After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Chapter 444 Is it really that simple? Yes, it's that simple!

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Jiang Xiaoqi walked directly to Lin Qi's bedside.

He took out the white porcelain bottle that had been stuffed into Lin Qi's arms when they were at the First Prince's residence and removed the stopper.

He poured out two small, light gray pills, then pinched Lin Qi's chin and threw the pills in.

The Lin couple, who witnessed everything, didn't even have time to react. What did they eat?

What did you feed Qi'er?

"Lord Jiang, what kind of medicine is this? How did it end up in Qi'er's arms?"

Madam Lin still asked, "You can't just take medicine haphazardly. We haven't even had the imperial physician examine us yet!"

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just the antidote for his drug. I found it when the First Prince was searching for it, and in a moment of panic, I stuffed it into Lin Qi's arms."

I was worried you'd find out when you got back. It's my fault, though; there wasn't a chance to speak in that situation.

Minister Lin's thoughts returned, and he suddenly remembered that an ordinary-looking servant had approached him while he was carrying Qi'er.

It turns out to be Jiang Xiuzhuan in disguise! He really has some skill to have managed to find the antidote.

"Lord Jiang, how many pills are in this porcelain bottle?"

When Minister Lin asked that question, Jiang Xiaoqi immediately understood.

He smuggled out another thirty-four pills directly from his spatial storage, filling the small porcelain bottle in his hand to the brim.

Anyway, no one had ever touched this porcelain bottle, so they didn't know that there were only two pills inside before.

After filling the medicine bottle, Jiang Xiaoqi shook it in a mock manner. "There should be a lot left. Does Lord Lin want to send it over to all the gentlemen?"

It would be best to repackage them and send them out at the same time; that would be more efficient.

"Yes, Madam. Have someone pour out all the medicine and see if there are enough for thirty-four pills. If there are, send two pills to each family."

Madam Lin instructed her most meticulous and nimble maid to find a white porcelain plate, and then had seventeen porcelain vases of various colors brought to her.

"Madam, there are exactly thirty-four pills."

The maid counted quickly and was pleasantly surprised to find that the number of pills in the porcelain bottle was just enough.

"Okay, divide it into seventeen portions and put them into these bottles. Make sure the bottle stoppers are tightly sealed."

While the maid was preparing the medicine, Lin Qi coughed a few times, instantly drawing Madam Lin's attention back.

"Qi'er, my child, are you about to wake up?"

Lin Qi did not disappoint Madam Lin; as expected, he slowly opened his eyes after the coughing stopped.

With a hoarse voice, she called out "Mother," and tears streamed down Madam Lin's face like beads from a broken string.

Although Minister Lin didn't actually cry, his eyes were clearly red. Out of pride, he held back his tears.

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't know if it was too much of a mood killer to say that crying could help detox at this time, so he simply held back and didn't say anything.

Well, a real man should be patient; it's good for his health.

Lin Qi's stomach was empty, and he refrained from eating for the next three or four meals, but he still couldn't resist the sedative in the air.

I was hungry, but for some reason I had no appetite.

This is a side effect of the drug; it will probably take several days for his appetite to return.

After eating so many meals mixed with sleeping pills and muscle relaxants, it's normal to have a resistance to food now.

The seventeen medicine bottles were delivered one by one by the Lin family servants to seventeen different households, and one by one the sleeping "Sleeping Beauties," or rather, sleeping princes, awoke.

Like Lin Qi, none of them had much of an appetite.

They can only start with vegetables and white porridge, and eat some liquid food.

Those who could be chosen and abducted by the eldest prince were either the eldest son of a family or the only son of an official.

Even if we don't say they grew up in luxury, they were certainly pampered and cared for from a young age.

This unexpected misfortune may be the greatest suffering these young noblemen have ever endured in their lives.

In terms of the official positions held by his father and grandfather, Lin Qi was considered the most prestigious among the noble young men.

However, Lin Qi suffered the most, so he recovered faster than everyone else.

While others were still resting in bed, Lin Qi had already taken his spear and returned to his own training ground to begin recovering his strength.

These days, being huddled in such a small place, I feel like my whole body is rusty.

After taking the medicine and undergoing two or three days of conditioning, Lin Qi felt that he was back to normal.

He wielded the long spear with great skill and power, while the servant standing to the side wore an expression of deep worry.

The young master is just so strong-willed. He was lying in bed weak and exhausted just two days ago, but today he wants to play with guns and sticks, and there's no way to stop him!

Just as Lin Qi was having a great time, Jiang Xiaoqi, who had finished his shift, arrived and went straight to the training ground.

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoqi, the servant rushed forward as if he had seen a savior, saying, "Lord Jiang, please persuade the young master; he is not fully recovered yet."

Lin Qi stopped what he was doing, looked at Jiang Xiaoqi, and raised an eyebrow: "Lord Jiang, you've come at the right time. Let's exchange a few blows!"

Jiang Xiaoqi smiled and directly pulled out a long spear from the weapon rack.

Using short weapons at this point would be foolish, wouldn't it? Every inch longer, every inch stronger!

"Young master, take it easy, don't hurt yourself!"

"I know my own body well; it's not that delicate!"

Jiang Xiaoqi withdrew the force in his hand, using only three or four tenths of his strength. To his surprise, Lin Qi recovered quite quickly.

He couldn't help but increase the force, using five-tenths of his strength.

Lin Qi knew Jiang Xiaoqi's strength, so he didn't try to be brave. Five points was fine. Once he was fully recovered, he wouldn't need Jiang Xiaoqi to go easy on him like this.

After a brief exchange, Lin Qi was covered in a thin layer of sweat, while Jiang Xiaoqi had only warmed up.

The two sat down on armchairs by the field, and Lin Qi wiped his sweat while asking himself the questions that had been bothering him.

"Why would His Majesty the Emperor appoint you to handle this case? It's no easy task."

"Yes, even you, someone who's not in court, know this isn't a good job. It truly is a terrible job."

"I'm being serious with you. Although the First Prince has been demoted to a commoner, it seems that the opera troupe and the men in black really have nothing to do with him."

The few survivors are currently detained in the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review, and it will probably be difficult to get anything out of them. Since these people are alive, they are either being used or are on the fringes of the assassination plot.

Those who knew the inside story were all killed that day.

Jiang Xiaoqi raised an eyebrow, showing rare respect for his former classmate. This man, though no longer in court, was remarkably perceptive.

"Alright, these are things I should worry about. You just focus on taking care of your health and don't worry about these trivial matters."

"Hey! What do you mean by 'nonsense'? If it weren't for saving me, would you have entered the First Prince's residence? If you hadn't gone in, would you have gotten yourself into such a hot potato?"

"there's always a solution to any problem."

Lin Qi was speechless; he was like an emperor who wasn't worried but a eunuch who was!
