Chapter 332 The storm is coming
Sure enough, they came to bring her money.
Ye Qing'an's lips curled slightly, but she pretended to look at Ye Qinghao, who was standing silently to the side, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Seeing Ye Qing'an's timid and hesitant appearance, Ye Qinghao felt a little happier and simply raised his eyebrows: "His Majesty has bestowed this favor upon you, why don't you hurry up and express your gratitude?"
Ye Qing'an hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."
Li Yunxiu's face was all wrinkled from laughing: "Hey..."
Then she turned to Ye Qinghao and asked, "Is the Second Young Master alright?"
"It's ready."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Ye Qinghao arranged for the steward to send Li Yunxiu away. After he left, Ye Qinghao spoke up: "Did I forget to tell you that Consort Yun has been banished to the Cold Palace?"
"Consort Yun was banished to the Cold Palace?" Ye Qing'an blinked. "The mastermind behind that incident was Consort Yun?"
"But the person who came to interrogate me in the dark dungeon was a man."
Ye Qinghao smiled casually: "It doesn't matter who the mastermind behind this is. As you said before, the person behind it is most likely a member of the Gu family. Consort Yun was only pushed out by the Gu family as a shield because you were discovered in her Yunhua Palace, and because of her seduction of He Yi that day."
Ye Qing'an nodded without saying a word.
Ye Qinghao looked at the boxes placed to the side and said, "Since the Emperor sent these things to apologize to you, you can accept them. I will have someone deliver them to your courtyard later."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an lowered his head and responded.
"Let's go back."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an acknowledged and withdrew, somewhat surprised that Ye Qinghao hadn't mentioned anything about the weakness. Did he have other plans?
If he had other plans, she didn't know what he wanted to do, and her original plan would be impossible to carry out...
Should she try to provoke her further?
But if she did it, it would make her seem too hasty, which might arouse Ye Qinghao's suspicion.
Ye Qing'an, already calculating in her mind, had already left the main courtyard. Zi Xiao, noticing several servants carrying boxes following behind Ye Qing'an, asked with surprise, "Miss, what's this?"
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "It was a gift from His Majesty."
"Huh?" Zi Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Ye Qing'an had joked with her before he left, saying that he was coming to give her money.
So, they actually did send her money?
Zi Xiao's gaze towards Ye Qing'an changed slightly, and she lowered her head. The longer she stayed by her master's side, the more she felt that she didn't know where those rumors about her master's cowardice and incompetence came from.
I am also very glad that I chose to seek refuge with them at the first opportunity.
When Ye Qing'an returned to the courtyard, she saw Yi Moxu standing under the eaves, looking up at the sky. Ye Qing'an also looked up. Although it hadn't rained today, the sky was still gloomy, with dark clouds pressing down overhead, making it a dark and gloomy place.
"What are you looking at?"
"Observe the sky and calculate the weather."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Oh? You have such skills?"
Yi Moxu nodded: "It's going to rain again soon, and this time, the rain will be heavy."
Ye Qing'an looked up at the huge dark cloud overhead and fell silent.
Yi Moxu was amused by Ye Qing'an's expression and looked behind Ye Qing'an: "I heard that His Majesty sent someone to invite you over, and that's what he gave you? What are these? Are they a reward? Or an appeasement?"
"They said it was to calm my nerves." Ye Qing'an went straight into the house and directed the servants to carry the things into the main hall: "Just put them here."
The servant put down the things and left. Yi Moxu walked over, opened the box and looked inside: "It's all junk."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Zi Xiao, who was stunned by Yi Moxu's words, and chuckled inwardly. She then called out to Zi Xiao, "Call Wei Mama over. You two should take all these things to our small storeroom."
After saying that, he went straight into the house.
Yi Moxu followed Ye Qing'an in, but went straight to the window and closed it: "It's going to rain heavily, close the window first."
When Yi Moxu brought up the rain for the second time, Ye Qing'an finally looked up at him and asked, "Is something about to happen?"
Yi Moxu did not answer Ye Qing'an, but asked, "After you returned from the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival, what did you say to Ye Qinghao?"
Ye Qing'an casually lifted her eyelids: "I said, although the Gu family was responsible for that incident, Fei Ran's words will definitely plant a seed of trouble in the Emperor's heart. In addition, since the Li and Gu families are the masterminds behind it, the Emperor will most likely find a way to weaken the power and status of the aristocratic families, especially the Ye, Liu, Li, and Gu families."
"He also said that the best course of action for us now is to show weakness before Yi Yun Kui makes a move."
Yi Moxu raised his eyes, his gaze lingering on Ye Qing'an's face for a long time before he spoke: "A storm is brewing."
Storm is coming.
Ye Qing'an silently pondered these four words, her eyes flickering slightly. So, what Yi Moxu meant was that Ye Qinghao had listened to her and was already preparing to start.
But why did Yi Moxu get the news when even she didn't know?
As Ye Qing'an was thinking, she heard Wei Mama's voice from outside: "Miss, the wind is picking up, and it looks like it's going to rain soon. And the rain is probably going to be heavy. I'll have someone bring the things that are drying outside back inside."
"Alright, go ahead. You can organize and register those rewards anytime, it doesn't matter."
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "What do you know?"
Yi Moxu just smiled and looked at her: "I will tell you whatever information you want to know, but you must give me something in exchange."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, a warning in them: "What do you want... in exchange for me? What do I have here that you would like to exchange?"
"I wouldn't even look at the things," Yi Moxu said, his gaze sweeping over Ye Qing'an's face. "But I do find the person appealing."
"But it's just a message, it's not like you're going to offer yourself to me. How about you give me a kiss?"
As soon as Yi Moxu finished speaking, Ye Qing'an shot him a sharp glare: "You're allowed to say it again."
"Hmm, hugging one is fine too."
"..."
Perhaps it was the indescribable expression on Ye Qing'an's face that was so funny, Yi Moxu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Before the laughter had even subsided, Ye Qing'an heard Zi Xiao's panicked voice from outside: "Miss, Miss, come quick! What's going on? What happened?"
