The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chen Jing moved very quickly. Before Yang Qi had even finished eating his steamed bun, she came back.

Picking up the pen, Chen Jing wrote on the paper: I have contacted the person arranged by His Highness, but the young lady needs to leave the inn. Now, the inn has been surrounded by Bai Yuxin's secret guards.

Yang Qi put down the steamed bun and nodded.

Adu stayed in the house to guard it, while Chen Jing took Yang Qi to the low hill outside the inn.

When Chen Jing stopped, Yang Qi noticed the secret guards hiding in the shadows of the trees under the moonlight.

Without any extra words, Yang Qi asked directly: "Why did Bai Yuxin come to Xihu?"

"It's for ancestor worship, but the location is not Xihu." The voice of the secret guard sounded coldly from the shadows of the trees.

"If you're not going to Xihu, then why are you here? Where should your original location be?"

"I don't know why we took the detour. The original destination should have been Yongtai, Gansu."

Yang Qi went over the map of the Tianyuan Dynasty in her mind. Xihu and Gansu Yongtai are not adjacent to each other, and going from Beijing to Gansu Yongtai does not require passing through Xihu. How did she get here?

"Has anything major happened in the Bai family recently? Especially Bai Yuxin."

The secret guard paused for a moment and said, "Five days ago, the Emperor issued an edict to marry Miss Bai to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the master of these secret guards, and Bai Yuxin is now engaged to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No matter what, it is very inappropriate to call Miss Bai by her name at this time.

The secret guard's words were like thunder, shocking Yang Qi.

For a moment, Yang Qi felt that the blood in his body was about to freeze. His eyes widened, and the words of the secret guard kept echoing in his mind, "Five days ago, the emperor issued an order to marry Miss Bai to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness, has you received the imperial edict?" Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, Yang Qi's voice was still trembling.

After saying this, Yang Qi found it very ridiculous. If the Crown Prince disagrees with the Emperor's order, then he would be disobeying the Emperor's order.

The secret guard nodded and said, "The marriage was publicly granted at the palace banquet. However, Miss Bai was not in the capital, so Prime Minister Bai received the order on her behalf." This news was written in the pigeon letter that the secret guard received a quarter of an hour ago.

Clenching his hands, Yang Qi tried to use the pain in his hands to divert his attention: "Is there anything unusual in the Duke of Song's mansion?"

Shaking his head, the secret guard replied, "I haven't heard of any unusual incidents happening in the Duke of Song's mansion."

I think it was because the substitute that His Royal Highness found was very similar, and with the help of Mama He and Mama Zhu, no one could find out the flaw. When Yang Qi thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, her heart couldn't help but tighten.

After asking all the original questions, Yang Qi paused and said word by word: "Is your mission this time to protect Bai Yuxin's safety?"

The secret guard did not reply, but only glanced at Chen Jing, and then said: "Every mission of the secret guard is top secret."

Glancing at the secret guard, Yang Qi knew that he would not get an answer from him: "A Jing, let's go."

On the way back, Yang Qi was a little dazed and didn't know how he got back to the house.

His Highness has granted the marriage, and Bai Yuxin finally married His Highness. Is it possible that things will develop along the same trajectory as in the previous life?

Thinking of this, Yang Qi felt his heart twitching in pain. He didn't know when, but tears had already filled his eyes and were streaming down the corners of his eyes.

Is His Highness crazy? He clearly knows that the Bai family is ambitious and goes against his will, so why hasn't he fulfilled this marriage yet?

No wonder Bai Yuwei would come to Beijing at this time. I'm afraid the emperor had already hinted to Prime Minister Bai about this matter. He is looking for his own family to help deal with the follow-up matters.

Thinking of how the Crown Prince fell under Bai Yuxin's dagger in his previous life, Yang Qi couldn't help but tremble and hugged himself tightly.

If that happens, what should I do? What should I do about my grandfather's affairs? What should Zong Yue and others do?

Holding the molten mountain warm jade against his chest, Yang Qi couldn't help but think of the prince's words before he left: "Only with you can I feel at ease." He felt even more heartbroken, his mind was in a mess, and everything became a mess in an instant, echoing in his mind. He wished he could appear in the East Palace the next moment and pull Yuan Ruiyuan to ask, why?

Thinking of this, Yang Qi raised his head suddenly, Song Yang Qi, what are you thinking about? What qualifications do you have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has married Bai Yuxin, you are still a minister! In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must be cautious and act carefully!

Yang Qi closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, but what kept echoing in his mind was the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rebelled. The blood-red sky and the strong smell of blood in the air did not dissipate until a long time later.

But now, it seems that my nasal cavity is filled with the bloody smell of that day again, which makes me scared and sick.

Yang Qi stood up suddenly, wiped the tears from his face, picked up the pen and ink, and began to copy the book from memory.

From "Three Character Classic" to "The Analects of Confucius", Yang Qi has been repeating to himself: Calm down, calm down, be calm!

I don’t know how long I wrote until my heartbeat returned to normal. Yang Qi finally calmed down, put down his pen, washed his face, made a decision, and stopped hesitating.

Holding a handkerchief, Yang Qi knocked on the door of "Master Tan", looked at Adu and Chen Jing in the room, and told them his decision: find a way to inform Xiaoqing and Ayi to postpone the return to Beijing. The most urgent thing is to follow Bai Yuxin and see what the Bai family is up to.

Seeing Chen Jing nod, Yang Qi returned to his room.

The Duke of England and his wife received the news almost at the same time as Yang Qi.

The Duke of England frowned and put the special letter paper on the fire and burned it.

The Lady of the Duke of England could not help but sigh. His Highness had already personally spoken about the Bai family's stance and the imperial edict in Prime Minister Bai's hand. But now, His Highness actually wanted to marry those bastards from the Bai family.

The thought of this made Lady Yingguo feel very uncomfortable: "I have seen Bai Yuxin before. She looks gentle and polite, but her eyes reveal calculation and selfishness. She is not even a match for Your Highness."

Huo Yun was also angry when he learned about this, but it was not because of Bai Yuxin. The status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince determined that it was impossible for him to marry a wife he was satisfied with like himself.

The problem is that the Bai family has always been a hindrance to His Highness. This time, the engagement was arranged under the Emperor's instruction. This Bai Yuxin must be their spy. Having such a person who can enter and leave the East Palace at any time is a huge hidden danger.
