Chapter 679 Provocation
The Crown Prince clenched his fist in his sleeve as he watched helplessly as Yi Moxu grabbed Ye Qing'an's wrist, pulled her up, and the two walked together toward the door.
The crown prince gritted his teeth: "I don't believe you. Let her speak."
Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an stopped in their tracks. Yi Moxu turned his head to look at Ye Qing'an and raised an eyebrow.
"Third brother, you probably don't know this, but your wife was quite sought after after she was promoted to the Supreme Realm. Father wanted to bring her into the palace as a concubine, and I also wanted her to be my Crown Princess. I never expected that she would end up in your hands, my brother."
The Crown Prince said this in an attempt to sow discord.
Unexpectedly, Yi Moxu seemed completely unconcerned, and even showed a hint of pride on his face.
pride?
The crown prince frowned and gritted his teeth inwardly.
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Well, I knew my wife was incredibly charming, so it's understandable that many people would vie for her affections. But thankfully, my wife's eyes aren't blind, and in the end, she still chose me."
"..."
The prince took a deep breath, only to feel a sharp, tight pain in his chest.
Yi Moxu raised his hand and gently brushed his fingers across Ye Qing'an's face: "Go, go and tell His Highness the Crown Prince who secretly harmed him."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu before looking at the Crown Prince and said, "It is Liu Enze and Ye Zirui."
Without any prior warning.
"Liu Enze? And Ye Zirui?" The Crown Prince's throat tightened slightly: "Impossible."
Ye Qing'an completely ignored his reaction and went straight to the point.
"Your Highness should know that there is a race called Night Elves in this world. But Your Highness should not know that when a Night Elf mates with a human, the child born may be a Night Elf, but it may also be a human who looks like a Night Elf but possesses the abilities of a Night Elf."
"Nightmare, mating with a human?" The prince's eyes flickered, his gaze filled with shock.
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, actually, I was the one who discovered this in the first place. I first discovered it through Liu Xueying."
Seeing the Crown Prince's somewhat confused expression, Ye Qing'an merely raised an eyebrow slightly: "Liu Xueying is Ye Zirui's mother."
"Because after I returned to the Night Mansion, she summoned Night Demon, intending to kill me. But I escaped and even killed Night Demon. After that, she took matters into her own hands."
"It was because of these two things that I discovered her secret."
"At first, I also found it hard to believe, but I gradually came to believe it. Liu Xueying and Ye Qinghao had two children, Ye Weilan and Ye Zirui."
"After many tests, I discovered that Ye Weilan is just an ordinary person. But Ye Zirui is different. Ye Zirui inherited half of Liu Xueying's Ye Mei bloodline. He can weave illusions and use bewitching techniques on people."
"As for Liu Enze..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "I first noticed that something was wrong with Liu Enze because of Ye Zirui. Liu Xueying and her son tried to harm me several times, so I kept an eye on them. After I became a Supreme Being, I was able to easily find out some of their movements."
"After I arrived at the camp, I discovered that Liu Enze and Ye Zirui were secretly in contact."
"At the time, I was just a little surprised, after all, these two people seemed to have no connection. In fact, because of the grudge between Ye Qinghao and Liu Enze, the Ye family and Liu Enze were almost completely detached from each other."
"After observing carefully for a while, I made a bold guess: Liu Enze might also be Ye Mei."
The crown prince pursed his lips, feeling a tightness in his throat.
He was completely unaware...
Even after realizing that something seemed off about me, I didn't think about it in that direction.
Furthermore, since Ye Zirui and Liu Enze did not always stay by his side, he never even suspected the two of them.
"As for this on the Crown Prince's body..."
Seeing what the Crown Prince was thinking, Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips and continued, "What the Crown Prince is wearing is called the Bewitching Technique. It's a technique used by only a very few Night Elves of the Night Elves. Because only a very few Night Elves know it, it's not as famous as the illusions woven by Night Elves, so not many people know about it."
"For Nightshade to cast a spell on someone, she must cast the spell on the person she is bewitching every day for more than half a month to succeed. Once bewitched, although the person still has their own consciousness and appears no different from usual, their words, actions, and sense of right and wrong will be controlled by the other person."
"They are prone to drastic mood swings and may do things that even they cannot understand."
"The effect of the bewitching spell is not permanent. Nightshade needs to reinforce the spell on the bewitched person every once in a while. However, the reinforcement of the spell does not take long, usually only two or three days."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes to look at the Crown Prince: "Does the Crown Prince ever feel that many of the things he has done, when he looks back on them in a sober state, are things that even he himself cannot understand?"
"No." The crown prince said coldly, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
Ye Qing'an chuckled, not at all annoyed.
He continued, "Previously, His Highness the Crown Prince was punished by His Majesty for the matter of the furnace and was placed under house arrest in the Eastern Palace. During those two months, Ye Zirui was also placed under house arrest in the palace along with His Highness, under the pretense of accompanying him in his studies."
"But as far as I know, Ye Zirui didn't personally handle the matter of the furnace cauldron. So what excuse did he use to stay in the Eastern Palace?"
"After more than two months of living together day and night, Ye Zirui had enough opportunity to spend time with His Highness the Crown Prince and to use his bewitching technique on him."
"By the way, Your Highness, could you please recall carefully what exactly happened with that furnace? Who suggested using a furnace for cultivation? Who found the furnace? And why did the matter of the furnace end up being brought before His Majesty?"
Even without Ye Qing'an's reminder, the Crown Prince already understood that Ye Zirui had most likely taken action against him during those two months.
After he arrived at the border, it was Liu Enze who reinforced it with magic.
As for that cauldron...
The crown prince gritted his teeth, and as he recalled the origin of the furnace, his face grew even more grim.
The furnace cauldron was indeed a gift from someone else, and had nothing to do with Ye Zirui.
However, Ye Zirui whispered in his ear that the furnace cauldron had excellent conditions, and that one day of dual cultivation with that furnace cauldron would probably be equivalent to three months of his own cultivation.
Ye Zirui also said that since his father was using the furnace and cauldron openly, he could do the same.
Furthermore, he could disguise the cauldron as his concubine, so that no one would suspect anything.
And so, he was tempted...
