Chapter 487 Then Investigate
"What do you mean by that? According to Miss Ye's words, my sister-in-law actually committed suicide?" Gu Jiang couldn't stand Ye Qing'an's words any longer and immediately stood up.
Ye Qing'an didn't shy away from the topic at all, and simply nodded honestly: "If you ask me, that's how it should be."
"Nonsense! Since my sister-in-law came to seek revenge on you, and my brother's great revenge is still unavenged, why would she easily seek death? It must be you, it must be you who premeditatedly murdered her, but you have to give it the name of suicide."
Ye Qing'an scoffed: "When Madam Gu had her accident, Lord Gu shouldn't have been around, right?"
"I am in the palace, so naturally I am not here."
"Since Lord Gu is not here, how can you know what exactly happened? And why are you so insistent that I premeditatedly murdered Madam Gu? What benefit would I gain from murdering Madam Gu?"
Gu Jiang was about to speak when Ye Qing'an interrupted him again: "Furthermore, I heard that Lord Gu entered the palace an hour ago. So Madam Gu should have left before you did, right? Earlier, Madam Gu brought the concubines and children of the Gu family to cause trouble outside the Ye residence. I wonder why Lord Gu did not go with them?"
Ye Qing'an's tone was too aggressive, and Gu Jiang had never expected to be asked this question by her. He was stunned for a moment.
"I didn't go, naturally because I had other important things to do."
"Oh?" Ye Qing'an chuckled, but turned to look at Yi Yun Kui, ignoring Gu Jiang's criticism, and said directly, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is too strange. There must be some hidden story that we don't know about. I beg Your Majesty to find out the truth."
"Hidden story?" Yi Yun Kui repeated the two words, his gaze towards Ye Qing An scrutinizing her: "The engine you mentioned, are you referring to Madam Gu's death? Or something else?"
"It refers to the death of Madam Gu, and also to the incident where Madam Gu brought the Gu family to the Ye residence to cause trouble." Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "I noticed that Madam Gu's expression and tone were unusual at the time, and her inexplicable act of seeking her own death was even stranger. I suspect that someone was instigating this behind the scenes."
"If someone is indeed behind this, that person must harbor some ulterior motive. If that person's ambition is only directed at me, that's one thing. But if that person is targeting the Ye family, or even our Siyou Kingdom, or the throne under the Emperor, then this matter is no small thing."
Gu Jiang frowned, his gaze towards Ye Qing'an growing increasingly disdainful: "What mastermind? That's nothing but your excuse. Targeting you and the Ye family, and even bringing up the entire Siyou Kingdom and the Emperor's throne—don't you think too highly of yourself?"
Ye Qing'an laughed, lowering her head in a humble manner, but her words were anything but modest: "It is not that I am belittling myself, but rather, I am indeed a supreme being who appears only once every few decades in this world. I have heard people say that a supreme being, while not necessarily able to shake the nation, is certainly enough to stir up chaos in the world."
"I have just become a Supreme Being when this happened. Upon reflection, this matter seems to be a series of interconnected events, set up long ago. From the appearance of the Taotie, to my father falling into the Demon Beast Forest while fighting the Taotie, to the theft of the Heavenly Spirit Pearl from the Gu residence, to its appearance in the camp and being given to me as a common medicine for treating colds and flu, to my becoming a Supreme Being, and then Lord Gu risking his life to consume the Heavenly Spirit Pearl and self-destruct, and now, Madam Gu came seeking an explanation but committed suicide..."
"Your Majesty, think about it carefully, doesn't this... seem like a series of interconnected schemes?"
Yi Yun Kui frowned. If these words had been spoken at other times, Yi Yun Kui would not have had any particular reaction.
But now...
Yi Yunkui recalled that Qian'an, which had been relatively stable under his close supervision, was now in turmoil.
That unfilial son...
Yi Yun Kui pursed his lips. That rebellious son had already begun to show his talent six years ago, and he was already extraordinary. Even he sometimes felt that his ability to scheme and plot was impossible to guard against.
Could it really be that rebellious son?
wrong……
Yi Yun Kui secretly denied his own thoughts. Some of the things Ye Qing An had mentioned earlier were actually about him...
Yi Yun Kui was secretly alarmed; he had almost been tricked by Ye Qing An.
Yi Yun Kui calmed himself down slightly, and looked at Ye Qing An with a slightly heavy gaze. After a long while, he said, "Then, Qing An, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
Gu Jiang's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, the ones involved are our Gu family head and his wife. Shouldn't it be up to our Gu family to decide how to handle this? She is a suspect."
Yi Yun Kui glanced at him, and Gu Jiang felt a little uneasy under that glance. He quickly lowered his head, looking flustered.
Ye Qing'an observed the exchange of glances between the two, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "I believe this matter should be thoroughly investigated. There must be something fishy going on. There must be a mastermind behind these events. Since he orchestrated this, he must have left some clues. As long as we investigate carefully, we will surely find the truth. I beg Your Majesty to issue an order for a thorough investigation, to clear my name, and to bring the truth of the Gu family's tragedy to light."
"Okay, I'll do as you say and investigate."
"Your Majesty!" Gu Jiang was about to speak again.
Yi Yun Kui raised his hand: "Alright, don't you want to know the truth about the two matters concerning Lord Gu and Madam Gu? Ye Qing An is a suspect, and I will not hand this matter over to her. Moreover, I will not let her leave Wangjing City until the truth comes out. You can rest assured."
"Take your sister-in-law's body back and give her a proper burial. What kind of place is it to leave her body outside?"
"Yes..." Gu Jiang's face was somber, but he obediently agreed and retreated with his head bowed.
Ye Qing'an slightly curled her fingers, watched Gu Jiang leave the hall, then turned her head away, keeping her head down and saying nothing.
Yi Yun Kui stood up, walked up to Ye Qing An, and circled Ye Qing An twice: "Your deductions just now sounded very convincing, but what evidence do you have? Or do you have any doubts? Can you guess who the mastermind behind this is?"
"How could I have guessed that?"
Ye Qing'an sighed softly, "However, I have a feeling that I can't quite put my finger on, but I feel that this matter is aimed at our Siyou Kingdom and at Your Majesty's throne..."
