Chapter 55 An Yunhe's Secret

"Your Highness, you don't have to be so polite. I am only doing what my younger sister Xier asked me to do."

Ling Fengyan handed a letter to An Yunhe.

"I have already interrogated Aunt Liu last night. Please give this to Xier for me."

An Yunhe put away the envelope calmly, "Okay."

An Ruxue looked at her third brother, whom she had just trusted, and handed her to Ling Fengyan.

An Yunhe left without looking back and didn't even look at her.

Old Madam An was already dumbfounded at this moment. Her wrinkled face became slightly distorted at this moment.

"What is going on? Why did Yunhe leave?"

Ling Fengyan turned around and glanced at the two of them.

"Someone, take them away."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Guards came over and looked at the two of them with grim eyes.

Old Madam An and several maids beside her were taken away trembling.

An Ruxue was dragged to another room. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a bloody smell. She was held by her arms and barely raised her head to look at the middle of the room.

She saw Aunt Liu tied up on the rack inside, her clothes stained red with blood.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, as if she had seen the tragic situation that would happen to her next.

"No, I don't want to go in, Dad, save me, Dad."

But when she turned around, she only saw Ling Fengxun's cold face.

"This king reunited you and your daughter, you should thank this king."

An Ruxue's face was ashen. She

knelt on the ground, paralyzed and without strength.

She endured the severe pain of being beaten with twenty sticks not long ago,

and kowtowed to Ling Fengxun with a strong desire to survive. "Please spare my life, my lord. I don't know how I have offended you. I beg you to let me go. As long as you forgive me, I will do anything!"

As she spoke, she raised her tearful face and pinched her collar with her fingers.

The meaning was very clear.

Since An Yunxi was able to seduce the Regent King, it means that the Regent King is not a man who is not interested in women. If you can make good use of this, it is not a dead end. But

the next moment, the Regent King kicked her without mercy.

An Ruxue fainted after being kicked with such force.

Ling Fengxun glanced at An Ruxue who fainted on the ground, his eyes seemed to be looking at something dirty.

"You are worthy?"

An Yunhe walked out of the courtyard and got back on the carriage. He put the letter to An Yunxi close to his body.

The driver in front was not very old. He was a servant who had served him for many years.

"Sir, are we going back home now?"

An Yunhe nodded slightly: "Yes."

The servant asked in confusion: "Sir, when did you buy such a big mansion? The old lady and the second lady are really lucky to have you take care of them."

An Yunhe raised the corner of his lips. He didn't expect that the servants at home would look at him like this.

But it's okay, "Someone is taking care of them here, so I can rest assured."

The carriage sped, and it was faster when going back.

The people who were watching at the door had already dispersed. An Yunhe pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, arriving at Mrs. Du's courtyard.

"Madam, the third young master is back!"

A maid came in to report, and Mrs. Du quickly stood up: "I'll go see him."

An Yunxi, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward and held her mother's arm: "I'll go with you."

The two of them arrived at the door, and An Yunhe had already entered the courtyard. He bowed to his mother and said respectfully: "Mother."

Mrs. Du pulled An Yunhe to sit on the stone pier beside her.

"Where did you send the old lady and An Ruxue?"

An Yunhe lowered his eyes and said, "They said they would report to the police. In order to prevent it from affecting my mother's reputation, I sent them to a house in the suburbs for temporary residence."

Mrs. Du explained, "Don't blame me, I did this just because I didn't want the family to be disturbed."

An Yunhe smiled lightly, his eyes gentle, "No matter what you do, I should stand by your side, not to mention that they are indeed wrong."

An Yunxi blinked at An Yunhe.

Before she went to find An Ruxue, she had already told her third brother in advance, asking him to help send the two people to Ling Fengxun.

It was not convenient for her to interrogate An Ruxue in public, and it was difficult to pry open her mouth.

But if Ling Fengxun takes action, even if it is made of iron or copper, he can break it off for her.

An Yunhe raised his eyes gently and looked at An Yunxi.

Before he could say anything, An Yunxi asked, "Did the prince ask my third brother to bring me a message?"

An Yunhe was slightly stunned, and his hand that was about to take out the letter paused slightly.

