The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

"By the way, Your Highness, on the way back to the capital this time, we met Bai Yuxin and..." After a strategic pause, Yang Qi carefully glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then continued, "Also, the Fifth Prince, the two of them acted very intimately."

I thought there would be a bloody storm after I finished speaking, but to my surprise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't even frown.

As expected of the future emperor, can he enjoy wearing such a green hat?

Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not like Bai Yuxin, she is still his future Crown Princess after all.

The emperor's words cannot be changed.

However, seeing the Crown Prince's nonchalant expression, Yang Qi had one more reason to be secretly happy.

Seeing that the girl didn't continue speaking, Yuan Ruiyuan raised his eyebrows: "And then?"

Then? Oh, Yang Qi took a while to react before he said, "The one who contacted the Fifth Prince was Mo Chong from the Mo Clan, who was the designer of this secret base.

Not only that, Mo Chong also raised a large number of snakes in this secret base. If nothing unexpected happened, the beasts seen in Lingshan Temple were probably raised by Mo Chong.

Moreover, this is just one of the five princes’ secret bases.

The reason I was able to stay in this courtyard these days was because I was treating Mo Chong. Mo Chong suffers from albinism, and there is no cure for this disease.

The main house in this courtyard is Mo Chong’s house. There is a small wooden model inside, which is the topographic map I reproduced.”

As he spoke, Yang Qi gestured with his eyes to the topographic map that he had just handed to His Highness.

Putting the topographic map on the table, Yuan Ruiyuan quickly noted down the key points on the map and asked casually, "Anything else?"

"Also, Ah Du and Chen Jing were caught and put in cages. They were injured these days. I have asked someone to send them healing medicine and antidotes, but their current conditions are unclear." At this point, Yang Qi's words became more gloomy.

However, Yang Qi adjusted his state quickly: "The soldiers in the secret base adopt a military management system. I once heard the sound of their training.

Mo Chong is a genius with mechanical devices. In addition to this secret base and the mechanisms everywhere, he can also build mechanical birds and wooden men that can move freely. In this yard, except for a mute man named Wang Ding who comes to deliver meals from time to time, the rest are various "objects" built by Mo Chong.

Your Highness, if you can recruit a person like Mo Chong to serve you, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

On the contrary, if such a "weapon" falls into the hands of the enemy, the threat it poses will be enormous.

Yang Qi quickly explained to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what had happened in the past few days.

Yuan Ruiyuan knew what Yang Qi meant and nodded: "This time, I brought the old lady of the Mo family with me, but I'm afraid she won't arrive for another two days."

Yuan Ruiyuan knew about Adu and Chen Jing's skills and experience, and they could leave crucial marks even in the most critical situations.

Now, the three people disappeared without a trace, and Yuan Ruiyuan began to suspect that there was a secret in this mountain.

But since this entrance and mechanism were designed without leaving any trace, it is very likely that they were done by the Mo family, and Mo Chong is the most likely one.

Therefore, when Yuan Ruiyuan set out, he asked someone to invite the old lady of the Mo family along. Back then, it was this old lady who truly loved Mo Chong.

After all, when Mo Chong left home in anger, Madam Mo was the biggest obstacle in his heart. If it was really Mo Chong who was behind this, the only one who could persuade Mo Chong was probably this old lady who loved him.

"Madam Mo?" Yang Qi was a little confused.

"According to the news, Mo Chong has been discriminated against and tortured in the Mo family because he was born with white skin. The only one who treats him as a normal child is his grandmother, Old Madam Mo." Seeing Yang Qi's confusion, Yuan Ruiyuan subconsciously explained.

The Mo family has always been low-key, and not much is known about them outside.

At that time, thinking that the girl was only learning the art of mechanical engineering, he only gave a brief introduction to the Mohist school. However, because Mo Chong was too smart and unique, he only mentioned it briefly.

Fortunately, the girl was smart and found a way to control Mo Chong from these few short words, thus she was able to save herself.

After confirming that he had not missed any key points on the topographic map, Yuan Ruiyuan returned the map to Yang Qi: "Well done. In this situation, in addition to being able to protect yourself, you can also find so many clues."

Only he himself knew how fortunate and at peace Yuan Ruiyuan felt when he saw Yang Qi for the first time.

But this girl can always give me surprises, just like when she saved me in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

Over the years, Yuan Ruiyuan witnessed with his own eyes how the girl built up a complete intelligence network from having nothing, bit by bit, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Your Highness, are you praising me?

Listening to His Highness' words, Yang Qi felt as if he was in a dream, without a trace of sense of reality.

Thinking of the goal he had set when he first arrived at the pharmacy, Yang Qi couldn't help but become worried. If His Highness was not careful and delayed the revenge of his maternal family, that would be very bad.

When he saw His Highness for the first time, all the courage that Yang Qi had accumulated over the past few days disappeared.

"Your Highness, I heard that you are getting married?"

As if by some strange coincidence, the words that I had practiced for a long time turned out like this when spoken. Yang Qi couldn't help but feel annoyed. What happened to him? He couldn't even say a word in front of His Highness.

Seeing the girl's expression of fear, Yuan Ruiyuan hesitated for a while and said, "Yes, my father's decree has been issued, and neither I nor the Bai family have any choice.

I am not completely unaware of the matter between Bai Yuxin and my fifth brother.

Being in the royal family, there are so many things that you have to do.

Marrying the person of your dreams is a luxury for the royal family, but I have never thought about it."

Staring blankly at His Highness, Yang Qi couldn't believe that he actually saw desolation on His Highness's face!

Except for the first time when he saw His Highness injured, every time Yang Qi saw His Highness, he was confident and unmoved. How could such a crown prince who was planning for the world reveal such a lonely and helpless look in front of others!

I don't know where the courage came from, but Yang Qi suddenly said two words: "There is no way to get rid of this feeling. It has just left my brow, but it is still on my mind. Your Highness, Xiao Qi misses you very much."

Listening to what Yang Qi said, Yuan Ruiyuan's usually sharp eyes slowly widened. Is this girl showing her feelings?

Over the years, Yuan Ruiyuan has experienced many overtures, big and small, and this straightforward description is not the first time he has encountered it. In the past, he would have ignored these girls and walked straight past them.

But this time, besides surprise, I felt more joy.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ruiyuan instantly figured out what he was thinking and smiled helplessly. When did he become so slow-witted?

After finishing speaking, Yang Qi's face was filled with nervousness and disbelief. What happened to him that he could blurt out such straightforward love words!

Looking at Yang Qi with a silly look on her face, Yuan Ruiyuan felt happier and touched Yang Qi's head lovingly: "Silly girl, I get it!"
