Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 246 - You Are a Tiger with a Tooth for a Bite?

At Lanxin Hall, the First Prince, Teng Yi, was anxiously walking in from the inner room. The Imperial Consort Yun was dressing herself in the mirror, her expression calm, as if she could not see the First Prince's impatience.

“Royal Mother, the news has already spread, are you not anxious?” The First Prince stood behind Imperial Consort Yun, a ruthless look on his face.

“What's the use of rushing? What is to come will always come. “

“Then we can't just sit there and wait for death. Who is that woman? The Royal Father actually wanted to make her their leader! He remembers the promise he made to us both. “

Imperial Consort Yun looked in the mirror and sneered, she got up and patted his son's shoulder, “My son, don't be naive, you are a man, don't you know that in the eyes of Royal Father, us mother and son are only his threats?”

As for his promise to the sea, hehe, those would all change. Imperial Consort Yun only wished that she had taken care of that woman back then.

But she also knew clearly that without the Consort Rong, there would still be Zhang Feifei. Without the Emperor's care, any woman could climb onto her head.

The First Prince clenched his fists and asked hesitantly, “The matter that Uncle arranged …?”

Imperial Consort Yun waved her hand, “Don't mention that. Right now, your Royal Father is like an iron wall, you won't have the chance to do anything.”

She also regretted not taking advantage of when the Emperor still trusted them, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. Imperial Consort Yun knew this the best.

“Oh right, what did Ol ‘Three do?”

The First Prince sat to the side, curling his lips. “No, the person monitoring Old Third said he was in a very intimate relationship with Huo Qi and didn't even leave the room.”

Imperial Consort Yun tapped his forehead, “You are still too young. Ol ‘Three has been enduring for so many years, how could it be possible for other women to sit on the empress's throne? and even allowed that slut's son to sit in the position of crown prince? “

“Then what can he do?” From the start, the First Prince had never placed much importance on his third brother. Even if he had to do something in the past two years, it was not very prominent in his eyes.

“Don't forget, he still has Huo Tian by his side, even the Duke of Qin has lost to him. With his help, Ol ‘Three is like a tiger adding wings.”

The First Prince's eyes flashed across the face that was similar to someone, his palms were drenched in sweat: “Then should we get rid of Huo Tian first?”

Imperial Consort Yun glared at him, “Your thoughts are good, but what are you going to use to deal with him? He was able to pass through a city alone, and you still want to make enemies with Huo Family? “

A single Huo Qi was already so terrifying. If he really had enmity with Huo Family, how would the mother and son even have a chance of victory?

Although Huo Family did not participate in the battle for the throne, as long as they moved in the dark, it would affect the overall situation.

It was not that Imperial Consort Yun had never tried to rope in Huo Family before, but she had intentionally befriended the Mrs. Huo and even allowed her son to get close to Huo Yiloong.

The First Prince found it hard to believe. “The only thing he has to fear is spell formations. No matter how strong his martial arts is, it would still be difficult for him to fight against four people with two fists.”

“No, if you want to get rid of this hidden danger, it's best to start from Huo Family. Imperial Consort Yun whispered a few sentences into the First Prince's ears.

When the First Prince heard this, he was moved, and an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.

The Imperial Consort Yun sighed, “Comparing strength with Huo Family is asking for humiliation, we can only take it with our own eyes.”

The First Prince lowered his eyes. “Don't worry Royal Mother. I will make the arrangements. But, the Consort Rong …”

Your Royal Father might not really like that child, it's just that he thinks that he is not a threat. Without that child, there would be a next time, I have already written a letter to your uncle, we can talk about it after he returns.

The First Prince did not have a good impression of this uncle of his. However, with the help of the Yun Family, the two of them could relax quite a bit.

“Will the Royal Father allow him to come?”

“Next month is the Royal Mother's birthday. I will go beg your Royal Father.” After so many years of being husband and wife, the Imperial Consort Yun had already thoroughly studied the Emperor's personality.

The First Prince walked out of the palace and looked back at the majestic palace. After a long time, he got on his horse and said, “To Marshal Huo Palace.”

