Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 261 - Is It Not Because of You

Teng Yu successfully won the favor of the few Huo Family brothers with the time it took to eat a meal. Everyone had held back towards him before as well, since Teng Yu's dark history was really too great.

However, after truly interacting with him, he discovered that not only was Third Prince very upright, his speech was humorous, his knowledge was vast, and he could speak clearly on both matters of the court and the army. Even his youngest brother-in-law was able to speak a few words with him.

The Huo Yiming unknowingly drank a few more cups, his head was already spinning, he patted Teng Yu's shoulders and solemnly swore to be good to his family's Seventh Elder, although the imperial edict requested for Teng Yu to not take in concubines, but if he did not take in concubines, he could still take in pets, ah, there were a lot of male pets.

Yin Xu felt that he had shamed himself, so he downed a bottle of wine and knocked the person down, leaving the rest of the rascals behind him. He only allowed them to drink a cup or two to satisfy his craving.

Yin Xu had grown up in the Huo Mansion and was not close to his family's brothers. In the beginning, everyone still had some doubts towards him, but after he had done so many important things, no one looked down on him anymore.

Teng Yu sent them back safely. After handing them over to the butler, he carried his fiancé back to the Third Prince Mansion under the butler's disapproving gaze.

The moment the two of them entered the door, they saw Han Sen walking over with an ashen face.

Yin Xu even asked jokingly, “Who caused Steward Han to be so angry? Could it be this Young Master? “

Han Sen bowed to him, “Of course not, it's the mansion's staff who are making a ruckus to leave. This servant has locked them up in the backyard, waiting for Your Highness to order them to leave.”

“Yo, what's going on? Weren't all of them still loyal before? How did this young master change in just a few days? “

Han Sen thought: It's all because of you!

“Your servant doesn't know either.” It wasn't good for Han Sen to explain his reason in front of Yin Xu, so he asked Teng Yu: “Your Highness, do you want to take a look?” These people were all truly talented in the eyes of the Third Prince, and they even knew a lot of secrets about Third Prince Mansion. It would definitely not be that simple for them to leave.

Yin Xu was not stupid, he could probably guess the reason, “This young master will also go with me, let's see who's the ones who is dissatisfied with this young master.”

Teng Yu pulled his hand, and hugged his, “Don't go, look at your body reeking of alcohol, first come with me to bathe and change.” He whispered something into Yin Xu's ear as he bit his, and then he saw Yin Xu push him away and turn to leave. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Teng Yu pursed his lips and instructed Han Sen: “There's no need to look. Go and ask them again, if they really don't want to stay in the palace, then let them go.”

Han Sen frowned and asked worriedly: “But they all know a lot about the matters of the palace.”

Teng Yu laughed coldly, and continued: “Let them leave the Third Prince Mansion first, send people to follow them, we'll make our move three days later.”

Han Sen immediately understood, “This servant understands, and will arrange it now.”

“They should have already known this from the moment they entered the Third Prince Mansion! “How can we just come and go like that?” Teng Yu did not immediately get rid of them in his residence, it was mainly because he was thinking about the feelings of the remaining people, after all, it was not a glorious matter, and he did not want to affect the attitude of the rest.

When Teng Yu returned to the Scenic Garden and did not see Yin Xu's figure, he knew that had gone to the Bath of Water. He sat in the room for a while longer before calling Han Qing in.

He wrote down the names of the officials on the paper and gave them to Han Qing, “Go and find out what these people intend to do to impeach Marshal Huo, and if there is any evidence, then send people to watch their every move.”

Han Qing took the paper, glanced at it, memorized the person's name, and then burned the note.

“Your Highness, do we need to give our all to help Huo Family to overcome this calamity?”

Teng Yu shook his head, “No need, with the strength of Huo Family, how could we help? You just need to send more people to watch, it's fine as long as nothing happens, we are not suitable to be involved in this matter.”

Originally, people had already criticized his Third Prince Mansion and Huo Mansion because of his relationship with Yin Xu. If he had stood out and spoke up for Huo Family this time, it would be easy for him to push his Huo Family into a dilemma instead.

However, as the events that followed, the citizens became more uncertain. If he still stood out and spoke up for Huo Family, they would go from being weak to becoming the Third Prince's allies, and the identity of the weak would no longer be valid.

Huo Family had always been a special existence, and political battles in the imperial government rarely spread to Huo Family. His independence had created his reputation, and this point must not be easily broken.

He thought that since the Emperor bestowed the marriage to him at this time, it would also be because of this point. If he could destroy the independence of Huo Family, then the reputation of the Huo Family would not be so stable.

