Chapter 541 Visitors to the Camp
true or false?
The Crown Prince pursed his lips: "It should be true. After all, Abbot Minghua's status is different. He doesn't need to flatter anyone or lie. If he wanted power and status, it would be easy for him. Both Father and I tried to bribe him before, but he refused."
"Then... then Ye Qing'an, is she truly destined to be a phoenix?"
"If Your Highness were to find a way to marry her, wouldn't your throne be secure?"
The Crown Prince's eyes seemed to sparkle, and after a long while, he smiled and said, "Yes, didn't you hear Abbot Minghua say that the person she chose is the ruler of this world? The ruler of the world is not just the ruler of Siyou Kingdom."
The Crown Prince paced back and forth in the room several times: "I will make Ye Qing'an my person, at all costs and by all means."
The attendant nodded, but hesitated: "But Abbot Minghua said that this is the person she has chosen as her destiny. If we force it, won't that break the fate and make it invalid?"
“That’s possible.” The Crown Prince frowned and narrowed his eyes. “But it doesn’t matter. For the next few months, Ye Qing’an will have to stay with me and by my side. I will find ways to prevent others from getting close to her. I will also find ways to make her fall deeply in love with me and marry no one else.”
"She's just a woman with little knowledge and experience. I refuse to believe I can't win her over."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise."
The crown prince walked to a chair and sat down. After sitting for a while, he tidied up and rested.
After the lights in the room went out, the servant closed the door and withdrew, standing guard by the door.
The room gradually fell silent. The servant lowered his head, and a cluster of light suddenly appeared at the tip of his finger. He raised his hand, and the light spread out in the night, transforming into the shape of a sheet of paper.
The servant raised his hand and gestured with his fingers in the air, and characters appeared on the scroll.
After the paper was filled with writing, the servant waved his hand, and the scroll of paper suddenly floated into the night sky.
In the bamboo forest not far away, Ye Qingan stood in the bamboo forest looking at the scene at the door of the side room. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes narrowed: "The technique of sending a message over a thousand miles seems to be quite obscure. It seems that not many people know it."
Yi Moxu stood beside her and glanced at Ye Qing'an upon hearing this: "It's a rather unorthodox technique. When ordinary people learn techniques, they usually choose those with strong offensive or defensive capabilities. These minor techniques are like the Eavesdropping Technique. Although many people have learned them, they are not used much, and many have forgotten them."
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on the servant: "I wonder who placed this servant by the Crown Prince's side."
"Ye Qinghao? Or perhaps Ye Zirui?" Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment: "Among those people around the Crown Prince who are so interested in my news, I can't think of anyone else but those two."
Ye Qing'an said calmly, "But there's no need to panic. Once this message is sent out, no matter who receives it, they will be eager to see it. We'll find out who shouldn't be here but is, and who is trying to get close to me."
Yi Moxu's lips curled up: "You've thrown in a huge bait. Have you ever thought that if this news gets out and becomes known to everyone, then you'll be in... danger."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "If the Crown Prince and the person behind this servant get the news, they would probably be eager to keep it a secret so that they can have a chance to get close to me. Of course, they would not let it become public knowledge. Don't worry, I have already thought about these things."
“The most difficult thing to calculate is the human heart.” Yi Moxu’s fingers twitched slightly. “But Miss Ye has calculated the human heart so clearly. She is truly an extraordinary master.”
"Is Prince Duan afraid?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "If he is afraid, it's not too late for Prince Duan to withdraw now."
Yi Moxu couldn't help but chuckle: "Afraid? I've never known how to write that word since I was born."
Ye Qing'an turned her head and met Yi Moxu's gaze. Yi Moxu then extended his hand to Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an smiled and placed her hand in Yi Moxu's.
……
The next morning, before dawn, Ye Qing'an returned to the camp with the Crown Prince and broke camp.
The past few days have been spent traveling, but things have been relatively calm.
On the fifth day, an unexpected person suddenly appeared in the camp.
"The Fifth Prince?" Ye Qing'an frowned slightly. "Why is the Fifth Prince here?"
"This servant does not know either; I only encountered the Fifth Prince in the camp just now."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, her mind racing. "Let's wait and see how things develop."
Although she knew that the Fifth Prince had entered the camp, two days passed and Ye Qing'an still hadn't seen him in person.
On the third day, due to rain, they were unable to set off all day. It wasn't until the rain stopped near dusk that Ye Qing'an went out for a walk and happened to meet the Fifth Prince.
Ye Qing'an laughed: "I heard that the Fifth Prince came to the camp a couple of days ago, but I haven't seen him yet. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."
The Fifth Prince smiled as well: "It's true. I had planned to come and see you before, but I never had the chance. What a coincidence..."
Is that a coincidence?
Ye Qing'an's mind raced for a moment: "Why did you suddenly come to the camp? Are you also going to Qian'an with the army to quell the rebellion?"
“No.” Yi Xiao shook her head: “Something happened in Jinan City, and my father asked me to go there to take a look. I received my father’s message on the third day after you left. I thought that Jinan and Qian’an were in the same direction, and the army was moving a bit slower. If I rode fast, I should still be able to catch up. Sure enough, I did catch up.”
The third day after they left?
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly; that was the day after she went to Huguo Temple and received the Phoenix Order from Abbot Minghua.
She couldn't believe such a coincidence could happen in the world...
Therefore, the attendant beside the Crown Prince that day was not delivering a message to Ye Qinghao or Ye Zirui, but to the Fifth Prince.
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly. If it were the Fifth Prince, then this matter would seem even more interesting.
"You've been traveling with the army for so many days now, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and nodded: "It's alright. There are only two women in the camp, me and my maid. Everyone else in the camp takes good care of us. Everything is fine."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she saw the Crown Prince walking over quickly, his expression not very pleasant.
