Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Subjugated Slave
“I don ‘t think so, If she really does change direction, Ying Ran and the others should have received the news. Since she didn’t send a letter back, that means that the princess of Nanjiang hasn’t changed her route. Based on this king’s guess, the princess of Nanjiang is very likely to have infiltrated the Great Wei Kingdom, but our people haven’t discovered her. It seems that this princess of Nanjiang is also a difficult character to deal with. ”

Although for Fu Yingran’s daughter, The Regent did not come in contact with much, But maybe it’s father and daughter nature, He inexplicably believed in Fu Yingran, Although she was now Ye Lan’s Crown Princess, But her roots were in the Great Wei, She still had his Fu Family bloodline flowing through her body, so he believed that once Fu Yingran received any news that was detrimental to Great Wei, she would definitely send someone to report it. Since Fu Yingran hadn’t sent back the news yet, it meant that everything was still under her control, so the Regent wasn’t very worried.

However, the fact proved that the Regent’s thoughts were correct. Just as the father and son were not even able to speak a cup of tea, the steward of Tianyi Village, led by the old steward, once again entered the Regent’s Mansion. This time, the Regent met him in the study room.

When the steward saw the regent, The steward said, “The young steward of Tianyi Village greets His Highness the Regent. Just now, Nalan Jinhong, the side-by-side king of Yelan Kingdom, went to Tianyi Village and found the young one. He told the young one to send a message to His Highness that Princess Mu Linghua of Nanjiang had already sneaked into the capital. The young miss and Crown Prince Yelan have also personally come to the Great Wei Kingdom. They are following Mu Linghua along the way.”

Young miss has said that once she arrives in Great Wei, she will definitely summon the spies left in Great Wei in order to understand the current situation of Great Wei and inquire about Mu Lingfeng’s whereabouts. Therefore, Young miss sent word to the Regent to make preparations in advance. Once she gathers the spies in Great Wei, we will surround them all. ”

When the Regent heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately said, “Alright, this king knows. I have to trouble the steward to make this trip. If there is anything I need to do in the Regent’s Mansion, just send someone to inform me. My Regent’s Mansion will definitely go all out.”

Not to mention that Tian Yizhuang had really helped him a lot in this matter, even with his friendship with Duanmu Yuan, his Regent’s Manor had no choice but to accept this favor. He should take care of Tian Yizhuang even if it was reasonable.

The steward was not polite when he said that. He immediately said, “Thank you, Your Highness. With Your Highness’s words, my Tian Yi Village will surely be able to develop in the Great Wei Kingdom for a long time. Since this is the case, I have already brought the small words. I believe Your Highness still has things to attend to. I won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.” As he spoke, he bowed to the Regent and prepared to leave.

When the Regent heard this, he did not ask for any retention, because he did have something to arrange for it personally.

He then instructed the old butler, “Alright, then I’ll trouble the old butler to send the butler off for this king.”

“Your Highness!” The butler bowed to the Regent and left the study with the butler.

Receiving the news from Fu Yingran, Knowing her plan, The Regent immediately had a plan in mind. He did need to arrange this personally, After the old butler left with the butler, He immediately sent for Fu Tianchen and the other two brothers to come to the study and tell them what Fu Yingran said. Then he said, “Tianchen, immediately mobilize the city protection camp of the Guards Legion Corps and send this king’s order for them to be on standby at any time. Once news of Yingran arrives, we will immediately take action and make sure to catch all these scouts.”

“Tian Yang, go to Prince Jing’s Mansion immediately and let Duanmu Jing enter the palace immediately. Protect the Emperor well, so as to prevent the Southern Spirit Scouts from sneaking into the palace and harming the Emperor.” These Nanjiang people were all pervasive. No one dared to guarantee that they would suddenly appear anywhere. Therefore, it was necessary to be careful. After all, the safety of the Emperor was related to the rise and fall of the Great Wei Kingdom, and they could not be careless in the slightest.

After he finished speaking, the Fu brothers replied, “Yes, father, my son will go immediately.” As he spoke, he left the Regent’s Mansion one after another.

Moreover, Mu Linghua and Chen Bao had entered the capital of the Great Wei Empire as Fu Yingran had expected. They had immediately gathered the leaders of the scouts left in the Great Wei Empire in the largest restaurant in the capital. With her status, Mu Linghua naturally echoed every single one of them, so it wasn’t long before everyone had arrived.

When Mu Linghua saw that everyone was here, he took the lead and said, “Today, I invited you all here because I just arrived at the Great Wei Kingdom and don’t know anything about the current situation. Therefore, I want to inquire about the current situation in the Great Wei Kingdom and find out about my Brother Wang’s whereabouts.”

After listening to her, One of the leaders replied respectfully, “Answer the princess, The king had already left Great Wei for Tianshui Country three months ago. He is not currently in Great Wei, “The situation in the Great Wei Kingdom is very chaotic. Their throne changed more than three months ago. The original Emperor, Fu Tianqi, has abdicated. The current Emperor is Fu Zihao, who is only ten years old. As the Emperor is still young, Prince Duan was made the Regent. Before the Emperor came of age, he had full authority to handle all the affairs of the Great Wei Kingdom.”

After hearing the leader’s words, Mu Linghua frowned slightly. Now that Brother Wang was not in the Great Wei Kingdom, and the Great Wei Kingdom was under the control of some Regent King, she would not have done much to stay in the Great Wei Kingdom. Wouldn’t her trip to the Great Wei Kingdom be in vain?

