Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 130
Chapter 130 Half A Token
Fu Yingran sees that he is still so righteous, but he says from afar, “That’s right, I almost forgot. Even when the southern border was at its peak, you, Mu Lingfeng, gave birth to a child with someone else in the Great Wei. And the child’s mother is said to be your cousin. In that case, Imperial Concubine He is indeed magnanimous. I admire her.”
If it was her, Fu Yingran, she would definitely not be able to tolerate her own man. If something like this happened with another woman, she would either have it all or abandon it all. She would definitely not let herself wander around in pain like this.
Fu Yingran glanced at Wu He, who had left silently, and then looked at Mu Lingfeng, who was filled with anger. He thought in his heart, how could he delay Mu Lingfeng, so that Huyan Mingshuo could find her as soon as possible according to the scent of the mysterious fragrance.
But just as she was about to find a topic to stall for time, Mu Lingfeng suddenly stood up. He walked directly to her side and grabbed her arm. “I almost forgot about Sun Shuyi. It’s all thanks to you and Prince Jing. I heard that Duanmu Jing is the proper young master of the Heavenly Villa, and you must be the Eldest Miss of the Heavenly Villa. Right now, this king is weak and needs the full support of the Heavenly Villa.”
I’ll trouble you to follow me to the Heavenly Villa, Better give me another order, Let the people of Tian Yi Villa come forward to recruit troops for our southern border, “Form an army and then hand it over to this king for full command to help this king revive the southern border. Don’t worry. If Tian Yizhuang can really do this, this king can promise you that you won’t marry Shui Liulian. From now on, you will be the queen above everyone in the southern border, and even Concubine He will be subordinate to you. What do you think?”
As long as Tian Yizhuang could fulfill his wish, there was no need for him to provoke other women. He, Mu Lingfeng, did not have so much time to waste on other women. Moreover, he had never come into contact with Shui Liulian. Whether he was tall, short, fat or thin, and his temperament was good, he did not know at all whether he could help him accomplish it or not.
But this Fu Yingran was different. As the eldest princess of the Great Wei Kingdom, Eldest Miss of the Heavenly Villa, her own power could not be underestimated. In addition, she had already planted a loyalty gu for her. With the loyalty gu in her body, Fu Yingran would definitely be used by him.
As soon as Fu Yingran heard that Mu Lingfeng was going to Heavenly Villa, she immediately thought about it. She thought that if she went to Heavenly Villa, it would be good. After all, it was her territory. Even if she wanted to leave some clues for Huyan Mingshuo, it would be much more convenient. Besides, at least within the scope of Heavenly Villa, her safety could be guaranteed.
Thus, she immediately agreed, “Alright, I can take you to Tianyi Villa or give them orders according to your wishes. However, I don’t dare guarantee that I will succeed. After all, Yelan has already subdued the Great Wei Kingdom and the Great Chen Kingdom. Uniting the forces of these three countries is not something a small Tianyi Villa can shake.”
Fu Yingran was telling the truth. On this continent, the strongest were the three countries. Right now, these three countries were all sent by Huyan Mingshuo alone, so their strength was naturally unshakable. Therefore, no matter which faction it was, it was impossible for them to shake Huyan Mingshuo’s position unless she personally took action.
Although Tian Yizhuang was currently in charge of the world’s economic power, he could only protect himself. He definitely did not have the strength to resist the Night Tide Army.
However, Mu Lingfeng did not think about this. Right now, he had been destroyed by the desire for revenge. He wanted to use the Heavenly Villa to recruit troops for him, and then he would bring these people to fight against Huyan Mingshuo to regain control of the Southern Region.
So when he saw Fu Yingran agree, he said, Without thinking too much, After all, he had personally planted the Loyalty Gu for Ying Ran. He was absolutely at ease with the Loyalty Gu. After all, he had been nurtured with his own body since he was young, so he said to Ying Ran without any scruples, “You don’t have to worry about this. You just need to bring this king to Tianyi Villa and pass on the order. This king has other plans.”
Seeing him say this, Fu Yingran did not say anything else. He directly stood up and patted his butt as he walked in front, saying, “Alright then, I’ll take you to Tianyi Manor. As for whether or not it can be accomplished, it’s up to you.”
Mu Lingfeng saw that she had left on her own. Call Wu He and follow Fu Yingran to the Tian Yizhuang branch. Along the way, the three of them didn’t say much. Only Wu He looked at the two of them from time to time, his eyes filled with indelible jealousy. This woman was going to be suppressed by him in the future, and she herself couldn’t complain at all. After all, Mu Lingfeng was already the most benevolent of them all. How could she dare to think otherwise?
As for Mu Lingfeng and Fu Yingran, they walked forward with their own worries in mind. After walking for about four hours, The three of them finally found the branch of Tian Yizhuang in the Great Chen Kingdom. Although Fu Yingran had ordered all the forces of Tian Yizhuang in the Great Chen Kingdom to withdraw, Duanmu Yuan still had some forces in the Great Chen Kingdom because the Emperor of the Great Chen Kingdom was old friends with Duanmu Yuan. He only wanted them to stop doing business during this period of time.
So when Fu Yingran brought Mu Lingfeng into Tianyi Manor, The steward here seemed to be at a loss. Just now, he had just received news from the headquarters, telling them to go all out to find the whereabouts of the young miss. The messenger had only just left when the legendary young miss brought Mu Lingfeng to the door. It really didn’t take much effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go.
Therefore, when Fu Yingran and the others entered the Heaven’s Pavilion, the steward immediately spread the news of Fu Yingran’s arrival. On the other hand, he smiled at Ying Ran and said, “I don’t know why the eldest young miss is here today. I hope that the eldest young miss can atone for the loss. I just don’t know why the eldest young miss is here today.”
