Chapter 116 - Your Highness' Endurance Is Admirable for His Inferiority

“Royal Mother, Royal Father had someone search Concubine Yang's Bedroom Hall.” The First Prince entered the palace early in the morning to pay a visit to Imperial Consort Yun. With regards to what had happened in the palace, Imperial Consort Yun kept a secret from him and only told him that Concubine Yang had plotted against her, only to be exposed instead.

The First Prince knew that things were not that simple. However, this matter was forbidden from every corner of the palace, and his eyes could not find an answer.

But it didn't matter if they didn't, since it was them who won in the end, while the Concubine Yang's mother and son wouldn't be able to jump for a long time.

Imperial Consort Yun leaned against the headboard, as the two palace maids meticulously tended to her fingernails and toenails. Her face was still pale, but when she saw her son walk in, she nervously looked at him a few times, making sure that he was alright.

Although Hidden Cloud Mage and Daoist Void had said that there was nothing wrong, that the Lich Gu was probably created in a hurry and had not descended in time, only looking at the terrifying scene, the Imperial Consort Yun did not dare to be careless. Every day, the First Prince had to enter the palace, and there would always be people following him.

“Royal Mother, your son is fine, you don't have to worry too much.” The First Prince had enjoyed a great deal of maternal and paternal love in the past few days, and he was feeling rather happy.

“That's good, but be careful.” The Imperial Consort Yun waved her hand to dismiss the palace maid, pulling the First Prince over to her side. “Did you just say that the Emperor sent people to search Concubine Yang's Bedroom Hall?”

“Yeah, he seems to be looking for something.”

Imperial Consort Yun lowered her eyes. What else could she look for, it was most likely related to that evil being, only that Concubine Yang was definitely not stupid, why would she leave any evidence in her Bedroom Hall.

But to have such an attitude, it was enough for them to know that the Concubine Yang had lost her favour outside the palace.

“Oh right, today is a good day for the princess of Luo Qiu Country to marry Teng Ji. Unfortunately, Royal Father does not have the mood to do so, so they only allowed people to carry the princess into the palace.”

“It's just a side concubine, and a sister like that. Do you still want to achieve great things?” Imperial Consort Yun looked down upon this kind of princess from a small country. Seeing the good deed that the one in front of him had done, she humph, it was even worse than an ordinary daughter from a noble family.

The First Prince did not think this way, “This matter was Second Brother's fault in the first place. Logically speaking, the Royal Father should have been more cautious in order to pacify the country.

“Didn't he say that your Royal Father has stopped his actions?” The corners of Imperial Consort Yun's mouth revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

The First Prince nodded, his eyes carrying a smile as well. “Yeah, he said he had to copy the scriptures a hundred times in the manor. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to take even a single step outside the gates.”

“This is letting him off too easily, it's impossible for a tiger to devour its prey ...” Imperial Consort Yun did not really want the Emperor to kill Second Brother just because of this matter.

The mother and son talked for a while longer. In truth, Imperial Consort Yun's body wasn't too injured, but she was still too scared and worried about the First Prince's health. She pretended to act in front of the Emperor and laid on the bed for a few days.

A Young Eunuch who was outside kowtowed and said, “Empress, there is news from outside that Third Prince has found it.”

“So be it. What else is there to report?” The Imperial Consort Yun did not mind, but she was a little disappointed, why did that bastard not just die outside?

Amongst the other two princes, the one she truly detested was Teng Yu. His existence constantly reminded her how she had lowered herself to be her concubine, and how she had lowered herself in front of that slut if she were to give up her husband.

Even though the Emperor remembered her kindness, it was a great humiliation in the eyes of outsiders.

“I heard that Third Prince suffered an attack at Shenlu Mountain and was heavily injured.”

“Why is he being attacked again? “Hehe, it seems like there are quite a few people who want to kill me. Since they know that I want to recruit thieves, they should just stay at home.” The Imperial Consort Yun snorted coldly.

The First Prince frowned, “Royal Mother, send someone to scout outside and see if anyone is purposely framing us.”

