Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 143

Chapter 143 - At the Very Least be like a Human Being

“Your Majesty, the Cabinet has just submitted today's Advice Letter.” Lai Jiquan led two Young Eunuch s and placed the two stacks of Advice Letter on the table.

The emperor rubbed his aching head and said with his eyes closed, “Just leave it for now.”

Lai Jiquan waved his hand to allow Young Eunuch to retreat. He first washed his hands three times before walking behind the emperor and massaging his temples with force.

“Your Majesty, would you like to see Imperial Physician Xuan? This old servant has not been able to rest well these days. “

“There's no need. We were all worried about that brat Teng Yu, and we were worried that he would create some huge trouble for us with his Hui State.”

Lai Jiquan's eyes flashed, he comforted his untruthfully: “You're overthinking things. This is the first time Third Prince has handled a errand, and he was even able to donate a few hundred thousand taels of silver. It can be seen how serious he is.”

“He's serious, but his methods are still too inexperienced. He killed the food courier right after he went in and did things recklessly and boldly. How could he be someone who knows how to handle matters?”

Even for the matter of donating silver, the emperor felt that it was strange. With Teng Yu's actions in the past, this step of his was extremely abrupt.

So he had the matter investigated in detail afterwards, and his son was in good shape, as if he had been given an idea.

However, no matter how hard he searched, he only found on Huo Tian's head. If not for seeing this person with his own eyes, he would have thought that there was something wrong with the intelligence system around him.

How could a fourteen year old boy so easily affect Teng Yu's decision? Even if he was an advisor, he was still too young at this age. How deep could he have the world and thoughts?

Yet, the result was just so surprising. A child who had been abandoned since childhood, could actually grow up to be both civil and military. It was really a wonder how many strands of smoke came out from the ancestral grave of Huo Family.

“Are there a lot of rumors about the Third Prince and the Lord of the Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters outside?”

“You mean …?”

The Emperor glanced back at him and said, “You know the answer?”

Lai Jiquan smiled awkwardly, and pretended to be uneasy as he said: “I thought you didn't know, but the rumors outside are real and fake, it's fine if you don't want to hear it.”

“Then tell me the truth, and I will differentiate between them.”

“Yes …” Almost everyone in the entire capital knew that Third Prince doted heavily on, so they scattered the backyard for him. Some of the more beautiful servants and attendant s in the palace had also been completely expelled.

Some people also say that the two of them are true love and love, otherwise, with Seventh Young Master's identity, they wouldn't stay in Third Prince Mansion forever. “

“Oh?” The emperor didn't pay much attention to his son's private life. There were a few people in their backyard, and they were both men and women.

He knew about Teng Yu and his, but he did not know much about it. In his opinion, it was just a moment of infatuation for the young.

“This old servant also heard about it, but it's true that the dispersal of the backyard was a matter of fact. Many people know that even though the palace maids that the emperor gave His Highness didn't come back, I heard they were also grounded.”

“There's such a thing?” The emperor opened his eyes and sat up straight. He was finally a little surprised, “Is he really planning to spend his life with Huo Tian?”

“This old servant doesn't know.” Lai Jiquan lowered his head, covering the smile in his eyes.

“Huo Zhengquan did not interfere?”

“Of course there are. I heard that the Lord Marshal ordered General Huang to lead five hundred Huo Family Army and tie Seventh Young Master up personally so that he wouldn't live in the Third Prince Mansion. Before that, the Seventh Young Master had always lived and ate with the Third Prince.”

The Emperor raised his eyebrows. A conspiracy mode appeared in his mind of its own accord. Could it be possible that the intimacy these two displayed was some sort of plot? Could it be because of the Huo Family? Could it be that the Huo Family had helped the Third Prince ascend to the throne, allowing them to seize the heaven's son and order the dukes to ascend to the throne?

He thought over all sorts of reasons, and in the end, rejected them one by one.

Huo Family definitely did not support the principle of an abandoned son.

The Emperor lightly knocked on the table, glimpsed at the tall pile of Advice Letter on the table and asked: “Have Yu Xuezhong's Advice Letter arrived?”

“I've arrived. There's a thick book, and I placed it at the top.” Lai Jiquan passed Yu Xuezhong's Advice Letter over to him.

The emperor looked at the Advice Letter with a troubled expression. After he finished looking at it, his face turned slightly pale.

“This Yu Xuezhong really knows how to do things. He did a good job in providing relief for the disaster this time. Teng Yu's deeds can be said as well. He is worthy of praise.”

