Chapter 488 Means
"Feel?" Yi Yun Kui didn't believe it.
“Yes, that’s the feeling.” Ye Qing’an bit her lip. “Your Majesty can investigate whether Madam Gu has been acting strangely lately, or whether someone has threatened her. When I looked at Madam Gu’s expression before, I felt that everything she did before, whether it was causing trouble at the Ye residence or committing suicide through the magic I used, was out of necessity.”
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Yun Kui's first reaction was to subconsciously glance at Ye Qing'an.
"Okay, I understand." Yi Yun Kui nodded, paused, and then continued, "I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly. Besides, I would also like to ask, have you considered the matter I mentioned before?"
Ye Qing'an stiffened, biting her lip and remaining silent.
"If you have any ideas or requests, whether it's about titles, ranks, palaces, or the like, you can tell me."
Ye Qing'an quickly shook her head, her expression slightly flustered: "Your Majesty... there have been too many things happening in the manor lately. I haven't rested since I returned home late the night before last, and I really haven't had the chance to calm down and think about this issue carefully. I don't know how to answer Your Majesty, so please grant me a few more days."
“Alright.” Yi Yun Kui didn’t press the matter. He glanced at Ye Qing An seemingly casually before saying in a low voice, “If you were the eldest daughter of the Ye family, this matter would be difficult to handle. After all, the Gu family and the Ye family have a long-standing feud. No matter what you do, as long as you represent the Gu family, it will be hard to resolve this peacefully. But if you are one of my concubines, and have no further connection with the Ye family, then no matter what the final investigation results are, I will have a hundred or a thousand ways to exonerate you.”
Ye Qing'an paused, naturally understanding the meaning behind Yi Yun Kui's words. She bit her lip and remained silent.
Yi Yun Kui chuckled. He had already made his words clear enough. As long as Ye Qing An wasn't stupid, she would know what he meant.
Both threats and inducements have been used; it all depends on Ye Qing'an's choice.
"Alright, you can go back to your residence now. If anything is found out or there is any news, I will send someone to inform you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Qing'an quickly thanked him and took his leave. As he turned his head, his gaze gradually became indifferent.
Granny Wei waited by the carriage, still feeling flustered and confused by what had happened earlier. She paced back and forth around the carriage, subconsciously glancing towards the palace gate as she walked.
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an emerge from the palace gates, safe and sound with a normal complexion, Granny Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and then quickly went to greet her.
"Miss, Miss, are you alright?"
Ye Qing'an glanced at Granny Wei, who immediately realized what was happening and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, lowering her voice to a whisper: "Walls have ears, it was my carelessness."
Granny Wei quickly put a footrest under Ye Qing'an's feet and helped her into the carriage.
"Go home!"
As soon as the carriage door closed, Granny Wei couldn't contain herself any longer: "Miss, how is it? I was so worried!"
"I'm fine for now. His Majesty also feels there's something fishy about this matter and will have someone investigate it thoroughly. Until the truth is revealed, I'll be fine for the time being."
Granny Wei nodded, but then looked worried: "But that's only temporary."
"Oh dear, the Gu family came with great force and preparation. This matter is definitely not going to end well."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "There will be a way."
As she spoke, she recalled the last words Yi Yun Kui had said.
When Ye Qing'an heard Yi Yun Kui mention that matter earlier, she vaguely felt something was strange.
Now, recalling all of Yi Yun Kui's previous expressions and behavior, he felt even more suspicious.
Yi Yun Kui remained calm throughout, whether he knew she had killed Madam Gu or after hearing her fabricated story. He remained composed, as if he already knew everything.
However, the astonishment on the faces of the eunuchs outside Huayang Palace was genuine, indicating that the news had not yet reached the palace.
Could the mastermind behind Madam Gu's incident today be Yi Yun Kui?
Could this be a tactic used by Yi Yun Kui to force her to make a decision quickly, to choose him, and to enter the palace as a concubine?
It's not impossible that this is the case.
Ye Qing'an thought to herself, pursing her lips slightly, her face cold.
While Granny Wei was still muttering to herself, Ye Qing'an suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, on the way here, you told me about the feud between our Ye family and the Gu family, but you didn't seem to mention how my aunt died."
"Ah?" Granny Wei's face was full of surprise: "What time is it? Why is Miss so focused on gossip?"
"It's not just gossip, after all, this matter is also related to the Gu family. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."
Granny Wei had no doubts and only sighed: "Actually, I don't know what happened. I only know that Miss Hua Jin seems to have suddenly fallen ill. She spends half the month bedridden. Master has consulted all kinds of doctors and physicians, but they are all helpless."
"Later, the Emperor found a famous doctor who said he could cure Miss Hua Jin's illness. He said that Miss Hua Jin had some problems with her lungs, and that the air in the capital was too polluted. He hoped that Miss Hua Jin could go to the mountains to recuperate and receive treatment for a period of time."
"Although Lord Ye and Gu Duo were both reluctant to part with Miss Hua Jin, they still agreed for the sake of Miss Hua Jin's health."
"And then..." Granny Wei frowned. It had been so long that she could hardly remember. After recalling for a while, she said, "Later, before Miss Hua Jin had recovered from her illness, Gu Duo suddenly betrayed the country for some unknown reason. When the news reached Miss Hua Jin, she was furious and suddenly passed away."
Granny Wei sighed and shook her head: "After Miss Hua Jin passed away, because the situation was not good at the time, and because Miss Hua Jin and Gu Duo had that relationship, the news of Miss Hua Jin's death was not publicized. It's just that because Miss Hua Jin died that way, the master has always felt that Gu Duo killed Miss Hua Jin and has always wanted to avenge her."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes slightly. Why would Gu Duo suddenly abandon his beloved who was still ill and betray his country?
What was the red mole on Gu Duo's hand that he mentioned earlier?
Why did Gu Duo say that his little flower was in Xiao Huang's hands, and that he could only return to see Xiao Hua if he had a red mole on his palm?
Is the little flower in Little Yellow's hands?
Ye Qing'an suddenly turned her head...
