Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Kill Decisively
Fu Yingran watched without saying a word. She wanted to let her Sun Shuyuan see for herself if she dared to do anything to her.

Not long after, the servants and maids of Prince Jing’s mansion arrived in the courtyard. Butler Wang and two nanny also brought Sun Shuyuan’s personal maids over. At this time, there was a long stool in the middle of the courtyard, and two Kong Wu powerful guards were standing on both sides.

Seeing that Ying Ran was also here, Steward Wang hurriedly walked over and said, “Imperial Concubine Ping, everyone is here. Do you think we should start now?”

“Yes, let’s begin.” Cui Er had two chairs brought over. Ying Ran and Butler Wang sat one behind the other. Butler Wang said to the two guards, “Let’s begin.”

The two guards answered, “Yes.” After that, they tied a maidservant girl to a bench. At this time, Fu Yingran said to Sun Shuyuan’s two personal maids, “Because they don’t know much, I’m not interested, so I can only send them on their way. Whether or not you can survive depends on whether or not you know enough, and whether or not you can survive.”

Then, he looked at the maidservant tied to the bench and said to the guard, “Let’s begin. Let Imperial Concubine see if I dare to do anything to her.”

“Yes,” the guard answered. Then, he swung the board and rained down on the maidservant’s waist. The maidservant’s mournful shriek pierced Sun Shuyuan fiercely. So she shouted at Fu Yingran like crazy, “Fu Yingran, I am the main imperial concubine and I am the head wife of the Jing Palace. Why did you kill my people?”

Although Sun Shuyuan was sinister, she had never seen a bloody scene of fighting and killing. Sun Zuoxiang originally only wanted to nurture his daughter as a tool to gain power, and also taught her some methods of fighting in the backyard. Therefore, such a bloody scene was still a good deterrent to her.

Hearing Sun Shuyuan’s shout, Fu Yingran ignored it and continued to sit there without saying a word.

Not long after, the little maidservant lost her breath. Then, another little maidservant tied her up. This time, Ying Ran said something that made Sun Shuyuan collapse.

She said, “There is no hurry. One by one, come until someone is willing to tell me a satisfactory answer. If the little maidservant is all dead or no one says anything, then it is the eldest maidservant’s turn. If the eldest maidservant is all dead and no one says anything, then I can only ask Imperial Concubine to experience it for herself.”

“Actually, I don’t want to know much. As long as someone can tell me what happened to Prince Jing and how to wake him up, I can guarantee that I won’t kill her. If Princess Jing doesn’t know in the end, then I can only let your nine families be buried with Prince Jing. I will keep my word.”

Fu Yingran also kindly told Sun Shuyuan, “Oh, right, you only know that this imperial daughter and Prince Jing are brother and sister. Do you know who my master is?” You probably don’t know that my master is Duanmu Yuan, the Villa Master of the Number One Villa under the Heavens. “My Senior Brother Duanmu Jing, also known as Prince Jing, is the Young Manor Master of the Heavenly Villa. Furthermore, I can tell you that the Duanmu Clan does not recognize this marriage between your Sun Clan.”

This time, Sun Shuyuan panicked and staggered to the ground. They only knew how to plot against Prince Jing and did not inquire about Prince Jing’s birth. They only thought that he was just the son of an ordinary human family and that he had only managed to become a king through hard work in the army. However, they did not expect his status to be so honorable.

No wonder even Prince Jing’s parents didn’t show up for the wedding. The Sun Family originally thought that Prince Jing had climbed up to her Sun Family. His parents were too embarrassed to accept her gift, so they refused to attend. They didn’t expect that the Duanmu Family wouldn’t admit this marriage because they didn’t like the Sun Family at all. Then what was she now?

All she wanted to do now was tell her father and sister the news, Let them think of a way for themselves, but she raised her head and looked around. The maids she brought over were all here, and her heart was desolate. She also knew that if she did not let Prince Jing wake up, she would probably not be able to be kind today. The Number One Manor in the world was something that even the royal families of various countries feared, not to mention her little Sun Shuyuan.

However, she was unwilling to let her say it like this. Just as she was hesitating, the four maids she had brought were already out of breath. They were already tied to the bench by her personal maids. The maidservant shouted at Ying Ran in fear, “I say, Concubine Ping, I will say anything.”

