Chapter 647 It's in Your Heart
"Oh? What did you find out?"
“Hmm…” Ye Qing’an stammered, “I didn’t find anything. The people I bribed all said that they had been in the capital all along and knew about Liu Enze in roughly the same way. The most famous thing about Liu Enze was that he became the Grand Tutor and allowed the Liu family to do business.”
"Then... I was tormented by love, and the love-hate relationship between my mother and Ye Qinghao. I know nothing else."
Seeing that Ye Qing'an's eyes were darting around and she dared not look at him, Yi Moxu felt a little curious. He simply raised his hand and pinched Ye Qing'an's chin, forcing her to look at him: "Why won't you look at me? Could it be that you lied to me about something?"
Ye Qing'an rolled her eyes and sneered, "You're overthinking it."
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and slapped his hand away: "Doesn't Your Excellency ever look in a mirror? Don't you know how striking your face is?"
"Your Excellency can try it on anyone, male or female, and see if they can remain calm and composed under your gaze?"
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Moxu was suddenly delighted. He tried to suppress it, but the corners of his mouth still turned up slightly: "Really? Does Madam mean to praise my good looks? Does Madam think I'm good-looking?"
Ye Qing'an rolled her eyes, almost gritting her teeth: "Does the Venerable One not know whether he is good-looking or not?"
"Do you have to be told what to do? Do you have to be praised? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and chuckled, "It's not that I need others to say it, I just want to hear you say it. After all, you are my wife, so naturally you are different from others."
"..." Ye Qing'an stepped back a little, her cheeks inexplicably burning.
Ye Qing'an bit her lip. No, Yi Moxu had only said something ordinary, so why did she feel like she couldn't take it?
This is not okay.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, forcing herself to shift her attention: "After asking many people and receiving the same answer, I started to wonder if it's because Liu Enze has too many people watching him in the capital—those in the palace, those from the four major families, and others..."
"Because so many eyes were watching him, if Liu Enze made even the slightest mistake in Wangjing City, he would be discovered. Therefore, Liu Enze tried every means to put on an act in Wangjing City so that no one would find out anything."
Yi Moxu tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Can a person act forever? And if he really didn't do anything, how could he contact the other Night Elves, and how could he build up his own power?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "That's why I said that Liu Enze only tried to perform operas when he was in Wangjing City."
"But Liu Enze isn't always in Wangjing City, is he? In fact, because he's often heartbroken, he can't help but seek solace in nature, retreating to the mountains and forests, and traveling around from time to time. So, in the last ten years or so, Liu Enze hasn't spent much time in Wangjing City; he's spent more time traveling around."
"This also led to Liu Enze's mysterious image among the people of Wangjing City."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "I suspect that Liu Enze knows there are people watching him everywhere in Wangjing City, so he puts on an act in Wangjing City. Once he leaves Wangjing City, he will try to contact other Night Elves and cultivate his own power, using Night Elves to manipulate things..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "So, I think we need to investigate carefully what Liu Enze has been doing, where he has been, and who he has met during the time he was away from Wangjing City."
Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: "If we want to find out who Liu Enze saw, where he went, and what he did when he was not in Wangjing City, that will be even more difficult."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "It's not easy, but his identity is still extraordinary. The places he's been and the people he's met might be hard to trace, but there will always be some clues. We can follow those clues to investigate further..."
Ye Qing'an blinked: "Over the past few years, the Venerable One has been cultivating his own power. Since the people of Li Huo Pavilion were able to infiltrate Wangjing City and Anzhi City, they should have people in other cities as well, right?"
"If you have all of these, then it shouldn't be too difficult for Your Excellency to investigate anything you want, right?"
"If Your Excellency makes good use of the people under your command, even if you don't find out all of Liu Enze's whereabouts, finding out a part of them should be quite easy, right?"
Yi Moxu couldn't help but laugh out loud at Ye Qing'an's constant address of "Lord" and the flattery.
"In your eyes, Madam, am I omnipotent? Six years is enough time for me to establish my influence in every city throughout the entire Siyou Kingdom?"
Ye Qing'an possesses the Huohuang Pavilion, which has a history of several hundred years and boasts a highly sophisticated information gathering system. Everything about Liu Enze is already stored in the Huohuang Pavilion.
She said that only to tease Yi Moxu.
Therefore, upon hearing Yi Moxu's question, he nodded almost without hesitation: "Yes, that's for sure. I have absolute and unconditional faith in the Lord."
"If the Lord could place so many people in Anzhi City, even replacing the people in Anzhi City with his own people, and even build such an underground labyrinth in Anzhi City, then other things are naturally not a problem either."
Yi Moxu naturally realized that Shenye was just teasing him. He didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh. He just stared at Ye Qing'an and said, "Although I can't guarantee it, I can do my best."
As Yi Moxu spoke, he picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then looked up at Ye Qing'an: "In the past six years, I have indeed placed quite a few people in various cities of Siyou Kingdom."
"To gather information, and to make plans for the future."
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent, but Ye Qing'an inexplicably sensed a hint of loneliness in his expression.
Ye Qing'an's fingers curled slightly; what was she doing...?
The joke went too far and accidentally touched a nerve with Yi Moxu.
Ye Qing'an coughed lightly, about to explain, when she heard Yi Moxu continue, "But do you know where in this world I most want to place someone? What information do I most want to find out?"
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "The place you most want to place your people in is the palace?"
"What you most want to find out is news about Yi Yun Kui?"
“Wrong.” Yi Moxu shook his head: “The place I most want to place someone in is your heart. What I most want to find out is your thoughts about me.”
