Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 If a Gentleman Loses Me, I Will Give Up
“I’m fine. There’s no need to call the imperial physician.” Ying Ran hurriedly stopped him from asking for a doctor. Once the Ye Lan Imperial Family found out about the existence of the child, it would be very difficult for her to leave the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

“No problem, why are you vomiting? Are you feeling unwell? It’s better to find a doctor to take a look and rest assured.” Huyan Mingshuo didn’t listen to her and shouted to the door, “Hurry up and go to the palace and get the imperial physician.” Then, she helped Ying Ran sit down and rinsed her mouth when she reached the water.

An hour later, the imperial physician came trembling. He was old and the Crown Prince cried out again. He rushed over and said out of breath, “This old official greets His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.”

“Get up, quickly give the Crown Princess a pulse.” At this moment, Ying Ran was lying in bed. Now that he saw the imperial physician, Huyan Mingshuo instructed him to make way for the imperial physician’s pulse.

The imperial physician sat down and placed a silk handkerchief on Fu Yingran’s wrist. He closed his eyes and carefully pondered. After about a cup of tea, the imperial physician smiled and said, “Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations to the Crown Prince. This is a happy vein. The Crown Prince is already two months pregnant.”

Hearing this, Huyan Mingshuo immediately said, “Alright, reward me heavily. Let’s go down and write a prescription.” Huyan Mingshuo was happy now. Now that he had a child, Ying Ran shouldn’t have left.

“Next, you can rest well. There’s no need to worry about anything. The butler will arrange everything. Ying Ran, my identity is inevitable. I hope you can understand me. Stay here for the sake of the child. You will always be my Crown Princess.” Having a child, Huyan Mingshuo felt relieved and spoke boldly.

“Oh? Is that so? I’m tired now. If you want to rest, you can do whatever you want.” He was relieved now, so he wouldn’t be on guard against her. She had to send him away now and leave the manor quickly. Once he was on guard, leaving would not be easy.

“Alright, you have a good rest. I’m going out to do something and will be back soon.” He was indeed busy, but he came back for dinner and had to leave soon.

Fu Yingran did not reply. He just pulled the blanket and lay down to pretend to be asleep. Huyan Mingshuo left without worries.

As soon as Huyan Mingshuo left the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Ying Ran got up from her bed and took her gold and silver jewelry, silver notes, and the deeds to the house and land that Zhou Qing had given her. She also took all the Great Wei costumes that she had brought from the Great Wei and left the Jingxian Residence.

When they arrived at the gate, the butler saw the maids behind Ying Ran, all carrying big and small bags, and asked, “Crown Princess, what are you doing? Do you want this old servant to prepare a car for you with all these things?”

This Crown Prince’s Mansion is going to take a concubine soon. This Crown Princess is not going to lose her temper and run away from home, is she?

“No need, these are all clothes I brought from the Great Wei Kingdom. In any case, I won’t be able to wear them in the future. This palace will give them all to those refugees. It’s also good to make the most of them.” This is a good excuse.

After hearing this, the butler only said, “The Crown Princess is really a good person.” He watched helplessly as she left. After leaving the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Ying Ran sent a maidservant to the street to find a carriage. He then instructed the maidservant to go back. He left alone, allowing the birds to fly in the sky.

Fu Yingran sat on the carriage and headed straight for Tianyi Manor.

Huyan Mingshuo returned to the Crown Prince’s Mansion at night and anxiously walked into Jingxian Residence to see Fu Yingran. After all, she was pregnant with her own child. However, when he arrived at Jingxian Residence, the entire courtyard was empty and pitch black. When Yingran first arrived at the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Jingxian Residence only left her own people.

At this moment, there was no one left. No matter how big Huyan Mingshuo’s heart was, he knew that something was wrong. He hurriedly pushed open the door and lit up the lights. There was nothing left in the room that Ying Ran had brought with him.

Only a piece of paper was left on the table. Huyan Mingshuo picked it up and saw that it said, “Wenjun has two intentions. He is determined to be with you. He is willing to give up his white head. If you bear me down, I will give up. How can I have both fish and bear paws? My original intentions remain unchanged. I will leave here and take care of each other. Jingxian will stay.”

Huyan Mingshuo panicked. So what she said was true, Huyan Mingshuo remembered that although there weren’t many exchanges between the two of them, Ying Ran’s strength and confidence had already fallen deeply into his heart. He even felt that only Fu Yingran was the most qualified to stand beside him, but because he wanted to take a concubine, she left. So it was such a heartache to lose her.

