Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 162
Chapter 162 Leave
But at the same time, she knew very well that if she insisted on leaving now, Huyan Mingshuo would definitely take tough measures to keep her. If that was the case, it would not be good for everyone’s face. After thinking for a moment, she turned to the ministers behind her and said, “You guys go back to the inn first. This palace will give everyone an answer later.”
Then she said to Huyan Mingshuo, “Alright, I’ll trust you once. Let’s go see our son first. It’s been a few years since we last saw him. I wonder what he looks like.”
As she spoke, she broke away from Huyan Mingshuo’s embrace and headed straight for his Crown Prince’s bedroom.
Huyan Mingshuo looked at the empty embrace. His heart was also filled with desolation, At this moment, he was completely unable to understand Fu Yingran’s thoughts. I don’t know what she’s gonna do next, This was a feeling he had never felt before, Originally, he thought that based on his understanding of her over the years, At the very least, he could guess her thoughts. However, at this moment, he realized that he did not understand Fu Yingran at all. Thus, he could only take a few steps and follow Fu Yingran’s footsteps. He thought that as long as he did not let her leave his line of sight, he would be able to make corresponding countermeasures at any time no matter what he wanted her to do.
Just as the two of them reached the entrance of the Crown Prince’s bedroom, they heard two palace maids chatting, “Have you heard?” Mu Army had done the most to calm the world this time, so when His Highness the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, Miss Mu Lian of the Great General’s family would be crowned Consort. Was this personally promised by His Highness the Crown Prince? “I’ve also heard that if it wasn’t for the Crown Princess giving birth to the Little Emperor’s grandson early in the morning, perhaps Miss Mu would be the Empress.”
“Really? Who did you hear? Everyone in Ye Lan knows that the Crown Prince has always loved the Crown Princess. He even swore an oath for her that he would never take a concubine in this life.”
“That was before, At that time, the Great Wei Kingdom was stronger than our Yelan Kingdom, The Crown Princess had something to do with the eldest princess of Great Wei, In order not to offend the Great Wei Kingdom, He could not promise the Crown Princess that she would never take a concubine, But it’s different now, The Great Wei Kingdom has already become our Yelan’s subordinate country, “Her status as the eldest princess of the Great Wei Kingdom is no longer so respected, but Miss Mu is different. She is the only daughter of Old General Mu. This time, the Crown Prince has calmed down the world, and thanks to the Mu Clan’s army, Miss Mu should also be the Empress of Yelan Kingdom.”
“You ‘re wrong, Back then, in order to help His Highness the Crown Prince, “The Crown Princess can’t even care about the young royal grandson who just landed. She has made a lot of contributions with His Highness the Crown Prince during his expedition these years. Moreover, the Crown Princess is the first wife of the Crown Princess. As the saying goes, it’s not like our Crown Prince would do. You can’t say that it’s a capital crime to talk about the royal family.”
Hearing this, Fu Yingran clapped his hands and said, “What a conscientious palace maid, This palace will remember you. I’m afraid that if you say these words today, this palace won’t be able to accommodate you. If there are any difficulties in the future, go to the Heavenly Villa. As long as you report this palace’s name, someone will naturally take you in. I, Fu Yingran, am by no means the one who doesn’t know how to be grateful. If you dare to speak up for me today, this palace will be able to protect you for the rest of your life. ” Then she looked at the other palace maid and without saying anything, she raised her head and walked over to her.
At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo’s expression was extremely ugly. Fu Yingran’s words just now were clearly meant for her to hear. She did not expect that she would actually become that ungrateful person in her heart. But looking back at the current situation and seeing that the entire Imperial Capital was busy with the Imperial Concubine Na Fei Ceremony, wasn’t she the one who ungrinded the donkeys?
Although all of this was not his original intention and he himself was forced to do so, the truth was the truth. He could not deny it. Fu Yingran had anger in her heart that she could vent on him, but who should he vent the anger in his heart? At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo was also filled with anger and had nowhere to vent his anger.
Therefore, when he looked at the palace maid, the palace maid was tragic. Then, he heard Huyan Mingshuo’s cold order, “Someone, this palace maid disrespects the Crown Princess and talks about the royal family. The situation is extremely serious. Immediately, she dragged her family out and was executed. Her family was sent into exile thousands of miles away because of her godddess, so she could not take half a step into the imperial capital.”
Then he looked at the other palace maid and said to the eunuch beside him, “Send someone to investigate her background. If there are no criminals within three generations and her family background is innocent, then promote her to the rank of female official. She is specifically responsible for the words, deeds, and etiquette of the palace people.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” After listening too closely, he answered and turned around to leave.
However, the palace maid was dumbfounded for a moment before immediately kneeling at Huyan Mingshuo’s feet and kowtowing, “Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for your kindness.”
She never dreamed that just because she accidentally said these few words, she would be able to exchange for the promotion opportunity that others dreamed of.
The woman who enters the palace is either talented, Being chosen by the Emperor as a concubine, Staying in the palace for the rest of her life to enjoy all the luxury and wealth was either to become a palace maid and serve the various palace masters. After reaching a certain age, she would be released from the palace. However, if the palace maids contributed, they would be promoted to a female official. After becoming a female official, she would no longer have to look at other people’s faces and do things in the palace from now on except for the palace masters.
And now in this palace, The old emperor’s abdication was imminent, And now His Highness the Crown Prince only has one Crown Princess, Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince had once said that he would never accept imperial concubines. In other words, in the future, other than His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, she would no longer have to look at anyone else’s expressions. This was a great thing. Thus, she thought in her heart, after returning, she must give Buddha a few more incense sticks to thank him for his blessings.
