Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 295 - I Don't Even Know Where the Shadow of the Empress Is

The day of the Emperor's death just happened to be a small year. Due to the Emperor's illness and His Highness The Crown Prince's long period of depression, even though the new year was approaching, they did not feel happy at all. Instead, when the Emperor passed away, they all changed into white silk and put on their filial attire.

The nation was in mourning, the entire nation in grief. It was as if an overnight, sorrowful atmosphere had spread from the capital all the way.

Teng Yu personally presiding over Emperor Dechang's funeral, the ministers realized that this His Highness The Crown Prince was completely capable of doing things on his own, and had done things in such a way that no one would be able to find fault with him.

After returning from the imperial mausoleum, Teng Yu locked himself up in the crown prince's mansion, ordered four to five jars of strong alcohol, and drank them all by himself in the Scenic Garden.

This was the first time since Yin Xu left that he indulged himself. He carried the wine jar to the big tree in the backyard and sat down.

“He treasured you so much that he actually abandoned you and ran away, hehe …” As the only plant in the crown prince's residence, this tree was extremely lush. Even in the winter, not a single leaf had fallen and the branches had already started to extend outwards.

However, not long after Yin Xu left, its growth slowed down. Teng Yu knew that it was because the Spirit Convergence Array had failed, but even after changing the jade, he was unable to restore the array.

It was a pity that Wang Ren was not here. Otherwise, there would be someone else who could take care of this precious tree for Yin Xu.

Teng Yu did not know that Yin Xu had left because of this tree, otherwise, he would have burned it to ashes.

“It has already been almost four months since I left. It should be about time I return to the farthest border, right …” Do you take me to heart or not… You asked me to wait for you to come back, but I didn't say how long it would take. Aren't you afraid I'll forget about you after a while? Hehe …

Yeah, why would you be afraid? In this life, you'll eat me for sure. You'll know that no matter what, I'll wait for you, that I can't leave you, that I'll wait for you to come back … When you come back… “See how I'll take care of you!”

Teng Yu smashed the empty wine jar onto the wall and sat there in silence for a long time. His eyes stared at the familiar courtyard, his mind filled with the memories of the past of the two people.

He thought about how everyone had left him and how he had actually become a loner. Even that bright moon had gone somewhere. How long would it take for such a life to end?

Everyday, he would go to court, and every day, he would stay at the Crown Prince's Palace. Day after day, he would wake up, afraid that he would see the wrinkled face and white hair in the mirror, but there was no one by his side.

He had never given up on searching and the bounty got higher and higher. The scope of the bounty got wider and wider.

Four months of time, was enough time for everyone in the world to turn over the pillars. Teng Yu did not have much hope left in his search, he could only wait for Yin Xu to appear.

With the first ray of sunlight shining on the courtyard, Teng Yu was completely awake. Today was a day of rest, he did not need to rush to the Imperial Palace, but it would be enough to fall in one night.

Opening the courtyard door, he realized that Han Sen had also been standing outside for an entire night, his old face frozen purple.

“Go back and rest. I'm returning to the palace.”

Han Sen stomped his foot, and said with a trembling voice: “Your Highness, you must take care of your body. Although the world is vast, you will soon become the sovereign of the country, and will definitely be able to find the Seventh Young Master Huo.”

“So what if he is the sovereign of a country? If he doesn't want to return, no one will be able to find him.” No one knew Yin Xu's abilities better than him. He only needed to change his face, or hide in that place with no one around, and no one would be able to find him.

Sometimes, Teng Yu would even dream of him hiding in some deep mountain to cultivate before turning into an immortal and leaving the mortal world, never to have anything to do with him again.

Every time he dreamed of such a scene, he would wake up in shock and then sleep through the night.

Han Sen did not know how to comfort his, he had said all that he needed to say, he touched his sleeves and took out a letter, “This is the letter Marshal Huo sent last night, the person who delivered the letter said that Marshal Huo has left for the capital.”

Teng Yu received the letter, opened it and swept through it once, but did not find any news that he wanted, his brows darkened slightly, then he kept the letter.

According to their previous plans, after this set of Pirate was destroyed, the navy would be able to temporarily rest for a period of time. Within the next three years, as long as they did not go ashore to cause chaos, the main objective of the navy would be to reorganize and expand their forces.

