Chapter 199
Chapter 199 - Grieving Woman's Face
When the sky began to brighten, the rain gradually began to abate. The dark clouds that covered the sky, as if they had received a signal, gradually dispersed, revealing a bit of bright color.
The people on the boat had not slept for the whole night. Now that they heard the horn for the return flight, they finally calmed down.
Teng Yu stood at the bow of the ship, wearing his cape. It was drizzly and hazy, and the sea was covered with a white mist that lingered around them for a long time.
“Your Highness, the breakfast is ready, after you use it, you can go take a rest, right?” Han Qing walked forward, and thought that he was thinking about the Yunjin City, and continued to speak: “Right now, there are already three or four families that have evidence, it is impossible to catch all of the Yunjin City's officials in one go, after this subordinate returns, this subordinate will have some people go and convince them to submit, and when everything is settled, I will come back and take care of them.”
“Han Qing.”
“Yes.”
“Do you think it's a good or bad thing for me to sit in that position?”
“…” Why does Your Highness say that? Of course it's a good thing. No matter who ascends the throne, they will never treat His Highness nicely. ” This was a publicly accepted fact, and was one of the reasons why Teng Yu had no choice but to fight for it.
“That's right. Everyone is thinking about how to take my life, but …” “Ai …” Thinking about Yin Xu's strange behavior before, Teng Yu suddenly became conflicted again.
“What's wrong, Your Highness?” Why did you suddenly think of this question? “
Teng Yu did not reply. Instead, he asked, “Tell me, is this the Rivers and Mountains Family or the beauties more important?”
Han Qing's mouth twitched, and reminded his: “Your Highness, you already have a Seventh Young Master, what does beauties have to do with you?”
Or could it be that His Highness had finally thought it through and was not willing to give up the beauty of the world for the sake of the Seventh Young Master?
“Metaphor, do you understand? Moreover, Huo Tian is quite handsome, so he can be considered a beauty. ” Teng Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with comparing Yin Xu to a beauty. In his eyes, there was nothing on Yin Xu that was not perfect.
Han Qing did not comment on this. Seventh Young Master's appearance was naturally handsome, just that it was not at the level of bringing calamity to the people, nor was it at a level where he could be shoulder to shoulder with the Rivers and Mountains Society.
“Your Highness, you aren't thinking of giving up such a great opportunity for the Seventh Young Master are you?” Han Qing's face changed. If his master really thought like that, who knew how many people would think of Seventh Young Master Huo as a fake enemy.
“Nothing, just some… “Worried.”
“What are you worried about?”
Teng Yu turned around and glanced at him gloomily, then shook his head and laughed bitterly: “You don't understand!”
Han Qing lowered his head, “This subordinate does not understand, but this subordinate thinks that the Seventh Young Master hopes that you can rule the world.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Seventh Young Master, he … “He's not a person who doesn't care about fame or fortune.” Actually, in his heart, Yin Xu was more than indifferent to fame and fortune, he simply loved money and power. If not for the fact that he was a member of the Huo Family, Han Qing would have thought that he was with because he had taken a fancy to the identity of the Third Prince.
Of course, the other party's ability was also something that couldn't be ignored.
Teng Yu looked at Han Qing in astonishment, he did not expect him to say such words, but after thinking about it, what he said was not wrong, but it was incomplete.
Yin Xu was not willing to be subordinate to others, he liked to control other people's life and death, but he was not greedy for power. He just wanted to live a life as he pleased, no one could threaten his life.
In the Big Dipper, he naturally couldn't leave Qian and Quan's side if he wanted to live like this. However, Teng Yu believed that it would be very easy for Yin Xu to obtain these two things.
“Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go eat.” Teng Yu turned around and left, leaving Han Qing baffled as to why his master was acting this way. He suspected that the Seventh Young Master had said something that made his master uneasy.
The breakfast was very simple, a pot of porridge with a few side dishes, and a plate of spicy prawns that had survived the storm yesterday.
Teng Yu asked the boat family how the weather was today, if their ship encountered another storm, it would probably fall apart.
“Your Highness, don't worry. Today's weather should be very good. Once the fog is gone, we'll move faster. Maybe we can go back for dinner.”
Teng Yu nodded his head, and took a glance, “When we get back, all of you better keep this matter under control, and tell them that there is a little villain involved, so they intentionally messed on the boat, causing me to be injured, do you remember?”
Although the rest were not Third Prince's servants, they did not have the guts to go against Third Prince's orders. All they needed to do was to swear a poison oath.
