Chapter 52 His Majesty Needs Treatment
Lord Du’s youngest son is dead!
It is said that he was stabbed in the heart and died in an alley. He looked so miserable and died with his eyes open!
The news spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
Ordinary people were quite happy to hear this news and thought it was a great joy.
After all, Du Chengxiu was not a good person. He had been a naughty and mischievous person since he was a child. When he grew up, he either flirted with girls from other families, stole things from small vendors or went to brothels to fight with others and snatch girls...
There are so many crimes that it is hard to count them all.
Many people have been bullied by him.
It just so happens that such a rotten thing has a father who holds a high position. Lord Du has been an official with integrity for decades, but now he has one foot in the ground and his good reputation has been ruined by his youngest son.
Lord Du, who was fair and honest in the past, could not bear to do anything when it came to his youngest son's problems. He could only use his salary to help his son settle the troubles. Since even money could not solve the problem, he could only rely on his official position to suppress it.
It can be said that the people of the capital have suffered from Du Chengxiu for a long time.
Now that they knew that this bad guy was dead, many of the victims would have wanted to light a couple of strings of firecrackers to celebrate, if they hadn't been afraid of offending Prime Minister Du and being retaliated against by him.
As for who was the hero who killed Du Chengxiu...
The news is not clear. We only know that the murderer was arrested on the same day and is now detained in the government office.
Although no one knew the other party's identity, everyone had their own guesses. It must be that Du Chengxiu had gone too far and made the other person angry, otherwise who would dare to kill the prime minister's son!
Everyone had sympathy and admiration, but no one dared to openly oppose Lord Du. They could only pray silently for the hero in prison.
In the Ye Mansion, Uncle Ye was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.
Due to Madam Ye's physical condition, he didn't dare to tell the truth. He could only talk to Madam Hua first, and the two of them worked together to keep the truth from Madam Ye for the time being.
"Madam Hua, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not give up easily," Uncle Ye said anxiously, "Why don't we find someone to rob the prison in the government office and rescue the young lady!"
Mrs. Hua disagreed:
"Don't worry, Brother Ye. Qiongying still wants to go to the border town to be a general. If she becomes a fugitive first, how can she realize her dream? Don't worry, even if the Xiangfu is bold, they dare not attack the daughter of the Ye family. His Majesty is still alive!
I'll go out and find someone to help plead for mercy. At worst, I'll just ask for punishment.
"Du Chengxiu was at fault in the first place. We just went too far in self-defense. What's wrong with that? By the way, is the guy who did it okay? Didn't they say he has lost his memory and is like a child?"
"He's fine, but he just stayed in the eldest girl's yard and refused to leave."
"Just leave him there and wait," Mrs. Hua shook her head, "Now is not the time to find his family. Let's save Qiongying first."
The two were busy going out to find old acquaintances of the Ye family to help intercede and save Ye Qiongying. They had no time to care about An Yu, and of course they had no intention of pushing him out to bear the wrath of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
People in the Ye Mansion have always been principled.
Since An Yu acted to protect Ye Qiongying, even if the consequences were more troublesome, they would never push a follower who was protecting his master out to take the blame.
However, what the two did not know was that An Yu, who was supposed to stay in Ye Qiongying's yard, had two other people in the room at this time.
Upon seeing An Yu, the two guards in black knelt on the ground:
"His Majesty."
In front of Ye Qiongying, the beautiful young man who was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, had the same appearance as before, but his temperament was completely different. His eyes were deep and cold, like the eyes of a cold-blooded animal hunting its prey:
"Let's go, take me to the palace."
The two secret guards naturally obeyed the order.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them walked out of the room through the back window and left the Ye Mansion quietly.
The protection of the Ye family is handled by Uncle Ye alone. There are many good people in this mansion.
However, those two secret guards were able to take away a young boy who didn't know any martial arts under such protection, which shows how high their martial arts skills are.
As soon as An Yu returned to the bedroom, she was greeted by the worried Liang Dehai.
Seeing his wounds all over his body, Liang Dehai's face turned pale with distress, and he said in panic:
"Your Majesty! Your injury... I will go and summon the imperial physician right now!"
"Stop!" Di Yu'an, who had put on his dragon robe again, called out to Liang Dehai, "Prime Minister Du has entered the palace?"
"Ah?" Liang Dehai was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you. Are you..."
"Let's leave him alone first," Di Yu'an's eyes were sharp, with a bloodthirsty emotion flashing across them, "This old man, at his age, has come back alive. How dare he!"
Liang Dehai didn't care what Du Xiang had done, but he was concerned about Di Yu'an's health:
"Your Majesty, even if you want to get closer... you shouldn't hurt yourself. You have so many injuries. If you are not careful, you... Also, the imperial physician also told you to calm down. Getting angry is harmful to your health and life span! You should ask the imperial physician to come and take a look!"
Di Yuan waved his hand:
"No need, I have already seen the doctor, and there is nothing serious. If you want to achieve your goal, you naturally have to do some drama, so don't make a fuss."
That’s right, except for the amnesia that he pretended, all other injuries of Di Yu’an were real ones.
The old doctor who examined him probably didn't expect that there are people who are so crazy that they are not afraid of losing their lives and make themselves look like this.
Precisely because they could lose their lives if they were not careful, Ye Qiongying and Uncle Ye did not continue to suspect whether "An Yu" was the new bait sent by Yin Xu.
"Have someone sort out the information about Prime Minister Du's family and present it to me," Emperor Yu'an sat back on the dragon chair, "I want to see how those guys developed such a bold character. I have killed too few people in the past two years, so their old habits are about to come back, right? Then I will give them a cure!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Dehai broke out in a cold sweat.
The last time Your Majesty said he would treat everyone, not long after, the court was bloodbathed, which was also the opportunity for Your Majesty to become known as a tyrant.
It's only been a few years since it was quiet, how come...
Liang Dehai didn't dare to say more, and hurried down to instruct the secret guards to sort out all the information related to Prime Minister Du and send it up.
As soon as he got the thing, Di Yu'an began to look through it, and his eyes became more and more gloomy the more he looked.
Looking at his expression, Liang Dehai knew that someone was bound to be in trouble.
On the other side, Du Xiang was waiting here with an angry look on his face.
Naturally, that anger was not directed at His Majesty who had left him here, but at Ye Qiongying who was still imprisoned.
Daughter of the Ye family!
How dare he kill his son!
He must make the other party pay with blood!
