Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 194

Chapter 194 A Loophole In It

Huyan Mingshuo did not go far. Hearing this shout, the corner of his mouth slightly rose, but he continued to walk forward.

Fu Yingran had just removed his clothes and stepped into the tub. The door was pushed open. She instinctively held the soft sword beside her in her hand to increase her vigilance. A moment later, after hearing the familiar footsteps, a smile could not help but hang on the corners of her mouth. The vigilance on her body also relaxed. After putting the soft sword back in her hand, she slowly immersed herself in the bathtub.

Huyan Mingshuo came in and saw this scene. The soft sword that Fu Yingran carried with him was casually placed aside. while she herself was soaking in the bathtub as if no one else was watching, Huyan Mingshuo was originally at the age of blood energy, coupled with long-term longing, Naturally, she couldn’t control it. She walked to the side of the bathtub in three or two steps. The two of them scrubbed randomly and had to go through some trouble. Fu Yingran was already ashamed of him, so she wouldn’t refute him now. No matter how much he did, she only cooperated with him. Only after her husband knocked on the bathtub three times did the two of them fall asleep.

The sun rises and the moon sets, The sky was bright, In the court of Ye Lan, The officials were discussing something in twos and threes, but the highest chair on the throne room was empty. Today, the Emperor did not come to the court. He only sent a message, “Yesterday night, there was an assassin in the palace. The Emperor was enraged and ordered a strict investigation into the harem. We must find the assassin. Let’s go back early today, gentlemen.”

After Xiao Yizi finished speaking, he ignored the shock in the eyes of the officials and quickly left the hall.

At this moment, all the officials present were in danger. They knew very well in their hearts that regardless of whether this matter was true or false, the Emperor would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to clean up a portion of the people who were against him. Based on their suppression of the Emperor during this period of time, it was impossible for the Emperor to endure it all the time. What he lacked was only an opportunity.

This morning, all the shops under the name of Tian Yizhuang in the imperial capital suddenly opened their doors. Normally, they would start doing business. Some sensitive people immediately thought, “Does this mean that Fu Yingran has already made his move? They originally planned to report to the Emperor this morning and ask the Emperor to come up with a countermeasure.”

Unexpectedly, there was something wrong with the imperial palace. Everyone was even more certain that this was Fu Yingran’s revenge for being dissatisfied with Emperor Na Fei. However, with the Emperor’s care for her, the Emperor would definitely not take action against her.

Therefore, he could only vent his anger on the officials who had planned the Consort Sealing Ceremony, As for these people in the court, Although more than half of them had recently been promoted by Huyan Mingshuo, He was also loyal to Huyan Mingshuo, However, many of them were still old officials left behind by the old emperor, These people had always been suppressing this young emperor who had just ascended the throne. Among them, the sect led by the Right Virtuous King was the most prominent. As long as the emperor wanted to attack any of the empress in the West Palace, they would all attack together, forcing the emperor to compromise. The so-called “law does not blame the public” had always been used well.

Fortunately, At most, the empress of the West Palace would occasionally barge into the East Palace to see the Emperor. The others didn’t do anything out of line, so even if Huyan Mingshuo wanted to attack, he couldn’t find a reasonable reason. But now, it was different. There was actually an assassin who broke into Long Xiang Palace to assassinate the Emperor. No matter who was behind this, the Emperor would definitely use this as a starting point to deal with some people.

Right Virtuous King’s thoughts were the same as everyone else’s. What he was most worried about now was whether Huyan Mingshuo would take action against his Right Virtuous King’s Mansion. Although he believed that his daughter would not be involved in this matter, he could not guarantee that Huyan Mingshuo would use this as a pretext to attack him. After all, he had always been against him during this period of time.

He knew that this was something that no emperor could tolerate, He also knew that this day would come sooner or later, But he didn’t expect it to come so soon, He originally thought that he could endure until Ya’er was able to stand firm in the palace, But he didn’t know, Xiao Ya didn’t care about this at all. Furthermore, Xiao Ya was in charge of the West Palace from the very beginning. Because Xiao Ya hated her father for insisting on letting her enter the palace, she didn’t send a single word back to the manor since entering the palace. That was why the Right Virtuous King had been doing useless work all this time. Therefore, Huyan Mingshuo was completely offended.

Duke Youxian knew very well that no emperor would allow a single subject to bully him. In the past, there was no excuse for not attacking, but now it was different. There was no way Huyan Mingshuo would not use the excuse. However, the situation was now irreversible. He could only accept his fate and wait for this nephew to deal with him.

So he looked up at the high dragon chair, sighed, turned around, and walked out of the hall. Was it a blessing? Was it a curse? Was it a curse? Was it a curse that could not be avoided?

Seeing him leave, the others gradually left as well, but their hearts were filled with different thoughts.

At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo was leisurely accompanying his wife to breakfast in the bedroom hall. The person sitting opposite him looked at him with a crafty expression and said, “Husband, do you still remember that you promised me that you would allow me to open a shop in the imperial capital after returning to the imperial capital?”

