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

Chapter 266 Holds a Secret

"The dog that doesn't bark is the one that bites the hardest." Ghost Shadow repeated Yi Moxu's words, remained silent for a while, and then asked, "Then the cauldron I carefully selected for Yi Yunkui and the Crown Prince is useless?"

“How could it be useless?” Yi Moxu scoffed. “On the surface, Yi Xiao is the Crown Prince’s man. So you must plan your defection carefully. Plan how to meet Yi Xiao and how to propose your defection to him.”

"After you join him, you can suggest to him that the two furnaces be presented to the Crown Prince and Yiyun Kui. You can tell him how the furnaces should be used, and whether he uses them or not is entirely up to him."

Ghost's eyes lit up, and he immediately came to his senses: "I understand."

"If Yixiao presented those two furnaces to the Crown Prince and the Emperor, it means that he has ambitions, and quite large ones at that."

"If Yixiao didn't..."

Yi Moxu interrupted him directly: "There is no other possibility, Yi Xiao, you will definitely offer it."

"Tsk, Your Majesty seems to have victory firmly in your grasp. If Your Majesty had spent some of the time you spend studying political intrigue and scheming on that little girl earlier, things wouldn't have come to this..."

Before the ghostly figure finished speaking, a flicker of fire suddenly appeared in Yi Moxu's hand.

"..."

The ghostly figure swiftly leaped onto the wall, clinging to it like a shadow, and then vanished in a flash.

Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes, then raised his voice and said, "Yu Jie."

Almost silently, a person wearing a silver mask leaped down from the beam.

"Lord."

Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "Didn't you previously send people to follow Ye Qing'an closely? Summon them in, I have something to ask them."

Yu Jie responded and quickly summoned the person.

"Your subordinate Lu Yu pays respects to Your Majesty."

Yi Moxu responded and asked directly, "You were with Ye Qing'an before. Tell me in detail what happened today. Think back carefully and don't miss any details."

"Yes..." Lu Yu responded, knowing what Yi Moxu wanted to ask, and simply told Yi Moxu the whole story: "At that time, because the lake was shrouded in mist, neither I nor Miss Ye noticed the illusion. By the time I came to my senses, Miss Ye had already disappeared."

"Therefore, I do not know what happened to Miss Ye in that illusion. I can only guess from the conversation between Miss Ye and Miss Li that Miss Ye must have encountered the Water Kirin and the Seven Star Formation in that illusion."

Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: "Water Qilin, and the Seven Star Formation."

Yi Moxu remembered that Ye Qing'an had indeed mentioned seeing the water unicorn earlier. Moreover, because the water unicorn was affected by Gu Duo having one of his souls and one of his spirits extracted, although its spiritual power had decreased, its mind was also unclear.

The Water Kirin is an ancient magical beast, and even with its spiritual power reduced to one-tenth, it is still not to be underestimated.

In addition, a Seven Star Array was added.

Although he didn't consider the Seven Star Formation to be anything special, Ye Qing'an...

Yi Moxu pursed her lips. A water unicorn and a seven-star formation. How exactly did Ye Qing'an break the formation, injure the dancer, leave the illusion, and even exchange clothes with the dancer before leaving to confuse Li Siya and Gu Xiang?

How did she manage to see through the Seven Star Formation?

As far as he knew, Ye Qing'an was previously highly neglected in the Ye family mansion, and since she was unable to cultivate the Xuanling Technique, naturally no one would teach her these formations.

But later, on the estate, it became even more impossible.

Since Ye Qing'an returned to the manor, he has personally witnessed Ye Qing'an's spiritual power gradually developing, but that's all there is to it—the spiritual power has only developed.

No one had ever taught her those spells or formations.

He always felt that Ye Qing'an was hiding a... huge secret.

He didn't know what the secret was, but he felt that it must be something shocking.

Yi Moxu picked up the jade pendant at his waist, rubbing it in his hand, as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

He wanted to test Ye Qing'an to see what other abilities she possessed, and what else he didn't know about...

Such thoughts, once they take root in one's mind, begin to grow wildly.

"Yu Jie..." Yi Moxu began to instruct, "Come closer..."

Ye Qing'an had no idea what Yi Moxu was planning. She had just broken free from Yi Moxu's embrace and walked from the gate of Yi Moxu's courtyard all the way to her own. All the way, she felt as if her face was on fire, burning intensely.

Ye Qing'an bit her lip, wondering why she had become so spineless.

In her previous life, when she was the regent princess, she had male lovers by her side.

Although her male concubines came in all sorts of different looks, none of them gave her the same feeling.

That's why this inexplicable feeling of excitement left her feeling quite lost.

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath. This feeling of being completely out of control was really unpleasant, and it made her subconsciously want to escape.

but……

Yi Moxu was the man she had a relationship with before, and also Eleven's father.

Because of this relationship, she can't even really stay away from Yi Moxu.

She was not Eleven's real mother, and therefore did not deprive him of the right to recognize his biological father.

"Miss."

Zi Xiao's voice came from behind, startling Ye Qing'an. He turned around and patted his chest helplessly: "You know how scary it can be?"

"This servant has called for Miss many times already." Zixiao lowered her head: "Isn't Miss with Physician Xu? Why are you standing here at the door in a daze instead of going in?"

Upon hearing Zixiao mention Yimoxu, Ye Qing'an felt her eyelids twitch, and her heart skipped a beat as well.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."

Ye Qing'an stepped inside. Granny Wei was directing the maids to tend to the flowers and plants in the courtyard from the corridor. Seeing Ye Qing'an enter, she hurriedly said, "Miss is back?"

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Did anything happen in the courtyard today? Where are Eleven and Feiran?"

"The eleventh young master and the second young master have both gone back to their rooms to read and practice calligraphy. Nothing much happened in the courtyard today, but some strange rumors have inexplicably started to circulate in the mansion, and they are about Doctor Xu."

"Ok?"

Ye Qing'an raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. Why did people around her keep bringing up Yi Moxu's name even when she wanted to avoid him and avoid hearing it at all?

Ye Qing'an couldn't help but sigh: "What rumors?"
