Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Vent One’s Anger on Ye Lan
Seeing Fu Yingran leave, Huyan Mingshuo’s expression instantly darkened. He said to Mu Feng and his son, “Mu Feng, I have to say that you are bold enough. I just hope that you can bear the consequences of doing so. I can promise you that Mu Lian will enter the palace, but I will also let her enter the palace. I swear to the heavens that I will never touch her finger. Even so, do you still want her to enter the palace?” “I can tell you right now that I only have one woman in my life, Fu Yingran. No matter who else enters the palace, it will only be a decoration.”

After saying those words, he no longer looked at the Mu Clan father and son. He just turned around and said to the Mu Lingfeng siblings, “I promise you that I will definitely do it. Now that I have some personal matters to attend to, you guys should stay in my marshal’s tent for the time being and rest assured that no one will dare to do anything to you until I return.”

Then he got up and walked out of the tent. When he reached the door, he shouted, “Where is the hidden guard?” At this moment, a figure suddenly floated in the air. Then, a few people knelt in front of Huyan Mingshuo and said, “May I ask what orders His Highness the Crown Prince has?”

This was the hidden guard he had always carried with him, They were all elites nurtured by Nalan Jinhong. He was also the person he trusted the most. Every time he saw these people, Huyan Mingshuo’s heart was incomparably at ease, because only these people would obey him unconditionally to protect him. Thus, he immediately instructed these hidden guards, “Send a few people to guard the commanding tent at all times. Before this palace returns, no one is allowed to approach.” As he said this, he looked straight at Mu Feng. Then, he withdrew his gaze and chased after Fu Yingran in the direction where he had left.

It wasn’t that he, Huyan Mingshuo, couldn’t tolerate any meritorious deeds, To be the rabbit and dog cook, Some people really couldn’t figure out what was going on, Always thinking about the favor, I always thought that I would be able to get whatever I wanted from him after I had obtained some credit from him during the expedition. I didn’t know that this would only cause Huyan Mingshuo’s disgust. The so-called thunder rain and dew are all heavenly kindnesses. Only those that the Sovereign is willing to give you are things that you can endure. And if you ask for it yourself, even if he gives it to you, you won’t be blessed to endure it.

Take this for example, He promised you, Let your daughter enter the palace, But they also said, Not a finger from your daughter, In this way, even if you go back on your word, you will still have to send your daughter to the palace to live as a widow. Furthermore, you have exhausted all the credit that the Mu Clan Army has accumulated over the years. From now on, the Mu Clan’s weight in Huyan Mingshuo’s heart will also disappear. Furthermore, they cannot complain at all. After all, this is what they are asking for.

At this moment, Mu Feng and his son, Watching Huyan Mingshuo leave, Thinking back to the way he looked at him just now, His heart was filled with regret, They had never expected that, Huyan Mingshuo’s reaction to this matter was so great. They had always known that Fu Yingran would oppose it. After all, Fu Yingran’s jealousy was well known in the world. Originally, they had thought that as long as Huyan Mingshuo agreed, she could only accept it no matter how unwilling she was. After all, her husband was his wife. Besides, as an emperor, how could there be only one wife? Which man in the world doesn’t want to hug each other, three wives and four concubines? Unless Huyan Mingshuo wasn’t a man.

It was with this thought that they dared to have such thoughts, thus ignoring Huyan Mingshuo’s wishes. Otherwise, they would not have done such a foolish thing with gratitude. In this way, the Mu Clan’s contribution in supporting Huyan Mingshuo over the years would have been squandered by him, and what they had obtained was such a result.

Therefore, the shrewdness in Mu Feng’s eyes had disappeared. In an instant, it was like an old dragon bell that was ten years old. The demeanor of the former Great General had also disappeared. Mu Lin was also extremely regretful. Why didn’t he stop his father at that time?

