Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 169 - Unexpected Discovery

Seeing the woman leave, Yin Xu did not plan to leave yet. He raised his feet and walked indoors.

He thought that the emperor must have gone to sleep after the storm. He didn't expect that the other party would send someone to bring him hot water. The two palace maids were helping him wash and dress.

“You may leave.” After dressing himself, the emperor dismissed the palace maids and stood alone in the room for a while. Then, he walked to the wall at the side and turned a switch, entering a hidden passageway.

It was not strange that the Emperor's Bedroom Hall had secret tunnels, but it was strange that he still had to go out after pampering women.

Yin Xu did not hastily follow him. He could only watch as the door closed in front of him and fused with the wall.

He first observed the Emperor's room. The decorations were exquisite and luxurious, not one piece was inferior to the Third Prince Mansion, but it could be seen that the Emperor was not a proud and luxurious person. Although the things he used were exquisite, the furnishings inside were very simple and did not have too many unnecessary and useless decorations.

Yin Xu did not dare walk around the house recklessly, the surroundings were hidden with Dark Guard, although they could not see him, but they could easily see anything that he had knocked over or the footprints he left behind.

Yin Xu walked around, then sat down on a chair, preparing to wait for the Emperor to return.

He held his head as he stared at the exit of the secret passageway and thought to himself maliciously: Could the Emperor have gone out to hunt wild food because he was not full just now?

Looking at the woman just now, one could tell that she wouldn't be enthusiastic in bed. This kind of woman was indeed pretty, but in bed, it would definitely be boring. The Emperor had countless women, so it was normal for him not to be satisfied.

The door to the secret passage opened from the inside. The emperor's figure emerged followed by a man wearing a black cloak.

Yin Xu immediately became alert, realizing that he was about to discover a big secret. He switched positions and faced the man in the cape.

Unfortunately, half of that person's face was covered by the cloak, so he was unable to discern that person's identity from his chin.

The emperor took out a box from the secret compartment and handed it over to the cloaked man. “Take this.

“The emperor still doesn't believe in Huo Family. Actually, Huo Family has no second thoughts. Otherwise, Big Liang would have changed his surname long ago.” The man in the cloak smiled.

Yin Xu only thought that the voice was familiar, but he could not remember who it was.

The Emperor coldly snorted, “So what? The fact that he's loyal doesn't mean that he will remain loyal to the Huo Family. When the time comes for him to make his choice, how do you know that he won't betray us?”

“Since Your Majesty has doubts, then it's useless for this humble subject to say anything.”

The emperor's expression eased for a moment. “I will definitely accomplish what I've promised you. The Huo Family will definitely be yours in the end!”

When Yin Xu heard this, his heart was moved. He then heard the cloaked man laugh lowly, “Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't have complete confidence in winning, right? If I let Huo Family know that I am a greedy person, before you come to save me, this humble subject will have to go down and apologize to my ancestors. “

“You've been hiding it well all these years, how did they find out?”

Yin Xu checked every single Huo Family person he knew one by one. He was shocked to realize that this cloaked man was most likely someone he knew.

But there was no reason, why would he betray the Huo Family and seek revenge? was it really just to get control over the Huo Family?

If it were anyone else from the Huo Family, Yin Xu would not suspect anything. But this person, even if Huo Family were to be handed over to him, what could he do? It would be weird if a scholar like him could suppress a group of generals from the Huo Family.

“There will always be a time when he will show himself. Does His Majesty think that Father is so easy to fool?” He just didn't put his energy into me. “

“Then let him not focus on you. This time, I've helped you out greatly, haven't I?”

“Your Majesty is referring to the grant of marriage, right? This is indeed something that gives father a headache, but it is impossible for this matter to shake the very foundation of Huo Family. “

“We also do not intend to shake the foundations of the Huo Family.” The emperor sat down on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

“Didn't the emperor just want the Huo Family and Inferior Prime Minister to clash with each other? All these years, you have been using the Inferior Prime Minister s to restrict the Huo Family and have successfully caused the two families to form enemies. Now, you have come again, all because you want the two families to break off completely. “

“Oh? What did that mean? “I clearly want to link the two families and resolve the conflict.”

