Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Seek One’s Own Good Fortune
But now? Look at this, Originally, our country of Ye Lan was in a good situation, Has been made this way, “Now you’re actually looking for me to give you an idea. What other idea can I have? I’ve already been separated from my wife and I have no other choice. How can I care about you? In my opinion, you should all go back to your respective mansions. Since everything has been done, you must face the consequences bravely. Everyone, please be blessed.”

As he spoke, he stood up from the dragon chair and went to the harem without any hesitation. After thinking for a day and night, he finally understood something. Power was something that he didn’t bring with him. Everything was up to fate. For this dragon chair, he had already lost enough.

Back then, if it wasn’t for this dragon chair, Imperial Concubine Yan wouldn’t have snatched him from her mother’s hand. He wouldn’t have caused her brother’s family to be reduced to ashes overnight for this position. If it wasn’t for this dragon chair, he wouldn’t have agreed to accept Concubine Ni into the palace. In the end, even he was counted.

If he hadn’t taken Ni Fei into the palace back then, the Empress and her son wouldn’t have been so separated from him. He wouldn’t have done so many things that would have damaged the father-son relationship, and now he was in such a hostile situation.

He had also figured it out now. Since things had already reached this point, he could only leave everything to fate. No matter what, Huyan Mingshuo was still his son, right? He was not going to take his own life, was he?

Look at all these years, What did Ye Lan look like in his hands? He, Huyan Mingshuo, was able to take all the kingdoms of the world back to Ye Lan in just three years under such difficult conditions. However, they submitted to Ye Lan and promised to pay tribute to him repeatedly in the future. No matter what the reason was, Huyan Mingshuo had done it. This was a fact.

This was the lifelong pursuit of many generations of Sovereigns of Ye Lan, Now that it had been realized in his hands, it could be seen that his strength was indeed much stronger than his own. Perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to let this dragon chair sit. As for those enemies that he had offended over the years, then let it be as it pleased. Everything had its own cause and consequences. Since he had done it back then, he must now have the courage to take revenge.

Moreover, as long as Huyan Mingshuo was still his son, those people would still be afraid of him, Father of the Emperor. After all, he was still the biological father of the new emperor. After thinking about this, the old emperor’s footsteps became even more resolute.

Everyone in the court watched the old emperor leave, and their hearts instantly disappeared. Judging from the old emperor’s attitude, they planned to let him go. In this way, how could they, as officials, deal with themselves? Back then, although the Concubine Na ceremony was organized by the Right Virtuous King, and the candidate was also chosen by the Right Virtuous King, they were all unanimously in favour. The women who entered the palace this time were also chosen from their families. It could be said that they had completely offended Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran now.

Originally, they were still thinking, As long as they had the old emperor as their backer, even if Huyan Mingshuo became the new emperor, he would still have a grudge against them. He would not do anything to them. In the future, if his daughter was able to win the favor of the new emperor in the palace, then they would have no mistakes. At the same time, they would also be able to obtain better benefits for their clan.

But now, it was actually like this, Now that these women had entered the palace, The old emperor had now abandoned his hand and wanted them to bear the revenge of Huyan Mingshuo and his wife alone. Everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but be thrown into chaos. After all, in this era when the monarch was supreme, the monarch was the subject, and the monarch made the subjects die. Facing Huyan Mingshuo, who was about to ascend to the throne, they could be said to be powerless.

Thus, everyone surrounded the Right Virtuous King like a swarm of bees. He said in a tongue-tied manner, “Your Highness, you have to make a decision for everyone, We all listened to you back then, “You said that as long as the emperor supports us, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not make things difficult for us. But now, the Emperor seems to have left us alone. What should we do? In a few days, His Highness the Crown Prince will ascend to the throne. If he makes his move, will we still be able to survive?”

“Yes, Your Highness. Once His Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, you will be the minister. Isn’t it just a matter of words for him to deal with us? You have to make a decision for everyone.”

“Your Highness, this Crown Prince and Crown Princess are not easy to deal with. If it weren’t for your repeated assurances, we wouldn’t have dared to offend the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.”

“Your Highness …”

Looking at these people who were gossiping, Right Virtuous King was also incomparably irritated at this moment. He didn’t know what to do in his heart, If their opponent was only Huyan Mingshuo, Then, with his status as the uncle, Bi Baishan was the first to suppress him. No matter what, he was still Huyan Mingshuo’s uncle. However, the person they offended this time was Fu Yingran. He was a difficult person to deal with. Thinking back to Prince Zuo, thinking back to Concubine Ni, and thinking back to the Southern Jiang Kingdom, the Right Virtuous King’s back immediately went cold. However, facing everyone, he couldn’t show it.

Thus, he could only pretend to be calm and said, “There is no need to panic, The Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince of Ye Lan, We’re subjects of Ye Lan, “No matter what, he won’t kill us all. Besides, as long as the ceremony for the ascension to the throne is over, there will be a Consort Conferred Ceremony. As long as the Consort Conferred Ceremony is over and the young ladies of the various families enter the palace, they will become the imperial concubines of Ye Lan. With this relationship, I don’t think His Highness the Crown Prince will be too merciless to us.”

