Chapter 71: Your Majesty, the Wily One
"Get up and answer the question," An Yu, no, it should be Di Yu'an, who had already closed the window and sat down at the table. He looked at the secret guard who stood up as he was told, "Is the matter done?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," the secret guard bowed his head, "The An family has already left the capital and found nothing wrong. In addition, Miss Ye..."
"Hmm?" Di Yu'an asked, "Ye Qiongying? What did she do?"
"Miss Ye sent someone to secretly steal the 100 taels of silver from the An family and distributed them to the guards," the secret guard said. "Now the An family is penniless. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to return home."
Transportation in that era was not as convenient as it is today. To return home from the capital, even if one took a horse-drawn carriage for several days, it would take at least ten days or half a month.
Now they were penniless, and in order to afford food and drink on the road, they would have to lose the donkey cart.
If I just walk back home, it might take several months or even half a year, and I might even have to beg all the way back home.
Judging from the habits of that group of people, they will probably suffer a lot along the way.
The secret guard thought that His Majesty would have some bad reaction. After all, judging from His Majesty's attitude, he still values Miss Ye very much.
As a man, don’t you have these thoughts about women?
Now that he discovered the other party's tactics, he might feel disillusioned.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yu'an chuckled a few times and sighed:
"now it's right……"
If he was really a little fool who remembered nothing, Ye Qiongying's behavior today would have naturally been able to keep the secret from him.
But Di Yu'an was not as weak as he looked. In fact, he knew everything that happened in the crowd.
When seeing Ye Qiongying let the An family go so easily, Di Yuan felt a little disappointed, until now...
Knowing that Ye Qiongying had done something else, he felt a sense of pleasure that it was supposed to be this way.
"Keep an eye on that family," Di Yu'an said. "Ye Qiongying has already said that they cannot be allowed to set foot in the capital again. You must keep an eye on them. If they set foot on the land of the capital, your feet will no longer be needed."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The secret guard immediately knelt down, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Others might just say this as a threat, but Your Majesty... that's someone who can really chop off someone's feet.
"Then has the real An Yu been settled?" When mentioning this, Di Yu'an's eyes narrowed.
"He has been sent to another place and has been properly settled," the secret guard said hurriedly, "but his body is too weak. The doctor said that he may not be able to be saved. It all depends on whether he has the will to live."
Di Yuan touched his chin with his fingers:
"Tsk! If he survives, you can retreat. If he doesn't survive, it's because he is incompetent. The deal I made with him is not to protect him for the rest of his life."
That's right.
There is a real person called "An Yu".
The things about the An family are also true.
However, An Yu, who had been weak for so many years, couldn't help but escape after learning that his biological father and stepmother had arranged to sell him to the wealthy businessman who loved beautiful women.
But his health had long since deteriorated over the years, and he was unfamiliar with the capital. The key point was that he had a pretty face that was difficult to tell whether it was androgynous, and he looked weak and could be bullied.
Just escape from the wolf's den, and fall into the tiger's den.
I was blocked in an alley by a group of thugs and was almost bullied.
He happened to meet Emperor Yu'an who was leaving the palace.
Di Yu'an is not a pure evil person, but he is definitely not a kind-hearted saint either.
Under normal circumstances, he would not intervene rashly.
But after seeing the appearance of the young man, Di Yuan had an idea.
He just needed a suitable identity to get close to Ye Qiongying.
Therefore, Emperor Yu'an ordered his secret guards to rescue the man, and after learning about his background, he felt that he was a suitable candidate.
He made a deal with the original An Yu, and the identity of "An Yu" was given to Di Yu'an. "An Yu" himself could no longer use this name, nor could he call himself a member of the An family.
In exchange, Di Yu'an would help him escape from the An family, hire a doctor to treat him, and help him settle down in another place.
To some extent, Emperor Yu'an was not the bloodthirsty tyrant as people said. Otherwise, if the original "An Yu" was killed at this time, the matter would be solved perfectly and there would be no future troubles.
There is no need to make any transactions at all.
"An Yu" himself naturally wanted to escape from that nightmare home. His biological father forced his biological mother to death, and his stepmother and her gang had abused him for a long time. Now they wanted to sell him as a boy catamite. "An Yu" had no thoughts about this family anymore.
He could see that Di Yu'an was no simple man, and he was not afraid that this nobleman would be bullied by the An family. As for what Di Yu'an would do to the An family, he didn't care at all.
"An Yu" agreed to the deal immediately and was sent out of the capital on the same day.
It was just because my body was so weak that I had to force myself to escape. Now I finally have hope. The moment I relax, I’m about to die.
Fortunately, there was a doctor hired at a high price, otherwise this kid would have died for sure.
Di Yu'an became An Yu that day and collapsed in front of Ye Qiongying's carriage. After waking up, he naturally lost all his memories and became completely dependent on his "sister".
He was not worried that Ye Qiongying would find the An family.
As the emperor, Di Yu'an knew the Ye family's motto very well.
The Ye family would never do something like dragging innocent people into the fire pit.
It would have been a good thing if the An family had not been found. Ye Qiongying would most likely take his situation into consideration and keep him in the capital so that he would not miss his family.
But once the An family showed up and Ye Qiongying discovered something wrong with this family, it would only help him completely sever his relationship with this group of blood-sucking worms. Just in case, she would take him with her and rush to the border town together.
This is exactly what Emperor Yuan wanted.
The An family has no connections in the capital, and their remaining assets were all swindled away. How could they get the news so quickly and rush to the government office to demand someone's release?
Naturally, it was Emperor Yu'an who ordered the secret guards to go over and pass the message to the An family without making any noise.
The An family lived up to everyone's expectations. As expected, when they heard that their son who could be sold for money had appeared, they ran over without any delay and just happened to run into Ye Qiongying.
Di Yu'an was about to say something else, but suddenly his expression paused and he waved his hand.
The secret guard understood what he meant, stood up and jumped, hiding in the shadows high up.
At the same time, there were slight footsteps approaching outside.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Perhaps knowing that An Yu would not pay attention to other people, the person outside spoke at the right time:
"Anyu, it's me, are you asleep?"
It was Ye Qiongying whom they had just mentioned.
Di Yu'an stood up, and the expression on his face instantly changed from stern to obedient. He trotted over and opened the door:
"Sister! Are you coming to accompany Anyu?"
The secret guard on the beam choked and almost choked to death.
Although I know that His Majesty is good at disguise, it is still a bit scary to see this scene!
Who could have thought that this little rabbit-like boy would be their famous Majesty?
Ye Qiongying was welcomed in by An Yu outside the house, but her expression did not ease. Instead, she looked at the roof as soon as she entered the door and asked:
"Anyu, is there anyone else in your room?"
