Chapter 496 Perhaps there is another possibility
Ye Qinghao turned his head: "Have someone investigate, find out what Ye Zirui has been doing lately, who he's met. Investigate further..."
Ye Qinghao suddenly remembered that he had kept Ye Zirui by the Crown Prince's side for so long. If Ye Zirui was indeed Ye Mei, capable of weaving illusions, then the Crown Prince...
Having spent so much time with Ye Zirui, the Crown Prince has likely already fallen into Ye Zirui's trap, deceived by his illusions, and placed great trust in him. He may even have done many things he shouldn't have.
Although it is unknown what Ye Zirui did to the Crown Prince, Ye Zirui is a Night Demon who can bewitch people.
Ye Qinghao couldn't help but shudder: "Investigate again. Has His Highness the Crown Prince done anything strange lately? For example... for example, a drastic change in temperament. For example, the sudden appearance of someone who has never appeared before, but who has become very favored by His Highness the Crown Prince. Be as detailed as possible, don't miss a single clue."
If the Crown Prince is being manipulated by Ye Zirui, then seven or eight out of ten of the things the Crown Prince has done recently are not his true intentions.
Perhaps, we can roughly deduce Ye Zirui's purpose from these events.
"Yes." Seeing Ye Qinghao's appearance, the butler hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice to persuade him, "Second Young Master, you practically grew up in front of Master. You personally taught him. If there were any problems, Grandpa wouldn't be completely unaware. Master, you don't need to worry too much."
"Yes, she grew up in front of me and was personally taught by me."
That's why he became increasingly suspicious.
He felt that many details about Ye Zirui were emerging one by one, and many things he had overlooked suddenly came to mind.
He always thought that Ye Zirui was very smart, and he also thought that Ye Zirui was extremely good at pleasing people. Whether it was the Crown Prince, or some of the subordinates and colleagues that he had introduced to Ye Zirui before, or the young masters of other noble families, Ye Zirui was able to quickly become one with them and get some useful information from them.
He previously thought that Ye Zirui was good at getting along with people, knew how to please them, and was very good at talking.
But upon closer reflection now, I feel that perhaps there is another possibility...
Ye Qinghao felt that suspicion had taken root in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Zirui seemed strange in every way, and that everything he did was unusual.
Ye Qinghao took a deep breath. Fortunately, although he had always kept Ye Zirui by his side to teach him, he had not revealed a single secret about the Ye family.
"Let's investigate first."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an returned to the courtyard, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Now that Ye Qinghao is back, he must have heard the sound-stealing bubbles that were placed in the mourning hall before, right?
Ye Qing'an wasn't worried that Ye Qinghao wouldn't suspect anything. After all, Ye Qing'an knew better than anyone that no one in a high position was without suspicion.
She has now planted a seed of doubt in Ye Qinghao's heart, and this doubt will, like a seed, gradually take root and sprout in Ye Qinghao's heart.
Regardless of whether Ye Zirui is truly a Night Demon or possesses the ability to weave illusions, once Ye Qinghao begins to doubt Ye Zirui, Ye Zirui has already lost.
"Miss seems to be in a good mood?" Granny Wei looked at Ye Qing'an with some curiosity, really not knowing why Ye Qing'an's mood suddenly improved after going to the study.
"I'm in a good mood." Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "I was originally just a Holy Spirit Body, but I inexplicably leveled up to a Supreme Being. How could I not be in a good mood?"
After thinking about it, Granny Wei realized that it made sense. Only one Supreme Being appears every few decades, and her young lady had gotten a great deal, which was completely unexpected by everyone.
"Furthermore, I plan to send Doctor Xu back to the manor. The thought of seeing him soon will naturally make me feel even better."
"..." Granny Wei was speechless. This young lady was far too audacious.
Although Doctor Xu was... well, his position was ultimately illegitimate.
However, that Doctor Xu was truly handsome.
With that face, I doubt many women could resist it.
Granny Wei bit her lip: "It's good that Doctor Xu is back. At least there's someone to talk to. Now that Master is in trouble, Liu Xueying is in trouble, and the Second Young Master has been sent away, Miss has no one to talk to."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an returned to her room, where the food was already laid out. After dinner, Ye Qing'an sat on the soft couch and started reading.
Granny Wei and Zixiao went to do their own things, and Ye Qing'an simply waved Qingdai away as well, turning the pages of the book in her hand: "Find me a list of beauties from the martial arts world from fifteen years ago, I want to take a look."
A white shadow flashed, and Jiuxiao appeared in the room: "A list of beauties from the martial arts world fifteen years ago? What do you need such an old list for? Shouldn't you have something more recent?"
Su Qian'an merely raised her eyes, and Jiu Xiao quickly said, "I know, I won't ask, I won't ask. I'll go find it right now, okay?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled but remained silent.
By evening, when Ye Qing'an arrived at the Dreamland of Clouds, Jiu Xiao had already brought the items.
“Fifteen years ago.” Jiu Xiao sighed. “Fortunately, although this thing is old, it’s not hard to find. It’s just that it cost a lot of money. You don’t know, if you buy this the most recent one, it only costs one tael of silver, but this one from fifteen years ago costs fifty taels. It’s like robbing someone.”
Ye Qing'an ignored his rambling and simply opened the book.
Gu Yayun is ranked first.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. Consort Yun?
Ye Qing'an thought about Gu Ya Yun's appearance and realized that she was indeed beautiful. Even after so many years, Gu Ya Yun was still considered a beauty. No wonder the Gu family sent her to the palace back then, after all, she was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world.
Turn the pages, and you'll find the brocade of night flowers.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the portrait on the left side of the book page, and she paused for a moment.
Just as Granny Wei said, Ye Qing'an's appearance actually resembles Ye Huajin's by three or four points.
However, Ye Qing'an's face shape, nose, and lips are more like Su Wan's.
Although it's only three or four points, if used well, it can have the effect of ten points.
Ye Qing'an stared intently at Ye Huajin's portrait for a long time before handing it to Jiu Xiao.
"What are you doing?" Jiuxiao looked down and said, "This woman is indeed beautiful, but what does her beauty have to do with me? Have you forgotten that I am just a spirit beast? Even if I were to find a mate, I would have to find a spirit beast. How can I, a human, fall in love with someone of a different race?"
"..." Seeing the cold glint in Ye Qing'an's eyes, Jiu Xiao coughed lightly, examined the portrait carefully again, and then looked up at Ye Qing'an: "Hmm, this person looks a bit like you?"
"Could it be that you only looked for this book because of this? Just to see people who look like you but are listed in the beauty directory?"
Ye Qing'an's voice grew even colder: "This is Ye Huajin. Make me a human skin mask of hers."
"..."
