Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Mother-son Duel
Mu Lian was not a brainless man, She also knew that what her big brother said was not unreasonable, However, she was unwilling to accept her fate. She always wanted to seize this opportunity to risk her life again. If she succeeded, everyone would naturally be happy and filled with glory. Even if she could not succeed, relying on Mu Army’s contributions over the years, she could at most return to the starting point and become that nameless imperial concubine again. However, if she did not seize this opportunity to fight again, then she would probably regret it for life.

After listening to Mu Lian’s words, Mu Lin no longer tried to dissuade him. He just said, “Whatever you want, I’ll do what I say. You guys can do as you please. You must remember the last thing Big Brother gave you. Don’t force anything on me. His Highness the Crown Prince is no ordinary person. Just look at Mu Army now and you’ll know.” With that, he pushed open the door and walked out.

He knew what Mu Lian was thinking, He also knew that she was destined to be disappointed, He knew better, Doing so would cause Huyan Mingshuo to feel even more disgusted with her, However, he couldn’t say or do anything because he saw the unwillingness in his sister’s eyes. If she didn’t personally touch the wall, she would never accept her fate. Therefore, even though he knew that Mu Lian would be injured, he decided to let her experience Huyan Mingshuo’s ruthlessness. Only in this way would she and the entire Mu Army give up.

Seeing the helplessness in his big brother’s eyes, Mu Lian’s mood instantly sank. His fighting spirit had also dissipated. Because she knew, Big brother is right, However, she was unwilling to accept it. Thus, she said to Mu Feng, “Father, daughter is also a little tired. Let’s go back to her room and rest first. Father should also go back to rest early. No matter what, daughter’s entrance into the palace is a foregone conclusion. We still need to prepare ahead of time. Therefore, our mansion has been busy recently. After all, daughter, I am the only imperial concubine in the Ye Lan Imperial Palace, right?”

She smiled bitterly and left the study. She had to go back to her room to sort out her thoughts and think about how she would continue to walk in the future.

For the rest of the time, Ye Lan’s imperial capital was full of traffic, It was bustling, The ministers who had women in the palace were busy congratulating each other, While busy preparing the dowry for her daughter, After all, her daughter was married to the king of a country, Even if she was just a concubine, she did not dare to be vague. The officials who did not have daughters in the palace were also busy currying favor with each other in order to take care of her in the future. Therefore, every family turned their warehouses upside down, hoping that their daughters could surpass others in dowry, so that His Highness the Crown Prince would look at them differently.

However, since Tian Yizhuang had already closed all the shops under their name, these people had money and could not find a place to buy a dowry. This worried the women and their families who were about to get married.

At this time, As the culprit, Fu Yingran, “Mother, even if you are my mother, you can’t stop me from seeing my royal grandmother. No matter what, I must see my royal grandmother today. Otherwise, I will not help you become this bullshit emperor and let you do it yourself,” the little fellow said angrily as he stared at his son in the imperial palace of Tianshui Kingdom.

Fu Yingran also said angrily, “Shut up. Don’t mention anyone from the Ye Lan Kingdom to me. If you want to see your Imperial Grandmother, I can promise you. When the time comes, I will bring her to Tianshui Kingdom to stay. But I can’t do it now. Stay here obediently. Otherwise, you will never be able to see your Imperial Grandmother again.”

At this moment, Fu Yingran was also the first two big ones. Ever since she brought her son to Tianshui Kingdom, This kind of play would be staged several times a day, and every time, it would make her feel very powerless. The so-called gains and losses were inevitable. She had helped Huyan Mingshuo calm down the world and made herself famous. However, because she was not around since childhood, her son’s feelings towards her were very indifferent. On the contrary, he always clamored to see his Imperial Grandmother every day.

She often opposed her because of this. At this time, she always felt very powerless. Every time she faced her son, she was helpless. With such a little guy, she could not beat him up. She could not scold him and could only waste her time every day. Fu Yingran felt uncomfortable in his heart.

However, all of this was due to her own reasons. If she hadn’t left her son behind to follow Huyan Mingshuo, her son wouldn’t have treated her so indifferently. However, similarly, she wouldn’t have achieved what she did today, and the power in her hands wouldn’t have developed in such a way.

Fortunately, his son was only three years old now, It’s all in time, As long as we spend more time with him, Feelings are always nurtured, Thinking about how Empress Ye Lan had accompanied him these past few years, perhaps it would be better to have her mother and foster mother come over to accompany him. After all, they were also grandmothers of their sons, so they should be able to temporarily disperse their son’s dependence on Empress Ye Lan. Therefore, Fu Yingran had already sent people to pick up Princess Regent and Madam Duanmu two days ago.

I heard that he will never see his royal grandmother again, The little fellow was finally quiet, What he feared the most was that he would never see the Royal Grandmother, Every time he heard this, He would instantly calm down. He looked at his mother with tears streaming down his cheeks. Fu Yingran couldn’t help but feel heartache when he saw her. So, she hugged him in her arms and tears rolled in her eyes. She silently kissed her son’s head and choked, “Child, it’s not that mother was ruthless in not letting you see your Royal Grandmother, but that the entire Ye Lan betrayed us.”

