yuan Ruiyuan's message, stepped forward to take a closer look, and smelled it: "Your Highness, this is definitely sulfur, and it is better than the variety I saw in Bibo Lane before."

Perrin went on to say, “Other places are already being searched.”

Yang Qi put down the sulfur in his hand and wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, Yang Qi will take his leave first. I am afraid that if we stay here for too long, people outside will become suspicious."

His Royal Highness nodded, as a response to Yang Qi. With His Royal Highness's approval, Yang Qi silently covered his face.

Just as Yang Qi turned to leave, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly said, "Wait a moment."

Yang Qi was a little confused, and just watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take out a book from the cabinet behind the desk and handed it to him. Although a little confused, Yang Qi still took it and looked at the name of the book, "The Art of War".

Yuan Ruiyuan's face remained calm: "This book contains my previous annotations. I'll consider it as lending it to you. Just return it to me next time." It must be said that Song Yangqi is an intelligent and talented person, but he has always stayed in the backyard, and his thoughts and ideas are limited. If "The Art of War" can give Yangqi some inspiration, it can be regarded as doing a good deed.

Yang Qi murmured a little, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so stingy? Still need to change?

However, looking at the nobleman in front of him, Yang Qi still said with a smile: "Yang Qi thanks Your Highness, I will definitely study this book carefully and make your efforts worthwhile." Then, Yang Qi hurriedly put the book given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his arms.

Coming out of the house, the man in silver clothes who had brought him in earlier stood silently in front of Yang Qi and took Yang Qi out.

The people that His Royal Highness could bring to Lingshan Temple must be his confidants. I don't know how many of His Royal Highness's people are in the court. Yang Qi is now regretting why he didn't pay more attention to the affairs of the court in his previous life, otherwise he would be more confident now.

Although these people were all trusted aides of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Qi still adhered to the principle of being cautious and covered his face to prevent any extra people from seeing his appearance.

After leaving the yard, Yang Qi saw Xin Che holding a stool and looking for him: "Here!"

Xinche breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yangqi: "Miss, the stool has been brought here." Behind Xinche, there were two maids following.

Yang Qi nodded: "Let's leave it here, let's join in the fun today." Yang Qi casually pointed to a place with fewer people.

The two maids and Xin Che immediately got busy and packed up everything, and Yang Qi finally sat down. Although he didn't want to waste time here, but Xin Che had come to find him before, and many people must have seen him. If he left now, it would be a bit conspicuous.

Xin Che poured a cup of tea for Xin Che in the back: "Miss, Madam said in the courtyard earlier that Miss has become a different person this time when she came to Lingshan Temple. She is more lively than usual."

Yang Qi picked up the teacup and smiled: "This time I came to the temple, there are girls of similar age, so there are more topics to talk about. I went to the toilet just now, so it was easy for you to find me."

Xin Che stood behind Yang Qi and said, "I was really shocked when I didn't find the young lady at first."

Yang Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm a grown-up and I won't run away. What's there to be scared of?"

Xin Che was a little embarrassed: "There are just too many people in the temple. I can't keep up with them all." Outside the gate of the courtyard were young ladies from various families. Once a young lady stood inside, it was really hard to find her.

Having been taught by Nanny Zhu since childhood, Yang Qi was still sitting upright on the chair even though he was a little tired now: "Xinche, remember to calculate the time, we have to get back to the yard before mother and second sister arrive." By the time mother and second sister arrive in the yard, it will probably be evening.

Xin Che nodded. The second young lady was not a big problem as he had always had a very good relationship with the young lady. However, if the lady found out that the young lady was not waiting in the yard, she would probably be disliked by the lady.
