Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 113

Chapter 113 Goodbye Father And Daughter
Seeing that Prince Duan had already promised to lead the troops back, everyone was relieved. Thus, they followed the Emperor’s instructions and said, “Yes, I will leave.” As they spoke, everyone left the Hall of Diligence.

After everyone left, he impatiently went to the harem and directly arrived at Kun Ning Palace. Just as the Empress was about to take a nap after lunch, the Emperor rudely walked to the bedside, took off his coat, lifted the blanket, and lay down. Without another word, he hugged the Empress in his arms with a helpless expression.

The Empress wanted to refuse him when she saw him in her bed, but when she saw that he was in a bad mood, she did not stop him. She only said indifferently, “What’s wrong with the Emperor? Did you go to the wrong place? This is Kun Ning Palace, not Shu Yi Palace. The Emperor has left, right? Your concubines are a little tired. Let me rest for a while, okay?”

When the Empress and the Crown Prince received the imperial decree to let them return to the capital, He didn’t want to go back to the palace, but the eunuchs and bodyguards who went to deliver the decree received the decree, The Emperor said, No matter what, she had to bring the Empress and the Crown Prince back to the palace. Therefore, the Empress and the Crown Prince were forcibly brought back to the palace by the guards along the way. She had not spoken a word to anyone else during the past few days when she returned to the palace. Therefore, she did not know that Sun Shuyi was gone. Therefore, she still reminded the Emperor bitterly in her heart to hurry up and leave.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor hugged her even tighter and said with red eyes, “Min’er, don’t be like this, okay?” Don’t mention anyone else in the future, okay? I promise you that you will be fine for the rest of your life. From now on, there will be no one besides you around me. I have been confused for the past few years and caused you to suffer so much grievances. Will you give me another chance? “When the crisis is over, I will take you to all the great rivers and mountains of the Great Wei Kingdom, okay?”

Hearing his words, the Empress felt uncomfortable in her heart. Tears unconsciously flowed down her cheeks. It had been three years since she had laid in his arms for the first time. This was her husband and the only man she loved in her life. After hearing his words, how could she remain indifferent?

So she put her head close to his chest and sobbed, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you. I hope you won’t lie to me again this time.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. Other than you, I won’t take anyone else in this life.” As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and put down the tent. With a single roll, he pressed the Empress beneath him…

After Prince Duan left the palace, he brought the Iron Cutting Army he had personally created and headed north to see Huyan Mingshuo. He thought in his heart, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the entire Great Wei Kingdom would be in a state of panic.

He had to ask Huyan Mingshuo what his purpose was, and Ying Ran actually didn’t stop him. He didn’t believe that Huyan Mingshuo had sent troops to attack Great Wei just to vent his anger on behalf of Prince Duan’s Manor. There must be something else.

Thus, Prince Duan led a portion of the Iron Cutting Army all the way, Finally, five days later, When they arrived at the camp of the Ye Lan army, Meet the army of Ye Lan, He immediately ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot. He didn’t bring many soldiers out this time. After all, he didn’t intend to start a war with Huyan Mingshuo. After all, he was his son-in-law. He just wanted to have a good talk with him and hope that he could solve this problem peacefully. So he went to Ye Lan Camp alone to see Huyan Mingshuo.

At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo was also discussing with Fu Yingran, The next step was to attack that city. They were now waiting for the Great Wei Emperor to send someone to talk to them. Otherwise, he would have completely taken down the Great Wei Kingdom. Suddenly, a guard hurriedly ran over and reported, “Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince of the Great Wei Kingdom.”

Upon hearing that Prince Duan had arrived, the two of them said, They exchanged glances. He immediately stood up and went out to greet him. They had already guessed, The Emperor of the Great Wei would definitely let Prince Duan’s Mansion lead the troops. Come and fight him, But they didn’t expect that, The Great Wei Emperor actually dragged it out until now. Originally, they had planned to take down a few border cities of the Great Wei by force, waiting for the Great Wei Emperor to send Prince Duan and his son to negotiate with him so that they could make their demands. However, they had never expected that the Great Wei Emperor would only send Prince Duan after they had taken over more than 30% of the cities of the Great Wei.

Fortunately, Prince Duan came, Otherwise, they didn’t know what to do next. If they really relied on force to attack the capital, even if Huyan Mingshuo wanted to let Great Wei off, the subjects of Ye Lan would probably not agree. After all, there would be casualties if there was a war. At that time, they had paid too much to capture Great Wei, so he needed to give an explanation to the subjects of Ye Lan.

Fortunately, now that Prince Duan had arrived, they could take the opportunity to make a request. As long as Great Wei agreed, he would have an excuse to withdraw his troops. Only in this way would they be able to achieve the result they wanted and fulfill his promise to deal with Ying Ran.

The two of them really wanted to go out to greet Prince Duan, However, they had only just walked out of the tent a few steps ago, And he saw Prince Duan walking towards them alone, He didn’t even bring a guard with him. It could be seen that he trusted Huyan Mingshuo very much. Fu Yingran saw Prince Duan from afar and immediately ran over. He pulled on his sleeve and said, “Father, you’re here. If you don’t come, we’ll be heading to the capital soon. Will you be the only one here?” “Did your brothers come with you? How is Mother Concubine at home?”

As soon as Fu Yingran saw her father, she asked endlessly. There was nothing she could do about it. She had been married to Ye Lan for more than a year. Besides meeting Duanmu Jing once, she had not seen a single relative. Now that she saw her father, it was inevitable for her to be excited.

