The day of the emperor's death happened to be a new year, and the palace had been depressed for a long time because of the emperor's illness and the mood of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Therefore, even though the new year was approaching, there was no joy at all. Silk, put on filial piety.

National mourning, the whole country mourned, as if overnight, the sad atmosphere spread all the way from Kyoto.

Teng Yu presided over Emperor Dechang's funeral in person, and the ministers found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was completely capable of acting on his own, and his performance was unmistakable.

After returning from the imperial mausoleum, Teng Yu locked himself in the prince's mansion, ordered four or five altars of spirits and drank alone in Jinggeyuan to get very drunk.

This was the first time Yin Xu indulged himself after he left. He carried the wine jar and went to sit under the big tree in the backyard, talking to the tree while pouring wine.

"He treasures you so much that he even left you behind and ran away, haha..." As the only plant in the Prince's Mansion, this tree grows extremely luxuriantly, and it has never lost a single leaf in winter, and its branches have already begun to grow towards the tree. Stretch outside.

However, shortly after Yin Xu left, its growth rate slowed down. Teng Yu knew that the spirit-gathering formation had failed, but he couldn't restore the formation after replacing all the jade stones.

It's a pity that Wang Ren is not here, otherwise there would be someone who could take care of this precious tree for Yin Xu.

Teng Yu didn't know that Yin Xu's departure was because of this tree, otherwise he would have burned it down.

"It's been almost four months since I left. Even if I went to the farthest frontier, I should come back, right?... Do you take me to heart... Just tell me to wait for you to come back, and don't say how long it will take, You are not afraid that I will forget you after a long time? Hehe... yes, why are you afraid? You will eat me in this life, know that I will wait for you no matter what, know that I cannot do without you, wait for you Come back... wait for you to come back... see how I deal with you!"

Teng Yu smashed the empty wine jar against the wall, and sat silently for a long time, staring at the familiar yard, his mind full of memories from the two of them, he closed his eyes and leaned against the tree, "Come back soon, okay?" ..."

Thinking about his side, everyone left him, he actually became a loner, even the last bright moon didn't know where he went, how long will this kind of life last?

Every day, he goes to court step by step, disperses court, and approves memorials. Apart from resting in the palace, he rests in the Prince's Mansion every day. Day after day, he is really afraid that one day he will wake up and see his wrinkled face and white hair in the mirror. But there is no such person around.

He has never given up on searching, and the bounty offered is getting higher and higher, and the scope is getting bigger and bigger. If he didn't know that Yin Xu is not interested in neighboring countries, he would even send people to search in other countries.

In four months, it was enough for people in the world to rummage through the girders. Teng Yu had given up much hope of finding them, and could only wait for Yin Xu to show up.

The first ray of sunlight shone in the courtyard at dawn, and Teng Yu was fully awake after opening his eyes. He didn’t need to rush to the palace in a hurry today, but it only took one night to fall. After standing up, he was still the same calm Your Majesty the Crown Prince.

Opening the door of the courtyard, Han Sen was also standing outside all night, his old face turning purple from the cold.

"Go back and rest, the palace has returned to the palace."

Han Sen stomped his feet and said with a trembling voice, "Your Highness, you have to take care of your health. Although the world is big, you are about to become the king of a country. You will definitely find Huo Qishao."

"It doesn't matter that you are the king of a country. If he doesn't want to come back, no one will find him." No one knows Yin Xu's ability better than him. He only needs to change his face, or hide in that uninhabited place No one can find him.

Sometimes Teng Yu even dreamed that he was hiding in a deep mountain to practice, and then he became a fairy, and left the mundane world, and had nothing to do with him.

Every time he dreamed of such a scene, he would wake up with fright, and then couldn't sleep all night.

Han Sen didn't know how to comfort him anymore. He had already said what he needed to say these days. He touched his sleeve and took out a letter from inside, "This is the letter sent by Marshal Huo last night. The person who sent the letter Said, Marshal Huo has set off to return to Beijing."

Teng Yu took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, but there was no news he wanted, so he put away the letter with heavy eyebrows.

