Ye Qingwan Under House Arrest

Xue Li was planted with the Soul Devouring Curse by Ye Yu, making him Ye Yu's servant.

As long as Xue Li wished to communicate, he could do so through their divine souls regardless of the distance between him and Ye Yu.

Not all methods of the Demon Race were without merit.

"Something happened? What happened?" Ye Yu asked, frowning.

In Ye Yu's memory, it seemed the Great Yan Dynasty wouldn't make any major moves during this period.

"It's like this. Ye Qingwan was caught trying to leave Great Yan yesterday and has been placed under house arrest. I heard she's living quite miserably now. Should I secretly provide her with some support?" Xue Li asked.

Mentioning Ye Qingwan, Ye Yu remembered. It must be about the engagement with the Fourth Prince of Great Zhou, Zhou Li.

In his past life, Ye Yu knew Zhou Li was no good. So when Ye Fan proposed marrying Ye Qingwan and Ye Qingxuan to Great Zhou, Ye Yu directly refused.

Back then, Ye Yu wasn't like he was now. Although he wasn't living well, he still held onto the position of Crown Prince, and the ministers in court were very convinced of him.

So Ye Yu blocked this matter. But in this life, Ye Yu gave up his position as Crown Prince and was even banished. It was imaginable that without his intervention, this marriage would naturally proceed.

A few months ago, Ye Fan sent a message back about this matter, and he had blocked it once then.

"No need. Let her be," Ye Yu said indifferently.

Xue Li was stunned upon hearing this. He knew how much Ye Yu valued family ties. For the past year, he had followed Ye Xuan's arrangements and framed Ye Yu multiple times.

Ye Yu suffered greatly, yet he treated these people kindly as always. But now, how could he change so suddenly?

"Oh, alright then." Xue Li scratched his head. He thought he could earn some merit this way, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

After cutting off contact with Xue Li, Ye Yu smiled and murmured, "Ye Qingwan, in this life, accept the fate that originally belonged to you."

With that, Ye Yu began to focus on refining pills.

In his past life, he hadn't been able to go to that secret realm. He had only heard some information about it, so he needed to prepare thoroughly.

Besides the Poison Miasma Dispelling Pill, he also needed to prepare some other pills.

With this thought, Ye Yu took out his alchemy furnace from his storage ring and began refining pills.

This time, he wasn't in a hurry, so Ye Yu didn't use any formations. He chose to refine slowly, aiming for the highest quality pills.

He refined for two full days.

During the time Ye Yu was refining pills, Ye Qingxuan and the other person had already returned to the Great Yan Imperial Palace.

Cangyun had already left, leaving behind a letter asking Ye Qingshuang to handle the affairs of the Great Yan Royal Family and then find him.

Although he was dissatisfied with Ye Qingshuang, she was still his publicly acknowledged disciple, so he couldn't completely ignore her. However, he no longer wanted to be involved in the affairs of the Great Yan Dynasty.

After paying their respects to Ye Fan, they learned that Ye Xuan was in seclusion and then they rushed to find Ye Qingwan.

"Second Sister, do you feel like there are a lot more people around Eldest Sister's palace? And their cultivation isn't low," Ye Qingshuang said with some surprise as they arrived in front of Ye Qingwan's palace.

Ye Qingxuan frowned upon hearing this, sensing something was wrong. Ye Fan's gaze towards her earlier was also strange, but she couldn't pinpoint why.

Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the two entered the palace.

Ye Qingwan's once magnificent residence now appeared somewhat desolate. The maids and eunuchs were long gone. Apart from some essential furniture, nothing else remained in the palace.

"Eldest Sister, what happened?" Seeing this, Ye Qingwan and the other woman were shocked and rushed forward to ask.

Ye Qingwan, who was previously the Regent with an overbearing demeanor, was now disheveled, with clear tear stains on her face and even dried blood at the corner of her mouth.

Upon seeing Ye Qingxuan, Ye Qingwan finally couldn't hold back and threw herself into the arms of the two women, sobbing uncontrollably.

Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingshuang exchanged glances, both bewildered and completely unable to understand the situation.

After a while, Ye Qingwan stopped crying. As she was about to explain the marriage alliance, she was interrupted by Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingshuang.

"Eldest Sister, we need you to help us look at something. Qing Shuang and I are really confused," Ye Qingxuan said.

After speaking, Ye Qingshuang activated the image recording stone, and the scene from the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace reappeared.

After watching the events involving Ye Qingqing and Yan Ji, Ye Qingwan's eyes widened. She never expected things to have happened this way.

"Eldest Sister, what do you think? Was this meticulously planned by Ye Yu, or did we really... misunderstand him?" Ye Qingxuan asked, her eyes filled with urgency, desperately wanting to hear the answer from Ye Qingwan.

Ye Qingwan also found it difficult to accept the situation in the recording for a moment. After a long period of thought, just as she was about to speak, the voice in the recording sounded again.

In the recording, a week had passed. Ye Yu's injuries had healed considerably, but he still looked sickly, staring intently at the figure before him.

The figure was not unfamiliar to the three women. It was Gao Qun, the personal eunuch by Ye Fan's side.

Gao Qun looked at Ye Yu's current state, a slight smile on his lips, and said, "I never expected the dignified Crown Prince of Great Yan to be reduced to such a state."

"If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to fart, then fart," Ye Yu's voice was weak, but his tone was ice-cold.

When Ye Yu was first established as the Crown Prince, Gao Qun was already Ye Fan's favored minister, and he had already gained absolute control over the court.

The two had been in a covert struggle for a long time, which ultimately ended in Ye Yu's victory. Gao Qun was forced to leave the center of power and followed Ye Fan away from Great Yan to travel to other places.

Gao Qun chuckled and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince is still so assertive. If it were up to me, I would have killed you right now. But His Majesty forbids it. His Majesty sent me back this time to inform you of one thing."

"You need to make proper arrangements for the marriage between Great Yan and Great Zhou."

As the words fell, not only Ye Yu, but even the three people watching the recording were shocked. Ye Qingwan's expression turned extremely grim. "So, this was his doing!"

It could be said that if Ye Yu were standing in front of Ye Qingwan at that moment, she would have wanted to tear him apart with her bare hands.

The other children also had grim expressions. A marriage alliance? With whom? Who would be sent? They knew nothing about this. This dog thing is truly audacious!

"A marriage alliance? With whom?" Just as the three women were filled with righteous indignation, Ye Yu in the image suddenly asked.

"Ye Qingwan, the Second Princess Ye Qingxuan, and the Great Zhou's Fourth Prince, Zhou Li," Gao Qun said unhurriedly, as if discussing something trivial.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan's face turned ashen. She finally understood why Ye Qingwan had become like this! Was this the reason?!

"This dog thing! Doesn't he know who Zhou Li is? How could he agree to such an absurd matter!" Ye Qingshuang also realized what was happening, trembling with anger, wishing she could tear Ye Yu to shreds.

But the next moment, Ye Yu said something they never expected.
