Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Walk Out of Prince Jing’s Mansion
‘”Your Highness, I really like you. How can you treat me like this?” “One day husband and wife will be grateful for a hundred days. Even though we are just one day husband and wife, we still have a husband and wife. Your Highness, you are truly ruthless.” Actually, Sun Shuyuan could already imagine that she would not have a good result, but this result was still hard for her to accept. She was a cheap concubine. In other words, she, Sun Shuyuan, would have to bow when she saw Fu Yingran in the future.

‘”Mrs. Sun, accept it. If it weren’t for the fact that you and I were husband and wife, you wouldn’t be able to survive just because you’ve done this to me twice. It’s only because we were husband and wife that I left you alive. You know what you did to Ying Ran. Go apologize to her yourself, or else your life would be very sad in the future.”

It seemed that Prince Jing wasn’t too cold-hearted. There was still a lot of emotion left. He had already reached this point, so he decided to let Sun Shuyuan off the hook.

“I don’t accept. I’m Princess Jing. I don’t accept, I don’t accept.” Sun Shuyuan was stimulated and repeated this sentence. Prince Jing glanced at Sun Shuyuan and sighed. He walked out of the side hall and went into the room.

The next day, Ying Ran got up early and packed everything up. She instructed Jin’er and Cui’er to pack their things and prepare to move to the imperial daughter’s mansion. Ying Ran looked around and asked curiously, “Have you seen Yan’er today? I haven’t seen her since last night.” Ying Ran prayed in her heart. Don’t be like what she thought. This Yan’er must not be a spy. Otherwise, once last night’s incident was exposed, Imperial Concubine Shu and the others would be in trouble.

Jin’er looked around and replied, “This servant hasn’t seen Yan’er since last night. Perhaps she was frightened by the maidservant’s caning last night.”

Hearing Jin’er’s words, Ying Ran did not intend to ask anymore, so he said, “Forget it. Ask Steward Wang later.” Prince Jing’s Mansion has been under martial law since last night. I believe that Yan’er should still be in Prince Jing’s Mansion.

At this time, a maidservant came to Luo Hua Pavilion and said, “Report to Consort Ping, Your Highness invites you to the main hall for dinner.”

“Alright, this imperial daughter knows. She will be there immediately.” With that, Ying Ran instructed Jin Er Cui’er to carry her luggage and leave Luo Hua Pavilion. She originally did not intend to stay in Luo Hua Pavilion for long, and she did not bring much with her, so the two maids were finished carrying it on their backs.

When the master and servant arrived at the main hall, they saw Prince Jing sitting alone. Ying Ran was too lazy to talk to him. She walked over and sat across from Prince Jing. She asked, “What do you think of the Yan’er from your mansion who didn’t return last night? If the news leaked out, our current situation would be very dangerous.”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll send someone to investigate.” Prince Jing also knew that this maidservant was probably not simple. He probably didn’t even know how many spies he had in Prince Jing’s Mansion.

“Your Highness, Concubine Ping, Concubine Sun, Concubine Ye and Concubine Chen are here.” Although the three of them weren’t concubines, the servants had always called the other two concubines, and now they also called Sun Shuyuan concubines.

Not long after, three people came in from outside the door. The other two bowed to Prince Jing and Ying Ran and said, “Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Concubine Ping.” However, Sun Shuyuan stood there motionlessly, staring at Fu Yingran in a daze, her eyes filled with hatred that could not be concealed.

Prince Jing pretended not to see anything and said, “Get up.” It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stand up for Fu Yingran. He was just waiting for Fu Yingran to ask him to stand up for her.

However, Fu Yingran was too lazy to look at them. She was afraid that she would suffer from indigestion. She just immersed herself in a few mouthfuls of food and wiped her mouth. She said to Prince Jing, “Senior Brother, my imperial daughter’s mansion has been tidied up. I plan to move back in today, so I won’t disturb you.”

Then, she glanced at Sun Shuyuan, who was silently standing at the side, and said, He said to King Jing, “Senior Brother, you can take care of yourself. In any case, my Duanwang Palace has been plucked clean. I have also reminded you of the things that need to be reminded. You already know what you need to know. What you need to do next is your own business. Right now, I am sure that Duanwang Palace will not support anyone other than the Great Wei Emperor.”

Ying Ran stood up and left, only to hear Prince Jing say, “Junior Sister really wants to leave, are you really not willing to marry me?”

Ying Ran did not answer him again. He had already said what he should have said last night. Since it was destined to be impossible, he had to make a thorough decision. Otherwise, it would not be good for anyone.

