Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Dispel the Soul Devouring Gu
Ying Ran thought that the green ball should be a Gu worm that had eaten its soul. Thus, he ordered someone to carry a bowl filled with Gu worms and everyone went to Prince Jing’s bedside together.

“Big brother, where do you think this Soul Devouring Gu came from? How did it appear in the Great Wei Kingdom?” Prince Duan was not a general like Fu Tianchen. Fu Tianyang was gentle and read a lot of books. He knew some strange things.

“Gu insects are generally the products of the Southern Region, but the Northern Magi are also very mysterious. They also have the ability to cause people to suddenly die. Right now, Big Brother is not sure where this Soul Devouring Gu came from.” Although Fu Tianyang had read a lot of books, the records in the books were very general, so he didn’t dare to be certain.

“Forget it, let’s first wake Senior Brother up. As for the Soul Devouring Gu, after Second Brother investigates, we’ll know where Sun Shuyuan got it.” Ying Ran carried the bowl and walked towards Prince Jing. Butler Wang took the bowl and broke the green ball with his knife. The green ball shrank, but the drop of fresh blood at the top became more and more red. Then he picked off the skin and the blood flowed out. Butler Wang fed the bowl to Prince Jing’s mouth and let him take it.

After about a cup of tea, Prince Jing slowly woke up and his gaze gradually became clear. He looked at everyone and asked, “What’s wrong with me? Where’s Sun Shuyuan?” Prince Jing would rarely call himself ‘This King’ when facing his own people.

“Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has been ordered to be taken care of by the imperial daughter. She said that she will deal with it herself when you wake up. Thanks to the imperial daughter this time, otherwise you won’t wake up” Steward Wang told King Jing what happened tonight.

At this time, it was already dawn. Everyone had not slept all night. Even the Fu brothers had rushed over in the middle of the night. Now that they saw Prince Jing wake up, they told him about the possibility of the Emperor being poisoned and told him to guard the Sun Family.

“General Fu, are you saying that the Emperor is also poisoned? Is it possible that Imperial Concubine Shu poisoned him?” This time, he was truly shocked. Sun Shuyuan could knock him unconscious at any time. Imperial Concubine Shu had poisoned the Emperor again. How big of a conspiracy was this?

“The Empress Dowager said so. Let me tell you, don’t ever be schemed again. You have to learn to be satisfied. Don’t think about things that you shouldn’t think about. Don’t touch people that you shouldn’t touch. Otherwise, the gains won’t be worth the losses.” Fu Tianchen conveyed the Empress Dowager’s original words to Prince Jing and also told him about the Sun Clan’s plot. It was a threat and a warning.

‘”I know. I also regret it now. If it weren’t for the Sun Family, I wouldn’t have fallen into such a big conspiracy. If it weren’t for Sun Shuyuan, my junior sister wouldn’t be so unfamiliar with me. If I hadn’t insisted on marrying Sun Shuyuan, I wouldn’t have betrayed my family.” Prince Jing had passed out twice for no reason, and he didn’t understand anything else.

“Since Senior Brother is awake, I’ll leave this matter to you. We’ll go rest first. Sun Shuyuan, I’ll lock her up for you. If your heart hurts, you can go and see for yourself. But you can’t let her go out now, nor can you let her touch anyone.”

Ying Ran thought of the traces on Sun Shuyuan’s body. The fool also knew that Sun Shuyuan had already gotten married to Prince Jing, and it was quite intense. Therefore, she was worried that Prince Jing would not bear it, so she warned him to avoid letting Sun Shuyuan send the news out.

“Junior Sister, don’t worry. In the future, you will be the only princess in the Jing Palace. Even if I take a concubine in the future, I will not shake your status.” In Prince Jing’s opinion, as long as Fu Yingran had the highest position, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

“Senior Brother doesn’t seem to be awake yet. Big Brother, Second Brother, let’s go. He slept all night, but we didn’t sleep all night.” Ying Ran was too lazy to tell him that she pulled her brother out of the Autumn Moon Pavilion. The Fu brothers took their leave and went back to Prince Duan’s Mansion, while Fu Yingran went back to Luo Hua Pavilion to sleep.

This Fu Yingran was a reincarnation of the Sleepy God. He slept until it was dark before he woke up. He ate something, sat for a while, and planned to go to sleep again.

At this moment, King Jing pushed open the door and came in, asking, “Junior Sister, are you awake? Can you talk to me?” King Jing felt that there were some things he needed to say clearly in front of his face. It was not a good idea to hold it in like this.

