The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After calming down, Yang Qi continued to stay in the study, reading and practicing calligraphy, but unlike before when she was completely unmoved, she now felt uncomfortable and sad.

Mother Fan observed Yang Qi's mood in the courtyard intentionally or unintentionally, and confirmed the loss of the third lady, and then reported everything to the old lady. Mother Fan said that it was normal for Yang Qi to be sad. The Duke's heart was too biased. After all, his daughter was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Moreover, even Aunt Yin and Yang He received Mid-Autumn Festival gifts this time.

The old lady nodded: "Mother Rong, please take out the camellia pearl necklace in my room and give it to the third girl." This camellia pearl necklace was recently acquired by the old lady. At the very top of the necklace is a camellia carved from white jade, which is pure and beautiful.

The old lady originally intended to give this camellia bead necklace to the second young lady at the banquet. Now it is a compensation to the third young lady, and it also allows the third young lady to understand the old lady's intentions.

Yang Qi saw the camellia bead necklace sent by Rong’s mother. The pearls and white jade shone brightly in the sunlight and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

Yang Qi picked up the camellia bead necklace, looked at it carefully, and couldn't let it go. She put it on her chest and murmured, "Grandma still thinks of me in her heart."

After entering the house, Mother He took the camellia bead necklace from Yang Qi's hand, placed it in front of the dressing mirror, and then left the house.

Yang Qi sat in his seat. This Nanny Zhu was really a very smart person. Just a few simple words could make him suddenly realize his mistake. Without Nanny Zhu's advice, Yang Qi would not have realized that he was too direct in his daily life. However, in many cases, being reckless is not as effective as being gentle.

This time, he retreated to advance and showed weakness, which instead aroused the old lady's love.

Yang Qi couldn't help but admire that Yang Lan could grow up to be the mother of a country, which was really due to the careful teaching of the old lady, Mr. Yang and the nanny. With the guidance of famous teachers, even the crooked path of life can be avoided.

In the previous life, if I had Madam Zhu to teach me, I would not have developed such a bad temper. In the Han Mansion, I was bullied into the mud, but I didn't dare to fight back. The reason why those people in the Han Mansion bullied me so unscrupulously was because I only felt sorry for myself and never refuted.

In fact, Yang Qi's family background is not bad. He has an elder sister who is as noble as the mother of the nation, and a father and brother who have successful careers. If a quarrel really breaks out, the Han family will definitely not gain any benefits.

After receiving the new pearl necklace from the old lady, Yang Qi was very happy for several days.

After much anticipation, Zong Yue finally returned from Xihu, and Yang Qi persuaded Xu to let him go.

Arriving at Guangming Pharmacy, Yang Qi felt a little distressed when he saw Zong Yue, who had lost a lot of weight. In some ways, Zong Yue was his only ally in revenge. When there was a top-secret matter, Yang Qi only trusted Zong Yue to handle it: "Zong Yue, what did you gain from this trip to Xihu?"

Zong Yue led Yang Qi to the backyard and said, "Miss, I have put all the herbs I brought from Xihu in the warehouse. Please go to the backyard and take a look."

Yang Qi nodded: "Mother He, you keep an eye on the store."

Arriving at the backyard, Yang Qi turned around and looked at Zong Yue carefully: "You have become thinner and darker. You must eat more this time."

Zong Yue didn't care about these things. What's the point of being so naive? "Miss, I went to Xihu this time. When I arrived at the border of Xihu, I found a few bandits as you said, but from Zong Yue's point of view, they were not very powerful. Although the area where these bandits are active is on the border of Xihu, it belongs to Qinghai under the administrative division."

"Qinghai, the governor of Qinghai is Yong Liang." Yong Liang is a member of the Fifth Prince's party. In his previous life, after the Fifth Prince ascended to the throne, Yong Liang's career was promoted rapidly.

Zong Yue nodded: "On the surface, under the leadership of General Huo, Xihu is peaceful and harmonious, but I have inquired. In recent years, the army's use of medicinal materials is the same as usual, but privately, the use of hemostatic herbs is higher than usual. However, the amount of each shop is not large, so it is not conspicuous."

Yang Qi nodded. This was consistent with what he had imagined. As the saying goes: Before the troops move, food and grass must be sent first. Whether there is a war or not, if you want to raise troops, in addition to a large amount of food and grass, medicinal materials are also indispensable. If Yuan Ruiyin is raising an army, this is definitely not something a drug dealer can afford. The safest way is to accumulate a little to make a lot.

But how can we get the evidence? Yuan Ruiyuan, the Queen, the Duke of England, these big figures, were all trapped in their previous lives, which means that this matter must be done very safely. Starting from Yuan Ruiyin's side, it must be difficult? Yang Qi sat on the chair, lost in thought, one hand unconsciously tapping the table.

Zong Yue stood aside and felt that after not seeing her for several months, the young lady had become much more dignified. Yang Qi didn't know what Zong Yue was thinking, but even if he knew, he could only say from the bottom of his heart that it was all thanks to Nanny Zhu. Nanny Zhu's teaching to Yang Qi was not only about etiquette, but more about the cultivation of wisdom and insight. Yang Qi later felt more and more the credit of Nanny Zhu's teaching.

Yang Qi was lost in thought. The only thing he could be sure of was that General Huo was killed in Xihu. It must be the result of many factors. Yuan Ruiyin and his party had set many traps, the Western Barbarians were watching closely, and the emperor's taboos were all the fuse. Is it possible that it was the result of cooperation among many factors? Yuan Ruiyin and the Western Barbarians?

Thinking of this, Yang Qi's legs began to weaken. Impossible, impossible. If Yuan Ruiyin really cooperated with the Western Barbarians, it would be tantamount to treason! The fifth prince really dared to think so.

This idea is a bit bizarre, because it will be the biggest stain in the Fifth Prince's life. Once someone gets the relevant evidence, it will shake the country! However, if the plan succeeds, the Fifth Prince's road to becoming the emperor will be smooth sailing. This temptation is enough for the Fifth Prince to take the risk.

Yang Qi shook his hand. Since childhood, everyone in the Tianyuan Dynasty knew that the Western Barbarians had killed many people in the Tianyuan Dynasty. The greatest wish of all civil officials and military generals was to eliminate the Western Barbarians as soon as possible!

Yang Qi's mind suddenly lit up. So that's why. The reason why the emperor didn't use the whole country to eliminate the Western Barbarians was that he wanted to use the Western Barbarians to consume General Huo's military strength and delay General Huo. If General Huo was allowed to eliminate the Western Barbarians, then the reputation of General Huo, the Duke of Ying, would be even greater, and his achievements would surpass his master.

But, do these nobles only care about their own interests? Will the current emperor and the fifth prince really ignore the lives of the people of Xihu and the Huo family army and cooperate with the Western Barbarians? This is too terrible.
