Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 A Final Struggle
But at this moment, Emperor Da Chen also used the lives of these Nanjiang people as bargaining chips to coerce Mu Ling Hua, To force Mu Ling Hua, She had no choice but to tell her how to cure the Gu. If Mu Ling Hua truly cherished the people of the southern border, then she would definitely make concessions for this. If Mu Ling Hua still refused to speak out, then as long as this conversation was spread out, she would definitely not have a foothold in the southern border in the future. If he did so, it could be said that he was taking retreat as a step forward.

After listening to Emperor Da Chen’s words, Mu Linghua said, Originally, he was still laughing loudly, It instantly stiffened, She couldn’t help but stare blankly at Emperor Da Chen with her eyes wide open. “I don’t believe you would treat Nanjiang like this. No matter what, Imperial Concubine Li is still my aunt. She is also the princess of Nanjiang. Furthermore, she gave birth to the second prince Chen Bao for your Great Chen Kingdom. The so-called no credit but hard work. How can you kill her home country?”

“I also don’t believe that you will not save Concubine Li and Chen Bao. As the saying goes, a husband and wife will be grateful for a hundred days in a night. How can you and Concubine Li’s husband and wife of several decades not have the slightest bit of affection? And Chen Bao is your own flesh and blood. I don’t believe that you can watch as their mother and son die and remain indifferent.”

She, Mu Linghua, was not blind. From the moment she first entered the Great Chen Kingdom, she could tell that Emperor Chen’s feelings for Concubine Li were definitely different. He was even more fond of Chen Bao. This was also the reason why she was willing to marry Chen Bao as a concubine.

Originally, she had thought that as long as Chen Bao had the Emperor’s favor, he would have the possibility of becoming the Crown Prince. In the future, he would ascend to the throne as an Emperor. In that case, she could at least become a noble concubine in the future. That way, she would be able to speak with some weight in the Great Chen Kingdom, and she would also be able to contribute to the plans of the Southern Region.

But now, she heard Emperor Da Chen say that she would rather sacrifice her mother and son than be threatened by her. Her heart instantly turned cold. The little bit of strength that had supported her had also disappeared. She finally fell to the ground weakly. At the moment she fell, her eyes still looked at the few people in front of her with unwillingness.

Fortunately, Fu Yingran had already predicted that she would not be able to hold on. That’s why I had someone prepare a refreshing medicine early in the morning, Therefore, she took out a bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill from it, and stuffed it into Mu Ling Hua’s mouth. Seeing that Mu Ling Hua slowly opened her eyes again, she said to her unhurriedly, “You know now, without this palace’s permission, you don’t even have the right to faint.”

She then said to Emperor Da Chen, “Emperor Da Chen, you don’t have to worry. Leave the rest to me. I’m the best at interrogating prisoners, especially against tough people like her. If you don’t believe me, I can ask Ming Shuo for his testimony.”

She looked at Huyan Mingshuo and said this last sentence. In the past few years, every time Huyan Mingshuo encountered a more difficult prisoner, she would deal with them. Moreover, those prisoners that she interrogated were either mentally disordered or their bodies were filled with misery after being interrogated by Huyan Mingshuo.

And now, in front of Mu Ling Hua, she called Huyan Mingshuo so intimately. In fact, she also had the mentality to pick a gap. After all, Mu Ling Hua had sharpened his head and wanted to drill into the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Fortunately, Huyan Mingshuo was also quite cooperative. After hearing that Fu Yingran mentioned him, he smiled at her. Then he said, “Emperor Da Chen, calm down. It’s better to sit down and watch the show. Leave the following matters to Ying Ran. She’s good at it. Let’s pray for Mu Linghua. I hope she remembers who she is after today.”

With his understanding of how to deal with Ying Ran, Every time she interrogates a prisoner, Always get all the prisoners to confess as she pleases, She didn’t know where she had learned so many evil ideas. Although there were some methods that couldn’t be used, they were all very effective. As the saying goes, regardless of whether it was a black cat or a white cat, as long as it could catch a mouse, it would be a good cat. It was the same for interrogating prisoners. No matter what method you used, as long as it could get a confession from the prisoner, it would be a good method.

As soon as Mu Linghua heard that Fu Yingran was going to interrogate him, she said, The fear in his heart arose spontaneously, Fu Yingran’s interrogation methods, She had personally experienced it, When facing an opponent, Fu Yingran was not a human at all. Her interrogation methods were strange and could always cause people to shiver. She couldn’t help but recall how Fu Yingran had dealt with her back then. Her body was actually trembling slightly, so she looked at Fu Yingran with caution and said, “What are you doing again? Don’t come over.”

Back then, when they were still in the Ye Lan Crown Prince’s Mansion, Fu Yingran had said that she wanted Mu Ling Hua to tremble every time she thought of her. Now that she had honored her words, she didn’t expect that Mu Ling Hua would really tremble when she heard Fu Ying Ran interrogate her.

Looking at the fear in her eyes, Fu Yingran also knew that she probably remembered something from the past. Thus, she personally moved a chair and sat in front of her. With a smile on her face, she said, “In this situation, what else do you think this palace can do?” Didn’t you already think of it? If you are sensible, tell us the method to cure the Gu as soon as possible. That way, we can at least let you suffer less torture under the most possible circumstances.

