C119 – You Don’t Know Him!
Yin Xu struck back with his palm as the strong gales collided, destroying half of the living room.
The palace maids and eunuchs screamed as they ran out. There were also some maids rushing towards the Third Prince, slamming the door to the inner chamber loudly with a ‘clang’.
Huo Zhengquan placed his numb palm behind him, his heart was filled with pleasant surprise. Although he knew that Yin Xu’s martial arts were not bad, he had never expected that he would actually be able to resist.
He took a step to the side and sat down firmly on a chair with a missing foot. “No wonder you were able to escape dozens of killers. Your skills are much higher than I expected.”
The corner of Yin Xu’s mouth curved into a smile, he did not feel that this praise was joyful at all.
Speaking of which, the reason why he could smoothly receive Huo Zhengquan’s palm strike was all because of the dual cultivation previously. Because it was the first time, the effect of dual cultivation with Teng Yu was simply shockingly good, causing him to regret not stepping onto the dual cultivation path earlier in his previous life.
“Did Marshal Huo barge into my Hall of Immortality just to probe my Seventh Young Master Huo’s abilities?” Teng Yu lazily leaned on the door, his chest and clothes were also opened wide, his four limbs were relaxed, and he looked like he had just woken up.
“This marshal has come to look for his son. Please forgive me for disturbing him.” Huo Zhengquan’s gaze swept across Teng Yu and was withdrawn.
Teng Yu stepped over the broken pieces of the floor, walked to Yin Xu’s side and sat down next to him. The intimate posture of the two made Huo Zhengquan’s face even darker and darker.
“Huo Tian, follow me back!” Huo Zhengquan’s expression was fierce, his eyes were as sharp as knives, as if he was going to cut the two people in front of him into pieces.
“Royal Father wants him to recuperate in the palace, so I won’t be going back for now.” Teng Yu was the first to answer in Yin Xu’s stead.
“The Huo Family does not lack living quarters. Why take over the Third Prince’s living quarters?”
Teng Yu chuckled softly, “He eats and sleeps with this prince, and does not occupy the slightest bit of space. Without him, this prince would not be able to rest properly.”
Even though Huo Zhengquan had a large group of wives and concubines and had a bunch of children, he still felt that this Third Prince was very shameless.
“When has Third Prince ever lacked servants? Why do you need Huo Tian to accompany you? Or could it be that Your Highness wants to become enemies with my Huo Family? ” Huo Zhengquan threatened.
Teng Yu looked at Yin Xu awkwardly, “That’s because of my past, the Field Marshal should know that Huo Tian is the only one in my Highness and that he will be the only one. I hope the Field Marshal can grant our wish.”
“It’s a deal?” Huo Zhengquan seemed to have heard the funniest joke ever, his expression was twisted, “Your Highness, how do you want this marshal to fulfill your wish?”
How could two men get married? Even if their relationship was even better now, who knew what would happen in the future? Moreover, they would be able to protect each other for the rest of their lives and not have any descendants? What a joke!
“Yes, that will do. As long as Lord Marshal agrees, This Highness is willing to marry Huo Tian and promise you that you will never take his as your concubine!”
“…” This time, not only was Huo Zhengquan stunned, even Yin Xu did not expect Teng Yu to say such words.
But don’t think that he was just shy and happy. In fact, Demon Lord was cursing in his heart: Why should I be his wife? He should be the one to marry.
However, the other two obviously didn’t hear what he was thinking. Their four eyes were staring at each other, and they could even feel the pressure from the distance.
Huo Zhengquan had long heard of such words from the Huo Yiming, but this was the first time he had heard it with his own ears.
“Third Prince wouldn’t think that His Majesty would agree, right?” A prince marrying a man? What kind of place was he going to put the Royal Family’s face in?
Moreover, the rule that royal family and Huo Family could not marry was historical.
“Then we will not trouble Sir Marshal to consider it. We just hope that when Royal Father agrees in the future, you will not object!”
“Impossible!” Huo Zhengquan opposed it flatly. So what if the Emperor agrees?
Maybe the Emperor wanted to use this opportunity to make this Huo Family look bad, or perhaps he had some other scheme? Did he really have to obey the decree obediently?
He gloomily looked at Yin Xu, and the pleasant surprise instantly turned into anger. If he had known earlier, this son of his would have preferred not to appear for the rest of his life.
“Lord Marshal, you should go back and think about it carefully. I am different from the Royal Father, I don’t have too much ambition, and this matter is beneficial for the Huo Family.”
“Humph!” This commander cannot afford to lose his face if he wants to make this commander’s seller beg for honor, and his reputation in the past hundred years of Huo Family cannot be allowed! “
Teng Yu smiled at him but did not continue to persuade him. He knew that with Huo Zhengquan’s temperament, it would be even more difficult to get him to agree than to convince the emperor.
After Huo Zhengquan left, Teng Yu and Yin Xu handed the messy living room over to the servants to clean up and go to the study together.
“Huo Zhengquan this old man seems to be starting to suspect something.”
Yin Xu threw himself into the soft beauty bed in the study, and leaned his head forward to support it. “You should be worried about the Emperor now, since he is suspicious too.”
