Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 63

Chapter 63 The Imperial Capital Was in Chaos
This was to tell her that the grand imperial physician and the others dared to act first and then act. Not to mention you, a maidservant, even Concubine Ni and the others dared to slap her face openly. Moreover, the other people, the maidservant’s heart had already collapsed, but the greed in the end supported her. She could not say that as long as she survived this trial, she would get everything she wanted.

Until the two guards brought a few beggars into the dungeon and bowed to Fu Yingran and the others, “Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, when we arrive at the City God Temple, only these beggars are inside. The rest have already gone out to beg.”

Huyan Mingshuo also knew that Ying Ran didn’t really want to tarnish this maid. He just wanted to scare her and cause her heart to collapse, thus explaining who the master behind the scenes was. Therefore, he didn’t care about her and just followed her around. He only said to the guards, “Okay, bring her over and leave her to the Crown Princess to deal with.”

Fu Yingran looked at the beggars, looked at the maidservant, and left behind the last straw that crushed the camel to death. He only heard her coldly say, “Listen, no matter what method you use, get this woman pregnant as soon as possible. After a few days, I will find her family and send them in. You just have to try your best to get them pregnant.”

Then he said to Huyan Mingshuo, “Mingshuo, the next scene isn’t good. Let’s go back to my room. I want to sleep.” Huyan Mingshuo yawned as he pulled his sleeve and was about to leave. Huyan Mingshuo also stood up and helped her prepare to leave.

The maidservant shouted loudly, “Consort Crown Prince, spare me. This servant said, and this servant said everything. I beg Consort Crown Prince to go around this servant and spare this servant’s family.” If she was wasted by a beggar, then her wish would not be fulfilled, and her family would not be implicated, especially her 13-year-old younger sister. If she was also wasted by a beggar, wouldn’t she be killed?

Ying Ran looked at Lei Yu. Lei Yu immediately ordered people to bring the beggars out. Ying Ran looked at the maid and asked, “Tell me, who is your master and what their purpose is. Remember, you only have one chance. If you don’t tell me honestly, don’t blame me for being vicious.”

The maidservant pondered for a moment. He closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind and said, “This servant is ZuoXian palace maidservant, three years ago, ZuoXian king took this servant’s body, and put it into the house, then poisoned this servant’s body, then let this servant sneak into the prince’s palace, pry information for them, and promised this servant, after the matter is done, return to ZuoXian palace, give me the antidote, will also carry this servant as concubine.

Thus, this servant entered the Crown Prince’s Mansion. In the middle of the night, Prince Zuo Xian personally came to find this servant. and gave this servant a packet of medicinal powder, Let this servant burn it in front of the Crown Princess’ window, She also said that as long as the Crown Princess sniffs the scent, the fetus in her stomach will naturally slip and no one will be suspected. Thus, this servant brought the medicinal powder to the window of Jing Xian’s residence and burned the medicinal powder according to his instructions. Just as this servant was about to leave unknowingly, the Crown Princess did not expect that she would suddenly wake up.

At that time, this servant was afraid of making a noise. The patrolling guards had been hiding in the flowers. They wanted to see the opportunity slip away. They didn’t want Jing Xian’s house to be guarded. This servant couldn’t find an opportunity to slip away until her body was stiff. She moved slightly, but she attracted Lei Guards and caught this servant.

Prince Zuo Xian said, Let this servant try to get rid of the child in the Crown Princess’ belly no matter what, Only then would Princess Lan Ying have the chance to get close to His Highness the Crown Prince and gain his heart. At that time, she would give birth to a son and a half daughters for His Highness the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, no foreign princess could be the Crown Princess. At that time, both Princess Lan Ying and Princess Ling Hua could only be concubines, and Princess Lan Ying was the only queen’s choice.

“This servant only knows this. This servant only asks the Crown Princess not to implicate her family. This servant is willing to die to apologize.” The servant girl spoke out what she knew in one breath. She only asks the Crown Princess to let her die quickly and preserve her final dignity.

Fu Yingran looked sideways at Huyan Mingshuo and pinched his waist with his small hand, “Is the only queen candidate? I can only be a concubine in the future, right? Very good, very good.”

