Chapter 233 Well-informed!
“Anything is possible.” Ye Qing’an casually toyed with the whip in his hand: “When you ask the storyteller to spread the word, and everyone is keeping a close eye on Ye Qinghao, on the Ye family, and even the person in the palace is alarmed, what do you think Ye Qinghao will do?”
Jiu Xiao propped his head up and thought carefully for a while before looking up at Ye Qing'an: "If I were Ye Qinghao, I would definitely try my best to first confirm whether the place where Gu Duo is being held is really safe. Or, I would transfer Gu Duo to a truly safe place."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Ye Qinghao will definitely seize the opportunity before the news spreads to confirm Gu Duo's safety. If the place he is currently in is not safe enough, then he will definitely try his best to find a safe enough place to transfer Gu Duo there."
“We…” Even Yi Moxu…
Ye Qing'an added in her mind, "Only by taking this opportunity can we determine Gu Duo's true location. If he is being moved, then the journey he takes will be our only chance to take Gu Duo away."
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's explanation, Jiu Xiao understood and clapped his hands, saying, "Brilliant! My master is truly brilliant. I'll go now, give the instructions, and then come back to keep a close eye on Ye Qinghao's movements."
Jiuxiao walked halfway, but suddenly turned back: "However, Ye Qinghao seems to have become much more vigilant recently. He has already set up a barrier over the main courtyard. I went to the main courtyard a couple of days ago and almost got discovered. I was unable to break in."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Which areas have been protected by barriers?"
“It’s the area around the wall…” Jiu Xiao looked at Ye Qing’an with a wronged expression: “After midnight, even the main gate of the hospital is protected by a barrier, so there’s no way to force your way through.”
"What's so difficult about that?" Ye Qing'an scoffed. "While the steward is still away from the manor, go to the city and find a storyteller to do what I just instructed you to do. After you return, I'll find a way to get you infiltrated into the main courtyard."
"Ah..." What method?
Jiu Xiao's face was full of confusion, but since Ye Qing'an said so, she must have already thought of a solution.
Jiuxiao nodded and then vanished into the Dreamland of Clouds.
About half an hour later, Jiuxiao returned.
"It's all taken care of. Starting tomorrow morning, they will spread the word about it."
"The steward seems to be arriving at the manor soon. Are you going to take me to the main courtyard? Coming back is easy; I can simply disappear from the main courtyard and enter the Cloud Dreamland."
"The main problem is that there's no way to sneak in."
Ye Qing'an responded, stood up, and extended her hand.
“Come here,” Ye Qing’an said.
Jiu Xiao paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on Ye Qing'an's face for a while before he couldn't help but cough lightly. He then glanced timidly at Ye Qing'an before finally stepping forward and taking her hand.
"..." Ye Qing'an abruptly shook off his hand: "Are you out of your mind? When did I let you hold my hand?"
Jiuxiao looked aggrieved, as if he had been greatly humiliated: "You were the one who stretched out your hand, and then you told me it was coming."
"..."
"I'm telling you to shrink your body and crawl into my sleeve."
"..." Jiu Xiao sighed: "You didn't explain yourself clearly and even got angry at me. Indeed, women and petty people are the hardest to deal with."
The last few words were just whispered murmurs.
After muttering to himself, Jiu Xiao followed Ye Qing'an's instructions and curled up into a small ball.
“I’ve shrunk,” Jiuxiao said. “But I’m too small to fly into your sleeve on my own.”
With a cold face, Ye Qing'an stuffed Jiu Xiao into her sleeve before leaving the Cloud Dreamland.
After leaving the Dreamland of Clouds, Ye Qing'an went straight out of the house.
Zixiao and Granny Wei were both waiting outside the door. As soon as they saw Ye Qing'an come out, they rushed up to her: "Young Miss...where are you going, Young Miss? Aren't you going to rest? Or are you hungry?"
Granny Wei followed behind Ye Qing'an: "I've had someone keep porridge and other food simmering in the kitchen. If Miss is hungry, I'll have someone bring the food back right now."
"I have to go to the main courtyard to see my father, and I'm a little hungry. Could you go to the kitchen and get me some food? I'll eat when I get back."
Granny Wei quickly agreed, her gaze lingering on Ye Qing'an's face for a long time before she nodded gently: "Alright, alright, I'll go right now."
Ye Qing'an came out of the courtyard and found that there was no one around. Only then did she hear Jiu Xiao's voice coming from her sleeve: "You want to bring me directly into the main courtyard through the front gate? That's a good idea. How come I didn't think of that before? I miscalculated."
Ye Qing'an gave a soft hum and remained silent.
Just as they passed through a long corridor, they spotted Yi Moxu at the entrance to the back garden.
Yi Moxu stopped and stared intently at Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an pretended not to notice and walked straight past Yi Moxu.
Just as she walked up to him and was about to pass by, Yi Moxu suddenly reached out and grasped Ye Qing'an's hand, which was hanging by his side.
Ye Qing'an frowned slightly and turned to look at Yi Moxu: "What is Doctor Xu doing?"
Servants were constantly cleaning the garden and pruning the flowers in the back garden. Ye Qing'an had already noticed that many eyes were focused on the two of them.
To avoid attracting attention, Ye Qing'an pulled Yi Moxu directly to a flower bush.
"what are you doing?"
Once out of everyone's sight, Ye Qing'an's voice became less polite.
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and glanced at their clasped hands.
When Ye Qing'an saw him like that, she realized that their hands were still clasped together.
Ye Qing'an quickly shook off Yi Moxu's hand and pursed her lips: "Speak, or I'm leaving."
Yi Moxu's gaze slowly moved upwards and landed on Ye Qing'an's face, which was filled with slight anger.
"I heard you were kidnapped?" Yi Moxu didn't mince words: "Was this all an act you put on? Did you tell Ye Qinghao that someone asked you about Gu Duo?"
A mocking smile flashed across Ye Qing'an's lips: "Your Highness is indeed well-informed."
"I'm afraid it's not just about being well-informed, is it?" When she talked to Ye Qinghao about those things earlier, there were only Ye Qinghao, the steward, Granny Wei, Zixiao, and two doctors in the room.
Among these people, who was the one that Yi Moxu bribed?
"Your Highness's influence has even extended to the servants of the Ye family. I truly admire you."
Ignoring Ye Qing'an's sarcastic tone, Yi Moxu asked directly, "What do you want to do? Do you want to attract attention and force Ye Qinghao to check on Gu Duo's situation? Or do you want to transfer Gu Duo?"