The palace maid who had been speaking for Mu Lian just now also regained her senses. She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Huyan Mingshuo, begging for mercy. “Your Highness the Crown Prince, please spare my life. I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to spare my life this time. Your Highness the Crown Prince, please spare my life.”
Looking at the two people kneeling in front of him, A moment ago, the two of them sat on equal footing and chatted gossip, Right now, the two of them were kneeling in front of him, one for gratitude and the other for forgiveness. Huyan Mingshuo had no choice but to sigh with emotion in his heart. However, everything had its own causes and consequences. Everyone had to pay the price for their actions. Therefore, he was completely unmoved. He glanced coldly at the two of them and walked past them.
After following Fu Yingran into the Crown Prince’s dormitory, Huyan Mingshuo closed the door and looked helplessly at Fu Yingran, “Yingran, I’m not the kind of person you think I am. Don’t take the palace maid’s words to heart. I promise you, that won’t happen. I’m still me. Nothing has changed. Can you believe me?”
Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, Fu Yingran immediately smiled and said, “It’s fine. Isn’t it just a noble concubine? This palace won’t take it seriously. Besides, what that palace maid said just now is also correct. At least I gave birth to a son for you. This palace’s status isn’t so easy to replace. We’ve been married for all these years, so I don’t believe you can trust anyone else.”
Don’t worry about those troublesome things. We haven’t been together for a long time. Let me take good care of you. Perhaps there won’t be such a chance in the future. At that time, when I have 3,000 beautiful women in the palace, it’s impossible to tell when I’ll be able to take my turn. Don’t you think? Your Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Hearing her words, Huyan Mingshuo’s heart ached, but he couldn’t refute it. He could only walk to Fu Yingran’s side and hug her in his arms. He kept saying, “No, Yingran, no. Trust me, I won’t touch any other women in this life other than you.”
Without waiting for Fu Yingran to speak, he directly kissed her lips and pressed her onto the bed.
However, just as Huyan Mingshuo pressed down, Fu Yingran rolled over and gathered all the strength in his body to his fingers. He unexpectedly pointed at Huyan Mingshuo’s acupoints and pushed him aside. He got up from bed and patted his wrinkled dress, looking down at him condescendingly.
Looking at Huyan Mingshuo who was motionless, Fu Yingran’s heart was also very painful. So she straightened his body and made him feel more comfortable. Then she sat down beside him and said, “Ming Shuo, actually, I know that this is not your intention. You also have grievances in your heart, but I also have my dignity. My dignity is also not to be trampled on.”
I told you, I can ‘t stand to serve a man, Not even nominally, So I’m sorry, As a price for not keeping your word, I will take back everything I brought for Yelan and restore him to his original state. However, don’t worry, based on our feelings over the past few years, I won’t kill Yelan completely. I will let you live in a secluded corner of Yelan Kingdom. You can rest assured that you will stay in Yelan Imperial Palace and be your Yelan Emperor.
As for Haoze, I told you, Once you marry someone else, My son will be my son alone, “I will let him join my Fu Clan and become my Fu Clan’s descendant. From now on, there will be no more fruits between you and the Yelan Imperial Family. As for yourself, you will naturally have many princes and daughters in the palace if you are lucky enough to have three thousand beautiful women in the future. There won’t be many more than one of them, and there won’t be any less than one of them. At that time, you can choose another son to succeed to your throne.”
As she spoke, she placed a kiss on Huyan Mingshuo’s lips, “Ming Shuo, I really love you, so I can’t bear to share everything with others. I just need to think that one day you will be so lingering with her. My heart hurts like a knife, so I can only choose to flee. If we don’t see each other, we’ll take care of each other in the future. Good-bye, good-bye,” he said reluctantly.
Afterwards, she took the half piece of medicinal jade from Huyan Mingshuo’s body, turned around and left the Crown Prince’s dormitory without turning back. She came to the Empress’ dormitory and took Little Haze away. Fortunately, Huyan Mingshuo had let the Emperor and Empress leave the palace in advance, which also provided her with convenience. Otherwise, she would not have taken her son away so smoothly.
Right now, in the entire imperial palace, apart from His Highness the Crown Prince, Huyan Mingshuo, she was the eldest princess, and she was Huyan Haze’s biological mother. No one would guard against her, so she could easily take him away.
Two hours after Huyan Mingshuo broke through the acupoints to recover, he immediately jumped out of bed and hurriedly rushed to Yikun Palace to find his wife and children. However, all he saw was an empty house, and his wife and son had disappeared without a trace.
“Heavens, why are you doing this to me? Can’t you have both fish and bear paws? I’m just trying to make the world peaceful, not really want Concubine Na. Why can’t you trust me? Ah … Ying Ran …” he shouted.
With this roar, Huyan Mingshuo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious. When the palace people saw the Crown Prince faint, they immediately turned into a mess. Several old eunuchs immediately sent people to invite the Emperor and the Empress back to the palace. The palace could not be left without a master for a day.
When Emperor Ye Lan received the news, Immediately, she brought the Empress and the Right Virtuous King back to the palace. When the Empress saw Huyan Mingshuo and the empty Yikun Palace, she immediately ordered people to search the palace for Yan Haze. After searching the entire palace, she couldn’t find her grandson’s figure, and her resentment exploded on the spot.
