Chapter 588 Lessons
Ye Qing'an paused, and Liu Enze also stopped.
"How could Your Highness do this? That's a human life!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince said that they disobeyed orders and should be taught a lesson, so he ordered that no one be sent to rescue them."
"Just because of this? Just to teach them a lesson?"
The speaker's voice was filled with shock: "Just to teach them a lesson, you completely disregard their lives? Those are human lives, living, breathing human lives!"
"Perhaps, in His Highness the Crown Prince's mind, our lives are utterly insignificant?"
Ye Qing'an frowned but remained silent.
She had already anticipated these events, but...
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, her voice somewhat low: "Given the circumstances at the time, even if the Crown Prince sent troops to rescue them, they might not have been able to save them, and it might have even put those who went to provide support later in a dangerous situation."
"The Crown Prince, being in his position, naturally has his own considerations. However, if this matter causes resentment among the soldiers, and many begin to feel that His Highness the Crown Prince treats human life as worthless, then this matter may be difficult to handle."
Liu Enze responded, but his expression remained indifferent: "This is the first time Your Highness has been on the battlefield. Having been the Crown Prince in Wangjing City, many things in the camp may be quite different from what you have experienced and expected before."
"He needs to experience some things before he understands some principles. Otherwise, even if we try our best to persuade him, he may not listen."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes. Because she had tried to persuade him with all her heart, but the Crown Prince still wouldn't listen, she decided to teach him a lesson.
The reasoning is sound, but as those soldiers just said, using human lives as a lesson is a bit too cruel.
Ye Qing'an nodded, remained silent for a while, and then sighed: "Our army is now facing a very difficult situation."
"Although our camp has a larger number of men than the rebels, many of them are spies sent by the rebels."
"Not only are there spies, but infighting has also started in our camp."
"If we don't come up with a solution soon, I'm afraid our Siyou Kingdom's army will be defeated without a fight."
Liu Enze nodded, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's always a way out. You don't need to worry too much. Things will always turn around."
Will things ever turn around?
Ye Qing'an pondered Liu Enze's words for a moment, then narrowed her eyes slightly. Why was Liu Enze so certain?
Are you certain that things will take a turn for the better?
Could this be the turning point?
Or perhaps, all of this was Liu Enze's scheme?
Ye Qing'an pondered to herself, but on the surface she looked completely bewildered: "Okay."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and smiled: "Anyway, I don't know much about military affairs. But since Mr. Liu said there are no problems, then there must be no problems."
"Then I'll go back to my tent to rest."
"it is good."
Liu Enze nodded, and Ye Qing'an went straight back to his tent, sat down on a chair, and looked thoughtful.
If all of this was Liu Enze's scheme, then the previous incident with Qiao'er seems to have an explanation.
But why did Liu Enze do this?
Isn't Liu Enze one of Yi Yunkui's men?
Ye Qing'an silently recalled Liu Enze's words several times in his mind. Liu Enze said that the Crown Prince must experience some things in order to understand some principles.
Otherwise, no matter how much others talk, he won't listen.
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table. So, it was because the Crown Prince didn't listen to Liu Enze before that Liu Enze deliberately taught the Crown Prince a lesson?
If that's the case, what will Liu Enze do next?
Ye Qing'an pondered to himself that if Liu Enze's goal was to make the Crown Prince listen to him and follow his ideas, then Liu Enze would definitely offer his own opinions after the Crown Prince had learned his lesson, so that the Crown Prince would do as he wished.
Then, Liu Enze's words would help the Crown Prince solve the current difficulties he is facing, and the Crown Prince would then trust him completely and listen to him in everything...
To find out if Liu Enze was really planning this, we only need to see what he does next.
Ye Qing'an wasn't in a hurry.
By evening, the rumors had spread throughout the camp and were only growing stronger.
"I heard many people in the camp talking about how His Highness the Crown Prince disregards human life, treats it like dirt, and doesn't value their lives."
"Some people say that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't forget to bring women with him when he's in the camp. I've heard that there's been nightly revelry in the central command tent lately. How can someone like that sit firmly in the central command tent?"
"Then some people stirred things up, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince was being unreasonable and didn't respect the soldiers who fought and risked their lives on the battlefield. Why should they risk their lives for the Siyou Kingdom?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "The Crown Prince must have heard about these rumors by now, right? What was his reaction?"
Qingdai whispered, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince set a huge fire in the camp, but I haven't heard anything about any action taken there yet."
"However, I heard that the Crown Prince summoned all the generals he brought from Wangjing City, perhaps to discuss countermeasures."
Qingdai lowered her eyes: "I just ran into Qiao'er earlier. She told me that His Highness the Crown Prince summoned all the generals he brought from Wangjing City, which made the original generals in the camp feel a little uncomfortable."
"The original generals in this camp are also secretly meeting to discuss countermeasures."
Ye Qing'an nodded and responded, then turned to Qingdai and instructed, "Help me, have the people from Huohuang Pavilion investigate..."
"Investigate all information about Nightshade."
Upon hearing this, Qingdai laughed and said, "Ye Mei, actually, I had already asked the people from Huohuang Pavilion to investigate. We should have news soon. Once we have gathered the information, I will report back to you, Miss."
Ye Qing'an then raised her eyes and looked at Qingdai's face.
In fact, ever since she learned about Huohuang Pavilion and Shen Qingdai came to her side, she had been observing Shen Qingdai.
After all... the Fire Emperor Pavilion was not a force she had cultivated since childhood.
Shen Qingdai had always been the de facto head of Huohuang Pavilion. Now that this so-called master of Huohuang Pavilion has appeared, Shen Qingdai can only serve as a maid by her side. Can Shen Qingdai really accept such a change?
In fact, recently, it was probably because Shen Qingdai was also secretly getting used to her as her master that she felt that Shen Qingdai did things in a very proper and orderly manner...
However, Qingdai seems to have become a little more proactive in her actions lately.
Does this mean that she is gradually accepting herself?
