Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 199

Chapter 199 Imperial Capital Assassinated
Fu Yingran felt uncomfortable in her heart. That was her husband, the father of her son. Now that so many people were plotting against her, she was always in danger. How could she not worry? Fortunately, she was in the capital now. Since these people dared to plot against her husband, they had to have the courage to take revenge on her.

Huyan Mingshuo absolutely couldn’t deal with those wealthy wolves alone. Immediately, Fu Yingran decided to change her original plan. She wanted to go back to the palace and stand beside Huyan Mingshuo righteously. She wanted to see how these people plotted against her husband in front of her, so she could return it untouched.

Thus, she said to Chun Tao, “Pass on the order, Get our men out of town overnight, Tomorrow morning, This palace wants to openly enter the city in the name of the Empress, “Anyway, we have a good understanding of the situation in the Imperial Capital. Rather than hiding in the shadows and waiting for them to take action, it is better to put them in the open and force them to take action. In this way, we will occupy the leading position and end this situation as soon as possible. Moreover, the situation is tense now, and I cannot bear to let the Emperor face it alone.”

“Yes, this servant will inform the others.” Chun Tao answered and went out,

Fu Yingran also stood up to pack her belongings. In fact, her heart was also very conflicted. The current situation had already exceeded her expectations. At least until now, nothing had happened according to her plan. Although the general direction had not changed, the details were out of control, making her feel overwhelmed.

It turned out that over the years, Prince Jing had always played an important role beside her, No, he just left, Everything doesn’t go so smoothly, Coupled with Jin’er’s departure, Fu Yingran felt even more powerless. Although Chun Tao and the others weren’t bad, they weren’t trained enough to use it. Fortunately, Huyan Mingshuo was also able to tell that her plan wasn’t comprehensive enough, so he would definitely have the ability to help her perfect it. In this way, the two of them would just happen to complement each other.

That was why Fu Yingran decided to give up his original plan and enter the palace ahead of time. It was better to fight hand in hand with Huyan Mingshuo than to fight alone.

Fu Yingran and the others moved quickly. He left the inn in a few moments, So when Huyan Mingshuo finished handling the matters in the palace, When they arrived at the inn, Fu Yingran’s shadow disappeared. Fortunately, he had been prepared and snapped his fingers. A figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It turned out that when Fu Yingran left the palace, Huyan Mingshuo had ordered the hidden guards to secretly follow her and protect her from the distance. Since this person had always followed Fu Yingran, he should know where they were going.

So Huyan Mingshuo looked at the person kneeling in front of him and asked, “I told you to follow the Empress. What about the Empress now? What new plan do they have?”

Seeing him ask, The man said, “Reporting to the emperor, This subordinate was ordered to protect the Empress, However, they were still far away from each other, I didn’t hear it very clearly, It’s just that I know that the Empress has heard that someone is trying to harm you, “So I was worried, so I decided to walk from the shadows to the open. The empress told her to pack their luggage and leave the city overnight. She said that she would enter the city as the empress tomorrow morning. The empress said that instead of hiding in the shadows and waiting for others to take action, it would be better to force those people to take action in the open so that she could occupy the leading position.”

Huyan Mingshuo finished listening, He smiled and said, “As expected, worthy of being my queen, “Everything you think is exactly the same as mine. Since that’s the case, then I’ll wait for her in the palace tomorrow. Find more people and escort the Empress safely into the palace. Tomorrow, she will enter the city with her true colors. Those old foxes will definitely act. I don’t want any accidents to happen to my Empress of Ye Lan in the imperial capital of Ye Lan.”

“Subordinate’s Decree” The moment that person finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash. Huyan Mingshuo’s worry was not unnecessary. It was precisely because of his arrangement that Fu Yingran and his group avoided an unnecessary disaster.

The next morning, Fu Yingran and the others returned to their original appearances and arrived at the city gate. As it was still early, there weren’t many people entering and leaving the city gate. The people guarding the gate were still the last few. However, Chun Tao didn’t pester them like last time. Instead, she directly held Fu Yingran’s token as the Crown Princess and said to them, “The Empress has arrived. Hurry up and open the city gate.”

What? Empress? The guards looked at each other, and when they reacted, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed? “Greetings, Empress. Thousands of years old. Thousands of years old.” Although everyone knew that Fu Yingran was not officially conferred the title, everyone knew that after the Emperor’s ascension ceremony, he had personally said that the Empress of Ye Lan could only be hers. Hence, when everyone heard that the Empress had arrived, who would dare to neglect her? One of them even ran up the tower in a flash, probably looking for their commander.

Chun Tao did not stop him. Instead, she turned around and walked to the front of the carriage. She stood respectfully. Fu Yingran lifted the curtain and looked outside. Seeing that the soldiers were still kneeling, she said, “All of you, get up. Go find your commander and ask him to escort me to the Emperor.”

‘”Yes, Your Majesty.” Just as everyone got up, they saw Lei Yu leading a group of Guards Legion Corps all the way to Fu Yingran’s carriage and kneeling on one knee to salute him, “Commander of the Guards Lei Yu, welcome Your Majesty. Thousands of years old. Thousands of years old.”