When Yin Xu returned from his bath, he sat opposite Teng Yu with his butt in front of him and stared at him without saying anything.

Teng Yu got goosebumps from being stared at, and subconsciously touched his face, “What's wrong? Is there something on my face? “

He carried her onto his lap and used his internal energy to dry his hair. Smelling her fragrance, he smiled and said, “This time's soap is not bad. Do you like it?”

Teng Yu had a keen sense of smell, and normally, he hated people who smelled good the most. Hence, the servants in the residence never dared to use things that smelled too strong on their body.

Yin Xu did not like these, so the smell of the soap in their baths could not be any lighter. If not for the smell, Teng Yu would not have allowed people to add more spices to the baths.

Yin Xu lifted his arm and took a whiff, but he did not smell any fragrance, so he pinched his nose and asked: “What nose is this?”

He remembered that after the two of them cultivated together, they had to use some ointment, and these ointment were usually made into various scents. Teng Yu would sneeze sometimes when he smelled the ointment.

After that, Yin Xu had to make some ointment to cure the disharmony.

Teng Yu rubbed his nose with the tip of his nose and said proudly, “It's probably the nose of a deity.”

The two of them did not sleep well last night, so after talking for a while, they went to rest together. It was only when the time came that they were called out.

“Your Highness, the palace suddenly summoned the Marshal Huo into the palace, and at the same time, the various Pavilion Elders were also summoned.”

“Do you know what it is?”

“Just now, Yang Hu's body was brought into the palace. His Majesty had requested for a coroner to examine it, I think the result is out.”

Teng Yu thought for a moment, then let Yin Xu go and change his clothes, “You are the Young Master of Huo Family, and also the Commander of the Palace. You can enter the Palace in broad daylight.”

Even though Huo Zhengquan was strong, he was a little stubborn, and believed in the theory that “the ruler wants the subject and subject to death”. If the emperor made a move in the palace, he was afraid that Huo Zhengquan would not understand how to retaliate.

If it was a few days ago, he probably wouldn't care about Huo Zhengquan's life or death, but now that the other party had let go, he should act a little more magnanimously.

After Yin Xu entered the palace, he first went to the guard camp to inquire about the news. The ones who spread the news the fastest were the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards.

Everyone also knew that someone had schemed against the Huo Family, and one by one, they told the news that they knew to Yin Xu. However, to avoid the eyes and ears of the Commander Xu, everyone knew that their commander and their Third Prince were not on good terms.

“Seventh Young Master, I heard that the cause of death of Yang Hu has been investigated, and the possibility of suicide has been eliminated.

Yin Xu's eyes flashed, “Aren't the security in the Sky Prison extremely tight? It's only been one night and he's already dead, and no one has discovered anything?”

“Sigh, although the prison guards are very tight, there are too many people here. It's very difficult to save someone from inside, but it's much easier to kill them.”

“How did Yang Hu die?”

“I'm not too sure about that, but I heard there's no other wound on his body other than his ten fingers. He was probably poisoned.” the guard said uncertainly.

This time, the emperor was very concerned about it. Ever since Yang Hu died, his corpse had been guarded by soldiers, and the coroner had not stepped out of the palace since he entered.

“Many thanks. I'll treat you to wine another day.”

“The Seventh Young Master is too polite, we are also not used to seeing Huo Family being framed. It can be said that the one that we warriors admire the most is the Marshal Huo, and the one we value the most is the Huo Family Army. It is a pity that we cannot help much.”

“It's alright, it's good that you guys have such intentions. To be able to trust Huo Family is already a big help.”

“Hehe, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me, our royal guards are of good birth, and our martial arts are not bad either, but to go to the bitter and cold lands in the northwest to fight, there are few who are willing, and only with Huo Family Army, we can peacefully enjoy ourselves in the capital, right?”

“I heard that there were war in the year of the Northwest, battles and small wars constantly, and it was only because our Huo Family Army was guarded well that our peace was found. Those who want to scheme against our Huo Family should die, if they have the guts, they should go to the northwest and fight against the barbarians!”

Yin Xu only smiled when he heard this. He remembered that Teng Yu had once said that in the beginning of this matter, the efforts of the crowd would be made to protect the Huo Family, to protect Huo Zhengquan.

But as time passed, if they did not use any methods to allow the other party to continuously splash dirty water on Huo Zhengquan, no matter how innocent they were, they would still be stained with a layer of dirt. At that time, everyone's thoughts would change completely.

It takes years, even decades, for a person to build a good image, but to destroy a person's image, one thing is often enough.