“Alright, senior apprentice-brother, if you have anything to say, please say it.” Ying Ran looked up at him with a calm expression.

“Junior sister, You and I are married, “I’m already a husband and wife. Senior Brother has always liked you. You were wronged because you were confused for a moment. Senior Brother promised you that from now on, there will no longer be a princess in Prince Jing’s Manor. Today, I have already handed over a handover to the Emperor and demoted Sun Shuyuan to a cheap concubine. The Emperor has already agreed. It’s just that you haven’t issued a decree yet. Junior Sister, please don’t mess with me anymore!”

Concubine, divided into your concubine, good concubine, base concubine, side room for your concubine, concubine mother for good concubine, open room for base concubine.

“Senior Brother, have you ever heard of this? If you are willing to be one-sided, you will never abandon your white head. Since Senior Brother already has someone else, you can only be my Senior Brother in this life. Senior Brother, you should know that no matter who becomes my County Horse in the future, he cannot take a concubine.” There were some things that needed to be said clearly, and they could no longer be so unclear and unclear.

“Since junior sister has received the imperial edict, Jing Wang entered my Jing Palace again. That is my wife. We are not ordinary people. We are destined to not live like ordinary people. Standing in my current position, there is no way there is only one wife. Junior Sister, why bother? I can only promise you now that you will be my only wife, but taking a concubine may not be avoidable. “Jing Wang’s face was filled with embarrassment.

“Senior Brother, the situation forced me to accept the imperial edict. When I entered Prince Jing’s mansion, I did not wear a wedding dress, nor did I sit in a sedan chair, nor did I worship you. Therefore, I cannot be considered your wife. As for your three wives and four concubines, I do not wish to say anything further. I will naturally ask the Emperor to revoke the edict and dissolve the engagement between us.” Apart from Sun Shuyuan, King Jing also had two servants who had been waiting on him since childhood.

Ying Ran felt that she had to dissolve the engagement as soon as possible. Fortunately, tomorrow was the day she returned to the sect. In any case, her father and mother were not in the capital. When the time came, she would call her eldest brother and second brother into the palace together and settle this matter first.

Hearing Ying Ran’s words, Prince Jing looked at her resolute expression and helplessly said, “Junior Sister, please don’t do this. You should know that senior brother has always liked you.”

Ying Ran looked at him indifferently and said, “If you let me down, I will stop. Senior Brother, I am no longer the junior sister you knew before. The former Fu Ying Ran has already died in the garden of Prince Duan’s Mansion.” Ying Ran told the truth. As for whether he believed it or not, it was not something she could control.

Prince Jing sighed and said, “Well, you’re in a bad mood today, so I won’t disturb you. You should rest early.” Prince Jing originally wanted to make up for Fu Yingran’s wedding night, but judging from Fu Yingran’s appearance, he probably wouldn’t agree.

“Mm, Senior Brother, please rest early. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.” Ying Ran was too lazy to say anything to him, as long as she insisted on her own principles.

“Alright, then I’ll leave first.” Prince Jing turned around and left Luo Hua Pavilion. However, he did not know where he was going. Because this Luo Hua Pavilion was his bedchamber, he decided to meet Sun Shuyuan and tell her that the Emperor had agreed to demote her to a cheap concubine.

Sigh … I can only say that Prince Jing is quite pitiful. He can’t even enter his own bedroom hall, so he went to the side courtyard sickly. The lights inside are still on, and Sun Shuyuan should still be awake. Prince Jing pushed the door open and looked at her dressed as a maid. She was in a sorry state. She was probably locked up before she had time to freshen up.

At the neck, At his wrist, he could still see the traces he had left yesterday. He couldn’t help but feel unbearable in his heart. After all, the husband and wife were a hundred nights grateful. However, as long as they thought about how they had fainted twice, they would not be able to endure this. He, Duanmu Jing, was originally a cold-hearted man. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Sun Shuyuan’s marriage just because of the temptation of the Sun Clan. He didn’t care about Fu Yingran’s thoughts. It seemed like he still didn’t have any love for her.

At this moment, Prince Jing coldly said, “Madam Sun, today this prince has invited the emperor to demote you to a lowly concubine. The emperor has also agreed. Tomorrow, all of you should go to the main hall to pay your respects to the matriarch.”

Prince Jing still didn’t take Ying Ran’s words at ease. He just thought that it was his daughter’s little temper. It would be better in a few days. He still thought that Ying Ran was his wife
