Demon Lord Gets Married

Chapter 300 - Positive Test

When Teng Yu left the capital, he only brought with him a small group of bodyguards, but when he returned, he sent over a thousand people to escort him. From the capital to Yunjin City, he only spent ten days and nights, but by the time he returned, he had walked for an entire month.

From afar, he saw a city gate. Teng Yu carried his son who had grown up a lot and said: “Bao Er, quickly look, we are almost home.”

Maybe it was because he had gotten familiar with Teng Yu along the way. Right now, he and Teng Yu had a very close relationship, so even Yin Xu had to stand aside.

“Little unscrupulous, what are you laughing about? I still don't know that you're about to be trapped in that golden silk cage, and you're laughing heartless. ” Yin Xu pinched his son's cheek and scolded him.

Teng Yu knew that he did not like living in the palace, so he said: “The Crown Prince's Palace is still here, if you do not like living in the palace, you can bring your son along to live outside.”

At most, he would just run back and forth every day.

Yin Xu thought about it, he felt that this was good too, since he was alone, he would be free to live outside.

At the city gates, the officials who had received the news had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the procession approaching from afar, they hurriedly knelt down to greet them. “Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

Teng Yu covered Yin Xu with a cape, and even pulled his son's swaddling together before bringing him down the carriage.

“Everyone, please rise. Thank you for your hard work these days.” As Teng Yu's words fell, many of the officials' eyes turned red. Without the king, they felt like they had lost their leader.

Finally, he managed to bring her back. Moreover, when they heard the emperor's tone of voice, it was filled with the warmth that they hadn't heard in a long time. Everyone guessed that he had brought her back.

This time, everyone was overjoyed. They had had enough of the emperor who did not smile all day long. Every time he went up to court, he would place his head on his pants, ready to lose it at any time.

Everyone stood up and escorted the emperor into the palace. Many ministers noticed with their keen eyes that the emperor was holding a baby in his arms. The emperor was really fond of the baby, especially with the frequent interactions between them.

This matter instantly occupied the top of the gossip rumours, and even the Seventh Young Master Huo was standing at the back. The citizens were discussing and guessing about this matter, making all sorts of guesses.

The ministers were more concerned about the issue of the child's blood ties. They would definitely not agree that the next emperor was a wild child of unknown origins.

The next morning, just as the officials were debating whether to give the Emperor a signal, the Emperor came to court with the child in his arms.

The crowd went into an uproar as they secretly tried to guess the intention of the Emperor's actions.

The child wasn't nervous even when he saw so many adults in official uniform. He waved his arms and shouted excitedly. As he passed by a civil servant, he even reached out to pull at the hat's vertical string, refusing to let go.

The emperor stopped in his tracks. The official dared not to speak out in anger, much less snatch the item back. He could only look at the emperor with a pleading gaze.

“Bao`er, you like this?” As Teng Yu spoke, he took off the hat on the official's head and pushed it into his son's chest. He smiled and said to the official, “Tomorrow, you will go to the Department of Internal Affairs to get a new set of official uniform. We will remember you, your performance has been exceptional for three years in a row.

“…” The official was dumbfounded. He had actually been promoted to an official for no reason at all!

The rest of the officials were also shocked. If they knew earlier, they would have taken the initiative to attract the child's attention.

“I have brought Bao`er here today to recognize your face and to be your witness.”

Everyone had a bad premonition. Judging from how much the emperor valued this child, he was most likely the person they were most worried about.

“This is my biological son, and he will also be my Crown Prince. The conferred ceremony will be followed by the inauguration ceremony. The imperial overseer will choose a good day to come out. I will be extremely happy!”

Suddenly, he had a wife and children. Wasn't this the same as having a happy ending?

Only, the ministers all objected, “Your Majesty, who is this child's biological mother? The Crown Prince is the only one who cannot be sloppy! “

“Your majesty, you're still young. The Crown Prince has spoken too prematurely. Why don't you delay it for a few years?” Perhaps in a few years the Emperor will have another child of his concubine?

It should be better than a wild child of unknown origins, right?

“Everyone, don't worry. I've said that I will make everyone my witnesses. How about I make a blood pact in front of everyone here?”

“Your Majesty, you can't …” Blood paternity test may not be accurate, this is only a method used by the commoners, it cannot be counted. “

“Oh, then do you have a better way to verify your true body?”

“This …”

Teng Yu brought the child in front of Huo Zhengquan, “Actually, this child can already tell from his appearance that he is our flesh and blood, what does Marshal Haotian think?”

Huo Zhengquan frowned, he lowered his head and looked into the child's eyes, the clear and intelligent eyes were something that anyone would like at first glance, if they were to look carefully at the child's facial features, the Marshal would have to admit that it did look similar to the Emperor.

He had watched Teng Yu grow up, so he naturally still remembered what Teng Yu looked like when he was young. Although this child's facial features had yet to grow, it was extremely similar to when the Emperor was young.

“Indeed, the emperor can show it to these old officials.”

The emperor was in a good mood as he held the child and walked around in a circle. Anyone who had seen him in his childhood would have to admit this fact.

They looked at each other in dismay before finally coming to a compromise, “Then … “Let's have a blood test!”

The Emperor gave his son a kiss and sent for a bowl. He personally pricked his son's finger with a needle and squeezed out a drop of blood. Afterwards, he bit his own finger and dripped the blood into the bowl.

