Chapter 294 - Your Highness Is Merciful

After sitting for an entire night, Teng Yu thought about it and thought about it. Other than not discovering Yin Xu's abnormality last night, he had no other results.

“Your Highness, it's time to go to court!” Chief Minister Qu stood outside the door, holding his court uniform and carefully reminded him.

Teng Yu stood up to open the door. The wound on his chest had already formed a scab, which meant that the medicine Yin Xu gave him was the best, which also meant that his departure was premeditated.

Since you asked me to wait for you to come back, then I will wait. I just hope that I won't have to wait too long.

The door opened, and the stars were dim. Chief Minister Qu laughed: “I'm afraid it's going to rain.”

“Come in.” Teng Yu had his servants change clothes, comb his hair and wash it clean, then ate a bowl of porridge, a few pieces of his highness. This made the servants, who were always on tenterhooks, finally feel relieved.

The morning assembly was still the same, noisy and contentious. Teng Yu swept his eyes across all the officials present, looking at their ambition and dirty thoughts like a spectator.

“Has Inferior Prime Minister recovered from his illness?” Teng Yu's sharp gaze swept over the old man who stood at the head of the officials.

The Inferior Prime Minister bowed. “Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This old official has been much better.”

“That's great. I heard that the Prime Minister's estate is going to have a happy occasion soon?”

Inferior Prime Minister's heart trembled, he braced himself and nodded, “Yes, this old subject's granddaughter has already been engaged to Master Tan, and the marriage ended shortly after.”

“Oh, I heard that the quasi princess consort has agreed?” When he brought up Yin Xu, Teng Yu still felt a dull pain in his chest.

“Indeed. At that time, we had already informed Commander Huo that he had even asked for a goblet of wedding wine.”

Teng Yu's face fell as he thought to himself: It seems like Yin Xu was still normal when I was at the Prime Minister's Residence. In other words, he did not plan to go missing at that time.

His gaze landed on the Inferior Prime Minister's white hair, then he called out Tan Zi's name, “Was Mr. Tan also present at that time?”

Tan Ziwen hurriedly stepped forward, “Yes, this humble subject should have reported this matter yesterday, but Your Highness was too busy, this humble subject was unable to immediately report it.”

Teng Yu waved his hand and stood up, “Since there is nothing else, let's disperse the court.

“Your Highness, I've heard that His Majesty is severely ill. This subject would like to pay a visit to him. Is that possible?” Xu Jin, a scholar from Wenzhou University, stood up and said.

Teng Yu's face was still pale, but his every movement could not tell that he was injured, and his voice was full of vigor, “I know what you guys are thinking, Royal Father wasn't severely injured, but rather injured by the First Prince.

The officials were in an uproar. They did not expect such a result. Some of them anxiously asked the emperor about his injuries, while others strongly demanded that the First Prince be severely punished.

Teng Yu should have settled this matter right away, but he was unconscious at the time, so when he woke up and was thinking about Yin Xu, he didn't want to bother.

The ministers gaped at the man in front of them. How was this like the gentle and refined First Prince from before?

His hair was loose, his clothes were dirty to the point where it was impossible to see his original color, his face was full of stubble, and his eyes revealed an abnormal craziness.

“What happened to the First Prince?”

Teng Yu sighed, “I was like this when Commander Xu brought me back, maybe I was scared.”

“Haha ...” I'm going to be the Emperor... “I'm going to be the emperor soon ...”

Facing this kind of First Prince, the ministers all felt that he was a bit of an eyesore. This kind of person was truly a disgrace to the imperial family. His crime was forcing the palace to rebel and assassinate the Emperor, which was more than enough for him to die ten times.

“Your Highness, I'm afraid the First Prince has gone mad. It's too dangerous for someone like him to stay by the side of the Emperor.”

“Oh, then how do you all wish to deal with it?”

“In accordance with the Dazhou Law, it is naturally necessary to...” “Kill him!”

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth hooked up, “Mn, that's right, but he's still this hall's royal brother, why not spare his life and spend the rest of his life in the outskirts of the Imperial Palace.”

“His Highness is merciful!” The ministers were all surprised, thinking that His Highness The Crown Prince would never let the First Prince off no matter what.

It was wise of him to do so, both to preserve the face of the Emperor and to establish a generous image for himself.

Naturally, Teng Yu would not let him go because of his kindness. He only felt that it was good to have this kind of enemy around when he was so lonely.

“Then it's decided. The Imperial Consort Yun has also been stripped of her title and confined together. After all, she is a mother and son. In addition, let all the yamen runners post their names on the Emperor Board, place a bounty on famous doctors, and enter the palace to diagnose and treat the Royal Father. “

“Your Highness' filial piety is commendable, it is the role model of all the people in this world.” The ministers were no longer dissatisfied. His Highness The Crown Prince was able to take care of all aspects of the situation, what else could they say?

Just that when the bounty for the famous doctor's name was posted, everyone discovered that there was another notice, which also mentioned to look for someone, but the person they were looking for was actually Huo Tian, the Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters Lord, and the bounty was actually the same as the one on the leaderboard.

Only now did people notice that it had been a long time since the Lord of Huo Family's Seventh Young Masters appeared. When the Inferior Prime Minister speculated on the day he disappeared, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he knew that Huo Qi's disappearance had nothing to do with him, outsiders did not know, no wonder the His Highness The Crown Prince would go and talk to Tan Ziwen alone, no wonder he took Tan Ziwen to a remote place in a fit of rage, so that was the reason.

The Inferior Prime Minister did not dare show any more dissatisfaction, and immediately went back to court obediently. However, not long later, he felt that this kind of career was meaningless, he only had the title of Prime Minister, and all his rights were gone.

So after his granddaughter and Tan Zi finished hearing about the marriage, the Inferior Prime Minister handed over the Advice Letter to the Honored Warrior. Teng Yu asked him to stay for a while, but after knowing that he was going to leave with his granddaughter, he finally agreed.

In the same winter, it snowed heavily in the capital, causing a snowstorm in the north. The emperor's injuries, after repeating it several times, finally couldn't take it anymore.

Many of the doctors accepted the Emperor's name into the palace, but they didn't have much use for it. One of the doctors said privately that the reason why the Emperor's injury hadn't healed for a long time was because he had a knot in his heart and had a will to die.

Of course, these words did not spread, and after Teng Yu finished listening, he only smiled slightly, and did not pursue the matter.