Seeing that Fu Yingran had asked everyone one by one, Prince Duan also knew that his daughter was homesick. Thus, he reached out to touch her hair and said, “Your mother is fine, The two brothers were also very good, “This prince is the only one here this time. Your second brother and Prince Jing are staying behind to guard the capital. Your eldest brother is staying in the manor to guard everyone in the manor. After all, the Crown Prince of the Southern Region, Mu Lingfeng, is still hiding in the Great Wei. The capital cannot be defenseless and the manor cannot be careless. Besides, even if this prince is the only one here, you two can’t take this prince’s life, right?”

“Father-in-law is getting serious. Ying Ran and I have been waiting for your arrival. There are some things that we really need to discuss with Father-in-law. Father-in-law, please come in first.” Huyan Mingshuo made an invitation gesture and led Prince Duan into his tent. Fu Yingran also hung his hands on Prince Duan’s arms and helped him into the tent.

After the three of them entered the tent, they took their seats. After the three of them sat down, Prince Duan said, “Tell me about your plans. Why did you suddenly attack Great Wei?” “Right now, more than 30% of the cities of the Great Wei are in your hands. This king has come to take back the cities that you seized. Let me know if this is a war or not.”

Hearing Prince Duan’s words, Huyan Mingshuo did not hide anything, He directly said, “Father-in-law, Actually, we don’t really want to take down Great Wei, The reason we attacked Great Wei earlier was purely because we didn’t want Great Wei to fall into Prince Nanjiang’s hands. We thought that instead of watching Great Wei become a puppet in the southern border, it would be better if we, Ye Lan, took over Great Wei. After all, as long as Ying Ran stayed in Ye Lan, Ye Lan would not be able to suppress Great Wei.

And now, Nanjiang was annihilated by us a month ago. Therefore, I only want to use this war to intimidate the countries and prevent the chess pieces hidden in the southern border from causing chaos. Ying Ran and I have already discussed it. We plan to take advantage of the chaos caused by the southern border and send troops to take down the countries and rule the world at the right time.

I know, taking the Great Wei as the target of attack, Father-in-law will definitely not hide anything, However, Lord Father-in-law must also know that, The current Great Wei, It was nothing more than an empty watch, There is only an empty shell left. In addition, in the past few years, because the Great Wei Emperor trusted Shu Fei too much, the royal family has lost the prestige it deserves. The court is also in chaos. However, the Great Wei Emperor is currently in his prime. If the Great Wei Kingdom wants to change dynasties, it needs an opportunity, and I, Ye Lan, want to intimidate all countries, also need an opponent.

So I chose to attack Great Wei, “Of course, the Great Wei is Ying Ran’s home country. I can’t go too far. I’ve already promised Ying Ran that even if I, Yelan, really take down the capital of the Great Wei, the Great Wei Kingdom will not have to submit to me. As long as the Great Wei Emperor abdicates, the Crown Prince ascends the throne, and your father-in-law personally regents, all you need to do in the future is pay tribute to my Yelan Kingdom with the appropriate resources.”

After Prince Duan heard this, he couldn’t help but be frank in his heart, and his expression turned bad. In this way, although Great Wei was still surnamed Fu, and he didn’t have to submit to Ye Lan, he had to pay tribute year after year. Although the other party was his direct son-in-law, he couldn’t compare to the Fu Clan bloodline flowing in his body.

Thus, he said to Huyan Mingshuo, “As far as the relationship between you and me is concerned, this king should be gratified to have such ambitions. However, as far as the Fu family bloodline flowing in this king’s body is concerned, this king is quite dissatisfied. Thinking back to the time when the Fu family ancestor was not easy to establish a country, this king really cannot bear to watch the good Great Wei Kingdom become riddled with holes.

“This prince also knows that in the current situation, it is inevitable for the Great Wei Kingdom to change its dynasty. This prince is not an unreasonable person. I can agree to your request. After this prince returns, I will discuss with the Empress Dowager to have the Emperor upload it to the Crown Prince. However, this prince must be surnamed Fu. Today, my father-in-law has the nerve to make a request to you.”

Looking at Prince Duan’s aged face, Huyan Mingshuo couldn’t bear it anymore. Looking at the dilemma in Fu Yingran’s eyes, he said, “Father-in-law, what do you have to say, but it’s fine. As long as I can do it, I won’t delay it.”

Seeing Huyan Mingshuo let go, Prince Duan immediately said, “In other words, it took you a lot of effort to take down the cities of the Great Wei Kingdom. This prince has no reason to ask for them, so this prince is willing to use a million gold taels to compensate for Yelan’s loss. Would you let the Yelan army withdraw from the Great Wei Kingdom?” This king can also agree that in the future, Great Wei will pay tribute to Yelan every year, but no Yelan army can be stationed in Great Wei.

If Crown Prince Shuo can agree to this king’s request, no matter when Ye Lan needs it in the future, I, Great Wei, will stand up at the first possible moment. If Crown Prince Shuo cannot agree, then this king can only ignore our son-in-law relationship and be ordered to meet you on the battlefield. ”

Prince Duan said that after I’m done, He looked straight at Huyan Mingshuo, Waiting for his answer, After a moment of silence, Huyan Mingshuo readily agreed, “Alright, I can agree to your father-in-law’s request. As long as Fu Zihao ascends the throne, our army of Ye Lan will immediately withdraw from the territory of the Great Wei Kingdom. I can also promise you that Ye Lan will not send troops to guard the Great Wei Kingdom. However, father-in-law must also promise me that the Great Wei Kingdom will not be enemies with Ye Lan for generations.”

“This king can assure you that as long as there is one more person in my Duanwang Palace, I will definitely urge the Emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom not to be enemies with Ye Lan.” Prince Duan saw Huyan Mingshuo agree immediately and immediately expressed his stance. In terms of the current situation of Great Wei, he really did not have the ability to be enemies with Ye Lan.
