Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 258 - Third Prince must be Crazy

Teng Yu and Huo Zhengquan chatted in the study room for a long time. When the two came out, they looked quite satisfied.

Yin Xu was curious about what the two had said. He chased after Teng Yu and asked a few times, but the other party refused to reveal anything.

Yin Xu thought for a while and made a guess, “Did Huo Zhengquan sell me out? To get your support? “

This is also very possible. Huo Family is currently facing a crisis, if we can work with Third Prince Mansion, then even the Emperor need not put it in his eyes.

Teng Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. “You underestimate your father too much.

“Then where did you get the proper marriage? Didn't he always say that it was hard to disobey the teachings of our ancestors? “

Teng Yu blinked his eyes, and reached out to pinch Yin Xu's cheeks, “A secret!”

Yin Xu looked at each other in anger, he really wanted to search his soul, but in consideration for his own happiness and growth in cultivation, he couldn't bear to do anything.

“Alright, do you want to come back with me or continue living in Huo Family? I have to go back and take care of some things. “

“Yin Xu was just angered by him, so he's naturally unwilling to follow him back.” Go, since my Huo Family are in danger, I have to do something for my original body.

Teng Yu did not force him, as compared to Third Prince Mansion, Huo Family were much safer, and no one would dare to cause trouble here, so after he was done with this matter, he would come pick him up.

At night, a piece of news came out from the palace. Yang Hu had died in the Sky Prison without being certain about it, but he had left behind a blood letter before he died, which was even more shocking than the one he had left behind.

Huo Family only managed to get their hands on the blood scroll in the middle of the night, and after reading it, all of them fell silent.

“Just how much hatred does Yang Hu have towards our family? To actually slander Huo Family like that!” Huo Yiming punched on the table, blue veins popping out from his forehead.

If Yang Hu had not been born of Huo Family Army and was not a good friend of the Huo Yiming, he would not have been so furious.

Not only did the blood book repeat Yang Hu's earlier report, it also wrote down many details, such as which prince of the Northern Barbarians the Marshal Huo colluded with, or how Huo Family Army released the enemy intentionally, and even lied about the number of casualties, or defrauded pensions from the imperial court.

In the Northwest, wherever Huo Zhengquan went, all the officials kneeled down respectfully. As long as Huo Zhengquan made a decision, the officials there would not refute him. The Northwest had already become the Northwest of Huo Zhengquan, and it was much more serious than when the Duke of Qin had occupied the entire Kun City.

Yin Xu had originally only come to make up numbers, but after looking through the blood book occasionally, he couldn't help but praise: “There are at least a thousand words here. To be able to write so many words with his own blood before dying, I reckon Yang Hu must have died entirely of blood.”

“…” All of the males' heads were filled with black lines, but none of them knew how to retort.

“Isn't it?” Yin Xu looked around, and seeing that everyone was disapproving, he asked: “Then how did he die, did he commit suicide or kill himself? Are there any results? “

“Not yet, there are no obvious injuries on Yang Hu's body, only his ten fingers were bitten off by him. It can be seen that he has made a great decision.”

“Can I go and take a look?” Yin Xu became curious. The coroner of the Dazhu was still very powerful, it was not difficult to identify a person's cause of death, not to mention what happened in the Sky Prison. The Emperor would definitely send people to immediately investigate the cause of death.

However, until now, there was no clear answer.

“What are you doing?” Huo Yidao smiled faintly, with slight disdain, “What if others treat you as a murderer?”

“Brother!” Huo Yiming looked at him warily. He didn't know what was going on with this brat, but the moment he saw Seventh Brother, he started to choke.

Thinking about it, it wasn't possible. They shouldn't have had any interaction with each other.

Huo Yiming put down his doubts and said to Yin Xu: “Right now, the corpse has already been carried into the palace. We can only report to the Emperor tomorrow before we enter the palace to take a look.” Moreover, he had to do it in front of everyone else. Otherwise, if there were any problems, he would be unable to defend himself.

