Chapter 256 Past Events
"Sure." Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Is this our first time shopping together?"
"Ah."
"How long have you been back in Wangjing? Are you familiar with Wangjing?" Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "A few years ago when I was still in the Ye residence, I didn't go out much. After returning to the residence, I've only been able to go out a little recently, so I'm not familiar with Wangjing at all."
"You can come find me wherever you want to go in the future."
"Okay."
Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Yi Moxu shielded Ye Qing'an to his left, blocking the throng of people outside.
"Ye Qinghao told me earlier that he wanted me to save someone, saying that the person was seriously injured and his meridians were damaged. He asked me to write down some prescriptions for spiritual herbs, and he would try to find all the spiritual herbs that might be needed."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Does he believe you now?"
Yi Moxu nodded: "It's probably because the show we've been putting on recently has taken effect."
"That's good." Ye Qing'an stood on tiptoe and saw a sugar painting stall in the distance. She wondered if she should bring one back for Eleven, but she had already bought candied hawthorns. Buying sugar paintings would be too much. Eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth.
"What are you trying to achieve by going to all this trouble?"
Yi Moxu glanced at Ye Qing'an: "If there's a first time, there will be a second. Once Ye Qinghao starts to trust me, my special status will allow me to access more and more things, and I will be able to know more and more secrets about Ye Qinghao."
Ye Qing'an nodded, but then suddenly remembered something else: "Since you went to great lengths to infiltrate Wangjing City and have the ambition to seize that position, you must have already infiltrated the court, right? Have you been secretly building up your influence in the court?"
"To you, is Ye Qinghao someone you want to win over, or someone you're adversary?"
Yi Moxu did not answer her first two questions, but said directly: "Whether it is the object of our efforts or the enemy, it has never been Ye Qinghao, but always the entire Ye clan."
"As for whether the Ye Clan will become my ally or my enemy, it depends on who controls the Ye Clan."
Ye Qing'an understood the underlying meaning of his words and couldn't help but lower her eyes and chuckle. How could this person be so good at talking?
It's a pity that, with all these twists and turns, someone who isn't particularly quick-witted probably wouldn't be able to guess what he really wanted to express.
"Does Your Highness mean that if the Ye clan falls into Ye Qinghao's hands, they will become your enemies? And if the Ye clan eventually falls into my hands, they will become your allies?"
"Yes."
Hearing Yi Moxu's sudden and decisive agreement, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Then I'll just have to try harder."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she looked into the distance again, her brows furrowing slightly: "Are there this many people on the streets of Wangjing every day? Why do I feel that there weren't this many people on the streets when I came out the last few times?"
"It's so difficult to walk, how can we even shop? Is there a particularly large number of people on this street?"
Yi Moxu frowned, about to secretly instruct his subordinates who had been following them not far away to investigate, when he heard cheers from not far away: "They're here! They're here!"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "They've arrived? Who is it? Who is making such a big fuss?"
A man standing next to Ye Qing'an heard her words, turned to look at her, and saw that Ye Qing'an was wearing a veil, so he couldn't see her face, but judging from her voice, she must be a beauty. So he kindly explained to her, "It is Princess Zigui who has returned to the city."
"Princess Zigui?" Why is there such a commotion about a princess returning to the city?
"You haven't even heard of Princess Zigui? She's the most beautiful woman in our Siyou Kingdom, outstanding in both looks and talent, and skilled in both literature and martial arts. She just won a battle at the border and is now returning to the capital. Everyone here is here to see her."
"Such a powerful person?"
"Of course." Seeing that Ye Qing'an was interested, the man began to talk at length: "Princess Zigui is very powerful. She cultivated to the level of a Holy Spirit at the age of fifteen. Five years ago, when Mingyue Kingdom invaded our border, Princess Zigui volunteered to lead troops to the battlefield. Until now, she has never suffered a defeat."
The speaker sighed softly, "It's a pity that she's too powerful. Most men in Siyou Kingdom can only admire Princess Zigui from afar and dare not ask for her hand in marriage, which is why Princess Zigui is still unmarried."
“That’s not how it is…” another person leaned over: “It’s clearly because Princess Zigui has someone else in her heart.”
"That's right. It's no secret that Princess Zigui is in love with Prince Duan. I heard that the Emperor was originally going to arrange a marriage between the two of them, but unfortunately, that prince had an accident six years ago. When Princess Zigui was in Wangjing, there were always people trying to arrange a marriage for her, which annoyed her so much that she used the excuse of going to war to avoid getting married."
"Sigh, having admired such a divine figure in her youth, no one else could ever catch the eye of Princess Zigui again, right?"
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows; she had heard similar words twice today.
Once it was in Liu Enze's mouth, and once it was here.
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu beside her, her eyes filled with mockery: "So that's how it is. So Prince Duan has such a past in Wangjing City?"
The two men who had spoken to him were unaware that Yi Moxu was right beside them. They simply waved their hands and said, "Hey, that guy was truly unparalleled in Wangjing back in the day. Countless noble ladies and young women in Wangjing were enamored with him. What a pity..."
"Those girls who admired him back then are probably all mothers by now, aren't they?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled softly, but then she heard Yi Moxu's voice beside her ear: "No."
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Nothing?"
"There was no personal relationship involved, nor was there any intention to arrange a marriage."
"Really?" Ye Qing'an didn't take the matter too seriously. He heard the commotion coming from afar, accompanied by cheers of "They're here!"
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "You've arrived? Let me see what kind of beauty the number one beauty of Siyou Kingdom is."
Looking at Ye Qing'an's troublemaking appearance, Yi Moxu raised his hand and rubbed his temples, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the first thing that caught the eye was a flamboyant battle flag bearing the words "Si You".
Behind the soldiers carrying the flags was a troop of cavalry. The woman at the front wore a snow-white armor, her hair tied up high, and she looked heroic and valiant. She was indeed as beautiful as rumored...
