Chapter 168 - Who Knows What's Wrong with Him
An hour later, Teng Yu finished up on time and picked up a pair of Yin Xu's underpants to wipe off their bodies. He then personally took out Yin Xu's official uniform and put it on for him.
The Emperor was probably afraid that he would find an excuse to leave the palace, and even prepared two more sets of official clothing. It could be seen that the purpose of calling him into the palace was not pure.
Yin Xu laid on the bed and allowed Teng Yu to put on his clothes. He told him to raise his arms and legs because he was too tired to move.
Because of the lack of time, Teng Yu did not use dual cultivation, he had to recover his strength for a period of time after simply having sex, and thought to himself: All the training he did during this period was wasted, all of it was for Teng Yu's benefit.
After Teng Yu helped him put on his clothes, he pulled him up and kissed him on the cheek, “Should I go say that we are going to rest for the night? I'm not going out of the palace either.
Yin Xu rolled her eyes and pushed him away, “Stay away from me, I will definitely be alive and kicking.”
Teng Yu only thought that he was tired, and didn't realize that such a simple courtship would have any bad effects on Yin Xu, much less that his innate talent was superior.
He had never been with a man before, so he naturally did not know what kind of condition a normal man would be in. Yin Xu would be weak for half a day every time he finished asking a question, but he was quickly filled with vigor again.
He tied up Yin Xu's belt and poured a cup of water for him to drink. Just as he was about to kiss farewell, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
He frowned and asked impatiently, “Why are you in such a hurry?”
The people outside heard an unfamiliar voice and the knocking stopped immediately. However, another angry voice quickly sounded out, “Commander Huo, what time is it? What are you waiting for? Don't know if it's time to change shifts? “
Teng Yu recognized the voice of the Guard Commander, but he was especially disgusted by the tone of his voice. He asked Yin Xu: “Is this how he usually talks to you?”
Yin Xu leaned on Teng Yu and said weakly: “Let's do it like that, no one knows what kind of sickness he has!”
When he was young, the emperor made him his martial arts teacher, but it was a pity that before even a month had passed, he had already gone to report that he was unable to teach a disciple like Teng Yu.
At that time, he thought he was favored by others. When he heard that someone dared to despise him, he naturally took revenge. Even though he couldn't get the person off his back, he still created a lot of trouble for him.
Therefore, even if both sides did not say anything on the surface, the truth was not much better than the enemy.
With the relationship between Yin Xu and himself, it would be weird if this person was able to take care of him.
He supported Yin Xu up, personally going to open the door, then smiled as he looked at the Commander who had instantly changed his expression.
“So it turns out that Third Prince is here.
This is Commander Xu's place, This Highness is only here to see my friends.
The two of them had just finished their business, and the room hadn't even started to get fresh air when the door opened. The smell of a man drifted out.
Commander Xu was also a normal man, so he naturally knew what this meant. His face darkened, and he started to despise these two more.
However, he did not dare reveal his intentions in front of the Third Prince. He could only say in a businesslike manner: “I hope that Third Prince understands. The Emperor has specifically instructed me to make up for this three month shift of Huo Tian's, to not neglect this even for a moment.”
“Since it is a official, this prince will not stop you, but this prince is going out of the palace now, and has asked for envoy Huo to escort you, does Commander Xu have any objections?”
Of course the Commander Xu had his opinions, but since the other party was asking him openly, he could not refute. The guards in the palace were all there to serve the imperial family, so it was not out of bounds for a prince to send an envoy to escort them out.
“Your humble servant dares not, since Your Highness has instructed me to do so, Commander Huo, please go and return as soon as possible, don't let the proper matters slip by.”
Yin Xu did not say a word from the beginning till the end, and waited for Third Prince's etiquette to arrive in a hurry. Only then, did Teng Yu pull him over and rush to the palace gate together with his.
The carriage was given to him by the emperor when Teng Yu just left the palace. According to the crown prince's rules, many people thought that the emperor wanted to make the Third Prince his crown prince, and almost spat out blood due to anger.
There was no need to make any introductions about what kind of character the Third Prince had back then. Who would dare to calmly hand over the martial arts to a prince like this? Wasn't that committing a crime?
Teng Yu intentionally ordered her to walk slower, but even if she had to walk slower, the palace gates were still just in front of her.