He smiled and said, "Could it be that you two really have a telepathic connection?"

An Yunxi blinked, "Maybe."

An Yunhe put the letter in her hand: "Here, take a look."

An Yunxi did not avoid An Yunhe and Mrs. Du, and directly unfolded the letter in front of them.

Mrs. Du looked suspicious, always feeling that the two siblings had done something bad behind her back.

"Xi'er, is this the letter from the prince?"

An Yunxi answered her mother, "Yes, what is copied on it is the confession confessed by Aunt Liu."

She looked at the letter where Aunt Liu personally admitted to one evil deed after another, and her eyes instantly became extremely cold.

An Yunhe was standing next to her and also saw the contents on it.

Of course, even if he didn't read it, he roughly knew what was written on it.

After a moment, An Yunxi gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt Liu and Dad have been together long before she met Mom."

This incident reminded her of An Ruxue and the prince.

It's true that like mother, like daughter!

Mrs. Du's face turned pale when she heard this.

An Yunhe said in a deep voice: "Dad hid it very well."

"She also said that General An wanted to marry her, but it was a pity that the An family took a fancy to your status and position, so they deliberately concealed the matter, intending to use the power of the Marquis' Mansion to rise to the top."

Mrs. Du's eyelashes drooped and trembled slightly.

She smiled bitterly: "So that's the case."

"There's something even more hateful. On the day she almost killed mother, she originally wanted to push you directly into the icy lake to drown, but she was found to be there, so she jumped into the lake to save people. Since then, she has publicized this matter everywhere, and with a life-saving grace, you have treated them and her daughter well for so many years!"

An Yunxi pinched the letter into wrinkles.

Seeing the bloody truth in front of her, Mrs. Du felt that her breathing stopped for a moment.

An Yunhe stared into An Yunxi's eyes, gently opened his thin lips, and his elegant face showed an expression of sharing the same hatred with her.

"She deserves to die."

An Yunhe's voice made An Yunxi feel better.

She had already known these things a long time ago, and had also reminded her mother. The reason why she said it again in front of An Yunhe was to let him know the truth.

To avoid being deceived by the mother and daughter who pretended to be weak.

After all, her third brother's character is too weak and kind.

The third brother An, who had just sent the people to the regent, asked: "Xier, how do you want them to die?"

An Yunxi: ""

She saw An Yunhe's serious expression, and her mind went blank in an instant, and she even forgot what to say next.

Without waiting for An Yunxi to answer, An Yunhe spoke to himself: "Five horses torn the body, thousands of arrows piercing the heart, or directly turned into a human pig, which way of death do you think is more suitable?"

His tone of voice was not much different from usual.

Instead, he looked at An Yunxi very seriously.

An Yunxi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then let's do it all at once"

An Yunhe slightly curved his eyes.

Then he raised his hand and touched An Yunxi's head.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

An Yunxi thought An Yunhe was joking to make her and her mother happy.

She was still holding the confession with dense words in her hand, and suddenly saw the last sentence.

Aunt Liu said that she was instructed by someone

. Although she had expected it in her heart, after seeing this sentence, An Yunxi was sure that someone seemed to be playing a chess game in her past and present lives.

She was just a more important chess piece on the chessboard.

If she could not live her life again, her fate would still be firmly in someone's hands.

In fact, from the moment she spread her so-called phoenix life, someone had trapped her in a conspiracy.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at An Yunhe in front of her.

"Third brother, you are the smartest. Can you guess who is behind this and instructs Aunt Liu to harm our family?"

An Yunhe was slightly stunned.

After a moment, he gently opened his lips and said in a gentle voice: "This person has so many means, even Aunt Liu doesn't know his identity. It is naturally not simple. The person who can do this in the capital must be a high-ranking and powerful person, most likely from the palace."

An Yunxi pondered for a while.

She began to check one by one those who had grudges against the An family and the Marquis' Mansion.

There were too many results to think of.

Therefore, she could only check from the people who benefited the most.

The people who ruined her marriage with the prince and benefited the most were only the second prince and the imperial concubine.

And the imperial concubine was the daughter of the Chu family of the prime minister's mansion, and was also Chu Wanran's aunt.

