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

Chapter 681 A Gift

Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu left the tent together. After walking some distance, they suddenly heard the Crown Prince's furious voice: "Guards! Are you all dead? Why aren't you here yet?"

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Yi Moxu: "Do you think he will really do what we say?"

Yi Moxu curled the corners of his lips: "Yes."

"The Crown Prince is Yi Yun Kui's son. He may not have learned anything else, but he has learned Yi Yun Kui's suspicious nature. Although he may doubt whether what we say is true or false, he may also doubt Ye Zi Rui, Liu En Ze, and the matter of Ye Mei."

“Not only would he have doubts, he would also write to Yi Yun Kui about it.”

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Then, Crown Prince, will you be of any help to our plan?"

"The Crown Prince isn't actually that stupid, and the reason he's been able to stay in this position for so long is because he has some tricks up his sleeve. Don't worry, we can just wait and watch the show."

Ye Qing'an nodded and followed Yi Moxu back to Anzhi City.

For several days in a row, everything was very calm.

Then news came from Qingcheng: "Lord, Madam, we have discovered Ye Zirui's whereabouts in Qingcheng."

Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Ye Zirui, just as we expected, has entered Qingcheng."

"So, should we stop them or not?"

“We won’t stop him.” Yi Moxu tapped his fingers lightly on the table. “Since we have already told the Crown Prince everything, we will not stop him and will let Ye Zirui go.”

"To avoid alerting the enemy and exposing our location if we try to ambush them in Qingcheng."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Alright, then I won't stop you."

"However, there has been no news of the Crown Prince's disappearance from the Siyou Kingdom's army camp yet, and we do not know what the Crown Prince is planning."

"Soon." Yi Moxu smiled casually. "Once Ye Zirui arrives, the Crown Prince's side will be soon too. Once Ye Zirui arrives, Ye Qinghao will soon arrive with his army as well. This area is getting more and more lively."

Yi Moxu dismissed the person who came to report the news, and not long after, Xing Jun strode in.

"News has come from the Siyou Kingdom's camp."

Ye Qing'an turned her head and exchanged a glance with Yi Moxu.

Yi Moxu curled the corners of his lips: "Some news has come. What news?"

"Two pieces of news."

"The first piece of news is that the Crown Prince of Siyou Kingdom has disappeared from the camp, vanished into thin air. Everyone in the Siyou Kingdom camp is in a panic, and they have been searching for a long time without finding him."

"Some people say that the circumstances of the Crown Prince's disappearance are almost identical to those of the Lady's disappearance, and they suspect that he was kidnapped by us."

Yi Moxu glanced at Ye Qing'an and curled up the corner of his mouth: "Let them have their doubts. What about the other matter?"

"Another one..."

Xing Jun straightened his expression: "Our spies in the Siyou Kingdom's camp reported that some people of unknown origin have suddenly appeared in the camp."

"People of unknown origin?" Yi Moxu sat up straight. "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"Yes." Xing Jun continued, "Our people planted in the camp have noticed some strange phenomena among the Siyou Kingdom soldiers they are familiar with recently. For example, people they used to know suddenly seem not to recognize them at all. For example, the preferences of familiar people have suddenly changed."

"Then our men secretly investigated and found that they had all disguised themselves."

"Is it the same person from before, who was replaced by someone in disguise?" Ye Qing'an frowned.

"Yes."

Xing Jun continued, "Our people planted inside don't dare to make any rash moves, so they don't dare to take any further action. They only sent someone back to ask the Lord and his wife what to do in this situation."

Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "Prepare the medicine, then find someone to interrogate us first. Try to get some information out of us..."

"That's what I think too. This should be the least likely way to be discovered. We should first find out where these people who suddenly appeared came from and what forces they belong to before we can make any plans."

Yi Moxu stood up: "I have the medicine. I'll go get it and have someone deliver it to the Siyou Kingdom's camp."

"Yes."

Xing Jun accepted the medicine, bowed, and left.

After the medicine was sent away, there was still no news, but Ye Zirui had already entered the Siyou Kingdom's camp.

"As soon as Ye Zirui entered the Siyou Kingdom's camp, he summoned all the generals together and asked them about the specific details of the Crown Prince's disappearance."

"And he ordered the generals to bring the Crown Prince back within two days."

Upon hearing the report, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh: "Demand that the generals find the Crown Prince within two days?"

"When I entered the Siyou Kingdom's camp with the Crown Prince, my first impression was that the generals appeared respectful on the surface, but were actually disobedient. They seemed to really dislike fighting and being manipulated. So, I once suspected that those generals were people we had planted."

“Even the Crown Prince has some trouble getting them to cooperate, let alone Ye Zirui.”

"Ye Zirui is just Ye Qinghao's son. He doesn't even hold an official position or have the authority to command troops, yet he started pointing fingers at the officers in the camp as soon as he arrived."

"Wait for the world to teach him a lesson."

Ye Qing'an's words seemed like a prophecy.

The day after Ye Zirui entered the camp, Ye Qing'an received news that Ye Zirui had a conflict with the camp's generals on the training ground and was asked to have a match with one of the camp's generals in front of everyone.

With so many people watching, Ye Zirui couldn't do anything to the general, and thus lost completely.

"Ye Zirui lost face and stayed in his tent, refusing to come out."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Yi Moxu: "He's anxious to find the Crown Prince and continue using the bewitching spell. Now that the generals in the camp are unwilling to help him, what do you think he'll do next?"

"Isn't it rumored that the Crown Prince was kidnapped by us?" Yi Moxu looked up at Ye Qing'an: "Ye Zirui, most likely, will try to sneak into Anzhi City and find out where the Crown Prince is."

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, you still choose to go into the tiger's den."

"We're family after all. If he comes, we should naturally treat him well."

Ye Qing'an asked with a smile, "Where is Ye Qinghao? How much longer until Ye Qinghao arrives at the camp?"

"Let's do it early the day after tomorrow."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Alright, that's perfect. Perfect, let's present Prime Minister Ye with a grand gift."
