Chapter 508 Just wait and see the show?
Gu Duo's hair was soaked with sweat, and his face was pale. Under Ye Qing'an's gaze, he suddenly let out a painful roar, then his eyes went blank, and he collapsed.
Ye Qing'an quickly raised her hand and used magic to lift Gu Duo up, slowly lowering him to the ground.
Gu Duo was soaked in sweat, as if he had just gone through a battle. The heaving of his chest gradually subsided, and his eyes closed.
"Someone come here!" Ye Qing'an shouted loudly.
Before long, Yu Jie arrived in a hurry with his men, including Yi Moxu.
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face, then turned to Gu Duo on the ground. He quickly walked over to Gu Duo, squatted down, and raised his hand to check Gu Duo's pulse.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
Yi Moxu shook his head: "It's nothing serious. It's just that his emotions fluctuated too much, which caused him to suddenly faint. He will wake up soon after resting for a while."
After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he turned around and instructed Yu Jie: "Carry Mr. Gu inside and put him on the bed to rest properly."
"Yes."
Yu Jie and his men carried Gu Duo into the house, and Yi Moxu then looked at Ye Qing'an: "Shall we go for a walk?"
"Ah."
Yi Moxu led Ye Qing'an to another small courtyard, personally poured tea, and placed the teacup in front of Ye Qing'an: "Aren't you going to take off your disguise?"
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and touched the mask on her face: "To remove this disguise, you need a special solution. I didn't bring any with me, so I'll remove it when I get back."
Yi Moxu nodded, his gaze falling on Ye Qing'an's face: "You and your aunt do look somewhat alike."
"Hmm," Ye Qing'an responded, "After all, we're still aunt and niece."
Yi Moxu nodded, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "What did you say to Gu Duo? Why was he so emotional?"
Ye Qing'an didn't intend to hide anything: "I disguised myself as Ye Huajin and asked why Gu Duo betrayed the country and defected to the enemy back then."
"Oh?"
"Gu Duo said that he did not betray his country and that everything was a lie."
Yi Moxu paused slightly in his teacup: "You didn't betray your country and defect to the enemy? It was all a lie? What does that mean?"
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her thin lips pressed tightly together. She quickly processed Gu Duo's words in her mind before shaking her head: "I don't know either. In fact, just as I was about to ask further, Gu Duo broke out in a cold sweat, clutching his head as if he had a splitting headache, and then he fainted."
Yi Moxu was not surprised: "Gu Duo's soul is incomplete, his memory is also missing, and his mind is unclear. Even if he had the memories before, it would indeed be difficult for him to recall them and express them clearly."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "I previously heard from Granny Wei about Gu Duo and Ye Huajin, and I heard..."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes to look at Yi Moxu, carefully choosing her words: "I heard that back then, Gu Duo and Ye Huajin finally gained the approval of the Ye family and were about to get married when Ye Huajin suddenly fell seriously ill. Medicine was useless. It was Yi Yunkui who found a famous doctor to treat Ye Huajin. But while Ye Huajin was recuperating with that doctor, Gu Duo suddenly betrayed the country and defected to the enemy."
“When I learned about this, I suspected that there was more to Gu Duo’s defection to the enemy than met with suspicion. After all, although I was not familiar with Gu Duo, based on our few interactions, he seemed to be a very affectionate person. It was quite strange that he would defect to the enemy at that time.”
“Last night, when this human skin mask was just finished, I went to Ye Qinghao’s place and tried to get some information out of him. Ye Qinghao said that Ye Huajin’s death was not because, or rather, not only because of hearing the news of Gu Duo’s defection, but because Yi Yunkui attempted to assault Ye Huajin, and Ye Huajin resisted to the death. In addition, she received the news of Gu Duo’s defection, which led to her death.”
Ye Qing'an twirled the teacup on the table with her fingers: "So I always felt that Gu Duo's defection to the enemy might be related to Yi Yun Kui. After all, if Gu Duo's defection was a lie, then who could have instructed Gu Duo to take such a big risk to become an undercover agent and a spy?"
"I just don't understand why Yi Yun Kui would do this?"
Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: "A fox will always show its tail. Gu Duo is now in our hands. The most important thing now is to find his missing soul. Once we find Gu Duo's missing soul, all the secrets will no longer be secrets."
“We have no idea where that lost soul is right now.” Ye Qing’an sighed. “Gu Duo reacted so strongly to this mask on my face. I’m afraid that once it’s used this time, it will be difficult to use it again.”
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she looked at Yi Moxu again, her eyes filled with a cunning and calculating look.
"The way you look at me always gives me a bad feeling."
Ye Qing'an chuckled lightly: "Today, there are some rumors circulating outside about you and me. Because of those rumors, I was summoned to the palace by Yi Yun Kui today, and he asked about you."
"Oh?" Yi Moxu didn't seem to care much. After all, the person who was spreading rumors about Ye Qing'an was Xu Mo, the physician of the Ye family, not him, Yi Moxu.
But looking at Ye Qing'an's expression, Yi Moxu suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined: "Then what did you say?"
"Of course I told the truth." Ye Qing'an curled the corners of his mouth: "However, it is probably because I told the truth that Yi Yun Kui is very interested in you. Hearing that you will be returning to Wangjing City tomorrow, he specifically instructed me to take you to the palace to meet the emperor after you enter the city tomorrow."
"An audience with the Emperor..." Ye Qing'an's eyes and brows were full of smiles: "This is a grace that ordinary people would beg for. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have this opportunity. Hurry up and thank me."
Yi Moxu paused, holding the teacup, and stared intently at Ye Qing'an, momentarily unsure of what expression to make.
Is this guy just waiting to see a good show?
Yi Moxu gently shook his head: "How come you always have so much free time?"
"Because I have free time."
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Yi Yunkui doesn't even know who I am, what's there to be excited about?"
“Yi Yun Kui doesn’t know you are Yi Mo Xu, but you do. I find that quite interesting.”
As the two were talking, they saw Yu Jie rushing over.
"My lord, Gu Duo has woken up and is making a fuss about wanting to see Xiao Hua."
Ye Qing'an turned her head and looked at Gu Duo, and the two of them were silent for a moment.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Let's not. I'm afraid he'll faint again. He's lost a soul and a spirit now, and his body is at its weakest."
"And I know his claim of defecting to the enemy is false; I probably won't get any more information from him. If he really insists on seeing..."
Ye Qing'an secretly pondered: "If he really wants to see me, then tell him... in fact, his Xiao Hua is already dead. She was killed by Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang told Xiao Hua about his treason and defection to the enemy. Xiao Huang also intended to assault Xiao Hua."
“Tell him that what he saw earlier was just Xiaohua’s soul. Xiaohua harbored resentment and was unable to reincarnate.”
