Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Positioning By Merit
The vegetable seller glanced at everyone and said, “Think about it. The person who poisoned the crown princess wanted to poison the fetus in her stomach, but Imperial Physician Wang helped the crown princess detoxify the baby. The plan of the person who poisoned the baby failed. So, he poured his anger on Imperial Physician Wang and killed him to warn those who wanted to help the crown princess. This was the end result of going against them.”

“That’s right, that’s right. What you said makes sense. I think Princess Lan Ying was probably the one who did this, because only she would hate the Crown Princess so much. This Princess Lan Ying is really vicious. I really can’t see it. She usually looks so soft and weak, but her heart is so vicious.”

“Yes, such a person still wants to marry His Highness the Crown Prince, The Emperor actually agreed, The emperor is confused. The child in the crown princess’ belly is his own grandson. I think we should write a lawsuit to the emperor together. We can’t let Princess Lan Ying marry into the crown prince’s mansion. Once such a vicious woman enters the crown prince’s mansion and gives some malicious ideas to the crown prince, our people in Ye Lan will suffer. ” It had to be said that the brains of the masses were very large, and they could all be associated with it.

“I think that’s fine. Let’s do it this way. Such a vicious woman must not let her stand beside His Highness the Crown Prince. She must not have the chance to harm the people of Ye Lan. Let’s jointly hand over a complaint to the Emperor and quickly write it down. We will immediately send her into the palace. It is the morning.” As the vegetable seller spoke, he put down the vegetable pick and went to find a large piece of paper. After writing the top paper, he asked everyone to sign their names and press their palm prints. Then, he brought everyone to the palace entrance.

Under a big tree at the corner, Cui’er looked at Zhou Qing and said, “Now that we’ve done what we should do, it’s up to the royal family of Ye Lan to decide. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince won’t disappoint Eldest Miss again this time.”

“En, alright, our mission is complete. Let’s go, let’s go back. There are still matters to be dealt with in the manor.” Zhou Qing pulled Cui’er, turned around, and left. The next thing they could do was not within their control.

“Alright, let’s go. I’ll treat you to something delicious when we get back. Eldest Miss has come up with several new ways to eat potatoes recently.” Recently, Fu Yingran and Cui’er had been studying how potatoes were eaten and how they could earn more money together every day.

Zhou Qing glanced at her and did not say anything. He directly pulled her forward. It was better for a woman not to think about it. If she had something to eat, she would eat it. It was better for her not to express her opinions. In order to avoid self-defeating, then the gains would be more than the losses.

At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo coldly looked at the noisy officials in the palace and did not say a word. Suddenly, the little eunuch on duty shouted at the top of his voice, “Your Majesty has arrived.”

Everyone immediately shut their mouths and returned to their seats. Seeing the Emperor enter the hall, the officials bowed and shouted, “Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

The emperor raised his right hand and said weakly, “Get up.” He went straight to the dragon chair and sat down. He looked at the crowd and saw His Highness the Crown Prince standing at the front. He asked, “The Crown Prince doesn’t look too well, but he didn’t sleep well last night. Father Emperor will talk to the Crown Princess himself some day.”

The Emperor thought that it was because of his decree yesterday that Princess Linghua and Helian Lanying would marry into the Crown Prince’s Mansion five days later. Fu Yingran challenged the Crown Prince. He was just thinking about whether he should have a good talk with Fu Yingran and tell her that as the Crown Prince, Huyan Mingshuo would marry a concubine sooner or later. Inevertheless, as the Crown Princess, she should be magnanimous.

Huyan Mingshuo looked at the Emperor with a face full of disappointment. He knew nothing about such a big thing happening outside. He actually only cared about the little thing between women. Thus, he said coldly, “Father, someone in the Crown Prince’s Mansion poisoned the Crown Princess yesterday with the intention of murdering the child in her belly.”

Fortunately, the Crown Princess found out early and promptly asked imperial physician Wang to cure the poison. Who knew that the murderer would then use the Soul Devouring Gu on Ying Ran. He wanted to take advantage of Ying Ran’s unconsciousness to attack the child. Fortunately, his son arrived in time to stop the child and saved the baby in imperial princess’ stomach. However, imperial physician Wang was assassinated on his way back.

Royal Father, this is a clear challenge. Fu Yingran is the Crown Princess who has entered the royal family genealogy. I, Huyan Mingshuo, reported to the Heavenly Ancestor’s Imperial Concubine’s wife. The child in her belly is my royal family’s direct blood. What is the crime of murdering the Royal Prince and Daughter? “Father, please make the decision. The other son has already prepared a decree for the Wang family to leave the imperial capital immediately, so as to prevent the people behind the scenes from taking revenge and implicating his family. Father, please grant me permission and seal the decree.” He took out the decree from his bosom and handed it over.