Actually, based on his understanding of Huyan Mingshuo, he should have known the extent of Huyan Mingshuo’s disgust towards this matter. After all, Huyan Mingshuo was famous for his cleanliness. How could a person with a cleanliness fetish tolerate him being tossed and turned between many women? Therefore, he already knew that even if his younger sister really entered the palace and became Huyan Mingshuo’s concubine, she would still be a widow.

However, he did not control the greed in his heart. After all, once Mu Lian really became a princess, He’ll be the uncle of the country, With a noble concubine as a backing, From now on, Mu Army could rest easy. Now, he had indeed succeeded. However, at the same time, he had lost a friend he had known for many years. Just from the look Huyan Mingshuo gave their father and son, he knew that Mu Army could only be Mu Army from now on, and there would be no future for its development.

As for Mu Hai, He just watched all of this with cold eyes. In fact, Mu Hai was only a common son of Mu Feng. He was able to achieve what he had achieved today because he fought bit by bit with Nalan Jinhong. His father, Mu Feng, did not give him any help. On the contrary, because he was a concubine, Mu Feng was on guard against him in many ways.

Mu Feng and Mu Lin had also been in charge of the Mu Clan’s army all these years. At most, he could only temporarily replace Mu Lin. Moreover, this was because of Huyan Mingshuo’s reputation. Therefore, the rise and fall of the Mu Clan Army had nothing to do with him. He had promised to give an explanation to the fallen soldiers of the Mu Clan back then, but because they were both soldiers, he felt sorry for their wrongful deaths.

So he didn’t care what his father and brother felt in their hearts, He took the lead and walked out of the handsome tent towards Nalan Jinhong’s tent. He felt that he should tell Nalan Jinhong about this matter. After all, they knew very well that Fu Yingran was no ordinary person. If she really wanted to take revenge on the Mu Clan, then the ten Mu Army would not be her match.

He did not forget that Fu Yingran was not only the Crown Princess of Ye Lan, but also the direct daughter of the Regent of the Great Wei Kingdom. If it was compared to martial power, as the eldest princess of the Great Wei Kingdom, the Tie Jiejun of the Fu Family would not be a vegetarian. At the same time, her background was not ordinary. As the Eldest Miss of Tian Yi Villa, she wanted money and people.

With her background, even Huyan Mingshuo didn’t dare to touch her easily, let alone you, a tiny Mu Army? Everyone only knew that Fu Yingran was jealous. They thought that Huyan Mingshuo had agreed to never marry another woman because he didn’t want her to feel wronged. However, no one could tell that Huyan Mingshuo didn’t have any selfishness in doing so. After all, relying on her own strength, once she truly became hostile to her, it would be a headache.

He didn’t know, What did his father and brother think, He actually dared to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, In front of Fu Yingran, To make such a request, Based on the few words she said before she left, she didn’t just hate the Mu Clan. Even the entire Night Tide Nation was enraged. The consequences were not something the Mu Clan could withstand. That was why he had just stepped into Nalan Jinhong’s tent. The first thing he said was, “Something big has happened. You, Prince Bingjian, have to be busy again.”

Nalan Jinhong was wiping his sword with a cloth. Someone had already reported to him that Mu Lingfeng had been captured by Huyan Mingshuo. When he left the Great Chen Kingdom, Huyan Mingshuo had personally promised to use Mu Lingfeng’s head to pay tribute to his father. He had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

He was also waiting for Huyan Mingshuo to send someone to invite him. When he heard the noise, he couldn’t help but raise his head to look at the door. When he saw Mu Hai, he smiled and said, “Fu Yingran will take care of this small matter. It’s not my turn to take care of it personally. Did His Highness the Crown Prince ask you to come over and call me over?”

Who would have thought that Mu Hai would say, “Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t have the time to invite you over at this moment? Perhaps he himself is annoyed now? Now that the Crown Princess has said nothing about this matter, I think you, Prince Bingjian, will have to personally take action.”

