Chapter 297 You are not good at it
Facts proved that Ye Qingran's guess was right.
Today she has been feeling that someone is following her, just to make herself look like an ordinary person, so she doesn't dare to arrest anyone.
Fortunately, after returning to the capital, she had been on guard against being discovered, and would dress up in disguise every time she went out.
Unexpectedly, even so, he was still being targeted.
Don't think too much, it's either Concubine Xian's people or Emperor Dog's people. Only they have such means in the capital and can find her whereabouts so quickly.
A few days ago, it seemed that these people were still unsure of her identity, so they used a few tricks to get rid of her, but today, for some reason, they couldn't get rid of her, as if they were determined to block her way.
Seeing that she was about to follow him to the Zhairan Building, wouldn't that further solidify her relationship with the Zhanran Building?
After much thought, I decided to take a different route and have a good meeting with these people.
With this idea in mind, she found a dark alley and walked in. The people following her followed her.
Soon, Ye Qingran walked out of the darkness and blocked the way of the visitor.
"After following you for so long, what do you want to do?"
Ye Qingran didn't make any unnecessary moves, he just stood in front of him.
The man following him was quite alert, but he didn't expect Ye Qingran to be so good at pretending to be able to lure him over in this way.
This man was dressed very ordinary, as if he was just trying to blend in with the pedestrians on the street. Unfortunately, his purpose was too strong. For her, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, it was still eye-catching.
When the man saw that he had been discovered, he stopped pretending. His eyes were cold, he looked her up and down, and asked directly: "Are you... Ye Qingran?"
"Who is Ye Qingran?"
She smiled and said, "Did you find the wrong person?"
The man frowned: "Impossible."
He answered very decisively, and then took a step forward, "You are very good at pretending, but this has no effect on me. If you tell the truth, I can leave you a way to survive."
But Ye Qingran didn't take it seriously at all, because she could see that when the man said this, he was not too sure, but more considerate. It was obvious that he was deceiving her, and she would not Fooled.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm good at pretending or not. You're definitely not good at it."
Ye Qingran narrowed his eyes, "Okay, I just think you got the wrong person. If you follow me again, I will report you to the official."
After saying that, Ye Qingran bypassed him and left.
This person didn't seem to be very smart. After hearing what she said, he was still thinking about it in his mind and didn't stop her, just letting her leave like this.
After the people left, he took out a portrait from his arms and looked at it carefully. He felt that it didn't look like the person just now, so he could only sigh and go back to report.
After walking away, Ye Qingran breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was following him.
"Fortunately, he is stupid. It would be really hard to fool someone who is smarter." She murmured softly.
After going to the restaurant to check the situation as usual, he quickly returned home.
Ye Qingran was a little worried.
Although he didn't fight the man he stopped today, he could still tell from his steps that he was very capable. It was probably not something Concubine Xian could handle, so it seemed like he was sent by the emperor.
This couple really colluded with each other to deal with her!
According to the original plan, Ye Qingran planned to gain a foothold in the capital, seize the handle of some important officials, expand his influence in the capital, and then officially come out against the Dog Emperor when he was capable enough.
But now the emperor has discovered her. Although it is not confirmed yet, it will be a matter of time.
If he continues like this, he will inevitably endanger his family. From this point of view, it may be a little too early to come to the capital.
Chu Qingyun also had his own affairs to deal with in the past few days. Calculating the time, he should be back today. Ye Qingran waited until the sky darkened, but failed to wait for Chu Qingyun. Instead, he waited for Liu Xiang.
"There hasn't been much movement these days, but you finally remembered me today?"
Ye Qingran looked at him and recalled the last time he saw Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang sighed and was very embarrassed: "It's good that I can come out and see you now. Last time the third prince wanted to assassinate the second prince, I was tricked by the third prince. After that, he has been doubting me. These geniuses Finally he stopped staring at me.”
"You come out to find me in such a dangerous situation? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"I also want to be cautious, but there is one thing I have to tell you in person, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
After hearing this, Ye Qingran looked at it seriously and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I found that the Third Prince suddenly gathered a group of people. I don't know what to do. And among these people, there are old acquaintances of ours."
Liu Xiang said somewhat mysteriously, "Guess who it is?"
"You said it's an important thing, and you still want me to guess? If I can guess it, what else do I need you to do?"
Ye Qingran raised his hand as if to hit someone and threatened him. Then Liu Xiang stopped trying to be pretentious and replied, "It's Aksu."
"Aksu?"
This was indeed something Ye Qingran had not expected.
After the destruction of the Northern Wasteland, Aksu had only one way to die, and the news she received was that Aksu died in the sin slave camp, but today he appeared in the third prince's circle again. There seemed to be something fishy in it.
Before Ye Qingran could think about it, Chu Qingyun's voice came from outside the door.
"Ran'er, I'm back."
"Just in time."
Ye Qingran stood up and opened the door and welcomed him in.
When he saw Liu Xiang, Chu Qingyun knew that they were talking about something and asked, "What happened?"
"The third prince secretly rescued Aksu and took him under his command. He has been gathering with him in the past few days. I don't know what to do. Do you have any news over there?"
Ye Qingran briefly explained the matter. Chu Qingyun thought about it carefully, shook his head and replied: "No, but I can check it out."
"You guys should check this matter first. I can't stay any longer, so I'll leave first. Please help me if you have the chance. I don't dare to go out every day now for fear of being suspected by the third prince. Okay, I'm leaving now."
Looking at Liu Xiang's back, Ye Qingran only felt funny and pitiful. When there was a chance, she had to help him divert the attention of the third prince.
"I remembered something."
Chu Qingyun pondered for a while and suddenly spoke.
"what?"
"That day at the flower viewing party, I felt something was fishy when you were hit by an arrow, but because I couldn't reveal my identity in front of the Third Prince, I didn't have the chance to think too much about it. Since I checked too late, I only knew that the assassin was a woman. Today At first glance, it is almost certain that he is the third prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingran reacted.
"You mean... the assassin who fired the cold arrow that day was Aksu?"
