Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 228 - What Were You Doing When You Were Eleven

Because of the two masters' return, the Third Prince Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement. Han Sen had received the news in advance that the Scenic Garden had been cleaned well, and the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were especially neatly trimmed.

“Seventh Young Master, why haven't we seen Wang Ren?” Han Sen asked Yin Xu when he didn't see him.

“I left him in the mountains. I told him to supervise the supervisors in the mountains and learn something.”

The corner of Han Sen's mouth twitched, and he could not help but remind Yun Che: “Young Master, Wang Ren is still young.”

“You're eleven years old after the new year, are you still young? This young master is only fifteen years old. ” Yin Xu had completely forgotten that he was a thousand-year-old monster.

“What were you doing when you were eleven?” Han Sen thought: Don't think that this old servant doesn't know, at that time, Yin Xu was still a fatty who hates people.

Yin Xu tried his best to think back. How old was he, how many years ago, when he was kidnapped by the Old Devil as a cauldron? He had forgotten what it was like to be eleven.

“Don't worry, Qingsheng is also on the mountain. The two of them will take care of each other.”

Han Sen sighed, “The relationship between the two brothers isn't deep, how can Young Master look after others?” That young master, on the other hand, was acting like a child, being even more ignorant than Wang Ren.

Yin Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the stall: “Since you care about that brat so much, why don't you go up the mountain to accompany him?”

Han Sen was startled, then bowed and said: “Seventh Young Master must be joking, this old servant is the housekeeper for Third Prince Mansion.”

“It's good that you know. Just do your job.” Yin Xu did not hate the old man, it was just that the old man did not truly like him, it was better to treat him as well.

Of course, he wasn't jealous of Wang Ren, but the people's hearts were just playing around in such a strange way.

Just as Teng Yu finished showering and changed into a new set of clothes, the palace eunuchs came knocking on his door and passed on the emperor's decree for him to enter the palace.

The sky had just turned dark, and Teng Yu didn't even have time to eat dinner before he entered the palace.

The inside of the palace was still brightly lit, but the unusual quietness made Teng Yu uncomfortable. It seemed more like a cold and exquisite cage where some people would risk their lives to come in, while others would never be able to come out.

Tonight's imperial meal was placed in the outer hall of the Emperor's Bedroom Hall, and the long table was filled to the brim with food. When Teng Yu went in, the last piece of soup had also been served.

“Royal Father, are you alright?” Teng Yu spontaneously walked over and scooped up a bowl of soup for the emperor, placing it in front of him.

The eunuch at the side took the needle and tested the poison. There were no questions asked before he could place it in front of the emperor.

“All of you have grown up, and Royal Father is also old. How can his health be good?” The emperor did not touch the bowl of soup, he pointed to the seat opposite of him and told Teng Yu to sit.

Teng Yu was not courteous, this seat was the furthest from the emperor. He still remembered that whenever he went to the palace to stay for dinner, he would sit at the place closest to the emperor.

“The Royal Father is in the prime of its spring and autumn, where is the age? If you don't like the food in this palace, this son will go out and find you a few chefs.

“No need, eating three meals a day is the same no matter what. Right now, Royal Father only wants to have some rest and not care about the taste.”

His words were overdone, looking at the table full of delicacies, the corner of Teng Yu's mouth curved into a smile.

He knew that the Emperor's misgivings had increased again, and it was inevitable that anyone who had experienced such a betrayal would be suspicious of everything.

At this point in time, there was poison that the silver needles could not test out, and there was also poison that had a chronic effect. Even if the emperor tried it before he moved his chopsticks, he would still be worried.

Teng Yu accompanied him to eat a few mouthfuls, not saying a word while eating. However, a short dinner made him feel like it was exceptionally long.

After the two of them put down their chopsticks, the dishes on the table were taken away before they could even eat a few mouthfuls.

The emperor rinsed his mouth as he brought Teng Yu into the small study, “Where have you been all this time? “Why is there no one around?”

Teng Yu still said what he did when he was out sightseeing. Even if this was obviously a fake, he still wouldn't feel the slightest bit awkward.

The Emperor didn't express anything after he heard this. Most likely, his goal wasn't here either.

The two of them were silent for a while, then the emperor said, “We have recently found some clever young men. Bring them back to Huo Tian and have him wholeheartedly teach them formations.

Teng Yu grinned as he responded, “If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first.”

“What, now you don't even have the patience to accompany Royal Father for a while?” The emperor was enraged when he said this, he slapped the table and told Teng Yu to scram.

