Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Ye Qing'an paused. The Spirit Testing Stone was used to test each person's talent for cultivating Profound Spirit Techniques. Placing one's hand on the Spirit Testing Stone would cause it to emit different lights depending on the individual's talent...

Ye Qing'an's mind stirred slightly, but she only raised her head to look at the man.

"I heard that you were called a waste for more than ten years because of your extremely poor talent, blocked meridians, and inability to cultivate in your dantian. You also suffered a lot of cold treatment in the Ye family. Although you have spiritual power in your body, it is very weak. It seems that your talent is indeed not very good. If you can change the result when testing your talent, it should be of great benefit to your staying in the Ye family."

"After all, as far as I know, Lord Ye highly values ​​the talent of his children?"

is not that right?

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Among Ye Qinghao's children, the most talented should be the two children born to Liu Xueying. It was precisely because of this that Liu Xueying was able to obtain the position of the matriarch.

The man seemed to think she wasn't very talented.

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. Although her talent was not as he had expected, she did indeed need to change the outcome of the Spirit Trial Stone.

After all, if what her spirit beast said is true, that she is a Nine Yuan Supreme Body, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

The Nine-Element Supreme Physique is a rare find, perhaps only a handful can be found on an entire continent. If discovered, it would surely cause a bloodbath. She has only just broken the seal and begun cultivating; her spiritual power is not yet fully developed. It's best not to publicize the matter of the Nine-Element Supreme Physique.

Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment, then simply curled the corner of her lips into a smile: "Deal."

A maid's voice came from outside, asking in a low voice. Ye Qing'an knew that she had been inside for quite a while, and if she didn't leave soon, it might arouse suspicion. So she simply raised her eyes and looked at the man: "What you said needs to be carefully considered. Where should I look for you? What is your name?"

The man curled the corners of his lips into a smile: "Xu Mo, my name is Xu Mo. You can find me at Lanting Xiaozhu in Bai'an Lane in the west of the city."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Xu Mo, Lanting Xiaozhu in Bai'an Lane, west of the city? I'll remember that."

After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he stepped out of the side hall.

There were palace maids waiting outside the door. Ye Qing'an smiled and straightened her clothes: "Let's go, let's go back."

Inside the side hall, the man watched through the crack in the window as Ye Qing'an walked further and further away before raising his hand and removing the mask from his face.

Beneath the mask was a face so handsome it was almost otherworldly, except for a tattoo on one side of the face bearing the character "prisoner"...

When Ye Qing'an returned to the main hall, she saw Consort Lan teaching Eleven how to play the Nine Linked Rings. Ye Weilan sat to the side, looking bored and unsure how to start a conversation.

Upon seeing Ye Qing'an return, Ye Weilan quickly said, "Sister is back? Why were you gone for so long? Did you get lost?"

Seeing that Consort Lan and Eleventh Prince were looking over, Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "They were captivated by the scenery of Yihe Palace and lingered for a while."

Consort Lan smiled upon hearing this: "The scenery of my Yihe Palace is unparalleled in the entire palace. It was originally arranged for me by Prince Duan..."

Prince Duan?

Ye Qing'an was somewhat surprised. Didn't Jiu Xiao say that Prince Duan was exiled four or five years ago for some unknown mistake?

Was Consort Lan's previous house arrest related to this?

Why is Consort Lan so calm when she mentions Prince Duan?

Before Ye Qing'an could figure it out, Consort Lan changed the subject: "Eleven is really smart. He had never played with the Nine Linked Rings before. He only watched me play it once, and he was able to figure it out on his own the second time. The speed at which he solved it in the next two times was even faster."

Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "Children of this age generally learn things quickly."

As they were talking, Ye Qing'an saw Eleven raise the untied nine-linked rings again: "Your Highness, look, I've untied them."

Seeing Eleven's joyful expression, Ye Qing'an's smile deepened: "Eleven really likes the Imperial Concubine. He's so busy playing with her that he doesn't even care about his own mother."

Consort Lan was overjoyed upon hearing this: "I also like our Eleventh Prince. Eleventh Prince is the smartest."

After saying that, he lowered his head and started playing with Eleven.

Ye Qing'an lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and then leaned back slightly in her chair.