An Yunhe suddenly spoke again: "Xi'er, don't trust anyone in the palace easily."

An Yunxi couldn't help but look up at An Yunhe.

She just felt that the third brother seemed to know something.

But just after saying this, An Yunhe suddenly coughed more seriously. His shoulders trembled slightly, and his body was weak, as if he could be blown down by the wind at any time.

Mrs. Du didn't have time to be sad about Aunt Liu's confession, and hurriedly looked at her son worriedly.

An Yunxi also cared, "Third brother, how are you, have you taken medicine well recently?"

She took An Yunhe's pulse slightly, and her eyes instantly showed worry. The third brother's pulse was weak, and the whole person seemed empty inside.

After so many years at home, even with the best medicine, he didn't get any better.

An Yunhe waved his hands.

"Don't worry about me, I won't die."

At least, he won't die before he is sure that An Yunxi is safe.

An Yunxi frowned: "Don't mention life or death, you are still so young, far from that word."

An Yunhe chuckled.

"Xi'er, you are right."

Mrs. Du told An Yunxi, "Send your brother back to rest first, and I will ask the court doctor to prescribe medicine for your third brother."

"Okay."

An Yunxi helped An Yunhe back to the room, let him sit on the bed, and poured him a glass of water.

Seeing that his face eased a little after drinking it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are not in good health. If you have anything in the future, just arrange for the servants to go. Why do you go to send people in person?"

An Yunhe put the teacup aside.

"I am worried about other people doing things."

"It's not a big deal."

An Yunxi muttered softly.

An Yunhe smiled gently: "How can what Xier asked me to do be considered a trivial matter?"

An Yunxi felt warm in her heart. Her third brother was the most important relative to her since she was a child, and she didn't want him to have any accidents.

After her father's affairs were dealt with, she tried every means to find a miracle doctor to treat her third brother. She

had invited all the doctors in the palace for so many years, but unfortunately, they were all helpless against her third brother's illness. She couldn't imagine how her third brother survived alone after she died in the last life.

"Xi'er, this is for you."

An Yunhe seemed to have thought of something and took something out from under the pillow.

It was a small bag, bulging inside.

An Yunxi took it and opened it curiously: "What's in it?"

An Yunhe raised the corner of his lips: "My third brother is also a doctor who has been ill for a long time. He has nothing to do on weekdays, so he prepared some poisons and antidotes. Keep them for you to protect yourself."

The small bag contained various small bottles.

There were words on the bottles, densely packed, clearly stating the efficacy and category of each bottle.

An Yunxi counted the bottles. They were not big, but there were more than a dozen in the bag.

"Third brother, do you know medicine?"

An Yunhe chuckled and nodded: "I just learned a little bit."

An Yunxi's eyes lit up instantly.

"What about your own illness?"

An Yunhe shook his head: "I know my own body well. This is brought from my mother's womb. It cannot be cured by ordinary medicine. But don't worry, there will always be a way."

It's like in his previous life, he was the sickest, but he survived to the end.

He watched his relatives leave one by one, but he was powerless.

He didn't want that ending again

. The doctor in the palace carried the medicine box and hurried to the general's mansion to prescribe a medicine for An Yunhe to take care of his body. An Yunxi took care of the third brother and drank it.

Seeing the usually gentle and refined young man with a frown and a pale face, she couldn't help laughing.

"Third brother is still so afraid of hardship, I asked someone to prepare candied fruit for you in advance."

An Yunhe quickly took a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth.

Then he exhaled, as if he was alive again.

"Xier is still good to me."

An Yunxi curved his eyebrows, "You are my third brother, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

An Yunhe heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, he sat at the head of the bed and watched An Yunxi busying himself.

He remembered that the little girl, who was not yet very old at the time, took care of him by his bed for three days and three nights after he caught a cold and had a fever, and she would not leave even if the servants drove her away.

When going out, she would remind him to wear more clothes like an adult, and she would give him the heater she had just prepared, preferring to freeze outside.

Who wouldn't like such a sister?

Of course he liked her.

If Xier knew that they were not biological siblings and had no blood relationship, I wonder if she would still recognize her brother.

With a sudden impulse in his heart, An Yunhe opened his thin lips and said, "Xier, I want to tell you something."
