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

Chapter 306 Your Majesty, Please Stay

Ye Qing'an watched Yi Moxu leave, her brows furrowing slightly, somewhat lost in thought. She had no idea how things had turned out this way.

Why? Just because of one sentence from Yi Moxu, she actually fell in love with him.

And when Yi Moxu kissed her, she clearly had a chance to push him away, but she didn't.

Ye Qing'an asked herself these questions, but a voice kept echoing in her heart: "Admit it, you already had feelings for Yi Moxu before. The so-called 'being moved by that one sentence' was just your heart having been planning this for a long time, just waiting for the right opportunity."

Ye Qing'an was taken aback, her mind flashing back to the times she spent with Yi Moxu, and her fingers involuntarily curled slightly.

Yes, so-called liking is always something that has been planned for a long time.

Ye Qing'an chuckled softly. Well, there's no need to think so much now. I might as well just... let nature take its course.

It seems that Yimoxu told Eleven when she went out, and not long after, Eleven arrived at the Cloud Dream Realm.

"Mommy!" Eleven ran towards Ye Qing'an, chuckled, and sat down beside her, tilting her head to look at her. "Uncle Xu said that Mommy is a little scared being all alone in this huge Cloud Dreamland, so Eleven came to keep Mommy company."

Eleven's eyes darted around: "Mother, are you really scared?"

"How could that be?" Ye Qing'an smiled faintly, "I used to cultivate alone in this Cloud Dreamland quite often."

"I knew it." Eleven covered her mouth and laughed for a while before saying, "I think it's because Uncle Xu is so concerned about Mother that he can't bear to see her in fear. He thinks that Mother would be scared if she were alone in this Dreamland. That's what they call, 'love makes the heart grow fonder.'"

Is it true that lovers see cowards?

Ye Qing'an had never heard of this before, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and press her hand on Eleven's forehead: "Who taught you this?"

"Do I need anyone to teach me this? I have eyes, I can see."

Seeing Eleven's smug look, Ye Qing'an chuckled, "You little devil, you even dare to tease your own mother?"

"hey-hey."

Although he claimed to be there to keep Ye Qing'an company, Eleven had always been very enthusiastic about cultivation, so he said, "Then Mother, shall I stay here and cultivate with you?"

"Perfect timing! I feel like my cultivation has stagnated lately. Mother, could you take a look?"

"Okay."

Ye Qing'an responded and told Eleven to begin circulating his internal energy.

The mother and son were cultivating in this dreamlike realm of clouds, unaware that the palace had already turned upside down.

As the palace banquet was about to end, Yi Yun Kui stood up and was about to pull the cauldron beside him toward the inner palace.

Consort Lan followed behind, watching the two people in front of her looking so impatient, a cold smile creeping across her face.

Just then, a palace maid rushed over, looking somewhat anxious. After looking around for a moment, she found Consort Lan in the crowd, walked quickly towards her, and whispered something in her ear.

Consort Lan narrowed her eyes, her expression suddenly changing.

"Sure?"

"It's absolutely true. Prince Duan also sent someone over specifically for this matter."

Consort Lan pondered for a moment before nodding.

"Your Majesty, please wait."

Upon hearing Consort Lan speak suddenly, Yi Yun Kui was taken aback, his expression somewhat surprised.

Ever since that incident a few years ago, Consort Lan has kept to herself and rarely appeared in public, and she has never greeted him on her own initiative.

Yi Yun Kui turned to look at Consort Lan, his eyes filled with surprise and delight: "My dear consort, is there something you need?"

Consort Lan pursed her lips and turned to look at Consort Yun not far away: "I heard that Consort Yun sent someone to bring my savior, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Ye's family, into the palace. So I would like to ask Consort Yun where she took Miss Ye?"

"It has been a while since I last saw Miss Ye, and I was just about to have a word with her."

Yi Yun Kui hadn't expected it to be about this. He frowned slightly and looked up at Consort Yun: "Consort Yun, is this really the case?"

Gu Ya Yun hurriedly stepped forward, her face showing no sign of panic, and said, "That's right. Actually, the second young master of the Ye family made some wild remarks on the street, saying that Prime Minister Ye is even more powerful than the Emperor, and even greater than the Emperor. Shao'er happened to overhear it."

Yi Yun Kui frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes: "Is this really true?"

"Yes, Young Master Ye's actions are extremely rebellious. Shao'er was furious and immediately had him tied up and taken back to the palace."

"But after hearing Shao'er reveal his identity, Young Master Ye suddenly fainted. It's unclear whether he was really fainting or faking it. Shao'er was originally going to send someone to ask Young Master Ye why he said that, but there was no way to ask now."

"Since Miss Ye was also present at the time, Shao'er sent someone to invite Miss Ye into the palace."

Consort Lan narrowed her eyes: "So, where are both Miss Ye and Young Master Ye?"

"Although Young Master Ye said things he shouldn't have, this matter should still be decided by the Emperor."

Consort Yun smiled and said, "Since it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet just now, and Your Majesty seemed to be in a very good mood, I did not want to bother Your Majesty with such troublesome matters. So I had someone take the Second Young Master Ye and the Eldest Miss Ye to the dark dungeon for interrogation."

Consort Lan stared intently at Consort Yun, who remained unfazed, merely offering a slight smile as she met her gaze.

"So, may I go see Miss Ye now? Even if Second Young Master Ye made a mistake, it has nothing to do with Miss Ye. It seems unreasonable for Consort Yun to lock Miss Ye in the dungeon as well."

"Naturally."

As soon as Consort Yun finished speaking, someone outside the palace announced, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ye has returned again, saying he has urgent business to discuss."

Consort Yun smiled and said, "Prime Minister Ye must have returned because of this matter. In that case, we can let Prime Minister Ye go to the dark prison with us and see if the people interrogating them have gotten anything out of them."

Yi Yun Kui narrowed his eyes, his expression shifting slightly: "Alright, then take Prime Minister Ye to the dark prison as well."

After speaking, Yi Yun Kui walked ahead, his face cold, clearly angered by what Yun Fei had just said and what Ye Fei Ran had said.

After walking for a while, Yi Yun Kui Fang spotted Ye Qing Hao waiting outside.

Yi Yun Kui narrowed his eyes, stopped in his tracks, and lingered his gaze on Ye Qinghao several times before turning even colder: "Prime Minister Ye has certainly raised a fine son."

Ye Qinghao clenched his fist slightly, then lowered his eyes and said, "I know my own child best. I am certain that Feiran would never say such a thing for no reason. Please give me a chance, Your Majesty, so that I may go and see him."

"Okay, let's go then."