Unexpectedly, such a simple action made Ye Weilan, who had been watching her closely, light up. Ye Weilan lowered her voice and asked, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Qing'an looked up and saw the worry on Ye Weilan's face. She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. She gently bit her lower lip and said, "Yes, I don't know why, but I always feel a little itchy."

"itch?"

Ye Weilan became smug, almost unable to suppress the smile on her face: "Did you get bitten by mosquitoes? Although it's only early autumn, there are still quite a few mosquitoes."

Ye Qing'an shook her head: "There are a lot of mosquitoes on the estate, but the itching from a mosquito bite is not the same feeling as this. Right now, I feel like feathers are brushing against every inch of my skin, or like countless ants are gnawing at my bones. I feel a bit panicked and disoriented..."

Ye Weilan was overjoyed, but perhaps Ye Qing'an's explanation was too detailed, and she vaguely felt as if she herself shared the same feelings...

"Alright, alright." Ye Weilan felt goosebumps rising on her skin and quickly waved her hand, "Stop talking."

Ye Qing'an hesitated, then bit her lip and nodded, leaning back in her chair, looking like she was enduring something.

Seeing Ye Qing'an like this, Ye Weilan should have been happy, but for some reason, she felt no joy at all. Even though Ye Qing'an hadn't said anything more, the tingling sensation she had felt earlier hadn't disappeared; in fact, it was becoming clearer and clearer...

First, she felt as if feathers brushed against her body, then it felt like countless ants crawling over her bones, slowly gnawing at her...

The itching sensation became more and more pronounced, and Ye Weilan began to panic. How could this be?

The itching powder was clearly applied to Ye Qing'an, so why did she feel this way?

Could it be because she accidentally got some on her clothes when she was watching the maids apply itching powder to her clothes at her mother's place?

But she was clearly already quite far away!

Ye Weilan felt so panicked she couldn't move, not even daring to move. Every movement made her want to scratch and claw at the clothes rubbing against her body...

Ye Weilan looked to the side and saw that Ye Qing'an, who had just been saying that the itching made her feel flustered, was still sitting calmly, as if she didn't feel anything at all.

What exactly went wrong?

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth, desperately trying to suppress herself.

That shouldn't be the case. She personally watched the maid apply the itching powder, and Li Mama personally delivered the clothes and helped this little wretch put them on...

Ye Weilan was in so much pain that she could only rub against the back of the chair.

This rubbing finally relieved her itch a little, but as soon as she stopped, the urge to scratch returned, and it became even more intense.

Seeing that Consort Lan hadn't noticed, Ye Weilan couldn't help but sneak a little closer.

Although Ye Qing'an's gaze remained fixed on Eleven and Consort Lan, Ye Weilan's actions were clearly seen out of the corner of her eye.

She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Just how much itching powder did Jiu Xiao put on Ye Weilan? He even put it directly inside her clothes!

Why did she not have an attack even after entering the palace, despite wearing clothes sprinkled with itching powder, while Ye Weilan had an attack so quickly?

Ye Weilan had no idea what Ye Qingan was thinking; all her attention was focused on herself.

The unbearable itching made her panic and restless.

She rubbed against the back of the chair several times, but felt that it did not relieve the pain at all; on the contrary, it was getting worse. She then quietly scratched her arm.

Once the scratching started, it became somewhat uncontrollable.

Next, the neck, and then the face.

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth, and seeing that Ye Qing'an still seemed unaffected, her heart skipped a beat.

Although she didn't know exactly what went wrong, she knew that she had probably been tricked.

This cannot continue.

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth, about to find an excuse to leave, when Consort Lan, who had been focused on playing the Nine Linked Rings game with Eleven, suddenly looked up at Ye Weilan: "Second Miss Ye..."

Ye Weilan froze, then hurriedly raised her head and replied, "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine."

Consort Lan's gaze was fixed on Ye Weilan: "Could it be that there are thorns growing on this chair of mine? Why do I see Miss Ye constantly rubbing back and forth on this chair, scratching her ears and cheeks?"

"I've heard that Miss Ye is quite famous throughout Wangjing. Everyone who mentions her praises her, saying that she is not only beautiful but also has impeccable manners and upbringing."

"Is this the Second Miss's manners and upbringing?"
