Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 93

Chapter 93 An Empty City
Then he looked at Mu Lingfeng and asked, “Didn’t this king ask you to send Ling Hua to Ye Lan to get married? Why did you bring her back?”

Prince Nanjiang’s handsome face carried a hint of dissatisfaction. He knew that the two siblings were born to a mother and had a good relationship since childhood. Could it be that Mu Ling Feng was reluctant to part with his sister and brought Mu Ling Hua back? This Prince Nanjiang was handsome, but his heart was vicious. In his eyes, there were no relatives. In his eyes, there were only useful and useless people. Those who could not listen to his arrangements were undoubtedly useless people. Therefore, he was immediately dissatisfied with the two siblings.

Seeing that King Nanjiang’s expression was not very good, Mu Lingfeng hurriedly explained, “Reporting to father, I have indeed sent Ling Hua into the Yelan Kingdom’s Crown Prince’s Mansion. However, there were some accidents in the middle, so Ling Hua had no choice but to flee back to Nanjiang. I was also chased away from Yelan by Huyan Mingshuo.”

After escaping from Ye Lan, “I went to the Great Chen Kingdom on the way. When I arrived, I discovered that the prices in the Great Chen Kingdom were rising rapidly. I felt that this matter was very strange, so I rushed back to report it to my father. I didn’t want to. Just as I stepped into the Crown Prince’s Mansion, I heard that Ling Hua had also escaped to the southern border. So I went to pick her up and go back to the palace to see my father.”

After Mu Lengfeng finished speaking, Mu Lenghua also continued, “Father, after Brother Wang sent my daughter into the Crown Prince’s Mansion, my daughter …” Mu Lenghua had no choice but to say, ‘”Father, my daughter has also brought the Emperor of Ye Lan. However, he is currently in a coma. My daughter thinks that if my father can save him, he can bring the Son of Heaven to order the dukes. Isn’t Ye Lan also in our hands?”

When the Southern Border King heard his siblings’ words, his expression also eased a little. He then looked at Mu Lenghua and asked, “Why is he unconscious?”

“Father, according to my daughter’s observation, it is very likely that he was caught by the Soul Devouring Gu.” Mu Lenghua wasn’t sure. After all, she was unconscious at that time. She didn’t know what happened to the Emperor. Then, she told Prince Nanjiang the news she had heard on the way back. “Father, when my daughter fled, she heard that Ye Lan was preparing for war all over the country. My daughter reckons that they are preparing to attack our southern border. I hope father will make preparations early.”

When King Nanjiang heard this, He couldn’t help but frown. If Yelan really did attack, Nanjiang was probably really hard to resist, Fortunately, the Great Wei was now completely under Shu Fei’s control, and the Emperor of Yelan was also in their hands. As long as they were able to wake up the Emperor, he did not believe that Yelan’s soldiers could ignore his life. Besides, with the support of the Great Wei Kingdom, it was not impossible for Nanjiang to win against Yelan.

He then said to Mu Ling Hua and the other two siblings, “Well, if it’s the Soul Devouring Gu, then it would be quite troublesome. However, in order to control Ye Lan, this king will definitely try to revive the Emperor of Ye Lan. Ling Hua, you can go down and rest first. Ling Feng, immediately instruct people to keep an eye on Ye Lan’s movements. If anything happens, immediately report it to me.”

The Mu Ling Feng siblings hurriedly replied, “Yes, I will follow the decree.” However, just as the two of them were about to leave, a soldier ran in with a grim face and reported, “Reporting to the king, this is bad. Something big has happened.”

Prince Nanjiang frowned as he looked at the soldier and asked, “Why are you so panicked?”

The soldier hurriedly handed over a letter from Ye Lan. “Reporting to the king, Ye Lan has issued credentials like every other country, “They are denouncing our Southern Border, saying that Princess Ling Hua sent people to kidnap Emperor Ye Lan and the Crown Prince of Ye Lan also captured a few assassins from the Southern Border. They have already escorted them to the Southern Border. They even executed those assassins in front of the soldiers stationed at the border and demanded that the Southern Border hand over Emperor Ye Lan, otherwise they would have flattened the Southern Border.”