“Yes, it’s true. Tell me, what do you want to do?” Huyan Mingshuo put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and raised his eyes to look at her. Every time she showed such an expression, it meant that she would start scheming again. Moreover, judging from her appearance, the person scheming this time should be him without a doubt. However, he didn’t know what this girl wanted this time. Was he able to afford it?

“Don’t be so unpleasant. Look at your expression. We are husband and wife. Isn’t yours mine? Mine is yours too. In the end, they are all our sons’. What does it matter who they belong to? Besides, I don’t want much. I just want you to take care of my business and buy this piece from the palace for me.

Anyway, you’re going to put me in the back, As queen, I was supposed to be in charge of the harem’s expenses and purchases for you, I’m just missing a hand, Send someone in directly from outside the palace. “It also saves those eunuchs from running back and forth and avoids them from deducting silver taels from them. This way, they can not only reduce the expenses of the palace, but also take care of my business. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Just give me this piece. Otherwise, I will just open a shop and no one will do business with me. This shop will not be able to continue to operate.”

Looking at her flowing mouth, Huyan Mingshuo finally understood why she was able to accumulate such a huge fortune in the dark. As soon as she spoke, Even the dead can be said to be alive, He clearly wanted to control the survival of the entire Ye Lan Imperial Palace, To be able to be so high-sounding by her, However, this was not a good thing for him, the emperor. This was equivalent to handing over the life and death of the entire palace. After all, buying this piece was the easiest thing to do. The concubines in the palace had always worked hard on food and utensils to become demons. Obviously, she had ignored the uncertainties in this.

Facing her request, Huyan Mingshuo had no choice but to seriously consider, “Do you know the consequences of doing this?” You’re right, There is no distinction between us. However, in this way, you and I will be in a very passive situation. My difficulties are obvious. Once I agree to you, I will hand over the life and death of the entire palace to you. However, even so, I am not worried because I believe that even if you plot against everyone, you will not plot against me.

But have you ever thought about your own situation? The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility, If I give you this piece, In the future, regardless of any problems that might arise in the palace, Everyone can put the blame on you, and the items needed in this palace are quite complicated. You can’t personally take care of everything. If others want to frame you, they just need to make a slight move on it and they can put you to death. At that time, even if I want to protect you, there is nothing I can do.

Moreover, there are still some ambitious women living in the West Palace. What would you do if they used your hand to attack me and then fell on your head?

That’s why I thought that we might as well throw out such a hot potato. Perhaps there will be some unexpected harvest, don’t you think? ” Look, this is the loophole our Emperor mentioned back then. Even though Fu Yingran’s plan was very thorough and could force the Ye Lan royal family into isolation, many details and vital points were not taken into account by her.

After listening to Huyan Mingshuo’s analysis, Fu Yingran couldn’t help but frown. Indeed, she had only considered the general direction. The twists and turns inside had indeed been ignored by her. Now, Fu Ying finally realized that what Zhou Qing said was true. No one would always be lucky and always go smoothly.

These past few years, he had only given Jin’er and the others a big direction and didn’t tell them exactly what to do. However, everything went smoothly. If no one intervened, there would be countless troubles. It could be seen that Duanmu Jing had indeed paid a lot for her in the past few years.

But no wonder, Originally, Fu Yingran was not someone who grew up in this era, The world she had lived in since she was a child was not so complicated, Although she had the original owner’s memories, However, the original owner had been practicing martial arts with Duanmu Yuan since he was five years old. As the largest force in Jianghu, the people she came into contact with were all people with the word’righteous’. There were no such twists and turns at all. Even though she had lived here for a few years, she had followed Huyan Mingshuo to live in the Crown Prince’s Mansion at first, and then she had followed him to fight everywhere.

Huyan Mingshuo did not take a concubine these years, That’s why she didn’t even come into contact with these shady tricks in the harem, Hearing Huyan Mingshuo’s analysis, Fu Yingran felt his back go numb. She spoke well about her status as a queen in Ye Lan. In fact, she was only an outsider. She did not have the support of her relatives, nor did she have any power that would cause everyone to fear. Although she had a few dollars in her hands, money was not something that could be nurtured well. If she were to stay at your house today, she might run away tomorrow. She might not be able to rely on it.

‘”Looks like Zhou Qing is right. I think a lot of things are too simple. No one will always be lucky, and it’s impossible for everything to go smoothly. I’m still too young. I didn’t think carefully about this matter. Let’s do everything as you said.”

“Alright, I’ll have someone spread the news right now. As for who this hot potato will burn, I’ll let you be happy.”

Hearing this, the worry on Fu Yingran’s face immediately dissipated. He changed into a charming smile and said, “Then thank you Lord Long for your kindness. I will inform Zhou Qing now and tell him that there has been a change in the plan and that they have changed their strategy. Then I will not disturb His Majesty’s meal. After everything is settled, I will come to accompany you.”

As she spoke, she stood up from her chair and did not walk out. Just as she stepped out of the door, she jumped onto the tallest tree in the garden and instantly disappeared.
