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

Ye Qing'an raised her hand and placed it on the top of Ye Mei's head, then began to inject spiritual power into Ye Mei's brain.

Nightshade felt a splitting headache, as if countless ants were frantically gnawing at his brain.

"I said...I said!"

That night demon cried out in alarm, but Ye Qing'an only slightly withdrew some of her spiritual power, while her hand remained on the top of the night demon's head.

“Liu Enze is not the patriarch of our Night Demon clan; his mother is.”

As soon as Na Ye Mei finished speaking, blood suddenly flowed from the corner of her mouth. Then, Na Ye Mei muttered softly, "Drawing a circle around oneself as a prison..."

Then, it suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Ye Qing'an searched back and forth in the same spot for a while, then frowned: "It's gone?"

Ye Qing'an raised her eyes to look at Yi Moxu: "If he can disappear like this, why did he fall into our hands just now?"

Yi Moxu frowned slightly: "I think I saw a related introduction in a book before, saying that the Night Demon Clan's drawing a circle on the ground to imprison themselves is equivalent to a self-destructive technique."

"Self-destruct?"

“Hmm.” Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: “The book says that drawing a circle on the ground can save the lives of the Night Demons, but if a Night Demon uses this technique, he will be trapped in an unsolvable illusion, trapped inside for all eternity, and will never be able to get out.”

"That illusionary prison, the Night Demon begins to weave illusions from the moment she learns to do so, placing all her favorite things within it to prevent herself from ever needing to use it. But it is ultimately just an illusion; no matter how magnificent, it is still a prison. Therefore, the Night Demon generally does not use such magic unless in a particularly urgent situation."

"It's probably because they're afraid of dying."

Ye Qing'an licked her lips: "So, what he said just now was to distract me and give him a chance to use that 'drawing a circle on the ground to imprison' technique?"

"So, was what he just said true or false?"

"Furthermore, the chieftain of the Night Demon Clan is not Liu Enze, but his mother? What does this mean?"

Yi Moxu pondered for a moment, a vague guess forming in his mind: "Since Liu Enze is a Night Demon, then he must have been born of a human and a Night Demon. Does the Night Demon mean that Liu Enze's mother is a Night Demon and the patriarch of the Night Demon clan?"

Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "Liu Enze's mother?"

Yi Moxu frowned slightly: "But I remember that Liu Enze's mother passed away many years ago."

"But according to what that Night Demon said just now, Liu Enze is not the chieftain of the Night Demon Clan, but his mother is. Does that mean that Liu Enze's mother is still alive? If Liu Enze's mother is dead, the Night Demon Clan would not have chosen her as their chieftain, would they?"

Yi Moxu nodded: "Mm."

Ye Qing'an frowned and remained silent: "So, either Liu Enze's mother didn't die at all, and we don't know if she faked her death or what. Or, Ye Mei just lied."

Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an turned their heads to look at the Night Demon Clan's territory. The fire gradually started to burn, and the flames were extremely fierce. Even though they were on the sea some distance away from the Night Demon Clan's territory, they could still feel the heat coming towards them.

"Whether it's true or false, we'll find out soon enough. Judging from his words, if Liu Enze's mother isn't dead, she shouldn't be among the Night Demon Clan."

"At this time, if she is not dead, if she is outside, she will definitely be in the capital."

Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an exchanged a glance. After a long while, Ye Qing'an finally spoke: "Then let's go to the capital."

After saying that, Ye Qing'an summoned Jiu Xiao and asked him to guard the place. Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu then left the illusion and appeared in the imperial city in an instant.

"Let's first investigate the matter of Liu Enze's mother and confirm the truth of the matter."

Yi Moxu nodded: "However, at the same time, we probably need to find out what the situation is like in the city now."

Ye Qing'an then sent someone to invite the steward over.

What is the situation in the city now?

The steward remained quite calm about Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu's unpredictable whereabouts, only replying in a low voice: "The Emperor has disappeared, but Gu Duo, who died many years ago, has suddenly appeared, clamoring to kill the Emperor, causing chaos in the city."

"Among the four major families, the Li and Gu families stepped forward, leading people to patrol the city and maintain the stability of the people. They also searched for Gu Duo everywhere and had several conflicts and exchanges with him. Gu Duo did not lose ground."

"However, this old servant feels that the Li and Gu families have ulterior motives for stepping forward at this time. After the Emperor disappeared, the Li and Gu families arranged people throughout the entire imperial city, and even in the palace, they arranged guards to enter the palace under the guise of protecting the concubines, princesses and princes."

Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, not at all surprised: "Once Yi Yun Kui gets into trouble, all the demons and monsters in the city will start to stir."

"After all, that position is something everyone wants. By using the pretext of protecting the people, concubines, and princes, even if Yi Yun Kui returns, no one can blame them. If Yi Yun Kui doesn't return, they can take advantage of their proximity and completely control Wangjing City."

Ye Qing'an scoffed: "However, the Gu family...didn't the Gu family experience turmoil before and decline? Why are they jumping out at this time?"

"Do they still have the strength to break out?"

The steward shook his head: "This... this old servant doesn't know, but the Gu family did indeed do that."

Yi Moxu nodded and turned to look at Ye Qing'an: "Yi Yunkui has been hiding for so long, he should be showing himself soon."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "I'll send someone to find out."

Yi Moxu responded, pondered for a moment, and then looked at the steward: "You've been Ye Qinghao's steward for so long, you should be very clear about the affairs of the four major families in this city, right?"

"Know something."

Yi Moxu chuckled: "At this time, the steward doesn't need to be modest. I'd like to ask the steward, what was Liu Enze's mother's identity? And how did she die?"

Although Yi Moxu grew up in the capital, Liu Enze was his master, and Liu Enze's mother was a woman who lived in the backyard, so he knew very little about her.

"Liu Enze's mother..." The steward frowned. "Liu Enze's mother doesn't seem to have a very high status. Liu Enze wasn't born of the principal wife, but rather a son born of a concubine. His mother didn't have much of a presence in the Liu family and passed away early on. Therefore, this old servant doesn't know much about Liu Enze's mother..."
