Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 88
Chapter 88 Sou Gong
“Yes, Crown Princess.” After that, the guards directly escorted Nanny Lin and the palace maid down. Anyway, everyone knew that the Crown Prince’s Mansion was in charge of the Crown Princess’ affairs. His Highness the Crown Prince doted on his wife to the extreme, so all he had to do was listen to the Crown Princess’ orders.
After everyone left, Fu Yingran walked up to Huyan Mingshuo and sat directly on his lap. He put his arms around his neck and said, “You really are worthy of being the Crown Prince of Ye Lan. I only raised my head lightly, and you already know what I’m going to do. You’re making me feel like I don’t exist.”
Huyan Mingshuo listened and gently kissed her on the forehead, saying, “With me here, what kind of presence do you need? However, it’s fine if Nanny Lin bumps into her. The spies planted in the army in the southern border this time are too cunning. Every time they find a clue, the clue will be broken if they want to continue searching.”
So when I saw Nanny Lin just now, I have the same idea as you. Since she came knocking on the door, why don’t we use her? Since she can be used by Concubine Ni, she must have some status in the eyes of the people of Southern Xinjiang. Among these scouts of Ye Lan, Concubine Ni is the most important. These scouts must be mainly Concubine Ni.
Imperial Concubine Ni could not leave the palace casually. Therefore, I suspect that Nanny Lin must be the one who helped Ni Fei contact the outside world. If she were to be sent to the army, the spies of the Southern Region would definitely find an opportunity to meet her and inquire about the situation in the palace. We just need to send people to keep an eye on her. Once someone comes into contact with her, we will immediately arrest her. In this critical period, we would rather catch her by mistake than let her off. ”
After listening to him, Fu Yingran held his face and kissed him, saying, “How clever, exactly as I thought. I have to ask my mother another day if you are the son she lost many years ago. How can you be so kind to me? If it weren’t for the difference in age, I would have suspected that we are twins.”
Huyan Mingshuo lightly tapped her forehead and scolded, “Ghosts and spirits, what nonsense are you talking about?” The two of them were fighting. Suddenly, Little Yi ran in in panic and reported, “Report to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Right Virtuous King and many other ministers are outside the palace gates. They said that they have something to attend to in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.” ·
Fu Yingran and Huyan Mingshuo looked at each other and said, “They came really quickly. Hurry up and invite them to the Crown Prince’s dormitory. I didn’t expect these people under Concubine Ni to be very efficient.” This was another headache for Huyan Mingshuo. The people of the Southern Region were too cunning. They would often be owed a nose by the people of the Southern Region.
Therefore, Huyan Mingshuo angrily said, “One day, I will drive all these Nanjiang people out of the territory of Yelan. Each of them is as cunning as a mouse. Nalan Jinhong has been toyed with by them many times, and even I have seen their way several times.”
Looking at his angry expression, Fu Yingran said without fear of death, “That’s because you didn’t have me before. Why don’t you hire me as your military counselor? Your wife and I are much better than those annoying rats. Why don’t you think about it carefully?” Once the war really started, Huyan Mingshuo would definitely go to the battlefield. At that time, he would definitely not let him follow him. As long as he could personally agree to let him become a military counselor, then she would be able to follow him to the battlefield with justification.
As soon as she spoke, Huyan Mingshuo knew what she was planning, so he said solemnly, “Ying Ran, I know you want to follow me to the battlefield. I’m also reluctant to leave you behind. However, your current body is not suitable for you to follow me to take risks. After you give birth, I’ll do whatever you want, okay?”
“Alright, it’s settled. I’ll go with you when the baby is born. You can’t go anyway for a while now. Just preparing food and military pay will take several months. Perhaps I will have given birth by the time you leave.” Haha, Fu Yingran is not an idiot. Isn’t it up to her to decide when Ye Lan’s army will go to war?
Huyan Mingshuo looked at her crafty expression and shook his head helplessly, “It’s up to you. However, you can’t delay the best fighter jet. If necessary, I can only bring you and your child to the battlefield.” This means that since you want to follow him, as long as the time is ripe, even if you have a big belly, you can only follow him. You can’t delay the best time of the war for your own reasons.
“Understood, Your Highness the Crown Prince.” As he spoke, he jumped down from Huyan Mingshuo and walked to his seat. This was because the voice of the Right Virtuous King had already rang out at the door. If he saw the two of them being so tired in the palace, perhaps their faces would turn black again.
Huyan Mingshuo saw her like this and didn’t have the slightest bit of consciousness as a pregnant woman. He immediately sank his face and said, “Can’t you wait a bit longer? Such a big belly, and you’re still jumping around.”
“Haha!” Fu Yingran only smiled at him after hearing this. “Let’s talk about me later. Uncle and the others have come in.”
Huyan Mingshuo glanced at her and shook his head. He did not speak any more. Not long after, Prince Right Xian brought a dozen civil and military ministers in and bowed to the two of them. “Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.”
“All of you, get up. Uncle and a few adults, what are you doing in the palace right now?” Huyan Mingshuo naturally knew what they were here for. He only hoped that they could say it out of their mouths. Only then would he be able to stay out of it.
At this moment, a minister stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, I was just in the manor when someone suddenly reported that Your Highness poisoned and placed the emperor under house arrest. He also secretly hid a dragon robe in the palace with the intention of rebelling. Thus, I invited the Right Virtuous King and the other lords to take a look at what is going on.”
Huyan Mingshuo glanced at that person and confirmed that this person was not his. He was probably also Concubine Ni’s claws, so he immediately became impolite and asked sharply, “Oh, who gave you the information? Could you please come and confront him?”
