After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she recalled the way Gu Duo looked when she said those words, and then she regretted it.
"Forget it, to be honest, Gu Duo is quite a devoted lover, and he hasn't done anything wrong... Forget it, just say you can't find Ye Huajin."
Seeing Yu Jie leave, Ye Qing'an sighed, her brows furrowing slightly, but then she thought of something else: "If Gu Duo's betrayal of the country and defection to the enemy was related to Yi Yun Kui, then could Yi Yun Kui know anything about the whereabouts of Gu Duo's missing soul?"
"Unfortunately, Yi Yun Kui has been staying in the palace, and the palace is protected by restrictions, preventing him from using spiritual power. Otherwise..."
Yi Moxu withdrew his gaze from Ye Qing'an and took a sip of tea: "Being unable to use spiritual power doesn't mean there's no way out."
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow.
Yi Moxu put down her teacup, raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly: "Miss Ye, aren't you going to take me to see the Emperor tomorrow? Has Miss Ye forgotten who I am?"
who?
Ye Qing'an was almost stunned by Yi Moxu's question: Prince Duan? Yi Yunkui's son?
Oh……
Ye Qing'an suddenly realized: "A medical cultivator?"
“Yes.” Yi Moxu’s smile deepened. “I’m also a medical cultivator, a medical cultivator who is proficient in both medicine and poison.”
A master of both medicine and poison?
"Poison?" Ye Qing'an's eyes lit up. It was indeed an excellent idea, but...
“Yi Yun Kui will indeed meet with us tomorrow, but he won’t summon us alone. Besides the eunuchs around him and the palace guards, there will definitely be countless hidden guards around Yi Yun Kui. Even if we use poison to get information out of Yi Yun Kui, it won’t be easy.”
Yi Moxu, however, leaned back in his chair casually, looking confident and nonchalant: "It would indeed be difficult for someone else to do this."
Ye Qing'an raised his eyebrows, implying that it would be easy for him to do it?
Yi Moxu curled the corners of his mouth: "I have a kind of poison that can make people appear to have no symptoms of poisoning, but still make them answer any questions."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes: "There's such a poison?"
"Such poisons are readily available in some low-class places, such as brothels, gambling dens, and the black market. However, because they are considered low-class and can cause some side effects, people of higher status generally disdain using them. After I discovered this substance, I thought it would be extremely useful for interrogating people if I improved it. So I slightly modified the formula based on the original recipe. The effect is even better than before, and it won't leave any side effects. After the detoxification, the poisoned person will feel nothing at all."
Ye Qing'an's eyes brightened: "It sounds pretty good, we can give it a try."
Yi Moxu smiled and nodded: "As long as we can get rid of the eunuch who serves Yi Yunkui, everything will be much easier."
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a glimmer in each other's eyes, and almost simultaneously said, "It's a secret."
After saying that, he laughed again.
Ye Qing'an touched the human skin mask on her face, then summoned Jiu Xiao, took the potion to remove the disguise, put on an outer robe, tied her hair up, and then went with Yi Moxu to see Gu Duo.
Gu Duo seemed to have gone mad, his hair disheveled and his expression frantic: "I just saw it, I saw Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua is definitely in your hands, hand her over now, or I will never let this go."
Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an watched from afar: "I finally managed to stabilize his condition a little, but you caused this mess, and everything is back to the way it was when he first arrived. All our previous efforts have been wasted."
Ye Qing'an felt a little guilty. She knew that the most innocent person in this matter was Gu Duo.
Gu Duo's previous rebellion was a lie, and he later suffered such a tragic end, separated from his beloved by death, his soul was taken away, and he was wantonly trampled and humiliated, and even imprisoned in a dark dungeon for ten whole years.
Now, her feud with the Ye family, and the turmoil in Wangjing, have long since become irrelevant to Gu Duo.
But because he held some secrets, she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, using any means necessary to obtain some clues from him.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath: "There won't be a next time. I will find a way to find out where Gu Duo's lost soul is and retrieve it for him. Then everything will be clear."
Yi Moxu hummed in agreement, her gaze still fixed on Gu Duo not far away: "Taking back his soul and making him remember what happened ten years ago may not necessarily be a good thing."
"Although the memories he lost may not be good ones, they are still his own. Whether good or bad, he has the right to know them and to make his own choices and decisions about his life. Moreover, the dignified Prince Dingxi would certainly prefer to die standing rather than live a muddled and miserable life on his knees."
Yi Moxu's gaze lingered on Gu Duo, and he suddenly recalled the days six years ago when his meridians were severed and his martial arts were completely destroyed. Those were the darkest and most depressing days of his life...
Yi Moxu withdrew his gaze: "Then let's find a way to bring his soul back."
Ye Qing'an nodded, having gained some insight.
Although Gu Duo has lost his memory, he still has a spirit beast.
When Gu Duo betrayed the country, he didn't take any of his close confidants with him; the only thing he took was that water unicorn.
Everyone else thought that the water unicorn had forcibly broken its contract with Gu Duo, but she knew that the contract between the water unicorn and Gu Duo was still in effect.
Furthermore, although the water unicorn's spiritual power was weakened due to the loss of Gu Duo's soul, and because Gu Duo was missing, no one could communicate with him properly, it seemed that everything had been completely buried.
But in reality, that's not the case.
Ye Qing'an returned to the Cloud Dream Realm and saw Jiu Xiao watching Zhang San forging a spiritual weapon not far away.
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an return, Jiu Xiao reluctantly returned to Ye Qing'an's side: "I took some of the spirit weapons that Zhang San forged and sold them, and they sold quite well."
Ye Qing'an responded, her gaze fixed on Jiu Xiao.
Jiu Xiao felt uneasy under Ye Qing'an's gaze; his hair stood on end, and he quickly backed away, asking, "What are you doing?"
He paused for a moment before tentatively saying, "Those spirit weapons did indeed fetch a lot of silver, but lately there's been a lot going on—bribing officials, buying you shops, recruiting soldiers—everything costs money."
Seeing that Ye Qing'an was still staring at him, Jiu Xiao stamped his foot, somewhat annoyed: "Alright, alright, I only hid a hundred taels of silver. It's not much, just enough for me to eat well for a month. I'll hand it over."
As soon as Jiu Xiao finished speaking, he sensed something flying out of Ye Qing'an's sleeve and entangling him.
"..."
Jiuxiao's eyes widened: "What are you doing? It's only one hundred taels of silver, is it really worth it?"
Ye Qing'an slowly approached: "I asked you to seduce that water unicorn from the Gu family before, why did you always hesitate and dawdle and refuse to go?"
"what?"