Hearing this, Nalan Jinhong put down the sword in his hand and asked with a frown, “What’s so serious? Even Fu Yingran can’t handle it? Could something have happened?”

Seeing her ask, Mu Hai sighed before continuing, “Ah …” This is really serious, I don’t know what my father and brother think, Just now, in front of the Crown Prince Concubine, the Crown Prince actually agreed to accept Mu Lian as his Imperial Concubine. This caused the Crown Prince Concubine to leave on the spot. When she left, she even said that the Yelan Kingdom was going to hide all the birds in its bowels. Therefore, I think that the Mu Family Army and the entire Yelan Kingdom would probably be implicated in this incident. Mu Hai let out a long sigh.

After hearing this, Nalan Jinhong’s brows furrowed even deeper. This was something even more serious than taking revenge on his father. If Fu Yingran really angered the entire Nightcrypt Kingdom because of this, wouldn’t all their years of Eastern expedition and Western expedition be in vain? Then he asked Mu Hai, “How could this be? Tell me clearly, why did you drag the entire Yelan into this? It was your Mu Clan that offended Fu Yingran, not her. Even if you want to sigh, you should explain it to me before going back and sighing slowly enough.” Since it was the entire night, then it wouldn’t be a trivial matter.

“Just as you said? It is indeed the Mu Clan that offended the Crown Princess, thus causing His Highness the Crown Prince to be dissatisfied with the Mu Clan. The Mu Clan has been preparing for this matter, so you should have heard the rumors, right? I always thought that they would only plot in secret, but I never thought that they would actually have the courage to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to personally agree to make Mu Lian a noble consort after ascending to the throne in front of the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess’ temperament was well known, This was also the last thing she could tolerate, So after she listened to my father, He left the camp in a rage and probably angered the entire Night Tide Nation. Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince turned against my father on the spot and threatened that even if he agreed to let Mu Lian enter the palace as imperial concubine, he would never touch a single finger of her. Wasn’t this clearly going to ruin Mu Lian’s happiness in life?

Tell me, what are these things? The Mu Clan has been supporting His Highness the Crown Prince for all these years. Seeing that they will be able to retreat soon, why can’t they be more stable? Do you have to do all this nonsense to be at ease? ”

This Mu Hai was also tired. Why did he have such an unclear father? This monarch and subject are different, how can a single subject of yours influence a monarch’s decision? This was good. It was self-defeating. Not only did it not get the result they wanted, it also caused Huyan Mingshuo’s dissatisfaction. It could be said that the gains weren’t worth the losses.

After hearing what happened, Nalan Jinhong was no longer calm. If Fu Yingran really angered Yelan Country and decided to retaliate, then Ye Lan would suffer. Ever since witnessing her methods against Helian Lanying and Mu Linghua three years ago, he had deeply experienced that it would definitely not be a good outcome to go against Fu Yingran.

So he said with a serious expression, “Do you think your father is being ridiculous? Well, why did you offend that god? Is that god something that can be offended at will?”

Isn’t he a god? She was also a rich god. If she directly ordered Tian Yizhuang to stop all supplies to the army of Ye Lan, it would be quite troublesome.

Although the various countries had already surrendered to Ye Lan and promised to pay tribute every year in the future, all of this would only start next year. The current Ye Lan was barely self-sufficient and could not afford to pay for the entire army of Ye Lan. This time, the Mu Clan and their son had truly caused great trouble.

Seeing how nervous Nalan Jinhong was, Mu Hai no longer wanted to play tricks, He immediately explained what had happened in detail. She even deliberately learned the original words before Fu Yingran left. Finally, he said, “in my opinion, As far as the Crown Princess was concerned, “I’m afraid it’s already enraged the whole of Ye Lan, so I don’t dare to delay. The moment His Highness the Crown Prince left, I rushed over to you. You’d better think of a way. I’m afraid that Mu Lian’s entrance into the palace is a foregone conclusion. We must think of a way to both stabilize the Crown Princess and safeguard her dignity.”