“The political situation in the imperial court is ever-changing. Tomorrow will no longer be a peaceful day. Prepare yourselves, and you will be at court on time tomorrow.” Huo Zhengquan stood up, his waist as straight as a spear, his eyes as deep as the lake, making people subconsciously want to submit.

Other than Huo Yidao who had become a civil servant, the rest of the people in the Huo Family would rarely go to court. Huo Zhengquan stayed in the northwest for many years, and after returning to the capital, he would enter the palace to report on the situation.

It just so happened that the emperor didn't want to see him in the assembly every day, so he straightforwardly gave him an exception.

After a dreamless night, Huo Zhengquan punctually brought his three sons to the palace. On Yin Xu's body, he even had the title of Palace Commander, so entering the palace wouldn't hinder them.

Originally, according to Teng Yu's plan, after Yin Xu obtained back from the Southwest, he should have been promoted to the next rank. After all, this contribution was too great.

In the end, before the emperor could think of a way to reward him, rumors of Yin Xu stealing the stolen money spread out. This gave the emperor an excuse, and he slowed down his movements, to the point where he still had not given Yin Xu an answer.

Yin Xu saw Teng Yu in the crowd and could not help but think: It is a special day today, everything that should not have come has arrived, looks like the gathering will be rather lively.

“Lord Marshal …” Along the way, there were people who greeted Huo Zhengquan. However, their expressions were different.

When he was about to step into the Chengde Hall realm, an old man wearing a crimson red official's uniform walked towards the Huo Family father and son, “Does Marshal Huo really think that Huo Family belongs to the world? How dare you be so arrogant! “

Yin Xu had seen him before, even if he did not remember who he was, he knew that the one wearing this kind of official uniform was a level 1 official of the imperial government.

“Sir Prime Minister, do not speak carelessly of matters without any proof, and lower your status.”

“No proof? What was the dead Yang Hu? What was the blood letter he left behind? “Marshal, you must know that you can't cover the sky with one hand, because the heaven's net is vast and the earth's net is vast and there is no way for it to cover the sky without leaking a single word.” After Inferior Prime Minister finished speaking, he gave a cold snort and turned his head to enter the Chengde Hall.

The surrounding officials who heard their conversation all lowered their heads. Some of them did not believe the witness' testimony, but some started to doubt it. But no matter what, they would not easily go against Huo Family.

“This old man is really disgusting. Are you sure you want me to marry their family?” Yin Xu stood beside Huo Zhengquan. The two of them had similar appearances, and were very eye-catching.

“It's not my father's idea.” With his hands behind his back, Huo Zhengquan walked into the great hall with his head held high.

“The emperor has arrived …” Chief Minister Qu's shrill and soft voice resounded within the great hall.

Yin Xu pricked his ears and thought gloatingly: These civil servants go to court every day, and their ears are pierced by this demonic sound every day, no wonder they are a little abnormal.

“Long live the Five Emperors! Long live the Five Emperors! Long live the Five Emperors!”

“Rise …”

When the emperor saw the person from the Huo Family standing next to him, his eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he said in a loud voice, “The south is in a mess, have you allocated the silver and food for disaster relief?”

The Minister of Revenue stood up and replied, “In reply to Your Majesty, we've already shipped them to the south as per our plan.”

“Hmm, send someone to follow up on what happened. You must report the situation to the public every day. There can be no mistake. If anyone dares to be rich and earn money from the victims, I will not let them off lightly!”

“This subject accepts the order!”

The Emperor nodded in satisfaction. “Is there anything else?” “If you have something to say, you can leave now.”

The hall was quiet for a moment, then Yin Xu looked around, only to see a middle-aged man with a big stomach walk out, “Your Majesty, this subject has something to do.”

“Speak.”

This subject wants to impeach Marshal Huo for overstepping his authority in the Northwest, meddling in the politics of the empire, pressuring the officials of the Northwest, forcing them to obey Marshal Huo's orders. Since ancient times, martial artists have not stepped foot in politics, this action of the Marshal Huo has violated our laws, I plead for Your Majesty to punish us severely!