When he finished speaking, Great General Mu Feng immediately said, “Your Highness, that’s not what you said. You are the Crown Prince’s biological uncle, so he naturally won’t argue with you. However, we are different. Because of Imperial Concubine Na, Imperial Concubine Na has already left with His Royal Highness, and now even the Empress has left.”

At this moment, His Highness the Crown Prince must be burning with anger, He can’t find you to vent his anger on the Emperor, We can only vent our anger on us. Therefore, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait for death. We should come up with a way as soon as possible to prevent the ascension ceremony from happening smoothly. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince does not ascend to the throne, the Emperor will still be the Emperor. The Crown Prince will only be the Crown Prince. We can also take advantage of this period of time to come up with a solution.

Don’t forget, This is what you’re planning, The person he was targeting was the Crown Princess, “Just because of the Crown Prince’s love for the Crown Princess, once he ascends to the throne, the Crown Princess will definitely be the future. If the Crown Princess becomes the legitimate queen of Ye Lan and adds these powers in her own hands, it will be as easy as turning her palm if she wants to deal with us, so we should think of a countermeasure.”

After hearing Mu Feng’s words, everyone felt that it was reasonable. Thus, they also echoed him and said, “Great General, what you said is extremely true. We really should think of a countermeasure to prevent the ascension ceremony from being held as scheduled. Otherwise, with His Highness the Crown Prince’s temperament, once he ascends to the throne, we people will probably not have a good ending.”

However, after King Youxian heard this, But he didn’t agree, He immediately objected, “Although the general said is not unreasonable, However, in this way, His Highness the Crown Prince will have more time to deal with us, In the present situation, Whether His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne or not, He has already taken full control of everything in Ye Lan. In fact, he has the final say in this country of Ye Lan long ago. Moreover, if the ceremony for the ascension to the throne cannot be held as scheduled, the Imperial Concubine’s Ceremony will naturally not be held. Then you have nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince. If he wants to deal with you, then it will be even more justified.

Besides, it’s only ten days before the ascension ceremony, We don’t have any power or influence in our hands. Just relying on this small amount of troops in Old General Mu’s hands is simply a drop in the bucket. Moreover, without the support of the treasury, the basic survival problem of the Mu Clan Army can’t be solved. How can we contend against the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yelan Army in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince?

So, even if we do come up with something, but also powerless to do so, In my opinion, we should just let nature take its course, Leave it to fate, At this juncture, I advise you, “It’s better not to go against His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, none of us are as strong as Prince Zuo Xian and Concubine Ni back then. Think about the fate of the Nanjiang Imperial Family. Their powers are incomparable to ours. This King has nothing to do now. I advise you to stop.”

After saying that, Prince Youxian also left the hall dejectedly. There was nothing he could do now, Whether it was power or influence, or strength, Or financial resources, They weren’t as good as Huyan Mingshuo. Originally, he was still thinking that as long as the treasury was still in their hands, he might be able to fight Huyan Mingshuo with all his might. However, now that even Lan Zheng had joined His Highness the Crown Prince, they were like being beaten out of their bones. Without a pillar, even if he didn’t want to accept his fate, he wouldn’t be able to do so.

Seeing that Prince Youxian had also left, Everyone also lost their fighting spirit. Thinking back to what he said just now, they were all like frosty eggplants. In an instant, what happened? Yeah, thinking back to Prince Zuo, thinking back to Concubine Ni, thinking back to the ambitious Southern Imperial Family, how powerful and powerful these people were. Even they were not Huyan Mingshuo and his wife’s opponents, let alone him? Therefore, everyone had no choice but to walk out with their heads lowered, and everything could only be left to fate.

Seeing everyone leave resentfully, Mu Lin was fine, He didn’t say anything, He sighed and left with everyone else. However, Mu Feng scolded from behind with his eyes wide open, “They are all cowards. When he received the imperial edict, they were all very lively. Why are they all cowering turtles now? Are you afraid of him? I’m not afraid. I want to see if I, Mu Army, can stop him from ascending to the throne. Hmph!” With that, he waved his sleeves and strode to the front of the crowd, taking the lead in leaving the palace.

It wasn’t that Mu Feng wasn’t afraid of death, but that he was already on the verge of death. He had no choice but to make a fortune. Back then, because of Mu Lian’s position as Consort, he, Mu Army, had completely offended Huyan Mingshuo and his wife. Now that Mu Lian had entered the palace, it was a foregone conclusion that he would not be favored after entering the palace.

If they don’t do anything else, In that case, the one waiting for the Mu Clan Army would probably be to return to his field after disarming. Then, this Great General would become a worthless title. Therefore, for the sake of the future of the entire Mu Clan Army, he could only fight Huyan Mingshuo until the end. Even in the end, they still failed. At the very least, he could give an explanation to everyone in the Mu Clan Army.

Seeing his father so persistent, Mu Lin, who had just arrived at the door, paused for a moment. Afterwards, he continued to follow the crowd, As for his father’s decision, He has no right to change it, After all, the commander of the Mu Clan Army is still his father. The only thing he can do now is to try to protect the Mu Clan Army. The only thing he can do now is to try his best to dissuade his father. After all, as a subject, how can you defeat a king? Furthermore, this king is Huyan Mingshuo, known as the Asura of Hell.
