Chapter 208 - Is This the Meaning of Throwing It away When You Are Done Using It?
Teng Yu stood on top of the white jade steps outside the Emperor's Bedroom Hall, looking at the palace which had become much more deserted. He used to like this place, but now he hated it.
A unfamiliar eunuch ran out and bowed to him, “Third Prince, the Emperor invites you in.”
“What's your name? What about Steward Lai? “
The eunuch lowered his head and replied respectfully, “Lay…” In the Celestial Prison, this servant's name was Ren Fu, everyone called this servant Xiao Ren. “
“Swish.” Teng Yu seemed to have thought of something, as he shook his head and said, “It's not nice, you can call me little retard from now on.”
“Yes …” “Thank you for your name.”
Teng Yu followed behind him as they walked into the emperor's Bedroom Hall. After a period of time, this Bedroom Hall had become unfamiliar to him.
The palace maids and eunuchs were all unfamiliar faces, Teng Yu suspected that they were either dead or chased away, which was not a big deal, but the Emperor was afraid that no one would believe him now.
Inside the room, an unpleasant smell wafted into his nose. A few imperial physicians were standing obediently by the bed, while the emperor was leaning on the bed, looking at a set of Advice Letter s.
Seeing Teng Yu walk in, the emperor waved his hand towards him, “Jie Er is back. We have seen the things you sent us, we will do as you say.
Teng Yu stepped forward and asked worriedly, “Is Royal Father well? When I heard that you had a dragon's body, I was in a hurry to come back.
“No, you did well. As for the list of names you drew up, I've already given it to the Ministry of Government. It will be determined by their assessment. Return from your long journey and return to rest first.” the Emperor said politely.
Teng Yu lowered his eyes. He knew that this courtesy did not mean that the Emperor had accepted him, but meant that only this little superficial affection remained between them.
“Your son cannot rest at ease.”
“It's alright. The poison has been cured, but my body still needs some more time to recover. Tomorrow will be the day I go to court as usual. Because of my unwell condition, I've delayed quite a few matters these few months. I haven't even set the date of your marriage …” The emperor said a lot of things to himself. He had never experienced such a profound feeling that life was short and could end at any moment.
Teng Yu listened quietly, and only after he had finished did he emphasize another sentence: “Royal Father, this son will not get married, unless the target is Huo Tian.”
“You're still young. You'll know how childish your thoughts are in a few years. However, since you're unwilling, I won't force you. You can think it through later.” He was already tired of dealing with his three sons, so it didn't matter that he had a few more grandchildren.
However, they had no choice but to take precautions against the relationship between Third Bro and Huo Family.
Teng Yu secretly replied: It's likely that I won't be able to connect in this life.
“The Duke of Qin rebelled. Did you know about this?”
“I heard about it on my way here.”
“Yes, he brought thirty thousand men to the southwest. I have already ordered your second royal brother to go after them. When you are back, go take up your post in the Military Department and take care of the Vukus for me.”
Teng Yu's brows slightly furrowed, and said hesitantly: “This … “My second brother is also in the army, I don't know much about all this.”
The emperor probably caused a ruckus because he was afraid that Teng Ji had too much military power, which was why he was transferred over to pin down?
“If you don't understand, you can learn. When your second brother comes back and asks him to teach you, I plan to let him go to the Ministry of Industry and Engineering to gain some experience. His temper is too impatient, he should be tempered.”
Was he planning on throwing it away after using it? Teng Yu mourned for his second brother for a while and nodded in agreement.
The father and son talked for a long time until Imperial Physician Li brought the medicine over and said, “Your Majesty, it's time to use the medicine.” Teng Yu then retreated to the side.
Now that the emperor's medicine had been handed over to Imperial Physician Li, especially after Imperial Physician Li cured the poison from his body, he even brought the person to the position of being a doctor.
Only after seeing the emperor drink the medicine did Teng Yu leave. Before leaving, he exchanged glances with Imperial Physician Li.
This matter had progressed very smoothly, and Teng Yu was extremely satisfied. After walking out of the Bedroom Hall, he instructed Han Qing in a low voice, “Go and find out what Teng Yi and his Yun Family have done during this period of time.
Han Qing thought for a while, then reported: There's something I haven't told you.
“Hmm?” Teng Yu stopped and turned to look at him.
