Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Calculate Concubine Ni
Fu Yingran gently spat out two words: “Use deceit.”

He then saw Huyan Mingshuo’s puzzled expression, “It is well known that there are only two methods to identify a parent and child. Bone Drop and Blood Drop are still there. Naturally, the two of them cannot be tested with bone Drop. Blood Drop has many drawbacks. Therefore, I do not recommend using them. The best method is to have Ni Fei talk to the palace maid face to face and have Father Emperor and Second Prince eavesdrop in the dark.”

Ying Ran glanced at Huyan Mingshuo and hooked his finger at him, “Come here and I’ll tell you.”

Huyan Mingshuo walked towards her doubtfully. Fu Yingran put his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, “We can’t help but be like this …” After saying that, Huyan Mingshuo bit his ear mischievously. After Huyan Mingshuo listened to her words, his expression was originally very serious. After being bitten by her, his spirit relaxed. Thus, he lightly tapped her head and said, “This method of yours is indeed wicked.”

Fu Yingran rolled her eyes at him and pretended to be angry, “Then don’t ask me about this kind of thing in the future.”

Seeing that she was angry, Huyan Mingshuo quickly changed his tone and said, “How can that work? Other than this palace’s beloved imperial concubine, who else can come up with such a brilliant plan? Take a good rest and I’ll be right back.”

As he spoke, he turned around and left Jingxian Residence. Fu Yingran did not look at him this time. She just pulled the blanket and lay down, Then he went to sleep, She was waiting for Huyan Mingshuo last night, He didn’t sleep all night, She fell asleep the next day, When he opened his eyes, he saw Huyan Mingshuo lying beside him. Ying Ran raised his eyes and looked out of the window. Seeing that the sun hadn’t risen yet, he looked at Huyan Mingshuo’s exhausted expression. So, he approached him and placed his hands on his waist. He leaned his head against his chest. Huyan Mingshuo felt her movements and reached out to hold her in his arms before sleeping.

Inside the palace, The Emperor and Mu Linghua had a day or two of romance, He was also exhausted, That was why he didn’t get up until noon. This was the first time in decades that the Emperor had gone out of court. As a result, all the ministers began to suspect that the Emperor was unwell and was no longer able to go to court. All of them were busy planning their own path of retreat. Only then would they be more confident about which prince they would support.

Imperial Concubine Ni also woke up after a day and night of rest. However, just as she got up and was about to get out of bed, a palace maid ran over and reported in panic, “Imperial Concubine Ni, something happened. Someone discovered that Imperial Doctor Xia’s family had suddenly died. Not a single one of them was left alive.”

“Are you telling the truth? Is this news accurate? Are there really no survivors left?” Imperial Concubine Ni’s first reaction was to think that Mu Lingfeng had done it. She couldn’t help but be overjoyed. Afterwards, she remembered Ying’er and felt worried. She decided that it was better to go and see for herself.

Thus, he instructed the palace maid, “This imperial physician Xia has served this palace for more than twenty years. He has suffered such a great calamity, so this palace should go and offer his condolences. Go and instruct him to set up his carriage.”

The palace maid answered and left Ni Fei’s bedroom hall. She went down to pass on the message. Ni Fei also called other palace maids to help her freshen up. After everything was ready, Ni Fei brought the palace maids and eunuchs to the Xia Imperial Physician’s Mansion.

At this moment, there was a row of corpses in the main hall of the Xia Imperial Physician’s Mansion. Because of the sudden incident, they were not ready to be buried. They were only covered with a white cloth. This also made it convenient for Concubine Ni to go forward and examine them one by one. She looked at them one until she saw Ying’er’s corpses in the last row.

She was the most terrifying person to die. Her face was ashen, her eyes were bleeding, and she rolled out. Concubine Ni was so frightened that he quickly covered himself with a white cloth and took a few steps back. Then, he took the silver note from the palace maid and handed it to the manager of the Xia Manor. He said in a trembling voice, “Here is a thousand silver notes. Take it and bury the Xia Imperial Physician’s family properly.”

At this moment, a servant walked over and received the silver note from Ni Fei with both hands. He said gratefully, “This servant thanked Imperial Concubine Ni on behalf of the Xia family. This servant will definitely bury the Xia family properly. Please rest assured, Imperial Concubine Ni.”

Imperial Concubine Ni glanced at the servant. Seeing that his expression was quite friendly, she did not doubt him. She handed the banknote to her and instructed, “Well, do your best. I still have matters to attend to in this palace, so I’ll leave first.” Since she was certain that the dead were dead, there was no need to stay in the pile of dead people. Imperial Concubine Ni then instructed, “Put on a ride back to the palace.”

The servant escorted Concubine Ni out of the gate. Seeing that Concubine Ni was driving further and further away, he took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to a young man who was watching the show. “Now that the maids and servants in the Xia Manor are dead and running away, there is no one in the manor anymore. Could you trouble this little brother to go to the coffin shop and buy some coffins for my master, madam, young master and young miss to bring to the Xia Manor?”

The young man picked up the banknote like a treasure and said, “This is what it should be. Don’t worry, I’ll go right now. The coffin shop is very close to here and will be delivered soon.” The little fellow’s butt jerked towards the coffin shop. He had just counted it. He only needed to buy twelve coffins. Each coffin was at most two taels of silver. He could earn at least seventy to eighty taels of silver.

