Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 198

Chapter 198 Seal Beiyuan

This is his son, He was his legitimate eldest son in law, But he was so unfamiliar with him, Xiao Rou was not to blame for being so excited just now, In retrospect, He had indeed neglected them, He hadn’t paid much attention to this son since he was young. It wasn’t until he reached adulthood that he proved his outstanding talent again and again that he gradually noticed his existence. At that time, he had to make him the Crown Prince because of the pressure of the officials. It was indeed as Xiao Rou had said, he had only been using him.

Before the identity of the Second Prince, Huyan Mingjing, was revealed, he had been suppressing him wholeheartedly. He always wanted Mingjing to replace him as the Crown Prince of Ye Lan, but since ancient times, he had been the first son of Huyan Mingshuo. As long as he did not make a big mistake, his status would be unshakable.

Later, Mingjing’s identity was revealed. There was no longer any possibility of ascending to the throne. He actually wanted Nalan Jinhong to take his place. All of this was for the sake of those so-called power.

And now, as his father, he actually personally planted spies beside him and forced others to poison him. Thinking of this, Father of the Emperor felt ashamed and embarrassed towards him. So, no matter what he wanted to do to him this time, he could leave it to him. In any case, he no longer had the power or power to contend against him.

Father of the Emperor wasn’t stupid either. Although there were still some people in the court who were his trusted aides, he also understood that with the exposure of these two women and these two letters, those people in the court would definitely be eliminated by Huyan Mingshuo’s excuse. This time, he had truly become a lonely person.

Huyan Mingshuo looked at the change in expression on his face. He couldn’t tell what it was like in his heart, Father was a rather shrewd person. He could probably clearly see his current situation. Since he had already thought of it, he should give him a result. He should also treat it as giving himself a result. It was time for this strange father-son relationship over the past twenty years to have a result.

So he took two steps forward, He walked to stand in front of the Grand Emperor and looked down at him with a condescending gaze. “One day, you will be my father all your life, not to mention that you are my biological father. I am different from you. You can kill each other, but I cannot. Don’t worry, I don’t want your life. I will still properly provide for you, so that you can live without worries for food, clothing, gold, and jade.”

Then, he turned around and strode towards the gate of the Northern Garden. As he walked, he said, “Pass on my orders, the Grand Emperor is old and in poor health. It is not easy to do anything. From today onwards, the Northern Garden refuses visitors. No one is allowed to enter or leave the Northern Garden. In addition, the Grand Emperor’s clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are in accordance with our specifications. There is no need to be any neglect.”

This was a disguised form of house arrest, cutting off all contact between Father of the Emperor and the outside world. Although he still enjoyed the Emperor’s specifications and was still well-dressed, it was undoubtedly the cruelest punishment for a person who valued power more than family ties, and even more important than his own life.

With Huyan Mingshuo’s departure, the gate to the Northern Garden was also closed. At the same time, the Grand Emperor, who had ruled over his entire life, was forever isolated from the outside world. From now on, no matter if his life was glorious or humiliating, people would gradually forget about him. However, people outside the Northern Garden would continue to struggle for the obsession in their hearts.

There were a total of nine concubines who were sent back to the manor by Hugh this time. The highest ranked among them was the Honored Concubine Mu Lian, Plus two spies from Father of the Emperor, The other six were all high-ranking officials from King Youxian’s faction, Huyan Mingshuo had indeed treated them equally this time. That afternoon, apart from the two women who were sent to the north courtyard, a total of seven small sedans in green were carried out of the palace gates at the same time and sent to their respective mansions. In front of each sedan was a eunuch and two guards. The eunuchs naturally sent orders and letters of divorce. The guards were only there to prevent accidents from happening halfway.

Such a big movement in the palace, Naturally, it caused quite a stir in the city. It had only been less than three months since the Consort Conferred Ceremony, The emperor openly abandoned them and returned to the manor. This was clearly telling everyone that his dignity as an emperor could not be trampled upon. No one could force him. Otherwise, it would only embarrass everyone. Wasn’t this because of the persistence of these people in the past, these women would waste their lives in vain.

At this moment, the gate of the Youxian Palace was tightly closed Right Virtuous King was pacing anxiously in the study. With such a big commotion in the palace, he was also worried that Xiao Ya would also be among the people who were abandoned this time. After all, she was the daughter of her own direct relatives. If she ended up like this, how would his father face her in the future? Back then, he had ignored her wishes and insisted on sending her into the palace.

Suddenly, the butler pushed open the door and said with a smile, “Reporting to Your Highness, this servant has already found out clearly. It turns out that the Emperor’s big commotion this time was because the Guards Army searched for assassins in the Western Palace and found out that the correspondence between the empress and the people outside the palace had violated the imperial taboo, so the Emperor had an excuse to abandon the empress.”

This servant also heard that, This time, he also found two extremely unscrupulous letters, The owner of the letter was actually the emperor’s spy, the mother’s niece of the two imperial concubines of Beiyuan. The general meaning of the letter was that the emperor told them to tamper with the emperor’s food and make the emperor stay in bed. When the emperor saw the letter, he was furious and personally sent the two women to Beiyuan.

