The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

An's disruption was not a big deal, but Yang Qi still did not dare to underestimate it.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest.

People like An can't accomplish anything great, but they are quite capable of doing bad things.

As for Yang Lan's coming-of-age banquet, the old lady and the wife of Marquis Yongyi will take care of it. Even if I worry more about it, it will only be icing on the cake and I can't do anything crucial.

The most important thing at the moment is the "Five Stones Powder" in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince captured Nian Rongchuan, who was the confidant of the Fifth Prince Yuan Ruiyin. I think the structure of the imperial court could be shaken up.

To Yang Qi's surprise, capturing Nian Rongchuan was like a breeze and did not bring about any changes.

Even if it brushes your face gently, only people with a keen mind can catch it.

After burning the received messages on a piece of paper, Yang Qi sat quietly in his seat, tapping on the table from time to time.

Your Highness, how exactly do you use this brilliant move?

His face was so silent, indicating that His Highness did not intend to deal with this matter in a high-profile manner.

Does that mean reporting back to His Majesty in private?

But His Majesty has always favored the Fifth Prince. If he avoids everyone and reports alone, I am afraid that His Majesty will unscrupulously protect the interests of the Fifth Prince.

Your Highness, Your Highness, you are truly an old fox.

Yang Qi touched the bracelet in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

Having not rested the whole night last night, Yang Qi felt that he did not have enough energy when thinking about these problems today.

After taking off his coat and putting it aside, Yang Qi lay down in the warm quilt and fell asleep.

Yang Qi had a good rest in the house, but Mother He and Nanny Zhu were extremely nervous outside.

When Madam He thought of the words that Madam An yelled at her today, she felt tangled and painful in her heart: "Madam Zhu, to be honest, when I think of the words that Madam insulted Miss this morning, my heart aches.

You said, we are so worried just because we follow the lady every day.

But Miss has to deal with these things personally, so she must be more worried than me."

Aunt Zhu poured a cup of tea for Mama He: "You must have been so busy this morning that you haven't had any water yet. Drink some water to moisten your throat. Your throat is a little hoarse."

"Thank you." Taking the cup from Nanny Zhu, Mother He drank it all in one gulp. Still feeling unhappy, she poured herself two extra cups.

After drinking the tea, He's mother realized the discomfort in her throat.

“Mother He, today the young lady and the mistress had a falling out over the Guangming Hall incident.

After this, the lady will definitely use some despicable means to deal with the young lady.

The young lady has a lot of things to do and is very busy. I'm afraid she can't take care of the affairs of Guangming Hall personally.

We are the closest and most capable people to the young lady. If we can't keep calm and let the lady take advantage of the opportunity, it will be more trouble than gain."

These words from Nanny Zhu pulled Mother He out of her anger. Yes, the most urgent task now is to keep an eye on the An family and protect Guangming Hall.

Today, Nanny Zhu has conveyed the young lady's intention to Manager Yu, which is to send a few more people to secretly watch Guangming Hall.

Yang Qi slept until before dinner.

Yang Qi opened his eyes drowsily and looked out the window. It was already dark. He couldn't help rubbing his head. Huh, he actually slept until now.

I thought I would just take a nap, but I didn't expect that the whole afternoon would pass by.

Seeing some movement in the house, Mama He and Mama Zhu, who were guarding in the yard, came in with food and hot water.

"Miss, the Duke came home today in a very bad mood." Mother He placed the food in the room one by one and spoke.

"I guess father's anger was taken out on the main room," Yang Qi guessed as he took the handkerchief from Nanny Zhu's hand.

Mother He looked at the young lady in shock: "Young lady, are you changing your career to become a fortune teller?"

Yang Qi was amused by what He's mother said. It was not him who could calculate, it was clearly An who was stupid and meddling.

Song Hongwen had emphasized earlier that during the Five-Stone Powder incident, the palace must remain peaceful and quiet and no trouble should arise.

But An didn't take Song Hongwen's words to heart at all.

Everything should be done as usual.

With this kind of action, there is no need for Aunt Yin to do anything. As long as the situation is allowed to develop, An will be dragged into the water.

Originally, Yang Qi just wanted to watch An and Aunt Yin fight each other.

But who could have offended An today? He actually wanted to take away his Guangming Hall. So he could only find something for An to do.

Fortunately, Aunt Yin has done a lot of things behind the An family's back over the years.

All Yang Qi needs to do is to add some momentum behind the scenes so that what Aunt Yin is promoting can spread further and more people will know about it.

Aunt Yin thought she had done these things secretly, but she never imagined that they had already fallen into the eyes of those who had ulterior motives and became part of everyone's calculations.

As the ancients said, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

After a simple wash, Yang Qi quickly filled his stomach and left himself alone in the room.

So many things happened during this period that Yang Qi didn't have much time to carefully review everything that happened during this period and whether he was closer to his goal.

Since he was reborn, Yang Qi has regarded clearing the Gu family's grievances and taking control of his own destiny as the two most important goals and resolutions in his life.

These two points have never changed even after Yang Qi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expressed their feelings to each other.

However, after that, another major thing appeared in Yang Qi's life goal, which was to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and make sure to avoid the path of his previous life.

During this period, Yang Qi gained a lot. He recognized the Duke and Duchess of Yingguo as his adoptive father and mother, confirmed the feelings between himself and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, recaptured Mo Chong, and found the base where the Fifth Prince secretly stationed his troops in Xihu.

Normally, any one of these things would be worth thinking about for a long time, but in Xihu's situation, I was able to make a decision in the fastest time, which is really an improvement!
