Chapter 536 Ready to go
This is true.
Ye Qing'an paused slightly, then suddenly remembered that Yi Moxu had been in Wangjing five years ago.
Having plotted for so many years, they must have had a plan in mind long ago.
As Ye Qing'an was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
There was a commotion outside. Ye Qing'an frowned, lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. Qingdai, who was following outside the carriage, quickly said, "Someone has injured someone on horseback and is causing a disturbance."
Ye Qing'an glanced in that direction, but the crowd was too dense to see clearly. Not particularly interested, Ye Qing'an instructed the carriage driver to turn around and find a side alley to take a detour.
The carriage had already turned around, and Ye Qing'an was about to lower the curtain when she suddenly stopped, her gaze falling on something not far away.
Yi Moxu noticed Ye Qing'an suddenly stop: "What's wrong?"
“I saw Ye Zirui.”
"Hmm?" Yi Moxu sat up and looked in the direction Ye Qing'an was looking, but did not see Ye Zirui.
"They're blocked by the crowd." Ye Qing'an lowered the carriage curtain, seemingly lost in thought: "Ye Zirui is with the Fifth Prince."
"Ye Zirui? And Yixiao?"
"Ah."
Yi Moxu pondered for a moment: "Ye Zirui and Yi Xiao are both members of the Crown Prince's camp on the surface, so it is quite normal for them to have interactions. Moreover, if they really had something shady to do and needed to meet and discuss, they would not have chosen to do so in broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of everyone."
Ye Qing'an nodded, but made a mental note of it.
After all, although Liu Xueying was dead, there were still no clues about the mastermind behind Liu Xueying and Ye Zirui, so she naturally wouldn't let go of any clues.
……
The next few days were quite calm, largely because everyone was observing the situation.
Before they knew it, the day had arrived for Ye Qing'an to join the army on his expedition.
Early in the morning, Ye Qing'an was summoned to Ye Qinghao's presence.
"His Majesty's decision to have you join the army this time is not because he truly wants you to fight on the battlefield and achieve great merit, but simply to legitimately pin the blame for the Gu family's affair on Yi Moxu."
"So, once you're in camp, listen and observe more, and speak and do less. Even if you do nothing, no one will say anything about you. Don't get involved in the messy things in the camp, and don't easily take sides. Your most important thing is to stay safe."
Ye Qing'an appeared to be listening attentively, but her eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Throughout the journey and after you enter the camp, you will be surrounded by my people. They will contact you when the time comes, and you can contact them if you need anything."
Ye Qing'an responded softly, but secretly thought that Ye Qinghao was probably afraid too.
Fearing that now that she had become a supreme being, she would be like a kite flying away once she left Wangjing City, Ye Qinghao intended to firmly hold the kite string in his hand by placing people around her.
“I’ve already explained most of the other matters, so I won’t go into details.” Ye Qinghao looked at Ye Qing’an’s submissive appearance, but he was still uneasy. He emphasized the bargaining chip he held in his hand again: “You can rest assured that Eleven is in the Ye residence. I will definitely not let anything happen to him.”
“Of course I believe in Father, but…” Ye Qing’an took a deep breath and raised her eyes, her eyes misty with tears: “Eleven is my life. If something happens to him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on. Please, Father, make sure to keep a close eye on him for me.”
"Don't worry." Seeing Ye Qing'an's expression, Ye Qinghao was slightly relieved and waved his hand, "Alright, we're leaving in an hour. Go back and give the people in the courtyard some more instructions. Oh, and remember to pay your respects to Abbot Minghua when we arrive at Huguo Temple."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an withdrew and returned to her own courtyard.
Eleven followed behind Ye Qing'an, silent and looking dejected.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and ruffled Eleven's hair, then called over Granny Wei and Zixiao.
"Eleven will stay in the manor. Among the people in our courtyard, the two of you are the ones I trust the most. You must take good care of Eleven for me."
"Yes, Miss, please rest assured. We will definitely take good care of the young master. While you are not in the manor, the two of us will take turns guarding him every step of the way."
Ye Qing'an nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Among the other people in the courtyard, there are quite a few other people from the mansion, including people that Liu Xueying had previously placed there. I'm not here, but Eleven is still in the courtyard. I really can't trust those people in the courtyard. You should discuss it with the steward and it would be best to dismiss all the useless ones. That way, there will be fewer people, but we'll feel more at ease."
"Yes."
"Qingdai..."
When Granny Wei heard this name, her eyelashes fluttered slightly. She didn't know why, but even though she had been keeping an eye on Qingdai while Ye Qing'an was in the mansion, she hadn't seen Qingdai and Ye Qing'an get close. Yet, she inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
"Qingdai has only been in the household for a short time. Although she seems to be doing things quite well so far, I still can't rest easy. However, I bought Qingdai before and didn't sign a contract with the household, so it wouldn't be appropriate to send her to other parts of the household. I'll have her come with me to Qian'an. Keeping her by my side will allow me to keep an eye on her and observe her more closely."
Granny Wei agreed in a low voice. Although it was indeed the best method, she felt inexplicably strange.
Ye Qing'an dismissed the servants before pulling Eleven into his arms: "Be careful in the manor. If you encounter any danger, retreat back to the Cloud Dream Realm immediately. I will visit you in the Cloud Dream Realm every night, and you can tell me anything. As for Jiu Xiao, I will have him visit the manor more often when he has free time. If you need anything, you can instruct him to handle it."
Nodding at eleven o'clock, he said, "Don't worry, Mother. Father told me before that this is a test for me. I will definitely live up to your and Father's expectations and do my best. Mother, you'll see..."
Eleven's eyes darted around, and she looked shrewd: "If anyone bullies me, I will definitely take revenge. If Ye Qinghao schemes against me, I will turn the Ye family upside down."
Ye Qing'an chuckled, "Okay."
Someone outside came to invite her: "Young Miss, the camp has sent someone to fetch you."
Ye Qing'an stood up and walked outside.
Eleven followed closely behind Ye Qing'an. Although she spoke with great bravado, when Ye Qing'an was about to leave, Eleven couldn't help but feel a little disappointed...
