Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Let the Crown Prince Supervise the Country
As he screamed throughout his life, Imperial Concubine Ni was really crippled, Once his virgin body was broken, Due to the backlash of the female Gu in her body, Imperial Concubine Ni quickly aged at a rate visible to the naked eye. She was clearly only in her forties, but she looked like an old woman of seventy or eighty years old. The female Gu in her body also fell off automatically. A shiny green Gu worm slowly crawled out from Concubine Ni’s forehead and quickly withered and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye. This time, the Soul Devouring Gu was temporarily extinct. The Emperor saw this scene. She was so frightened that she quickly put on her clothes and hurriedly left.

It turned out that two hours ago, The Emperor suddenly dreamt that Xia Taiyi had given him a dream. to account for what Concubine Ni has done over the years, The Emperor woke up in a flash. When she woke up and saw the pillow, There was also the confession personally drawn by imperial physician Xia. Thus, he rushed to Concubine Ni’s bedroom. He intended to ask clearly. He had just arrived at the door when he met the second prince. The second prince also said that he had the same dream. Thus, the father and son came to Concubine Ni’s palace together. At the door, they happened to hear the conversation between Concubine Ni and Ying’er.

So on the second day, The Emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict in the morning court. His personal eunuch, Eunuch Zhang, held an imperial edict in his hand. Standing beside him, he said, “Fengtian transport, The emperor said, Ni Fei’s Mu Clan had deceived her, Deliberately confusing the prince’s background, “There is no virtue to speak of. I am ashamed of the title of Ni Fei. I will immediately be demoted to a commoner and be placed in a cold palace. I will never take a step forward in my life. The palace maid, Ying’er, is the biological mother of the eldest princess and the second prince. Today, she is called Madam Ying. The other second prince is now an adult. She has been given the title of Prince Jing, Di Jin Jing City. Madam Ying can accompany Prince to Jing Manor to spend her later years in life in Jing Manor.”

At this moment, the Second Prince stepped out and kowtowed to the Emperor, “Thank you, Father Longan. Long live!” Then, he raised his hands above his head and received the imperial edict. His heart was at ease. Originally, at his age, the other princes had already conferred the title of Prince Jianfu. However, due to Concubine Ni’s repeated obstruction, he had been living in the imperial prince’s mansion in the name of the prince.

The Ye Lan royal family has always had rules, Once the prince reached adulthood, he would become king and leave the imperial capital to build another mansion. Only the Crown Prince could build a mansion in the imperial capital. Once the prince became king, he would be insulated from the throne. That was why Concubine Ni had repeatedly prevented him from becoming king. Now that the imperial edict had been issued, he could leave the imperial capital with his birth mother.

At this time, the Emperor glanced around and still didn’t see Huyan Mingshuo, so he asked, “Has the Crown Prince still not come to the court today?” After waiting for a while, no one replied. The Emperor also said with an unhappy expression, “Prince Zuo, you are the Crown Prince’s uncle. Please go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion in the future. Tell him that Ye Lan is in a troubled autumn. Tell him to settle down the Crown Princess and return to deal with the government affairs as soon as possible.”

Prince Youxian had already received a message from Huyan Mingshuo. Knowing that the current Emperor had been planted with the Concentrated Gu, Mu Ling Hua’s heart was filled with thoughts. ‘”Your Majesty, this old minister feels that His Highness the Crown Prince is in space. The Emperor should find something for him to do. The young man should let him train outside. He should watch over his wife and make love to me all day long.” The old minister bowed to the Emperor and said, “It would be great if the Emperor were to let the Emperor delegate power again.” This was the intelligence of the Right Virtuous King, and this last sentence was exactly what the Emperor was thinking right now.

His Majesty’s mind is now a mess, unable to distinguish anything. His mind is filled with Mu Linghua’s pitiful appearance and the charm of Cheng Huan’s body. Now that he listens to the words of the Right Virtuous King, he is immediately unhappy. I am here to defend your country with all my might. You are lucky to be hiding in the manor with your wife. You are so beautiful.

This daddy won’t let you get what you want. I’m going to swap with you now. I’ll let you sit in the court and fight to the death every day. This daddy will also go back to the palace to hug the beauty and have fun.

