Chapter 490 A bit tricky
Ye Zirui quickly shook his head: "How could that be? Why would eldest sister think that way? Not to mention father..."
Ye Zirui paused, lowering his voice to a whisper: "Even if Father were to have something go wrong, I would never allow Elder Sister's status to be embarrassed. There are many ways to resolve this matter, such as dividing the Ye family mansion in two, allowing Elder Sister to establish her own mansion, but without separating her from the Ye family, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"Entering the palace as a concubine but not receiving the emperor's favor? There has never been such a precedent since ancient times, and no one would believe it if you told them. Besides, you are still so young, with endless possibilities in the future. Perhaps you will have the chance to meet your destined one. And you already have Xu Yixiu, don't you? If you enter the palace as a concubine, what will happen to Xu Yixiu?"
"Don't worry, sister. It's not difficult for the Ye family to protect one of you."
Seeing Ye Zirui's anxious expression, Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "I also feel that this is a bit inappropriate, but that is the Emperor. If the Emperor really wants to do this and wants me to enter the palace, I have no... no right to refuse."
Ye Zirui hurriedly said, "This matter is of great importance. Sister should discuss it carefully with Father."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "I also think we should discuss it with Father. We'll ask him when we have time. But I don't know when Father will have the time. When I entered the palace before, the Emperor asked about this matter again, and even said..."
"What else did you say?" Ye Zirui pressed on hastily.
Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "He also said that if I agree to enter the palace, he will naturally have a thousand ways to help me deal with the Gu family's affairs. But if I don't enter the palace, I will be a member of the Ye family. The Ye family and the Gu family have a long-standing feud. Although he is the emperor, there are still many things that are not convenient for him to interfere in."
Ye Zirui's expression darkened; these words were nothing short of blatant blackmail.
"I'll discuss it with the steward later and ask if he can find a way to pass on a message to Father. After all, this matter really can't be delayed any longer."
Seeing Ye Qing'an nod, Ye Zirui continued, "And what about His Highness the Crown Prince?"
“Your Highness the Crown Prince…” Ye Qing’an gave a bitter smile: “His Highness the Crown Prince meant something similar. He said…”
Ye Qing paused, seemingly hesitant, before taking a deep breath and saying, "He said that if he becomes emperor, I will become empress."
Ye Zirui's eyes showed even greater astonishment. He gasped and remained silent for a long time.
Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "Actually, I also feel that what His Highness the Crown Prince said is somewhat inappropriate. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince already has a Crown Princess, and she is also from a prestigious family. This is really inappropriate."
Ye Qing'an sighed: "That's why I said that since I became the Supreme One, all these things that have happened, whether it's Gu Hai's death, Madam Gu's trouble, or the words of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, have really made me feel at a loss. I really don't know what to do."
Ye Zirui pursed his lips and after a long while said, "Sister, don't worry. We'll discuss it carefully after Father comes back."
After Ye Zirui finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qing'an again: "Then the Fifth Prince wouldn't also be..."
Ye Qing'an quickly shook his head: "Fifth Prince, I don't know what you want to say either."
"You don't know what the Fifth Prince wanted to say either?" Ye Zirui frowned, her eyes looking somewhat strange. "Why wouldn't you know what the Fifth Prince wanted to say, sister? Didn't the Fifth Prince go out with you for so long? Could it be that he didn't say anything?"
“I… because there was the Emperor first and then His Highness the Crown Prince, I was afraid that the Fifth Prince would say something shocking, so I didn’t dare let him say it. I only told him that since he was the husband whom the Emperor bestowed upon Wei Lan, then he was my brother-in-law. We would be family from now on, and I hoped that he would think carefully before he spoke, and consider what he could say and what he couldn’t say.”
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "After I finished speaking, the Fifth Prince smiled and said that he only came to remind me because I had found his jade pendant before, and he remembered my kindness. He said that I am now a Supreme Being, and countless eyes in the world are watching me. My life will definitely not be easy. He hoped that I would take good care of myself and think carefully before doing anything, saying anything, and making any decision. After all, every decision I make may determine my future, the future of the Ye family, and even the future of the entire Siyou Kingdom."
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and straightened her skirt: "I don't know if the Fifth Prince said those things to me because he listened to my advice, or if he wanted to say those things anyway. In any case, he didn't say anything inappropriate."
Ye Zirui let out a soft sigh, his gaze indeed darkened, and his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves.
Ye Qing'an... is indeed a bit tricky.
Ye Qing'an was trapped in Ye Mei's illusion twice, but he always emerged unscathed. Not only did he escape, but he also killed the one who created the illusion, and even his mother was...
Ye Qing'an already knows the key to breaking the Night Enchantress Illusion, and now that she has become a Supreme Being, she will definitely be even more difficult to deal with...
This is definitely not a good thing.
He needed to find a way to tell his master about what had recently happened to Ye Qing'an, so that his master could make new arrangements.
After all, Ye Qing'an becoming a Supreme Being was completely unexpected. Moreover, this matter would likely hinder their plans.
He absolutely cannot let this happen...
Ye Zirui thought to himself, his hand clenching in his sleeve: "Okay, I understand. I will find a way to let Father know about this and come back as soon as possible, at least to meet with us and discuss countermeasures. After all, these things are quite troublesome."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, little brother Zirui."
Ye Zirui pursed his lips: "After all that has happened today, I'm sure you must be quite tired, sister. I'll stay at the mourning hall today, and you should rest well in the courtyard."
Ye Qing'an smiled: "Alright, then thank you very much, Brother Zirui."
Ye Qing'an saw Ye Zirui out of the courtyard gate, stood there for a while, and then went inside. Wei Mama, Zixiao, and Qingdai were all waiting inside. Ye Qing'an glanced at Qingdai, their eyes met, and then she raised her hand and said, "Mama, go and sort out the things that have been happening in the manor recently and bring them to me. Zixiao, go and see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen. After all this commotion, I'm a little hungry."
After the two left, Ye Qing'an turned to Shen Qingdai and asked, "Is there anything you need to report?"
