The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 55 The truth emerges
"how is this possible?"

Du Anchen subconsciously wanted to refute, but felt that Tsing Yi did not seem to be lying to him, because there was no need for it.

The hands on the table trembled slightly, and Du Anchen began to recall the process of his illness, his eyes fixed, and he suddenly got up and said: "The prescription is still at my home, let's go back and have a look!"

Tsing Yi didn't stop him, "You finish your meal and drink your medicine first, I'll go and take a look for you, it's easy for people to stare at you when you go out now."

"No, you don't know where the things are, I'll take you back."

Du Anchen suddenly became stubborn, Tsing Yi looked at him in embarrassment: "But the master will be here soon, and no one can be found—"

"Don't wait, I'm here."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Yu, who was wearing a white fox fur and black brocade robe, was standing at the door.

She looked up, her eyes were light, and she nodded to Du Anchen: "It seems that my two hidden guards went there in time."

Seeing Xiao Yu, Du Anchen quickly got up and cupped his hands, "Cao Min has seen His Majesty, thank you His Majesty for your help, otherwise Cao Min would not have seen His Majesty today."

When Du Anchen thought of what happened yesterday, he still had lingering fears and bouts of fear.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "You can go back if you want, but you have to be mentally prepared first."

"Huh? Why?"

Du Anchen still didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Yu's words at this time. He didn't understand what "psychological preparation" was until he stood with Xiao Yu in the alley of his house and was roasted by the blazing fire.

"Do not……"

Du Anchen's face was flushed by the flames, his lips were trembling, his eyes were distracted, and he murmured: "Why did it suddenly catch fire? Didn't it snow last night? How could it catch fire?!"

As he said that, he wanted to rush over, "No!"

Tsing Yi and Lan Yi clasped Du Anchen's shoulders from left to right, pressing him firmly.

Han Yi glanced at him, and said in a calm voice, "If you can't silence them, they will burn your home and make you homeless. This is revenge, and it's a warning."

Du Anchen struggled for a while, and knelt on the ground as if he was exhausted. The stretched string finally broke. He sat on the ground and cried bitterly: "Why? What did I do wrong? I depend on my mother for life, and I have never sinned against anyone. Why did you do this to us? Why? Ah—"

There were quite a few yamen servants coming and going around, trying to put out the fire. Someone shouted, "Forget it, the fire is too big to be saved. No one is inside, so let's do it. Anyway, it can't burn the surrounding area."

Hearing this sentence, Du Anchen's shoulders collapsed again, and he buried his head in his hands on his knees, his neck was red from crying.

Xiao Yu, who had been silent all this time, had a jumping flame in his eyes, his face was slightly flushed, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

Han Yi glanced at her, but couldn't see anything from her face, so she could only ask softly: "Master, the house is burned, and even if there are any clues, it will be wiped out. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we should leave as soon as possible."

Xiao Yu nodded lightly, his bright eyes moved lightly, looked at the numb Du Anchen who was crying, and said softly, "Brother Du."

Du Anchen was startled, it was clear that the voices of people around him were noisy and mixed with the sound of burning flames. In the chaos, Xiao Yu's voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear.

Clear and cold, it instantly reminded him of the snow that fell on his face last night.

He was shocked, and looked at Xiao Yu in a daze: "My son..."

Holding the hand warmer in his hand, Xiao Yu sighed softly: "Forget about this place, this will be a piece of ruins from now on, and it will no longer be your home. You are sad, we still have business to do, go back to the inn first."

Du Anchen felt a pain in his heart. It wasn't until this moment that he truly confirmed that his mother had passed away. At the same time, he was still involved in the abyss. He couldn't figure out where the road ahead was, and he seemed to be drifting with the tide...

A group of people returned to the inn by a secluded path. There were not many people in the early morning. Even if they saw the three people in Han Yi, ordinary people would not dare to look directly at them, and wished they could make a detour.

After entering the inn and closing the door, Xiao Yu took his seat first, Du Anchen was so restrained that he didn't know what to do, Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "Brother Du, sit down and talk, go and wait outside the door in blue clothes."

"Yes."

Tsing Yi and Lan Yi watched from the door, and Han Yi stood behind Xiao Yu, looking at Du Anchen.

Staring at the gazes of the two, Du Anchen felt even more stressed. He slowly supported the table and sat down. Looking down at the table, his heart was blank and very sour. of?"

As he said that, he looked at Xiao Yu hesitantly. Although he was still afraid in his heart, his eyes became firmer, "Is her death related to the Prince Regent's Palace, or—"

"It's about me."

Xiao Yu took his words, gave him an affirmative answer, and immediately saw Du Anchen's eyes darken.

She didn't care, and said bluntly: "A month ago, I fell into the water in the mansion and almost lost my life. I walked before the gate of hell, but I was dragged back by the doctor when I died. It was your mother who pushed me into the water."

"impossible!"

Du Anchen stood up abruptly, very emotional, "My mother has always been generous, and everyone in the neighbors praised her. She never did evil to others. How could she push the prince into the water? There must be something hidden in it!"

Han Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Calm down."

Du Anchen was afraid of Han Yi from the bottom of his heart. This man's eyes were too indifferent, and he looked very powerful. When he looked at each other, he felt his heart almost stopped beating.

Suffocated, he hesitated to sit down.Xiao Yu poured him a glass of water and pushed him over, "Brother Du, listen to me."

"I was in a daze at the time, and I didn't have time to think about it. Afterwards, I realized that something was wrong, so I sent someone to investigate. My father was still alive at the time, and I did not find anything. Your mother fell into the water with me, and she pushed me down. Afterwards, she didn't come up either, she was old after all, so she went there on the spot..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu paused for a moment, and then continued: "I checked this matter again these days, and found some problems."

Du Anchen's teeth chattered, "Say it."

"Before that, I couldn't figure out what your mother's motive was for doing this. Until I met Brother Du, I probably did."

"what?"

Du Anchen didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Yu's words for a long time, and Xiao Yu didn't urge her. She tapped her fingertips on the table, "Brother Du, has he been ill for about two months?"

Du Anchen's whole body froze, as if he had been struck by lightning. In an instant, his heart was blessed, and a line in his chaotic mind gradually became clear.

His hands on his legs suddenly tightened his clothes, and when his Adam's apple slipped, he said with great difficulty: "Yes, my cold has not recovered for a long time, and my mother is very worried. She paid some money with the housekeeper of the palace and went to the medicine hall. I asked the doctor to get the medicine, and it was all spent. Seeing that the family was struggling, my mother comforted me that there would be a way. I chased him out, and I only gave half of the money after asking for it several times."
