The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

“If only one or two diehards of the Bai family were causing trouble, perhaps it could be explained as an accident.

But now, dozens of noble families are attacking us at the same time and putting pressure on us. This cannot be just a coincidence!

There is no doubt that someone must be deliberately pushing and fanning the flames behind the scenes.

And with the remaining power of the Bai family, it is impossible to have the ability to do this."

Yuan Ruiyuan took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, relaxing his tense nerves a little. He picked up the tea on Yang Qi's table, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

The tea slid down his throat, bringing a hint of warmth, making him feel a little better.

These days, there have been constant problems in Jiangnan, which have caused him a lot of trouble.

The instigator of all this was his fifth brother.

This fifth brother really knows how to utilize resources. Even though he can no longer control Jiangnan, he still tries his best to dig so many traps for himself.

“The current situation in Jiangnan is no longer something that Lu Xiaojun and his team can handle.

If I don’t go there in person, I’m afraid Jiangnan will really see a big change.”

The Jiangnan region is of vital importance to the Tianyuan Dynasty. It is not only the economic center of the country, but also the key to political stability.

Once problems arise in Jiangnan, the foundation of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty may be shaken.

Yuan Ruiyin obviously knew this very well, and his move accurately hit the Crown Prince's soft spot.

After hearing what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

“If things are really as Your Highness said, then the Fifth Prince is really risking everything this time and will lure you to Jiangnan at all costs.

The Bai family has been operating in Jiangnan for many years. The power they have secretly cultivated should not be underestimated and cannot be easily eliminated overnight.

It is conceivable that if you go to Jiangnan in person this time, the Fifth Prince will definitely lay a net there, just waiting for you to go!"

Yuan Ruiyin's move was really too vicious!

Looking at Yang Qi's frown, Yuan Ruiyuan said helplessly: "Don't worry, even if Fifth Brother sets countless traps in Jiangnan, I have a way to break them."

Although Yuan Ruiyuan suffered some losses in the confrontation with Yuan Ruiyin over the years, even under his father's consistent favoritism, Yuan Ruiyuan was able to suppress his ambitious fifth brother.

"A trapped beast will still fight. Its power should not be underestimated." Looking at the Crown Prince's undisguised fatigue, Yang Qi said with some concern.

In his previous life, the Fifth Prince was able to force His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into rebellion and eventually become emperor. He must have been superior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Today, even though the situation in the court is very good, it is still not the time to secure victory.

“Things in the court change rapidly.

Bai Qi has enjoyed great success for decades since he entered the imperial court. Who could have imagined that he would be in such a state now?"

Regardless of other things, Bai Yuxin, just because of her title as Prime Minister Bai's granddaughter, has enjoyed great popularity among the noble ladies in the capital over the years.

"I will not be in the capital for some time. If you encounter any grievances or problems that cannot be solved, just ask Ah Du to go to the East Palace to find Pei Er. He will handle it."

As the deputy commander of the Crown Prince's secret guards, Pei'er has learned a lot from Peilin over the years and has become much more stable.

After a pause, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took out a token from his bosom, placed it in Yang Qi's hand, and continued: "This is the 'Zhao Yi Order', with this token you can enter the palace at any time.

If you encounter difficulties that you cannot solve, you can go to the palace to find your mother, and she will protect you."

Although the probability of encountering such a thing is low, Yuan Qi's troublemaking on the official road today sounded a wake-up call to Yuan Ruiyuan.

Yuan Ruiyuan knew in his heart that Yang Qi was indeed a very intelligent woman. She had a flexible mind and quick thinking, and was often able to make correct judgments and decisions quickly in many complex situations.

However, no matter how smart and talented Yang Qi is, once she comes into contact with people in the royal family, her advantages will most likely become useless.

After all, in an environment like the royal family, the difference in status cannot be ignored. No matter how smart Yang Qi is, she cannot change the status gap between herself and the royal family members.

This difference in status is like an unbridgeable chasm that will turn all of Yang Qi's intelligence and talent into nothing.

Looking at the token in His Highness's hand, Yang Qi's eyes couldn't help but become red.

"Zhao Yi Ling" was specially made by the Empress Dowager for reward, demonstrating her supreme grace and honor.

As early as when he was studying with Mr. Yang, Yang Qi had heard of this token. It was rectangular, with slightly rounded corners and smooth and elegant lines, giving people a sense of dignity and grandeur. It was about eight inches long, four inches wide, and of moderate thickness. When held in the hand, it was just the right weight.

The objects that only appeared in the books now appeared before my eyes.

"Your Highness, Xiao Qi knows. When Your Highness is not in Kyoto, Xiao Qi will take good care of myself and the Queen's health." Yang Qi did not refuse and took the token. It was not only a guarantee from Your Highness, but also a reassurance for His Highness.

"I already know about my mother's condition. You have done very well.

I will set off for Jiangnan tomorrow afternoon, and I'm afraid it will take some time for me to come back.

You'll need to keep a closer eye on things in the capital.

If you need to contact me for something, you can give the letter to Pei'er, and he will deliver it to me as soon as possible."

Under the candlelight, Yuan Ruiyuan only felt that Yang Qi's eyes became brighter.

Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself has not noticed that since Yang Qi came back from Xihu, the way His Royal Highness looks at Yang Qi has gradually become gentler. There is no doubt or hesitation in his eyes, only pure trust.

"Set off tomorrow?" Yang Qi murmured softly, as if he had not yet recovered from the words just spoken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

She slowly walked to the medicine cabinet beside her, which was filled with all kinds of medicine bottles and boxes.

Yang Qi stood in front of the medicine cabinet, her eyes fixed on a small box. She gently reached out and took out the box. The surface of the box was smooth and delicate, exuding a faint herbal aroma.

Yang Qi carefully held the box in her hands, walked to the front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then gently placed the box in his palm. She raised her head, looked into His Royal Highness's eyes, and said softly: "Your Highness, these days in the Queen's Palace, Xiao Qi specially prepared some medicinal herbs.

This trip to Jiangnan is a long one and full of dangers. Please take these medicines with you in case of emergency."

Yang Qi's voice was clear and gentle, like a spring breeze, gently brushing past the ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Her eyes revealed a trace of concern and worry, which moved people.

Then, Yang Qi introduced the purpose and usage of each bottle of medicine to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in detail, and specially marked the boxes to ensure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could use the medicines accurately when needed.

Although everything is complicated now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still able to calm down and listen to Yang Qi's introduction word by word. His eyes are always on Yang Qi, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashes in his eyes.
