Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 200

Chapter 200 After Sealing

“Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone tidied up their teams and walked forward. This time, the team walked very fast. Everyone was afraid that there would be an accident on the road.

Fu Yingran rarely spoke in such a tone. She had always scolded people without dirty words. It could be seen that she was really angry when she said such words today. Everyone felt uncomfortable. It seemed that the imperial capital was going to be unstable. There were always so many people who didn’t know the heavens and earth. They were always harboring unreasonable thoughts. Their abilities weren’t great, but their schemes weren’t small. They were always trying to steal other people’s results. How was this different from a thief?

When the group arrived at the entrance of the palace, The guard saw Thunderstorm walking at the front and the Empress Luanjia following closely behind him. He hastily opened the middle door and respectfully welcomed them into the palace. After everyone entered, Lei Yu apologetically said to Ying Ran, “Your Highness, what happened just now is quite serious. I have to report it to the Emperor quickly, so I can’t send you to Yi Kun Palace. I hope Your Highness will forgive me.”

“No problem, you can go. Since I have already entered the palace, I think the palace should be safe. Commander Lei, if you need anything, please do as you please. I recognize Yi Kun Palace.”

After saying that, Fu Yingran instructed the people behind him to continue heading towards Yi Kun Palace. Luanjia went all the way to the gate of Yi Kun Palace. Fu Yingran walked down Luanjia and walked in with his chest raised. As long as he stepped into this threshold, he would be the legitimate queen of Ye Lan from now on. His responsibilities would become heavier and he would no longer be able to do as he wished.

As soon as she stepped into the gate of Yi Kun Palace, she saw Xiao Yizi arrive at the gate of Yi Kun Palace with an imperial edict in his hand. He shouted with a sharp voice, “The imperial edict has arrived. The original Crown Prince’s imperial concubine, Fu shi Yingran, has accepted the edict.”

Hearing that, Fu Yingran knew that it was an imperial edict conferring her the title of Empress, so she didn’t care about anything else. She turned around and knelt down at the door, saying, “This concubine, Madam Fu, received the edict.”

Although everyone acknowledged her identity as Empress, However, without this decree, her position as the empress would not be honorable. Therefore, she had to accept this decree. Not only did she have to accept it, she also had to accept it respectfully according to the rules. This was because she respected the royal family, Huyan Mingshuo, and her status as the empress.

Seeing Fu Yingran kneel to receive the decree, Little Yizi was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps to the side. I’m just kidding. This Empress can not even kneel before the Emperor. A little eunuch didn’t dare to be presumptuous. Otherwise, would he have to die? Little Yizi avoided Fu Yingran and began to read the imperial decree, “Feng Tian Cheng Yun. The emperor decreed that the former imperial concubine of the Crown Prince’s Manor, Fu Yingran, should be respectful and dignified. She can be a model for the world. I hereby confer you the title of Empress, and bestow you the Yi Kun Palace, and hope that he can help the emperor rule over the Six Palaces in the future.”

This could be said to be the simplest and most brutal edict ever conferred upon the Commonwealth of Ye Lan, The royal family has always stressed that, The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, As the empress, it is her duty to manage the harem, Let the sisters of the palace be at peace, She had to help the emperor find concubines and let the royal family open branches and leaves, but Huyan Mingshuo’s imperial decree required her to assist the emperor, to rule the six palaces, which meant that she could participate in the government of Ye Lan and any decision of the emperor. She was to be respected throughout the six palaces, and she could do whatever she wished.

One could imagine what would happen once this imperial edict was announced to the world.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Fu Yingran. Anyway, this was the result she wanted. Thus, she kowtowed and said, “Long live the emperor’s kindness. Long live the emperor’s kindness.” After saying that, he received the imperial edict with both of his hands and stood up, placing it on the main seat of the main hall of Yi Kun Palace. Only then did he instruct Chun Tao and the others to pack up the luggage they had brought.

As soon as he turned around and saw that Little Yizi was still there, Fu Yingran asked, “Is there anything else?”

“If you reply, Your Majesty will let this servant tell Your Majesty that he will come to dinner with Your Majesty after the morning court. Please wait for Your Majesty for a moment.”

“Alright, this palace knows. You should hurry over as well. At this special time, the Emperor cannot leave anyone by his side. It’s good to serve the Emperor. If there is anything, send someone to inform me.”

“Yes, that’s why you remembered. This servant will retire.” After saying that, Xiao Yizi bowed and left Yi Kun Palace.

As for Fu Yingran’s Dark Wei Yu, he had already stealthily disappeared when he arrived at the gate of the palace. They all knew very well that the emperor had just ascended the throne, and the palace did not want to be as peaceful as it seemed. The various powers were still secretly competing.

Although most of the people in the palace had been replaced with Huyan Mingshuo’s people, these people were only loyal to Huyan Mingshuo, so they might be able to deal with the Empress Fu Yingran. Besides, Huyan Mingshuo’s people were all gathered in Longxiang Palace. The maids and eunuchs in other places were all the same, so they were not sure whose people they belonged to.

Therefore, to Fu Yingran, an additional trump card was equivalent to an additional opportunity. Yu’s identity was originally a hidden guard, and he was not used to exposing himself to others. Although Fu Yingran had made him the commander of the guards in Tianshui Kingdom, he still preferred the identity of the hidden guard, so he hid it early in the morning.

