Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 278 - I will Not Marry Huo Tian

The First Prince had washed his hands five times, and only by rubbing them until they turned red could he be considered finished. However, he was still worried that the smallpox was too terrifying. Once it was spread, there would be no cure for it.

A new eunuch came over and said, “Your Highness, the Imperial Consort's Empress heard of your situation and asked you to go to her palace to change.”

The First Prince was only wearing his middle clothes, and many parts of his body had been splashed with water. He was indeed in a rather sorry state.

The emperor didn't feel that anything was amiss. After all, in this palace, there was only Lanxin Palace's eldest son wearing clothes.

The First Prince followed the eunuch to Lanxin Hall. Halfway there, he realized that the path did not lead to Lanxin Hall. He took out his dagger and placed it on the eunuch's neck, asking sternly, “Where are you bringing me?”

The eunuch looked around and whispered, “Your Highness, it was General Yun who ordered this servant to bring you out of the palace. He has already ordered people to surround the palace. We need to leave the palace as soon as possible.”

“What?” The First Prince was surprised for a moment, and then filled with rage, “Why didn't he consult with me?”

“What General Yun means is that this is a rare opportunity. The choice of day is not as good as the choice of day. You should hurry up and leave the palace with your servant.”

The First Prince pressed the dagger hard against his neck, “Wait, why should I trust a dog slave like you? Also, where is the Royal Mother? What about Royal Mother? “

“The Imperial Consort's Empress has already arranged for people to come and fetch them. Wait until General Yun officially seals the city, you will be in danger if you stay in the palace.” As he spoke, the eunuch took out a jade pendant from her bosom and showed it to the First Prince.

The First Prince would naturally be able to recognize that it was their Yun Heran's personal item. He lowered his head to glance at his nondescript clothes, and asked to bring him to find a set of clothes first.

“Help me find a set of servant clothes.”

“How can that be?” “Your Highness, those are the clothes that the servants are wearing, you …”

“Alright, what time is this?” It will make it less conspicuous if you meet the guards in their chambermaids' uniforms. “

The First Prince was not someone who did not know how to take detours. He was like a bird locked in a cage, able to be taken hostage at any time. The most important thing was to leave the palace safely.

He still couldn't understand Yun Heran's selfishness. This uncle of his was too arbitrary, even if ascended the throne in the future, he wouldn't be at ease.

On the other side, Teng Yu was also walking out of the palace when he bumped into Commander Xu who was rushing in. Oh, that's not right.

The two of them did not have a good relationship, so Teng Yu stopped them and asked, “Guard Xu, what happened, why are you rushing to be reincarnated?”

“Your humble servant greets your majesty.” Guard Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said solemnly, “Your Highness, the palace is surrounded.”

Teng Yu frowned, he did not expect the other party to move so quickly, without any warning.

“Who surrounded the palace?” He asked knowing the answer.

“From the looks of it, they should be soldiers from the Yun Family.” “Your Highness, this humble servant is in a hurry to report this to the emperor. Why don't you come along?”

Teng Yu looked at the entrance from afar. From here, he could only see a red dot, he could not tell how many soldiers were surrounding the entrance, it would not be difficult for him to find an opening, but at a time like this, being in the palace should be more beneficial.

He instructed one of the guards, “You can leave from the back of the Cold Palace. Once you leave from there, you will reach the moat.

“Your subordinate will not disappoint you!”

Teng Yu followed Guard Xu and returned to the royal study. The emperor was walking around the study nervously, he was not very old yet, but both his temples had already turned white. The wrinkles on his face had increased a lot since a year ago.

“What happened? Why is there a drumbeat? ” There were three big drums outside the palace, one to warn of injustice, the other to warn of danger.

“Your Majesty, the Yun Family has been reversed. General Yun has sent people to surround the Imperial Palace!” Ever since he had been demoted, he had started to open his eyes. Even in the face of unknown dangers, he was still very calm.

