Chapter 22 Strategic Constraint (Part 2/3)

"Thank you, Qiyang" Jun Liyuan said.

"No worries, Third Brother." After some deliberation, Ling Qiyang said again, "Actually, if that person is really Fifth Brother's subordinate, he should be in a more dangerous than us."

"What do you mean?" Jun Liche was perplexed.

"Parasite Masters raise parasites to manipulate others. They are selfish individuals who only act for themselves and achieve their own wishes. If Fifth Brother hired that Parasite Master, then according to Parasite Masters, he would have done something to ensure his personal safety. Obviously, there is no better way to do so than to keep the life of his Master within his hands. Suppose the Parasite Master is controlling Fifth Brother through threats and coercion. In that case, we have all reason to believe that Fifth Brother is already under a parasitic infection." Jun Chengxi may have believed that the Parasite Master strengthened his overall power. Little did he know, he just dug his grave.

"That's true." Jun Liche sighed.

"From Fifth Brother's behaviour, everything seems to be normal." Jun Liyuan said.

"Whether not its true, Mo Yu'er can tell at one glance. Even if he isn't infected, he will be chronically poisoned if he has been in contact with that Parasite Master for a long period. Either way, it will be harmful to his body." Ling Qiyang took a sip of tea. The fragrance from the tea made him feel much more relaxed.

" Mo Yu'er? It has this ability too?" Jun Liche smirked as he talked about that adorable cat.

"Medicine Cats are a combination of medicine and poison. Medicine can detoxify poisons, but poisons can also nullify other poisons. Hence, they will detect any abnormalities." Ling Qiyang laughed, "But Mo Yu'er is not too fond of the scent of parasites. He will retreat from the scent and not attack like he usually does."

"That's fine. At least the reaction from Mo Yu'er will not give away anything." Jun Lixuan said.

"Well, I will take that little thing with me. Most likely, Fifth Brother will not overthink about it." The entire palace knew that Jun Liche liked Mo Yu'er very much. His love for little creatures was well-known. It was the safest for him to take Mo Yu'er along.

"Then, let's go with this plan." Jun Liyuan said. For the time being, this was their best choice.

The moment they ended their discussion, a loud noise boomed outside the door.

"Prince Consort, you can't go in, Your Highness is having a meeting. Please do not disturb him." The attendant at the door dutifully said.

"I know that Your Highness working hard. I came with Concubine Zhao to have a look and brought some ginseng soup for him. It's good tonic relieve Your Highness's fatigue." Concubine Helian smiled.

His Royal Highness Yi had two concubines, and they have entered his manor for some time. According to Emperor Yanxi, whoever give births to a son first will be the main wife. As such, the competition had placed them at odds with each other. For them to come together, they must have a common purpose. However, Ye Empire had always suffered a low birth rate. Both of them have no idea when they will have a child. Even if they did, a safe delivery was uncertain. Any wise person knew that Emperor Yanxi did not see them as candidates for the main wife's position. Letting them both into the manor at the same time was just to ensure a balance of power.

The attendants stood in front of the door and said respectfully, "Madams, Your Highness does not want to be disturbed. Please do not make it hard for me. For Madams to enter Your Highness's personal yard without order is already non-compliance. If you insist on going in, wouldn't it annoy Your Highness further?"

Concubine Zhao frowned and asked sceptically, "Your Highness is really busy?"

"Why would I lie to you?" The attendant lowered his head and said earnestly.

Concubine Helian tugged on the former and said, "Sister, don't listen to him. How long has Your Highness not entered our yard? Even if he is busy, he needs to rest. I think Your Highness got bewitched by a vixen. I bet he's keeping her in his own yard. That's why he doesn't have time for us."

Compared to Concubine Zhao, Concubine Helian was much more daring with her words.

Concubine Zhao's brows knitted more tightly. She also heard some gossip about someone living secretly in the Third Prince's yard. This time she followed along to investigate personally. However, she was not prepared to get on Jun Liyuan's wrong side.

Hearing the presumptuous concubine's words, Jun Liche snorted coldly. He threw a glance at his Third Brother and then at Mo Qingge. He stood up and said, "I won't get involved with Third Brother's family affairs. I will make my move and go to the palace to meet Emperor Father. Qingge, take care and don't hurt again."

Mo Qingge nodded awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Each word he heard was like a slap on his cheeks. He had thought about the possibility of marrying into His Royal Highness Yi Manor, If that happened, the people outside were sure to condemn him. After all, he was just a performer. He had even forgotten that there were concubines already in the manor. Their presence would only make his existence even more embarrassing and difficult.

"Lixuan, you and Qiyang wait for a while, and I will send Liche out first." Jun Liyuan's face had darkened to a liquorice black. While his tone was still, it was like the calm before the storm. The two women outside had evidently snapped his patience.

Jun Lixuan nodded, saying nothing.

The door opened. When the two concubines saw His Royal Highness Yi with the dark expression, their hearts almost stopped. Seeing the Sixth Prince come out together, they knew their fates were sealed. Jun Liyuan was really meeting about official duties instead of frolicking with another woman like they suspected.