Huyan Mingshuo grabbed her little hand, ‘”Ai Fei, don’t listen to her nonsense. You are the Crown Princess of the Royal Genealogy. I, Huyan Mingshuo, have reported to my ancestor the wife of the first wife. Of course, no one can replace you. Moreover, I promised you that I am the Crown Prince, and you are the Crown Princess. If I become the Emperor, you will be the Empress.” Jun Wu said jokingly.

When Fu Yingran heard this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, “That’s more like it. You can handle this yourself. The one she murdered is your Huyan Mingshuo’s child.” As she spoke, she directly walked out. She was still very powerless. If she didn’t want to know who the murderer was, she wouldn’t have forced herself to come here. Now that she already knew the result, she would go back and rest.

She planned to let Huyan Mingshuo handle it this time, so that she could see if Huyan Mingshuo could say that he would do it and whether he would continue to protect Helian Lanying. Anyway, she had already made arrangements. Things would definitely develop as she had expected. She wanted to hurry back to her room and rest.

Huyan Mingshuo also saw the exhaustion on Ying Ran’s face, so he looked at the maidservant and said to Lei Yu, “Send her on her way. Send the corpse to Prince Zuo. Tell him that this palace’s return gift will arrive soon.” After saying that, he helped Fu Yingran out of the dungeon and sent her back to Jing Xian Ju. After serving her and lying down, he left the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

At this time, the imperial capital was in chaos, and the peddlers ran to tell each other, “Have you heard?” Because Princess Lan Ying had assassinated the Crown Princess many times, the Emperor and the others had blindly protected her. Now that the Great Wei Kingdom had sent troops to the border, they wanted the Ye Lan Imperial Family to give them an explanation. What could they do now? “This snow disaster has just passed, and we are going to fight again. How are we going to live these days?”

But another peddler said, “Not only that, I went to the rice shop this morning to buy rice, but the rice shop was closed. I thought it was too early. The rice shop was not open yet, so I knocked on the door and said that I wanted to buy rice. But the shopkeeper said that he did not do business today, and said that it was because Princess Lan Ying offended Eldest Miss of Tianyi Villa.”

And the Eldest Miss of Tianyi Village is the Crown Princess, so the Crown Princess told the Emperor that Princess Lan Ying was not allowed to marry into the Crown Prince’s Mansion, but the Emperor did not agree. Therefore, the Crown Princess angrily closed all the shops under the name of Tianyi Village. Haven’t you noticed? “Ninety percent of the shops in the imperial capital are not open to do business.”

Just as the peddler finished speaking, a lot of people gathered around him. Everyone was discussing what had happened in the imperial capital. “What are we going to do now? How are we going to live these days? This Princess Lan Ying is really, why are you trying to assassinate the Crown Princess?”

“That’s right. This Crown Princess is a good person. I’ve heard that when she married Yelan, she exchanged all the dowry given by the royal family of the Great Wei for food and distributed it to the people of Yelan.”

“That’s right, that’s right. My family even got two buckets of rice. Take it home and cook it into porridge. My Dabao Er Bao has eaten a few more meals.”

At this time, a vegetable seller came over anxiously, picking up a bunch of vegetables. “Aiya, I was scared to death. Just now, when I passed by the door of the imperial physician Wang, I saw a lot of people gathered around. I walked over and saw that imperial physician Wang had a dagger stuck in his chest. He was already dead. His wife and children cried miserably.”

“This is fine. How did Imperial Physician Wang die?” Everyone in the city liked to join in the fun. In one day, there were so many big events happening in the imperial capital that they were all gathered together to discuss.

“I heard from the Wang family that someone poisoned the Crown Princess last night and wanted to murder the child in her belly. The people from the Crown Prince’s Mansion came to the palace to ask for the Crown Princess’ doctor. It happened that the Crown Prince’s Mansion was here, so they went to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to detoxify the Crown Princess. Unexpectedly, on the way back, they met an assassassin who killed him and even brought his corpse to the door. This was a flickering Crown Princess.” The vegetable seller told everyone the rumors he had heard.

Everyone asked in puzzlement, “What do you mean? Why is it Crown Princess Qiaogou?”
