Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 249 - The Ingrate Is Not Well Bred

Yun Heran brought his heavily injured son into the palace and directly requested to see the emperor. He had entered the palace in the name of apologizing for his wrongdoings, but he did not complain when he saw the emperor.

The emperor listened expressionlessly, and only after he was done listening did he speak in an amiable tone, “Dear Cloud, there's no need to worry about such a small matter. It's unavoidable for youngsters to be impulsive.

Yun Heran understood what the emperor meant. This meant that he was wasting each other's time, the emperor did not care about the small matters like the two young people fighting.

“His Majesty was wise, this official was unable to produce a good son, causing him to make mistakes again and again. This time, the one who collided with him was even a good nephew from Rong Family, this official originally wanted to take him to apologize to the Consort Rong's Empress, but it didn't make sense, so he brought the person in front of His Majesty and allowed his majesty to punish him.”

“I will pass on this matter to Consort Rong. I believe Rong Family will understand this matter due to the profound righteousness of the Yun Emperor. Bring your son back to treat his wounds first. We will talk about it after he recovers from his injuries.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he even sent someone to ask for the doctor of the Grand Hospital to let him follow Yun Heran back.

Not only that, he even bestowed a large number of medicinal herbs on the two clans' residences to express his concern.

After Yun Heran was dismissed, the Emperor ordered his men to investigate the matter thoroughly. “We would like to see what he wants to tell us.”

He didn't believe that Yun Heran would come to the palace and beg for forgiveness for his crimes. Yun Heran's words and other words were filled with his son's capriciousness, which was why he made such a mistake, but the meaning that he wanted to express was far more than that.

There were many eyewitnesses at that time, so the emperor quickly received a reply. The guard told him everything that had happened at that time, and naturally included what the young master of the Rong Family had said.

The emperor sneered after hearing this, “So that's how it is …” This Rong Family is really stupid enough to let a fool like you walk around everywhere. “

The guards lowered their heads as low as possible, waiting for the emperor's orders.

“Rong Family is weak, this is good too, it's safer than raising a tiger by your side … However, if you say something wrong, you will still need to be taught a lesson. Go to the Rong Family and pass on our intentions;

“Yes.”

The emperor leaned against the dragon throne and rubbed the center of his brows in exhaustion. He could feel that his body wasn't as strong as it was before. The imperial physician had already said that the medicine had injured his very core.

When he thought of this, the emperor's eyes became sharp. Back then, he shouldn't have left the Duke of Qin as his source of disaster. Cutting the grass without removing the roots was indeed a taboo.

“Someone, bring the Duke of Qin here.”

Outside the door, an imperial bodyguard immediately came to receive them. It wasn't long before the Duke of Qin was carried in by two imperial bodyguards.

The only reason he had been lifted was because the Duke of Qin's four limbs had been crippled and all the tendons in his arms and legs severed. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor still needed him to speak, his tongue might have disappeared as well.

The Duke of Qin was battered and exhausted, and his clothes had not been changed for a long time. Sweat mixed with blood had already congealed, and he was emitting a rotten smell.

However, his expression remained calm. When he saw the Emperor, he could still smile and say, “Imperial Brother, forgive me for being unable to perform such a courtesy.”

The Emperor stood up from the Dragon Throne and walked to his side. He looked down at his younger brother, who had grown up under his nose. “I've treated you well.”

“That's right. I am deeply honored, but no matter how good my enemy is to me, he will never be able to forget the hatred in my heart. What does royal brother think?”

When the Duke of Qin turned fifteen, the emperor bestowed him the title of king. Not many years later, the emperor gave him control of the clan's estate, so he could be described as being benevolent to the Duke of Qin. But aside from these, the emperor was still his sworn enemy.

The emperor gave him a deep look. He should have known earlier that ingrate was not a person he was familiar with. One or two of them were as such.

“I don't want to say any more. Like I said, as long as you tell me where those things were hidden, I can make sure that you and your son will die a better death.”

“Hehe …” Since it's death anyway, what's the difference between being good-looking and being ugly? “

“Is that so?” The emperor bent down and maliciously met his eyes. “Then from now on, as long as you don't say anything, I will kill a child of yours, Ling Chi!”

The Duke of Qin's gaze flickered as he hurriedly lowered his head. “How do you know this subject or disciple knows where those items are?”

“Even though you were young back then, you are siblings. If he doesn't tell you, who else can he tell you?”

“You said it yourself. At that time, my younger brother was young and didn't understand anything. In the end, he was able to watch my older brother die. How could he hand such an important thing over to a child?”

