Chapter 280 - Treat Others in Their Own Way
“Your Majesty is clear that the First Prince is currently recuperating in the palace as if he was infected with smallpox. The Empress is extremely worried and has accompanied him closely. It is precisely because of this that this subject has no choice but to bring people to the palace to protect Your Majesty!”
Yun Heran's words were profound and righteous, those who did not know about it would praise him for his loyalty.
The corner of Teng Yu's mouth curled up. “General Yun, you're overthinking it. Your royal brother only touched Fourth Brother's clothes. This hall has personally held that child before, how could something so easily happen to him?”
Yun Heran looked at him in shock, and then said anxiously: “Your Highness, you can't be so careless. There is no cure for these smallpox, what if it spreads to the emperor, wouldn't you intentionally cause sickness to the emperor?”
Not only did Yun Heran speak out for the First Prince, he was even blaming Teng Yu for acting rashly. It was fine if he was ill, but what if he passed those words down to the Emperor?
If not for the fact that the emperor knew that the other party was here to force the palace into submission, he might have been persuaded by his words.
“My beloved official is so concerned about me. I'm deeply comforted, but there are plenty of imperial physicians in the palace. A small smallpox like this really doesn't need to be supported by so many people. My beloved official should go back.”
“Your Majesty, please forgive me, but this subject cannot accept your order. If by any chance you and the Third Prince get sick, this subject will be responsible for your safety.”
“General Yun wants to imprison this hall and this Royal Father and make it known to the public that us father and son have been infected with smallpox and then allow the First Prince to ascend the throne in name and reason, right?”
Yun Heran pulled out his sword, and pointed at Teng Yu: “Your Highness, do not be too smart, this subject is doing this just in case.”
“Well said. Didn't you say that even royal brother is suspected to have contracted an illness?” Why not have him accompany us? “
“There's no need for that. The First Prince is already recuperating in the Residence. It's not good for him to move around.”
“Thief!” Who dares to cause trouble, why must you be so hypocritical? Do you think that just by killing us, Third Prince, Teng Yi can ascend the throne as he wished? “Without my royal decree, he can forget about it!”
“Your Majesty ...” Yun Heran took a few steps forward, and said with a low voice: “Have you forgotten how you ascended to the throne back then? This subject has only learned how to act! “
“Bullshit!” I have never done anything so outrageous as forcing a palace! “
“Your Majesty, please calm your anger. You didn't force your way to the palace, but that imperial edict ...” Yun Heran chuckled, and did not reveal anything. Back then, they were just grasshoppers on a string, who didn't know whose conduct and behavior they were in?
But now, how could it be so easy for the Emperor to destroy the bridge after crossing the river?
He ordered, “Men, move the Emperor and the Third Prince to the Heartrest Palace. Then, all of you sirs are invited to the palace to discuss an important matter.”
Those that followed Yun Heran to force the palace were his troops in the northeast. They only recognized generals but not tiger talismans.
Teng Yu had killed more than ten soldiers with a single slash. With an imposing aura that shot through the sky like a rainbow, he said coldly, “General Yun, do you think that just these people alone can take us down?”
“I have long heard of the Third Prince's powerful martial arts. Yun Heran clapped his hands, and leisurely praised: “Your Highness has endured all these years, you should be thinking about taking revenge, why don't we make a deal?”
The emperor panted and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body slanted to the Dragon Throne.
“Your Majesty ...” What's the matter with you? ” Chief Minister Qu was the first to rush up, supporting the emperor to wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth, he called out: “Your Majesty ... Your Majesty ... “Don't let anything happen to you ...”
Teng Yu walked over and checked the Emperor's pulse, telling him to give the Emperor the protective heart pill that the had prepared. “Royal Father is extremely angry, and needs to recuperate.”
“Your Highness ...” The Chief Minister Qu looked at Teng Yu with expectation, completely treating him as his pillar.
Seeing that the emperor had fainted, Yun Heran said with a face full of anxiety, “Hurry and help the emperor to the Heart Nourishment Hall. If you ask for more medicine, the emperor must have contracted a disease!”
“Hold on!” Teng Yu looked down at him condescendingly, a cold smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, “General Yun, why don't you carefully look at the back. This Chengde Hall, when did it become your turn to give orders?”
Just as Yun Heran was about to mock him, he heard a soldier shouting from behind, “General! It's the people from the Capital Camp. “
Yun Heran's smile froze, he frowned, he had long instructed them to guard the city gates well, not to worry about anything else, why would they suddenly enter the palace?
“Where's Old dog Yun?” “You traitor, quickly come out and accept your death!” A furious roar sounded through the Chengde Hall, startling Yun Heran.
“Qixin? “How come he's not dead yet?” He had clearly ordered his men to deal with this Barbaric Cow first!
“Haha ...” If you want this general's life, this general must give it to you? ” Qixin rode on his horse and rushed in, behind him were many soldiers, “Old dog! if you don't come out to die! “
With just a glance, Yun Heran could tell that the horses Qixin had brought with him were not just his subordinates, he brought with him the entire Capital Camp.
“Where are the other generals?” What did you do to them? “
“Naturally, it is to return the favor back to him! “Kill him!” Qixin secretly rejoiced, luckily the Third Prince let him be on guard in advance, and even sent a few experts to protect him, if not, he would have been split up by now.
Teng Yu put his hands behind his back and looked at Yun Heran sternly, “General Zhi Ji, take down the traitor Yun Heran! “We won't care about life and death!”
“Yes sir!” Qixin shouted loudly, “Brothers, it's time to protect Master with loyalty, long live Your Majesty, and capture the traitor!”
“Long live Your Majesty ... “Capture the traitor ...” After the chant, the soldiers that Yun Heran brought were attacked from the front and back. These people were not cowards, and did not surrender.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, with corpses littered everywhere on both sides. Teng Yu did not make a move, and instead, guarded the emperor under the protection of a few guards.
He looked down upon this bloody battlefield and felt disgust in his heart.
This was the throne that stood for the highest authority, and every change would be covered with blood. At this moment, when this throne was about to be obtained, Teng Yu was more disgusted than happy.
For this position, how many people had reneged on the path, how many people became enemies with each other, how many people should have lived a simple life filled with schemes, and how many people should have died.
“Royal Father, is this the result you wanted?” Teng Yu whispered.
