Chapter 677 Common Things
"When are you awake?" Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes.
"Yes. Just as I reported to you before, His Highness the Crown Prince's condition at night."
Ye Qing'an nodded, understanding. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "Has anything unusual happened in the camp recently?"
"No."
"Ever since the army entered Anzhi City and no one came out, His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly fell silent, only instructing the camp to increase the number of training sessions each day, without giving any other orders."
"The Crown Prince also locks himself in his tent every day, never venturing out. His subordinates have only seen him twice."
"Furthermore, due to the defeat at Anzhi City, the soldiers in the camp were somewhat demoralized and listless, so the camp is now much quieter."
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is Huo Xianming still in the military medical camp?"
"exist."
"Because of what happened to Qiao'er before, we have been paying close attention to the situation in the medical camp. The medical doctors in the camp are all doing as usual, and no one has left quietly."
"And Nalu Yue, whom Master took in before, is still in Master's camp. Moreover, Sister Qingdai said that Nalu Yue seems to have become much more well-behaved recently..."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Okay, I understand. You guys go back first and wait for my news."
"Yes."
After the two left, Yi Moxu turned to look at Ye Qing'an: "Huo Xianming? Lu Yue?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Huo Xianming should be one of Liu Enze's men. However, I don't know yet whether he is Ye Mei or not, but he is definitely one of Liu Enze's men."
"The reason I think we can't just stop Ye Zirui on the road is because of this Huo Xianming. I'm not sure about Huo Xianming's identity."
“And Lu Yue.” Ye Qing’an glanced in the direction of the tent where she had stayed before: “That Lu Yue was a woman that the camp’s generals brought back to present to the Crown Prince when they went out to collect grain. After she arrived at the camp, she tried to escape, but I picked her up and took her back.”
"I actually have some doubts about her. After all, I've always felt that anyone who could be brought back by those generals and presented to the Crown Prince is no ordinary person. It's just that I don't know whose side she is. I kept her by my side before, originally wanting to observe and investigate her closely. But too many things happened afterward, so I didn't pay much attention to her anymore."
"But since we're already here tonight, we might as well try to probe the waters later."
Yi Moxu chuckled softly, "Okay."
"Then now..."
Ye Qing'an looked up at the moon hanging in the sky: "Go find the Crown Prince."
Ye Qing'an pulled Yi Moxu's wrist and walked towards the central military tent.
As they walked, he lowered his voice and said, "It seems the Nightshade Clan's bewitching magic has also caused some problems with the Crown Prince. Every night, the Crown Prince seems unaffected by the bewitching magic, and his mind is perfectly clear..."
“Previously, Liu Enze’s bewitching technique also failed with Yi Yunkui, so I wondered if there was something in common between them that was the key to the Night Demon Clan’s bewitching technique failing with them.”
"But I just can't figure out why..."
Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: "What they have in common?"
"Ah."
Ye Qing'an nodded and added, "However, I only have a suspicion."
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "What do Yi Yunkui and the Crown Prince have in common?"
"For example, jade pendants made from the same piece of jade, or amulets obtained from the same person?"
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Moxu couldn't help but chuckle: "People of the royal family don't believe in these material things."
"You don't believe in material possessions?"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "So, if my guess is correct, then what they have in common is not material possessions? What is it then?"
"Bloodline?"
Seeing Yi Moxu looking at her, Ye Qing'an blinked and said, "That's all I can think of. After all, apart from material possessions, this seems to be the only thing they have."
Yi Moxu suddenly stopped, her brows furrowed, and remained motionless.
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an tugged at his arm. "What's wrong?"
Yi Moxu was silent for a while before saying, "You said that the Night Demon Clan needs to spend a long time together day and night to use bewitching techniques on people?"
Ye Qing'an shook his head: "I guess it doesn't necessarily require being together day and night, but they definitely need to cast spells on the bewitched person, and this must be done every day without interruption. The spells probably won't be completed in an instant; they'll need to continue for a certain period of time, but that period might not be very long..."
"Spending every day together is merely a means to more easily approach the person being bewitched. In fact, when Liu Enze bewitched Yi Yunkui, Yi Yunkui had already ascended the throne. Since he had already become emperor, he certainly couldn't be by Liu Enze's side all the time. Therefore, the condition for using the bewitching technique should be to continuously cast the spell on the bewitched person for a period of time every day for more than half a month..."
Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Qing'an: "I suddenly remembered that six years ago, some time before I was exiled, Liu Enze returned to the capital."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "I know, didn't we find out before? Six years ago, Liu Enze returned to the capital, and around that time, the bewitching technique on Yi Yunkui malfunctioned. I guess Liu Enze must have sensed the person he was bewitching and discovered that the bewitching technique on Yi Yunkui had a problem, so he rushed back."
"He must have tried every possible way to save them, but he didn't succeed."
Yi Moxu shook his head: "What I want to talk about is not the matter of the bewitching technique on Yi Yunkui going wrong."
"I just suddenly remembered that Liu Enze should have returned to the capital two months before my accident. During that time, he told several princes in the palace that he rarely returned to the capital and had seen and learned a lot of new things while traveling outside."
"So he wanted to use this time to teach us all these things, and we should go to school every day for the next month or two without taking leave."
Ye Qing'an suddenly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Yi Moxu: "What did he do to you?"
Yi Moxu pursed her lips: "It doesn't seem like there's anything special about it..."
Yi Moxu pondered for a moment before suddenly remembering, "Oh right, he said he learned a unique cultivation technique that requires us to calm our minds and meditate in the Spirit Gathering Array every day..."
