Chapter 615 Just a deceptive tactic
"Ask, ask, ask!" Jiu Xiao replied repeatedly, "But can you lie down first? What do you need to do? Do you need to open the window? I'll open it for you..."
Ye Qing'an was even more speechless: "I'm just injured, I'm not crippled."
"Yes, I know." Jiu Xiao pushed the window open a little wider, and seeing that Ye Qing'an had finally sat back down and lay down properly, he let out a long sigh of relief: "But she's practically crippled now."
"After all, being disabled only means your hands or feet are useless, but you have damaged all your internal organs."
"I have to protect you well, after all, I am your spirit beast. We have formed a spirit beast contract, so if you die, I die."
Jiuxiao patted his chest: "It's been less than a year since I was freed from the seal of this Cloud Dreamland. I haven't lived enough yet."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "Then you should indeed protect me. After all, if I die, you won't survive either. And if I live, you might not survive either. Whether you live or not depends entirely on my mood."
"..."
Angry.
However, Jiu Xiao had to admit that what Ye Qing'an said was true.
Jiu Xiao glared angrily at Ye Qing'an and decided not to dwell on the topic any further.
He just snorted softly, "Are you going to ask me or not?"
Ye Qing'an didn't say anything else: "During the time I was unconscious, did you go out?"
What's the situation outside right now?
“I knew you’d ask that.” Jiu Xiao chuckled, then added, “I’ve been traveling all over the place lately.”
"At the Siyou Kingdom's camp, it is said that in the past few days, no one knows what Liu Enze said to the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince now trusts Liu Enze very much and almost listens to his every word."
"However, you have only been gone for three days, and the two armies are still just facing each other, without any direct conflict or battle."
"But... I heard from Qingdai that in the past few days, the camp has sent out four or five teams to their rear, but we don't know what they're doing there."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. What were you doing...?
Ye Qing'an had previously suggested to the Crown Prince that troops be dispatched from the camp under the pretext of procuring provisions, and then circled around to the enemy's rear and flanks to encircle Anzhi City.
Perhaps, that's exactly what the Crown Prince is thinking right now.
"Furthermore, I have heard that the Crown Prince was furious when you disappeared and sent many people to search for you."
"They even sent troops to challenge the rebels in Anzhi City, demanding that they hand you over."
"However, we don't know what Yi Moxu is planning, he just ignores the Siyou Kingdom's army's challenges."
Jiuxiao pondered for a moment: "Is it because Yimoxu has been staying here, and there is no one in charge in Anzhi City? So the rebels in Anzhi City are leaderless and can only hide in the city and ignore it?"
"No." Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "Yi Moxu wasn't here either, but the rebels still managed to capture two cities, didn't they?"
"Too."
"But you can ask Yi Moxu directly about the specifics."
After finishing that, Jiuxiao added, "Yiyun Kui..."
After saying the name, Jiuxiao stopped, seemingly unsure where to begin.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Has Yi Yun Kui made any moves lately?"
Jiu Xiao shook his head: "That's exactly why I find it strange, since Yi Yun Kui hasn't made any moves lately."
"I've heard that Yi Yun Kui has recently become obsessed with alchemy. He's brought several alchemists into the palace to make pills for him, and he stays in the palace all day long, making pills and taking them with the alchemists."
"Moreover, Yi Yun Kui has also brought four top-grade furnace cauldrons into the palace, and they indulge in revelry every night."
Ye Qing'an was somewhat surprised: "An alchemist? A furnace cauldron?"
“Yes.” Jiu Xiao nodded: “I got the information from Lan Qing’s brothel. The information was collected by the girls in the brothel from some court officials, so it should be true.”
"Furthermore, I secretly sneaked into the palace twice, once during the day and once at night. The time I went during the day, I learned that the Emperor was in the alchemy room. The time I went at night, I learned that the Emperor was practicing dual cultivation with his alchemy furnace."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Yi Yun Kui had already learned about Ye Mei's matter from the people deliberately arranged by Yi Mo Xu, as well as from Ye Qing Hao.
Yi Yun Kui was extremely suspicious and cruel; it was impossible for him to remain indifferent upon learning of this matter.
But what about these messages and the information that Jiuxiao found out?
Ye Qing'an squinted, her eyes half-closed, and tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair.
If Yi Yun Kui didn't suddenly change his nature, then most likely all of this was just a deliberate tactic by Yi Yun Kui to deceive people.
What Yi Yun Kui is secretly planning is probably only known to him.
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment before raising his eyes and asking, "Do those alchemists, and the furnaces he used for dual cultivation, all live in the palace?"
“Naturally, they live in the palace.” Jiuxiao nodded: “And whether they are alchemists or furnace cauldrons, they are all in a very high position, probably because they have recently been favored by Yiyun Kui.”
"They lived in their own palaces and were served by countless maids and eunuchs."
Ye Qing'an chuckled, while palace maids and eunuchs attended to her.
I'm afraid it's not serving them, but monitoring them.
"Do you have a way to get close to those furnaces or alchemists?"
"If it's just about getting close, that's not difficult. But you certainly don't just want to get close, do you?"
Jiuxiao said smugly, "I've been by your side for so long, I've already seen through your heart."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "I want you to get close to those alchemists and furnace cauldrons, and then ask them what exactly they do every day while serving Yi Yun Kui?"
"Interrogation?" Jiuxiao blinked. "But there are restrictions in the palace; we can't use spiritual power..."
"Spiritual power?" Ye Qing'an scoffed. "Have you been in human form for so long that you've forgotten you even have a real original form?"
"Back in the manor, weren't you quite good at scaring those who bullied me?"
Jiuxiao immediately understood the meaning behind Ye Qing'an's words and became excited: "This is good, this is good, I like it."
As Jiuxiao spoke, he looked up at the library below: "Yi Moxu has cooked porridge for you. Tsk, Yi Moxu has completely overturned my understanding of him in these three days."
"I'm leaving now. I need to find a way to get into the palace, and then... wait for the right opportunity to act."
As Jiuxiao spoke, he disappeared from the spot. Ye Qingan lay on the soft couch, recalling what Jiuxiao had just said, her heart feeling like it was being scratched by a cat.
Is Yimo Xu cooking porridge?
What does it look like?
Ye Qing'an tried to suppress her curiosity, but in the end, she succumbed to the overwhelming curiosity in her heart. She stood up, holding onto the handrail, and went to the window to look downstairs.
