Demon Lord Gets Married
Chapter 68

Chapter 68 - Calculation

“Empress, General Yun wishes to seek an audience.” A palace maid dressed in green walked up to Imperial Consort Yun and said.

Imperial Consort Yun looked at the reflection of the figure in the bronze mirror, she stroked her temples and asked: “Blue Luan, tell me, am I beautiful today?”

The palace maid took out a rainbow butterfly from a nearby dressing box and shook it with its wings spread out. She placed the hairpin on top of the Imperial Consort Yun's bun and replied with a smile, “The Empress has always been very beautiful, but today her face is flushed red, making her appear exceptionally beautiful.”

Imperial Consort Yun smiled, “This woman still needs the love of men, you'll understand when you get married.”

The Blue Luan chuckled, “Then, this humble servant will have the nerve to ask you for a dowry in the future.”

“Of course, I will definitely replace you a good home in the future.” The Imperial Consort Yun was in a good mood. She stood up and looked at the mirror, then turned around, her exquisite skirt fluttering in the air, making people unable to look at her.

“Let's go.” Imperial Consort Yun walked out of the room, and upon seeing Yun Heran, his smile became even more brilliant, “Big brother.”

Yun Heran stood up and bowed, “This official greets the Imperial Consort's mistress.”

“Why are you being so courteous, brother?” Imperial Consort Yun quickly helped them up and sent them off, “All of you can leave now. Without my permission, no one is allowed to even take half a step near Lanxin Palace.”

“Yes.”

After the palace female eunuch left, Yun Heran then changed from his serious state back then and started to casually size up the palace.

His gaze fell on the Myriad Treasures Pavilion within the hall and he praised, “After not seeing my sister for a few years, my sister's Lanxin Hall has become even more prosperous.” This showed the position of the Imperial Consort Yun in the harem.

A look of satisfaction appeared in Imperial Consort Yun's eyes as she smiled and said, “These are all given to me by the Emperor. Other than that, there's no other use for it.”

Yun Heran chatted with her for a bit before quickly turning to the main topic at hand. “Regarding that matter last time, I know that you and Yi'er must have blamed me for it.

“Brother, what do you mean by that? We all know that you're planning it for us.”

Yun Heran nodded his head: “I was the one who thought the matter to be simple. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to remove the obstacle called Teng Yu and consolidate Yi'er's position.

“Has Big Brother found out who saved him? Is the person rumored to be the real one? “

“You mean the seven children of Huo Family?” The corner of Yun Heran's mouth raised slightly, and ridiculed: “How is that possible? A thirteen year old brat, no matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to save Teng Yu from the hands of twenty over Death Soldiers.

My original plan was to send out Death Soldiers to work with the guards by Teng Yu's side, and even if Han Sen had some tricks up his sleeve, he still wouldn't have been able to guard against them flawlessly. I didn't expect that when the Death Soldiers arrived, the guards beside him had already been wiped clean long ago, and when they saw that Teng Yu only had a few people, they would definitely act on their own, thinking that there's no threat, and cause the entire army to be annihilated. “

“To be able to kill twenty over Death Soldiers in such a short period of time, this helper must have extremely strong martial arts, or he must have more than one person. Unless Huo Zhengquan personally takes action, otherwise, no other person in the entire dynasty has such abilities.”

“In other words, there is someone helping Teng Yu from the shadows?” Imperial Consort Yun frowned, her eyes flickering with a ruthless light.

This is also the reason why I want to get rid of Teng Yu. We cannot let go of anyone who might be a threat to Yi'er. “

“If that's the case, Yi'er's plan in the Liu State was destroyed by someone, it must be because of the Liu Family as well!” Imperial Consort Yun said bitterly.

“It's very possible that this matter was done secretly. If it wasn't for the fact that there are many powers in the Liu State that couldn't replace it, it looks like we have still underestimated this Liu Family. Liu State is their lair after all.

“Earlier, Yi'er mentioned that A and B disappeared in Riverside County. If they were to die or not, I'm afraid that they are also involved.”

“Oh? “There's such a thing?” Yun Heran had no choice but to take it seriously, “The fourth is Yi'er's top ranked Dark Guard, and his Qing Gong is one of the best. Looks like, we need to re-evaluate Teng Yu's strength. “

Imperial Consort Yun was not too worried, “So what if the person behind him is powerful? It's impossible to lift mud up to the wall. “

“What I'm afraid of is that …” This Teng Yu is not truly sloppy, he was deliberately creating an illusion. “

“This is impossible!” Imperial Consort Yun said confidently: “I watched him grow up. If he really had that kind of scheming and endurance, how come he still had nothing to do? The Emperor has spoiled him ever since he was young, and he isn't the same as he is today. Could it be that a mere kid knows how to disguise himself? “

That's terrible.

Yun Heran thought about it, “I'm just worried, what happened recently was too coincidental, and must have been secretly manipulated by some force, I was afraid that you guys might have underestimated him, and would lose out easily.”

“Brother, don't worry, I will send people to watch him, but I think that it is more likely that that mother and son duo did it, as you saw last night, Teng Ji sure has some abilities now.”

“I've always reminded all of you, don't underestimate anyone in this palace.”

