Chapter 279 - I Have Treated You Well
As the days went by, the people in the palace were panicking. At the beginning, the emperor was still in a state of rage, but gradually, he calmed down.
Teng Yu and the emperor had a rare peaceful dinner, but the two of them had no appetite and stopped after a few mouthfuls.
“We still remember that when Empress Liu was around, our family of three would often eat together. Your mother's culinary skills are very good, and the dishes she cooked couldn't even compare to the imperial chef.” the Emperor said with a look of reminiscence.
Of course, Teng Yu wouldn't forget that at that time, the Emperor still needed to use his Liu Family to create a good husband for his wife and son. He didn't have any impression of his mother's culinary skills, but for a daughter, her culinary skills were limited.
I'm afraid that what the Emperor misses is only that simple heart.
“Your son can't remember. In recent years, I have forgotten what my mother looked like.” Teng Yu said deliberately.
“You really hate me, don't you? If I give you a chance, you will definitely put me to death! “
“Royal Father is joking.” Teng Yu smirked, “The person who truly wanted you dead is outside the palace. When has my mother ever had any other thoughts? How could the Liu Family have any other intentions? It's just you fooling yourself. “
“I ...” “I can't help it.”
Teng Yu scoffed, he did not want to continue discussing this meaningless problem with him, “Royal Father, why not think of a way to break out of this trap, in a few more hours, we will begin the attack.”
“Is there any other way besides waiting?” The emperor was rather calm. “I wonder what's going on outside the palace. Aren't you worried about the safety of your estate?”
“What's there to worry about? When Huo Tian left the capital, there wasn't even anyone in the mansion who could make the decision. Even if he was taken away by a traitor, he was only missing a dead object.”
“That might not be the case, your mansion's property is extremely touching. It is said that Huo Tian had stolen some money in the southwest, we don't believe that, and you guys aren't short on money.”
Teng Yu said: “Royal Father is wise.” But in his heart he thought: “Not short on money doesn't mean that you don't love money. Why not take some?”
However, he did not do so. Instead, he invested a portion of his wealth into the mines in Hui State, and the other part he transferred to Jiangnan. After the Pirate was settled this time, he planned to expand the navy and groom a strong army that could protect the commoners in the coastal area.
Teng Yu went to the imperial harem to visit the Fourth Prince. The child cried the moment he opened his eyes, and only when he was tired from crying did he go to sleep.
The Consort Rong sat on the ground in a frenzy, with several big boxes of items in front of him, all of which were bestowed by the Emperor when she was born.
“So you're a blood brother after all. I didn't expect you to be so kind.” The emperor's voice sounded from behind him.
Teng Yu frowned and turned around, “Royal Father has thought too much, when have I ever been kind? Just to see when he died. “
The more he spoke, the more relaxed the emperor's expression became, “I know that you have complaints about the Consort Rong, and I also deeply feel that I have let down your mother. But things have already come to this point, how can there be a knot that cannot be untied?
“It's just a fence-sitter.” Surprisingly, the emperor was not too angry. However, since the palace door was wide open, there was no longer a need to guard it.
“Protect the Royal Father and return to the main hall.” Teng Yu calmly ordered, he took the long blade from a guard and rushed towards the rebel army.
“Your Highness, you can't!” Naturally, the guards could not let a prince go against the rebel army, while he himself hid behind them. Moreover, how many people could the Third Prince alone fend off?
The bodyguards were too busy protecting the emperor and the Third Prince as they retreated. It wasn't until they retreated back to the Chengde Hall and the door was closed that the damage of the arrows started to lessen. However, the corpses that were left behind were still extremely shocking.
The emperor sat high up on the dragon throne, waiting for the bandits to come in.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sounds of footsteps outside became louder and louder. The fire illuminated the entire hall, and it also reflected the faces of the people who were trying their best to resist from panicking.
Many of the guards in the palace were descendants of officials, so naturally, there was no lack of people from Yun Heran's line. That Yun Heran forced the palace without warning, but these people did not get the news beforehand, they were obviously abandoned.
The door was kicked open with a “clang” sound, Yun Heran, dressed in armor, walked in majestically.
“Impudent!” Does General Yun know the punishment for causing trouble? ” Chief Minister Qu stood in front of the Emperor, his white and fat body acting as a natural barrier.
suddenly thought of Lai Jiquan. Previously, the Dark Guard had investigated on something, that Lai Jiquan was not at ease in his Sky Prison, and Yang Hu, who accused him, died in his hands.
In terms of inner strength, this old eunuch was not weaker than Huo Zhengquan, but Yang Hu's heart was shattered by the expert's inner force, his Yun Family was trying to frame Huo Zhengquan, but was destroyed by Yin Xu's underhanded plan.
“Haha ...” How could this subject be considered to have committed an offense? This subject heard that there was someone in the palace with smallpox. I was afraid that the emperor would infect them, so I intentionally brought people to the palace to protect their emperor's safety! “
“Yun Heran, we have been good to you!” The Emperor pushed the Chief Minister Qu aside and stood on the stage.
When the Emperor was still a prince, his Yun Family had helped you to ascend to the throne. His Yun Family should have been filled with wealth and glory, and even the First Prince should have been the eldest son's grandson! This throne should be passed down to the First Prince, don't you think? “
“Humph!” In terms of contribution, the Liu Family has to do with everything, but we would rather repay the kindness with hatred, and transfer the authority of the Liu Family to the Yun Family, what more do you have to be dissatisfied with? “
“Your majesty, those are the past years of history.” Yun Heran raised his head slightly, and said haughtily: “Those years, you were indeed good to the Yun Family, and were also good to the Imperial Consort's Empress and the First Prince.
However, don't forget how you have treated your younger sister and the First Prince in the past two years.
“Of course there is. Before today, Yi'er is still my favorite prince.” When the emperor said this, he completely forgot that Teng Yu was still standing in the palace. Of course, not many people believed him.
“Haha, is what you said not against the heart? Your favorite, the First Prince, is going to give his place as Crown Prince to a newborn vile spawn! Why don't you ask Third Prince what he thinks? ” Yun Heran turned to look at Teng Yu, his eyes filled with killing intent. He truly felt that he had chosen a good time to kill the two of them.
When Huo Zhengquan returned and everything was settled, would he be able to rebel?
“What about the unfilial son? Why was he still hiding behind his back and not daring to show his face? I am truly disappointed in him! ” The Emperor did not see the First Prince amongst the crowd and could not help but feel infuriated.