Do you know, Your father will soon marry a lot of women into the palace, Not long after, He’s gonna have a lot of kids, Your royal grandmother will also have many grandchildren, At that time, you will no longer be the emperor’s grandson of Ye Lan. Because they have so many choices, our mother and son will no longer be so important. And you are the mother’s biological son and the direct descendant of the main palace. If you continue to stay in the Ye Lan Imperial Palace, you will definitely be jealous. The inner courtyard of the imperial palace is a place where no one can see blood.

How could mother let you stay in that place? As for your Imperial Grandmother, she is indeed a good person, but her life has been too hard. When she was young, she had fought in the palace for most of her life to protect your father. Now that she has become the Empress Dowager, no one dares to disrespect her anymore.

Could it be that you want her to fight against those ghosts and snakes again at a young age in order to protect you? Mother knows that you are a sensible child. Mother promises that when the situation stabilizes in the future, we will go and stay with your Imperial Grandmother in Tianshui Country for a few days. Shall we also take good care of her? Will you be obedient? Can you stop being angry with your mother? ”

Fu Yingran didn’t care if he, a three-year-old child, could understand these things. She just wanted to say what she thought in her heart. She couldn’t say these words to others, so she could only keep them in her heart because she didn’t want others to see her weak side. Otherwise, how could she order so many subordinates? Only when she faced her son could she let go of her guard and reveal her weakest side.

After listening to her mother’s chatter, “Mother, don’t cry. I’m obedient. Since father doesn’t want us anymore, I won’t go back to Ye Lan. In the future, father won’t want Royal Grandmother anymore. Shall we bring Royal Grandmother to Tianshui Kingdom as well?” Hao Ze said in a childish voice as he put away his wronged tears and wiped away the tears at the corner of Fu Yingran’s eyes.

Feeling his son’s little hand wiping his face, he said, After hearing his son’s sensible words, Fu Yingran instantly collapsed. He hugged his son tightly in his arms and tears rolled down his cheeks. Just as he was about to give his son an answer, a loud voice suddenly sounded, “Kid, don’t even think about it. I’m afraid you’ll never be able to wait for that day. He Huyan Mingshuo doesn’t want anyone, and it’s impossible for him to abandon his mother.”

The mother and son couldn’t help but look back at the place where the voice sounded at the same time. Nalan Jinhong swaggered in. After seeing the person clearly, Huyan Haze immediately took a step forward and used his small body to block Fu Yingran’s path. He asked vigilantly, “Who are you? How did you get in? What do you want to do?”

Nalan Jinhong glanced at him. “I’m Nalan Jinhong, your father’s cousin. According to seniority, you should call me uncle. I’m going back to Ye Lan now. I came to see you when I heard you were here. By the way, I asked you if you want to go to Ye Lan with your uncle to meet your royal grandmother.”

Nalan Jinhong did not intentionally oppose Fu Yingran, Rather, he couldn’t bear to watch Huyan Mingshuo face the icy Ye Lan Imperial Palace alone. However, judging from the current situation, Fu Yingran would definitely not go back, and he himself planned to retreat quickly. From now on, Huyan Mingshuo could only face that high and aloof loneliness alone. If even Huyan Haze left him, then he would really have no thoughts at all.

He was worried that Huyan Mingshuo would not be able to It would collapse, so he thought, If he could bring Huyan Haze back to Ye Lan, Huyan Mingshuo had at least some confidence in his heart. After all, this was the son Fu Yingran had given birth to for him. He would probably cheer up even if it was for Huyan Haze. That way, even if they left Ye Lan, Huyan Mingshuo would still be able to take care of Ye Lan. He wouldn’t want to let Ye Lan perish on its own like this.

During this period of time, there had always been news from Mu Hai, so he knew that Huyan Mingshuo no longer cared about Ye Lan. He just stayed in the barracks every day and trained his soldiers without risking his life. As for the matters in the court, they were all handled by the Old Emperor and the Right Virtuous King.

And this old emperor and the Right Virtuous King are still wantonly organizing the Concubine Na ceremony. This is slapping her in the face. This is undoubtedly accelerating the destruction of Ye Lan. Don’t they think about it? Once Fu Yingran really started to deal with Ye Lan, then Ye Lan would probably become the second southern border. As Ye Lan’s Prince Bingjian, this was not what he wanted to see. A subjugated slave was not a good name.

That’s why he thought, If he could bring Huyan Haze back to Ye Lan, In that way, in order to protect his son, Huyan Mingshuo would have to cheer up and grasp all of his power in his own hands. He would do his best to manage Ye Lan. As long as Huyan Haze was in Ye Lan, even if Fu Yingran really wanted to deal with Ye Lan, he would still be afraid of him. No matter what, he would not kill Ye Lan completely.

And what he was thinking, How could Fu Yingran not know? This was also the purpose of her trip to Ye Lan to bring her son back. So how could she let Nalan Jinhong take her son away so easily? So she stood up and coldly looked at Nalan Jinhong and said, “Nalan Jinhong, please pay attention to your identity. This is the Tianshui Kingdom, not the Ye Lan Kingdom.”

You’re just the king of the Nightcrypt Kingdom, In our Tianshui Kingdom’s territory, you are nothing, so you should say what you should and should not say and do what you should and should not do. You should know in your heart. Right now, you and I can be said to be in the same situation. Since his Yelan Kingdom can disobey a woman, what will happen to you, the only bloodline of the former Crown Prince? I don’t think I need to tell you, but you know what’s going on in your heart.
