Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Bei Yuan Caught Fire

Fu Yingran was better, Although an imperial edict from the Ming Emperor had pushed her to the position everyone feared, Fortunately, Prince Duan and his wife were eager to love their daughter. They had sent her to the Heaven’s Pavilion for ten years of leisure. However, even so, she had been assassinated continuously since childhood. When she grew up, she was even suspected by the Emperor. She had been in a dilemma many times. In the end, she was still the Eldest Princess and was close to another country.

It could be said that these so-called royals, From birth, While enjoying the noble life of the Golden Paragon, However, they had lost the minimum of freedom and all sorts of calculations that they had to face. Therefore, in their hearts, they all wanted to get rid of the shackles that were bothering them. Even if they were as powerful as Huyan Mingshuo and Fu Yingran, they still yearned for that kind of unfettered life in their hearts. Therefore, Huyan Haze was a tragedy.

Seeing Fu Yingran say this, Huyan Mingshuo chuckled, “I only said that you will protect your precious son and enslave my husband blindly. I don’t want you to plot against that brat yourself, so he deserves to be unlucky. However, we still have to wait for this matter. With his tiny body, I’m afraid he won’t even be able to hold up his dragon robe.”

“Let’s be realistic. Let’s settle the matter before us first. As you said, Ye Lan is about to enter winter. It’s best for us to settle all these bad things before the Snow Wilderness arrives. Otherwise, I’m afraid we’ll be facing an enemy on our bellies. Those stubborn people won’t care about the lives of the ordinary people.”

“That’s right, no matter when, the most innocent people are the people. Since you’re back now, let’s discuss the next plan. Today, Orchid was already officially handing over the royal merchants’ list. As long as we clean up this group of people, the imperial capital will be almost clean. The rest are just small characters, so there’s no need to worry.

What I’m most worried about right now is Father of the Emperor, After all, he has been the emperor for all these years, and has quite a few powers in his hands. At present, the entire country of Ye Lan knows that Father of the Emperor is against you. I’m afraid that someone with the heart will invite him out to oppose us again. If it’s easy for others to say, it’s not too much to deal with him. But he is your biological father after all. If he is too light, it will cause people to criticize him. ”

“This is also my concern, but don’t worry. If I have to choose between the people of the world and Father, then I would rather bear the blame for being unfilial than make the capital of Ye Lan clear. Leave these matters to my husband. At that time, I will definitely leave Haoze with a bright future.”

“Of course I believe in you, but you shouldn’t make things too difficult for yourself. No matter how long we plan, there will always be a two-pronged plan.” Even though their relationship had been sparse since childhood, father and son were still father and son. There was no denying that blood was thicker than water. If Huyan Mingshuo really reached that stage, he would probably have to endure a lot of torment in his heart.

The couple’s voices gradually fell silent in the room, but the hearts of the people who had been listening from the beginning to the end changed several times.

Empress Dowager Xiao had already returned to her palace, but when she thought of Huyan Mingshuo’s sudden appearance in the court, what about Haoze, who was far away in Tianshui? That was her own grandson, so he hurried to Yikun Palace in a panic.

When he arrived at Yi Kun Palace, he saw the palace door tightly shut. Thus, she instructed the palace maids and eunuchs beside her to wait outside. She walked in alone. Just as she was about to push the door open, she heard Huyan Mingshuo’s lifeless words. Empress Dowager Xiao felt her heart was blocked.

Thinking back to how difficult it had been for the mother and son to walk over these years, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn’t help but shed tears. In the end, she didn’t push open the door and went to the north courtyard alone.

Because he didn ‘t sleep last night, Fu Yingran leaned against Huyan Mingshuo’s embrace and fell asleep. Huyan Mingshuo saw this, He shook his head and chuckled. He gently carried her onto the bed and settled her down. He sat down in a chair beside him. He had to think about what to do next, After being disrupted by Fu Yingran, all of his plans had to be rearranged. However, as long as they were handled well, the capital would soon be clean. This was indeed a lot of time ahead of his original plan. In this way, he should be able to deal with all of this before winter arrived. At that time, they would be able to free up their hands to deal with the disaster.

Probably too tired, Huyan Mingshuo thought about how he had actually fallen asleep on the chair. Suddenly, a burst of inexplicable heartache woke him up in an instant. Then he heard Little Yizi push open the door anxiously and come in. He didn’t care about anything else, He walked directly to Huyan Mingshuo and knelt down. ‘”Reporting to Your Majesty, this is bad. The Northern Garden has gone for a walk. The Empress Dowager went to see Father of the Emperor just now. I don’t know what they said. Not long after, the Empress Dowager’s bedroom hall went for a walk. The Empress Dowager is still inside, but the door is locked. The servants can’t rush in. Your Majesty, please go and take a look.”

Before Xiao Yizi could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind sweeping past his eyes. He raised his head and saw that there was no trace of Huyan Mingshuo on the chair. Even Fu Yingran, who had been sleeping soundly in bed, had disappeared. Xiao Yizi quickly got up from the ground and stumbled towards the north courtyard.

When Huyan Mingshuo arrived at the north courtyard, the entire dormitory was surrounded by a fire. The door of the dormitory was tightly shut, and a few eunuchs were trying to knock on the door. Without saying a word, Huyan Mingshuo jumped onto the roof of the dormitory and entered the dormitory from top to bottom.

