Chapter 544 Who is the person inside the tent?
The guards who were originally stationed outside the tent had long been dismissed by the Crown Prince, who then surrounded the tent where Ye Qing was staying and awaited orders.
About fifteen minutes later, someone rushed over.
"Fifth Prince, please wait."
The person was stopped before they could get close.
Yi Xiao frowned: "What are you doing here? Wasn't Miss Ye's tent on fire?"
"The fire is out, and there's nothing seriously wrong. However, just now, His Highness the Crown Prince rushed into the tent to save Miss Ye, but who would have thought that the smoke had been tampered with, containing an aphrodisiac? His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Ye were affected by the drug..."
Yi Xiao suddenly turned her head: "So the drug took effect and you left the Crown Prince and Miss Ye in that tent? How could you be so foolish? If they were drugged, you could have called the army doctor for an antidote, or at the very least, put them in ice water to gradually weaken the effects. But you..."
"It was His Highness the Crown Prince who gave the order, and I was merely following orders." The general interrupted Yi Xiao, "Fifth Prince, please don't make things difficult for me."
Yi Xiao's fingers curled slightly, his throat bobbed, and he used his sword to push away the general's hand that was blocking him: "Get out! You're just a dog that only knows how to obey and can't judge the pros and cons, I don't blame you. But have you ever thought about what Miss Ye's status is now? She is the Supreme One, the daughter of Prime Minister Ye. If Miss Ye wakes up and knows the truth and gets angry, do you think you can bear the consequences?"
"Fifth Prince!" The general was also somewhat surprised. This Fifth Prince had always been indecisive, gentle and refined, and had never been angry. But he never expected that he would have a temper.
"Fifth Prince?" A familiar female voice suddenly came from behind: "What is the Fifth Prince doing here? What's going on? Why are so many people gathered here?"
Yi Xiao suddenly turned around and saw Ye Qing'an walking out from behind a tent, looking somewhat bewildered.
"What happened?"
Everyone present, except for Ye Qing'an, suddenly changed their expressions.
"Miss Ye? What are you doing here, Miss Ye?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing'an looked even more bewildered: "I had some insomnia tonight and couldn't fall asleep. Then I saw that the tent had caught fire at some point. I quickly woke up my maid and shouted 'Fire!' before hurriedly unbuttoning one of the tent buttons and escaping."
"My maid and I had just escaped when we saw someone launching a night attack. The attacker seemed to have seen me and turned to run away, so I hurriedly chased after him."
"I chased him for quite a distance before catching up with him. After knocking him unconscious, I handed him over to my maid to deal with. I was worried that there were many people attacking at night and that something might happen in the camp, so I rushed back."
The general's gaze was fixed on Ye Qing'an, but his heart skipped a beat: "Your Highness, His Highness just entered Miss Ye's tent and said there was something strange about the smoke. He and Miss Ye have both been drugged with aphrodisiacs, and he told us to stay away."
"If Miss Ye is here, then who is the person in the tent with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ye Qing'an blinked: "I...I don't know..."
Yi Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an, seemingly lost in thought: "Aren't you going to go check on him? If anything happens to His Highness, you will be held responsible!"
Upon hearing this, the general hurriedly led his men towards Ye Qing'an's tent.
Ye Qing'an and Yi Xiao exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
As soon as I reached the outside of the tent, I heard some sounds coming from inside, mixed with breathy and muffled groans that made my heart race.
"Where's the torch? Bring the torch here."
As the general listened to the commotion inside, he felt his heart beating even faster.
Miss Ye and her maid are not in this tent, so who exactly are the people in this camp who are connected to His Highness the Crown Prince...?
A soldier handed over a torch, and the general took it, feeling his hand tremble slightly as he held it.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince? Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
The general entered the tent with a torch in hand, and the tent was gradually illuminated by the firelight. The general could already see the situation inside the camp.
The general's eyes widened in terror, and he almost instinctively took a step back: "Get out!"
However, he called out a little too late, as Ye Qing'an and Yi Xiao had already stepped inside.
"My God!" Ye Qing'an exclaimed in surprise, "What... what exactly is going on?"
Clothes were scattered everywhere in the tent, and on the bed, several pale bodies were piled up, doing something indecent.
Hidden at the very bottom was none other than the Crown Prince.
Ye Qing'an hurriedly turned her face away and left.
The Fifth Prince immediately called out, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly, someone come in and separate them!"
"Yes."
"Help His Highness put on his clothes."
The Fifth Prince took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the general: "After such a thing happened, let's see how you explain it to His Highness the Crown Prince later."
"Your subordinate, I admit my guilt. But I really didn't know it would turn out this way. I was just following His Highness the Crown Prince's orders."
The Fifth Prince sneered, "His Highness the Crown Prince gave the order? What's that thing on your neck for? Can't you use your brain? Even if the person inside really is Miss Ye, do you think the Ye family will let this go? Even if the Ye family doesn't say anything, do you know that Miss Ye is someone Father Emperor is preparing to bring into the palace? If Father Emperor investigates, can you bear the consequences?"
The general's face turned deathly pale; he hadn't thought of any of this.
"Tonight, arrest and interrogate those people in this camp who are with the Crown Prince... find out what happened, then deal with them. Also, make sure none of the men you and the guards outside are spared."
"As for you..."
"I will certainly keep my mouth shut and will not easily reveal a single word about what happened tonight."
Yi Xiao scoffed: "As for you, I'll leave you to His Highness the Crown Prince's disposal. Whether you live or die, let His Highness decide."
The general felt his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. If he were handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince, he would truly have no chance of survival.
"Go find another military medic..."
The Fifth Prince paused for a moment before continuing, "Find a trustworthy military doctor to come and examine His Highness the Crown Prince. I suspect the dosage of the medicine His Highness has taken is quite heavy; we need a military doctor to take a look."
"Yes."
The general took a deep breath before turning and leaving the tent.
I had only walked a short distance when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck, and then I lost consciousness.
