Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Change of Ownership in Tianshui Country
Since ancient times, there was no joke. Since Huyan Mingshuo had personally agreed to let Mu Lian enter the palace, there was no room for change. Otherwise, where was his dignity as a sovereign? However, with Fu Yingran’s temperament, he definitely couldn’t tolerate this matter, so this matter was more troublesome.

Nalan Jinhong’s heart was also very irritated. Impatiently, he said, “what can I do, Isn’t all of this caused by your Mu Clan’s greed? The world hasn’t stabilized yet. All you think about is your own interests, causing the world to be ignored and the entire Ye Lan to be ignored. Everyone in the world knows that Fu Yingran is not to be trifled with. I don’t know where your Mu Clan got the courage to pluck a tiger’s hair.

Don’t you see how much she has paid for Ye Lan over the years? For this reason, she did not hesitate to abandon her hungry son. Along with the army’s expedition to the east and the west, even her own homeland had to give up. This was the only way to achieve the unification of the world.

But you guys are fine, The army had yet to return, Nothing has been decided yet, “She, Fu Yingran, hasn’t even enjoyed the honor she deserves. All of you want to have a share of the benefits. Not to mention that she didn’t agree to such a thing, even this king wouldn’t agree. Since this matter was caused by your Mu Clan, then let your father and brother settle it by themselves. This king won’t ask anything about this matter.”

Nalan Jinhong was also anxious. He actually called himself this king to Mu Hai. Although he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Mu Hai, he couldn’t control his emotions now. Who were these people? They were selfish and didn’t care about the overall situation at all. Now, was it time to think about those things? Even if they really wanted Imperial Concubine Huyan Mingshuo, it shouldn’t be this time. Wasn’t this the obvious way to unload and kill a donkey?

When you need someone else, you can say that you can agree to anything and promise anything. However, once someone helps you with your affairs, you can make the promise and ignore it. Such a person is also shameless to him. Even if that person is his cousin, he is no exception.

Seeing that he was so angry, Mu Hai did not bother with him, He sighed helplessly and said, ‘”Alas … Forget it, we are helpless now. We can only leave everything to fate. I only hope that the Crown Princess will show mercy for the sake of the little prince. I don’t think I will disturb you anymore. I’d better hurry back to the Mu Clan and take my mother out of the Mu Clan and send her to my clan to prevent her from being implicated in the future.”

Ever since Mu Hai followed Nalan Jinhong, Nalan Jinhong took special care of him. Perhaps it was because they both came from the common people and cherished each other. Therefore, when Mu Hai was given the title of Young General, Nalan Jinhong specially gave him a mansion so that he could bring his mother out of the Mu Manor to enjoy the peace and happiness when necessary. Unexpectedly, it was just right for him to use it now.

After Nalan Jinhong lost his temper, His emotions gradually calmed down. From what he said, ‘”Yes, Mu Lingfeng has been captured and the war is basically stable. You can go back first. You can also inquire about the situation in the imperial capital first. You must control everything in our hands. As for your mother, I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give her an imperial title after returning to the court. I will also let her look up from now on.”

He had heard of it, Right now, the imperial capital was extremely busy, Everyone was rubbing their fists. They all wanted to send their daughters and sisters to Huyan Mingshuo’s bed. If Fu Yingran saw such a situation again, the consequences would be unimaginable. It just so happened that Mu Hai planned to return early. It was better for him to go back and arrange things first. He absolutely couldn’t let things get out of his control.

Upon hearing Nalan Jinhong’s words, Mu Hai immediately knelt on one knee and said, “Yes, Your Highness, this subordinate will go back now and investigate the situation in the Imperial Capital clearly. It will be easier to plan after Your Highness returns to the court.”

If his mother had an imperial decree, she would no longer have to bow to anyone from now on. This was the goal that Mu Hai had been striving for all these years.

“Mm, you can go. Pay more attention to your safety on the way. Bring a few people with you so that you can take care of them on the way.” Nalan Jinhong was the one who could understand his current mood. After all, they were all the same people. He had always wanted his mother to be able to raise her head and be a human. There was no need for her to be inferior because of her status as a concubine. However, Nalan Jinhong no longer had the chance to do so.

“Yes, this subordinate will retire.” They can be friends or brothers in their free time, But when it comes to business, Then they were subordinates. As subordinates, Mu Hai could only obey Nalan Jinhong’s orders unconditionally. This was the difference between him and Mu Feng and Mu Lin. He never thought about things that did not belong to him, even if he was also surnamed Mu. He had always been respectful of everything in Mu Army.

Because he believed, With his own efforts, He can get everything he wants, It would also allow his mother to spend her old age peacefully, Instead of wagging his tail and waiting for someone else to give him alms, it would be better to earn a way out for his mother and himself by relying on his own efforts, Only that kind of achievement belonged to Mu Hai himself. It had nothing to do with the entire Mu Clan. No one could gossip about it. Only Huyan Mingshuo could give it to him. Following Nalan Jinhong was equivalent to working for Huyan Mingshuo.

Thus, after saluting Nalan Jinhong, he said, He got up and left his tent, Go back to your tent and pack your bows, He left Tianshui Country overnight, He sped all the way to the capital of Ye Lan, leaving the Mu family and Mu Army behind. It was not that he was cold-blooded and heartless, and wanted to ignore his father and brother. Rather, everyone should pay the price for their actions. He could not pay for their greed, because there were also people behind him that he needed to protect.

Seeing Mu Hai leave, Nalan Jinhong immediately instructed, “Someone, immediately send someone to find Miss Jin’er in Tianyi Manor and tell her everything about this place. Tell them to make sure that the Crown Princess is stabilized and that she absolutely cannot be righteous. Let her tell the Crown Princess that this king will definitely give her an explanation for this matter.”