After a while, The coffin was paved and twelve fine coffins were delivered. The servant also wrapped the entire family of Xia Taiyi up in front of all the onlookers. After the crowd dispersed, the servant opened the coffins one by one. The people inside also climbed out of the coffins one by one. After thanking the servant, they left with the salute they had prepared early in the morning. Only Ying’er did not leave, but went to the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Of course, the servant was also arranged by Huyan Mingshuo, and all of this was Fu Yingran’s idea. Only in this way could the Xia Imperial Physician Clan leave without any worries. Only when Imperial Concubine Ni saw Ying’er’s corpse with her own eyes would she relax her vigilance and cooperate with their next plan.

After seeing Ying’er’s corpse, Ni Fei returned to the palace and lay down peacefully and fell asleep. She slept until midnight when she was woken up by bursts of crying. When she opened her eyes, she couldn’t help but be frightened out of her mind.

Ying’er was still lying on the wooden plank during the day. She looked straight at her, tears streaming down her eyes. She said to her, “Crown Princess, give my children back to me. It has been more than twenty years. I haven’t seen them again. Give them back to me.”

“Lord King of Hell said that I originally had children, but no one sent me to my death.I’m not going to be reincarnated. Crown Princess, servant, please, give them back to me. Let them give me a stick of incense and shed a teardrop, and I can be a new person. Please, Crown Princess.” As he said that, more and more blood and tears flowed out of his eyes, and a few drops fell on Concubine Ni’s quilt.

Imperial Concubine Ni was so scared that her face turned green. “Don’t blame me, don’t come looking for me. Back then, you volunteered to serve the emperor on behalf of this palace. You also volunteered to give birth to the two of them to this palace. You can’t blame this palace for not having someone to send you to your deaths. If you blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for being low-status and falling in love with the emperor in delusion.

Right now, the siblings do not know of your existence. They are both living very well. Do you want them to know that their birth mother is just a palace maid? Do you want them to be unable to raise their heads because of your status? Only as the sons and daughters of this palace could they obtain a better future.

If you really care about your child, you can go back. This palace promises you that if you use all of my strength, you will make your son the future emperor of Ye Lan. “When that day comes, I will personally tell him that you are their biological mother. I will definitely let them go to your grave to offer you a stick of incense and shed a tear. How about you wait a few years before reincarnating?”

However, at this moment, The door of the bedroom hall was kicked open, The emperor and the second prince were standing at the door. There were also a group of palace maids and eunuchs. The emperor quickly walked to Concubine Ni’s bed and reached out to grab her sleeve. Sure enough, he saw that the palace sand on her arm was still there. Immediately, he slapped Concubine Ni on the bed and scolded, “You bitch, you dare to fool me for decades. You want to keep a girl’s body for the sake of raising Gu, right?” For the sake of your grand plan in the Southern Region, you aren’t willing to serve me, are you? “I won’t let you get what you want. Today, I will break your body. Let’s see how you will harm us in the future. Everyone, get out of here.”

Everyone quietly retreated when they heard the Emperor’s angry roar. However, Ying’er looked at the Emperor with a complicated expression. Was this the man she fell in love with back then? Knowing that she had given birth to two children for him, she actually doted on another person in front of her. Ying’er couldn’t help but think in her heart, “Sure enough, the Emperor can’t love her. The Tianjia Ruthlessness is not something she said.”

The Second Prince, Huyan Mingjing, also looked at Ying’er with mixed emotions. Seeing this, he discovered that his face was actually eighty percent similar to his own. He couldn’t help but believe it now, but he didn’t know how to get along with this biological mother who had been separated for many years.

“So I can only look at her and awkwardly say,” Where do you live now? If you don’t have a place to go, you can stay at my prince’s mansion. Don’t think too much about the rest. I will serve you until you die. ” He could naturally tell how infatuated this birth mother was with Father, but he should also remind her at the right time. After all, Father’s love was too little, and she no longer had a share in it.

Ying’er heard her son talking to her, Tears fell down her cheeks. At this moment, she had already wiped her face clean. She had also wiped away all the medicinal powder that Fu Yingran had put on her face. So now, she was no longer shedding tears of blood. She could only see her tears silently. This was her son. He had been forced to leave since he was born. Now, he was standing in front of her and talking to her.

Ying’er’s heart was filled with excitement. Of course, she wanted to spend more time with her son, so she nodded to Huyan Mingjing and said, “I don’t want to see anything now. I used to dream of seeing you and your siblings. As long as I see you and your siblings again, I will be satisfied. The rest is no longer important.” As she spoke, she followed Huyan Mingjing and left the palace.

Neither mother nor son turned back to look at Concubine Ni’s bedroom. They just silently walked forward. To Huyan Mingjing, having an exotic princess as mother was no different from having a palace maid as mother. He had never thought of that position before.

He had followed Ni Fei around since childhood and witnessed with his own eyes all kinds of schemes Ni Fei had against his father. Therefore, he had always rejected sitting on the throne and becoming the emperor. He was also worried that he would become the current father emperor. In places he could not see, all of his beloved women were plotting against him.

Perhaps it would be better to have a palace maid as a mother. At the very least, he would be able to withdraw from Imperial Concubine Ni’s plans from now on. Although he might not be as glorious as before, fortunately, he was still the Emperor’s son. As long as he was able to be a peaceful prince in the future, he believed that the Emperor Brother would definitely give him a place to rest.

At this moment, Ni Fei’s heart-wrenching shouts came from within Ni Fei’s bedroom, “Ah …”