Otherwise, I can assure you, Even if I slaughter all the cities and kill all the civilians in the Southern Region, I must find a solution to the Loyalty Gu. Of course, you and your brother Wang are no exception. If I still can’t find a solution to the Loyalty Gu, then I can only ask my father to send the Iron Cutting Army of the Great Wei Kingdom to help our army of Ye Lan destroy all the remaining evils in the Southern Region.

“At the same time, His Highness the Crown Prince will also order the imperial families of all countries to immediately execute all the imperial concubines who have married in the Southern Region. As long as all the people of the Southern Region are eliminated and all the princesses of the Southern Region are executed, the threat of the Loyalty Gu will also be removed and the world will be at peace. It’s just that it will take a bit more effort. However, the name of the Southern Region will only become history from now on.” After she finished speaking, she shrugged her shoulders indifferently, spread out her hands, and leaned back in her chair.

Actually, the reason why they cared so much about the solution of the Loyal Gu was because, It wasn’t just for Concubine Li and Chen Bao, because even though all the countries in the world had already submitted to Yelan Kingdom, the Southern Princesses that the Southern King had planted in the royal families were still there. Their bodies had also been planted with the Loyalty Gu, and they had no choice but to obey the orders of the Southern Kings for the rest of their lives.

If he did not manage to remove the control of the Loyal Gu over them, then the existence of these people would be an irregular bomb that could cause chaos in the world at any time. That was why he and Huyan Mingshuo were so interested in the solution to the Loyal Gu.

Hearing Fu Yingran’s words, Mu Linghua’s heart had actually begun to collapse. She knew that Fu Yingran was not a gentleman like Emperor Da Chen. Moreover, she had always kept her word. Since she could say it, she would definitely be able to do it.

So she believed that, If they couldn’t find out the solution to the Gu worm from their mouths today, then by tomorrow, the Iron Cutting Army of the Great Wei Kingdom would work together with the army of Ye Lan to exterminate every city in the Southern Region. That way, the Southern Region would truly be completely annihilated, because all of them had died, and there was no chance for them to exist. What nonsense was there to talk about reviving the Southern Region?

But she was unwilling to say it like this, Thus, she looked at Huyan Mingshuo and wanted to struggle for the last time. She reached out and stroked the broken hair on her forehead. She smiled and said to Huyan Mingshuo, “It’s not impossible for me to tell you the solution to these two Gu worms. However, I also have one condition. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince can agree, I will immediately tell you.”

Seeing her looking at him, Huyan Mingshuo couldn’t help but raise his eyes to look at her and casually asked, “Tell me about it.”

However, Mu Linghua smiled and said, “My request is very simple. That is, His Highness the Crown Prince must marry me, and when he ascends to the throne in the future, he promised to make me a princess.”

Huyan Mingshuo was, after all, the only man she, Mu Linghua, truly loved. The biggest regret in her life was that she could not marry Huyan Mingshuo justifiably, Therefore, she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make him agree to marry her. Even if she was married to Huyan Mingshuo for only one day, she would still be able to die in peace. She had fulfilled her wish for many years. As long as Huyan Mingshuo could agree to marry her, why would she have to endure so hard for the sake of a southern border that could not be recovered?

However, Huyan Mingshuo was originally a cold-hearted man. His feelings weren’t much, so he naturally wouldn’t waste them on insignificant people. Therefore, after listening to Mu Linghua’s words, he didn’t even raise the corners of his eyes and said indifferently, “Do you think this palace is easy to talk to?” Or do you think I’m just a pervert? “This palace is not prepared to tell you that not everyone is qualified to stand beside this palace. Back when you were innocent, this palace did not cut you down. Moreover, you are now a crippled flower that has lost willows. Besides, you are nominally my wife of Father. Aren’t you ashamed of this palace for making such a request?”

Hearing Huyan Mingshuo’s words, Mu Linghua’s eyes instantly dimmed. Although she had long expected Huyan Mingshuo to reject her, she did not expect him to say such an embarrassing thing. She could not help but panic. Although she knew that the result would be like this, her heart would still hurt if she really faced it.

Hearing Huyan Mingshuo’s blatant rejection, Fu Yingran felt relieved. He couldn’t help but secretly rejoice that Huyan Mingshuo didn’t compromise this time.

So she said to Mu Ling Hua, “You really don’t give up. Even now, you still want to marry into the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Looks like the lesson I taught you back then wasn’t deep enough.” At this point, Fu Yingran frowned and asked with a thought? “Eh? By the way, weren’t you struck by the Concentrated Gu? Shouldn’t all you think about is Chen Bao? Why do you still have the leisure to think about my man now?”

After she said that, Emperor Da Chen and Huyan Mingshuo both looked over at the same time. Fu Yingran is right. This Mu Linghua and Chen Bao’s Concentrated Gu are a pair of male and female. Logically speaking, at this moment, she should only be thinking about Chen Bao. But now, she actually wants to marry Huyan Mingshuo. This is indeed unreasonable, and it is inevitable that Fu Yingran would ask such a question.

Mu Linghua listened to her question, He couldn’t help but smile. “You guys are ignorant. I personally planted the Gu worms on Chen Bao and me. Do you want to remove the Gu worms’ control over us? All I need to do is activate my will. Therefore, I can remove this Gu worm from my body at any time. As for the Gu worms in Chen Bao’s body, I naturally have the final say.”
