Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Prince Bingjian Hui Dynasty
His father Emperor didn’t care much for him since he was young. In the past, he and his mother struggled to survive in the palace because of Imperial Concubine Ni. Now, for the sake of the throne, he was plotting against himself again. Could this be the so-called Tian Clan without a father and son?

Thinking of his father and son, he couldn’t help but think of Huyan Haze, that little guy. That was the inheritance of his bloodline. How could he, as a father, be indifferent to his current situation? So he looked at Nalan Jinhong and asked, “I heard that you went to Tianshui Kingdom. Are they okay?”

Hearing him ask about his wife and children, Nalan Jinhong felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, Huyan Mingshuo wasn’t that heartless. Thus, he said honestly, “Yes, on the way back, I did go to Tianshui Kingdom and saw Haoze and his mother and son. They are living very well now. In Tianshui Kingdom, Haoze’s status is irreplaceable. He is happier than you.”

I wanted to bring him back to the capital, However, he told me that you are going to marry a lot of women soon and will have a lot of children soon. He doesn’t want to go back to Ye Lan. He doesn’t want to fight with many people for a father, nor does he want to fight with many people for a royal grandmother. He also said that one day you don’t want his royal grandmother anymore, he will take her to Tianshui Kingdom.

As for Fu Yingran, She is also very good. She is indeed a smart woman and deserves everyone’s kind treatment. I eavesdropped on their mother-son conversation and know why she took Haoze away from you, Mother. She said that when you have a large number of wives and children in the future, Haoze will be the target of everyone’s plot as a direct descendant of the main palace.

She could not bear to put her child in such a dangerous situation, ‘”I can’t bear to let you, Mother, work too hard. She had to fight with Concubine Ni in order to protect you for the first half of her life. She didn’t want you, Mother, to fight with the ghosts and gods in the palace for Haoze for the second half of her life. That’s why she took Haoze away mercilessly. I have to say, she’s a good woman, a good mother, and a good wife. She deserves the kindness of all of you.”

The purpose of Nalan Jinhong’s words was to tell Huyan Mingshuo that Fu Yingran and his mother could live well without him, and to emphasize how virtuous Fu Yingran was. He was subconsciously blaming the entire Ye Lan Imperial Family for what they had done. This was a typical expression of ungratitude.

Huyan Mingshuo naturally understood the meaning behind his words. But he had no way of explaining, After all, all of this was real, So after listening, He could only smile bitterly and say, “This bastard, My wife is with him, He actually still cares about my mother. It’s really insignificant. However, that’s good. As long as they are fine, I can let go of them. As for Ying Ran, I don’t want to say anything more now. In the future, you will know that I am not an untrustworthy person. I will definitely do what I said back then. ”

This was also the reason why he wasn’t busy picking up his wife and children. With the current situation in Ye Lan, the mother and son weren’t around, so it would save them a lot of unnecessary trouble. After all, with their current status, they would indeed be the target of everyone’s plot. He couldn’t spare them to protect them now, so he decided to let them stay in Tianshui Country.

Just as the two brothers finished speaking, the Empress’s voice suddenly rang out, “Are you telling the truth? Did Haoze of this palace really say that he would come to pick me up to Tianshui Kingdom?”

When the crowd heard the noise, they immediately knelt down and saluted, “Greetings, Empress. The Empress is a thousand years old and a thousand years old.”

“No need for courtesy. All of you, get up.”

As the Empress spoke, she walked directly to Nalan Jinhong’s side and tugged at his sleeve, asking excitedly, “Is what you just said true?” Is Haoze of this palace doing well? Did he really say that he would take Ben Gong to Tianshui Country? And Ying Ran, how could she be so stupid? Hao Ze is my own grandson. This palace only recognizes Hao Ze as a grandson. Other palaces do not recognize him at all. Even if this palace is shattered, I will still protect him thoroughly. ”

Seeing how excited the Empress was, Nalan Jinhong could only answer honestly, “It’s true that I heard their mother and son’s conversation with my own ears.”

Only then did Nalan Jinhong say this, Before he could say anything else, The Empress let go of his sleeve and turned around to pull Huyan Mingshuo and said, “Ming Shuo, quickly send someone to send Mother to Tianshui Kingdom. This palace is going to see Haoze. As long as Mother is not in the Imperial Capital, you father and son can do whatever you want. Mother can turn a blind eye to me now. This is the only thing Mother can do to help you.”

As she spoke, the Empress’s tears unconsciously flowed down her cheeks. As a couple for decades, as long as there was any movement from the old emperor, she would be able to guess. She stayed in the Ye Lan Imperial Palace every day and watched her husband plot against her son, but she could not do anything.

Because her brother, the Right Virtuous King, was interfering with all of this, and behind the Right Virtuous King was her entire maternal clan. If she didn’t handle it properly, it would affect everyone in her maternal clan. Therefore, she only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible so that she would be completely out of sight. Besides, as long as she wasn’t in the palace, her son would be able to do anything.

Moreover, ever since Huyan Haze left, she had been thinking about him all the time. She was worried that he wouldn’t eat well, wear warm clothes, and sleep well at night. Now that she finally heard the news of her grandson, she couldn’t wait to see him.