Thus, the Emperor was caught in the counter-plot of the Right Virtuous King. He immediately issued a decree saying, “Pass on my decree. I have been unwell recently and need to rest for a few days. Let the Crown Prince temporarily imprison the country until my body recovers. Eunuch Zhang, you should immediately draw up a decree.”

“This servant obeys.” Eunuch Zhang immediately spread out a blank imperial edict. After complying with the emperor’s original words, he handed it over to the emperor with both hands. After the emperor received it and confirmed that it was correct, he stamped a jade seal on it and handed it back to Eunuch Zhang, asking him to personally go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to deliver the edict.

Then the Emperor said to the crowd, “Let’s call it a day. Retreat from the court.” After that, he couldn’t wait to go to the harem. Eunuch Zhang had followed the Emperor for many years and had never seen such an Emperor before. After the Emperor left, he asked the Right Virtuous King softly, “What’s wrong with the Emperor? Why are you in such a hurry to go to court? This is something that has never happened before.”

Prince Youxian raised his eyes to look at Eunuch Zhang. Of course, I can’t tell him about such a thing, so I only said, “This king doesn’t know what happened to the emperor. As subjects, we only need to do everything for the emperor. Eunuch Zhang should quickly go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to deliver the decree. If you go late, the Crown Prince will accompany the Crown Princess out of the mansion to play, and you won’t be able to explain it to the emperor.”

Prince Youxian was afraid that things would change, so he tricked Eunuch Zhang into passing the imperial edict to Huyan Mingshuo as soon as possible to avoid any trouble. Fortunately, Prince Youxian said this too much. Otherwise, the imperial edict would really not reach Huyan Mingshuo’s hands, and the next plan would be impossible to implement.

The emperor hurriedly came to Mu Linghua’s bedroom. Now that Concubine Ni had been demoted, Mu Linghua moved down the main hall from the side hall. As soon as the emperor stepped into the bedroom hall, he proudly said to Mu Linghua, “Consort, I can accompany you more from now on. From tomorrow onwards, I will accompany you daily. Are you happy?”

Although Mu Linghua had planted the Gu, her brain had not been corroded by the poison. Therefore, other than feeling uncontrollable, she still had the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Hearing the Emperor’s words, she immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Isn’t Ye Lan a troubled autumn recently? How could the Emperor be so empty?”

‘”Ai Fei, listen to me. This is what happened” Then the Emperor told Mu Ling Hua what had happened earlier. Mu Ling Hua heard that the secret path was not good and the Emperor was tricked, so he quickly said, “The Emperor’s imperial decree cannot be issued. We must quickly find someone to intercept it. Once this imperial decree is passed out, your imperial power will be overturned.”

When the Emperor heard Mu Ling Hua say this, he did not think too much and directly ordered the eunuch beside him, “Hurry up and stop Eunuch Zhang.”

“Yes, this servant obeys.” The eunuch answered and immediately went to stop Eunuch Zhang. However, when he chased all the way to the entrance of the palace, the guard guarding the door said that Eunuch Zhang was about to leave the palace. The eunuch was too low-ranking, so he could not leave the palace without an exit token. Thus, he had to go back and ask the Emperor for an exit token before heading straight to the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

However, no matter how fast he ran, by the time he arrived at the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Huyan Mingshuo had already taken the imperial edict in his hand. Everything was settled. The little eunuch was also honest, and he honestly explained the reason why he left the palace.

Who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would say, “Father Emperor is the ruler of a country. The so-called monarch has no jokes. It doesn’t seem like Father Emperor’s way of doing things is changing so frequently.” The little eunuch did not lie and directly told the conversation between the Emperor and Mu Linghua.

After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, She thought to herself that Mu Linghua really did have some brains, No wonder the Nanjiang Imperial Family desperately wanted to send her to Ye Lan. If such a woman really did become Huyan Mingshuo’s woman, then his Crown Prince’s Mansion would not be peaceful. Fortunately, Ying Ran had already taken care of her. Otherwise, he would probably end up like Father. Just thinking about Huyan Mingshuo made his back feel cold.