“Haha, why would the emperor put on an act in front of this humble subject? With my seventh brother's personality, this marriage is most likely impossible. With Inferior Prime Minister's temperament, how could he allow his most precious granddaughter to be annulled?”

“How do you know it won't work? Our royal decree has already been passed down, is he going to defy it? ” The emperor's face sunk. Probably because he thought about his son who had a headache, he complained to Yin Xu a lot.

“It's not that you don't know, but he doesn't listen to his father. I'm rather curious as to where he learned his skills from. Even his father has a whole new level of respect for him. Moreover …”

The Emperor waited for him to continue, but he didn't know what to think as he stared at his fingers.

“And what?” The Emperor asked.

“Moreover, this humble subject has never believed that he was that Huo Tian back then. Three years is enough to change a person's everything, but it's not enough to turn a useless person who knows nothing into someone who knows everything. People's abilities can be learned, but personality is hard to change completely.”

“Do you think we have never suspected him before? But someone had personally witnessed Huo Tian's transformation. The only thing worth doubting is his master, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't find him.”

“But that doesn't mean he was concealing anything in the past. Perhaps the Huo Tian you met four years ago isn't his true nature after all.”

“Just like the Third Prince?”

“Third Bro has indeed completely exceeded my expectations. It's impossible for him to have been hiding this well for a day or two, and it's impossible that he didn't have a reason for doing so. Have you found out?”

“I can't find anything. In this humble subject's clues, Third Prince has always been a spoiled child. If I were to say when he started changing, it can only be traced back to when he got to know Huo Tian.”

The emperor's eyes narrowed. “It's him again!”

Teng Yu felt that he had been stabbed for no reason. Teng Yu was naturally cunning and had been pretending to be crazy for so many years, if these people couldn't find him, then whatever.

“This humble subject has a guess.”

“Speak.”

“If Huo Tian's master really exists, then… Could it be that he had also accepted the Third Prince as his disciple? If there really is such a person, then he must be someone who will shock the world and make the gods cry. I think only he can change someone in such a short period of time. “

The emperor sat in silence as his brain began to work. In the end, he shook his head and said, “I have a much more reliable guess. But if that is the case, Third Bro won't be able to keep him.”

If Teng Yu knew the real cause of death of the Empress Liu, then it was extremely possible that he could fake it in front of him. If the time limit was pushed to nine years ago, then there would be a lot of things that he would be able to learn in nine years.

But at that time, Teng Yu was only a simple ten-year old child. He even arranged so many things in silence?

The expression in the emperor's eyes changed, and he thought about Liu Family. The decline of Liu Family was in the last five years, so those first few years might very well have been arranged by that old man.

If he had known earlier, he would not have ended Liu Ru`er's life on the spur of the moment. Or perhaps, he would have killed her along with his Liu Family.

“Go and check what's going on with the Liu Family, and whether or not it has anything to do with Ol ‘Three. We did everything we could to prevent it, but in the end, no one has managed to. Hmph!” “They are all good sons that we have!”

Huo Yidao lowered his head, and revealed a sinister smile on his face. He thought to himself: It was because of this suspicious personality that the emperor pushed his three sons further and further away.

Although he did not know what grudge there was between the Third Prince and the Emperor, hearing what he had said just now, it was probably enough to make father and son become enemies.

Yin Xu was also shocked when he heard it. It seems that the emperor had thought of the crux of the problem, and if he were to investigate further, he would definitely be able to find some clues.

It was impossible for Teng Yu to not have left any trace of his shock when he was ten years old. Although he had pretended very well since then, there must have been something amiss during the period he had just found out.

According to what he said, the people who followed him were all killed by him on and off. Those that remained were people that he could trust. However, there was no such thing as absolute certainty in this world.

Yin Xu shot a glance at the cloaked man, his eyes sparkling. He never thought that after such a long and mighty life, Huo Zhengquan would actually bring up such an ingrate.

It was very normal for an outsider like him to have no feelings towards Huo Family, but since the beginning to end, all he thought about was to obtain Huo Family Army, and he had no intention of destroying Huo Family.

And what Huo Yidao had done, was probably enough to completely destroy the Huo Family.
