Chapter 82 - That Is Simply Unbelievable
In the early morning of the next day, a burst of loud and urgent knocks woke Teng Yu and Yin Xu up.
“Your Highness …” “Your Highness …”
Teng Yu pulled out his arm that was pressed down by Yin Xu for the entire night, and pulled it out from a corner of the bed. Hearing that it was Han Qing who was outside, he let him in.
The candles in the room had already been extinguished, and there was not a single light in the bedroom. It was obviously still early in the morning.
Han Qing pushed the door and entered. He walked to the bedside with his head lowered and reported without looking away: “Your Highness, something happened to Second Prince last night.”
“Hmm?” Teng Yu opened his eyes and sat up, allowing Han Qing to hang up the bed sheets, he asked: “What happened?”
“Last night, Second Prince took the envoys of the various countries out of the city to have some fun. At night, they rested at a courtyard in the southern suburbs. I don't know if it was because they drank too much wine or something, but Second Prince and Luo Qiu's envoys had a relationship.”
“…” Is it the kind of relationship I am thinking of? ” Teng Yu was completely shocked by the news, he had never heard that his second brother had such a hobby.
“Yes, that ambassador of Luo Qiu was originally a woman, and a princess at that. Because he admired my great glory, he disguised himself as an envoy and came with me.”
“The one with the veil all day?”
“Right.”
Teng Yu chuckled, “I never thought that second royal brother would have such luck with women. I heard that all the women in the Western Regions are especially passionate, and if they were to be in love, he would be able to get a princess consort for free.
“I'm afraid not, this subordinate heard from someone that when Second Prince woke up, he was scared out of his wits. Originally, he did not want to reveal it, but that princess still held onto him tightly and muttered something, causing everyone to wake up.”
“Why wouldn't I dare to admit to such a good thing?” Teng Yu felt that his second brother's mind was indeed not very bright. Since he had done what he had to do, he should choose the direction that was most beneficial to him.
Han Qing had a strange expression on his face, as if he was holding back a smile. The princess of Luo Qiu… Eh, it's very ordinary, and very intrepid, realizing that he was just about to be stabbed by a blade when he fell asleep, Second Prince still has five finger marks on his face.
“I think so. Just by looking at the place where she revealed herself, I can tell that this woman is very dark. Hehe, this drunken chaos is really bad.” Teng Yu gloated before asking, “Then where is he now? Has it alarmed the palace? “
“Yes, the Second Prince has already entered the palace and is kneeling outside the Emperor's Bedroom Hall, waiting for the Emperor's orders.”
“Send people to keep an eye on him and see what kind of reaction the princess had. Since this happened at the right time, the Royal Father should be pleasantly surprised.”
“Yes.” After receiving the orders, Han Qing immediately left the room. From beginning to end, he did not even glance at the bed.
Teng Yu was sitting on his bed, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter. Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared on his waist, and he lowered his head to stroke Yin Xu's smooth black hair, “Did I wake you up?”
“Is he still human even with such a loud noise?” Yin Xu snappily replied with a question. He rested his head on Teng Yu's thigh and yawned.
“Originally, he wouldn't be silent for too long. However, there's a hint of conspiracy on the part of number two. As far as I know, he's pretty calm and never gets involved with women outside.”
Yin Xu really wanted to say that it was his doing, he just wanted to punish the two of them, who knew that they would roll together?
“Don't worry about him. Go back to sleep. It's not even dawn yet.” Teng Yu lied down and hugged Yin Xu, continuing to sleep in them.
“Yes.” Yin Xu found a comfortable place under his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
When the two woke up again, Han Qing had already rushed in with a joyous expression on his face.
This was way too abnormal for Han Qing who had been expressionless all this while, causing him to take the initiative to ask: “What happened again?”
“Your Highness, that princess committed suicide.” Han Qing said happily.
“Suicide? When did this happen? Weren't you in high spirits before? “
“She was discovered by her guards an hour ago …” According to other officials, when the princess woke up, besides beating Second Prince and scolding him, she only wanted him to marry her. She even listed out the betrothal gifts.
According to your orders, this subordinate has sent someone to keep an eye on both of them. According to our spy, someone had entered the princess' room an hour ago, but our men were too far away to see his appearance.
