Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 688 Making a Furnace for the Emperor

Ye Qing'an chuckled. The events that had just occurred at the border had not yet been reported back to Wangjing City.

At present, no one in Wangjing City knows that Ye Zirui and Ye Qinghao have fallen into her hands.

“When my father went to the camp, he learned that my marriage to Yi Moxu was entirely forced, so he tried every means to rescue me and sent me back to this mansion to wait for news.”

Granny Wei's mind raced for a moment before she hurried forward, saying, "I knew it, I knew you must have been forced, Miss. I told you before, now that you've become the Supreme One, there are countless people in the world who want you, who want to win you over and kidnap you. You must be extra careful."

Ye Qing'an nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right, the world is a dangerous place."

"Where is Zixiao?"

"Zixiao..." Granny Wei coughed lightly, "There's nothing urgent in the courtyard. Recently, due to various reasons, there's a shortage of servants in other parts of the mansion, so Sixth Madam has sent Zixiao to work in the laundry room."

Ye Qing'an glanced at Granny Wei. What she said sounded nice, but it was only because Zixiao was her person. She was afraid that Zixiao's accident would affect the Ye family, so she disposed of Zixiao.

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "But now that I'm back, I'm used to Zixiao's service. Go to the laundry room and call Zixiao back."

After thinking for a while, Granny Wei smiled and said, "The steward is not in the manor. The movement of servants in this manor still needs to go through the steward."

“Alright then.” Ye Qing’an bit her lip. “Father said he has already informed the steward that I am coming back. The steward should be arriving soon. Could you keep an eye on things for me? If the steward returns, please let me know.”

"Yes."

Ye Qing'an lifted her foot and walked into the house: "I'm a little tired. I've been traveling day and night. I'll go and rest for a while. You don't need to serve me."

"Yes."

Seeing Ye Qing'an enter the room, Granny Wei waited for a moment, then quietly walked to the window and glanced into the room.

Seeing that Ye Qing'an was indeed lying in bed asleep, Granny Wei quietly and quickly left the courtyard.

As soon as Granny Wei left, Ye Qing'an opened her eyes.

The butler arrived early the next morning.

The steward must have been exhausted from the journey; his forehead was covered in fine sweat, and he was still breathing heavily when he stood in front of Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qing'an smiled warmly: "Butler, you've worked hard. Did you know I was coming back and rushed back as soon as possible?"

"Actually, the housekeeper doesn't need to be in such a hurry. I can wait."

The butler pursed his lips. He had already inquired after returning to the manor, and Ye Qing'an had indeed arrived at the Ye residence yesterday; she hadn't lied...

Therefore, Ye Qing'an really could teleport thousands of miles away.

The butler took a deep breath; Ye Qing'an was much more formidable than he had imagined.

Although Ye Qing'an has always been Ye Qinghao's enemy and has ruined Ye Qinghao's appearance, cooperating with Ye Qing'an is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. However, now, he seems to have no other choice.

Although he was just a spirit beast, after living in this world as an ordinary person for so many years, he was also a little afraid... a little afraid of death.

The butler looked up at Ye Qing'an and asked, "When does Miss plan to enter the palace?"

"The sooner the better, of course."

The steward nodded: "Then this old servant will take the young lady to the palace first thing tomorrow morning. However... there are magical restrictions in the palace..."

“If the young lady can enter the palace on her own, things will be much simpler. If the young lady cannot enter the palace on her own... it doesn’t matter. Tomorrow, the palace maids from Consort Yun’s side will also leave the palace. At that time, the young lady can disguise herself as one of them to enter the palace.”

"Don't worry, as I said, I have an illusion, and I can go to the palace as well."

"Shall we meet in the palace tomorrow morning, in Consort Yun's palace?"

"Yes."

The next morning, Ye Qing'an casually found an excuse to leave the Ye residence and then entered the palace, where he soon met up with the steward.

The butler transformed into a white fox and followed Ye Qing'an.

There weren't many palace servants around. The white fox lowered its voice and said, "Since before..."

The white fox glanced at Ye Qing'an: "After the eldest young lady's incident in the palace implicated Consort Yun, Consort Yun has been neglected by the Emperor, and her place is quite deserted now."

"Consort Yun has always been unwilling to accept this and has come up with many ideas. Some time ago, before Master left Wangjing City, Consort Yun mentioned to Master through this old servant that she wanted someone to go there."

"Need someone?"

The white fox nodded: "I want a woman with excellent looks and figure, preferably... someone who can serve as a cultivation vessel to help the Emperor cultivate."

Ye Qing'an immediately understood: "To win favor for Consort Yun."

She had seen far too many things like this in the palace in her previous life.

The mistress was incompetent and unable to win the emperor's favor, so she found a maid or someone she could trust and control to fight for her.

The concubines in the palace all formed cliques and factions.

Once her people gain favor, she will also receive some benefits and have the opportunity to win the emperor's favor.

"Yes."

"Therefore, what I told Consort Yun was that the people I brought today are for this purpose."

Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Then you wait here. I'll go back, change my mask, and come back."

"it is good."

Ye Qing'an returned to the Dreamland of Clouds, and just as she had said, she changed her mask before coming back.

This human skin mask has a very beautiful and gentle appearance...

The white fox glanced at it and then nodded: "Excellent."

"Let's go."

The steward brought Ye Qing'an to Consort Yun. Consort Yun squinted and scrutinized Ye Qing'an for a long time before turning to the steward and asking, "Can she be a furnace cauldron?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured." The steward, still disguised as a white fox, said, "This person was personally chosen by the master; everything about him is of the highest quality."

"Well."

Consort Yun then looked at Ye Qing'an: "You've come at the right time. Tonight, there will be an opportunity."

Consort Yun placed the white fox beside her and stroked its fur casually: "The cauldron that the Emperor used before has lost its value. The Emperor has asked someone to find a new batch of cauldrons, which will be delivered to the Emperor tonight for him to choose from."

“I have used all my connections in the palace, and I will be able to place you among them.”

"However, whether you can attract His Majesty's attention and gain his favor depends entirely on your abilities."

"You should know that if a furnace is sent to the Emperor but fails to gain His Majesty's favor, its final fate will be extremely tragic."

"For example, they could be used as firewood, thrown into an alchemy furnace, to help the emperor refine elixirs..."

Ye Qing'an quickly agreed: "Yes, this servant will do her best..."

Evening is perfect.