The reason why Teng Yu dared to drip blood in front of everyone was naturally because he was prepared. The two drops of blood fused together, and he made the attendant bring a bowl for all the ministers to see.

“If that's the case, then don't bother with the sons of our loved ones in the future. I am prepared to wait until the age of one and bring the crown prince along to train him personally. I hope that he will become a qualified emperor in the future.”

“The Emperor is wise! Long live, long live, long live… “Long live the crown prince! Long live the crown prince! Long live the crown prince!”

After successfully settling the important matter of the successor, Teng Yu's mood could be imagined. On the morning of the same day, there were even a few officials who were promoted, causing the eyes of the people around to turn red with envy.

However, because of this matter, everyone wasn't so stubborn about the crown prince's status anymore. If the emperor's mood was so clear every day, then their days would definitely be much better.

After dispersing throughout the imperial city, Teng Yu brought his son to the royal study room, placed him on the infant's bed beside and started to clean up the Advice Letter s that were accumulated for more than a month.

The Chief Minister Qu waited on the side and poured a cup of tea for the emperor from time to time. From time to time, he would change a diaper for the His Highness The Crown Prince on the baby's bed.

“Your majesty, this servant has chosen a few wet nurses for His Highness The Crown Prince. Do you want to choose one to feed His Highness?”

Teng Yu raised his head, “No need, the Palace will raise a few more ewe, Bao`er will drink their milk.”

Chief Minister Qu did not know that someone despised his son for having the smell of another woman, so he asked in surprise, “Isn't it better to drink breast milk?”

Teng Yu laughed, “It's fine, he's healthy.” He glanced at his son, who was having fun with himself. He could not control the smile on his face.

“Oh yes, send someone to invite Huo Tian into the palace, we will be having dinner there.”

“Yes, your servant will go now.” The Chief Minister Qu sent a Young Eunuch in to serve and left the palace without stopping.

He had a premonition that everything would be peaceful once the lord returned. He just didn't understand why he was staying at the crown prince's mansion. Could it be that he wasn't married yet?

When he arrived at the crown prince's mansion, the Chief Minister Qu conveyed his purpose of coming here. However, Han Sen said that the Seventh Master Huo had been called away by the Marshal Huo, and pounced on nothingness to report to the palace.

Teng Yu thought about it and decided not to ask anyone to go to the Marshal's Mansion to call for help. Huo Zhengquan had asked to go to the northwest when he was still in court, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to return even if he went back for the new year.

In the Marshal's Mansion, Huo Zhengquan was glaring at Yin Xu, “Even to his father, he was not speaking the truth at all.

Who would believe him if he went out to sightsee!

Yin Xu dug his ears, “Since you know that I was the one who lied to you, what else is there to ask? Why don't you just take me for a sightseer? “

Huo Zhengquan took a deep breath to calm his anger, so as to not die from it, “Then tell me, what happened to the child? Look at that child's month, before you left, the Emperor had an affair with someone. Did you leave home because of that? “

Yin Xu opened his eyes wide, “Ah …” “Why don't you think the baby was born to another woman after I went out?” Isn't this the most reasonable conclusion?

“You …” Huo Zhengquan looked at him in disdain. His son's heart was on the Emperor's body, it would be weird if he could have children with another woman! Of course, he didn't think that the Emperor would be able to do such a thing. But other than this reason, he couldn't think of any other reason for Yin Xu's disappearance.

And that child really does look too similar to Teng Yu.

Yin Xu curled his lips and did not refute his. It would be better to let everyone think that this child was born of Teng Yu and other women, than to think that he was a bastard.

Since that woman didn't exist, there was no need for him to make things difficult for himself.

Huo Zhengquan looked at him with a pained expression, “When the Emperor said that he wanted to take you as his master in the morning assembly, the child bestowed the title of Crown Prince, and watched his performance over the past year. Presumably, he is deeply regretting his decision to accompany a sovereign like a tiger, you also have to control your temper, just in case one day he doesn't want to tolerate you anymore, your good days are over.”

Huo Zhengquan rarely said these serious words to persuade others. His tolerance towards Yin Xu had always risen, even he himself was surprised.

“If that day ever comes, I will take my son to travel around the world. Let him live his life by himself!”

Huo Zhengquan shook his head, there was no hope for this son of his.

“Tomorrow, I will set off for the Northwest Camp. This time Yiming will stay, you have some matters to discuss with him.”

Yin Xu nodded his head, laughed and said: “Don't worry, one day when I am here, my Huo Family will not fall.”

Huo Zhengquan thought: It's precisely because of you that Huo Family is at such great risk. Since ancient times, external relations have not been so easy.

“The selection for the successor of Huo Family is about to arrive, isn't it?” Yin Xu still remembered this matter. Back then, he had also thought about seizing the Huo Family's power for himself, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to use it now.

“Mm, there will be an outcome by this time next year …” Huo Zhengquan thought to himself, what a pity for such a good son, to actually want to marry someone!

“And your second brother …” Has the Emperor mentioned it? “

Yin Xu knew what he was referring to. What Huo Yidao had done was already enough to sentence him to death, but Teng Yu obviously would not throw the people from Huo Family onto the execution platform.

Yin Xu thought for a while, then replied: “For us Huo Family men, we should still emphasize Martial Arts and Qingwen, father, bring him to the battlefield.” Whether he lived or died depended on his fate.

Huo Zhengquan heaved a sigh of relief, “Alright.”
