Chapter 445: The Reason for Indulgence
After listening to Yang Qi's introduction, Yuan Ruiyuan took the box with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I have written down everything I should remember.
As for you, you suffered a loss at Yuan Qi's hands today. Have you figured out what to do?"
Previously, when Yang Qi was in the Mansion of Duke Song, she could only act cautiously, thinking carefully and planning meticulously about everything, because she did not have the love of her grandmother and the head of the family, nor the support of her powerful maternal family.
Now, after going through several things, Yuan Ruiyuan has already regarded Yang Qi as his close person, but since the time is not yet ripe, it is inconvenient for him to reveal this relationship in front of everyone too early, so as not to bring more unnecessary troubles and troubles to Xiao Qi.
But this does not mean that Yuan Ruiyuan can sit idly by and allow others to do whatever they want when they bully Yang Qi.
Mentioning this, Yang Qi said sarcastically: "Before entering the palace, Xiao Qi only heard that Concubine Hua doted on Princess Yuan Qi, which is why Princess Yuan Qi developed such a spoiled personality.
But today, after close contact with Yuan Qi, Xiao Qi discovered the problem.
Although Xiaoqi did not check Yuanqi's pulse today, I did not miss the spicy smell of Yuanqi during the brief contact with Gongdao. "
"Asarum?" Yuan Ruiyuan was a little curious.
Although as the crown prince, Yuan Ruiyuan had some knowledge of astronomy, geography, and even medicine, he was not proficient in medicine.
Seeing Yuan Ruiyuan's confusion, Yang Qi explained in detail: "Asarum is pungent in taste and warm in nature. It enters the heart, lung, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of dispelling cold, dispelling wind and relieving pain, opening the orifices, warming the lungs and transforming fluid. It is often used for colds, headaches, toothaches, rheumatic pain, etc.
Only by following the appropriate dosage and course of treatment can its effectiveness be exerted.
However, if you take an overdose or use the drug for too long, you may experience headaches, vomiting, and irritability.
I think Yuan Qi has become more and more arrogant because he has consumed too much asarum in recent years.
I have also received confirmation from the Queen."
If the Queen had not mentioned that Yuan Qi had originally been kind, Yang Qi would not have been completely sure that it was the effect of the drug.
"Huh, this is really absurd!" It is really unbelievable that Yuan Qi was drugged.
In this palace, the only person who has such means and motives is probably Concubine Hua.
You know, when the princes and princesses in the palace see Your Majesty, which one of them is not respectful and polite?
However, only Yuan Qi dared to shout and yell in front of His Majesty without any scruples.
But who would have thought that it was precisely this kind of behavior that made His Majesty feel that the princess was innocent and lively, and he loved her especially much.
Moreover, Yuan Qi has always been arrogant and wants to compete with Yuan Yi in everything.
Hua Fei must have noticed these two points, which is why she attacked Yuan Qi and drugged her.
After all, if Yuan Qi can continue to gain the favor of His Majesty, it will be a great benefit to Concubine Hua.
There are so many dirty things in this palace! The father harms the son, and the mother takes advantage of him.
Yuan Ruiyuan couldn't help but shook his head: "Originally, I thought that Concubine Hua had some true feelings for Yuan Qi, but now it seems that I was too naive and she was just using me.
It's just a pity that Yuan Qi is loyal to Concubine Hua and Yuan Ruiyin."
Changing the subject, Yuan Ruiyuan looked at Yang Qi in front of him and asked curiously, "Now that things have turned out like this, what are your plans now?"
Yang Qi blinked, stared at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his eyes firm and serious, and said slowly: "If it were in the past, Xiao Qi would definitely retaliate without mercy.
I will definitely secretly add fuel to the fire around Yuan Qi, causing her emotions to spiral out of control and the situation to become even worse.
However, doing so may backfire.
Once Yuan Qi's emotions get out of control to a certain extent, Concubine Hua will definitely abandon this adopted daughter without hesitation. In this way, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but it may also alert Concubine Hua and Yuan Ruiyin. "
Yang Qi paused, then continued: "However, Your Highness, if you intend to use Yuan Qi as a starting point, then this incident may not be an excellent opportunity.
Although Yuan Qi is currently loyal to Concubine Hua, people can change.
Once she learned that Concubine Hua had completely disregarded her own health in order to win favor, she would surely have some rebellious thoughts in her heart.
As long as there is even the slightest rift between Hua Fei and Yuan Qi, it will give us an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Listening to Yang Qi's well-reasoned analysis, Yuan Ruiyuan's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes full of appreciation, and he said loudly: "Life is like a chess game, and everyone is a chess piece.
Although Yuan Qi is a bit arrogant and brainless, if used properly, he could be a sharp blade that could pierce Hua Fei's heart."
Yuan Ruiyuan slowly turned his head and looked out the window. It was already late. The candlelight in the Qianqing Palace emitted little starlight in the darkness. He nodded slightly and said to Yang Qi, "It's already late today." His voice was low and gentle, "You should also rest early. I will set off for Jiangnan tomorrow. There are many matters in the imperial city that need to be arranged one by one.
Today, I will return to the palace first."
Yang Qi stood quietly by the side. She knew that His Highness was under a lot of pressure at the moment.
Jiangnan and the Imperial City, the pressure from these two places was like a huge rock pressing on his shoulders.
In such an urgent situation, he was able to put aside the complicated matters in his hands. Just because he was worried that she might be wronged by Yuan Qi, he hurried into the palace to visit her in the middle of the night.
This care and concern brought a warm feeling to Yang Qi's heart.
A pair of clear eyes locked onto the Crown Prince's face, as if wanting to engrave every detail of his features in their hearts.
Her usually lively eyes were now filled with reluctance. In an inexplicable impulse, Yang Qi suddenly hugged the Crown Prince in front of her, smelling the familiar bamboo fragrance on the Crown Prince's body, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, you must be careful and cautious on your trip to Jiangnan. Xiao Qi will wait for you in the Imperial City to recover Jiangnan and return triumphantly."
Yang Qi's sudden action made Yuan Ruiyuan stunned for a moment. When he felt the warmth coming from his chest, he gently raised his hand and slowly embraced Yang Qi in his arms, feeling her slight trembling: "Don't worry, I will be careful about everything."
In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the flickering candlelight creates a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
The Queen was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, leaning against a soft pillow, with a thick quilt covering her legs. Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was taking a nap, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
However, the sound of light footsteps broke the silence.
The Queen slowly opened her eyes and her gaze fell on Rong Pei who walked into the hall.
Rong Pei walked to the Queen's side with a smile on her face and said softly, "Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the palace."
The Queen smiled slightly, and her tone revealed a hint of concern: "How long has he been with Yang Qi's child?"
Rong Pei replied respectfully: "Your Highness stayed in Miss Yang Qi's room for quite a while and has now returned to the East Palace."
The Queen Mother smiled helplessly, and couldn't help sighing in her heart: "This child..." She couldn't help but think of her son who had always been alone and had a somewhat withdrawn personality, which made her quite worried.
However, it now seems that the prince has actually done some desperate things for the woman he loves.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the Queen's face.
She knew that her son was truly in love with Yang Qi.
For Yang Qi, he even risked entering the palace late at night and specially asked for a Zhao Yi Ling to give to her, so that Yang Qi would have someone to rely on when he was not in the capital.
You know, this Zhaoyi Order is an extremely precious item, and only the Empress is qualified to grant it.