“Then the Empress Dowager moved out of the Northern Garden and moved into the Eastern Palace. The Emperor even ordered the Northern Garden to be sealed. He also issued a decree saying that from now on, everyone in the Northern Garden is only allowed in and out. He is going to put Father of the Emperor under house arrest. Fortunately, there is no imperial concubine among the concubines found this time. Your Highness can rest assured.”

Rest assured, how could he be at ease? That was Father of the Emperor, the Emperor’s biological father, someone who had an indelible bond with Huyan Mingshuo. He could even order house arrest, so what about him? He was only his uncle, no matter what, he was still separated by a layer. When that time came, how would he deal with him?

Now that he hadn’t made a move, It’s just that I didn’t find the right opportunity, But once he gets the chance, At that time, his fate would probably be even more miserable than Father of the Emperor’s. However, he was unable to express these worries. After all, it was only his worries. So he walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down. He pretended to be calm and said to the butler, “It’s been hard on you. This king knows. Hurry up and tell the princess the news in the inner courtyard so that she won’t be worried.”

“Yes, this servant will inform the princess.” As he spoke, the butler bowed and left the study, heading towards the inner courtyard of the palace.

This incident, Xiao Ya was no longer among them. She had no intention of dealing with Huyan Mingshuo, Naturally, she would not do anything to please her. She just stayed quietly in her own bedroom hall and waited for the opportunity to leave the palace. When Brother Shuo had asked her to manage the West Palace, he had personally told her that he would find a suitable opportunity to let her out of the palace and let her find her happiness. She had been waiting for that opportunity.

The commotion in the imperial capital was not small, Fu Yingran naturally received the news as well. At this moment, Chun Tao was vividly talking about the new information she had just inquired about. “Princess, you don’t know, In the afternoon, the door to the palace suddenly opened wide. A row of green-clothed sedans came out from inside. Each sedan chair was equipped with a eunuch and two guards, That scene was quite spectacular, but looking at it made people feel rather awkward. In the past, the carriages and sedans entering and leaving the palace were all noble and luxurious. Today, however, they were all small sedans in green. The people on the streets widened their eyes when they saw it. They couldn’t believe that there was actually such a shabby sedan chair in the palace.

There are also some people who are defending you. They said that they were deliberately trying to obtain Father of the Emperor’s will, regardless of your hard work in the battles everywhere, they wanted to enjoy their success. Forget it. Since they entered the palace, they don’t know how to guard their duties properly. They actually fornicated with foreign ministers. Isn’t this embarrassing to the royal family? “No wonder the Emperor divorced them. If only the Empress was here. With the Empress suppressing them in the palace, who would dare to be a demon?”

The eyes of the people were bright, Although they only saw what was on the surface, But their judgement is often the fairest, For them, Who can bring them a happy life, Who is the true master of this country, In their hearts, Fu Yingran was like a war god. She was the one who had taken down this peaceful and prosperous era with the current Emperor. She was the emperor’s betrothed wife and the legitimate empress of Ye Lan. Apart from wiping the powder at home every day, these official ladies in the imperial capital were all plotting against each other.

Why would they be able to force the Empress out of the country, He even angered Tian Yizhuang because of this, Closing all the shops under their name made their lives miserable. During this period of time, there was a shortage of goods in the imperial capital. Many of them had already reached the point where there was no market for them. All of this was caused by these unknown women. Therefore, when they saw that they had obtained such a fate, the common people all applauded and applauded.

Most importantly, All the shops in Tianyi Manor opened early this morning to do business, The price of the goods inside was inconvenient. Some of them had even dropped by two or three levels. Now that they thought about it together, everyone naturally thought that it must be because the Emperor had made such a decision. The Empress was very happy after hearing this, so she ordered Tianyi Villa to give the benefits to the people. In this way, Fu Yingran picked up another good reputation for nothing.

However, Fu Yingran had never paid much attention to people with false names, so she was too lazy to listen to Chun Tao talk about such things. She raised her head to look at Chun Tao and interrupted her, “Stay to the point. Since when did you learn Cui’er’s trick? You actually said something that you didn’t have.”

Hearing that, Chun Tao said, His expression changed drastically. He immediately put away his show-off thoughts and said, He said seriously, “It’s the princess, servant remembered, Never do it again, servant asked, The reason why the Emperor made such a big commotion, The reason for that was because when the Guards Legion Corps searched the palace, Searching through the correspondence between the women in the palace and the people outside the palace, “This is the biggest taboo of the royal family. The most important thing is that there is evidence that Father of the Emperor ordered people to harm the emperor. That’s why the emperor was enraged by the lightning. He made a vicious move and sent Father of the Emperor to the north courtyard on the spot. Afterwards, the emperor ordered the north courtyard to be sealed, Father of the Emperor to be placed under house arrest, and even the empress dowager moved to the east courtyard.”

“No wonder, no wonder he made such a big commotion this time. This palace thought that he would slowly clean up these women. I really didn’t expect that he would deal with more than half of the West Palace. So there is such a thing in the middle.”