Teng Yu wasn't afraid that they would leak information, so what if everyone knew that he wasn't injured? His ship had truly been forced into action, and he himself had almost lost his life. Just this crime alone was enough to cause the person behind this to die a hundred times over.
The day went well, and it was still light when they arrived at the docks.
Teng Yu had been carried off the boat by someone, and there were people waiting for his return everyday. Seeing this, they jumped in fright and quickly went to find a sedan chair to carry Teng Yu back to the elegant garden.
Naturally, there were people who reported this matter to the Prefectural Governoment and passed down Teng Yu's orders. Xuanzhi Mansion did not sleep for two days, and his body had slimmed down a lot.
“Is this true?” Your Highness, really … You're really hurt? ” Xuanzhi Mansion caught the attendant who was about to ask for information, looking like he wanted to cry but had no tears on his face.
“It's absolutely true. Many people at the dock saw that Third Prince was carried off the boat, and some people even went to take a look at the boat, they were indeed pierced through with a few holes. It's said that they were in a storm last night, and the cabin is filled with water.
“Which bastard killed him so quickly?” Isn't this asking for my life? ” Xuanzhi Mansion was so worried that his hair was about to fall off. He was just about to find a scapegoat for himself, but who knew that before one wave even subsided, it would happen again.
He actually hoped that the Third Prince would directly die at sea, and then everything would be fine. Although the Emperor had blamed him afterwards, he could not let him die, but His Highness was just playing when there was a storm.
Xuanzhi Mansion scolded the criminal behind the scenes while tidying up his appearance and preparing to visit Third Prince.
Not only him, even all of the officials of the entire Yunjin City, upon hearing that the Third Prince had returned with injuries, all came forward to pay their respects with great gifts.
For a moment, the entire garden was bustling with activity, but not everyone was fortunate enough to be summoned by the Third Prince. Officials below the fifth rank were sent out before they could even enter the second gate.
Naturally, Xuanzhi Mansion would not be sent out. The moment he came to the door, he was personally welcomed by Han Qing, which greatly satisfied his dignity as a Prefect.
However, they made him even more nervous, secretly cursing in his heart: Third Prince will probably blame me for it, I was the one who helped to arrange the boat, if there were any problems, I would be the first one to find me, am I not?
Xuanzhi Mansion really wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to pretend to be kind and take this to heart?
Arriving at the courtyard that the Third Prince was staying at, Han Qing ordered his men to wait outside. He entered and reported it to Yun Che, which caused the Xuanzhi Mansion to wait under the sun for two hours with a layer of oil on his fat.
When he was about to faint from the sun, the other slowly walked out, apologizing expressionlessly, “My lord has been waiting for a long time. His Highness has just woken up, please come in.”
What else could the Xuanzhi Mansion say? He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face before walking in shakily.
At first, Xuanzhi Mansion thought that this room was filled with ice, but when he secretly took a look, he realized that there was not even a basin of water. As for the temperature, it was completely emitted from Seventh Young Master Huo's body.
The Xuanzhi Mansion was a scholar, he did not know martial arts, but he knew that the chill was called killing intent. He trembled in fear, threw himself beside the Third Prince's bed and began to wail.
“Your Highness, you've suffered. This official is really useless. I actually got someone to do something on Your Highness' ship. I deserve to die a thousand times for my crimes!” “This damnable criminal is really audacious …”
Xuanzhi Mansion's suppressed, loud howls made Yin Xu's head pop out. He kicked the person away and said with a solemn face, “Be quiet, if you dare howl wildly again, this young master will cut off your tongue!”
Xuanzhi Mansion cried for a while, then burped and crawled up on the ground to kneel, “Seventh… Seventh Young Master… This official is also worried for His Highness, I hope that you can forgive me for losing your composure for a moment. “
Yin Xu rolled his eyes at him as he sat on the side of the bed and held Teng Yu's hand. A sorrowful look was on his face, causing Xuanzhi Mansion to be stunned.
He thought to himself: It seems that Third Prince is really heavily injured. Looking at Seventh Young Master's face, it seems like a dead husband.
Fortunately, Yin Xu didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, otherwise, he would definitely beat him up into a pig-headed face, or let him personally experience what a real grudging woman's face looked like.
“Seventh Young Master, how is Your Highness's injury? This humble official brought a few of the most famous doctors from the Yunjin City over, and asked them to come in and take a look? “
“No need, we brought an imperial physician on this trip, who would dare use your Yunjin City? Who knows if they have evil intentions? “
Yin Xu's every word struck at the heart, causing Xuanzhi Mansion's eyelids to twitch. He rarely interacted with this master, and usually only saw him following and leaving the Third Prince's side.
It was simply not a good life.
