The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 345: Submissive outside, bossy inside

Such a big thing happened during the morning court today. Song Hongwen originally wanted to find out the truth from the Fifth Prince, but he never expected that the Fifth Prince and Nian Chuan had been called away by the Emperor, and they might not be able to come out for a while.

There was no other choice, Song Hongwen had to return to the Duke’s Mansion.

It is also because Song Hongwen himself is weak and is not the Fifth Prince's most loyal confidant. The matter of the Five Stones Powder is top secret, and Song Hongwen certainly does not know the key to it.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Duke Song went straight to the main house. If he remembered correctly, Duke Song's mansion had also received a batch of Lingshan tea some time ago, and An had brewed it for him several times.

As soon as Song Hongwen entered the room, An was stunned for a moment. This was the first time that Song Hongwen came back so early since he returned to the capital. She hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Duke, why did you come back so early today? This is the freshly brewed tea. Please try it."

To be honest, An's luck is really bad.

Song Hongwen was already a little frightened because of the Lingshan Tea incident. Although he knew nothing about Lingshan Tea, he could not resist the frame-up by those with ulterior motives. It was better to be cautious in everything.

Now, the tea brewed by An is Lingshan tea!

Putting the teacup in his hand hard on the table, Song Hongwen looked at An unhappily, saying that she was more of a hindrance than a help.

He no longer expected the An family to bring him too many benefits, but Mrs. An was too stupid. She was responsible for all the bad things that happened to her, and she was never involved in any beneficial or prominent things.

Seeing that Song Hongwen looked strange, An's heart was a little nervous, and she asked cautiously in a low voice: "Duke, has something happened?"

If there is a reason for this, I would like to know it earlier and see if it has anything to do with me.

Song Hongwen snorted unhappily: "You brewed Lingshan tea again today?"

Hearing Song Hongwen's angry words, An's heart quickened: "Duke, I prepared this because I saw that you like to drink."

What happened to this Lingshan tea? The Duke praised it highly when he drank it a few times before.

Looking at An with knife-like eyes, Song Hongwen's anger suddenly surged from his heart, and he said: "I love drinking Lingshan tea? How did you know this, and how did you judge it?

When did I ever like this Lingshan tea? "

After a pause, Song Hongwen continued, "Ms. An, at the morning court today, Duan Quan from the Censorate said that the raw materials of Lingshan Tea include the banned drug Wushisan!

This is why this tea was able to quickly open up the market in the capital and be loved by all the dignitaries.

If you drink this tea every day for a long time, not only will you become ill easily, but your body will also be much weaker than that of an ordinary person."

Song Hongwen's words frightened An a little.

Ever since Lingshan tea became available for sale in the capital, An had bought a lot of it in the name of the Duke's Mansion.

These days, the tea that An drinks every day is Lingshan tea.

Nowadays, if I don’t drink Lingshan tea for a day, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. Could it be that I have become addicted to it?

The more An thought about it, the more scared she became. She swallowed and said, "My Lord, I will destroy all the Lingshan tea in the mansion right now. I won't leave any."

"Go quickly, the Lingshan Tea matter is handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and he has full authority over it.

I'm afraid there will be some unrest inside and outside the capital during this period.

Please tell the maids and servants inside and outside the mansion to be careful when talking outside.

I don’t want the servants in the Duke’s Mansion to spread some untrue stories under such circumstances.”

"Yes, Duke, I'll do it right away." After saying that, An immediately left the room. Her steps were still a little unsteady due to fear.

Fortunately, the old woman outside the house was quick-witted and quickly stepped forward to support An, so that she could stand steadily and not fall to the ground.

The news of today's morning court spread quickly. With the presence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's secret guards and people from Guangming Hall, Yang Qi was well-informed about the news.

After burning the paper in his hand in the flames, Yang Qi looked at the gradually rising flames and fell into deep thought.

Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has acted with such great force, and no one knows how things will turn out in the end.

But Yang Qi knew that the Five Stone Powder alone was not enough to completely crush the Fifth Prince.

After all, the ones who were truly hurt were all aristocratic families. The cost of maintaining Lingshan tea was very high, so the price was naturally a bit expensive. Ordinary people did not have the blessing and ability to drink this kind of tea.

I think this is why the fifth prince chose this place.

The original target of the Fifth Prince was these high-ranking officials who held real power, not the beggars on the street.

The emperor himself has never drunk Lingshan tea, and he only talks about the harm of Lingshan tea on paper.

As for the harm of this type of banned drugs to the human body, the emperor was not very interested.

This is also the reason why Nian Chuan and the Fifth Prince were able to leave the upper study safely today.

I have to say that Yang Qi now thinks about problems and phenomena from a more comprehensive and acute perspective.

I just don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to accomplish through the Five-Stone Powder incident, and what hidden plots he wants to lay.

Yang Qi walked to the edge of the back lake and sat on a chair.

Now, among the things he already knew, the only hope of overthrowing the Fifth Prince was to expose the secret base.

The Crown Prince's primary task now is to set up a plan to "expose the secret base".

The incident of the Five Stones Powder this time was a great opportunity for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get to know the Fifth Prince better.

The news that Song Hongwen lost his temper in the main house spread quickly, and Yang Qi got the news at lunch time.

Frowning, Yang Qi sighed a little, this Song Hongwen completely demonstrated what it meant to be "submissive outside, but bossy inside the house".

"Miss, I never thought that Lingshan tea is a banned drug." Xin Che was extremely shocked when he heard the news for the first time. He and the young lady had drunk this tea in Linshan Temple.

"So, this Linshan Temple is going to be closed?" Mother He didn't feel much about this, it's just that this Linshan Temple is well-known in and outside the capital, but it turned out to be all show and no substance.
