Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Back In Nanjiang
After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, He nodded and said, “What you’re saying is that because Ye Lan’s land is barren and resources are scarce, the Imperial Court is often helpless against natural and man-made disasters these years. Moreover, because of the shortage of grain and grass, Ye Lan’s army cannot expand. It is indeed barely able to protect itself. If we can really take down the Great Wei and Southern Xinjiang, we, Ye Lan, will be invincible and will not fear any more disasters.” This was also the biggest worry of all Ye Lan Monarchs, and also the nightmare of all Ye Lan people.

When Fu Yingran heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, “I can help you realize all of this. However, I have a request that may be a bit excessive, but I hope you can agree to it.”

Huyan Mingshuo took the cotton cloth from her hand and wiped her hair. She asked indifferently, “What do you want? Tell me, as long as I can make the decision, I will agree to it.”

Fu Yingran listened to his words and said, “Actually, it’s not a difficult matter. My only request is that after taking down the Great Wei Empire, you don’t have to expend any money to make Zihao an emperor and let Prince Duan regent. The Great Wei Empire doesn’t have to submit to Ye Lan. It only needs to pay tribute to Ye Lan every year. This is the condition I promised to help you. As for the southern border, you can do it yourself.” As a princess of the Great Wei Kingdom, she felt guilty for helping her husband destroy her homeland.

However, the royal family of the Great Wei had already been adjusted to zero. Although there was still Prince Duan’s bloodline, his father was older than him. His eldest brother only knew poems and songs, while his second brother only knew marching and fighting. He was not suitable to be an emperor. Besides, she only hoped that her relatives would be able to live as they pleased under her protection and not be trapped by those invisible shackles.

After Huyan Mingshuo heard this, he was silent for a long time. Fortunately, he agreed in the end, “I can promise you, but you have to promise me that Great Wei will never be enemies with me, Ye Lan. Furthermore, once Ye Lan has any need, Great Wei must immediately send troops to help.”

Although Fu Yingran’s request was a bit excessive, without Fu Yingran’s full support, Ye Lan would not be able to conquer the countries. Therefore, Huyan Mingshuo could still accept Fu Yingran’s request.

“I can guarantee that if the emperor of the Great Wei breaks his promise in the future, I will personally hand over the jade seal of the Great Wei Kingdom to you. At the same time, I hope that you can protect the Great Wei Kingdom for my sake.” This was also the last thing she could do for her homeland. If she could obtain the protection of Ye Lan, the emperor of the Great Wei would be able to maintain long-term peace as long as he managed the country peacefully and paid tribute to Ye Lan with appropriate goods every year.

“Alright, since you’ve already promised me this, this matter is settled. It’s getting late now. Let’s rest early.” As he spoke, he used the cotton cloth in his hand to dry his hair randomly. He hugged her and was about to walk towards the bed.

Fu Yingran stopped him and said, “Wait a moment.” As she spoke, she walked to the dressing table beside the bed, picked up the blueprint that she had just drawn and handed it to Huyan Mingshuo, saying, “Nah, this is the blueprint that I drew. You just take it and order someone to do it. Alright, then let me know how I will give it to them.”

Huyan Mingshuo took the paper and looked at it. Then, he looked at Fu Yingran and asked, “Did you draw this? How did you come up with it?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Just do as I say. Alright, I’m also sleepy. Let’s go, go to sleep.” How did he come up with it? Could it be that she was going to tell him that I had read about it in books when I was in elementary school? This couldn’t be said at all, so she could only pass the test vaguely.

At this time, in the military camp in Ye Lan, the guards of the Crown Prince’s Mansion would bring Nanny Lin and the palace maids who had their meridians severed into the military camp. It happened that Nalan Jinhong was also there, so the guards relayed His Highness’ orders and returned to the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Nalan Jinhong heard that it was Huyan Mingshuo’s intention. He raised his head to look at the two half-dead people. Because he had been monitoring Concubine Ni in the palace recently, he recognized the old woman at a glance. She was the steward nanny beside Concubine Ni. He instantly understood Huyan Mingshuo’s intention.

He immediately instructed the guards, “Someone, send these two to the female captive camp, and send people to spy on them. As soon as someone approaches them, arrest them all.”

“Yes, General Nalan.” After the guards accepted the order, they carried the two of them out of the tent. Since Huyan Mingshuo had always been in charge of the military, he had already given Nalan Jinhong the position of general, so it was convenient for him to walk in the army.

The female captive camp was filled with the families of women captured during the war and criminal officials. They were like military prostitutes. Normally, soldiers would go there to enjoy themselves. Under such circumstances, it was obvious that the two of them could not satisfy them. If there were people who would come into contact with them under such circumstances, then their motives would definitely not be simple.

At this time, in a cave south of the imperial capital, Eunuch Zhang brought two people into the cave with the unconscious Emperor. He reported to Mu Linghua, “Reporting to Princess Linghua, this servant has ordered someone to rescue the Emperor. However, the Emperor has been unconscious, no matter how this servant cries, I will not wake up.”

Looking at the unconscious Emperor, Mu Linghua felt extremely irritated. As the Princess of the Southern Region, she only took a glance and knew that the Emperor had probably been sucked into his soul by the Soul Devouring Gu. It was equivalent to a living dead person. Of course, she could not wake him up.

However, Under the circumstances, She couldn’t send him back to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, We can only bring him back to the southern border first, Perhaps Father might have a way to wake him up, Thus, she instructed everyone: “Right now, the capital is definitely searching for our whereabouts everywhere. If they can’t find our whereabouts, they will definitely expand the scope of their search. Therefore, it’s not convenient to stay here for long. We should still bring the Emperor back to the southern border. Perhaps Father will have a way to wake him up. When that time comes, we will return to Ye Lan in a glorious manner.”

