Chapter 170 - I Can't Sleep Without Seeing Him for a Day

Yin Xu was too lazy to guess Huo Yidao's motive, and he did not intend to divulge the news to Huo Family. From their conversation, Huo Family was not dangerous for the time being, so the Emperor's real guard was only to have his Huo Family suddenly change sides.

Seeing that Huo Yidao had left through the secret passage, Yin Xu also stood up and left. Just as he turned around, he heard a series of loud coughing sounds coming from behind him.

He subconsciously turned his head around and saw the Emperor leaning on the headboard, clutching his chest and coughing heavily. He hurriedly walked over and stood before the bed to observe the Emperor's expression.

The emperor had already stopped coughing and was breathing heavily with his eyes closed. Judging from the fingers on his chest, this was not the first time he was in this state.

But when he saw the Emperor during the day, he could not see that he was so ill. That was why he thought that the person behind the scenes had used drugs that weren't some deadly poison.

“Someone ...” The Emperor shouted hoarsely.

However, the palace maids and eunuchs that served outside were chased away by him, so he could only call out Dark Guard's voice.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?” Someone came out of the shadows and knelt three paces from the bed.

“Medicine...” The emperor said a single word, and the other party immediately crawled up and took out a medicine bottle from the secret compartment, walking over to serve the emperor to consume it.

Yin Xu intentionally observed the bottle of medicine, just by looking at it, it was obvious that he did not know what effect it had, but from the smell, it seemed more like a Profound Spirit Pill.

This kind of pill could help an ordinary person strengthen their constitution for a short period of time, removing hundreds of illnesses. It was similar to immortal pills, but anyone who consumed such a pill would be afflicted with pill poison.

The emperor had indeed improved after taking the medicine. His complexion was rosy and his spirit was at a hundred times stronger. One could even see that he was in high spirits.

This was not the first time he was in this state. The Dark Guard probed: “Your Majesty, do you want to summon people?”

The emperor paused before closing his eyes and ordering, “Go to a secret palace and find a palace maid. There is no need to spread the word.”

The Dark Guard replied and quickly disappeared from the room. Yin Xu thought that the Emperor probably wanted to find someone to vent his anger on and didn't want others to know.

He did not intend to continue watching how the Emperor doted on women, so he left first. He waited until there was no one around before removing the Invisibility Charm. As he walked, he thought about the Emperor's body.

It was inevitable that he would be poisoned, but it was obvious that the pill poison was even deeper in his body.

He planned to go again during the day and clarify the matter of the strange fragrance first. When he was in the palace, he always wanted to know who his opponent was who was hiding in the dark.

When he returned to his room, the guards on duty also came back in twos and threes. It was easier to relax during the night, so when it was almost dawn, these people liked to get together and talk and gamble.

At least Yin Xu was a commander, a small leader. Although the people below couldn't accept it, they all saw that he was doing his job very well on the surface.

It was unknown whether or not the matter of him messing with Teng Yu had spread out, but everyone looked at him strangely. However, because of his identity, no one dared to say anything to him.

It was rare for him to be so concerned about the emperor's body, so the palace maid naturally told him everything that she knew. Teng Yu's will was not here, and as she spoke, she asked: “I've used up all the Dragon's Saliva in this palace, is there anything unnecessary in this palace?”

“This servant doesn't know. I'll have to ask Manager Lai about this.” The court lady suddenly became terrified.

Of course Teng Yu knew that she did not know, he frowned and said, “Ask him? He can say yes or no... Forget it, I'll just take it and ask the Royal Father. “

As he spoke, he walked straight towards the incense burner. His nose moved slightly, and indeed, he smelled a strange fragrance.

“Did you order this incense burner today?”

“Yes.”

“Perfect.” As he spoke, he extinguished the incense burner and directly carried her into the Emperor's room.

“Your Highness, this ...” The palace maid ran behind to chase him for a while. Seeing that Teng Yu was determined to bring the censer away, he did not dare say much.

While Teng Yu was walking on the road, he quickly retrieved some Dragon's Saliva from the censer and hid it inside his sleeves.

When he saw the emperor, Teng Yu asked for things immediately. In the past, as long as the things he wanted were not excessive, the emperor would not be in a bad mood, and would generally achieve his goals.

However, the emperor had made that kind of guess last night. He looked at Teng Yu with extremely deep and obscure eyes, so naturally, he rejected Teng Yu's request.

“Although the Dragon's Saliva isn't anything valuable, I have been too used to you using whatever sort of identity you have in the past, so much so that all the people in the imperial court would be prejudiced against you. From today onwards, I will pay attention to it and not let them throw any dirty water on you.”

“What does that have to do with them? This son just likes this taste and has gotten used to it. “

“This isn't a good habit, I have to change it!”

Teng Yu knew that he had steeled his heart to make things difficult for himself, so he did not force the issue. He threw the censer on the table and said willfully, “If you don't want to give it to me, then so be it.

He glanced at the ambergris that leaked out from the incense burner. He wasn't sure if he was hoping for the Emperor to discover the abnormality of the incense or if he didn't want him to.

If the Emperor had been unable to discover it, he thought, it might not be far from the end of his life. No matter how he looked at it, it was a good thing.

The corners of the emperor's mouth widened as he lightly said, “If there's nothing else, you can leave. I know that you didn't come specially to see me anyway.”

Teng Yu's expression was a little embarrassed, “What Royal Father said is not right, I am naturally worried for my Royal Father's health, it is just that you have kept Huo Tian in the palace, so I naturally came to see him.”

“Humph!” You can't even bear to see him for a day! “

Teng Yu nodded calmly, and said numbly: “That's right, your son couldn't sleep once he hadn't seen him for a day.”

“Boom!” When the Emperor heard this, he nearly threw him out.