That person faced Huyan Mingshuo’s questioning, He didn’t feel guilty, Because he trusts his people, Thus, he boldly said, “Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, is the emperor’s side of Eunuch Chen told the old minister, he also said, today he followed the emperor and Mrs Mu went to the Crown Prince’s mansion, then the emperor was unconscious, and was detained by His Highness the Crown Prince’s mansion, Mrs Mu was also calculated by the Crown Princess, also ordered to be escorted into the palace, only half way robber kidnapped.
When the maids and eunuchs of the harem heard the news, Afraid of your revenge, Your Highness, They all packed their luggage and planned to leave the palace secretly, “I didn’t want to, but I found a dragon robe in the Crown Prince’s bedroom. It was made according to the Crown Prince’s size. The palace maid was afraid so she told Eunuch Chen. So Eunuch Chen ran to the minister’s mansion, hoping that the minister would come forward and invite a few adults to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince. The Emperor is still alive, so His Highness must not act rashly to avoid being condemned for eternity.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a “pa pa pa pa” sound. Fu Yingran patted his hands a few times in succession and laughed until he was out of breath. “Oh my God, I can’t do it, husband, this is too funny.”
Huyan Mingshuo glared at her and said, “Pay attention to me. There’s still a child in my stomach.” Fu Yingran glared back at him. Huyan Mingshuo was signaling with his eyes that he wanted her to handle this matter. He had better not intervene in this matter. If he couldn’t handle it well, he would be ready to cover it up. Moreover, this conspiracy was not his strong point.
Fu Yingran also knew what he was thinking. After spending so much time together, She also knew that, The people of Ye Lan are not really good at these schemes, Otherwise, Concubine Ni wouldn’t have controlled the harem for decades, So she stopped laughing and walked over to the minister and asked, “May I ask this lord, since Eunuch Chen is the emperor’s personal eunuch and the emperor is unconscious from poisoning, he is not by the emperor’s side, so he still has time to come to your mansion to gossip. This shows his loyalty to the emperor. Who exactly is he?”
You said that the Crown Prince’s house arrest is even more ridiculous. Since the Emperor is unconscious, why would the Crown Prince arrest the Emperor? What good would it do for the Crown Prince to have the unconscious Emperor under house arrest? You said that the Crown Prince hid the dragon robe in an attempt to rebel, don’t you think that you are contradicting yourself? The Crown Prince was originally the Chu Jun, and the Emperor was unconscious. The Crown Prince could have been able to supervise the affairs of the country openly, so there was no need for him to fall into an eternal infamy.
You also said that the palace maid eunuch was afraid of the Crown Prince’s revenge, so she packed her luggage and planned to leave the palace. May I ask this lord, as the treasurer of a country, Your Highness the Crown Prince has already left the palace to build the mansion, so what kind of hatred do you have with the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace? His Highness the Crown Prince has endless national affairs to worry about every day, how could he have the energy to deal with these palace maids and eunuchs? This was just words that someone with a heart would say to stir up people’s hearts.
As for Madam Mu? Where did Lady Mu come from in Yelan Kingdom? The people of Yelan Imperial Capital saw it with their own eyes. Princess Ling Hua was personally escorted into the Crown Prince’s Mansion by the Southern Crown Prince. She was just a concubine mother in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. She had always stayed in the Northern Courtyard of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Why would she go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion with the Emperor? ”
After Fu Yingran finished speaking, he coldly looked at the minister and waited for his reply. However, the minister opened his mouth and closed it. He could not refute anything. He only heard Fu Yingran continue, “It seems that this lord doesn’t know what happened. Then let this palace tell everyone.”
The Emperor was indeed poisoned and unconscious. That was Auntie Mu from the Crown Prince’s mansion. She was unwilling to be ignored by the Crown Prince and poisoned to plot against the Emperor. Unexpectedly, the Emperor was too old to withstand the stimulation, so she fainted. The reason why the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace wanted to escape was because someone told them that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to kill all those who had disrespected the Empress. Not to mention that His Highness had not said this before, that is to say, why not?
My lords, the Empress is the mother of a country. Should I punish her for being disrespectful to her? As the Empress’ biological son, what’s wrong with the Crown Prince being the Empress Mother? The emperor was poisoned and unconscious by someone. The Crown Prince was in charge of the country. Besides, the Crown Prince still had the imperial decree that the emperor ordered him to supervise the country. There was no need for the Crown Prince to attempt to rebel again. ” Seeing Fu Yingran tell the truth, the minister couldn’t help but panic. He looked at the other ministers and saw that their expressions were not right. They were obviously blaming Fu Yingran for dragging them in.
“Since the Crown Princess has said so, it means that there is no dragon robe hidden in the Crown Prince’s bedroom. Why not let the guards search for it, so that His Highness the Crown Prince can be innocent?” As long as the dragon robe was found, it would be useless no matter what they said, so all he had to do was stare at this point.
At this moment, Huyan Mingshuo suddenly said, “This palace can be searched by you, but if you can’t find out, anyone who has anything to do with this matter will be beheaded. Come and bring Eunuch Chen and Mu Nishang here.” Looking at Huyan Mingshuo’s aura, the minister’s heart trembled. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was enraged this time. He was no longer as trampled upon as before. He only hoped that he could find the dragon robe in the Crown Prince’s dormitory. Otherwise, he would have to lie down and leave the palace today.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Right now, the ones who walked in were the Dark Guards that guarded the imperial palace. They had always only obeyed the true masters of the imperial palace. Right now, only the Emperor, Empress, and the Crown Prince were the true masters of the imperial palace in Ye Lan. Huyan Mingshuo had now taken out the Crown Prince’s command medallion, so the Dark Guards that had been patrolling around the imperial palace all year round had come out.
