Chapter 642 Waiting for the rabbit
Ye Qing'an nodded: "It is indeed not easy to find him in Anzhi City, but we don't necessarily have to find him among so many people in Anzhi City."
Seeing Yi Moxu turn to look at her, Ye Qing'an simply smiled and said, "We can wait and see."
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Moxu immediately understood: "Crown Prince?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Although one thing after another has happened these past few days, Liu Enze still doesn't know that his identity as Ye Mei has been exposed."
"The Crown Prince is someone that Night Enchantresses have gone to great lengths to bewitch. At most every half month, Liu Enze will need to perform a bewitching spell on the Crown Prince to keep him bewitched and make him obey them."
"As long as you stay by the Crown Prince's side, Liu Enze will show up on his own in half a month, or at the latest half a month."
Yi Moxu pondered for a moment: "Although Liu Enze needs to take the initiative to appear and use his bewitching technique on the Crown Prince, Liu Enze is skilled in disguise. If he disguises himself and approaches the Crown Prince, none of us will know."
“Yes, but the illusion technique requires at least three consecutive days…” Ye Qing’an had previously used the same method to deduce Liu Enze’s identity: “No matter who Liu Enze impersonates, he has to get close to the Crown Prince for three consecutive days.”
"I will have my men in the camp keep an eye out." Ye Qing'an had a plan in mind: "It would be best to find a way to prevent the Crown Prince from easily meeting people, so that we can better screen targets."
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "What if the Crown Prince is poisoned, or injured?"
"If the Crown Prince is poisoned or injured, the guards at the central army camp will certainly be even more stringent."
Yi Moxu chuckled and simply raised his hand to ruffle Ye Qing'an's hair: "That's a good idea. I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."
After a pause, he continued, "However, we still need to keep an eye on the situation in the city. If Liu Enze is in this camp, it's hard to guarantee that he won't use illusions to trap them, or use bewitching techniques to bewitch others in the city."
Ye Qing'an blinked: "If you trap someone in an illusion and they suddenly disappear, you should be able to receive the news, which would actually make it easier for them to be exposed."
"As for the bewitching spell..." Ye Qing'an smiled confidently and arrogantly: "If it is a bewitching spell, the conditions for casting it on someone who has never been bewitched before are even more stringent. You know, back then, Ye Zirui stayed in the Eastern Palace with the Crown Prince during his house arrest, accompanying him closely for more than two months in order to bewitch him."
"In these ten days or so, he can at most bewitch one person. Your Excellency, if you had one chance in this city to bewitch someone, who would you choose?"
Yi Moxu lifted his eyelids and pondered for a moment: "You, or me."
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded: "At the very least, he should be your right-hand man, Xing Jun, or He Chang'an."
"He can only target one person, so it's simple."
"We will simply not show up for the next ten days or so."
"Or Xing Jun and He Chang'an could also remain hidden and handle the affairs of the city from the shadows."
"Or, we could just leave a few disguised people in the city and let Liu Enze do whatever he wants."
Upon hearing this, Yi Moxu couldn't help but chuckle: "So you're planning to... hide?"
"Hide!" Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows, looking proud. "If you can't beat them, hide. After all, we know too little about Ye Mei. Hiding isn't shameful; losing is."
“It’s not shameful to hide, it’s shameful to lose.” Yi Moxu murmured these words, and after a while, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled: “What you say is very true, Madam. As for me, I am not as insightful as you are.”
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and said, "Then let's hide."
The two of them came out of the secret passage together and saw Xing Jun and He Chang'an waiting outside.
Ye Qing'an's gaze swept over the two of them before turning his head and saying, "If Your Excellency has anything to discuss with Young Master Xing and Uncle He, I'll take my leave now."
"Ah."
Yi Moxu agreed, and Ye Qing'an went straight back to the house, and then went to the Cloud Dreamland from the house.
In the dreamlike world of clouds, Eleven is teasing a rabbit.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Where did this rabbit come from?"
"Jiuxiao brought it in. It's just an ordinary rabbit that hasn't developed any spiritual awareness. Jiuxiao said I was too bored here and gave it to me to play with."
As she spoke, Eleven, carrying the rabbit, walked towards Ye Qing'an: "Mother, am I really not going back to the Ye residence in Wangjing?"
"I won't go back for now." Ye Qing'an smiled. She would eventually have to go back, after all, she still needed to stay at the Ye residence.
"You'll have to go back later, right?"
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded. "What's wrong? Why do you ask that?"
“It’s good that you want to go back. I still have quite a few things at the Ye residence, such as those little trinkets that Father gave me. They were all made by Father himself. I must take them back. I can’t just leave them at the Ye residence and let others benefit from them.”
Ye Qing'an chuckled, "That's alright, I'll just have Jiu Xiao go and get it back for you."
Jiu Xiao nodded from the side: "Go away, I'm just a gofer."
After saying that, he added, "However, since Eleven went missing, I've heard that the entire Ye Manor has been thrown into complete chaos."
"Ye Qinghao dispatched many people to search for Eleven's whereabouts, and even threw a tantrum in his mansion."
Ye Qing'an waved his hand dismissively: "Then let him be in a hurry."
“In a few days, when the news of my marriage to Yi Moxu reaches Wangjing, I guess his expression will be even better.”
Ye Qing'an's lips curled slightly, his expression almost devilish.
"Alright, you guys can continue playing here. I'm going to Li Huo Pavilion first. I'll be staying here often these next few days to cultivate and recuperate."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he disappeared into the Dreamland of Clouds.
Just as they arrived at Li Huo Pavilion and took a few steps, Yu Jie rushed over.
Seeing that only Ye Qing'an was there, Yu Jie paused in his steps: "Did the Lord's wife come by herself?"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. Why was Yu Jie starting to do this too, calling her "Master's Wife" all the time?
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, I'll come over and keep General Gu company."
Yu Jie hesitated for a moment, but Ye Qing'an had already walked towards the courtyard where Gu Duo lived, so he quickly followed.
Gu Duo was dozing in the courtyard when he heard the noise, so he opened his eyes and turned to look at her.
Ye Qing'an walked in: "General Gu? Or should I call you Prince Dingxi?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm nothing now anyway." Gu Duo turned his head back: "You came here to ask me who? Ye Qinghao? Liu Xueying? Or someone else?"
