Chapter 547 I'm just glad
The Fifth Prince hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I will not reveal a single word about today's events to Miss Ye. However, Your Majesty, I want to ask, was this your doing? And who gave you this idea?"
"Was that sleeping gas mixed in with the smoke something you ordered? And who did you order to do it?"
"Who is Li You, the man beside you? Why does the Emperor trust him so much?"
The Crown Prince avoided the topic, only sneering, "You won't reveal a single thing to Miss Ye, as if you and Miss Ye have an excellent relationship. You've been by my side for quite some time now, and I only have one piece of advice for you: stay away from Ye Qing'an if you still want to keep your life and live a good life."
The Fifth Prince sighed, "Brother, I don't know what happened either. I feel that many of the things you've been doing lately have been quite absurd. Ever since that furnace incident, you've started to act strangely."
"Alright, I think Your Majesty already has the answers to those questions."
The Fifth Prince's voice was low and hoarse: "Your Majesty has always been exceptionally intelligent, and you should understand that Li You's daring to plot against you like this must not be his idea alone; there must be others standing behind him."
"Moreover, many people in the camp probably already know about today's events and have heard the news. Although I tried my best to instruct them to keep it a secret as soon as I learned of what happened, Your Majesty also needs to be prepared. It doesn't matter to others, but it certainly won't be kept from Father."
The crown prince sneered and said viciously, "As long as you don't tell the emperor, he won't know."
"Your Majesty, I will naturally not go." The Fifth Prince was silent for a moment before continuing, "Your Majesty must be tired too, so please rest early."
"Ah."
Jiuxiao looked at Ye Qing'an: "The Fifth Prince left after we got here. I don't know where he went. You didn't tell me to keep an eye on the Fifth Prince, so I've been keeping an eye on the Crown Prince."
"Ah."
Ye Qing'an responded, thinking to himself, "The Fifth Prince said that the Crown Prince has become somewhat abnormal since the incident with the furnace."
This matched her previous guesses.
After the incident involving the furnace cauldron, Ye Zirui was summoned to the palace and placed under house arrest in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace for a long time because he was involved in the matter.
During this time, the Crown Prince has probably already been deceived by Ye Zirui's illusions.
However, based on her experience with Ye Qinghao, this Night Enchantress's illusion needs to stay by the side of the person who creates the illusion, and the person who creates the illusion needs to cast the illusion once every once in a while.
Once the separation lasts for a long time, the person will gradually come to their senses.
Now that the Crown Prince is leading troops into battle, Ye Zirui is not accompanying him...
It has been more than ten days since we arrived here from Wangjing.
It remains to be seen how long Ye Zirui's illusion can continue to bewitch the Crown Prince.
"After the Fifth Prince left, the Crown Prince summoned another hidden guard and ordered him to investigate Li You's whereabouts. He also ordered the guard to send a message back to Wangjing City, retrieve all of Li You's information, both before and after he entered the Eastern Palace."
At this point, Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an and asked, "Was Li You taken away by your men?"
"No."
"Huh?" This was somewhat unexpected for Jiu Xiao. Jiu Xiao blinked before lowering his voice and saying, "I noticed that Qing Dai hadn't returned. I thought you had instructed Qing Dai to take Li You away."
"But if it's not you, then who could it be?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and smiled casually: "There are countless forces, both overt and covert, hidden within this camp. Take what happened tonight, for example..."
"Originally, I only wanted to teach the Crown Prince a lesson. I had already used my mystical arts to disrupt his memory. But what happened next was something I never expected."
"It is true that the Crown Prince was drugged with aphrodisiacs and hallucinogenic drugs. His reaction at the time was indeed somewhat strange."
"However, after the Crown Prince came in, I also stayed in that tent for a while, but I was not affected. If the Crown Prince was really affected by aphrodisiacs and other drugs, then when exactly those drugs were administered is a matter of some concern."
Jiuxiao blinked: "How about I go and try to get some information out of that army doctor for you?"
"also may."
Jiuxiao didn't take long to get back and quickly returned: "I asked him, and the military doctor didn't know anything else. He only said that when he went to treat the Crown Prince, he did find that His Highness had been drugged with aphrodisiacs and hallucinogens."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "That is strange. When exactly was the Crown Prince's medicine administered?"
Just as the Fifth Prince had said, the army did not set off today.
After having breakfast, Ye Qing'an went to the tent where the Crown Prince was staying.
The Fifth Prince was outside the tent. When he saw Ye Qing'an coming over, he hurriedly said, "Miss Ye."
Ye Qing'an bowed and asked, "The army will be stationed here for another day, right? How is His Highness the Crown Prince's health?"
"They're still resting."
No sooner had the Fifth Prince finished speaking than the Crown Prince's voice rang out from inside the tent: "Is this Miss Ye? Miss Ye, please come in."
A look of surprise flashed in Ye Qing'an's eyes. The Fifth Prince gave a wry smile and helped Ye Qing'an lift the curtain.
Ye Qing'an entered the tent and saw the Crown Prince half-lying on the bed, leaning against a large pillow. Although his face was pale, he had already smiled again: "I am really sorry. Because of me, the army can only rest here for one day, which has slowed down the journey."
"What are you saying, Your Highness?" Ye Qing'an smiled, but her eyes held a scrutinizing look. "Your Highness, are you feeling alright sitting like this?"
The Crown Prince froze, suddenly remembering that he had heard Ye Qing'an had rushed into the tent with the Fifth Prince earlier, and that he and those men...
Ye Qing'an must have seen it, right?
damn it!
The Crown Prince choked up; Yi Xiao must have done it on purpose!
If Ye Qing'an had seen what happened then, how could he have gotten close to Ye Qing'an in the future?
The Crown Prince took a deep breath: "Last night's events were also a result of someone's scheme. When I heard you were still trapped inside, I didn't think much of it and rushed in to save you, but who knew..."
"It is this humble woman who has implicated Your Highness..."
"What are you talking about implicating me?" The Crown Prince gritted his teeth inwardly. "I'm just glad you weren't in the camp at the time. If you had been, you would have been the one to suffer these things. I don't know how angry I would have been if you had suffered these things."
