Chapter 507 I don't have
Before the eunuch could say anything more, Yi Yun Kui raised his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. As long as they, as sons, don't pressure me, I don't want to make things difficult for them."
Yi Yun Kui tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "How's the investigation into Gu Duo going? Is Gu Duo really dead or not?"
"The investigation is still ongoing." The eunuch bowed his head.
Yi Yun Kui immediately became somewhat dissatisfied: "Investigating? It's been so long? Haven't you found any clues yet?"
Yi Yun Kui took a deep breath: "Even though I extracted Gu Duo's soul before, and he would only be a madman for the rest of his life if he lived, I still cannot let him live. He knows too many secrets about me. If he lives, my heart will never be at peace."
"Yes."
"Go investigate immediately! Even if his body is just scattered bones, I need to see the body."
"Yes."
Yi Yun Kui pursed his lips and murmured softly, "Only the dead, only the dead, can keep secrets. Gu Duo knows too much; he cannot live."
……
Ye Qing'an had no idea what Yi Yun Kui was thinking, but she was also eyeing Gu Duo.
That night, Ye Qing'an put on the Ye Huajin human skin mask, changed his clothes, and went to Li Huo Pavilion.
Inside the Li Huo Pavilion, torches were lit everywhere, making it as bright as day.
Ye Qing'an turned around and glanced at the lanterns and torches lit everywhere: "Have someone extinguish some of the torches and lanterns in the pavilion, so they won't be so bright."
"Yes."
It's only when things are hazy and indistinct that they can fool people.
After the lights in Li Huo Pavilion dimmed a little, Ye Qing'an went to the small courtyard where Gu Duo lived.
According to Yu Jie, probably because he had been imprisoned alone for so many years, Gu Duo's five senses were extremely sharp at all times. In addition, Ye Qing'an deliberately made a little noise. Just as Ye Qing'an entered the yard and was about to pick up the rabbit in the yard, Gu Duo suddenly appeared behind Ye Qing'an. Almost without any pause, Gu Duo's hand attacked Ye Qing'an.
Just then, Ye Qing'an turned her head, still smiling, but when she saw the scene before her, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Gu Duo had already seen Ye Qing'an's face, his hand suddenly paused, and then he withdrew it.
The movement was too fast, and Gu Duo was jolted back several steps before he could barely regain his balance.
Just as he regained his footing, Gu Duo rushed forward with lightning speed and grabbed Ye Qing'an's hand: "Xiao Hua! You are Xiao Hua!"
Ye Qing'an held the rabbit, tilting her head slightly, her eyes seemingly filled with doubt.
"I'm Xiaobai, have you forgotten me?"
"Xiao Bai." In order to avoid Gu Duo noticing something was wrong, Ye Qing'an lowered her voice. After speaking, she glanced at Gu Duo again and then frowned: "You are not Xiao Bai. They said that Xiao Bai is missing, that Xiao Bai has betrayed the country and abandoned me, and will never come back."
"Treason and collusion with the enemy?" Gu Duo seemed stunned for a moment, then his eyes changed, becoming flustered and at a loss.
Ye Qing'an continued, "Do you know how I felt during the most difficult days when I learned that you had betrayed the country and the enemy? I wished I could just die."
Perhaps it was Ye Qing'an's word "death" that provoked Gu Duo, for Gu Duo suddenly clutched his head and roared, "Ahhh!"
Gu Duo, who had been imprisoned for ten years, was already emaciated, pale, and had half a head of hair, making him look somewhat frightening. Now, his eyes were bloodshot and his whole face was distorted.
Ye Qing stopped in her tracks, staring intently at Gu Duo, tears glistening in her eyes.
“You don’t want me anymore. They say you think I’m a burden…”
"No, that's not it, that's not it!" Gu Duo shouted again, then, as if startled, quickly leaped onto the roof: "It's not like that, it's..."
Gu Duo was speaking when he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
No, that's not it. What is it then?
Why did he instinctively refute her words, yet he couldn't explain why?
Gu Duo paused, looking somewhat bewildered.
Upon seeing his expression, Ye Qing'an roughly guessed what had happened and tried to provoke him, asking, "Was it Xiao Huang? Did Xiao Huang say something to you?"
"Little Huang?" Gu Duo murmured the name blankly, his mind seemingly exploding, only able to mutter, "Little Huang? Little Huang..."
As Gu Duo murmured to himself, he looked at the familiar face on Ye Qing'an's face. Something flashed through his mind, a series of images and sounds.
Majestic, familiar, and seductive.
"Hua Jin's current illness requires a medicinal catalyst, but this catalyst is extremely difficult to find. Rumor has it that it resides in the Bright Moon Kingdom, guarded by the royal family. Stealing or robbing it would be difficult; there is only one way..."
"You can pretend to defect to the enemy, and in this way, you can penetrate deep into the Bright Moon Kingdom and investigate the secret of that medicinal ingredient."
"You can also pretend to defect to the enemy and gather intelligence on the Bright Moon Kingdom for me. We can work together from the inside and outside to take the Bright Moon Kingdom into our hands. At that time, you will be the greatest contributor. I can even give the Bright Moon Kingdom as a reward and make it your territory."
"The Ye family has always looked down on your status as the son of a concubine and has been unwilling to marry Ye Huajin to you. If you make such a great contribution and have your own fiefdom, you can use all of this as a betrothal gift to marry the most beautiful girl in your heart."
"Furthermore, if this plan succeeds, I can also give you that thing you've always wanted..."
"However, you'll have to put up with this. Since it's a pretense of defection, in order to ensure that the Bright Moon Kingdom accepts you without any reservations and to make this seem real, you must guarantee that this matter will be kept absolutely secret. You can't tell anyone, not even the Gu family or Ye Huajin."
"Don't worry, I will make the arrangements so that everyone keeps quiet about Ye Huajin. She will know nothing and will be fine, waiting for your triumphant return."
All the sounds gradually overlapped in my mind.
Gu Duo's head was throbbing with pain, and he quickly covered his head, sweat dripping from his forehead. Gu Duo shook his head rapidly: "No, it's not like that, I didn't betray my country and defect to the enemy, I didn't."
Did he not betray his country and defect to the enemy?
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Everyone knew that Gu Duo had betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, but Gu Duo said he hadn't.
So, what's the hidden story behind this?
"It's all fake, it's all fake!" Gu Duo's sweat gradually thickened, dripping incessantly down his cheeks. "It's all fake, the treason is fake, it's all fake. I didn't betray my country and defect to the enemy..."
Ye Qing'an's hands, hidden in her sleeves, gradually clenched: "Is it fake? You didn't betray your country and defect to the enemy? Was it the Emperor? Did the Emperor ask you to pretend to betray your country and defect to the enemy? I know that many operas have such plots. You pretend to betray your country and defect to the enemy, but you are actually an undercover agent, going to Mingyue Kingdom to gather information, right? And why did the Emperor ask you to do this?"