Thus, he said to Eunuch Zhang and the little eunuch, “Eunuch Zhang, if you still have something to do, you can go and do it first. This palace still has some things to deal with. You go back and tell Father Emperor that this palace will go to the court tomorrow, so he can rest in peace.”

Eunuch Zhang knew that this was the Crown Prince’s displeasure. He gave the order to expel him, so he said, “Since the Crown Prince has something to attend to, then the servants should leave first.” Eunuch Zhang was also unable to do so. The imperial edict had already been sent out, so he had no right to return. He could only return to the palace first before making any plans.

“The two palaces are easy to leave.” Huyan Mingshuo sent the two of them away and immediately went to Jingxian Residence. He wanted to discuss with Fu Yingran. He was afraid that he had to let the Emperor go to bed quickly. Otherwise, Ye Lan would really be finished. He didn’t want to just move down a Concubine Ni and bring in another Mu Linghua.

When Huyan Mingshuo returned to Jingxian Residence, Fu Yingran was about to lift the blanket and get out of bed. Huyan Mingshuo hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, “If you need anything, just tell the maidservant to take it. What are you going to do when you get up?”

Fu Yingran rolled his eyes at him and said, “Do I have to go to the bathroom to get someone to help me?” Huyan Mingshuo then helped her to the bathroom with an awkward expression. Fu Yingran sat on the chair and asked him, “I heard that Eunuch Zhang came to deliver the decree just now. What happened to Father this time? Which family or country’s princess did you plan to point out to you?” It was as if ever since he entered Ye Lan, the Emperor of Ye Lan had issued a decree to Huyan Mingshuo, so she could not be blamed for thinking like this.

Huyan Mingshuo listened to Fu Yingran’s mockery, and his face was filled with helplessness. Ever since Ying Ran married him, Father had always changed her ways and stuffed women into the Crown Prince’s Mansion. It seemed that she had already left a shadow in her heart. Huyan Mingshuo could only sigh softly.

He said to Fu Yingran, ‘”I’m sorry, Ying Ran. I’ve wronged you a while ago in order not to make things difficult for Father Emperor and Mother. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again in the future. The current Father Emperor can’t force me to make any compromises anymore. The imperial edict that Eunuch Zhang sent us today is very beneficial to us. However, I will be very busy in the future, and I will spend less time with you.” Huyan Mingshuo couldn’t help but smile when he thought of the contents of the imperial edict.

After Ying Ran saw it, he also teasingly asked, “What kind of content makes our Crown Prince so happy? He is actually so happy?”

Huyan Mingshuo didn’t care about her teasing, He only told her the contents of the imperial edict and then said, “Ying Ran, my uncle and I have already discussed it. We feel that we can only use the method you mentioned. Judging from Mu Linghua’s reaction today, Imperial Father can no longer handle the government affairs. Otherwise, Yelan will perish, so I think we should let Imperial Father sleep as soon as possible.”

After Fu Yingran heard this, After a moment of silence, he said, “Ming Shuo, we have to hurry to bring mother back to the palace, Otherwise, once Father Emperor sleeps, “Mu Ling Hua is in charge of the entire Yelan Imperial Palace. If she orders the dukes with the Son of Heaven, we can only stare at her. If we welcome her back to the palace, she will be the head of the imperial palace. The Imperial Mother of Yelan is in critical condition. It is only natural for the Empress to preside over the imperial palace. Even a little Mu Ling Hua can’t cause any trouble.”

‘”That’s right, what you said makes sense. I’ll have Uncle send someone to bring the Dark Mother Empress back to the palace. It’s just that I’ve wronged the Empress Mother. We promised to welcome her back to the palace in a glorious manner, but now we can only let her sneak back to the palace.” Huyan Mingshuo felt ashamed of his mother and his face darkened.

Ying Ran saw him and took his hand and said, “Ming Shuo, don’t worry. As long as we work together, one day we can make Mother Empress accept the respect of all the people. We will work together to make Mother Empress Mother the only Empress Dowager on this continent.”

As soon as Fu Yingran finished speaking, Little Yi ran in anxiously and reported, “Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, the Emperor and Madam Mu are here. They are outside the manor. I want you to hurry and receive them at the manor’s entrance.”
