Chapter 387 The Secret of the Yu Family
Jiang Chen brought Gongsun Liang and arrived at the bedroom where Yu Anmin was with ease.
The Northern Border soldiers guarding outside the bedroom saw Jiang Chen coming.
He quickly stood up straight and clenched his right fist across his chest.
He saluted Jiang Chen and shouted respectfully.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Looking at the spirited soldiers, Jiang Chen smiled, nodded and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please open the door. I want to go in."
"Yes, my lord."
After bowing and accepting the order, several soldiers from the Northern Territory hurried forward.
He opened the palace door for Jiang Chen and let him walk in.
After Jiang Chen strode into the bedroom, he saw Yu Anmin being helped up by the imperial physician.
As Jiang Chen just walked into the bedroom, Yu Anmin happened to see Jiang Chen walking towards him.
Looking at Jiang Chen's figure, Yu Anmin already understood.
When he just woke up, he learned from the imperial physician that the capital had fallen under the rule of Jiang Chen.
After learning the news, Yu Anmin simply sighed.
He accepted the reality calmly, except for the death of his brother.
This made Yu Anmin feel a sense of desolation in his heart.
For Yu Anmin, he had been living among the people for the first half of his life.
He had finally passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, got married and had a son.
But in the end, all of this was destroyed by a group of robbers.
Yu Anmin became a lonely man again until he was found by Prince Huaian and Jiang Chen.
Originally, Yu Anmin thought that this time he could finally spend his life with his family by his side.
But now, at the end, I am still left alone.
Yu Anmin felt that feeling of loneliness again, and this feeling made him feel desperate.
Looking at Yu Anmin, whose expression was somewhat gloomy, Jiang Chen said slowly.
"Yu Anmin, I heard that you woke up, so I came to see you."
"Then I would like to thank Lord Dingbei for his concern."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Yu Anmin smiled and nodded to Jiang Chen.
However, after Yu Anmin finished saying this, he seemed to realize something.
"Haha, I almost forgot that I am no longer the emperor."
"It seems that from now on, I have to use the ordinary self-proclaimed name again."
As he spoke, Yu Anmin smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Looking at Yu Anmin's calm expression, it seemed that he had gradually accepted this reality.
Seeing Yu Anmin's indifferent expression, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen asked Yu Anmin.
"Yu Anmin, how do you think I will deal with you?"
Yu Anmin, who originally had a calm expression, became calm after hearing Jiang Chen's question.
He froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to answer Jiang Chen's question.
Looking at the dazed Yu Anmin, Jiang Chen raised a very intriguing smile.
After a while, Yu Anmin came back to his senses and spoke to Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, tell me the truth, even if I am soft-hearted."
"But if I were you, I would choose to get rid of me without hesitation."
After giving Jiang Chen his answer, Yu Anmin closed his eyes and said no more.
After hearing Yu Anmin's answer, Jiang Chen shook his head and said softly.
"Maybe killing you is a good option."
"But keeping you is more valuable to me than killing you."
Having said that, Jiang Chen nodded to Gongsun Liang beside him.
Then, he turned around and continued speaking to Yu Anmin.
"Of course, I have a gift for you."
When Yu Anmin heard that Jiang Chen had a gift for him, he became even more confused.
He really couldn't think of what gift Jiang Chen could give him.
Just when Yu Anmin was full of doubts.
Gongsun Liang, who had returned, walked in with a young man who was very familiar to Yu Anmin.
Looking at the young man, Yu Anmin covered his mouth in disbelief.
The young man brought in by Gongsun Liang was none other than him.
It is the current Prince An—Yu Shuo!
When Yu Shuo saw his uncle, he immediately knelt on the ground.
He burst into tears with tears streaming down his face.
"Nephew Yu Shuo greets the Emperor's uncle!"
"Uncle, my nephew is incompetent and failed to defend the western border of Xia Kingdom."
Yu Shuo cried bitterly and apologized to Yu Anmin.
Looking at his only surviving nephew, Yu Anmin was filled with mixed emotions.
Yu Anmin's eyes gradually became moist, and he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Yu Shuo's head.
But when his hand was about to touch Yu Shuo's head, Yu Anmin seemed to have thought of something.
He suddenly withdrew his hand and tried hard to hold back the tears in his heart.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen looked at Yu Anmin with some confusion .
But facing Jiang Chen's gaze, Yu Anmin just used his eyes to signal him not to care.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn't say anything else. He turned around and took Gongsun Liang out of the bedroom.
Looking at the backs of Gongsun Liang and Jiang Chen as they walked out, Yu Anmin said to the imperial physician beside him.
" You should step back first. I want to talk to Yu Shuo."
After hearing Yu Anmin's words, the imperial physician turned around and walked out tactfully.
After the imperial physician left, only Yu Anmin and his nephew Yu Shuo were left in the bedroom.
Seeing that Yu Shuo was still crying, Yu Anmin scolded him sternly.
"Okay, stop crying. If only all the sons of my Yu family were like you."
"Then your uncle the King of Huai'an, uncle the King of Jin, and your father, I'm afraid, have already become useless."
"Now there are only you and me, uncle and nephew, left in my Yu family, so it's time to tell you some things."
As Yu Anmin spoke, he reached into the secret compartment under his dragon bed.
He slowly took out a wooden box and handed it to Yu Shuo.
"Yu Shuo, you know how my Yu family was able to rise from a mere gentry to the throne."
"What is the biggest support you rely on?"
Yu Anmin asked Yu Shuo softly.
Yu Shuo had already memorized the history of the Yu family's rise.
After a little thought, Yu Shuo answered tentatively.
"Uncle, I know that the Yu family's ancestors relied on their unwillingness to admit defeat!"
After hearing Yu Shuo's answer, Yu Anmin shook his head helplessly.
Then, under Yu Shuo's puzzled gaze, he slowly spoke.
"The reason why my Yu family was able to rise from a group of wealthy gentry to eventually establish the Xia Kingdom."
"It's not what you rely on, but what's in this box."
After saying that, Yu Anmin signaled Yu Shuo to open the wooden box and take a look.
Following Yu Anmin's instructions, Yu Shuo opened the wooden box with doubts.
As the wooden box was opened, an antique black metal token lay inside.