Teng Yu laughed and said indifferently: “What happened to Royal Father? It is already late, if you do not leave the palace now, you will be locked up. “

“Then we'll stay in the palace for the night. It's not like we have nowhere to stay.”

“It's been too long. I'm not used to it.” Teng Yu thought: This palace is as cold as a tomb, who wants to live here?

The emperor thought of those carefully chosen youths and decided to not keep him. He asked for the last time, “Have you heard about Old Second?”

“Yes.”

“What do you think we should do?”

Teng Yu hesitated for a while, but still answered determinedly: “Naturally, we should send our troops to annihilate them!”

“Send who?” The emperor's voice gradually became stern. This matter had already been discussed many times in the imperial court, but everyone had suggested that the Marshal Huo lead his troops to encircle and annihilate them.

However, the emperor knew that at this time, Huo Zhengquan would rather reject the decree than go. Rather than giving him the chance to slap his face, he did not even mention about it.

The Emperor harrumphed coldly in his heart. See, the Emperor being able to do such a thing was truly pitiable.

The brothers rebelled, and their sons followed closely behind. The remaining two sons had their own thoughts, and only the one who still didn't understand could give them a chance to rest.

“With so many civil and military officials in the imperial court, we can at least find a suitable general. Furthermore, not all of the fifty thousand soldiers and horses that second brother took away were willing to be loyal to him. Royal Father can find someone to persuade him.”

“Royal Father has also thought of this, it's just that they have been working hard to find a candidate.”

Teng Yu raised his eyelids, and lightly glanced at him, “This son thinks that royal brother is very suitable, brother is like a father, whether it is status or courage, royal brother is the best choice.”

The emperor lowered his head and gently stroked the jade thumb ring. After a long time, he said, “Your royal brother has just returned from the northwest and is very tired. I shall not bother him anymore.”

Teng Yu had already guessed that this would happen, so he agreed and did not speak anymore.

However, the Emperor did not plan on letting him go. He asked, “What do you think of Huo Tian?”

“…” Teng Yu lifted his head, his pair of sword-like eyebrows raising up high, “This son naturally isn't willing. New Year's Eve, this son isn't willing for him to leave home and travel far away.”

The Emperor said that Teng Yi had just returned from the Northwest and was very tired. Did he forget that they had just returned from the outside as well?

The emperor didn't seem to feel that his words were contradictory. He only replied with four words, “State matters are of utmost importance!”

Teng Yu knew that he had not made this decision just now. It was impossible for him to change his mind.

“No way!” “Your relationship with my second brother isn't on good terms, it won't be of any use even if you go. Moreover, Royal Father wants you to be this year's Patriarch.”

“Royal Father, this move is inappropriate, how can this son have the ability to take charge of such an important matter?” The emperor's move was quite good. With the news of the Ancestor, he originally planned to keep a low profile and recuperate.

Second Brother's matter had yet to be settled. Southwest had already become the Duke of Qin's world. If it weren't for the fact that he was righteous and proper, the Duke of Qin would most likely have already become the Duke of Qin himself.

The Emperor was a man who could not tolerate the sand in his eyes. How could he watch the world he ruled be divided up by the traitors?

Moreover, the Chief even had a son of his here. Presumably, he wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly, right?

“You are already twenty years old, and are already an adult. As the legitimate son, you will definitely have to go through something like this in the future. You should just practice first.”

If Teng Yu had not known of his character, he would have been excited by these words. But now, what he had was just an endless conspiracy theory.

Teng Yu knew that his rebuttal was ineffective, he could only accept it, “Yes, thank you Royal Father for your love.”

Walking out of the palace, Teng Yu felt that the winter was even colder. He wrapped his coat tightly around him, mounted the horse that was waiting outside the gate, and returned to the Third Prince Mansion.

The liveliness in the courtyard had already passed. Han Sen came over to say that Yin Xu had already gone to bed, then he turned around to go to the outer courtyard's study room to settle some matters.

No matter how good the plan was, it would change according to the situation. He had originally planned to look for other things after the matter between the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince was settled.

“The emperor's orders will be sent out tomorrow. Han Qing, you go, pick out two hundred elites from the palace guards and another hundred experts from the Dark Guard. Let Huo Tian take these people away, you go too.”

“Your Highness …” Han Qing rarely left Teng Yu's side. In his opinion, no one's life was as important as his master's.

This matter appeared to be extremely dangerous for the Seventh Young Master Huo, but the truth was that the Third Prince left in the capital would face an even greater crisis.

“This is an order!” Teng Yu became serious.

Han Qing lowered his head and replied seriously: “Yes.”