“Yun Heran! “He dares!” The emperor suddenly slammed the table and stood up, “Where are the imperial guards? Where was the Imperial Guard? Where did they all go? Capture that criminal official for me! “

“Your Majesty, the enemy has a large number of people. Right now, they are only surrounding the city and not attacking it …” The palace has less than ten thousand guards and Imperial Guards, it's best to dispatch some reinforcements from outside the palace as soon as possible! “

Teng Yu interrupted and said: “Royal Father, in my opinion, there is probably a change outside the palace as well. That old thief Yun Heran would definitely not dare to force the palace with just twenty thousand troops.”

“The Yun Family is guarding the northeast, there's only a total of fifty thousand people. Could it be that he ignored the safety of the citizens and brought all his troops here?” Fifty thousand soldiers from the northeast did not sound like a lot, but compared to the soldiers from the capital who were used to living a life of luxury, these soldiers had quite a bit of fighting strength.

“That's not necessarily true. There should be some generals that have defected to the hands of traitors in the capital!” When Teng Yu said this, the emperor was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Recalling the imperial physician's repeated instructions that the emperor should not be provoked any longer, if he were to be easily angered again, his body would collapse very quickly.

“Calm your anger, Royal Father. We still have to dispatch the city guards and the Capital Camp soldiers as soon as possible. If we don't get controlled by that traitor, we would be like turtles in a jar.”

The emperor took out the Tiger Tally from his secret compartment and gave it to Guard Xu. “Go. I know that you were wronged when it happened last time. This time, I shall treat it as making up for my wrongdoings!”

Guard Xu carefully placed the Tiger Tally on his body. “Yes, this official thanks the Lord for his grace!”

This scene happened to fall right into the eyes of the newly appointed guard leader. His eyes darkened as he knelt down and reported the situation outside to the Emperor.

Originally, he wanted to be the first one to report, but unfortunately, his qinggong was not as good as the Xu family's.

He had once been a deputy commander, but after much difficulty, the mountain above his head collapsed. The Emperor trusted him to ascend to the throne, and thought that henceforth, it would become a bright road.

Although the emperor had removed the position of surnamed Xu, the person he trusted the most was still him. For example, in this case, the person who took over the Tiger Tally was actually him and not him.

His mind resounded with Yun Heran's words. He was just a substitute, and a temporary substitute at that. Once Xu Mang had performed meritorious deeds, this commander position would sooner or later be his.

When he was outside the study room, he seemed to have heard the words' merit ‘. It seemed that the Emperor really did have such thoughts.

Teng Yu's deep gaze landed on the trust commander, he was very old, and could be considered to have built up through experience, his ability was not very outstanding, and he asked: “Commander Wang, if we were to fight, what are our chances of victory?”

The reason why Teng Yu had purposely tied himself and the Emperor was so that things would become more reasonable in the future.

“This, it's hard to say. The enemy has twenty thousand elite soldiers, and the palace has a large area. Our people will have to protect a portion of the imperial concubines, and we'll also have to patrol without rest. If the enemy is to focus on a little bit, then we can't do anything about it.”

“Then let's take the initiative and attack! This is the palace, should I wait for that traitor to come in? ” The Emperor's eyes were bloodshot. When his temper rose, he was like a wild beast that had lost control of itself, and a faint desire to kill arose within his heart.

The first was the Duke of Qin, and now he had Yun Family. These people all wanted to seize his mountains and rivers, and all of them would die a horrible death!

“Where's Teng Yi?” Go! If we capture Teng Yi and the Imperial Consort Yun here, even if Yun Family were to rebel, the mother and son would still not be able to escape from our grasp! “

All along the way, he was hesitating over a decision. Yun Heran had asked him many times, whether he wanted to be a commander that could be replaced at any time, or a general that could defend a region and command an army!

There was no man who didn't want to be a general after entering a military post. Although the commander and guards were all fighting for the position, they were still far from having the freedom to guard a region.

Look at the Marshal Huo, look at General Yun, which one of them isn't the local tyrant at the border? That was a man's life.

Teng Yu poured a cup of tea for the emperor and comforted him: “Royal Father, do not be so anxious.

The emperor raised his head and looked at him. He took the teacup but did not drink. Instead, he said harshly, “You seem to be pretending to be filial and filial. Don't think that I don't know.

