Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 281 - Ask the Crown Prince to Supervise the Country

Yun Heran's long spear danced like a tiger's might, and Qixin's Guan Gong Dao did not have much of an impact, the two of them fought from inside the hall to outside, and no one was able to get close to them.

“Traitor!” Hurry up and surrender! ” Qixin bellowed, and with a slash of his blade, he cut off the white jade banister beside the stairs.

Yun Heran avoided the tip of the spear and jumped down to the ground, borrowing the force of the spear to jump.

“Fire …” The duo who were still in the middle of fighting heard the exclamation, and turned around. The outer area of the Chengde Hall had already caught fire, and someone had thrown a torch into a corner.

“Your Majesty …” Qixin was shocked, he only wanted to quickly end the battle with Yun Heran and go in to save the car.

After fighting for another quarter of an hour, both of them were exhausted and neither could do anything to the other. The only thing they could do was to add a lot of wounds to the other party's body.

“Old thief Yun!” At this point in time, if you still do not put down your weapon, even if you don't think about it for yourself, you must think about your wife and children. “

“Haha …” Do you think that this general is stupid? If you put down your weapon, you will still die, so why don't I kill this raging bull of yours and have someone to accompany you on the journey to the Yellow Springs? “

If not for Qixin, he would have definitely succeeded tonight. Right now, he only wanted to give his family some time to flee.

He dared to take the risk of exterminating the nine clans and force his way into the palace. Naturally, he had also thought of a way out, so his family should have received the news by now, right?

An arrow shot out from behind him. Yun Heran was forced to a corner by Qixin, so he was unable to dodge at all.

Although Qixin did not like being shot by people, he was in a critical situation so he could not care less as he shouted: “Xu Mang! “You've come at the right time. Quickly go in and save him!”

“You go, leave this old thief to me!”

“Alright!” Qixin kicked Yun Heran and then turned around and dashed into the great hall.

The fire outside was so big, yet there were still fighting inside the hall. He really didn't want to die!

Qixin defeated an enemy with one slash and ordered his men to extinguish the fire as he approached the Dragon Throne step by step.

“Your Highness, please take the emperor away. The fire is getting bigger and bigger.” Qixin rarely came into contact with the Third Prince before, he had only heard that his Highness' martial arts were powerful and that there were very few opponents. However, he had never met his before, so he naturally didn't believe his.

Especially at such a time, not only did this master not kill the enemy, he did not save anyone. If not for his calm expression, Qixin would have thought that he was scared silly.

Teng Yu secretly sighed, for a moment, he hoped that the Emperor would be burned to death in this great hall, which would save him a lot of trouble.

“Chief Minister Qu, carry Royal Father out. I'll call the imperial physician.”

Just now, he had truly felt the killing intent coming from the Third Prince. As the emperor's personal attendant, he naturally knew that the contradictions between this father and son were irreconcilable.

The First Prince wanted to force the palace, so how could the Third Prince not want to? If the Emperor dies at this time, the biggest beneficiary would be the Third Prince.

After picking up the life, the Chief Minister Qu did not dare to delay, and immediately carried the emperor on his back, before leaving the Chengde Hall under Qixin's escort.

Teng Yu walked down the stage, and although he did not do anything, the soldiers that surrounded him fell one after another. Even though it was a short journey, quite a number of people died in his hands.

When he stepped out of the doorstep, he saw that Xu Mang had already tied Yun Heran up, nodding to him.

“Take care of him first. This hall will go and see how Royal Father's condition is.”

Xu Mang lowered his head and replied. After which, he commanded the remaining people to clean up the mess.

He had been the commander of the guards for so many years, and all the guards in the palace had submitted to him. Moreover, Commander Wang had already become a traitor, so naturally no one would challenge the authority of this former commander.

Teng Yu walked slowly along the road. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and smoke.

The imperial physicians were all gathered in the Heartrest Palace and had ugly expressions on their faces after checking the Emperor's pulse.

“How is it? Just say it. “

“His Majesty's fury assaults the heart …”

“This hall knows what kind of treatment it is, and what kind of medicine to use!” Teng Yu waved his hand, not wanting to hear that long string of descriptions.

Imperial Physician Li rolled his eyes. “We should still focus on recuperation. What do you think, my fellow colleagues?”

“Indeed, we must not let His Majesty be provoked again.” The emperor's illness wasn't so serious that it couldn't be managed properly, but the imperial physicians were deeply afraid of responsibility, so they naturally chose the most conservative words.

If the emperor could rest, it would be the best thing that could happen to him.

Teng Yu nodded his head, “General Zhi must have heard it too. This palace is a mess, if Royal Father wakes up, he will definitely be greatly affected. Why don't General Zhi take someone with him to guard this Heartcare Palace?”

Qixin did not sense that something was wrong and happily agreed.

Teng Yu then asked about the Fourth Prince's condition, and a few imperial doctors shook their heads, indicating that they could only listen to fate.

Teng Yu told them to split into two groups to take care of the Emperor and the Fourth Prince.

