Chapter 515 Was it you who ordered this?
Yi Moxu seemed not to notice Ye Qing'an's gaze, and asked directly, "Have you encountered any problems while you were cultivating with your furnace recently?"
"My skill is improving more and more slowly, and sometimes my spiritual energy even flows backward. I've changed many furnaces, and this always happens."
Ye Qing'an had already walked up to Yi Moxu and gently tugged at Yi Moxu's sleeve. The two exchanged glances.
Yi Moxu held Yi Yunkui's hand tightly, then lowered his voice and instructed Ye Qing'an: "Time is limited. If we delay for too long, it will definitely arouse suspicion. They will ask the most important questions."
"Ah."
Ye Qing'an agreed and looked directly at Yi Yun Kui: "Back then, was it you who instigated Gu Duo to defect to the enemy?"
“Yes, it was me.” A sinister smile flashed across Yi Yun Kui’s face. “I was the one who made him pretend to defect to the Mingyue Kingdom.”
"why?"
"Why?" Yi Yun Kui's eyes were unfocused, then he laughed again: "Because if someone is too outstanding and cannot be used by me, then he should be... destroyed directly. But he is a Supreme Being, and he is loyal to me. If he dies easily, someone will always investigate the reason. If the investigation comes back to me, it will be detrimental to my reputation."
"Since Gu Duo is loyal to you, how can he not be used by you?"
Yi Yun Kui's face grew even colder: "Because he and I disagreed on some things. He felt that I was too cruel, was unwilling to do what I told him, and always argued with me!"
Yi Yun Kui scoffed, "I am the ruler, he is the subject, he is merely a sword in my hand. Shouldn't he kill whomever I command? What gives him the right to contradict me?"
"And..." Yi Yun Kui raised his head slightly: "Although Ye Hua Jin is ranked second in the list of beauties, I have always felt that Ye Hua Jin is the real number one beauty. After the list of beauties came out, the Gu family obediently presented Gu Ya Yun to me, but the Ye family did not make a move. I hinted at it several times, and only then did I find out that Ye Hua Jin and Gu Duo were together."
"Ha... Just because he has a slightly better-looking face, he not only disobeys me, but also tries to steal my women. I naturally cannot tolerate such a person."
Ye Qing'an's gaze turned cold. He believed Yi Yun Kui's words, after all, Yi Yun Kui was the emperor, and sometimes, even a very small matter was enough to make him want to kill.
"So, you made Ye Huajin sick, and then used the promise of treating her illness as leverage to force Gu Duo to defect to the Mingyue Kingdom?"
Yi Yun Kui chuckled lightly: "Of course it wasn't that easy. I naturally did other things as well."
Yi Yunkui's eyes flashed with madness: "I knew Gu Duo wouldn't easily surrender to the enemy, so when Gu Duo led his troops into battle, I deliberately set a trap, causing Gu Duo's army to be almost completely wiped out in a battle due to some mistakes he made."
"Tens of thousands of lives have been lost because of him, and Gu Duo is about to face the condemnation of the world, the accusations of the families of those who lost their lives, and the heartbreaking cries. So I made Gu Duo believe that all of this was a scheme set up by the Mingyue Kingdom, so that he would pretend to defect to the enemy and then go to the Mingyue Kingdom to investigate the truth."
Yi Yun Kui laughed heartily: "Gu Duo was carrying so many lives on his shoulders at the time, he was probably completely broken down, completely dazed, so he didn't think about anything and just agreed to my request. He agreed to pretend to defect to the Mingyue Kingdom and even let me plant a curse on him..."
Ye Qing'an's pupils suddenly contracted. Had a curse been planted on him?
Was it the red mole on his palm?
"Time is running out," Yi Moxu whispered a reminder.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes and quickly asked the last question that concerned her the most: "Did you do the thing that Gu Duo's soul was taken away? Or did you instigate it? And where is his soul that was taken away?"
“It wasn’t me.” Yi Yun Kui shook his head, his eyes cold and sharp. “In fact, I’ve also been looking for Gu Duo, for his body, or his corpse, and for the soul that was taken from him…”
Ye Qing'an frowned. It wasn't Yi Yun Kui?
Wasn't it instigated by Yi Yun Kui? Then what about Gu Duo's soul being in the Gu family mansion...? Yi Yun Kui didn't know about it.
"I'm going to give him the antidote," Yi Moxu said in a low voice.
Ye Qing'an responded and then retreated.
Ye Qing'an didn't see exactly how Yi Moxu made his move, but she noticed that Yi Yunkui's gaze and expression gradually cleared.
"How is it? What's wrong with me? Can you tell?"
Yi Moxu lowered his head and replied softly, "Your Majesty... has overexerted your yang energy..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and secretly raised an eyebrow, almost laughing out loud. In front of Yi Yun Kui, Yi Mo Xu really dared to say that the release of yang energy was excessive...
Yi Yun Kui's expression turned somewhat grim: "What does this mean?"
Yi Moxu remained calm, as if he were not the one who had just uttered those shocking words.
"That's right. The way of dual cultivation is to absorb yin to replenish yang, so that one can obtain spiritual power from female cultivators for one's own use. However, if a male cultivator releases too much yang energy during dual cultivation, it will have the opposite effect, causing the spiritual power to flow back."
Yi Moxu's gaze was perfectly calm, as if he were discussing a trivial matter: "I can prescribe some formulas to strengthen the body and nourish yang for Your Majesty, which Your Majesty can take as appropriate. However, the fundamental solution to this problem is to avoid losing yang energy during dual cultivation with the furnace. Your Majesty can first visit the harem before engaging in dual cultivation with the furnace..."
Yi Yun Kui finally felt a little embarrassed, and simply nodded: "Okay, write out the prescription for me, I'll write it down."
Yi Moxu nodded, and Yi Yunkui immediately called out, "Someone, bring us brush, ink, paper and inkstone."
The eunuch presented pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Yi Moxu wrote down the medicine and stepped aside. Yi Yunkui, feeling he had lost face in front of Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an, looked rather displeased: "I've seen the person, and there's nothing else. When you go to war in the future, you can take Physician Xu with you. On the battlefield, injuries are inevitable. Physician Xu's medical skills are superb, and I'll feel more at ease having him by your side. After all, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to your father."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an led Yi Moxu out of the palace and saw that the eunuch and Eleven were already waiting outside the palace.
As soon as Eleven saw Ye Qing'an, she rushed towards her, calling out, "Mother!"
Ye Qing'an smiled and asked, "Did you have a good time during the National Day holiday?"
"I'm happy." Eleven hesitated for a moment before saying, "My father-in-law found me a lot of delicious snacks, many of which I've never eaten before. They're really tasty."
Eunuch Liu smiled broadly, his face crinkling with wrinkles: "If the young master likes it, he can come to the palace to eat whenever he has the chance. This servant will certainly make sure that the young master can taste all the pastries made in the imperial kitchen."
Ye Qing'an smiled and thanked him, then took his leave with Liu Gonggong.
After watching the figures of the two adults and the child gradually disappear into the distance, Eunuch Liu turned around and entered the hall, then turned around and closed the hall door.
"gone?"