“He was sent to the battlefield a long time ago. I couldn't even see him, and Yang Bixuan's woman has always kept a low profile. Her relationship with the Emperor is not ordinary, so I can't just let her off.”

The Imperial Consort Yun's expression was stiff, holding the handkerchief in her hand, she resented the fact that Yang Bi Xuan was a palace maid who grew up taking care of Emperor Dechang, and was three years older than him. She was the emperor's first woman, so the emperor still had some feelings for her.

It was just that this woman had always been very obedient and her presence was extremely low. The emperor had only given her a few things during the New Year and rarely looked through her brand, which was why the Imperial Consort Yun did not place her in her eyes.

“Of all the women in this harem, it's fine if they don't have sons, but how can those with sons not have ambitions?” Especially in a situation like the Emperor Dechang, where there were only three sons, those who were unambitious would be stimulated to the point of being ambitious.

“So what if they are ambitious? I want to see just how many days they can play. The emperor just wants to borrow their hand to give us some warning. They can't shake our position as mother and son.”

“Like I said, be careful.” Yun Heran watched as the Emperor Dechang ascended to the top. He knew very well that usually, the most inconspicuous person would be the one who laughed the last time.

“I know, I've already told Yi'er to restrain himself for now and let number two take care of everything. It's best if that mother and son think we've lost their favor. When the time comes, the emperor definitely won't be able to tolerate them.”

Yun Heran's heart stirred as he lowered his voice and said, “The Emperor is in his prime and is brimming with energy. He can't just keep waiting like this.

Imperial Consort Yun's heart jumped, her eyelids trembled, she touched her chest and said: “Big brother, don't have any extreme thoughts, this is good, as long as the emperor stands behind me, Yi'er's position will be even more stable, why should I be afraid of others?”

Yun Heran rolled his eyes, laughed and said: “I understand, I will replace someone to bring up this matter on the day of the birthday.” He had an idea in his mind, but he did not plan to tell Imperial Consort Yun.

When he returned to the capital this time, he could already clearly feel the emperor's alienation towards him. Thinking about the consequences of Liu Family, he had to be on guard; any strong external relative would not be liked by the emperor.

“Oh right, this time I brought a few people with me. All of them have been meticulously trained for many years, and their looks and temperaments are not bad, moreover they are loyal and devoted to Yun Family. Pick two and leave them by your side? ” Yun Heran tried to test the waters.

Imperial Consort Yun suddenly stood up, “You … Why would you think that? I haven't lost my favor, so why would I look for someone to block it for me? “

Seeing her intense reaction, Yun Heran couldn't help but feel disapproving, but he still consoled him, “Don't be angry, I was just planning for a rainy day. I know the Emperor is very fond of you, but think about it, you're not young anymore, isn't the Emperor fond of young and beautiful concubines?”

Imperial Consort Yun became angry from embarrassment, “So what? Which man doesn't like young and beautiful? As long as he still has me in his heart, this harem will be my world. “

“But what if he changes his mind?”

The corner of Imperial Consort Yun's mouth twitched, she tried her best to suppress her grief and replied: “Impossible! Back then, in order for him to successfully marry Liu Ru`er, I had invited myself to be her concubine.

I know that, but a man's heart changes when he says so. It's impossible for him to live with his guilt for the rest of his life, especially after he personally took care of Liu Ruo'er, the guilt he felt has lessened a lot, and it's not that he wanted you to send him away, but he's just keeping him by your side in case. I heard that the harem favors Feng Zhaoyi the most.

The Imperial Consort Yun lowered her eyes. “The Emperor just wants something new. There have been many such women coming and going over the years, and it's not worth mentioning.”

You just have to decide it for yourself. However, the people I am bringing this time are not only people who have talent and looks, even if you do not need them, you can send them to the Second Prince and the Third Prince's side. “

“Haven't we delivered enough people to them over the years? It's not like she's the main wife or the secondary wife, so it's not very useful. ” Imperial Consort Yun waved her hand.

“Then why don't we just let them be the main concubine and side concubine?” Yun Heran said indifferently, “Although Second Prince has two secondary wives, there are still two secondary wives, and Third Prince doesn't even have one. As the highest-ranked imperial concubine, it's only right for you to form a connection with them.”

“But their identities?” The Imperial Consort Yun was a little hesitant. A prince's imperial concubine should at least be of the fifth rank.

“Don't worry about that. Pick out a few officials who are close to us and give them a proper birth. There's no need to think about being the principal wife. The secondary wife can still manage a bit.”

“Alright, I will handle this matter, even Teng Yu's main wife has been decided. He's already at this age, it won't make sense if we drag this on any longer.” In the past, the Imperial Consort Yun had always thought that she was unable to become the Lord of the Third Prince and refused to choose an imperial concubine for the Third Prince.

“This candidate is not easy to decide on.”

“That's right, the rank is too low and the rank is too high. We can't have people on our side, and we can't have people fighting against us. We also have a female descendant of the same age, it's really hard to choose among the civil and military people in the imperial court.”

Teng Yu sneezed in his dreams, turned his body around and took a few breaths of fresh air, then quickly put his back against a cold body. He vaguely thought: I must have caught a cold sleeping with the ice cream in my arms in the middle of winter.
