Chapter 294 Dare you?
Ye Qing'an turned around and got into the carriage, instructing it to return to the manor.
Yi Moxu and Eleven stood there, watching the carriage drive away and the streets become lively again. Only then did Eleven look up at Yi Moxu: "Uncle Xu, the trouble Ye Feiran caused this time seems to be quite serious. And I think that although this matter seems to be targeting Ye Feiran, it is actually also targeting Mother. Shouldn't we go and help Mother?"
“Of course we will go.” Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes. “But if we stay by your mother’s side, with countless people watching us, we might have to go directly to the palace with Ye Qinghao later. Our movements will be restricted, which will make many things inconvenient.”
Eleven nodded seriously, like a little adult: "I knew Uncle Xu wouldn't abandon Mother, but now that Mother has returned to the manor... If it's really as Uncle Xu predicted, and Mother has been taken to the palace by Ye Qinghao to confront him there, what should we do to help Mother? Should we sneak into the palace too?"
Eleven tilted her head: "But the palace shouldn't be so easy to break into, right?"
“We won’t break into the palace.” Yi Moxu squinted at the lanterns in the distance. “If I take you to break into the palace, your mother will probably be angry with me.”
"This matter is not too difficult to resolve."
Eleven blinks, isn't that easy? But why does he feel that this is so, so difficult?
After all, those words did indeed come from Ye Feiran's mouth.
Moreover, since so many people had heard it with their own ears, the Emperor could easily find someone to ask.
Although he was young, he knew that what Ye Feiran said was utterly rebellious. If it were an ordinary person, even if their head were looked at on the spot, no one would dare to say anything.
Yi Moxu seemed to see the confusion in Shiyi's eyes, so he picked her up and carried her to a nearby stall selling lanterns: "Shall I buy you a tiger lantern?"
Yi Moxu looked at the lanterns displayed on the stall: "There are quite a few styles of these lanterns that children can drag around and play with. Besides rabbit lanterns, there are tiger, lion, frog and all sorts of other kinds. Which one do you like?"
Shiyi stared wide-eyed; how could he possibly be in the mood to buy lanterns now?
His mother was implicated by Fei Ran that night, and he didn't know how she was doing. He was extremely worried.
Yi Moxu, however, seemed to be able to read minds: "With so many people around, there are always ears on the other side of the wall."
Although it was only eight words, Eleven quickly understood: "So Uncle Xu means that there are still people following us? Are we going to put on a show?"
"Ah."
It was eleven o'clock. He nodded, his body stiffening. He didn't dare look around anymore, but only glanced at the lanterns on the stall opposite him: "I'll take a tiger lantern. Tigers look more imposing."
“Okay.” Yi Moxu nodded: “One tiger lamp.”
"Alright," the vendor replied. "My tiger lanterns are the most exquisitely crafted in the entire Xingyue Lake area. They're one tael of silver each."
Yi Moxu handed over the silver and accepted the lantern.
After handing the lantern to Eleven, Yi Moxu looked around and then walked straight toward a restaurant in the distance. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone around him to hear clearly.
“I noticed you didn’t eat much at the family dinner earlier. Let’s go to the restaurant across the street and get something to eat. Don’t worry about your mother. She’s very clever and will definitely be able to get through this. Eat well and have fun, but don’t cry. If your mother finds out I didn’t comfort you, she might be angry with me.”
Shiyi lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected, and simply nodded with a pout.
Yi Moxu took Eleven into the restaurant and asked for a private room. As soon as they entered the room, Yi Moxu put Eleven down.
Eleven hurriedly asked, "Uncle Xu, there are no outsiders here now, right? Can you tell me how to save my mother?"
“It’s very simple.” Yi Moxu used his spiritual power to probe the surroundings: “Your mother asked me to drug Ye Feiran so that even if Ye Feiran wakes up, he will be in a crazy and incoherent state.”
"However, if only Ye Feiran is in this state, the Emperor will surely think that someone has tampered with things to exonerate Ye Feiran. But if people in the city are in this state one after another, it would be best if some noble families and powerful people were involved. We need to find a way to make them all act like this, talking nonsense and even saying some shocking and rebellious things."
"The law does not punish the masses." A dark glint flashed in Yi Moxu's eyes: "When the news reaches the palace, your mother and Ye Feiran will be exonerated."
Eleven's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he nodded repeatedly: "Great, great! I think that's a good idea. But I know Uncle Xu, you're a healer, and you have the medicine on you, but how can we drug all those people?"
Yi Moxu laughed: "Those aristocratic and powerful people, even when they go out to see the lanterns, will definitely be accompanied by guards. Moreover, there are many people everywhere outside. If someone gets close, they will be very vigilant. There are probably not many people like Ye Feiran who rush into crowded places without guards. It will probably not be easy to take him down by force."
"However, we have top-secret weapons."
"What?" Eleven's emotions had been completely stirred up by Yi Moxu: "What top-secret weapon do we have?"
"Then... it's you."
"Me?" Eleven blinked, raised her hand and pointed to the tip of her nose: "Is Uncle Xu talking about me? But what kind of secret weapon am I?"
“You are.” The window of the private room was open, and Yi Moxu’s gaze fell on the colorful lanterns hanging outside: “You are a child, a child who is only four years old.”
"Generally speaking, the people least likely to be on guard against children are the youngest children. The younger the child, the less likely they are to arouse suspicion."
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on Eleven's face: "When the time comes, I will ask my men to help us find out which powerful and influential families live in this area. Then I will tell you, and you can pretend to run around. I will pretend to chase after you, and then you can take the opportunity to get close to those people and put the drug on them."
Yi Moxu's fingers twitched slightly: "Do you dare?"
"Of course I dare." Eleven straightened his chest: "Uncle Xu, didn't you say that I am much stronger than other children my age? I will protect my mother well. Don't worry, Uncle Xu, I will definitely take care of this matter."
Yi Moxu slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "Okay, when your mother comes back, I'll tell her that you helped her."