Lai Jiquan echoed his words with a smile: “Your Highness is the son of the royal family, so you are naturally different from ordinary people.”

The emperor carefully analyzed the parts of the Advice Letter that were related to Teng Yu a few times, but he did not find any excessive praise nor did he find any slander. It was as if he was just stating the truth, which meant that Yu Xuezhong's position was still very firm.

Just as the emperor thought that Teng Yu was a genius, a eunuch outside the imperial study informed him, “Your majesty, a letter from the Third Prince has arrived.”

“Send them in.” The emperor thought he would see the relief report his son wrote, but he didn't expect it to be a family letter. It read: Royal Father, your son has completed his official business, and has decided to visit the people's affairs at Hui State.

The corners of the emperor's eyes twitched and his expression turned grim. “You've praised me too early!”

Lai Jiquan peeked at the emperor's face carefully and realized that he was not really angry. Instead, he was relieved.

The Emperor immediately threw the letter back to him and instructed, “Go check if there is anything interesting within the Hui State or if something interesting has happened.”

Lai Jiquan quickly swept a glance through it, put it down, and then left the imperial study.

Coincidentally, the First Prince came over with a box of food. He quickly hung up the box and smiled, “Your Highness, you came again? Every day at this hour, without missing a single bit, His Highness' filial piety can move the heavens and earth. “

The First Prince passed the food box to Young Eunuch and asked indifferently, “Is Royal Father still busy?”

“The Advice Letter that just read the Hui State and the letter sent by the Third Prince …”

“Ol ‘Three has sent a letter? What did you say? ” The First Prince looked straight at Lai Jiquan, and a moment later, he took out a black bag from his bosom and tossed it to Lai Jiquan. “Speak, don't say that you don't know.”

Lai Jiquan smiled as he put away his bag, “How can that be? A letter came from the Third Prince saying that he would like to play in Hui State for a few more days.

“Play?” At the same time that the First Prince secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he coldly snorted and said, “He only has this little bit of potential.”

“Naturally, we can't compare to those below the great hall.”

The corners of the First Prince's lips curled up as he walked past him. “Hurry up and follow. Tang Liang won't be good to drink.”

In this period of time, he vaguely went back to the past. The Royal Father still valued him the most, and the woman he doted on the most was the Royal Mother.

As expected, everything had been ruined by his uncle. If he hadn't interfered, he wouldn't have been able to cause so much trouble.

Guo Yanshan, bandit stronghold, had been fully searched once. Since they did not have much money and food left, Teng Yu decided to share with the saved people as their food for their return home.

In the end, only eight people were sent down the mountain, half of them were unable to wake up in the morning. According to the people sleeping next to them, these people did not make too much noise at night, many of them could not endure the natural death, some of them died suddenly due to excessive emotional fluctuations, and a few women hanged themselves, ending their own lives.

Teng Yu ordered some people to bring them to their homes, carefully taking care of them, causing the people who survived to be extremely grateful.

After these people left, Teng Yu immediately sent someone to bring a letter to Wei Zi'an, telling him to catch up to the mountain as soon as possible. This mountain range is so huge, knows clearly where the iron ores are located.

“There's no need to tear down these houses. We can leave them for the miners to live in, and we can order people to pretend they are bandits. We can't let them hurt our lives, we need to let others think that the bandits are still here.” Teng Yu instructed the guards beside him one by one.

Yin Xu yawned as he sat on the stone chair and basked in the sun. Standing opposite him was his future attendant, who pointed at the teapot at the side and said, “Xiao Ren, pour me a cup of hot tea.”

Wang Ren tilted his head and looked at him, not realizing that he was calling him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't make a move.

In the boy's memory, he had never done such a thing as pouring water.

Yin Xu waited for a long time and still did not manage to drink the tea. Sighing, he said, “With your silly and stupid personality, how can I count on you to serve me well in the future?”

Wang Ren still did not react, and it was unknown if he heard Yin Xu talking about him, but the reason why he stood there without moving was because this was the position that he used to stand at everyday. Although the cage was no longer there, he was used to observing his surroundings from here.

Yin Xu smacked him dead on the head, and just as he was about to reprimand him, he saw the other party staring at him with that black and white emotionless eyes, and immediately became speechless.

He called out to Mao Er and pointed at Wang Ren: “Mao Er, I'll leave him to you. The first thing I need to do is to raise his body a little, at least he's like a human being.

If this brat continued to look like this, then there was no need to count on him to become a good attendant.