There is no need to quibble. All these years, you have concealed your strength and secretly cultivated your own forces. If you do not have a few useful people to assist you, it would be difficult for you to create a climate.

“Royal brother underestimates his younger brother.”

“I don't have time to waste words with you. Whether or not I say it depends on you. The world is peaceful now, and the treasury is plentiful. Even if I can't find those things, it doesn't matter.

When the emperor finished speaking, he paid no more attention to him and had someone carry him away. Not only that, they even brought the young son of the Duke of Qin right in front of him.

The expression in Qin Wang's eyes changed. He knew that the Emperor wanted him to see the scene of his son being flunked in front of him.

He closed his eyes and feebly said, “Go and invite His Majesty over.”

The Emperor did not appear, but sent his trusted aides to ask for the answer.

Back then, the one fighting for the throne was the Qin Wang's brother, who wanted money and people. He thought he would be the final victor, but who would have thought that he would end up in the hands of the emperor.

In the final battle, the Duke of Qin's royal brother had sent a group of treasures out to prepare for his descendants to rise again. Very few people knew of this secret, and at that time, he had only told two of his trusted aides.

After the extermination of the line of royal brothers, the two of them went to the Duke of Qin. However, one of them went missing during a mission. Presumably, he had fallen into the hands of the Emperor.

The reason he dared to make a deal with Yin Xu back then was also because he still had this trump card in his hands. As long as his son could live, it wasn't as if he wouldn't have the chance to take revenge in the future.

The Duke of Qin didn't have a deep obsession with the throne, but he was obsessed with revenge.

However, he would probably not be able to take revenge for this grudge. He did not know if he would have the face to see his elder brother and Royal Mother after entering the underworld.

The Duke of Qin and his son died suddenly that night. The emperor didn't send anyone to verify the answer, as if he really didn't care.

When Teng Yu received the news, he had already gone to sleep, the death of Qin Wang did not shock him much, probably in his eyes, the Qin Wang was already dead.

“Looks like the Emperor obtained what he wanted.” Yin Xu lied on top of Teng Yu's chest, and asked while prodding his chest: “Do you know what it is?”

Teng Yu held his hand and kissed it, “I don't know, but since the Duke of Qin is willing to say it, it probably isn't that important.”

He still understood his royal uncle better. Since he was able to persevere for so many years, it could be seen how deep his hatred for him was. He definitely wouldn't give in so easily just because he was threatened.

Yin Xu yawned, “If it's not important, then let's sleep. After all, we got enough benefits from the Duke of Qin, let's just treat the remaining as a gift to the Emperor.”

The two of them quickly went back to sleep, but Teng Yi, who was in the First Prince's residence, wasn't sleepy at all.

The First Prince was also able to guess that the King had something the Emperor wanted, but it was a pity that he couldn't find out what it was even after searching for a few days.

Thus, when he heard of the death of the Duke of Qin and his son, he could guess that it had fallen into the hands of the emperor.

“Tell me the details. What was the situation?” In the study room of the First Prince's estate, a black clothed man was kneeling down.

He revealed the matter of the Emperor using the life and death of the Duke of Qin's son to him, and then told him the guess of the Imperial Consort Yun.

“The Empress speculates that this should be the Duke of Qin's accumulated wealth or the wealth that he inherited from others back then. When the Emperor sent people to receive the Kun City, he immediately rushed over to the Duke of Qin's supplies, but I heard that the amount was very large at the beginning.”

The First Prince pondered for a moment, “Back then, the Kun City was beaten down by Huo Tian. Could he have taken a portion of it first?”

“That's possible, but we don't have any evidence.”

The First Prince smirked, “This kind of thing didn't require evidence to begin with. If you spread the news out tomorrow, tell them that Huo Tian had stolen a large amount of money from the Southwest and that this money was given to the Third Prince. Then investigate further, to see what Huo Tian brought back when he returned from the Southwest.”

“Yes.”

Including the gold, silver, and jewelry he had found elsewhere, there were a total of fifteen large carts, which carried the goods back to the army camp in the name of transportation, and then followed the transport troops all the way back to the capital. It wasn't until they were almost at the capital city that they were replaced by the people Teng Yu had sent.

The members of the transport team were replaced by Yin Xu, this matter was done without anyone noticing, even if the soldiers of Capital Camp were to sense something, they would not have any evidence, and even more so, they would not expose Yin Xu.

Having interacted with each other along the way, Yin Xu had completely subdued all the soldiers. Although they had still returned to the Capital Camp afterwards, when it came to Yin Xu, all of them were full of reverence.
