Chapter 539 What do you want to do?
The prince and his attendants stood there for a while before turning back to their tent.
In a nearby tent, Ye Qing'an gently lifted the felt mat and glanced into the distance. The lantern she had placed on the grass was still there.
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly. He raised his hand, flicked his sleeve, and a bubble was swept over by the wind.
As the sound-stealing bubble was blown into the tent, Ye Qing'an smiled and was about to put it into her sleeve when a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and touched the sound-stealing bubble. Instantly, the Crown Prince's voice rang out.
Ye Qing'an turned around abruptly, but almost bumped noses with the person behind her.
"Intentional?" The newcomer chuckled, nuzzling her forehead with the tip of his nose before lowering his head and looking intently at her. "It's only been a day since we last met, and Qing'an is already so enthusiastic towards me?"
The tip of her nose felt warm, and Ye Qing'an could only hear the thunderous pounding of her own heart.
Yi Moxu noticed that Ye Qing'an's ears were gradually turning a light red. He smiled slightly, raised his hand, and gently stroked Ye Qing'an's ears with the back of his hand before taking two steps back.
The Crown Prince's voice was still ringing out when Yi Moxu looked up at the tent entrance: "In the stillness of the night, with the stars and moon shining brightly, it's quite romantic for the Crown Prince and Qing'an to admire the stars and moon together and talk about their life ideals."
Ye Qing'an glanced at him but ignored him, then turned and sat down on the bed.
"The army is about to head to Qian'an, but Prince Duan doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all? He even has time to come here and keep an eye on things?"
"Of course, those worldly troubles are not as important as you."
As soon as Yi Moxu finished speaking, the Crown Prince's voice rang out from the whispering bubble: "If I could get into her bed, everything would be much simpler..."
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu were both taken aback. After a while, Yi Moxu turned around and looked at Ye Qing'an with a half-smile: "Miss Ye, you are quite the ladies' man. Even His Highness the Crown Prince is thinking about how to get into your bed every day."
Ye Qing'an coughed lightly. Although this matter had little to do with her, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
"What does it have to do with me? He wanted to get into my bed, not the other way around."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu, raised her hand, and put the whispering bubble into her sleeve, pretending that nothing had happened: "What are you doing here?"
"Come and see if Miss Ye has been obedient while I was away. As a result, I caught her doing this."
"..." Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and suddenly another whispering bubble floated up in her hand.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow at Yi Moxu: "Come, Prince Duan, repeat what you just said."
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Say it again? What? Miss Ye wants to use the Sound-Eavesdropping Bubble to preserve my voice forever, so that she can listen to it whenever she misses me? I didn't know that Miss Ye was already so deeply in love with me, so devoted."
Ye Qing'an thought to herself, "Shameless."
On the surface, however, he remained calm: "Yes, that's right. So, Prince Duan, please repeat it again. I will not only teach you to treasure it well and listen to it whenever you have time, but I will also bring it out for everyone to appreciate after Prince Duan's identity is made public. Let's see what kind of person the rumored aloof and superior Prince Duan is in private."
"Your aloofness and superiority are reserved for others, but your true self in private is only for you, and only for you."
This wasn't the first time Yi Moxu had said such a thing, but for some reason, Ye Qing'an's heart would still race every time she heard it.
Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "Who knows if you're telling the truth or not. Alright, hurry up, we've been traveling all day, I want to rest early, just say what you have to say."
Yi Moxu chuckled softly, but his expression became slightly more serious: "Do you usually go to see Abbot Minghua?"
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an suddenly remembered a question she had always wanted to ask when Yi Moxu brought it up: "Is Abbot Minghua one of your people?"
"I wouldn't say he's one of my people, but I would say he has some connection with me. If you want him to do something for you, I can help you."
“I do have a favor to ask.” Ye Qing’an raised her eyes slightly. “Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will most likely be going with me. At that time, I will ask Abbot Minghua to read my face in front of the Crown Prince.”
"When the time comes for the face reading, I hope Abbot Minghua will say this to His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her voice and told him what she wanted to do in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, Yi Moxu raised his eyes to look at Ye Qing'an: "What do you want to do?"
"Based on my deduction, Ye Zirui is most likely also a Night Demon, capable of weaving illusions. If that's the case, the Crown Prince is already under his control..."
"I want to find out who is behind Ye Zirui and Liu Xueying."
Ye Qing'an sat down by the bed: "Liu Xueying is dead. My only clue now is Ye Zirui. But with Liu Xueying dead, the mastermind behind her will most likely become suspicious. If I approach Ye Zirui at this time, it will be too obvious. So I want to approach... the Crown Prince first."
……
The next morning, they broke camp and set off again.
Just as the prince had told her, around dusk, the army arrived at the foot of Huguo Temple Mountain.
Just as Ye Qing'an got out of the car during evening classes, she heard the sound of a bell coming from the mountain. The deep sound of the bell echoed through the forest, instantly calming her heart.
"Miss Ye, shall we go up the mountain now?"
The Crown Prince has arrived before Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an smiled and nodded: "Let's go."
Upon reaching the top of the mountain, just as we arrived at the entrance of Huguo Temple, we saw a young novice monk standing there.
The young novice monk glanced up at Ye Qing'an and the Crown Prince, then quickly walked towards them: "Your Highness? Miss Ye?"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the Crown Prince: "Did His Highness send someone to inform Abbot Minghua in advance?"
The Crown Prince laughed heartily: "There's no need for prior notification. Abbot Minghua clasped his hands together, for he has all matters, big and small, of the world, in his heart."
"Yes." The young novice bowed. "The abbot foresaw that distinguished guests would be arriving today, and specially instructed this humble monk to wait here."
"The abbot is already waiting for you two in the meditation room. Please come this way, distinguished guests."
Ye Qing'an quickly responded and followed.
"Is Abbot Minghua really that powerful?" Ye Qing'an feigned curiosity.
"Naturally, Abbot Minghua's ability to interpret physiognomy and make predictions is almost world-renowned; he has never made a mistake or missed a prediction..."