Huyan Mingshuo hurriedly put away the letter and asked the butler where Fu Yingran was. When the butler heard the Crown Prince’s question, he told the Crown Prince what the Crown Princess had said when she left. The Crown Prince’s expression changed slightly and he instructed the butler to look for the Crown Princess throughout the city.

The housekeeper also knew about the bad things, so he gathered all the people in the manor to look for the Crown Princess. In this way, everyone knew about the Crown Princess’ departure. It was truly a joyous family.

Prince Zuoxian’s Mansion was happy. Fu Yingran was not in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Helian Lanying was the hostess when she entered the mansion. For this reason, Helian Lanying even rewarded everyone in the mansion with ten taels of silver.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince couldn’t be happy anymore. They hadn’t expected that Fu Yingran would have such a big reaction when Helian Lanying entered the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Huyan Mingshuo said anxiously, “Father, Ying Ran’s status in the Great Wei Kingdom is extremely respected. Not only is she the daughter of Duanqin, the eldest princess of the Great Wei Kingdom, she also has the token bestowed by the previous emperor. It can be seen that the king does not kneel as if I were here personally.”

In addition, her second brother was General Fu Tianchen, who was guarding the border of Ye Lan. He held 100,000 troops in his hands, while his adopted brother was Prince Jing, who held 150,000 troops. Needless to say, Prince Duan held 200,000 troops and doted on his daughter.

Once they found out that the Zuoxian Palace had assassinated Fu Yingran many times, not only did Ye Lan not punish the murderer, but Nahlian Lanying had also joined the Crown Prince’s Palace as a concubine. They were afraid that they would have to send troops to Ye Lan.

Besides, Ying Ran is already two months pregnant. Her belly is my Huyan Clan’s direct bloodline. “Since we have already confirmed her, we need to protect her. Only by increasing Ying Ran’s bargaining chip will Father Emperor attach more importance to Ying Ran.

When the Emperor heard that he still had his own grandson, he ordered without hesitation, “Helian Lanying is temporarily suspended from entering the manor. At present, we must find the Crown Princess. There is also news of the blockade. We cannot spread this matter to the Great Wei Kingdom.”

There was nothing he could do. The Crown Prince had just told him about Fu Yingran’s identity in the Great Wei Kingdom and showed him the jade pendant. The Emperor of Wen had bestowed upon her, if I personally came, the daughter of Prince Duan. This time, she had no choice but to marry him. However, she had been robbed and killed many times in Ye Lan, but Ye Lan did not say anything.

Now that he was pregnant and nowhere to be found, the Great Wei Kingdom would definitely not be good anymore. It was necessary to find Fu Yingran as soon as possible. However, when they searched the entire imperial capital, Fu Yingran had no news of him. Helian Lanying’s entrance into the manor had been extended indefinitely.

This extension lasted for more than two months. Fu Yingran could not be found, and she could not enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Thus, she began to send people to look for Fu Yingran everywhere. Only by finding Fu Yingran would she have a chance to enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

On this side, Emperor Yelan was looking for Fu Yingran wantonly, while Fu Yingran was squatting in the potato field in a farm five miles away from the city, digging potatoes. It had been four months, and the book had said that potatoes would grow in four months, so she came to dig today on impulse.

Just as she dug out a potato the size of a fist, Cui’er hurriedly ran over and said, “Young miss, it’s not good. Prince Jing and the General Protector have already set foot on Yelan’s territory with 200,000 soldiers. They said that Yelan should give an explanation.”

“I’m only here now. I need to increase my speed.” Yes, two months ago, Ying Ran sent the news to the Great Wei Kingdom. She said that the Crown Prince and the Emperor of Ye Lan had protected her assassin many times, and had even let the murderer enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion as a concubine. She was worried that her life would be threatened, so she left the Crown Prince’s Mansion and asked her father to bring Prince Duan to seek justice for her.

“Eldest Miss, what should we do? Now that all the shops in the imperial capital are open, there are branches all over the country. All the big cities in Ye Lan have our business, and everything in the country is under our control.”

Cui Er was proud to say this. It had always been someone else who controlled their lives. Now, it was a good feeling for them to be in control of other people’s lives and deaths.
