Chapter 473 Funny Things
Eleven was still asleep in Qingdai's arms. When Qingdai heard Ye Qing'an laugh, she couldn't help but glance at Eleven in her arms. Seeing that Eleven showed no signs of waking up, she lowered her voice and asked, "What are you laughing at, Miss? Did something good happen in the palace?"
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and formed a barrier: "Nothing good, more like something funny."
"Something funny?" Qingdai asked, puzzled.
Ye Qing'an nodded, casually poured herself a cup of tea, and then pursed her lips and said, "Yi Yun Kui wants me to enter his harem and become his concubine. Tell me, isn't that ridiculous?"
Shen Qingdai was also somewhat surprised, her mouth slightly agape for a long time without speaking: "Enter his harem, become his concubine? Has he... has he gone mad?"
"Yi Yun Kui is certainly not crazy. It is precisely because he is not crazy that he can come up with such an idea. He said that he would let me enter his harem to enjoy wealth, power and status, but he would not favor me. He would only make me do things for him."
Shen Qingdai was somewhat puzzled: "Entering the harem but not being favored? What kind of logic is that?"
"He coveted my position as the supreme ruler and wanted to use me to do his bidding. However, there was no precedent for women to hold official positions in the previous dynasty. He was afraid that if he didn't give me some benefits, I would betray him. So he thought of giving me a concubine position in the harem to keep me tied down."
Qingdai frowned. In fact, if Ye Qing'an were just an ordinary person, this might not be such a bad choice.
Unfortunately, Ye Qing'an was not just an ordinary Supreme Being, but a Nine Yuan Supreme Being, possessing the Cloud Dreamland, the Nine Heavens, and the Fire Radiance Pavilion.
Furthermore, she and Yi Moxu...
Qingdai lowered her eyes. Although Yi Moxu had always been disguised with a human skin mask when she met him before, she had naturally heard the rumors about Yi Moxu's outstanding appearance that had been circulating among the people for so many years.
Although Yi Yun Kui is an emperor, he is already old, old enough to be Ye Qing An's father.
Moreover, back then, Yi Moxu was exiled to Qian'an by Yi Yunkui. Qian'an was heavily guarded, and even Huohuang Pavilion could not get any information from Qian'an. However, Yi Moxu appeared in Wangjing City and even appeared by Ye Qing'an's side. He could even freely enter and leave the heavily guarded military camp without being recognized by anyone.
This is enough to show that Yi Moxu is no ordinary person. Moreover, Yi Moxu is ambitious.
If you had to choose between Yi Yunkui and Yi Moxu, anyone with a modicum of sense would choose Yi Moxu.
After all, Yi Yun Kui's greatest advantage right now is that he is an emperor.
But just because he is an emperor now doesn't mean he can be an emperor for life.
Qingdai lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before raising them: "Then, what does Miss plan to do?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Let's stall for time. Now that Liu Xueying is dead and Ye Qinghao is still missing, it's not difficult to find an excuse to stall."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and blew away the foam on the tea: "Let's see what other tricks Yi Yun Kui has up his sleeve."
The carriage rumbled along the cobblestone street, the sound of a night watchman striking the gong drifting by, and the occasional lantern flashing past the window; everything seemed perfectly peaceful.
Qingdai glanced at Ye Qing'an, feeling that beneath this tranquility lay a turbulent undercurrent.
Once the wind rises, waves will inevitably surge, and all tranquility may be buried.
No one spoke in the carriage. After a while, the carriage stopped, and the coachman's voice came from outside: "Miss Ye, we've arrived."
Ye Qing'an responded, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Get ready, the real show is about to begin."
After saying that, he got up and got off the carriage.
As soon as Ye Qing'an stepped off the carriage, she saw that plain white silk flowers were hanging on the gate of the Ye residence.
Ye Qing'an paused, raised her head, and stared intently at the silk flower, her face filled with disbelief. She remained silent for a long time with her mouth agape.
Shen Qingdai followed closely behind Ye Qing'an, carrying Eleven as they got off the carriage. Seeing that Ye Qing'an was still standing there, she couldn't help but look up and follow Ye Qing'an's gaze. Her expression froze for a moment: "This...this...this...Miss, what's going on?"
Qingdai turned to Ye Qing'an and asked, "Could it be that Master has already confirmed that something happened? But we haven't received any news about it."
Ye Qing'an shook her head without saying a word, but walked to the door and knocked.
The door was quickly opened. The doorman had probably already received the news, and he didn't seem too surprised to see Ye Qing'an. He simply lowered his head and greeted Ye Qing'an, saying, "Young Miss."
Ye Qing'an nodded in agreement, raised his hand and pointed to the white flowers hanging on the plaque above the gate: "What's going on here?"
The gatekeeper lowered his head, his voice filled with sorrow: "It's...it's the madam, the madam has passed away."
"Madam?" Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before nodding gently. "I understand. Where is the eldest young master? Where is the steward?"
"The eldest son is keeping vigil for his wife in her courtyard, and the steward should be handling matters in the main courtyard. Neither of them has rested yet."
Ye Qing'an nodded, stepped into the door first, and then turned to instruct Qingdai: "You take Eleven back to the courtyard first, I'll go to the main courtyard."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an went straight to the main courtyard. The servants at the entrance of the main courtyard led Ye Qing'an inside. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she encountered the steward carrying a stack of white documents.
"Butler," Ye Qing'an said hurriedly, "I just came back from the public. When I got outside, I saw the white flowers at the door. The doorman told me that something had happened to my mother. What exactly happened? When I left, my mother was fine. How could she be gone in just a few days?"
The butler glanced at Ye Qing'an before lowering his eyes and said, "Miss, the madam suddenly passed away this morning. Her body was found in the lake in the manor. The specific circumstances are still under investigation."
"Found in the lake? Drowsy? Was it intentional?"
The butler shook his head: "We've been investigating all day, but we still haven't found any clues. This is just too strange."
"Weird?"
The butler nodded: "There were always people guarding the madam's courtyard, but no one saw her leave, and no one knows how she ended up in the lake. When we found the body, it was already swollen from being submerged..."
Jiuxiao is generally reliable when it comes to doing things.
Ye Qing'an pondered to herself, but her gaze flickered slightly as she looked at the steward: "Does Father know about this? Is he coming back?"
"I understand. I can't come back for the time being; it will take a few more days."
Ye Qing'an nodded, glanced elsewhere, and then lowered her voice and said quickly, "Could you please ask Father to come over? I have something to say to him."