She suddenly remembered that when her father was still alive, he had ordered Brother Wang and Sun Shuyi to cultivate large quantities of grain in the Great Wei Kingdom. Seeing that it was autumn harvest time, she did not know what the result was. So, she asked, “Then, what about the grain that my father ordered to be planted in the Great Wei Kingdom? Now, it is all harvested?”

Hearing Mu Linghua mention food, Everyone was instantly enraged. Someone immediately said, “Princess, there’s something you don’t know, The Regent of the Great Wei Kingdom was too hateful, Originally, when the grain was about to be harvested, The reason why the king had been hiding in the Great Wei Kingdom, “It was for the sake of harvesting this batch of grain to prepare for the rejuvenation of the Southern Border. However, I never thought that just as we gathered everyone to prepare for harvesting, the Regent of the Great Wei Kingdom brought all of his Iron Cutting Army and snatched all the grain overnight. Our Southern Border was empty this time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Linghua was furious in his heart. He actually stood up and asked, “Who exactly is this Regent? He actually has such great ability?”

Seeing that the princess was angry, the leader said, He immediately replied, “This Regent is the former Prince Duan, The father of Yelan Crown Princess Fu Yingran, Thirteen years ago, he defeated Ye Lan and was personally conferred the title of Iron Hat King by the emperor of the Great Wei. His hereditary heritage was ignored. It could be seen that Wang did not kneel. Now, he righteously controlled the entire Great Wei Kingdom. Therefore, there was nothing he could not do in the Great Wei Kingdom. That was why the Great King had no choice but to leave the Great Wei Kingdom and go to Tianshui Kingdom for help.

After all, when the previous king was still alive, he had already appointed Shui Liulian, the princess of the Tianshui Kingdom, as his wife. Moreover, the Emperor of the Tianshui Kingdom has no children, so there is only one princess. So as long as the king marries the princess of the Tianshui Kingdom, he will be in charge of the entire Tianshui Kingdom. This will also be a great help to revive our southern border. ”

After Mu Linghua heard this, His brows furrowed even deeper. Thus, she said worriedly, ‘”Yes, I know. This is an extraordinary time. It’s not convenient for you to stay here for a long time. Let’s split up first. Don’t worry, I and Brother Wang will not forget what you’ve done for the Southern Region. After the Southern Region revives, you will be our meritorious officials. When the time comes, you will naturally be able to seal off your wife and son.” In order to hold on to these people, she had no choice but to make a promise to everyone.

However, the leader said, “Princess Xie, we are originally citizens of the Southern Region. We should have contributed to the rejuvenation of the Southern Region. How dare we have any extravagant hopes? We only hope that there will be a powerful country behind us as a backing. After all, no one wants to be a subjugated slave.” Actually, this is also what they think in their hearts. Everyone knows that the royal family has no real feelings for you. Now, they can promise you in times of crisis.

When the day comes when power reigns, Who would remember what he said back then, At that time, they would be afraid of you, Gao Zhen Zhu. Don’t say anything about sealing off your wife and shady son. I’m afraid that you will still end up as a crafty rabbit cooking. Therefore, everyone didn’t care what Mu Ling Hua said. The reason why they would willingly hide in the Great Wei Kingdom and be that shameless spy was because they didn’t want to be subjugated slaves anymore.

Hearing the words “subjugated slave”, Mu Linghua’s mood instantly dimmed. Yes, she was just a subjugated princess, so what qualifications did she have to dictate to others, and what ability did she have to make promises to everyone? Judging from the current situation, no matter what, it was all because he wanted someone.

So she immediately softened her tone and said, “Everyone, I will remember. If my southern border revives one day, I will definitely let Brother Wang fulfill what I said today.”

Mu Ling Hua also secretly decided in her heart that if the southern border really had a day of revival, she would definitely let Brother Wang reward these meritorious officials. After all, these people were still guarding the southern border during the most dangerous times. They were worthy of such a reward. After all, everyone knew that adding flowers to the brocade was easy and sending charcoal in the snow was difficult.

As soon as she finished speaking, the leader who spoke first should have stood up and bowed to Mu Ling Hua, saying, “Then my subordinates have thanked the princess first. Just as the princess said, this is an extraordinary time, so I can’t stay here for long to avoid exposing my whereabouts.”

Right now, Great Wei was investigating the spies wantonly, We’ve lost a lot of people, If we’re exposed again, Then our Nanjiang really doesn’t have any influence in the Great Wei, “We don’t know anything about the Great Wei. It will be even more difficult to revive the Southern Region. After all, the Great Wei and Yelan are related by marriage. Without the Great Wei, we won’t be able to know anything about Ye Lan’s actions. So we’ll go back first. Princess, you should take care of yourself. If there’s nothing else, we should leave the Great Wei Kingdom as soon as possible.”

After hearing the leader’s words, Mu Linghua could only nod his head and say, “Alright, I understand. You guys should be careful as well. I will leave the Great Wei Kingdom and head to Tianshui Kingdom to help Brother Wang. Wait in the Great Wei Kingdom, don’t act rashly. Everything needs to be based on preserving your strength.”

After Mu Linghua finished speaking, everyone stood up and bowed to her, “Your subordinates, remember, take care of yourself, princess. Then we will leave first.” After saying that, everyone planned to leave the restaurant.

However, as soon as they opened the door, they were forced back into the room by the bright broadsword at the door. Mu Linghua was puzzled when he saw everyone return. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a man wearing armor and walking in with a serious expression. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Surround this general. We can’t let a single one of them go.”

Thus, Mu Linghua watched helplessly as he captured all his subordinates. She did not know who the leader was, but she could recognize Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran who were following behind him even if they had turned into ashes. This was her enemy who had killed her own country. She, Mu Linghua, had fallen to this day. These two people could be said to be indispensable.