Prince Jing watched Ying Ran leave silently. His heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that he could no longer catch this little junior sister, so he watched her leave quietly as she grew farther and farther away.

After leaving Prince Jing’s mansion, the master and servant brought their luggage back to the imperial daughter’s mansion and went straight to Prince Duan’s mansion. As soon as they entered Orchid Garden, Nanny Yang was already waiting at the door. When she saw the three of them return, she quickly welcomed them. She pulled Fu Yingran to carefully examine them and said, “It’s good to be back. It’s good to be back.”

“Nanny, I’m fine. I’m back. I’m here to take you with me.” Ying Ran’s heart warmed up. This was her mother’s concern, her most selfless love.

“Thank you, Imperial Daughter. I still remember this old servant. As long as the Imperial Daughter is fine, this old servant will be the same wherever I go.” Nanny Yang’s eyes were filled with tears. This was a child that she had loved since childhood. Now that she said that she wanted to take her to enjoy her happiness, even if it was just a single sentence, it could still move her endlessly. After all, she was only a slave.

“No matter where Ying Ran is, I will naturally take you with me. You can follow Jin’er and pack up the things we usually use. Find a car and drag them to the imperial daughter’s mansion. I still need to go to the palace with my brothers. Just let Cui’er follow me.” She must ask the emperor to dissolve her engagement with Prince Jing today, otherwise she will take out the jade pendant bestowed by the emperor’s uncle and force him to do so.

Ying Ran instructed Nanny Yang and the others to move their belongings. She brought Cui’er to see her two brothers so that they could enter the palace together. She had to warn the Emperor and Empress Dowager about what happened last night. Otherwise, if the Sun Clan were to jump over the wall and use Soul Devouring Gu on the Emperor, then it would be bad. The Emperor was the king of a country, and it concerned with the survival of the entire Great Wei Kingdom.

Fu Tianyang and Fu Tianchen were already waiting for her in the main hall. As soon as they saw Fu Yingran enter, the two of them stood up to welcome her. “Let’s go, let’s go into the palace together. Father and mother are not here, so you don’t have to pay any respect this time. In any case, you shouldn’t really get married. Hurry up and meet the Empress Dowager.” Fu Tianchen said half jokingly and half seriously.

“Yes, Second Brother is right. It’s important that we go to the palace. Oh, right, Second Brother, Little Sister, I plan to stay in the imperial daughter’s mansion today. Remember to bring a gift over. Little Sister will treat you tonight.” A stroke is a stroke.

Fu Tianchen said to Fu Tianyang as if he didn’t hear him, “Big brother, let’s go.” As he said that, he pulled Fu Tianyang forward, and Ying Ran felt as if he had been abandoned. A person followed behind.

Outside Prince Duan’s mansion, two men rode horses, but Fu Yingran was stuffed into the carriage by her second brother and pulled away. After entering the palace, the siblings went straight to Shoukang Palace. At this time, it was almost time for lunch. The Empress Dowager had already told Fu Tianchen that the Emperor was eating in Shoukang Palace every day.

When they arrived at the entrance of Shoukang Palace, Cui’er stayed outside and waited. The siblings directly entered Shoukang Palace. The Emperor was also there, eating with the Empress Dowager. The three of them quickly walked forward and saluted, “Join the Emperor and greet the Empress Dowager.”

“Hurry up, sit down and eat. We’ll talk about it later if you need anything.” The Empress Dowager hurriedly asked Nanny Yu to add the bowls and chopsticks. The rules in the palace were very good, and adding a few people would be enough to eat.

Thus, the few of them silently ate their meals. There was nothing to say at the table. After the palace maids had finished eating, the crowd began to speak. The Empress Dowager glanced around and Nanny Yu immediately understood. She said to all the palace maids and eunuchs, “Everyone, go down. No one is allowed to come in without my orders.” As she spoke, she retreated as well.

After Ying Ran saw everyone leave, He said anxiously, ‘”Reporting to Auntie Huang, something happened in Prince Jing’s Mansion yesterday. Prince Jing fainted from the Soul Devouring Gu. It was Sun Shuyuan who planted the Gu. Ying Ran felt that she should quickly tell Auntie Huang about this. She and Sun Shuyuan are siblings. If she also planted the Soul Devouring Gu on the Emperor, then the world would be in chaos.”

Ying Ran told him what he thought in his heart, and then told him what happened in Prince Jing’s Mansion yesterday.

Then, the two brothers said seriously, “Auntie Huang, that Soul Devouring Gu is very strange. It can’t be prevented. We must deal with it carefully. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