The emperor took the imperial edict and opened it. Indeed, it was as the crown prince had said. He immediately signed the jade seal and sent the eunuch to the Wang Clan to impart the imperial edict. Then, he said to Huyan Mingshuo, “I will send people down to investigate this matter. You should properly persuade the crown princess.”

The emperor probably knew who the murderer was. He wanted to protect the murderer at this moment. When the ministers heard the emperor’s words, their faces turned green. The emperor’s decision would definitely destroy Ye Lan. One had to know that the Great Wei Kingdom and Tian Yizhuang were exerting pressure on Ye Lan now. Everyone could only look to His Highness the Crown Prince and hope that he could turn the tide.

However, the Crown Prince’s next words undoubtedly shattered everyone’s hopes. He only heard His Highness the Crown Prince say, “Father, the night sky has been unstable recently, and there have been many calamities. I would like to invite Mother Empress to go out of the palace to the Guardian Temple to pray for blessings, and pray that our Nightcrypt Kingdom can overcome the calamity as soon as possible. I hope that Father Emperor will grant me your kindness.”

“Correct, is this the right thing to do? Or is the Crown Prince thoughtful?” The Emperor did not care about the Empress. Besides, it could be said that the Empress’s prayer for the country after leaving the palace was a matter of boundless virtue. There was no reason why he should not allow her to do so.

Huyan Mingshuo bowed to the Emperor, “Thank you father, “In addition, the Crown Princess was shocked last night. There weren’t enough people in my mansion. I want to ask father to give Little Yi of Qian Ming Palace to the Crown Princess so that he can pay attention to her safety at any time. I also want Mu Xiu to take a few days to placate the Crown Princess. After all, the Great Wei army is still in Yelan territory. Don’t let the Crown Princess get too cold. I, Yelan, I am unable to withstand the war right now.”

This was a series of beating and cutting. First, the Empress requested to leave the city. Then, His Highness the Crown Prince took advantage of Mu Xiu’s seclusion. This was going to be abandoned. The ministers were panicking now and were waiting for the Emperor’s final decision. Most of these people were from the Crown Prince. No matter what the Emperor decided, they would follow His Highness the Crown Prince.

The Emperor thought for a moment and agreed, “Alright, Little Yizi, you can take it with you. You can accompany the Crown Prince Concubine for a few days. After all, the Crown Prince, Ping Fei, and Madam Lan will be entering the manor in four days.” I have to thank Imperial Concubine Ni for this. If she hadn’t sealed off the news outside the palace without permission, the Emperor wouldn’t have agreed so readily. Even now, he was still daydreaming and was actually thinking about Mu Linghua and Helian Lanying marrying into the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, he only glanced at the Emperor and said indifferently, “Imperial Daughter Lan Ying doesn’t need to enter the manor. The person who poisoned her yesterday has already confessed. The person behind the scenes is Prince Zuo Xian’s manor. As for Princess Ling Hua, she can enter the manor, but her status is yet to be determined.”

In my Nightmare Kingdom, both men and women are capable of subduing the crowd, How can I be in a high position if I don’t have the ability? Back then, when I was married to Princess Jingxian, it was to relieve my Yelan Snow Calamity. She also changed all of her dowry into food to help my Yelan people. Now, she has given birth to children for my Huyan Imperial Family. She contributed so much to my Yelan Clan and became my Huyan Mingshuo’s Crown Princess.

“If the others want to stand beside me and become members of the royal family of Ye Lan, they have to do something that will make the people of Ye Lan submit. Just like what the Crown Princess said, this palace is first the crown prince of Ye Lan, then Huyan Mingshuo.” This is intentionally flattering Fu Yingran and reminding everyone that Fu Yingran is credited to Ye Lan.

Prince Zuo was shocked. This was the end. He didn’t expect that bitch to really confess to him. This time, it was even more impossible for Lan Ying to enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion. In addition to the rumors outside the palace, he feared that his Zuo Xian Mansion wouldn’t be good this time.

When the ministers heard this, they also expressed their admiration for the Crown Prince’s decision. Especially the phrase, “I am first the Crown Prince of Ye Lan, then Huyan Mingshuo.” In Ye Lan, it was based on my ability to speak. How could a princess of a small country without any achievements become the Crown Prince’s Pingfei in vain?