Although Nalan Jinhong didn’t care about it, it was related to the rise and fall of Ye Lan, so how could he not care about it? After all, he was also a member of the Ye Lan royal family, and the only surviving son of the former Crown Prince, Besides, he himself admired Ying Ran for dealing with him, Putting aside her jealous nature, She could definitely be said to be a model among women. For the sake of her husband’s great cause, she could give her full support regardless of everything. This was not something anyone could do. Most women in the world could only share wealth and honor, not happiness and hardship. However, Fu Yingran was willing to help when Ye Lan was in the most critical situation. Such a woman was worthy of respect.

Therefore, he planned to intervene and mediate between them to see if he could suppress Fu Yingran’s anger first, and then find a solution to both of them. He didn’t want to see the two of them separated from each other from now on.

And now, the only person Nalan Jinhong could think of was Jin’er. Because all these years, Jin’er had always been negotiating with him on behalf of Fu Yingran. The personal relationship between the two of them was not bad, so he planned to start with her. He hoped that she could help him stabilize Fu Yingran for the sake of their friendship over the years, not to mention that Nalan Jinhong’s heart was in a hurry.

Huyan Mingshuo said, Ever since he left the Night Tide Camp, He chased after them all the way to Tianshui Country, He knew that Fu Yingran would definitely go to the Tian Yizhuang branch in Tianshui, However, because he was not a member of the Heavenly Villa, he knew very little about the secret code of the Heavenly Villa. Therefore, he circled around the Tianshui Kingdom several times in a row and was stunned to find no trace of Fu Yingran. It had been several days since then, but Fu Yingran still hadn’t heard from him. Only then did he drag his tired body back to the Ye Lan Camp.

He walked all the way to Shuai Ran’s tent and thought to himself, Perhaps he might return after Fu Yingran’s anger dissipated. However, when he stepped into Shuai Ran’s tent, he only saw Mu Lingfeng and his sister. There was not a trace of Fu Yingran. At this time, Mu Lingfeng’s face had also recovered after a few days of recuperation, and his wounds had begun to heal.

So he went to his seat and sat down, He said to his siblings, “It seems that King Nanjiang has recovered quite well. Then let’s get down to business first. We will follow the agreement of that day. Tell us the solution to the Loyal Gu and remove it for everyone. This palace will immediately let King Yelan lead 200,000 soldiers with you to kill the rebels of King Min’s party and rescue the elders of the Southern Region.”

The current Huyan Mingshuo was truly physically and mentally exhausted. He only wanted to quickly resolve these matters so that he could make a move to find Fu Yingran. Therefore, he no longer beat around the bush and directly stated his plan.

Seeing him like this, the Mu Lingfeng siblings also knew that he had no intention of dealing with them at this moment. They immediately agreed very straightforwardly, “Alright then, let’s do as His Highness the Crown Prince says. In order to show our sincerity, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince orders the army to set out, this king will immediately remove the loyalty gu from everyone’s bodies.”

Huyan Mingshuo did not doubt what he said. He immediately shouted at the door, “Someone, go and invite Prince Bingjian over immediately. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him.”

When the soldiers outside heard the order, they respectfully replied, “Yes.” Then, they turned around and went to Nalan Jinhong’s tent.

After about an incense stick of time, Nalan Jinhong rushed in and said to Huyan Mingshuo, “I heard that you are looking for me for something?” I just happened to have something to tell you, You’d better end this as soon as possible and return to the capital, The situation in the imperial capital is already messy. Your good Father has already appointed several noble imperial concubines for you. I heard that all of this was tied up by your middle uncle. Also, I received news that Fu Yingran is probably already in the imperial capital. He is planning to take Haoze away while you are away.

If she really takes Hao Ze away, then she can take revenge on Ye Lan without any scruples. With her ability and means, it’s not like you don’t know. At that time, don’t say anything about unifying the world. Even Ye Lan’s country will probably be in danger. “A few days ago, he contacted Jin’er, Jin’er also very cooperate with the decision of Fu Yingran secretly told him.

But at that time, he felt that Fu Yingran was only angry for a moment. After all, as long as Hao Ze left the Ye Lan Imperial Palace, he would lose the right to inherit the throne. Therefore, he didn’t pay much attention at that time. Only this morning did Mu Hai send someone to tell him that Fu Yingran had already arrived in the Imperial Capital. He was investigating the families who sent the women into the palace.

This time, he was really anxious. Just as he was about to discuss countermeasures with Huyan Mingshuo, Huyan Mingshuo also sent someone to invite him, so he rushed over.

Huyan Mingshuo knew that what he said was probably true when he saw his anxious appearance. He was extremely annoyed. He wanted to immediately return to Yelan and quickly prevent all of this from happening. He could not let Fu Yingran leave with his son. Otherwise, everything would be over and all his efforts would be wasted.

However, the moment he raised his head and saw that Tianshui Country was brightly lit in the distance, he suddenly remembered that Fu Yingran wanted Tianshui Country, didn’t he? He hasn’t paid her yet, With her personality, I’m sure I’ll come after him again, At that time, as long as she appeared, no matter what method she used, she would definitely be tied to her side. Thus, he calmed down his irritation and said to Nalan Jinhong, “Brother, don’t panic. The Tianshui Kingdom that she wants has not been obtained yet. With her personality, she will definitely come to me to ask for it again. At that time, I will explain it to her properly.”

Seeing that he was so calm, Nalan Jinhong sighed and continued, “My dear cousin, do you really think that without you, she won’t be able to obtain the Tianshui Kingdom? Don’t forget that she is Fu Yingran. I can’t help but tell you another piece of news. The Tianshui Kingdom changed hands the day after she left the Ye Lan camp.”