Yin Xu poked the Huo Yiming in front of him and asked: “Who is this?”

Huo Yiming clenched his teeth and replied fiercely: “Assistant Minister of the Government Department, in charge of the evaluation of the achievements of the officials.”

“Not on good terms with our family again?” After Yin Xu asked this question, he felt that he had said some nonsense. If he had a good relationship with Huo Family, why would he suddenly come forward to impeach them?

“Is there any evidence?” the Emperor asked grimly.

“Yes!” The official took out a book from his sleeve. “This is a letter that a Northwest classmate of mine secretly wrote to this official. He complained to this official about the marshal's tyranny, please have a look at it, Your Majesty.”

“Present.” The emperor reached out to take the booklet passed to him by the attendant and opened it very seriously.

The more he saw that was behind him, the more his eyebrows knitted together and he would sweep his gaze at Huo Zhengquan from time to time.

Yin Xu curled his lips, sighing to himself: As an emperor, the most important thing is to put on an act.

“Your majesty, this subject also has a musical composition.”

“What is it?”

“This subject would also like to impeach Marshal Huo.”

“What did you, an official of the Ministry of Rites, want to impeach him for?”

“This subject wanted to impeach the marshal's godson for not having the means to do so, and thus violating the late emperor's teachings. Not only would the etiquette not be good, it would also not tolerate the law.”

Yin Xu instantly noticed that more gazes fell on his body. He raised his head, and looked around blankly: “Why are all of you staring at me?”

“Puchi.” It was unknown who couldn't hold back his laughter, causing the atmosphere in the main hall to change.

The emperor laughed as he pointed at Yin Xu, “My love, the person you're talking about is Commander Huo?”

The official's face was filled with anger, “That's right! I believe everyone knows that Commander Huo has an unspeakable relationship with the Third Prince … “

“Wait, what do you mean by ‘unspeakable?'” Yin Xu interrupted him and said very calmly: “Isn't it just because I have a good relationship with Third Prince that you want to beat me up?”

“Impudent!” Commander Huo, do you know how to write the three words, “justice, justice, honor, and shame”? “He actually spoke so calmly.”

“This young master really doesn't know how to write. Why don't you teach me? As for speaking frankly, this young master has always been one to take responsibility for his actions, and has never lost face.

The official did not argue with Yin Xu, but spoke out loudly: “Your Majesty, the late emperor has decreed that the Huo Family is not to be betrothed to the imperial family. Although this Huo Tian is a man, his relationship with the Third Prince has already violated this rule, this subject is worried that the late emperor will take precautions.”

“They aren't married. How can that count?” The emperor's face had already turned green, this man had impeached Huo Zhengquan's godson?

“But from what this subject knows, the Third Prince has already obtained the Marshal Huo's approval, it's just a short ceremony, this subject believes that the relationship between the two has already been established.”

“Is that true?” The emperor reprimanded Teng Yu, “Do you have something to say?”

Teng Yu slowly walked out, “Calm down Royal Father, this son has always been fond of Huo Tian, and has not been to the Royal Father for more than a day or two. He has also asked the Royal Father to bestow the marriage on him, this is something everyone knows, this son and Huo Tian are both men, it is impossible for them to have children, there will never be a situation that our ancestors are worried about.”

“His Highness's words are funny, just because you can't have any children doesn't mean that you can't have any children.”

“Of course not, Your Highness dare to swear to the heavens that besides Huo Tian, you will never touch a single finger of anyone else in this life, if not, I will be the one to die without descendants.”

“This …” The crowd went into an uproar, obviously stunned by Teng Yu's vow.

However, there were also people who thought that if the Third Prince really did not touch any other women, it would be the end of their lives.

Some people were happy while others were sad.

It was impossible for the emperor to allow a prince without descendants to inherit the throne. It was obvious that the Third Prince was giving up that position.

Everyone could not help but be suspicious: [Is there really someone who would rather have beauties than rivers and mountains?]

Furthermore, beauties did not lay eggs, no matter how she thought about it, it was not worth it. Third Prince must be crazy!
