Chapter 331 Calming the Fright
"Hmm." Yi Moxu knew what Ye Qing'an wanted to ask: "Everything has been taken care of. The Lingwu Pavilion Master's injuries have been somewhat relieved, but he still needs a few more treatments."
Ye Qing'an wasn't particularly surprised, but her gaze swept over Yi Moxu a few times: "The Pavilion Master of Lingwu Pavilion was seriously injured, and renowned doctors and physicians from all over the world were invited, but none of them could do anything about it. As soon as Physician Xu arrived, the Pavilion Master of Lingwu Pavilion's injuries were alleviated. Not only were the injuries alleviated, but the Pavilion Master of Lingwu Pavilion and Ye Qinghao also had to rely on Physician Xu, and Physician Xu had to continue to treat their injuries from time to time."
"I almost suspect that this whole thing was a setup by Dr. Xu."
When Yi Moxu heard Ye Qing'an say this, he only smiled and did not refute it.
No rebuttal was offered...
Ye Qing'an murmured these four words to herself, lifted her eyelids to glance at Yi Moxu, and did not refute them, because her guess was correct.
Ye Qing'an gently rubbed her fingers inside her sleeve. Although she knew that Yi Moxu's ultimate goal was the Siyou Kingdom and the throne.
But she didn't know what Yi Moxu was doing all this for, or what he really wanted to do.
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment, then fixed his gaze into Yi Moxu's eyes: "This Ye family, and even this Ye clan, must be dealt with by me."
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Moxu knew exactly what she was thinking and couldn't help but chuckle: "Yes, I know. This Ye clan will be left to you to deal with. You can do whatever you want with it. Whether you directly annihilate this century-old clan, or you take it into your hands and let the power, status, connections, and influence that the Ye clan has accumulated over hundreds of years fall into your hands and be used for your own purposes, it's all up to you."
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "I will handle the Ye clan. As for who has recently fallen into the hands of the world, that's up to their own abilities."
This was the first time Ye Qing'an had so openly laid out her ambitions in front of Yi Moxu.
In the past, Yi Moxu might have just laughed it off, thinking that although Ye Qing'an was somewhat clever, it was too naive for her to think that she could conquer the world with just that.
But now that Ye Qing'an has said these words, he feels that Ye Qing'an is indeed serious.
Judging from her recent actions and the way Ye Qing'an conducts herself after he got to know her better, Ye Qing'an is indeed not an ordinary young lady.
But ironically, this woman, who was not at all like an ordinary young lady, grew up entirely in the inner courtyard of the mansion.
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes, concealing his curiosity: "Alright, since Qing'an is so willing, then let's do as Qing'an says and rely on our own abilities."
"However, regarding this world..." Yi Moxu's lips curled slightly: "I have been planning this for a long time and have paid a considerable price. Judging from Qing An's current abilities and what she holds in her hands, it will probably not be easy for her to obtain this world."
“It’s not easy.” Ye Qing’an was well aware of this, and upon hearing this, she simply smiled and said, “However, things can be accomplished by human effort. The prince has his power, but I also have my own unique advantages.”
"Oh dear, it's raining!"
Ye Feiran and Eleven exclaimed in surprise from outside, and then the two rushed in.
Ye Qing'an stood up: "You didn't get wet, did you?"
"No, it's just a light rain." Ye Feiran waved his hand dismissively and ordered the servant outside the door, "Go, go, go prepare hot water for me. I want to take a bath. I'm all sweaty and sticky, it's so annoying."
Ye Qing'an looked up and glanced outside. The rain was not heavy, but it was still continuous and dense.
"The autumn rain is continuous; I wonder how long it will last."
Just as Ye Qing'an had predicted, the rain lasted for four whole days.
Perhaps because of the rain, the Ye residence seemed to have quieted down.
Even the events of that Mid-Autumn Festival night didn't attract much gossip or discussion.
Ye Qing'an counted the days on her fingers. Four days had passed, but Ye Qinghao had not taken any action.
"I heard that Consort Yun has been banished to the Cold Palace. The head of the Gu family went to the palace and knelt for several days to plead for Consort Yun, but the Emperor did not even see her."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "As expected."
Regardless of whether Consort Yun or the Gu family was the true mastermind behind this disaster, someone has to be identified.
After all, given Ye Qinghao's status, even if it's just for show, Yi Yun Kui has to quell the Ye family's anger first.
"After this incident, the status and position of our Ye family have risen even higher. I have heard that although it has been raining every day these past few days, many people have still come to visit us with gifts."
"But the master refused them all, citing illness."
Ye Qing'an chuckled. The Ye family's status was rising, which might not necessarily be a good thing.
However, it all depends on how Ye Qinghao responds.
Ye Qing'an turned a page of the book without making a sound.
“Huh…” Zixiao suddenly spoke up, her gaze passing through the open window and looking into the courtyard.
"The butler has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing'an sat up straight, turned her head, and saw the steward leading two servants, holding umbrellas, walking in from outside the courtyard: "Quickly go and inform the young lady that someone from the palace has arrived, and tell her to get ready and go to the flower hall."
"Someone from the palace has arrived?" Before the maid outside could come in to report, Zixiao quickly turned around: "This servant will get you an outer robe, and your hair will probably need to be redone."
Zi Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "I wonder what brings these people from the palace here."
Ye Qing'an remained calm and composed: "They're probably here to bring me money, right?"
Zi Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an with some surprise, assuming that Ye Qing'an was joking: "Miss is joking."
"This one, I think Miss looks very good in this dress."
Ye Qing'an put down the book in her hand, stood up, and let Zi Xiao dress her up, comb her hair, and put on her hair ornaments before she went out.
The butler was still waiting for Ye Qing'an in the courtyard.
Ye Qing'an followed the steward to the flower hall, where she finally saw the person waiting there.
The eunuch's face looked somewhat familiar; he seemed to be the eunuch who had stood beside Yi Yun Kui in the palace before.
Ye Qinghao was already waiting in the flower hall. When he saw Ye Qing'an come over, he said, "Qing'an, come and meet Steward Li."
Chief Steward Li, you must be referring to that eunuch.
"Your subject Ye Qing'an greets Chief Steward Li."
Li Yunxiu laughed: "Miss Ye, you flatter me..."
Li Yunxiu turned his head: "Miss Ye suffered some injustice in the palace on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Emperor asked me to send some things to Miss Ye as a way to calm her nerves..."