The steward of the Great Chen Kingdom, Around forty years old, Being honest, He did things in a rigid manner, It could be said to be an order and an action. As Fu Yingran did not have much contact with Tian Yizhuang, he did not know much about him. Hearing his question, he took two steps forward, turned his back to Mu Lingfeng, and winked at the steward. Then, he said, “Today, I am here mainly because I have something you need to do.”
However, the steward did not understand Fu Yingran’s gaze. He still asked, “Young miss, if you have any instructions, just give me an explanation. This subordinate will definitely do his best to complete them.”
Fu Yingran did not think too much about it. He only thought that the manager was cooperating with him, so he said to him, “Alright, this palace will now order you, as the eldest young miss of Tian Yizhuang, to immediately recruit troops and horses in the countries in the name of Tian Yizhuang and form a strong army, which will be under the full command of the newly appointed Southern Jiang King, Mu Lingfeng.” Then she quietly sat down on the chair and did not make any movements.
After hearing her words, the steward looked at her with a serious expression and said, “Yes, Eldest Miss. This subordinate will definitely follow Eldest Miss’s orders. However, the Villa Master has an order that we must see the token before we can execute any order. Therefore, please show the token to this subordinate.”
Hearing this, Fu Yingran couldn’t help but frown. Isn’t this steward too ungrateful? Haven’t he already winked at him? Why didn’t he understand that this was a trap?
Thus, Fu Yingran glared at him fiercely. Her gaze was sharp enough to kill people. Then, she looked at Mu Lingfeng and saw that he was also looking at her. Thus, she reluctantly took out the half jade pendant from her collar and let the steward look at it before stuffing it back in.
When the steward saw the look in Fu Yingran’s eyes, He was already trembling. Now that he saw that Fu Yingran had only shown half a token, if he couldn’t react, then he would really be stupid. As the steward of the Heavenly Villa Branch, they knew exactly where the four tokens were. Zhou Qing had already conveyed Eldest Miss’s words two years ago.
In order to avoid being forced to do so, When she did something that would endanger the Heavenly Villa, she would split her own token into two. Half of it was placed on herself, while the other half was placed on Prince Yelan Huyan Mingshuo. From then on, as long as it was an order from Eldest Miss, she would have to see the entire jade pendant before she could execute it. She could ignore everything else.
At this moment, he looked at Fu Yingran’s expression. Looking at Mu Lingfeng’s expression and the information he received earlier, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the eldest young miss was definitely kidnapped by Mu Lingfeng. It seemed that the order given by the eldest young miss was also forced by Mu Lingfeng, so he thought for a moment and said, “This subordinate knows. This subordinate will go down and arrange it. Eldest young miss, please help yourself.”
As he spoke, he turned around and left. He had to quickly send someone to spread the news of the young miss in Tianyi Manor, so that Prince Yelan could come to rescue him.
Thus, he quickened his pace and walked out. When he reached the door, he secretly told the guards, “Protect Eldest Young Miss and keep an eye on Mu Lingfeng at all times. Don’t let him hurt Eldest Young Miss. If anything happens, you guys try your best to stall for time. You must keep them here. I’ll be right back.” Then, with a flash, he rushed towards the location of the Night Tide Army.
When the steward arrived at Nightwave Camp, Huyan Mingshuo was long gone, Only Mu Feng and his son and Nalan Jinhong were in the camp. As Nalan Jinhong and Zhou Qing had worked together, Therefore, the steward did not even think about it. He directly went to Nalan Jinhong’s tent and told him about Fu Yingran and Mu Lingfeng in the Heavenly Villa. He also told him about the orders that Mu Lingfeng had forced Fu Yingran to give them. He also told him to quickly inform Huyan Mingshuo so that he could prepare a plan to rescue Fu Yingran as soon as possible.
After listening to his words, Nalan Jinhong also said with a serious expression, “Thank you. I know what to do. You should go back first and try to stabilize Mu Lingfeng. I will inform His Highness the Crown Prince now.” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately left the tent and disappeared in a flash. For people like them who specialized in gathering intelligence, a step faster was indispensable. Moreover, this matter was urgent, so there was no room for him to delay.
Looking in the direction where Nalan Jinhong left, the steward’s heart was filled with incomparable envy. With such a light skill, he would probably be unable to compare to the dust in his life. No wonder he could only be a small steward. Thus, he sighed and left the Ye Lan Camp, returning to the Heavenly Villa.
When Nalan Jinhong found Huyan Mingshuo with the scent of the Mirage Fragrance, He also used the scent left behind by Fu Yingran to track him all the way to the location of the Tian Yi Villa branch. Therefore, when Nalan Jinhong told him what the steward said, Huyan Mingshuo chuckled and said, “Oh, it’s really a deathly unchangeable nature. He always wants to use other people’s power to achieve his wish. It seems that this southern border only has this little means.”
Looking at Huyan Mingshuo’s indifferent expression, Nalan Jinhong couldn’t help but say, “Stop judging him, Mu Lingfeng, “You should think of a way to rescue Fu Yingran first. Now, Mu Lingfeng is forcing her to order the Heaven’s Pavilion to recruit troops for him to fight back against us. Although it’s just a bunch of mobs, it will inevitably itch if there are too many fleas. We should still stop him.”
Because it involved the secrets of the Tian Yi Villa, the steward did not tell Nalan Jinhong about the half token. Therefore, he did not know that Tian Yi Villa would not execute any orders from Fu Ying Ran unless he saw the entire token. Therefore, he was very anxious right now.
