The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After Zong Yue finished explaining everything, Yang Qi said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your hard work over the years." The situation of the Western Hu and the Western Luo Manzi is complicated, and various forces are entrenched here. To establish a power here, Zong Yue has spent a lot of effort.

Shaking his head, Zong Yue's eyes dimmed a little: "For the sake of the Grandmaster, Master and all the fellow apprentices, what Zong Yue did is nothing."

Over the years, Zong Yue knew that he and his young lady were in a difficult situation.

Once the young lady is discovered by the Fifth Prince and Nian's people, all that is left for them is endless persecution.

In order to have the power to resist Nian and the Fifth Prince, the young lady has been building her own power and siding with the Crown Prince's camp.

Over the years, the young lady and I have achieved remarkable results. Guangmingtang has developed rapidly and infiltrated all the major towns in the Tianyuan Dynasty. But these are not enough, far from enough.

Sighing, Yang Qi murmured to the map: "Yes, Nian and Yuan Ruiyin killed so many people in vain. What do we count for?"

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Yang Qi changed his tone and said, "I only knew that the road to Xihu was not peaceful before, but after going there myself today, I realized how chaotic it is."

Over the past few years, Zong Yue has traveled back and forth between Xihu and the capital, and has sent people up and down to deal with these bandits. He can be said to be the most clear about the problem here: "Six years ago, the area around Xihu was relatively peaceful, but over the years, the local government has not taken any action, causing the problem of banditry to become more and more serious."

With a cold snort, Yang Qi said: "It's not that the government is not doing anything, I'm afraid it's the government that is supporting us from behind. Zong Yue, this time I was the one who saved General Huo Yun from the hands of the soldiers.

If it weren't for the skilled fighters that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me, I would have been unable to protect myself, let alone save General Huo Yun."

Listening to the young lady's words, Zong Yue widened his eyes, thought about it, smiled bitterly, and said nothing more.

Although Zong Yue didn't know about this before, it wasn't difficult to guess.

There have been no large-scale battles between the Huo family army and the Western Barbarians recently. General Huo Yun's injury did not come from the battlefield. There are only two possibilities: he was injured by the Western Barbarians' secret guards or by people from the imperial court.

But if they are the people from the Western Looting Barbarians, the one they want to get rid of the most is the Duke of Yingguo. If there is a chance to take action, they will only target the Duke of Yingguo, not General Huo Yun.

The only possibility left was that he was injured by people from the imperial court. The Fifth Prince hated these people from the Huo family to the core. General Huo Yun must have suffered a lot when he was captured by the Fifth Prince's people. The scars on his body and the poison in his body were probably caused by that injury.

The longer he stayed in Xihu, the deeper Zong Yue's hatred for Nian and the Fifth Prince became. Back then, Nian and the Fifth Prince, because of their personal affairs and anger towards Concubine Fang, made Master bear the crime of killing the heir to the throne. In a short time, all his relatives and friends were thrown into prison and lost their lives.

Now, Nian and the fifth prince can disregard the lives of the people of Xihu for their own interests. Duke Ying and the second son of the Huo family are now the pillars of the western part of the Tianyuan Dynasty. If something happens to them, Xihu will be plunged into war and the people will live a life worse than death.

However, in the eyes of the Fifth Prince and Concubine Nian, the lives of these people are probably not even as important as a piece of weeds on the roadside. How could they care about the life and death of these people?

Looking at Zong Yue's gloomy expression, Yang Qi patted Zong Yue on the shoulder. At this moment, Yang Qi suddenly felt that the boy who was only a teenager when he first met him has now grown into a mature doctor and the chess player behind the scenes.

"With you here along the way, I don't seem to be so worried anymore."

Since my rebirth, I have been carrying a heavy pressure with every step I take. If I lean towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will be putting my life and property on his shoulders.

However, with Zong Yue around, there was someone to take care of many things that he was not convenient to deal with, as well as the affairs of the Western Hu.

Yang Qi looks a bit like Gu, who is a smaller version of Doctor Gu.

Zong Yue looked at the young lady and seemed to see the shadow of his master: "Miss, Zong Yue will accompany you to the end of this road!"

With a knowing smile, Yang Qi said, "Zong Yue, I came to Xihu this time to avoid the people from the Duke's Mansion. I left a substitute inside and cannot stay for long. Tomorrow, I will leave for the capital."

Indeed, the lady’s current identity is not suitable for staying in Xihu for a long time.

Nodding, Zong Yue said: "Don't worry, miss. I will take care of Xihu's affairs." Now the situation of Xihu is much better than when Zong Yue first arrived.

After leaving the pharmacy, Yang Qi asked Xiao Qing to call A Du, A Yi and Chen Jing over: "The things His Highness ordered have been completed. We will leave for the capital tomorrow. We will go out to buy all the items we need tomorrow morning."

Adu is now Yang Qi's secret guard. Ayi, Xiaoqing and Chen Jing are all sent by His Highness. Logically speaking, after successfully sending Miss Yang Qi to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, these three should return immediately.

However, the situation this time is special. In addition to sending Yang Qi to Xihu, Ayi, Xiaoqing and Chen Jing are also responsible for bringing Yang Qi back to the capital safely.

Adu nodded: "Miss, let's immediately list the items we will need for departure." Yang Qi's current identity is not suitable for staying in Xihu for a long time. The sooner they set off, the lower the probability of their substitute being discovered.

Just as she was about to go out, Yang Qi looked at the expensive Xiangyunsha dress on her body and asked Zong Yue curiously, "Zong Yue, this dress was sent to me by the Lady of the Duke of Ying today. It looks ready-made.

Is there any woman of my age in this British mansion?"

Zong Yue thought for a moment and looked at the dress the young lady was wearing: "His Highness comes to Xihu every year, and the princess occasionally comes with him. The Duke of Ying regularly prepares some dresses for the princess."

No wonder, it turned out to be a dress prepared for the princess. Yang Qi touched the patterns on the dress, which were extremely delicate. It must have been made according to the craftsmanship of the palace.

Nodding, Yang Qi took Xiao Qing out of Zhuliyuan and walked towards Fulingyuan. After working hard for so long, they could finally have a good sleep today.
