Chapter 532 Why?
Ye Qinghao watched Yi Yunkui leave, but remained motionless for a long time. After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, gradually approaching before entering the house.
It's the housekeeper.
"How is it? Has everyone left?"
"They're all gone." The steward lowered his voice. "This old servant has searched inside and out, and the Emperor did not leave anyone behind."
“He has always been a cautious and shrewd person. He knew that even if he left someone behind, I would still find out. That would only cause resentment between us and be counterproductive. It would be better for him to just leave cleanly. In this way, he could also gain my trust.”
Help me up.
The butler responded and quickly pushed the wheelchair over, helping Ye Qinghao sit in it.
"Let's go for a walk in the garden."
"Master, it's almost midnight."
"I know."
The butler had no choice but to push Ye Qinghao into the garden. There was no one in the garden, only a lantern lit every few steps along the path.
After they had walked some distance from the main courtyard, Ye Qinghao finally spoke: "You were in the shadows the whole time, did you notice... that she could move instantly, did she use a summoning spell?"
"It's neither a summoning spell nor a teleportation spell. This old servant has carefully observed the situation just now, and there is indeed no fluctuation in the spiritual energy in the courtyard," the steward replied in a low voice.
Ye Qinghao had been paying attention to the spiritual energy fluctuations in the courtyard and had indeed not detected any. He asked the steward simply to confirm.
Hearing the butler say this, Ye Qinghao couldn't help but grip the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, remaining silent for a long while: "So, she really is... a ghost?"
"So ghosts really do exist in this world?"
Ye Qinghao leaned back in his wheelchair, his gaze fixed on the lanterns swaying in the night breeze in the distance.
Actually, when he first saw Ye Huajin, he wasn't particularly afraid. He was actually a little suspicious, wondering if someone was impersonating him and playing tricks.
So at the time, he remained very calm and even had the mind to deal with Ye Huajin, thinking that if she really was a ghost, he could use her and her soul to deal with Yi Yunkui.
But now that it's confirmed that the Night Flower Brocade I saw before was indeed a ghost, a sense of lingering fear welled up in my heart.
"When Ye Huajin lunged at Yi Yunkui earlier, she could have succeeded. The guards that Yi Yunkui brought were all completely terrified. But Ye Huajin was suddenly blocked and seemed to be injured..."
Recalling Ye Huajin's blood-covered face earlier, Ye Qinghao gripped the wheelchair armrests even tighter.
"Tell me, what is that thing on Yi Yun Kui's body?"
In truth, he still felt resentful that he hadn't killed Yi Yun Kui tonight.
Ghost...
Although he was also afraid, Ye Huajin was not targeting him, but Yi Yunkui. If he used it well, he might be able to easily achieve the result he wanted.
How great.
“This old servant observed that after Miss Hua Jin’s soul was repelled, the Emperor’s hand almost instinctively tightened around the jade pendant at his waist. This old servant suspects that Miss Hua Jin’s injury was most likely due to that jade pendant.”
"A jade pendant at the waist?" Ye Qinghao thought carefully, but he really couldn't recall what the jade pendant Yi Yunkui wore at his waist looked like.
“This old servant observes that the jade pendant is carved from a piece of yellow jade, and the carving resembles a dragon.”
Ye Qinghao slightly curled his fingers: "Investigate. Send a message to the people in the palace and have them investigate whether that jade pendant has any special origin."
"Yes."
Ye Qinghao let out a long sigh: "Also, send Hua Jin's memorial tablet back to the ancestral hall first."
If it were placed in his main courtyard, he would probably think about it day and night, and that a female ghost might occasionally emerge from the courtyard...
Although he didn't respect ghosts and gods, he still felt uneasy about it.
"Yes."
……
In the Dreamland of Clouds, Jiuxiao's laughter was wild: "Hahaha, you didn't see it just now. I sneaked up behind that emperor and licked the back of his neck. When I saw it, his hair stood on end. Oh my god, I almost broke my composure and burst out laughing. Luckily, I ran fast, or I might have laughed out loud."
"And another thing, after Ye Qing'an made his face look like that, he suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qinghao and faced him face to face. Ye Qinghao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That look could make me laugh for three days and three nights."
Ye Qing'an was washing off the disguise on her face with medicine when she heard this. She only glanced at Jiu Xiao and remained silent.
Jiuxiao blinked: "Aren't you afraid that once Yiyun Kui leaves, Ye Qinghao will summon you out for questioning?"
Ye Qing'an said nonchalantly, "What's so scary? My human skin mask is almost completely destroyed, so naturally I can't go out. When I reappear next time, I'll just tell Ye Qinghao that I was injured by something on Yi Yun Kui's body, so I've been recuperating during this time. Humans need to recuperate when they're injured, but don't ghosts need to?"
Jiuxiao laughed out loud: "When it comes to skill, my master is truly amazing. His ability to fabricate lies is unparalleled; if you claim to be second, no one would dare claim to be first. However..."
Jiu Xiao's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "But I just sneaked out to take a look. After Yi Yun Kui left, Ye Qing Hao had the steward check if Yi Yun Kui had left anyone to watch him, and then had the steward push him into the back garden."
"Guess why Ye Qinghao would have the butler push him to the back garden in the middle of the night?"
Ye Qing'an removed the human skin mask from her face, touched her face which was slightly red and hot from being covered by the mask, and frowned slightly: "Why? Naturally, it's because I'm scared."
“I think so too.” Jiu Xiao clapped his hands suddenly: “I think Ye Qinghao probably didn’t believe you were a ghost last time, but after what happened today, he believes you now. Because he believes you, he’s afraid.”
Jiu Xiao smiled slyly: "I also saw the steward put Ye Huajin's memorial tablet back into the ancestral hall in the middle of the night."
"I almost laughed myself to death. Today's performance was really fun and enjoyable."
Ye Qing'an looked up at Yi Moxu, who had been sitting silently to the side, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why aren't you saying anything? What are you thinking about?"
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Qing'an: "I was thinking, even if Ye Qinghao pretends to know nothing about Ye Huajin in front of Yi Yunkui after he planned this today, won't Yi Yunkui suspect and worry that Ye Qinghao will investigate what happened back then? With Yi Yunkui's personality, he will definitely become suspicious. Ye Qinghao has been by Yi Yunkui's side for so many years, so he naturally knows about it."
"But he still did it, why?"