“Be careful in the palace. Don't let others plot against you. Remember to keep the name list that I gave you on record. Find them if you need anything.” Teng Yu chattered on and on the whole way, and those who didn't know what happened would think that Yin Xu was really a child that hadn't grown up yet.
Although Yin Xu was annoyed by his words, she knew what he was thinking, so she did not interrupt him and waited for him to finish nagging before saying, “These people were people that you buried with great difficulty, are you not afraid that I would dig up all of your secrets?”
“If there are no spies, we can set them up again. If something happens to you, how are you going to let me live?” Teng Yu said while hugging Yin Xu.
Yin Xu elbowed him, “Seems like you haven't lived for the past 18 years.”
“That's right. Only after knowing you can I truly be considered alive. In the past, I could only be considered muddle-headed and live my life like that.”
“Stop talking …” “We're here.” Yin Xu opened his hands, straightened his clothes, and looked back at him, “Don't be so nervous, even if all the people in the world are dead, I still won't die.”
How could it be so easy to take his life?
Right now, his life was already so simple that it was borderline boring. If it wasn't for the fact that Yin Xu could bear the loneliness and had a lover, it would be hard to say if he would do something that was out of line.
The two parted ways at the entrance of the palace. There were quite a number of officials and guards that came and went as they witnessed this scene. It was a scene that almost blinded the eyes of this group of people.
“Didn't you say that Third Prince is getting married soon? Why haven't these two been cut off yet? “
“So what? All those who have good eyes will know that the emperor forced them to marry each other. Who would care whose bed the Third Prince was in? “
“Then isn't Li in politics …” “Haha …”
“Don't worry about it. The Li family has the Duke of Qin as their backer. Maybe he has other tricks up his sleeve.”
“Hush, let's not bother about the Li Family for now, just look at Inferior Prime Minister's face …” Someone tugged at the man's sleeve, motioning him to look behind.
“Yo, I almost forgot. It wasn't just one marriage bestowed by the Emperor.”
“I have to say, what losses does the Li Family have to be to only have one daughter to climb the great tree of the Third Prince? What's pitiful is the Inferior Prime Minister, he only has this one granddaughter, a precious treasure that is like an eyeball. Marrying someone like the Seventh Young Master Huo … “Eh, that's what you call a loss.”
“That might not be the case. The Huo Family s are not low either, if these two families get married, it would be a waste for both civil and martial arts. At that time, how would the other families still be involved in the Imperial Court? If it were me, I don't care if he likes women or not, but rather if he has been sent to his doorstep by a man like that. “
“It's not like you don't know that the Inferior Prime Minister and the Marshal Huo are at odds. The two families are almost enemies, and now they want to dig out the Prime Minister's eyeballs to give to the enemy. What do you think about them?”
“That's true.”
Teng Yu and Yin Xu had very good hearing, and could hear the conversations around them. The two of them looked at each other helplessly, and criticised the other at the same time: We were obviously the ones who suffered the most, what does it have to do with others?
That night, Yin Xu slipped outside the Emperor's Bedroom Hall and strutted past the guards. Upon entering, he saw a few unfamiliar palace maids and eunuchs standing obediently in the outer hall, and familiar moans came from inside.
Yin Xu raised his brows, he did not expect that the emperor would have such a leisurely time. It seemed that his body was not as bad as the rumors outside.
Maybe what Teng Yu said really hit the mark. The Emperor probably wanted to use this opportunity to lure out the masterminds, and hide in the Bedroom Hall to see everyone's reactions.
Yin Xu had no interest in watching the Spring Palace live. He walked straight towards the place where the censer was placed.
He glanced at the closed window, walked around the room to the backyard, and stood by each flower for a moment before he was sure he had smelled right.
The person who had administered the medicine probably knew that the fragrance would be easily discernible after the windows were closed at night, so he carefully removed the medicine.
Yin Xu walked around the courtyard, and when he did not find anything abnormal, he went back to his house. Coincidentally, an concubine who was sent to help him came out from her room, and when the two of them met, Yin Xu immediately recognized her.
Isn't that the person who gave a dance at the Shenlu Mountain Palace?
The other party was naturally unable to see Yin Xu, so he tiredly pulled up the muslin covering his body. Her hair was loose, and his face was still flushed red from being in love.
Yin Xu did not have the slightest sense of shame, to him, human body structure was nothing more than that, other than Teng Yu, no one else could arouse his lust.
