Chapter 120 Are you still going to kill me?
Xu Mo's gaze swept over Ye Qing'an and Ye Qinghao, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Today's actions are to make an example of them."
"If there are people who want to see, then I'll let them see. Although I'm just a medical cultivator, those who offend me will still not have a good ending."
Xu Mo said casually, "Does Lord Ye think it's insignificant that these servants in the manor freely discuss their masters and guests, and use such vicious language?"
Ye Qinghao pursed his lips. Although he was dissatisfied and felt that Xu Mo's words of making an example of someone included him, he also understood that this matter was indeed his oversight.
“I didn’t say it was unimportant, I just felt that Dr. Xu could tell me first and let me handle this matter.”
Xu Mo scoffed, "Lord Ye is too busy to bother with such trivial matters. Besides, if I were to just tell Lord Ye, those servants would only think that I have no ability and only know how to complain to Lord Ye."
"What I just did was the best way to prevent future troubles."
Ye Qinghao curled his fingers in his sleeve, and after a long while said, "It's too late to say anything more now. But next time, I hope that Doctor Xu will not act so impulsively."
Ye Qinghao turned around and instructed the butler, "Clean this place up."
The butler bowed his head in agreement, and only then did Ye Qinghao turn and leave.
The servants who had been watching the commotion were so frightened by Xu Mo's actions that they dared not linger and had already fled.
"Today is the Imperial Concubine's birthday, and Physician Xu should not have drawn blood today."
Xu Mo chuckled and stared intently at Ye Qing'an, his heterochromatic eyes filled with coldness.
Ye Qing'an naturally knew that he was dissatisfied because he had known about the vulgar things the servants had been saying behind his back, but had not done anything about it.
"You can't stop people from talking," Ye Qing'an genuinely didn't care.
Xu Mo glanced at Ye Qing'an indifferently: "You may think it doesn't matter, but have you ever thought about Eleven?"
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes: "I always feel that you treat Eleven better than usual, which sometimes makes me wonder about your motives. Why do you think of Eleven in everything? Could it be that Eleven looks a lot like you when you were a child? So when you see him, you can't help but think of your childhood, and that's why you take extra care of him?"
Xu Mo frowned deeply. Eleven really did look a lot like him when he was a child, and not just when he was a child...
"Yes." Xu Mo nodded: "Eleven does look a lot like me when I was a child."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Xu Mo saw Ye Qing'an laugh out loud.
As if she had heard an extremely funny joke, Ye Qing'an laughed so hard that her eyes crinkled into crescents, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Xu Mo's face grew increasingly dark: "Is it funny?"
He felt that he looked terrifying when he frowned, and people around him often didn't dare to breathe when he was in a bad mood. But Ye Qing'an seemed completely unaware of this and continued to laugh heartily. After a while, he stopped laughing and nodded: "Yes, it's quite funny."
"However, I'm not laughing at what Physician Xu said about Eleven looking like Physician Xu. I'm laughing because I heard the same thing before in the palace."
Xu Mo was taken aback, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart sank.
Ye Qing'an's smile had vanished, replaced by a thoughtful expression: "When I brought Eleven to the palace to celebrate Consort Lan's birthday, Consort Lan's mother, Old Madam Xu, said that Eleven was the second most beautiful child she had ever seen, the first being Prince Duan."
Ye Qing'an lifted her eyelids: "Later, the Emperor came and lost his composure upon seeing Eleven. His first words were to call out the name of Prince Duan... Later, Consort Lan said that Eleven and Prince Duan were almost identical when they were young."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and straightened her large sleeves, which were a little messy from the wind: "The Emperor and Consort Lan said that Eleven and Prince Duan are cut from the same mold. Doctor Xu also said that Eleven looks very similar to himself when he was a child."
"The name of Prince Duan is Yi Moxu."
"The last two characters, Mo Xu reversed, are exactly the same as Xu Mo."
Ye Qing'an's lips curled into a smile that was both mocking and sarcastic: "I heard that Prince Duan was exiled to Qian'an six years ago, but I had never heard that he had studied medicine. Nor had I ever heard that he could sing such a good opera..."
"From the time I met you until now, the only time I saw you was when you were killing someone; that was the real you, wasn't it?"
Ye Qing'an took two steps back: "Prince Duan entered the Ye residence not to obtain a legitimate status to stand beside Consort Lan, but to eliminate Ye Qinghao, or... eliminate the Ye clan?"
"What? The Ye family was involved in your exile?"
Before Ye Qing'an could finish speaking, a blur flashed by. Ye Qing'an instinctively sensed the danger and hurriedly took two steps back, but her speed was no match for Xu Mo's.
Before he could even stand up straight, his throat was already being choked.
"Miss Ye, do you know that sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing?"
"So, is Doctor Xu going to kill me?"
Ye Qing'an smiled faintly: "Does Doctor Xu believe me? Even if I haven't achieved my goal yet, even if Doctor Xu has my throat right now, Doctor Xu still can't kill me."
"Moreover, not only can Doctor Xu not kill me, but soon, the fact that Doctor Xu is Yi Moxu will become the talk of the town."
Their eyes met, and sparks flew between them.
After a long pause, Xu Mo suddenly released his grip, took two steps back, and looked completely calm, as if nothing had happened: "So, what difference does it make to you whether I am the medical cultivator Xu Mo or Prince Duan Yi Moxu?"
"What you need is not just an ally, but an ally who can stand with you against those in the Ye family who once bullied you and avenge you, is it?"
"Whether it's Xu Mo or Yi Moxu, they can be this ally."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, you're right. In fact, I think you'd be better off as Prince Duan."
“Previously, I always felt that your reasons were too far-fetched, and that you must have had other purposes for entering the Night Mansion. Now that I know your true purpose, I feel a little more at ease.”
“But…” Ye Qing’an lowered his voice: “If Prince Duan wants to eliminate the Ye clan, then it will be somewhat disadvantageous for me, after all, I also have the surname Ye.”
Xu Mo smiled, his heterochromatic eyes shimmering with light, like the most beautiful glass, almost blinding Ye Qing'an.
"Those I eliminated from beginning to end were all the Ye clan, who were my enemies. If the Ye clan were to change its leader and be willing to ally with me, I would naturally grant the Ye clan a lifetime of glory."
"I just don't know if Miss Ye has the ability to seize the position of the head of the Ye family."
"After all, although this position is not as tempting as the throne, there are still many people eyeing it covetously."
Ye Qing'an chuckled and laughed as well.
"Then we'll have to ask Prince Duan to wait and see."