Huo Zhengquan also fought a battle a year ago, and he has already wiped out the fifth pirate team with a large number of people at sea. According to their previous plan, after this pirate team is wiped out, the navy can temporarily rest for a period of time. After that, within three years However, as long as they don't go ashore to make trouble, the main goal of the navy is to rectify and expand the army.

He often corresponded with Huo Zhengquan, mainly with a little hope that he would know some news about Yin Xu.

But he was doomed to be disappointed, the relationship between Yin Xu and the Huo family was not close, even after sending several letters, he got the same answer.

Teng Yu also specially sent a few secret guards to watch over Wang Ren and the others who were close to Yin Xu. People serving people will definitely find familiar people.

Teng Yu didn't know that Yin Xu had always been alone in his previous life. He was actually the type of person who could endure hardships. As long as he had a goal, he could trap himself for hundreds of years.

"Let Han Qing send our group of people to the capital, temporarily incorporated into the Gyeonggi camp, and then the hall will transfer people to the northeast."

Han Sen nodded in agreement. They also secretly cultivated a team of thousands of people. The weapons were all made in Huizhou, with excellent equipment and sufficient funds. They were also quite a good group of people.

After the defeat of the Yun Family, the Northeast Army suffered heavy casualties, some of the rest were sent home, and some were dispersed and joined the government troops from various places, while the Northeast side was guarded by Qi Xin and his men in the Gyeonggi Camp.

As a result, both sides were short of manpower, Teng Yu happened to turn those people from the dark to the bright, and put them in the northeast for a while.

After Teng Yu left the Prince's Mansion, he wandered around the street for a while, but his identity is different now, and many people on the street know him, and everywhere he goes, there is the sound of kneeling and kowtowing. I went back to the palace.

On the second day, he went to the court normally, and the date of the crown prince's ascension to the throne was set at the court meeting, just one month later.

The Ministry of Rituals did not forget to remind Teng Yu in the midst of the hustle and bustle, is it time to prepare for the queen's position?The queen's palace should also start repairing, otherwise it would be too hasty to start construction after the establishment.

Teng Yu thought to himself: I don't know where the Queen's shadow is, so what are you going to do?Even if Yin Xu came back, he would definitely live with him, not the queen's palace.

He glanced over, and the official of the Ministry of Rites knew the answer, and retreated in fear.

Regarding Yin Xu's disappearance, everyone had various speculations in private. Some people said that he didn't want to be bound by the palace, so he ran away secretly.

Some people said that because His Highness wanted to take a concubine, he ran away from home in a fit of anger, but he never came back after leaving, so he probably gave up?

Some people said that His Highness the Crown Prince was dissatisfied with his tyranny, and the two had a big quarrel, even if they disagreed, Huo Qishao stabbed His Highness the Crown Prince by mistake, fearing that he would be held accountable, he sneaked away.

There are different opinions, and no one knows whether Yin Xu will come back, but they have seen how deep His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's affection for Yin Xu has been during this period of time.

Since that one left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not shown a smile again, even if he is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, everyone can't feel his happiness at all.

However, the ministers cannot always see that the post is empty, let alone accept that the emperor has no heirs, so the matter of accepting concubines after establishing a queen may become a heart disease for the ministers for a long time.

"In the past when Huo Qi was here, it was alright for His Highness to insist on not taking concubines, but now that Huo Qi has gone, how long will His Highness be persistent? Can we just sit and watch His Highness's servants... No one?"

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Marshal Huo will return to court soon. At that time, let's talk together and let Marshal Huo persuade His Highness. His Highness values ​​Marshal Huo so much, and he will definitely listen to him."

"I hope so. In fact, according to the ancestral precepts, the Huo family is not allowed to be married to the royal family. At that time, His Highness was still the third prince. We thought that he gave up the throne, and that one could not give birth to a son, so it was barely a violation. But now His Highness is the third prince." Now that he is about to ascend the throne, the previous marriage decree should not be counted."

"If you have the ability to say this to His Highness yourself, I dare not anyway, and it's not like you can't see how deep his feelings for that person are."

"Let me tell you, let's leave this matter alone. As long as His Highness is a normal man, can he endure being left alone for a long time? At that time, we don't need to mention it, he will accept the concubine himself."

Everyone was a man, and felt that this made sense, so they waited with great anticipation for His Royal Highness to wake up.
