Chapter 301: Emperor Yong’an’s Sudden Visit
The two soldiers looked at An Yi for a moment. One of them then calmly said, "Master is not at the mansion at this moment. Please come back later."
Hearing this, Emperor Yong’an’s eyes lit up. He approached the soldier who had just spoken and asked, "Brother, is A Quan’s fiancée at home?"
When the soldiers heard him address Xuan Ruiquan so intimately, they knew that the young and handsome man in front of them was the current ruling emperor of the Xia Empire.
However, their expressions remained the same, and one of them said, "Your Majesty, please go back. Master said we are not receiving any guests now."
An Yi was angry and wanted to scold the soldiers, but Emperor Yong’an raised his hand to stop him. An Yi felt indignant and said, "Master, they are rude to you. You can’t let them go without punishment."
Emperor Yong’an smiled and said calmly, "These two brothers are not my subordinates. It is normal and understandable for them to obey A Quan’s orders since he is their Master. Although Zhen is the emperor, every citizen of our Xia Empire has their freedom and own will. There is no need to force them to respect me because of my identity, and Zhen doesn’t need false respect or sugar-coated words."
After saying that, Emperor Yong’an turned to look at the two soldiers and asked, "When will A Quan come back?"
One soldier shook his head and said, "We never ask about Master’s plans or whereabouts."
After hearing this, Emperor Yong’an sighed and said, "Fine. Then Zhen will go to the teahouse and wait for him to come back."