Seeing her mother lose control of her emotions, Huyan Mingshuo also knew that her heart had probably collapsed long ago. If she stayed in the palace any longer, she would feel even more painful. So he held her hand and patted her comfortingly, “Alright, my son will send someone to send you over. However, it’s just like that kid’s wish. My wife and mother have been kidnapped by him. However, it’s good that you help me watch over there so that my wife and son won’t be kidnapped by others.”

He hadn’t forgotten that Duanmu Jing was eyeing him from the side.

Then he let go of his mother’s hand and shouted, “Where is the royal hidden guard?”

Several figures instantly appeared in front of him and knelt on one knee, saying, “The Royal Concealed Guard greets His Highness the Crown Prince. May I ask what orders His Highness the Crown Prince has?”

Seeing the old emperor’s incompetence and ambition, these royal guards consciously abandoned him and turned to protect Huyan Mingshuo’s surroundings to ensure his personal safety. Therefore, the current Ye Lan royal guards would only obey Huyan Mingshuo’s orders.

Anyway, in a few days, Huyan Mingshuo was the upright Emperor of Yelan, In so doing, It’s not against the ancestral system, Besides, as long as he could bring Fu Yingran and her son back to Yelan after he ascended the throne, and make her power be used by Yelan, Yelan would still be the number one country in the world. This was the lifelong wish of all the Yelan kingdoms, and also the wish of all the Yelan subjects. For this reason, they should do their utmost to protect Huyan Mingshuo and his wife.

Hence, after hearing Huyan Mingshuo’s summons, the four commanders of the royal hidden guards appeared one after another and knelt at his feet. This meant that they were sincerely submitting to Huyan Mingshuo.

Looking at their respectful attitudes, Huyan Mingshuo felt relieved. This was their acknowledgement of their identities, so he ordered, “The Royal Concealed Guards, listen to my orders. This palace orders you to send the Empress to Tianshui Kingdom to meet the Crown Princess and the Little Royal Sun immediately. No mistake. After this palace ascends to the throne, we will personally welcome them back.”

This was for the Empress, This was also for everyone to hear. This was a clear attitude towards everyone. In his heart, there was only one mother and only one wife. Huyan Haze’s identity was irreplaceable. This was also an explanation to Ying Ran indirectly. At the same time, it was also to let Nalan Jinhong feel at ease and prove that Huyan Mingshuo was not the Daoless Unconscious Monarch who hid everything.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Following which, the four commanders whistled, Not long after, all the royal hidden guards appeared, He appeared in front of the crowd, leaving half by Huyan Mingshuo’s side. The other half immediately stood beside the Empress. Seeing this posture, the Empress did not say anything else. She turned around and walked in front of these people. She took a deep look at Huyan Mingshuo, then turned around and led the group of hidden guards in the direction of Tianshui Kingdom.

Actually, this was also what she had planned for a long time ago, As long as she had the chance to leave the Imperial Palace, she would take the opportunity to leave the Imperial Capital. Normally, the old emperor would strictly guard against her and would never let her leave the Imperial Palace alone. It was to prevent her from getting too close to Huyan Mingshuo and exposing all of his plans. Therefore, she had been in a dilemma between her husband and her son all this time.

So, when the palace people told her this morning that Prince Bingjian had returned to court and was already at the city gate, her eyes suddenly lit up. This was a good opportunity. Why didn’t she take advantage of this opportunity to leave the Ye Lan Imperial Palace?

Thus, she found the old emperor and said that Nalan Jinhong had been a pitiful father and mother since he was young. Normally, it would have been fine, but now that he had returned triumphantly, he could not be too lonely in front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. As an aunt, she had watched him grow up. She should go and offer her condolences and show her concern for him.

After Emperor Ye Lan heard this, he was right. He had originally intended to rope in Nalan Jinhong. Now that the Empress was willing to come out to offer her sympathy, he naturally had to agree. Thus, he immediately agreed with joy.

With the consent of the old emperor, After the Empress returned to the palace to tidy up, He immediately left the palace and arrived at the city gate. When she arrived, she heard Nalan Jinhong talking about Fu Yingran and Huyan Haze. This inevitably reminded her of her grandson. She had nowhere to go, so she immediately decided to go to Tianshui Kingdom to stay with her grandson. No matter how the father and son fought in the capital, it had nothing to do with her.

Huyan Mingshuo saw his mother leave hurriedly once again. As a son of man, he couldn’t help but feel sour in his heart. Last time, his mother didn’t want to be a burden to him and had to leave the imperial capital in a hurry. Today, she was forced by her husband and son to leave in a hurry. Huyan Mingshuo could only clench his fists and swear to himself that such a thing definitely couldn’t happen a third time.

In the palace of Ye Lan, The old emperor was leisurely sitting on the dragon chair. He quietly waited for Nalan Jinhong to meet him. However, after a long time, Nalan Jinhong was nowhere to be seen. The guard who was waiting was the messenger. He quickly walked to the Imperial Stage and knelt on one knee, saying, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Bingjian and his army have arrived in the Imperial Capital and are handing over to His Highness the Crown Prince. He also told his subordinate to report to Your Majesty that there are many matters in the army. Please forgive me for not entering the palace today.”

After listening to the guard’s words, the old emperor’s leisure had disappeared, replaced by a look of disbelief. How was this possible! Thinking back to the time when he was able to disagree with the crowd and conferred the title of Prince Bingjian on him, and now that he had won, shouldn’t he have come to pay his respects to his uncle, who was the emperor, as soon as possible? Why did he go directly to Huyan Mingshuo?