The Imperial Consort Yun smiled proudly. “No need, don't worry, there might not be two people who would do this kind of thing. The emperor is not an idiot, how can he believe it all the time? Furthermore, at a time like this, other than the Concubine Yang, the first thing he should suspect is that the other party has deliberately set us up. “

Although the First Prince felt that nothing was absolute, he had been keeping a low profile for the past few days, allowing others to catch him without making a mistake.

The Emperor gestured to the First Prince and continued to ask Teng Yu, “What happened next? Did they say anything after they attacked you? “What are the results?”

“Before we acted, I heard the leader say something, it seemed to be ... “If you can't catch the main character, you'll have to bring a small fish or shrimp to report back.” Teng Yu coughed twice as he held onto his chest, his pale face revealing an unusual shade of red.

“Where's the imperial physician? “Why aren't you here yet?” The emperor roared towards the outside and immediately saw two imperial physicians being led in by eunuchs.

“Greetings, Your Majesty ...”

“Forget it, come over here and take a look at them.” The Emperor gave way and continued to stand guard at the side.

The two imperial physicians were told before they came that they were here to see the injuries of Third Prince and Lord Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters, so they quickly went to check on the external injuries of Teng Yu and his.

“Seventh Young Master's wounds are not many, it's not considered serious, and the medicine is suitable. As long as you don't touch water in the near future, it's fine.”

Yin Xu thought, if this old man knew that he was still soaking in the water yesterday, who knew what he would think.

“Third Prince has many wounds on his body, all caused by sharp weapons. The most serious one is the one on his leg, this humble servant recommends that Your Highness rest on the bed for a few days.”

The two imperial physicians began to mutter in their hearts. Logically speaking, these injuries should have been left over from several days ago, but it was clearly yesterday. How could he recover so quickly?

However, Third Prince was blessed, and it was normal for him to have some good medicine, it was just that no one knew which genius doctor it was from.

The Emperor nodded. “Take a look at their pulse to see if they are hurt inside.”

The two imperial physicians agreed. Even if the emperor hadn't said anything, they would have taken his pulse anyway.

“How is it?” The First Prince saw that their expressions weren't right and asked anxiously. He felt that Teng Yu was the one who caused this incident, and wasn't it to make the Royal Father pity him?

The bigger he was, the better he knew how to play tricks. For the sake of being a fighter's pet, he even used this kind of self-injuring method.

“Third Prince's inner breathing is in disorder, most likely due to severe internal injuries.” The imperial physician reached out his hand and pressed it against Teng Yu's chest. “Your Highness, sorry for the offense.”

Teng Yu groaned, his face suddenly changed, the weather was so cold that sweat started to appear on his forehead.

“His Highness's internal organs were severely injured, but he still felt his chest stuffy, and even his breathing felt painful?”

Teng Yu nodded with a pale face, and added, “After he was injured, he vomited blood a few times, but I'm afraid that his insides were injured.”

The old imperial physician thought for a while, and got Teng Yu to open his mouth to inspect the injury before he said to the emperor, “The Third Prince's internal organs must have suffered from some serious injury, some slight internal bleeding. This kind of injury requires an expert to help the Third Prince recuperate for a while, it's just that in the past few days, the Third Prince must have suffered some internal injuries.

When the First Prince heard this answer, he was stunned. He once again looked at Teng Yu and realised that although his face did not look good, he did not show an expression that was as painful as a blade.

The emperor also had a complicated expression on his face as he observed Teng Yu. It was as if he wouldn't pay attention to the words and actions of this son of his anymore.

The Emperor didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He was slightly disappointed, slightly puzzled, and at the same time gratified.

He had always known that Teng Yu was a smart child, who had displayed talent that stood out from the masses when he was very young.

If he could nurture this son of his from a young age, wouldn't he be an outstanding successor now?

As long as he thought about how the Empress Liu died, he would not be able to face her son with his normal mentality.

But why did he always remember that dead woman these days? Those bits and pieces that he had forgotten all appeared out of the blue. Could it be because he had seen too many Consort Rong?
