Chapter 75 I just want to find out her secret
"He is my follower, An Yu," Ye Qiongying thought that Eunuch Liang was asking about An Yu's identity, and took the initiative to explain, "I only brought two people this time, one is my uncle, and the other is him."
Eunuch Liang smiled and said:
"Miss Ye, don't worry. My intention is that the carriage you brought must have a lot of things on it, so it's not convenient for people to sit. This little brother doesn't look very healthy, so why don't you come to my place?"
He smiled very kindly, looking really considerate and caring.
Ye Qiongying didn't know whether the eunuch beside the tyrant was really too kind, or had other purposes, such as wanting to get some information from the people around her?
But she behaved uprightly and was not afraid that An Yu would say something shameful.
However, she looked at An Yu and said to Eunuch Liang:
"This is really too much of a bother. I am just an attendant. How can I ride with you, sir?"
It seemed that An Yu was rarely willing to get close to anyone except her.
Although it is still not completely certain whether everything the young man showed was true or false, Ye Qiongying still understood his feelings and politely declined Eunuch Liang's proposal.
Eunuch Liang was not angry either. Instead, he leaned over to look at An Yu behind him and asked:
"That's fine. Little brother, how about coming to my house? It's just right, so when your daughter is tired of riding, she can take a rest in the carriage."
An Yu looked at Liang Dehai, then at the carriage. Just when Ye Qiongying thought he would hide behind her to show his resistance, An Yu actually nodded:
"Okay, An Yu is willing to go. Sister, have a good rest!"
After he finished speaking, he gave Ye Qiongying an expectant look, as if he was waiting for her praise.
Ye Qiongying was helpless and reached out to pat him on the head gently:
"Thank you, Anyu."
But she didn't notice the shock in Eunuch Liang's eyes when he saw her hand on An Yu's head.
"You're welcome," An Yu turned her head away shyly, two red clouds flying on her jade-like cheeks, looking particularly cute, "An Yu is going to get in the carriage!"
After saying this, without waiting for their reaction, he climbed onto the carriage and got in, as if he was really shy because of Ye Qiongying's thanks.
Ye Qiongying hurriedly explained to Liang Dehai:
"Eunuch Liang, this child accidentally got hurt in the head before, his memory is damaged, and he behaves a little childishly, so..."
Liang Dehai laughed:
"No problem, no problem. I just like to get along with such straightforward young people. Miss Ye, let's set off now! The team at the city gate has been waiting for quite some time."
"it is good."
Ye Qiongying didn't know what to say. She glanced at the carriage curtain that had already dropped, moved her foot on the horse's belly, and then led the horse forward.
At the gate of the Ye Mansion, Old Madam Ye and Madam Hua watched her riding away on her horse, but it seemed as if they saw several other figures from behind.
That was what it looked like when Ye's father and his companions went to the border town...
Old man, my son, if you are still alive in heaven, please protect this girl Qiongying and let her return safely.
Old Madam Ye held the Buddhist beads in her hand and recited silently in her heart.
The carriage passed through the downtown area.
Although it was still early, breakfast stalls had already been set up here, and the roadside was filled with the sounds of hawking.
Ye Qiongying and the carriage both slowed down to avoid accidentally hitting anyone.
From time to time she would glance at the carriage behind.
I don’t know if An Yu will feel uncomfortable in there.
However, people outside would never have thought that the situation in the carriage at this time was completely opposite to what Ye Qiongying was worried about.
An Yu, who should have been timid and cowardly, was sitting upright in the carriage without any sign of fear or panic.
But Liang Dehai, the chief steward, knelt carefully on the other side and served An Yu tea:
"Your Majesty, do you... do you really want to follow Miss Ye to the border town?"
"Of course," Di Yu'an looked at the curtain on the car window, as if he could see the figures outside through the curtain, "Is everything arranged in the palace?"
"I have done it according to your instructions, Your Majesty." Liang, the chief steward, was still a little uneasy. "Your Majesty, how long will it take for you to return to the capital? If you are discovered in the palace... Also, Miss Ye doesn't know your identity. You are still her attendant, so you will inevitably need to do some chores. And Miss Ye's behavior may be a little... This, is it not appropriate?"
He was worried about how His Majesty could do the work of those attendants.
He was also worried that if Miss Ye accidentally did something offensive, His Majesty would kill her in a rage.
Just like the action of touching the head just now, this may not be the first time!
Before, a palace maid wanted to touch His Majesty’s face, but before she actually touched it, she was dealt with.
Your Majesty is obviously very averse to being touched by others.
Unlike before, although those people met with a miserable end, it can only be said that Your Majesty's methods were a bit extreme. To say that they were innocent, they are not really innocent.
But Ye Mansion...
Even a eunuch like Liang Dehai knew the tragedy of the Ye Mansion.
Miss Ye did not know His Majesty's identity, and if she accidentally violated a taboo, her death would be too unjust.
Emperor Yu Anke was not as worried as Liang Dehai, and said nonchalantly:
"I have been claiming to be ill and not attending court for the past few days. From now on, I have my own secret guards as substitutes, and I will recover well in the palace.
As for the memorials from the court, I have also arranged people to handle them. If there is any emergency, just send a pigeon to me for my review.
And you, Liang Dehai, after you arrive at the border town this time, you should hurry back to the palace! I will feel more at ease if I leave these to you."
Liang Dehai looked worried, but he didn't dare to object openly.
His Majesty's temper is such that he won't agree to anything just because he says no.
Liang Dehai could only ask:
"Your Majesty, are you sure about the purse? But didn't Miss Ye say that it wasn't hers? Could it really have been dropped by the woman in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion?"
It’s not that he has a better impression of Leng Qianqian.
But if the purse had nothing to do with Ye Qiongying, Your Majesty would not have to go to the border town.
Di Yuan snorted:
"Whoever it belongs to, I will decide for myself.
In addition, I suspect that it has nothing to do with the purse itself. These past few days, just staying with Ye Qiongying has helped calm the restless emotions in my body.
I have to figure out what’s going on.”
He didn't care how long he could live, nor did he care about his reputation as a tyrant, but he didn't like the existence of things that were beyond his control, whether it was his uncontrollable temper or the abnormality in Ye Qiongying that could suppress his temper.
"Then... Your Majesty, why don't you keep Miss Ye in the capital? If it's because of the Du family's matter, you can let Miss Ye serve in the palace as a punishment, and then release her from the palace when the time comes. Isn't this more convenient than going to the border town?" Liang Dehai said earnestly.
Di Yu paused for a second before speaking directly:
"I have my own plans, you don't need to say anything more!"
He wouldn't say that he himself hadn't figured out what was going on. After knowing Ye Qiongying's ambition, he couldn't help but want to fulfill her wish and took this opportunity to send her to the border town.
Obviously... he just wanted to find out what secrets she had.
