Chapter 574 Don't you have any questions?
Ye Qing'an smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, very good. As expected, His Highness the Crown Prince never disappoints me."
"Give me a wash and change of clothes."
"Yes."
After changing his clothes and getting ready, Ye Qing'an left the camp.
Qingdai followed behind Ye Qing'an, and seeing that Ye Qing'an was clearly heading towards the main camp, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Miss is going to the main camp? Didn't Miss say last night?"
"That happened last night. Now that the die is cast, I naturally have to go and see."
"Although the Crown Prince felt that he had already promised me the position of Empress, and that he already had countless concubines, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to favor one woman in the camp. But..."
"But if I go there now and pretend I know nothing and am focused on managing the affairs of the camp, he will surely feel guilty. What I want is that little bit of guilt from him. Once he feels guilty, I can use it to get what I want from him."
Qingdai looked up at Ye Qing'an and took a soft breath.
The more she stayed by this master's side, the more she felt that this master was not simple.
Such a person might indeed be able to achieve great things.
Qingdai secretly began to make plans...
Ye Qing'an quickly arrived at the main camp, but was stopped outside: "Miss Ye, His Highness the Crown Prince has not yet risen. Is there something you need? I can go and report on your behalf."
Ye Qing'an nodded, his expression slightly excited: "Please go and report to His Highness the Crown Prince that I thought about it all night and came up with some ideas on how to launch a surprise attack on Anzhi City. I would like to ask His Highness to listen to them and see if they are feasible."
The guard glanced at Ye Qing'an, then bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Miss Ye, please wait a moment. I will go and report right away."
After saying that, he lifted the tent flap and went inside.
Ye Qing'an heard the faint sound of a woman speaking from inside and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
About fifteen minutes later, the guard came out of the camp again: "Miss Ye, please come in."
Ye Qing'an responded, and Qingdai quickly made a cloth felt for Ye Qing'an. When Ye Qing'an entered the tent, she saw the Crown Prince sitting in a chair, with a woman serving him tea.
Ye Qing'an paused, then hurriedly retreated.
"Qing'an?" The Crown Prince quickly called out to Ye Qing'an, "Qing'an, why are you out again?"
Ye Qing'an looked slightly embarrassed: "The guards didn't tell me that His Highness had guests here. Since His Highness has other matters to attend to, I'll go back first and come back later."
"A guest?" The Crown Prince was also taken aback. Seeing Ye Qing'an's gaze turn to his side, he turned his head to look at the woman standing beside him, his fingers paused slightly, and after a long while, he coughed lightly: "No... not a guest."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said to the woman, "You can go out now."
The woman paused slightly in the teapot she was holding, and after a long while, she bowed and said, "This humble woman...this humble woman takes her leave."
As she spoke, the woman walked out from behind the desk and headed towards the door, her posture somewhat strange and her steps very slow.
Ye Qing'an secretly raised an eyebrow; it seemed the battle last night was quite intense.
As the woman passed by Ye Qing'an, she bowed to him before brushing past him and leaving the tent with her head down.
After the woman left, Ye Qing'an stepped into the tent.
The Crown Prince picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his eyes darted around quickly. He had already prepared his explanation and was just waiting for Ye Qing'an to ask him questions.
Ye Qing'an entered the tent, but her gaze fell directly on a sand table that was much larger than the one in her tent: "Mr. Liu gave me a sand table before, saying that there was nothing to do in the camp, so I could use those sand tables for entertainment."
“Last night, I studied the sand table carefully. I think that our current garrison camp is in a valley, with two semi-circular mountain ranges behind it, which is the most natural barrier.”
"It seems we haven't made good use of this excellent natural barrier..."
Ye Qing'an walked to the sand table, looked up at the Crown Prince and said, "I think our army can retreat a little further, behind these two mountains."
"In this way, these two mountains can serve as our natural defenses. If the rebels want to continue their attack in this direction, we only need to retreat to the mouth of the canyon here to block their advance."
"Oh?" The Crown Prince's mind was not on this matter at all. Hearing this, he only pursed his lips slightly, but his gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face. Why didn't she ask? Did she really not know or understand what the appearance of a woman in his camp meant?
"And recently, because our camp's food and medicinal materials were burned, our camp seems to have been sending large numbers of troops out of the camp to search for food, medicinal materials and other supplies in the rear for the past few days."
"We can use the pretext of searching for food and medicinal herbs to secretly send out an elite force to bypass Anzhi City and surround the rebels and the entire city of Anzhi. We can trap the rebels inside and catch them like turtles in a jar."
The Crown Prince's attention was finally drawn to Ye Qing'an's words.
"Surround Anzhi City? Trample us like turtles in a jar?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "However, this matter must not be leaked at all, and the people we choose must be people that Your Highness can trust. There are too many spies in this camp, and the people in the camp before are absolutely unusable."
The crown prince's gaze fell on the sand table, lingered there for a moment, and then he remained silent.
"Your Highness?"
The Crown Prince responded, "I already know your thoughts, but this matter..."
The Crown Prince pursed his lips: "I need to discuss this with the Grand Tutor and some of the other generals under my command."
“Of course.” Ye Qing’an nodded. “I have never been on the battlefield before, nor have I ever led troops into battle. Your Highness and the generals in the camp are more experienced and have more authority to speak on matters within the camp. I am merely offering a suggestion…”
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "If Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will take my leave now."
"If there is a result, Your Highness can simply send someone to inform me."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he bowed and prepared to leave.
The crown prince frowned, but finally couldn't help but speak up: "Wait a moment."
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an stopped and turned her head with a blank expression. "Does Your Highness have any further instructions?"
The crown prince was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips: "The woman you saw earlier, don't you have any questions for me?"