Empress Dowager Xiao and Father of the Emperor both fell to the ground. Father of the Emperor’s head was facing the gate and his hands were still climbing out. Empress Dowager Xiao’s hands were tightly grabbing his feet. It was obvious that she did not want him to go out.

Seeing this scene in front of him, what else did he not understand? Mother must not have wanted to embarrass himself to make such a decision, Huyan Mingshuo’s entire body collapsed. Tears unconsciously rushed out of his eyes. He shouted, “Mother.” Then, he bent down to pick up Empress Dowager Xiao and rushed out from the roof. Seeing that Fu Yingran was at the side, he called Empress Dowager Xiao to Fu Yingran and turned to save Father of the Emperor. However, the moment he turned around, the entire roof of the dormitory collapsed and the fire instantly annihilated it. It seemed that even the heavens wouldn’t give Father of the Emperor a chance.

Huyan Mingshuo still didn’t give up and wanted to rush in. At this moment, a soft hand grabbed him and said, “Mingshuo, the will of heaven is like this. In this situation, even if you rescue Father of the Emperor now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to recover. Shall we save Mother first?”

It wasn’t that Fu Yingran was vicious and wanted to stop her son from saving Lao Tzu, but that such an outcome was good for everyone. If there was someone destined to bear the blame, then let her bear it. Anyway, she wasn’t from Ye Lan and was destined to be excluded from Ye Lan from the very beginning. So what difference did it make if there was one less one? As long as her husband’s reputation was not damaged, her son could grow up healthily, and they were willing to protect her, she would still be the lofty queen of Ye Lan.

How could Huyan Mingshuo not know that this was the best outcome? It was just that the trace of bloodline affection in his body made him unable to let go. No matter what, it was his biological father. How could he bear to watch him turn into ashes and remain indifferent? However, when he lowered his head and saw Mother lying in Fu Yingran’s arms on the verge of death, all of his unwillingness instantly vanished.

Since this was what Mother wanted, then let’s leave it to fate. He took over Empress Dowager Xiao in Fu Yingran’s arms and returned to the Eastern Palace Empress Dowager’s dormitory. He summoned the servants in the palace and instructed them to serve him well. Then, he turned around and went to the Northern Garden. No matter what, he, as his son, would have to deal with the following matters personally.

Just as he left, Fu Ying followed behind the Empress Dowager’s bedroom. Seeing him turn around and leave, Fu Yingran did not stop him. He only instructed people to hurry up and call the imperial physician. His own people were personally taking care of Empress Dowager Xiao’s changing clothes and washing. She did not give up her seat until a palace maid brought the imperial physician in.

The person who came was the oldest imperial physician in the palace of Ye Lan, and also the old man who had been taking care of the Empress Dowager. When the old imperial physician saw Fu Yingran was about to kneel and salute, Fu Yingran supported him and brought him to Empress Dowager Xiao’s bed, saying, “Old imperial physician, please hurry up and show Mother how she is. Is there anything wrong with her?”

Seeing that the situation was urgent, the old granny doctor did not hold back. She immediately checked Empress Dowager Xiao’s pulse and Huyan Mingshuo decided to rescue her in time. Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiao was only choked by the smoke and fainted. Her body was fine.

After the old woman checked her pulse, she turned around to deal with Ying Ran and bowed, “Back to the Empress, the Empress Dowager is blessed. Adding on the timely rescue, her body is fine. As long as she rests for a while, she will be fine. However, because she choked on the smoke, she will probably hurt her throat. When this old man prescribes some medicine to the Empress Dowager, she will be fine.”

After thanking the old doctor, Fu Yingran felt relieved that Empress Dowager Xiao was fine. After thanking the old doctor, Fu Yingran ordered Xiao to follow him to grab the medicine and personally bring it over. She didn’t dare to be careless at this time.

Regarding Empress Dowager Xiao’s actions, Fu Yingran was also extremely shocked. Even now, her heart was still trembling. She didn’t dare to imagine, If something really happened to Empress Dowager Xiao, Will Huyan Mingshuo directly lift up the Ye Lan Imperial Palace? Everyone knew that Empress Dowager Xiao was a sacred existence in Huyan Mingshuo’s heart. However, she also believed that Empress Dowager Xiao would not make such a choice for no reason. Something must have stimulated her to make such an extreme choice.

Thus, she called Empress Dowager Xiao’s personal palace maid to ask, “You have always been with the Empress Dowager. Where did the Empress Dowager go before she went to the Northern Garden? What happened? Who did she see during her stay? Tell me everything.”

Hearing the Empress’ question, A few palace maids trembled as they knelt down. One of the bold palace maids stammered, “Qi … report to the Empress. The Empress Dowager originally planned to return to the palace after the morning, but … but she suddenly remembered that she had not asked the Emperor about His Highness the Crown Prince, so she turned around and went to Yi Kun Palace.”

However, when they arrived at Yi Kun Palace, the gate of Yi Kun Palace was tightly closed. The Empress Dowager ordered her servants to wait outside. She went in alone. When the servants saw the Empress Dowager standing outside the window for a moment, their faces turned gloomy and they went to the north courtyard. Afraid of an accident, the servants followed the Empress Dowager to the north courtyard.

After arriving at Beiyuan, the Empress Dowager still left servant outside the courtyard. She went in alone to see Father of the Emperor. At first, she could hear the sounds of quarrels coming from inside. Soon after, Father of the Emperor’s bedroom caught fire. It was servant who did not serve the Empress Dowager well. Please punish the Empress Dowager. “
