Chapter 489 The Emperor's Royal
Previously, because Gu Duo said he was a novice, when Ye Qing'an heard him mention Xiao Huang, he almost subconsciously thought that the Huang in Xiao Huang was the Huang in Huangqi (Astragalus membranaceus).
but……
Ye Qing'an bit her lip. This "Huang" could also mean the emperor's "Huang," or the bright yellow color.
After all, as Granny Wei had said, when Ye Huajin fell ill, it was Emperor Yiyun Kui who helped find a famous doctor and sent Ye Huajin to that doctor for treatment and recuperation.
Is it possible that the so-called treatment and recuperation back then was a pretense, and that Yi Yun Kui had taken control of Ye Hua Jin to blackmail Gu Duo?
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to look at Granny Wei: "Granny, do you still remember when Aunt was sent to a famous doctor for treatment after she fell ill? Did anyone see Aunt?"
“No.” Granny Wei shook her head without hesitation: “At that time, the doctor said that Miss Hua Jin’s body needed to rest and recuperate, and it was best not to disturb her easily. In addition, there were some things that happened in the mansion during that period, and there was some turmoil. The master was also very busy. Apart from the master, no one else knew where Miss Hua Jin was, so no one was able to visit her.”
Ye Qing'an nodded. If that was the case, then her guess might be true.
Perhaps Yi Yun Kui has the Night Flower Brocade in his own hands and is using it to blackmail Gu Duo into doing something; who knows?
But what exactly did Yi Yun Kui ask Gu Duo to do? Why did Gu Duo suddenly and inexplicably become a traitor? And what was the meaning of the red mole that Gu Duo kept mentioning?
Ye Qing'an bit her lip, feeling the doubts in her heart growing bigger and bigger, as if everything was shrouded in mist, becoming elusive and confusing.
Ye Qing'an felt that this matter was probably only known to Yi Yun Kui and Gu Duo.
Yi Yun Kui naturally couldn't tell her about this, but Gu Duo...
Ye Qing'an bit her lip. However, she could indeed visit Gu Duo more often. After all, although Gu Duo had gone mad, judging from the Ye Huajin incident, he hadn't forgotten everything from the past. Perhaps she could extract something useful from his inexplicable gossip.
Ye Qing'an glanced lightly at the low table with her fingers, having already made up her mind.
Upon arriving at the Ye residence and returning to her courtyard, Ye Qing'an saw the steward and Ye Zirui waiting for her there.
Ye Zirui...
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. This was indeed a rare guest.
"Young Miss, how is she?" the butler asked hurriedly.
Ye Qing'an shook his head: "This matter is too strange. I have told the Emperor all my suspicions. I suspect that someone is behind it all, targeting me, the Ye family, or even the entire Siyou Kingdom."
"The Emperor has already agreed to thoroughly investigate this matter."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she turned to the steward and said, "I would also trouble you to send someone to investigate whether there has been anything unusual about the Gu family recently, especially regarding Madam Gu. No matter how small or big, anything related to Madam Gu should be overlooked."
The butler's expression was also very serious, as if he understood that this matter was of great importance.
"Don't worry, young lady, this old servant will have someone investigate immediately."
The butler left in a hurry, but Ye Zirui remained where he was, looking at Ye Qing'an with a scrutinizing gaze.
Why is my little brother Zirui looking at me like that?
Ye Zirui narrowed his eyes: "Just now, eldest sister said that this matter might not only be aimed at you, but also at the Ye family and the entire Siyou Kingdom?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, on my way there, I thought carefully about all the recent events. I feel that each and every one of them seems to be a scheme deliberately set up by someone. I am now a Supreme Being, and since ancient times, the influence of Supreme Beings on the country and the nation has never been underestimated, even if I am a woman. It is not entirely impossible for me to disrupt the world and shake the country and the nation."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he gave a self-deprecating laugh: "However, all of this is just my guess. We will only know what is going on after the Emperor and the steward investigate carefully."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips tightly, and after a long while, she sighed softly: "I don't know why, but ever since I became a Supreme Being, I've always felt uneasy. My heart beats very fast, and I always feel like something bad is about to happen, like a storm is brewing."
Ye Qing'an bit her lower lip, a hint of panic in her eyes: "I... I don't want to be a Supreme at all. I don't know why I suddenly became a Supreme. I just want to do what I like peacefully and take good care of Eleven. I feel that since I became a Supreme, too many things have happened around me, and there are many things that I have no idea how to deal with. I really don't know what to do."
Ye Zirui's wariness of Ye Qing'an grew stronger. He stroked the dark pattern on his sleeve and said softly, "Elder sister, don't worry. We're here, and the Ye family is here too."
After Ye Zirui finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qing'an again: "By the way, eldest sister, since you came back, there have been so many things going on in the manor, and we haven't had a proper rest. So I've been wanting to ask you, eldest sister, what did you say to the Emperor when you went to the palace to see him after you returned to the city? And what did the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince say to you?"
Ye Qing'an had long anticipated that he would ask about this matter, so she lowered her head and pursed her lips, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that you want me to enter the palace as a concubine..."
"What?" Before Ye Qing'an could finish speaking, Ye Zirui frowned, his face full of disbelief.
"The Emperor has asked you to enter the palace as a concubine?"
Ye Zirui's expression turned somewhat grim: "How could this be? Not only is Eldest Sister so much younger than the Emperor, but she also has children. If she were to enter the palace as a concubine, it would likely cause a great deal of gossip."
Ye Qing'an nodded, looking quite agreeable: "That's true, but the Emperor said that he hopes I will enter the palace as a concubine, not for... to favor me."
Ye Qing'an's face flushed slightly, and she repeated Yi Yun Kui's words: "Your Majesty feels that as the Supreme One, especially now that Father has encountered an accident and his life is uncertain, if something really happens to Father, then you, Brother Zi Rui, will definitely be in charge of the Ye Manor in the future. If that happens, my status in the manor will be somewhat awkward."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and remained silent, only staring intently at Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "If one could enter the palace as a concubine but not be favored, and only serve the Emperor, that would indeed be a good idea."
