The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

The backyard of Guangming Pharmacy.

Yang Qi sat on the chair with his eyes closed. He didn't speak in a hurry, but just tapped the table with his hands.

Zong Yue did not urge anyone. He put his hands in front of him and waited quietly.

After withdrawing his hand, Yang Qi looked at Zong Yue and said, "Zong Yue wants to ask you for two things this time: First, you must put the trip to Xihu on the agenda immediately. You can set off in the next few days. Pay special attention to the distribution of the Fifth Prince Yuan Ruiyin and Bai Xiang's forces in Xihu and what they want to do. Second, see if you can arrange a few people to enter Bai Xiang and Yongyi Marquis's mansion to see if you can find out any useful information. We have to take the long road."

Zong Yue paused and said, "Miss, regarding the first point, can you give some more specific details?"

Yang Qi said slowly: "I suspect that the bandits on the road to Xihu are not bandits, but soldiers. Also, Xihu may be in trouble. We must get more information before it breaks out, so that we can negotiate with the people above."

Zong Yue was shocked by what Yang Qi said. If there were really soldiers pretending to be bandits, wouldn't that be for rebellion? Near Xihu, could it be that Yuan Ruiyin was going to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? The lady mentioned Bai Xiang, could it be that Bai Xiang also surrendered to the Fifth Prince! When Zong Yue heard these words, he felt a thin layer of sweat on his back.

How did the young lady know such a confidential matter? If even a word of what the young lady said today were to get out, I'm afraid half of the court would be overthrown.

Zong Yue calmed down and knew the importance of this matter. "Miss, I will never let out a single word of what you said today. I will pack up and leave tomorrow."

Yang Qi looked at Zong Yue firmly. Now he could only let Zong Yue do this matter, and he trusted Zong Yue to do it: "Zong Yue, this matter is all my guess. If we can find evidence, we will definitely be able to overturn the case for grandpa! Also, after you leave, I will ask my second aunt to send someone to look after Guangming Pharmacy."

Then, Yang Qi added: "Zong Yue, I completely trust you on how to do it, just go ahead and do it. If you have any questions, please let me know at any time."

Yang Qi took out a wallet from his sleeve: "Take the money in here." The money in the wallet was all the red envelopes that Yang Qi received during the Chinese New Year.

Zong Yue did not refuse. All the things that Yang Qi just mentioned would require money to take care of, and the money here might not be enough.

Yang Qi and Zong Yue didn't know that the decision they made today would have a profound impact on the future Tianyuan Dynasty.

After finishing Yang Qi's business, the owner of the pancake shop quickly closed up the stall and disappeared into the street.

The note that Yang Qi gave to Yuan Ruiyin was also handed to Yuan Ruiyuan as quickly as possible.

Yuan Ruiyuan planned to spend some time with his mother these days. The emperor favored Concubine Nian alone, and except for the first day of the first lunar month stipulated by the ancestors, he stayed in Kunning Palace, and spent the rest of the time with Concubine Nian.

The queen had only one son and one daughter, in addition to the crown prince Yuan Ruiyuan, there was also the third princess Yuan Yi.

Although Yuan Ruiyuan was in Kunning Palace, he always held a book in his hand and only put it down when the Queen was talking to Yuan Yi.

The queen picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, and handed it to the prince.

Yuan Yi looked at her mother's actions and said jealously, "My mother is partial to my brother. I have been sitting here for a long time, but I have never seen my mother peel an orange for me."

The queen heard this and smiled, covering her mouth: "You, mother will peel it for you right away."

Yuan Yi wasn't really jealous, she just felt that it was a bit boring in the room without anyone talking, so she just wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

After receiving the news, Peilin immediately sent someone to inform the people around the Crown Prince. Yuan Ruiyuan's personal servant entered the room and whispered something in Yuan Ruiyuan's ear.

Yuan Ruiyuan put down the book and the orange in his hand: "Mother, Third Sister, I have some things to deal with, so I will go back first."

The queen knew that her son was busy with important matters, so she nodded and said, "Rong Pei, put the chicken soup I cooked this morning away for the prince." Then she said to Yuan Ruiyuan, "Take the chicken soup and drink some when you go back."

Yuan Ruiyuan did not refuse. His mother had spent a lot of time and effort to prepare the chicken soup early in the morning.

After Rong Pei packed the things and handed them to the servant beside Yuan Ruiyuan, Yuan Ruiyuan bowed and left.

When they arrived at the Eastern Palace, Peilin was already waiting in the study. When he saw Yuan Ruiyuan, he immediately knelt down and handed him the note.

After Yuan Ruiyuan opened it, he found that the note was very small and had only nine words written on it: "Prime Minister Bai, Marquis Yongyi, and Duke Song's Mansion".

What's the girl's intention in spreading this news?

Yuan Ruiyuan closed the note again, sat on the chair, and tapped the table with his hands. The son of Prime Minister Bai was assassinated outside the city and was saved by the passing Marquis Yongyi. This matter was not a secret, and Mrs. Bai's swaggering visit to thank him also showed the attitude of the Bai Mansion.

Is there any reversal in this matter?

What kind of connections do these three ministers have in private? Could it be that all of them have joined Yuan Ruiyin's side?

Thinking of this, Yuan Ruiyuan took a deep breath. This matter made him, who was always calm, a little unsteady. Among these three, the Duke of Song's Mansion had fallen. The Prime Minister was a minister who was second to none and the leader of all civil officials. The Marquis of Yongyi was a military general, the second most powerful military general in the Tianyuan Dynasty after his grandfather, General Huo!

Yuan Ruiyuan had extended an olive branch to Bai Xiang, but Bai Xiang had always been uninterested in choosing sides and was only loyal to the emperor, so he did not accept Yuan Ruiyuan's olive branch.

Originally thinking that he had mastered the dynamics of all the ministers in the capital, he did not expect to have such a big omission. Yuan Ruiyuan said gloomily: "Pei Lin, you go and keep an eye on Bai Shuo yourself. Keep an eye on him and know his every move."

Peilin immediately sensed that Yuan Ruiyuan was in an abnormal condition, and nodded and retreated.

Bai Xiang's influence in the court and the country cannot be underestimated. If Bai Xiang shows up, many officials in his own camp may be shaken.

If Yang Qi were here, he might understand why Yuan Ruiyuan's faction was defeated in the previous life, because the bottom line was too high. Yuan Ruiyin was a person who would do anything to win, and could abandon the entire Tianyuan Dynasty to be buried with him, but Yuan Ruiyuan's bottom line was too high, whether it was General Huo or the Queen! They were people who could sacrifice their small self for the greater self.