“Commander Lei, please stand up. I heard that the imperial capital is in a state of tension. This palace is worried about the Emperor’s situation, so I rushed back specially. I hope that I can help the Emperor. Commander Lei, please lead the way and escort this palace to the Emperor.”

‘”Your Majesty,” Lei Yu stood up and said to the subordinate behind him, “The Empress, get up and drive back to the palace. All the Guards Legion Corps will open the way.”

“Yes.” Everyone immediately turned around and confronted each other, waiting for Fu Yingran to give the order.

Ever since he learned of Fu Yingran’s plans last night, Huyan Mingshuo returned to the palace and found Lei Yu. He instructed him to bring the Empress’ luanjia to the city gate early this morning and wait, When Fu Yingran arrived, he would escort them all the way into the palace. He didn’t want his empress to feel any grievances against her. He naturally wanted to welcome her back to the palace. He also said that she wanted to enter the city openly and stand beside him righteously. Therefore, he naturally couldn’t let her enter the palace alone like this.

Although she had not been officially conferred the title and could not let the officials leave the city to welcome her, within the allowance, she still needed to show off.

This also coincided with Fu Yingran’s intentions. Otherwise, how could they complement each other? She just yawned and immediately sent someone over a pillow. No, Fu Yingran had just opened his head and Huyan Mingshuo could immediately cooperate. Thus, Fu Yingran did not hesitate and went straight to Luanjia. After saying “Let’s go”, the group of people headed towards the Imperial Palace.

Lei Yu vigilantly walked beside Luanjia. Watch the surroundings. Last night, the Emperor had said that the journey would not be peaceful, so they had to be more careful. Lei Yu naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately raised his spirits and thought to himself that the Empress was willing to come back with great difficulty. He must not let her be in any danger on his territory.

However, the more he worried, the more he wanted to come, Since entering the city, Fu Yingran deliberately instructed the team to slow down. She said that she wanted to see what happened in the imperial capital, as if she was intentionally waiting for someone. Although Lei Yu had his own objections, he did not say anything. Since ancient times, there was a difference between the monarchs and subjects. He only needed to obey orders. Moreover, Fu Yingran was not that willful person. She must have her own motives in doing so.

Fu Yingran was indeed waiting for someone. She purposely entered the city in such a big way to tell those people that she had returned and deliberately slowed down the team. She also wanted to give the other party a chance to deploy her men and see how understanding she was. She was going to use herself as bait to catch a big fish.

Fortunately, those people didn’t disappoint her, Just as they were about to arrive at the palace, A wild horse jumped out of nowhere, They rushed towards their team, The whole team was cut into two from the middle, separating the Guards Legion Corps from Fu Yingran’s carriage. Fortunately, Lei Yu was already riding beside the carriage. At this moment, he was with Fu Yingran. He immediately stood in front of the carriage and shouted, “Protect, protect the Empress.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few masked men suddenly jumped out from the crowd and rushed towards Fu Yingran’s carriage. Lei Yu was shocked. Although his kung fu was not bad, he was unable to protect the Empress while his avatar was dealing with some people. Fortunately, a familiar voice instantly calmed him down.

“Don’t be stunned. Go deal with those underlings. I’ll protect you, Princess.” This was Yu’s voice. Afterwards, he also appeared beside Fu Yingran’s luanjia and stood side by side with Lei Yu. At the same time, the hidden guards arranged by Huyan Mingshuo also appeared to protect Fu Yingran’s luanjia.

Yu was the hidden guard that Fu Tianchen had sent to Fu Yingran. He had been following Fu Yingran all these years, It’s just that there are very few opportunities for him to show up, I can’t help it, Master is too strong, These subordinates of theirs are almost useless, In the end, he actually became the commander of the guards in the Tianshui Kingdom’s imperial palace. This made him very helpless. Originally, Fu Yingran planned to let him stay in Tianshui Country to protect Huyan Haze. After Duanmu Jing was stopped, he said that Huyan Haze would be handed over to him. He asked Yu to follow Fu Yingran back to Ye Lan Imperial Capital. There was a good deal of care on the way, so he now became Fu Yingran’s secret guard.

Seeing the rain appear, Lei Yu felt relieved. He cupped his hands and said to him, “The Empress has troubled you, Brother Yu.”

After saying that, he flew out and unsheathed his precious saber. He killed himself towards those people. He raised his saber and cut off their heads like he was harvesting rice. Then, he pulled a bag out of the vendor’s hand and packed the heads up one by one.

Of course, Yu Hu was not idle beside Fu Yingran. Seeing Lei Yu leave, another group of people jumped out from the crowd and rushed towards Fu Yingran. He shouted, “Kill Fu Yingran, Master will be rewarded heavily.”

Unfortunately, they hadn’t even touched Fu Yingran’s side when they were entangled by the rain. However, in a short moment, they all fell to the ground without moving. However, Yu stood expressionlessly in front of Luanjia. The sword in his hand and drops of blood fell down, causing one to shiver.

The battle ended in just a cup of tea. Apart from Lei Yu harvesting more than a dozen heads, there was not much change in the group. Seeing that the fight was over, Fu Yingran calmly instructed, “Since the blocking dogs have been cleaned up, then let’s continue on our way.”