“Then let him check, now that number two is quiet, he still has a place to use me.”
“Speaking of the Second Prince, has something happened during our absence?” Yin Xu remembered that when he went to the Shenlu Mountain, the emperor had still taken a liking to the Second Prince, and had even left him in the capital to manage big matters.
However, the moment he came back, he heard that this His Highness The Prince was grounded, even his marriage to a secondary wife failed to lift his ban.
Teng Yu called for someone to come in. He did not have the time to listen carefully, he only knew that according to his own plans, the Concubine Yang and the Second Prince would definitely fall to the ground.
The person who entered was Han Sen. He had returned a day earlier than the emperor, and some matters were even arranged by him.
“This matter will start from when Imperial Consort Yun handed over control of the inner palace to Concubine Yang. Imperial Consort Yun is an expert at scheming, every decision she makes might contain deep meanings, but it is a pity that Concubine Yang is happy and does not know it yet.”
“Imperial Consort Yun purposely let people leak out a piece of information to Concubine Yang. They say that there is a voodoo evil being hidden in Lanxin Palace, and that it is used to curse the Emperor. The reason is so that the Emperor can die early, so that the First Prince can ascend to the throne.”
“When she heard this news, the Concubine Yang might not believe it immediately, so she used one of her spies in the Lanxin Hall to help her find that evil being, and that spy had long been betrayed by the Imperial Consort Yun, so she gave the Concubine Yang the wrong answer without question.”
“Not only that, the Imperial Consort Yun had also used her own men to hide that evil being in the Concubine Yang’s Bedroom Hall, waiting for the Concubine Yang to make a counter-attack when she brought this matter to the emperor.”
Hearing this, Yin Xu could roughly guess the outcome of the mother and son pair of Concubine Yang. In terms of scheming, these two were not Imperial Consort Yun’s opponents.
“However …” I’m more curious about your role in this. ” If Teng Yu knew of Imperial Consort Yun’s plan in advance, he would have definitely intervened.
Han Sen glanced at his master’s face, then lowered his head and continued: “Our people only found out about it when the news spread to the Concubine Yang, so they didn’t have enough time to prepare, so Your Highness told us, we might as well turn the matter of the evil beings hidden in the Lanxin Palace into reality, and swapped the things that curse the Emperor into the First Prince’s.”
“Then didn’t you indirectly help Imperial Consort Yun?” Why did Yin Xu feel that this plan was not very worthwhile?
The corner of Han Sen’s mouth widened into a faint smile, “From the looks of it, it seems that way, it is indeed true. Because with this, the Emperor believes that it was the Concubine Yang who set this up. After all, no mother would joke around with their own son.”
“However, it’s not as if she didn’t hurt Imperial Consort Yun at all. You don’t know, when she saw the ‘birthdate’ of the First Prince hidden in the wooden box, as well as that vicious curse, she immediately fainted on the spot.”
“This woman is so timid?” Yin Xu didn’t really understand the feelings of a mother, so he naturally couldn’t understand how the powerful woman in the Imperial Consort Yun could be scared senseless by a little thing.
“To Imperial Consort Yun, the most important person in this world is the First Prince, followed by herself. She doesn’t want to see anything that could possibly harm the First Prince, and that is her biggest weakness.”
“Then what did the Emperor do in the end?”
“Concubine Yang deprived me of my title and sent me to the Cold Palace. Second Prince is forbidden from entering and I have temporarily discharged my duty. As for whether I can get up again in the future, it is unknown.”
“It can be considered not bad, but after this incident, the Emperor will definitely value Imperial Consort Yun and the First Prince even more. Maybe he will give the title of Crown Prince to the First Prince just because he felt sorry for them?”
“This is impossible!” Teng Yu threw away the book in his hands and said indifferently, “The emperor is still young, to be established prematurely would only increase the authority of his Yun Family. He is currently thinking of ways to weaken the power of his Yun Family, so how would he send this opportunity to his Yun Family?”
“Then the reason why you are doing this is to make the Second Prince lose all of its power, so that you can stand out yourself?”
Teng Yu shrugged his shoulders, “That will depend on whether the emperor dares to use me!”
“Aren’t you afraid that he will reject you even more because of what you’ve hidden from him?” Yin Xu felt that with the Emperor’s narrow-minded personality, he would probably set Teng Yu up even more.
However, Teng Yu was very confident, “That is because you don’t understand him well enough.”
After being together with the Emperor for so many years, he knew that the most likely thing for him to do was to push himself out and use all sorts of methods to stimulate his abilities before suppressing them.
Wasn’t this another type of killing technique?
However, these were not things that Teng Yu was worried about right now. He only wanted this chance, a chance to slowly change his image and build his foundation in the temple. As for how the Emperor would deal with him in the future, that was a matter for the future.
Previously, when Yin Xu sold the items in the Third Prince Mansion warehouse, a lot of people were there to watch the show. Later on, there were also a lot of people who bought the items secretly, requesting for their identities and names to be kept secret.
Teng Yu only wanted to earn money, so he would definitely not make a fuss about it. As a result, during this period of time, his Third Prince Mansion had truly accumulated a lot of wealth.
