Chapter 54 - No Wonder My Heart Is Twisted
Teng Yu leaned on the side of the carriage and waited for Yin Xu. At the same time, he thought about how to take care of this person once he arrived at the capital.
After what he had seen last night, he needed to change his decision. With such a dangerous element of uncertainty by his side, he definitely wouldn't be caught off guard.
Of course, he would give him the least amount of respect and trust, but in order for him to sincerely trust him, it would have to depend on this person's later performance.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a kid who grew up in the countryside, nor did it look like the aura a thirteen year old should have. However, no matter how he investigated Yin Xu's intelligence network, the results were all the same.
No one would believe it even if there were no problems with it.
“What is this?” Teng Yu pointed to the humanoid body inside the carriage.
“Oh, I found it in the stable.” Yin Xu responded as he followed his onto the carriage, then waved for the butler to come up and shut the door, blocking Teng Yu's probing gaze.
Teng Yu looked at Wu Sheng, waiting for him to give him an answer.
Wu Sheng did not have the guts to look at his young master's eyes, so he replied obediently: “The young master said he wants to find a doctor to treat his injuries, let's see if he can still live.”
Teng Yu knew that this was an official statement from the moment he heard it.
But seeing that he was about to die, Teng Yu did not have any intentions of intervening, he got on another carriage, and under the kowtowing of a small official, he left.
When they left An County, there were only two carriages and six people. Now, not only did they have two hundred guards, four beautiful maids, and several large carriages as well, the convoy had also left the city in a grandiose manner.
Yin Xu sorted through the items in his medicine chest before taking out a small black bottle. He instructed the butler, “Take off his clothes.”
Old Housekeeper was wiping the blood on the man's face. After hearing Yue Yang's words, he carefully took off the man's clothes, a lot of parts were already stuck to the man's skin with blood, they could only be wiped off bit by bit.
The butler sighed: “Ah, I don't know who this young man offended to be beaten to such a state.”
Yin Xu didn't have much sympathy for him. He sprinkled some medicinal powder on his wound, and then stuffed a pill into his mouth.
There was an extra dirty and smelly patient in the carriage, so Yin Xu was sure that he couldn't stay there any longer. He got on Teng Yu's carriage and took the book from his hands to look at it.
“It's actually ‘Records of Mountains and Rivers'. What's the use of a prince like you looking at this?” Do you want to roam the world? “
Teng Yu was already used to his behavior, so he casually took out a book from the side and said: “You must know what kind of rivers and mountains you will find in the future, right?”
“There's still no shadow of the throne, yet you're already dreaming. Be careful, you're overconfident.”
“With Seventh Young Master here, what's there to worry about?” Teng Yu smiled and helped him put on a hat, thinking: This throne must belong to me, otherwise, I would rather destroy the pillar than give it to someone else.
Yin Xu did not ignore the ruthlessness that flashed past his eyes. He leaned on him with the book in her hand and looked at him.
The carriage had only walked along the official road for half a day when they met Lai Jiquan, who had come to deliver the decree, with a single “command from his majesty”, causing more than two hundred people to kneel on the ground. The only ones who stood were Teng Yu and Yin Xu.
Teng Yu had been exempted from kneeling and accepting orders since he was young, because this matter had been impeached by countless of civil officials before, but he had still been free to do whatever he wanted since he was young.
Yin Xu didn't even have the concept of kneeling. Not to mention a mere eunuch passing down orders, even if the emperor were to personally come, he wouldn't even be able to bend his knees.
Chief Steward Lai stared at Yin Xu with his pair of narrow eyes, and berated him with a high-pitched voice, “Who dares to look down on the imperial edict? Kneel down! “
Teng Yu held Yin Xu's waist with one hand and pulled him into his embrace. A loud and clear kiss landed on Yin Xu's face, then Teng Yu looked at him provocatively and impatiently: “If there's anything, fart now!”
Lai Jiquan was so angry that his entire body was trembling, but he did not dare argue with the Third Prince. Hence, he unwillingly announced the order of the Emperor Dechang, it was simply to get the Third Prince to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Taking the imperial edict into his hands, Teng Yu turned around and threw it to Han Sen, he then called for the convoy to continue their journey, but not only did he not increase their speed, he had even caused the convoy to stop and rest.
“Your Highness, let's hurry up. His Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace.” As one of the Emperor Dechang's trusted aides, Lai Jiquan knew about the situation his husband was in. As a result, he did not treat him with the respect of the other palace maids.
Teng Yu drank the tea that Han Sen had brewed slowly and turned a blind eye to him. Instead, it was Yin Xu who had a strong interest in him.
The first time he saw Han Sen, he knew that this person's yin energy was too abundant and was lacking in yang energy, but was different from his Profound Yin Body, it was more like the type that was neither male nor female.
He thought that this kind of person was only an exception and Han Sen looked rather pleasing to his eyes, so he did not probe further. He did not expect to see so many men and women today, and his heart immediately brightened.
As he sipped his fragrant tea, he thought to himself, Could it be that in this mortal world, besides men and women, there are also men and women who are neither men nor women?
There were all sorts of strange things in the Three Thousand Worlds, Yin Xu did not find it difficult to accept them, but he thought to himself maliciously: Then, when they are doing it, should they use the front or the back?
Carrying this question, Yin Xu kept quiet all the way. It wasn't until he stayed at the inn that he asked Teng Yu in private.
At that time, Teng Yu's expression was a little strange, as if he wanted to laugh but was unable to do so, “You're asking Han Sen and the others?”
“Yeah, from the looks of it, they don't look like normal men nor women.”
Teng Yu looked at Yin Xu with a probing gaze, wanting to see if he truly did not understand, or if he was pretending not to. Later on, he thought, if this youth truly grew up in the countryside, it would be normal for him to not know what a eunuch was.
“Cough, they are all people who have lost their power.”
“Dispose?” Yin Xu did not understand the meaning of these two words.
Teng Yu stared at the space between his legs and made a slicing motion, “This is the meaning of going to the root.”
Yin Xu subconsciously tightened his legs, and fiercely lowered his head to glance at himself, “Ah … Is that what you mean? “Why?”
Which man would be willing to cut off their own child's roots? Wouldn't that be a fate worse than death?
Although Yin Xu's desire was faint, if he lost this part of his body, he wouldn't be able to accept it.
“Besides the emperor, there won't be a second man in the Forbidden Palace. The prince leaves the palace at the age of fifteen. The servants in the palace are either palace maids or eunuchs who have left for their roots.”
“Then isn't it very pitiful to be the Emperor?” Yin Xu looked at Teng Yu with pity in his eyes and said, “You grew up in this kind of environment? No wonder his heart is twisted so badly. “
The corner of Teng Yu's mouth twitched, and he grinded his teeth as he asked: “My heart distorts?”
“I was wrong. It should be said that the hearts of your entire family is extremely twisted.” How could a normal father and son pair kill each other? Even if it was in the Cultivation World, where family affection was light, there were very few people who would view their father and brother as enemies.
Teng Yu thought about the scene he saw that night at the unmarked cemetery, and cursed in his heart: Who knows who's heart is twisted? Would a normal person really run there in the middle of the night to practice their evil arts?