Huo Zhengquan and Huo Yiming were still in the northwest region and had not returned yet. The one in charge of the residence was Huo Yidao, while the Inner Academy was still under the control of the Mrs. Huo.

When the First Prince sat inside the Huo Family, he realized that he hadn't seen Huo Yiloong for a long time. He was extremely busy, so he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to meet anyone.

Huo Family's butler rushed over, “First Prince, please forgive us. Fifth Young Master is currently in closed door cultivation and is unable to receive guests.”

“Seclusion?” The First Prince was unfamiliar with this word, but when he thought about the situation with Huo Family, he could understand why Huo Yiloong fought so hard.

“When will you be coming out?”

“That may not be true. Before leaving, the Marshal told Fifth Young Master to remain in seclusion if he failed to achieve a breakthrough.”

The housekeeper frowned. It was strange, the fifth young master's talent was considered superior to the other young masters, but it hadn't improved at all in the past two years. At the beginning of the term, they thought it was because the fifth young master didn't work hard, but after practicing diligently for a while, there was still no improvement.

“Do you know when the marshal will return?” The First Prince asked casually.

“This servant doesn't know. The marshal's whereabouts are never revealed to the public.”

The First Prince did not hold much hope and nodded, “Then please inform Mrs. Huo that I have not seen her for a long time and have missed her. If she is free, she can come to the palace to talk to Royal Mother.”

“This servant will tell Madam.”

The First Prince walked out of the Huo Family with a tinge of regret, and bumped into Huo Yidao at the main entrance. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then revealed a fitting smile at the corner of their mouths.

“I didn't know that the First Prince would show up. This humble subject has been too slow.”

“Master Huo is too serious, I have only not seen Yiloong for a long time and have come to visit him.”

“That's unfortunate. Fifth brother has gone into seclusion. He probably won't be coming out for a while.”

“I've already heard about it. I can only wait for him to come out before gathering.” The First Prince responded to his words and was about to leave when he heard the other party ask, “Is there something that His Highness wishes to discuss with fifth brother?”

Just as the First Prince was about to shake his head, he suddenly had a thought and sized up Huo Yidao once again.

Huo Yidao was an oddity to Huo Family, and his entire Huo Family only followed his orders. Although his path of business was smooth, he did not rise to the top because of his Huo Family, in the view of the First Prince, this was a very failure.

However, the number of Huo Family he could access was limited. The First Prince asked gently, “If Lord Huo is free, why don't we have a cup of tea together?”

Huo Yidao seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded, “Since Your Highness has invited me, it's naturally good.”

The two of them left Huo Family and found a relatively quiet teahouse. After clearing the area, they sat down in a private room.

The First Prince did not have any plans to use Huo Yidao for the time being, so he and only talked about the matters of the past and present.

Both of them were learned people, so their conversation was quite harmonious. However, neither of them expressed their thoughts.

By the time they separated, the two of them had already been close friends for many years. If it wasn't for the First Prince's status, they would probably be considered brothers.

The First Prince was indeed a little surprised. He had never interacted with Huo Yidao before, but he did not expect that was not as mediocre as he thought he was.

The reason why Huo Yidao had invited him today was to see if the First Prince would meet his requirements.

Since the Second Prince was already dead, his relationship with Huo Qi was special. If he were to ascend to the throne, his Huo Family would definitely be Huo Qi's.

Unfortunately, he was still too young, so it was hard to say if he could grow up safely. Even if he managed to grow up safely, it was hard to say if he could ascend to the throne.

That was why he set his sights on the First Prince. At the very least, there was an irreconcilable conflict between him and Teng Yu, which was beneficial to him.

“Speaking of which, my seventh brother did …” Father can't do anything about him, he has been a foreign minister since he was young, and is used to it when he is free. He also has some real ability, Third Prince's move was really great. “

The First Prince's eyebrows twitched, “Could it be that the Huo Family does not plan to interfere? Marshal Huo didn't seem to reject the previous marriage bestowed by the imperial edict. “

“But you didn't agree, right?” Huo Yidao sighed, “If the person concerned does not agree, this matter can only be delayed. Luckily, Inferior Prime Minister was not willing to marry into Huo Family, and in the end, could only leave it at that.”