The Emperor has already woken up, and upon hearing the news, he had the Second Prince close up to reflect on his death. As for the matter of the princess's death, he has already asked the Ministry of Justice to intervene, and today, an exception has been made for the morning assembly.
From the first to the fifteenth of the first month of the new year, unless there was an urgent matter, the morning assembly would be spared. It was foreseeable that a good year's worth of festivals would be ruined.
If Teng Ji only had a relationship with the little princess, and married her, she would probably be very willing. After all, if they wanted to marry each other, this kind of small country didn't even have the qualifications to do so.
No matter how small Luo Qiu was, it was still an independent country. Not only did this kind of matter affect the national relations between the two countries, it might also cause other countries to be unwilling to accept the Dazhang Kingdom.
Don't look at the vast area of the beam, with its vast population. If all the surrounding countries were to simultaneously send out their armies, even ten Huo Family Army wouldn't necessarily be enough to resist.
“What are the other ambassadors in the Luo Qiu Country like now? What are the reactions of the envoys of the other countries? “
“Luo Qiu's envoy has already been invited into the palace. There was a big commotion before, and they said that they wanted the Second Prince to accompany their princess in death!”
“How laughable!” Teng Yu sneered, thinking that all these people's minds were filled with grass.
“As for the envoys from the other countries, we are all in agreement to have the Emperor give us an explanation. From this subordinate's point of view, these people only want to seize the opportunity to fish for some benefits.”
“This is very normal. I believe that the Royal Father would be very generous to his son.” Teng Yu could imagine how depressed the emperor was right now.
As long as he was not happy, Teng Yu would be happy.
“Your Highness, do we need to investigate the murderer?”
“Investigate!” Of course! Other than Teng Yi's faction, no one else would do such a thing. If they could find out the evidence that proved that he was the one who did it, then there would only be two birds with one stone.
However, this possibility is not high. You only need to find evidence that can cause the Emperor to suspect him.
“Subordinate suspects that this whole thing was a scheme by the First Prince. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that such a thing happened right after Second Prince took over the job.”
“Isn't that so? This prince even wanted to do something to add to their fire, but who would have thought that they would start their own fire without adding any firewood. ” Even Teng Yu felt that his life had been too easy, but he wouldn't let Teng Ji lose to him so easily.
If the Emperor wanted to cultivate Teng Ji and control the balance in the Yun Family, he would also need Teng Ji to stand in front of him and fight against the power of the Yun Family.
Only when the enemy was in the light and the enemy was in the dark did he have the opportunity to cause trouble.
“Tell Han Sen to send away the people in the backyard as soon as possible. We need to make this a little bigger, and it would be best if everyone in the capital knew, let them know that I'm very busy right now, and have no time to do naughty things.”
Han Qing had probably heard of this news from his foster father long ago, so he was not surprised at all. He only glanced at Yin Xu who was silently sitting at the side from the corner of his eyes, and thought to himself: I never thought that the Seventh Young Master's influence on my master is already this great.
On this day, the entire capital was bustling with noise and excitement, and people were gathered and chatting. After picking up the debts of the Second Prince, everyone started to pick up the affairs of the Third Prince.
Either of these two events is the headline.
Second Prince's private life had always been a good one, never picking the flowers and stirring up the grass, never visiting brothels, there were even people who praised the Second Prince as the most devoted prince of the imperial family.
As a result, when such a thing suddenly happened, everyone was a little shocked. From the initial doubt to the truth, everyone began to guess what had happened.
Although the matter of Third Prince dispersing to the backyard for a male pet was very explosive, but because Third Prince was a person with a lot of troubles, it was expected for anything to happen to him. It was much easier for the crowd to accept it.
Yin Xu heard the few versions of the rumors Wu Sheng brought back from the outside, and snorted: “Look how big of a sacrifice I made, it has already become a bane of women!”
They didn't know anything about what was going on in the backyard, so when they heard the news at the teahouse, they thought it was just empty talk.
Who is the Third Prince? How could he dismiss the handsome men and beautiful women in the backyard for a man?
It was only when he returned and saw that the butler was sending the group of people out that he realised the rumors were not far from the truth. In the future, Seventh Young Master Huo would truly be the only favorite of this magnificent Third Prince Mansion.
This is simply … It was too unbelievable.