“What does Royal Father say? Do you really think that I would dare to lose my temper with you? ” Teng Yu laughed as he finished speaking. He remembered that when he was young, he was indeed angry at the Emperor, and then, even if there was, he was pretending.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he suddenly said, “I regret what happened to your mother!”

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth curved, he did not ask him what he regretted, could a single word of regret change everything? Would he be able to save his mother's life? How could there be such a simple matter?

“At that time, I was possessed by a ghost and when we have dealt with Yun Family this time, I will make you the crown prince.” The Emperor spoke as if he was speaking the truth, after that he stared at Teng Yu for a long time.

Teng Yu chuckled, “What reaction does Royal Father want to see from this son's face? Undisguised joy? Or was it suppressed to the point of wild joy? “

Once the Yun Family was dealt with, the First Prince would definitely be implicated. Of the four princes, there was only one left, even if the Emperor did not appoint him as the crown prince, would he have any other choice?

Teng Yu was neither happy nor sad, “You don't have to test me, what should be me is mine, if not mine, I won't force it!”

The emperor looked away indifferently. “However, to make you Crown Prince, you must take back the imperial edict that was bestowed on you. How can a crown prince without any descendants be acknowledged by the people of the world?” “I don't want Big Liang Jiang Shan to die in your hands!”

Teng Yu raised his eyebrows, and revealed a happy expression, then darkened his face: “Impossible, this son will not marry anyone but Huo Tian!”

The emperor naturally wouldn't ignore the happiness on his face, and in his heart, he recognized Teng Yu's choice. No matter how nice a man's words were, when the time came, he would still be able to clearly distinguish who was the most important.

The emperor took the blank imperial edict from the side, wrote down an imperial edict with his pen, and passed it to Teng Yu without adding the Imperial Jade Seal, “We know that you are sincere to Huo Tian, but what is a man to you when you have mountains and rivers? If you like it, stay by your side. You can do your best to pamper him.

Teng Yu did not accept the imperial edict, and turned his face away, “Royal Father does not need to persuade me, I will not let you down.”

The emperor sighed and placed the Imperial Jade Seal in the secret compartment before adding, “My body is getting worse and worse. The imperial edict will be issued after the chaos is resolved. You can rest assured.”

Teng Yu thought sarcastically in his heart: Wasn't saying all this just to ease his own heart, to not back him up with another knife?

Unfortunately, this opportunity was too good for him to miss.

“Does Royal Father regret sending Marshal Huo and his son out?” Teng Yu thought that if Huo Zhengquan was here, even if he was given ten guts, he wouldn't dare to force the palace so recklessly.

The emperor sneered, “So what? When you get this position, you will understand how we feel. We truly want to see how you and Huo Tian will still fall in love with each other.”

The Emperor had calculated that these two people would not last long and how could anyone who had ascended to the throne possibly allow themselves to be intimidated by a subject? Huo Family could no longer be described as an achievement that could shake the Emperor at any time, and a subject that could endanger the throne at any time, no matter who it was, would be eliminated.

Teng Yu said in an infuriating tone: “Then Royal Father must live well in order to see that day.”

Commander Wang returned very quickly, looking both alarmed and annoyed. “Your majesty, this humble servant was unable to find the First Prince and Imperial Consort Yun. They have gone missing.”

“Bastard!” How could two living people disappear? Go find it again! Even if we have to overturn the entire palace, we have to find the person! “

Commander Wang was about to go out when he heard Third Prince say: “Royal Father, stop looking, they must have already left the palace. Yun Heran dared to force the palace, so he must have made preparations first.”

“Bastard!” The emperor scolded again, “Kill all the servants in Lanxin Hall! Every single one of them was trying to take advantage of the situation! It's not worth dying for! “

Teng Yu did not stop him this time. Master had escaped, so the servants naturally could not live to see the light of day.

Teng Yu lowered his head and stood at the side, he thought to himself: It's fine to let the Emperor take action, but after saving himself from being in charge, he still has to take care of this group of servants.
