The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

When Yang Qi came to his senses, he realized that he was dragged down from the well by Yuan Ruiyuan. Even though Yang Qi had become much braver after his rebirth, he was still frightened by Yuan Ruiyuan's behavior.

This prince seems to be very careful about his life. Is there something strange about this well? When his feet touched the ground again, Yang Qi realized that there was no water in the well.

Standing there, Yang Qi carefully recalled what he had seen when he passed through Bibo Lane. Although there were not many wells in the alley, there were wells in many courtyards! Could it be that someone had done something underground in Bibo Lane?

In fact, Yuan Ruiyuan had observed before going down the well that the well was empty. It was just a decoy, and the real purpose was to cover up the secret at the bottom of the well.

Yuan Ruiyuan touched the wall of the well with his hand. This was a brick well. Judging from the situation, the well was quite old. Since bricks were used to build the well, it was estimated that the people who had lived in Bibo Lane before were not poor. However, since they could buy a property in the inner city, the original owner must have been either rich or noble.

In order to investigate the origin of Bibo Lane, Peilin investigated several owners including Prince An, but due to the long time, the initial construction of Bibo Lane may have to be traced back to the previous dynasty, so the matter was shelved.

Peilin has been with Yuan Ruiyuan for many years. Although His Royal Highness has spies all over the Tianyuan Dynasty, many things are done secretly by political enemies. With limited manpower and energy, Peilin cannot investigate every matter carefully. Some things that encounter bottlenecks are put on hold, that is, temporarily shelved.

Yang Qi watched Yuan Ruiyuan touching the wall of the well here and there. Every move he made was quite methodical. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also good at mechanical arts?

Yuan Ruiyuan glanced at Yang Qi from the corner of his eye: "How does it smell now?"

After hearing Yuan Ruiyuan's words, Yang Qi sniffed carefully: "It's richer than the one on the ground, and the smell is a bit pungent." Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mistake his nose for a dog's nose?

Nodding, Yuan Ruiyuan pressed down a stone on the well wall, and then, a 1.5-meter-long door miraculously appeared on the brick wall in front of Yang Qi. Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Qi couldn't help but admire in his heart, this is what is called a secret door. The small door in his dormitory that connects to the back lake must be nothing but an attempt to cover up the truth in Yuan Ruiyuan's eyes.

It was pitch black behind the door, and Yang Qi couldn't help but shrink his head. It looked a little dangerous inside. Mr. Yang said that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. A big man like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be interested in such an unknown thing. Unfortunately, Yuan Ruiyuan was wearing a mask, so Yang Qi couldn't see his expression.

Yuan Ruiyuan looked behind the door, and without hesitation, he stepped in. However, Yuan Ruiyuan was much taller than the door, so he had to bend down. Yang Qi looked at the actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, feeling a little overwhelmed. Without His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leading him, he couldn't fly up. Looking at the well mouth from the bottom of the well, Yang Qi resolutely followed Yuan Ruiyuan.

Unexpectedly, just after Yang Qi passed the brick door, the door quickly closed. The closing of the door took away the only light in front of Yang Qi's eyes, which frightened Yang Qi so much that his mind went blank for a moment.

"Oh my God!" accompanied by a cry for help, Yang Qi closed his eyes tightly and hurried forward to grab the corner of Yuan Ruiyuan's clothes.

Yuan Ruiyuan ignored Yang Qi's behavior and took out a tinder from his chest. The fact that it could be lit showed that the air quality in the well was good. Following the light of the tinder, Yuan Ruiyuan could see the scene at the bottom of the well clearly. There were actually many large boxes.

Yuan Ruiyuan wanted to look forward, but he felt someone pulling him hard from behind. He said helplessly, "Let's go."

Hearing Yuan Ruiyuan's voice, Yang Qi slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Qi couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Your Highness, let's go, let's go."

Yuan Ruiyuan pulled at his clothes, but Miss Song San still didn't let go of her hand. Noticing Yuan Ruiyuan's action, Yang Qi quickly let go of her hand: "I'm sorry, Your Highness." Then, Yang Qi took a deep breath. Be calm. Be calm. Opportunities are always hidden in danger. If she can grasp this place well, she can hold on tightly. For the sake of her grandfather and her mother, she must be calm.

Opening his eyes, Yang Qi followed the light of the tinderbox and saw the big box behind the door. He quickly stepped forward and sniffed carefully. It was this smell: "Your Highness, this is the source. The smell that permeates the alley comes from here."

Yang Qi wanted to open the boxes and take a closer look, but each box was locked. Helplessly, Yang Qi could only look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside him and stepped back. This part was beyond the scope of what he had learned.

Yuan Ruiyuan picked up the lock and looked at it, then handed the tinder to Yang Qi, and took out a thin needle from his hair, turned it in the keyhole, and the lock opened.

Yang Qi watched Yuan Ruiyuan's actions, not knowing whether he should pretend not to see them in this situation. Just now, he was just trying his best, but he didn't expect that the Crown Prince could really open the lock. What kind of crown prince is this royal family cultivating? Besides, Yuan Ruiyuan hid weapons in his hair, how vigilant must he be.

Watching Yuan Ruiyuan open the alley, Yang Qi hurried forward and looked at the objects in the alley in the dim light from the fire.

"This box contains sulfur."

"This is red ochre."

“This is white quartz.”

"This is purple quartz."

“This is a stalactite.”

After looking through the five boxes, Yang Qi became more curious. His grandfather's notes had recorded: "The formula of Wu Shi San originated from Huangfu Mi, a famous scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty. He was proficient in medicine and took Wu Shi San himself, so he had done a lot of research on it."

Yuan Ruiyuan was not surprised that Yang Qi could recognize all the herbs. Yang Qi was able to take out the "magic medicine", and according to the news from the secret guard, Yang Qi had been studying medical books. This was also the second reason why Yuan Ruiyuan brought Yang Qi down: "What is the combination of these herbs?"

Yang Qi looked at Yuan Ruiyuan and said softly, "Five Stone Powder."

Yuan Ruiyuan's eyes narrowed. He had seen in a book that this "Wu Shi San" was a banned drug.

Yang Qi looked into Yuan Ruiyuan's eyes and guessed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have some understanding of this: "Your Royal Highness, this Wu Shi San will cause fever after taking it, so you need to eat cold food, drink cold water, wear cold clothes, and sleep in cold bed. It will get better only when you are extremely cold, so it is also called Han Shi San."

After a pause, Yang Qi looked at Yuan Ruiyuan's reaction and continued, "This Wushi Powder is effective in treating stroke, removing cold, and attacking sores and injuries. However, this prescription is toxic. After taking the powder, people will have a sense of heightened senses, mental excitement, and a feeling of euphoria."