“Shut up, you slut, you slut who sells for glory.” Sun Shuyuan shouted. She knew that once this matter came out from other people’s mouths, she would really be doomed. This maid had always been by her side since childhood. When she was dealing with Fu Yingran, she had been there. She had even ordered her to take the Gu worm that had consumed Fu Yingran and burn it. Therefore, she was the one who knew everything about Sun Shuyuan.

‘”Princess, Pearl doesn’t want to die. Although you said that Yu’er and I are your maids, and will make us your concubines in the future, you can’t protect yourself now. This servant only wants to live.”

Normally, the maidservant brought here as a maid was a concubine room prepared for the male master. When the female master was inconvenient, she would serve the male master. As a maidservant, she could only be brought here as a maidservant. Normally, she would not even be able to get close to the male master.

When Ying Ran saw that someone was willing to say anything, he waved his small hand and said, “Someone, bring Pearl down and interrogate her properly. This princess will keep her promise and let her live. As for Princess Jing, lock her up in the side courtyard first and send people to guard her in turns. When Prince Jing wakes up, let him handle it himself. Remember, no one can get close to her, or else he will bear the consequences.”

“Yes, Imperial Concubine Ping.” The guard escorted Sun Shuyuan to the side courtyard, and the two nanny brought Pearl down to inquire. Suddenly, the servant reported, “Imperial Concubine Ping, Steward Wang, Crown Prince Duan, and General Guardian are here.”

“Please come in!” Ying Ran felt relieved when he heard that the two brothers had come. He looked at Steward Wang and went out to welcome them.

Not far from the Autumn Moon Pavilion, Fu Tianyang and Fu Tianchen walked in. “Sister, how could it be? How could Prince Jing faint for no reason?”

Ying Ran told her two brothers about what happened just now. She also told them that Sun Shuyuan did something to her when she fainted in Duanwang Mansion. “Big brother, second brother, little sister thinks that Sun Shuyuan is very strange. She can make people unconscious. So, I want to ask big brother to help me find out who she has been in contact with before.”

“Alright, we’ll send someone to investigate.” Fu Tianchen snapped his fingers and a person floated in the air. Fu Tianchen instructed him, “Go and find out who Sun Shuyuan came into contact with, and also find out the origin and plot of the Sun Clan.” Just as Fu Tianyang finished speaking, that person floated away again.

Ying Ran’s eyes went straight, “Second brother, you are so powerful. You are my idol. From today onwards, let me worship you every day.” “Second brother, for the sake of my admiration for you, give me someone who knows how to float,” Fu Tianchen said as he hung his entire body on Fu Tianchen.

The corner of Steward Wang’s mouth twitched. Was this still the decisive Princess Jingxian? The woman is really changeable.

Fu Tianyang and his two brothers were also speechless. Father, mother, can you bring this thing back to the furnace and remake it? Such a miser was too embarrassing.

In the end, Fu Tianchen was ruthless. He really sent a hidden guard to Fu Yingran. Fu Tianchen snapped his fingers again and another person floated over. He said to that person, “Yu, you can follow the princess in the future. Protect her safety. She is too troublesome.” After saying that, she looked at Fu Yingran with disgust. At this moment, she was laughing happily.

Then he suddenly remembered that he had entered the palace to report his work today. The Empress Dowager told him, so she said to Fu Yingran, “Little sister, Second Brother went to see the Emperor and Empress Dowager today. The Empress Dowager was still on guard against me, but she told me a lot. The Empress Dowager asked me to tell you that the Emperor seems to be poisoned. She is letting Imperial Concubine Shu go to the palace to meet her. She has something to say to you.” Fu Tianchen entered the capital yesterday. According to the rules, he was going to report to the palace and pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

“Yes, I know. They really won’t let anyone off.” Speaking of business, Ying Ran’s expression became serious. “Butler Wang, we can’t alarm the snakes yet. We must not let Sun Shuyuan contact the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion.”

“Yes, Imperial Daughter, this servant will arrange it now.” Butler Wang was just about to leave, The nanny who had just gone to interrogate Pearl came back and reported, “Consort Ping, housekeeper Wang, Pearl said that Consort Ping has a Soul Devouring Gu in her hand … The prince was killed by Consort Ping and his soul has been sucked out, but as long as he kills the Gu that sucks his prince’s soul, he will wake up after consuming that drop of blood.” She first told everyone about the power of the Soul Devouring Gu, and then she told everyone about the method to remove the Soul Devouring Gu.

Hearing that granny’s words, everyone’s hair stood on end. This Soul Devouring Gu was too sinister. It could cause a person’s soul to be completely lost for no reason. This was truly unavoidable.