He communicated with Huo Zhengquan frequently, hoping that he could find out some news about Yin Xu.

However, he was destined to be disappointed. The relationship between Yin Xu and Huo Family was not close, and even after sending a few letters over, the answers he got were all the same.

Teng Yu had even specially sent a few Dark Guard s to keep an eye on the people that were close to Yin Xu and the others. In his eyes, Yin Xu was just an idiot who wouldn't live by himself for too long.

Teng Yu didn't know that in his previous life, Yin Xu had always been alone. He was actually the kind of person who suffered the most.

“Have Han Qing send our group of people to the capital, and have them temporarily be allocated into Capital Camp. From now on, I want to transfer some people to the northeast.”

Back then, they had also secretly groomed a group of a few thousand people. Their weapons were all crafted from Hui State, and their equipment was excellent, so their funding was sufficient.

After Yun Family was defeated, the number of injuries in the northeast was very large. The remaining portion had been dispersed back home, while the remaining portion had been inserted into the various prefectures' armies. The northeast side, on the other hand, was guarded by Qixin and his men in the Capital Camp.

This way, the two sides were short of manpower, and Teng Yu was able to turn them all into light, and then transfer them to the Northeast to train.

After Teng Yu left the crown prince's residence, he strolled around the streets, only that his identity and identity was different, and many people on the streets knew him, and every place he went, they would kneel down and kowtow to him. Teng Yu was no longer in the mood, and returned to the palace early.

The next day, the day after the inauguration was set for one month later.

The Rites Department did not forget to remind Teng Yu even in the chaos that the position of the Queen should be prepared now. The empress's palace should be repaired soon, otherwise it would be too hasty to start the construction only after it had been set up.

Teng Yu thought: I don't even know where the Empress's shadow is. Even if Yin Xu returned, he would definitely want to live together with him. It would be fine if he didn't want the Empress's palace.

With a fierce glance, the official from the Ministry of Rites knew the answer and retreated, trembling with fear.

With regards to Yin Xu's disappearance, everyone had all sorts of guesses in private. Some said that Yin Xu had secretly escaped because he did not want to be bound by the palace.

Some people said that because His Highness wanted to take on a concubine, he had left home in a fit of anger.

Some people said that His Highness The Crown Prince was dissatisfied with his tyranny, the two of them had a huge argument, and even fought back if there was a disagreement. Seventh Young Master Huo accidentally stabbed His Highness The Crown Prince, and as they were afraid of being held accountable, they secretly escaped.

No one knew if Yin Xu would return, but during this period of time, they could all see how deep the affection the His Highness The Crown Prince had for Yin Xu.

Ever since that person left, the His Highness The Crown Prince did not reveal a single smile. Even when he was about to ascend to the throne, no one could feel his happiness.

However, the ministers could not look at the empty rear seats forever, nor could they accept that the emperor did not even have a son. Therefore, regarding the matter of the imperial concubine, it would probably become a sore point in the ministers' hearts for a long time.

“When Huo Qi was here before, it was one thing for His Highness to insist on taking in concubines, but now, Huo Qi has disappeared. How long is Your Highness insisting on this?” Could it be that we can only look on helplessly as His Highness doesn't even have a servant by his side? “

“Let's let this matter rest for a while, the Marshal Huo will soon return to the throne. When the time comes, we will group up and ask the Marshal Huo to persuade his highness. His highness thinks so highly of the Marshal Huo, he will definitely listen to him.”

I hope so, but actually, according to our ancestor's teachings, Huo Family is not allowed to marry into the Imperial Family. Back then, His Highness is still a Third Prince, we thought that he had given up the throne, and that he would not even be able to give birth to a son, so it is not considered a violation of the law.

“If you have the ability to say these words to His Highness personally, it's not like I don't dare to say them. It's not like you can't tell how deep his feelings for that person are.”

“I say, let's not worry about this for now. As long as Your Highness is a normal man, can you still bear with having no one serve you for a long time?” “When the time comes, even if we don't mention it, he will take on Fei himself.”

They were all men, and felt that his words made a lot of sense. Thus, they waited for the His Highness The Crown Prince to come to his senses, full of anticipation.