After settling these matters, the ministers who received the news all entered the palace. Yun Heran had originally wanted them to witness his success, but who knew that after coming over, they would see him in a miserable state of defeat?

A group of old officials saw the corpses piled up outside the Chengde Hall and the hall that was half burnt, and all of them started crying and cursing all eighteen generations of Yun Heran's ancestors.

“What a disorderly subject!” This is truly audacious! “

“I wonder where your majesty is right now?” This subject and the rest would like to pay a visit first. “

“I'm afraid that the First Prince will not be able to escape responsibility for General Yun's rebellion. I wonder how the Emperor will deal with it.”

“You can't put it like that. What if you wrongly accuse the First Prince?”

The officials discussed amongst themselves, but Teng Yu remained calm. He asked Chief Minister Qu to tell the ministers what had happened in detail.

Although these descriptions did not directly say that the First Prince had also participated in coercing the palace, they could tell from the news that the First Prince and Imperial Consort Yun had left the palace in advance.

“Your Highness, the Emperor is very ill right now. Your subject requests that Your Highness take charge of the situation!” The Minister of Revenue raised his voice and attracted everyone's attention.

Many ministers began to ponder. From the looks of the situation, the only one who could possibly succeed the throne was the Third Prince, and it was even the Minister of Revenue who was quick-witted.

Many officials who were originally interested in the Third Prince all agreed, proposing for the Third Prince to oversee the country and for the king to make the decision after the king recovered.

“That's not too good. After all, the name doesn't make sense …” However, the neutral parties didn't think so. Once the rights of the supervisor were handed over, it would be difficult to return.

“When the First Prince defected, the Second Prince died, and the Fourth Prince was gravely ill. Everyone, do you think that the Third Prince was not legitimate enough? “Then, what might your intentions be?”

“Third Prince is still young after all. It would be better to be led by the Cabinet. The six tribes will enjoy the burden while the Third Prince will learn from them. How about that?”

“Third Prince is not the crown prince after all. Unless the emperor agrees, it would be overstepping his authority to supervise the country.”

After clamoring for a while, no one could convince anyone else. Only the officials who were originally standing by the Yun Family did not make a sound, until the Chief Minister Qu returned with an imperial edict.

“Milords, this is an imperial edict written by the emperor. He repeatedly exhorted us to release the imperial edict after the rebellion is over. Milords, why not listen to it together?”

Everyone fell to their knees. “Long live the Emperor …”

“I am under the command of the heavens to deliver the Emperor. The decree reads: Third Prince Teng Yu is the legitimate son of the main palace. It is suitable for us to take advantage of this opportunity and become the guardian beast. Today, Third Prince Teng Yu will be the crown prince and we will bestow him with a gift, giving him the order to announce it to the world, and allow him to know of it! “

The ministers all had different thoughts, and some of them laughed and asked, “Chief Minister Qu, when did Your Majesty write the imperial edict? I have never heard the Emperor mention it before. ” It should be said that the person whom the Emperor had chosen was the Fourth Prince, suddenly bestowing the title of Crown Prince to the Third Prince, was rather sudden.

“We know what all the lords are thinking. This imperial edict was written personally by the emperor. When General Yun is forcing his way to the palace, please verify!”

Chief Minister Qu handed over the imperial edict, and when he raised his head to meet Third Prince's meaningful gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head and left.

The old officials began to read through them one by one, identifying them again and again as they confirmed that they were the emperor's handwriting.

There were also people who suggested that the handwriting could be copied and they were sprayed with blood.

“This handwriting can be forged, but the Imperial Jade Seal cannot! Furthermore, the decree can be confirmed to have been written only today, and traitors who forced their way into the palace cannot enter or exit the palace until now. May I ask, how does Third Prince know in advance that traitors will force their way into the palace, and how do we bring the scribe into the palace in advance, and how can the Prophet not make a fake Imperial Jade Seal? “

It's only been a day. Unless Third Prince can see the future, how can everything be fine?

Furthermore, the officials believed that the most important thing about Teng Yu was that he had always been by the emperor's side from the very beginning. If he had entered the palace with troops under the name of Qing Jun, people would have doubted his motives, but he had not.

It was as if the Third Prince was suddenly trapped in the palace, spending life and death with the Emperor, using his filial piety to move the Emperor.

Now, only the Third Prince had the qualifications to inherit the throne, it was reasonable for the Emperor to write an edict before the traitors entered the palace.

Even if someone tried to pick a bone out of the hole, they wouldn't be able to do it.

The Minister of Revenue knelt in front of Teng Yu resolutely and said loudly, “I request the Crown Prince to supervise this country!”

“I request the crown prince to supervise the country!” Voices rose and fell in succession within the great hall, seeming to be extremely cautious amidst the mess.

Teng Yu's gaze was deep as it landed on the kneeling officials on the ground. He said calmly: “Let's go, let's send people to take back the traitor's family and the First Prince. We can discuss the other matters tomorrow.”
