Chapter 603 Neither side gives in
"Let's go." Ye Qing'an turned around without looking back, clapped her hands, and then suddenly disappeared.
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. Then he raised his hand, and before long, countless tiny flames slowly rose from various places in the Monster Forest and gathered in Yi Moxu's hand.
Yimo Xu clenched his fist, and the flames vanished instantly.
When Yi Moxu arrived in the Dreamland of Clouds, Ye Qing'an was already brewing tea. She didn't ask what Yi Moxu had been doing outside, but simply pushed a cup of tea in front of him.
"You said you came to see me because you have something to discuss. What is it?"
Ye Qing'an took a sip of tea: "I'd like to ask, when you were still in Wangjing City, in the palace, what kind of person was the Crown Prince?"
"Prince?"
Yi Moxu squinted at Ye Qing'an, his eyes scrutinizing her: "You're asking me about other men? Hmm? Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"
"Yeah, crazy." Ye Qing'an said to herself, unable to help but laugh. "Are you going to tell me or not? Hmm?"
"Speak." Yi Moxu shook his head, lowered his eyes and smiled, thinking to himself that there was probably only one person who dared to speak to him like this.
"Let me think about it. After all, that happened several years ago."
Yi Moxu took a sip of tea before speaking: "I remember the Crown Prince back then. He was aloof, cold, and taciturn. His talent wasn't actually that great. He was just the son of the Empress, so he was raised as the Crown Prince from birth and was made Crown Prince at a very young age."
"His talent is actually not that great."
"At least among us princes, he can only be described as average... or even below average. However, because of his birth and his status as crown prince, the empress and Yiyun Kui have very high expectations of him."
"When he was still young and didn't know the meaning of sorrow, the Crown Prince would still play with the rest of us and laugh. But later, he gradually distanced himself; he was just too busy..."
“There is always something to learn and something to deal with every day, and I also have to take all kinds of tests from the Queen every day.”
Ye Qing'an was born and raised in the palace, so he could imagine and understand what Yi Moxu was saying.
"Aren't you afraid of driving him crazy by forcing him like this?"
"I don't know if he's gone mad or not, after all, I've been gone for so many years. I only know that he's become more and more sinister, more and more cruel, and more and more silent."
Ye Qing'an nodded, tapping her fingers lightly on the table: "You spent some time in Wangjing before, did you see the current Crown Prince? Did you hear anything about his temperament and character?"
"I've seen it, and I've heard about it." Yi Moxu twirled the teacup in his hand. "Are you trying to say that the Crown Prince's temperament and personality have changed a lot recently?"
"Ah."
"But six years have passed. My temperament and personality have almost completely changed from what they were six years ago. Perhaps the Crown Prince has simply experienced more things, which is why he is like this? Or perhaps it's just an act?"
"After all, his previous temperament was really not suitable as a crown prince, much less as the ruler of a country."
“That’s possible.” Ye Qing’an tapped the lid of the cup with her finger and then began to tell Yi Moxu what the two women had told her earlier.
"If it were simply a change in personality, or just an act, then it would be impossible for him to have completely forgotten what happened at night during the day."
"So, after hearing about those things, I had a guess in my mind."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "I suspect that Ye Mei's bewitching technique might have gone wrong somewhere, and didn't completely bewitch the Crown Prince. That's why the Crown Prince awakened his true consciousness at night..."
"It is even highly possible that the prince at night knew all along that he had been bewitched during the day."
"Because he knew this, he placed his own people in the camp to record what was done at night and then send it out of the camp."
"He was actually plotting something in secret..."
Yi Moxu frowned and remained silent for a while before nodding slightly: "That is indeed a possibility."
Seeing Yi Moxu's indifferent reaction, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but snort and glance at Yi Moxu: "It's not that there's such a possibility, but I think the possibility is extremely high."
"So what are you going to do?"
Upon hearing Yi Moxu's question, Ye Qing'an fell silent, only raising her eyes and staring intently at Yi Moxu.
Their eyes met, and after a long while...
“Impossible.” Yi Moxu pursed his lips and shook his head: “That’s too risky. I can’t let you do that.”
"But I think this is the best way."
Ye Qing'an remained calm, but her expression was resolute: "Besides, you have no right to object. I have already made up my mind..."
"If the Crown Prince can only regain his consciousness in the middle of the night, then I will find an excuse to stay in the central command tent in the middle of the night."
"That's not difficult. After all, the Crown Prince has always wanted to win me over. The best way to win over a woman is naturally to make her his person. The Crown Prince has never hidden this intention from his confidants."
"It's not difficult for me to stay in the central command tent..."
"At that time, I will try my best to stay sober, and then wait for the Crown Prince to awaken to his true colors before confronting him, revealing my attitude and bargaining chips, and trying to persuade him to form an alliance with me."
Yi Moxu pursed his lips tightly: "What if you guessed wrong? What if this matter is just a trap set by the Crown Prince... or perhaps by Liu Enze? What will you do then?"
“Let’s take a gamble.” Ye Qing’an raised her eyes: “I’m 60 or 70 percent sure. If I’m wrong, I still have a way out. I can go back to the Cloud Dreamland.”
"You forgot, Liu Enze is Nightshade. You've fallen into Nightshade's illusions before..."
"It's not like I haven't fought my way out before."
Neither of them would give in.
Just then, a summoning circle suddenly appeared beside Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu: "Things are all settled on Jiuxiao's side, how are you going to get out?"
Yi Moxu then suppressed his fierce aura: "You can go out first. I can use the Fire Separation Technique to detect your presence and then find you."
"Row."
Ye Qing'an didn't hesitate at all and stepped straight into the summoning array.
As soon as Ye Qing'an emerged from the summoning circle, she saw that everything in front of her was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
Ye Qing'an frowned: "Where is this?"
Jiuxiao's voice echoed softly beside him: "Inside a cave, didn't you ask me to pretend to be a magical beast in this magical beast forest? As a magical beast, naturally you need to have your own den first."
"Don't worry, I've already checked. There's no sign of any other magical beasts in this cave. You can stay here without worry..."