“Yes, Princess.” This was also what Eunuch Zhang thought in his heart. As long as he could awaken the Emperor, Nanjiang would be able to kidnap the Emperor and Ye Lan would bow down to him.

Thus, these people brought the unconscious Emperor all the way south, picking up a hidden mountain path. About a month later, they finally stepped onto the southern border. Mu Lenghua instantly heaved a sigh of relief and instructed everyone, “Find a hotel to rest for a while, and then immediately send someone to inform father and royal brother to send someone to pick us up.”

“Yes, Princess. This servant will go down and make arrangements.” As Eunuch Zhang spoke, he turned around and led everyone to the nearest town. They ordered a few rooms and settled down first. Mu Lenghua instructed everyone to put the Emperor in her room and retreated.

She washed herself first, He personally waited on the emperor and scrubbed his body. Putting on clean clothes and looking at the motionless Emperor, Mu Linghua felt his eyes sour. He couldn’t help but whisper, “Although we have only been together for a few short days, I know that it is the effect of the Concentrated Gu. However, how can I remain indifferent to your obedience to me these days? Don’t worry, I will definitely beg father to wake you up.”

As he spoke, Mu Linghua took off his shoes and went to bed. He lay beside the Emperor and hugged him for a while before he fell asleep. After a month of climbing mountains and wading in the water, even a five-foot-long man would be exhausted. Not to mention, she was just a weak woman.

When Mu Linghua woke up, it was already sunset and Mu Lingfeng had already arrived. Seeing that she was still asleep, he did not wake her up. Now that he heard a noise in the room, he immediately knocked on the door and asked, “Ling Hua, are you awake? I’m coming in.” As he spoke, he pushed the door open and entered. Eunuch Zhang had already told him that the Emperor was already a living dead person, so there was nothing to hide.

Seeing that it was his elder brother, Mu Linghua remembered the grievances he had suffered during this period of time. His eyes couldn’t help but turn red and he shouted, “Brother Wang.” Then, he immediately climbed down from the bed and threw himself into Mu Lingfeng’s embrace and cried loudly.

Mu Lingfeng did not say anything else. He gently patted her back and silently comforted her. After about a cup of tea, after Mu Lenghua calmed down, Mu Lingfeng asked, “What exactly is going on? Why did you all run back to the southern border in such a sorry state and bring a living Emperor Ye Lan with you?”

Upon hearing Brother Wang’s question, Mu Linghua said, His eyes turned red and he said, “Ever since Brother Wang sent me to the Crown Prince’s Mansion that day, I’ll do it the way Brother Wang gave me, Unexpectedly, Fu Yingran is a devil. After she saw through my plan, she recklessly retaliated against me. She ordered people to drink Huyan Mingshuo’s tea and send me to the Emperor’s bedroom. Afterwards, she planted the Concentrated Gu on us … so we are like this now. ”

Mu Lenghua sobbed and told Mu Lingfeng everything that had happened during this period of time, Then he said, “Brother Wang, aunt has also lost her life. She was killed by Huyan Mingshuo and his wife. We must avenge her. She died miserably. Her body was forcefully broken by the Emperor, and she was devoured by the mother insect. In an instant, she became old. In the end, she was ordered to be beheaded by Huyan Mingshuo.”

After hearing this, Mu Lingfeng could spit out fire in his eyes, so he said hatefully, “Don’t worry, I won’t let aunt die in vain. I will definitely use the heads of Huyan Mingshuo and his wife to pay tribute to aunt’s spirit in heaven.” Mu Ling Feng firmly swore.

Then he looked at the unconscious Emperor Ye Lan on the bed. He couldn’t help but say, “it ‘s good that you bring him to the southern border, “As long as we can find a way to revive him, we can use the Son of Heaven to order the dukes. At that time, Ye Lan will be our possession. Now that the Great Wei is under our control, as long as we take down Ye Lan, our Southern Region will be the most powerful country on this continent. I think who else dares to go against us?”

Seeing Mu Lingfeng’s confident expression, Mu Lenghua couldn’t bear to pour cold water on him. He just said, “Let’s bring Emperor Ye Lan to see Father King first. I hope that Father King has a way to wake him up. Otherwise, our Southern Region will be in big trouble.” On the way back, she had heard that Ye Lan was actively preparing for war. The only thing they wanted to conquer was probably the Southern Region. They had to hurry up and tell their father about this matter, so that they could prepare for the battle in advance. Otherwise, they would probably become slaves to the nation’s extinction.

After Mu Lingfeng heard this, he nodded and said, “Alright, I just returned to the southern border yesterday. I haven’t entered the palace to meet Father. Let’s go together. After I escaped from Ye Lan, I went to the Great Chen Kingdom. I also have something to tell Father.”

“No wonder Brother Wang doesn’t know anything. So you’re not in the Southern Region. Let’s hurry up and see Father. On my way back, I heard some news. I’m afraid things have changed.” From the looks of it, Nanjiang did not make any preparations. Under such circumstances, once Ye Lan invaded, Nanjiang would definitely be annihilated. At this moment, Mu Linghua was extremely anxious.

Looking at his younger sister’s anxious expression, Mu Ling Feng also sensed the seriousness of the situation and did not delay any longer. He hurriedly ordered people to carry Emperor Ye Lan into the carriage and lead everyone to the Southern Region Palace.

The two siblings walked into the palace and saw Prince Nanjiang reading the memorials on the chair. They didn’t dare to neglect him at all and quickly went forward to salute him, “Your son (daughter) greets father. Father Wang Wan’an.”

When King Nanjiang heard the noise, he looked up and saw that it was the two siblings. He raised his hand slightly and said, “Get up, right?”