“I heard that Third Brother once asked Royal Father to grant me a marriage. Fortunately, Royal Father did not go along with his request, otherwise, he would become a huge joke.”

“Yeah, the reputation of Huo Family has been accumulated through generations of hard work. I really don't want to ruin it by the hands of an unfilial child.”

“Then you can advise Marshal Huo, for such an unfilial son to appear in the family, it would not be good to be too indulgent.”

“That's exactly what I wanted to do, but Father felt that he owed Seventh Brother so much. I'm afraid he wouldn't listen to me.”

“As an elder brother, Lord Huo can also do it for me.”

The two of them smiled at each other and came to a tacit understanding.

The First Prince had achieved his objective and felt that his trip today had not been in vain. “Let's end it here for today. We'll meet again when we're free.”

Huo Yidao saw him to the door, and watched him get on the carriage before he returned to the teahouse.

The owner of the teahouse walked over quietly and asked in a low voice, “Mistress, quite a few people approached this place just now.”

“It's alright. The First Prince's whereabouts were already under the notice of everyone. I'm afraid that everyone who should know of him should know about him by now. It's just a simple meeting, and nothing will happen to him.”

“I already have an idea of what you told me to do last time.”

Huo Yidao thought for a bit, then shook his head and said, “There's no need to continue with that matter. Right now, no one cares about whether Huo Tian's identity is real or fake, his personal strength is enough to shock everyone, and the emperor won't punish him just because he doesn't have the Huo surname.”

“But at least we can let him leave the Huo Family, otherwise, with his relationship with the Third Prince, in the future, when he fights for the position of Patriarch, it would be very easy for the Seventh Young Master to win.”

Huo Yidao shot him a glance, and said indifferently: “Do you think with his current value, father will kick him out of the family?”

“Don't even mention the evidence, even if he's fake, he can still turn out to be real.”

“This …”

“Rather than wasting time on his identity, it would be better to think of a way to distance himself from the relationship between him and the Third Prince. If these two can go against each other, then that would be even better.”

“I'm afraid it will be difficult.” Everyone in the entire capital knew how firm the Third Prince's feelings were towards the Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters.

“If it were me, it would not be so easy for me to spit out the fat in my mouth. However, isn't this something that we should worry about? Isn't the First Prince thinking of a way to deal with it?”

“Do you really want to cooperate with the First Prince?”

“Winning together for mutual benefit is not about cooperation. If you really want to cooperate, then the first one who won't let me go will be the one at the palace.” Huo Yidao did not dare to do something that could only be done on two boat.

“Then how will you help him?”

“That's not what I'm trying to help you with.” Huo Yidao smiled enigmatically, but did not explain.

After Teng Yu received the news, he fell silent for a long time. If he did not know Huo Yidao's personality, he would have thought that it was just the First Prince trying to rope in his Huo Family.

It wasn't his fault that he always thought about scheming. In reality, the chances of the two of them only drinking tea and chatting together were too low.

“Can't find out what they're talking about?” Yin Xu carried a fruit plate and stuffed Yang Mei into his mouth.

It was said to have come from the south at top speed, and was kept in an ice cube in a small town, eating it to quench thirst, and eating it with a sweet and sour taste.

Teng Yu shook his head, “That teahouse belongs to Huo Yidao, with their caution, they wouldn't even be able to fly flies in.”

He took a fruit from Yin Xu's mouth and juice flowed down the two people's mouths, wetting their collars.

“Are you trying to steal food from the tiger?” Yin Xu squinted at him.

Teng Yu licked the juice from the corner of his mouth with his tongue, “I don't dare to.

“Can you concentrate on the important matters?” He finally managed to not be lazy, but his brain was interrupted just like that.

“Don't even think about it. What good thing could the two of them get together be? It must be against us. Just be careful and deal with it.”

Hearing that it was directed at them, Yin Xu frowned, “Truly troublesome, how nice would it be to solve it in one slash!”