Right now, only Fu Yingran and the four maids she brought were left in the entire Yikun Palace. Although Huyan Mingshuo had also assigned maids and eunuchs to the Yikun Palace, none of them dared to come in without Fu Yingran’s instructions. They were all waiting outside the door.

When Chun Tao and the others were almost done, Fu Yingran let them in. As Huyan Mingshuo had just ascended to the throne, And when the treasury is empty, So he cleaned up more than half of the original people in the palace, He sent some more people to the West Palace, Therefore, there weren’t many people assigned to Yi Kun Palace, There were only five eunuchs, one in charge, four young eunuchs, one female officer, two nanny, two first-class palace maids and four second-class palace maids. The rest were rough messenger maids and servant eunuchs. Of course, those people could not enter the master’s side, so there were only fourteen people who entered at this moment.

After everyone came in, they saw Fu Yingran sitting in the main seat. They all knelt down and saluted, “This servant (servant) greets the Empress. Thousands of years old. Thousands of years old.”

Looking at the people kneeling in front of her, Fu Yingran did not have an unnecessary expression on her face. Back then, as the imperial daughter of Prince Duan’s Mansion, she had served twice as many people as the current empress of this country. Therefore, she was already used to kneeling and saluting in front of everyone.

Fortunately, Fu Yingran was happy and calm. She was uncomfortable with too many people, so she didn’t care about the allocation of manpower. However, when she saw Yu’er kneeling at the front, she couldn’t help but frown. What was Huyan Mingshuo doing? Why did you send this person here? It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with this person. Otherwise, Huyan Mingshuo would not have sent her to Yikun Palace. Thinking about it, he should also have a problem. In any case, he would come over later. Just ask him when the time came.

“Since the Emperor has sent you to our Yi Kun Palace, then you must abide by the rules of our Yi Kun Palace in the future. You can be stupid and lazy when you work under this palace, but you must be loyal. You must not steal, cheat, or betray your word. Otherwise, you must not blame this palace for not thinking of servants and masters.”

“Yes, Your Highness, this servant (servant) will remember.” Everyone trembled as they replied.

I heard that this Empress is not easy to provoke. The backing behind her is very strong. Even Tian Yizhuang has to obey her orders. Not to mention her father is the Regent of the Great Wei Kingdom. He holds the military power of the Iron Cutting Army. The entire Great Wei Kingdom is up to him as the Regent.

The Empress herself had followed the Emperor to the battlefield. I heard that she was also the disciple of Old Duanmu Villa Master. Her kung fu was also unfathomable. Throughout Ye Lan, and even the entire world, who else had a stronger backer than her? Therefore, all of these people were so nervous that they didn’t dare to vent their anger. They were afraid that they would offend the Empress. At that time, their lives would be in danger. They were afraid that they would implicate the entire clan. That would not be good.

Fu Yingran didn’t have time to care what they thought. After she finished speaking, she let them get up and leave. She didn’t even bother to ask for their names. In any case, she wouldn’t have many chances to use them in the future.

On the other side, Lei Yu carried a bloody bag and came to the Golden Royal Palace. First, he bowed to Huyan Mingshuo and said, “Your Majesty, I was ordered to welcome the Empress back to the palace early this morning. Everything was going well, but when I got close to the palace, I met an assassin. Fortunately, I did my duty and repelled the assassin. I escorted the Empress into the palace safely. Now that the Empress is on her way to Yikun Palace, I feel that the situation is serious, so I came to report it to the Emperor first.”

Huyan Mingshuo saw the calm expression on his face. He probably wasn’t very dangerous, but when he saw the blood bag that Lei Yu casually threw aside, he was worried. He frowned and asked, “Hmm, very good, it’s been hard on you. But why did you carry a blood bag up the hall? What’s inside? Can you open it for everyone to see?”

Actually, he probably knew what was inside? Combined with Lei Yu’s words just now, it was probably not very good stuff. He purposely asked this because he wanted to teach the officials a lesson. He had the intention to set an example for them.

Lei Yu looked up at his master and said, She was secretly happy in her heart. Sure enough, it’s not that a family doesn’t enter a house, The master and servant’s thoughts were actually the same. After glancing at the officials, he said unhurriedly, “Reporting to Your Majesty, there were a few heads of assassins inside. At that time, there were many people on the streets. If we catch the assassins alive, I’m afraid that the assassins will jump over the wall and hurt the people. Therefore, I won’t leave any alive to slaughter them all. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me.”

After saying that, he stood up and opened the blood bag to the ground, shaking it. Heads rolled out one by one, and the smell of blood instantly permeated the entire Golden Royal Palace. Then, he knelt on the ground, waiting for Huyan Mingshuo to’punish ‘him.

Looking at the bloody head on the ground, His nose was filled with this disgusting stench, Huyan Mingshuo’s face was expressionless. He was accustomed to such scenes, Lei Yu needless to say, This was his own method, Of course I don’t feel unwell, The generals who had followed Huyan Mingshuo back from the battlefield only watched with unchanged expressions. However, the officials in the hall were all so scared that their faces turned pale. They bold enough to suppress the fear in their hearts. They looked normal. Some of the timid ones were still retching and their legs were beginning to tremble.

Originally, these people had never been to the battlefield. They would only exchange words. Although they would occasionally kill people, it was only the first time they had seen such gentle methods as drugging, strangling, and throwing into the river. Therefore, this was truly shocking to them.