Han Qing braced himself and told him what he had been hiding, “The Consort Rong Empress was born last month. She was a prince, and because the emperor's body was not well, the palace did not have any major affairs.
Teng Yu was startled, “Oh, it's almost winter again, I'm afraid the northwest side is getting restless again.”
Teng Yu did not ask why Consort Rong was able to give birth to her son. The Emperor's feelings towards Imperial Consort Yun had lightened by a lot now and he was on her guard against her so it was normal for Imperial Consort Yun to not be able to find an opportunity to make a move.
He knew that Teng Yi had to go to the northwest region. It was a long journey, and it would be New Year by the time he came back.
This imperial city was getting colder and colder without a trace of emotion. It was not worth to be missed at all.
“Yes, Marshal Huo has also set out for the northwest, accompanied by Young Master Huo Family.”
Speaking of Huo Family, Teng Yu couldn't help but think of Huo Yidao, “Keep Huo Yidao under your watch, we cannot afford to lose our Huo Family for the time being.”
When the Emperor did not send his Huo Family to chase down the Duke of Qin, other than feeling that his ability was useless, he had also considered the situation in the Northwest. In some ways, his Royal Father was still a good emperor.
“This subordinate understands.”
Returning back to the Third Prince Mansion, Teng Yu immediately ran over to see Wang Ren standing straight in front of him. His wheat colored skin was glowing with a healthy red light, and his eyes were filled with joy and happiness.
“I've grown taller.” Teng Yu rubbed the top of his head, believing that in a few more years, this child would become an indomitable man.
Wang Ren's face became even redder as he laughed shyly and looked behind Teng Yu, “Is Master not back yet?”
“Him …” I stole your seat. “
Wang Ren did not understand, but he did not ask about it. He followed Teng Yu and entered the door, telling him about the results of his training during this period of time.
After becoming Yin Xu's disciple, Yin Xu also did not teach him Devilish Exercise, because his physique was not the best, and it could not achieve the effect of double the result with half the work.
In any case, he remembered thousands and thousands of cultivation techniques, and there was no lack of secret manuals on the correct path amongst them. He could always find a suitable one for him.
During this period of time, Wang Ren only carried his back technique, and other than meditating and breathing, he also practiced his martial arts every day. His body was getting better every day, and it no longer looked as black and thin as before.
Wang Ren already had a certain status in the manor. Since the two main figures were not at home, almost no one would disobey him. Of course, this was also related to Han Sen spoiling him.
Han Sen probably thought that it was impossible for Teng Yu to have his own child in this lifetime, so he was especially concerned about Wang Ren and treated him like a little mistress.
The servants were all the same, Wang Ren was truly cute, and didn't have a bad temper. As a result, this brat's days were like fish in water.
Wang Ren took the initiative to help Teng Yu bathe and change his clothes, and even poured tea for him. Every action of hers was done extremely naturally, comparable to that of a professional attendant.
Teng Yu didn't expect that after not seeing him for two months, he still had the ability to do this. Moreover, it had clearly improved compared to before.
“You don't need to do these things in the future. Don't forget your status.”
Wang Ren bit his lips and whispered, “I like it.”
Teng Yu shrugged his shoulders, “Then it's up to you. Your master will definitely be very happy to see you. Perhaps, in Yin Xu's eyes, there was not much difference between a disciple and his close attendant.
The only difference was that attendant did not need to teach him martial arts.
Teng Yu rested for a while using his food. When he woke up, the sky was already dark, and there was one less person by his side.
“Someone, come.”
Han Sen pushed open the door and entered, hot water and a handkerchief in his hands as he served the Duke of Qin. He said: “Your Highness, there's news that Second Prince has caught up to the Duke of Qin's army.”
“Oh? Have they started fighting? “
“No, although Second Prince brought a lot of people, the Duke of Qin had obviously planned this beforehand. He set up many traps along the way, so the two sides did not meet face to face.”
“Mm, then act according to the plan and let my good second brother suffer a bit.” The only thing that was worthy of praise in the Second Prince was his ability to lead troops into war, because of this, he had a good reputation in the army, but what Teng Yu wanted to do was to shatter this little reputation.
The battle for the throne had always been one where one could not be lenient, it was either you or me.
Teng Yu set this goal when he was ten, and he could use any means possible for this.
