Chapter 668 Better Today Than Any Other Day
After returning to her room, Ye Qing'an fell asleep very quickly.
When Ye Qing'an woke up, the moon was already high in the sky, and the room was pitch black. She moved her body, and a lamp suddenly turned on.
Ye Qing'an then saw that Yi Moxu was sitting next to the table.
Ye Qing'an blinked: "What time is it? Why are you sitting here without making a sound? You scared me to death."
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow; "It's almost midnight."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "What's there to be scared of? Do you think anyone else besides me would dare to come into this room?"
Ye Qing'an rolled her eyes: "It's midnight? Have I been sleeping for that long?"
"Ah."
Ye Qing'an threw back the covers and got out of bed, sitting down opposite Yi Moxu: "What did Su Yusheng say to you?"
"What else can I say?" Yi Moxu chuckled casually. "He said he wanted to conspire with me in rebellion."
Although Su Yusheng had indeed expressed such a meaning before, Ye Qing'an still couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise upon hearing Yi Moxu's confirmation.
"To conspire with us in rebellion? What is he thinking?"
“I don’t know what he was thinking, but I do know what he said.” Yi Moxu picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of water for Ye Qing’an, and pushed it in front of her before saying, “Besides what he told you at the beginning, such as wanting to avenge his daughter and how he had been holding a grudge since he was demoted, he also said that now that you have married me, if Yi Yunkui investigates, he will definitely not let him off the hook.”
"He won't let him go?" Ye Qing'an was genuinely puzzled. "Why won't Yi Yun Kui let him go? Even if he's investigating the matter of me marrying you, shouldn't Yi Yun Kui be investigating the Ye family?"
"Although the Su family is my maternal grandfather's family, everyone in the capital knows that the Su family and the Ye family have severed all ties because of Ye Qinghao's matter."
"And as everyone knows, after Su Yusheng went to Tongxin Prefecture, he completely severed ties with the Ye family. Even when my mother passed away, the Su family did not send anyone back to offer condolences."
“Under these circumstances, even if I marry you and rebel, Yi Yun Kui won’t cause trouble for the Su family, right?”
Yi Moxu nodded: "This excuse does seem a little clumsy."
Yi Moxu picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Perhaps Su Yusheng has long harbored rebellious intentions. Saying these things is just an excuse for himself to form an alliance with me."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "That's possible. After all, although the Su family was a well-known family of loyalty and righteousness in Wangjing City, Yi Yun Kui treated the Su family quite well back then."
"Later, the Su family was transferred to Tongxin Prefecture. Tongxin Prefecture was relatively desolate and chaotic, and they stayed there for more than ten years. No one knows what happened to the Su family in Tongxin Prefecture during those ten years. No one also knows what changes occurred in Su Yusheng's mind during those ten years."
"So, what are you going to do?"
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow: "This is your maternal grandparents' home, and didn't you say before that Su Yusheng and his wife treated you very well? How could I possibly disagree?"
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu: "You don't need to worry about me."
"Even if I disregard you, given my current situation, if I can get one more person to join me in my evil ways, I won't let it go."
"Furthermore, we are currently situated in the northwest of Siyou Kingdom, while Tongxin Prefecture is located in the northeast. Su Yusheng holds absolute power in Tongxin Prefecture. What's wrong with us conspiring with them to launch a pincer attack on Wangjing City from both sides, thus encircling it?"
Hearing Yi Moxu say this, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh: "To go along with the crowd? Is this how you see it? If your brothers who started the uprising with you heard this, how heartbroken they would be."
After saying that, Ye Qing'an picked up her teacup: "Alright, you just need to weigh the pros and cons. If you think that the benefits of cooperating with Su Yusheng outweigh the losses, then cooperate."
"If any unforeseen circumstances arise in the future, you should handle it accordingly."
"Because I always felt that Su Yusheng's sudden move was quite surprising, and I always felt that there might be something fishy about it."
Yi Moxu nodded, subtly changing the subject: "Would you like something to eat? You slept until this hour, are you going to continue sleeping later? Will you be able to sleep?"
"What can we eat?"
Yi Moxu turned his head and instructed the person outside the door: "Bring the food that is still hot on the stove to the madam."
After Yi Moxu finished giving his instructions, Ye Qing'an put down his teacup: "I definitely can't sleep anymore, I've been sleeping for too long."
Ye Qing'an tilted her head and looked at Yi Moxu: "What about you? Are you sleeping?"
"I'm not going to sleep either. I slept with you for a while earlier."
"Huh?" Ye Qing'an was somewhat surprised: "When did this happen? Why didn't I know anything about it?"
She couldn't be sleeping that soundly, could she?
"Yes, just before."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu suspiciously, but didn't investigate further. She just thought for a moment and said, "Didn't we say before that we could find a dark night and go to the Siyou Kingdom's camp to investigate and see the Crown Prince?"
"Why not seize the day, or make the most of today?"
"Wait for me to eat something, then we'll set off?"
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face, and he saw the cunning in Ye Qing'an's eyes.
Yi Moxu's fingers twitched slightly. He had known Ye Qing'an for quite some time, but it seemed that only recently had Ye Qing'an become a little more at ease in front of him.
Yi Moxu smiled. Perhaps this clever yet cunning look was Ye Qing'an's true nature?
If this is what Ye Qing'an looks like hidden under the mask, then he is truly honored.
"Okay."
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow and tapped his finger lightly on the teacup: "Then let's go."
After finishing her meal, Ye Qing'an stood up and was about to leave when Yi Moxu called out to her, "Where are you going?"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Not to the Siyou Kingdom's camp?"
Yi Moxu chuckled: "Go to the Siyou Kingdom's camp. You don't need to go outside."
"No need to go out?"
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows and quickly realized what was going on, remembering the city garrison and the crisscrossing secret passages within the city.
"Is there a secret passage in this house?"
Yi Moxu nodded, and without anyone noticing, the bookshelf in the room was moved, revealing the secret passage inside.
"Please be careful, Madam."