After the Southern Border King heard this, He took the credentials from the soldier and opened them. He said with a dissatisfied expression, “How dare you? Yelan Country bullies people too much. Ling Hua, how could you be so careless? You actually let them catch someone alive. Now that you’ve caused so much trouble for Nanjiang, you should stay in your own bedroom for a while and reflect on yourself.”

According to the Southern Border King’s thoughts, Mu Linghua had brought such great trouble to the Southern Border and deserved to be punished. However, because she and Emperor Yelan were both in the same heart, if he saved Emperor Yelan, he still needed her to control Emperor Yelan. Therefore, the Southern Border King could only house arrest Mu Linghua.

Mu Ling Hua also knew that because of his carelessness at that time, he had left a living person behind, allowing Huyan Mingshuo to catch him. Only now would he cause such trouble. Therefore, he did not dare to refute, and could only accept his fate and say, “Yes, daughter obeys.” Afterwards, she quietly went back to her own bedroom.

Afterwards, the Southern Border King looked at Mu Lingfeng and said, “Go down and prepare for the battle at any time. Also, quickly send someone to contact Sun Shuyi and ask her to prepare a large amount of grain for the war in Southern Border.”

“Yes, son.” It had always been Mu Lingfeng who contacted Sun Shuyi directly. Because Mu Lingfeng had been focusing on Ye Lan and Da Chen recently, he didn’t know that Da Wei had already reached a point where there was no market for them. No matter how much money you had, you wouldn’t be able to buy anything.

Therefore, after Mu Lingfeng returned to his mansion, he immediately arranged for someone to contact Sun Shuyi, who was in the Great Wei Kingdom, to convey Prince Nanjiang’s intentions to her and let her handle it quickly.

At this time, Fu Yingran was listening to Zhou Qing and the others’ reports in Yelan’s Crown Prince’s Mansion. “Young miss, a month ago, according to your instructions, I informed the Heavenly Yizhuang headquarters in the Great Wei Empire to immediately evacuate to the Great Chen Kingdom. Now, all the houses that should be evacuated have been evacuated, and the remaining houses and shops have been sold.”

The Old Manor Mistress and Manor Mistress had already set off for Ye Lan. Now, the Great Wei Kingdom was empty, and it was an empty city. Zhou Qing had been dealing with the transfer without stopping ever since receiving Fu Yingran’s order. He had been running around day and night for more than a month, and now he could finally pay Fu Yingran his bills.

Fu Yingran’s stomach was already almost seven months old, She rubbed her stomach and leaned against the chair. While listening to Zhou Qing’s report, After hearing Zhou Qing’s words, She nodded and said, “Very well, it’s been hard on you, Next, we’ll send people to other countries, “First, we need to buy a large amount of local real estate and then we need to think of a way to monopolize the local economy. Once Nanjiang is ready to attack, we will withdraw and leave them with an empty city. Next, no matter which country Nanjiang is going to attack, we will use this method. No matter if it is novel or not, as long as it can defeat the enemy, it will be a good method.”

After Zhou Qing heard this, he couldn’t help but feel the same way as Nalan Jinhong. He also decided that he must not offend Fu Yingran in the future. Her revenge was too crazy, and it would definitely make you regret it for life. Step by step, not only would all the countries fall into her hands, it would also easily drive the entire Southern Region crazy.

Moreover, once the economies of all nations were in her hands, In the future, if Huyan Mingshuo wanted to disappoint her, he would be afraid. At that time, even if he conquered the whole world, as long as Fu Yingran cut off his economic lifeline, Ye Lan would still be paralyzed. Therefore, Fu Yingran’s plan was a one-off one. She could help you obtain the whole world, but your lifeline was in her hands.

Actually, no wonder she would do this. If she did not take advantage of the fact that she did not leave a path for her to retreat now, once Huyan Mingshuo really changed her mind in the future, she would be powerless to fight back. As the Eldest Miss of the Heavenly Villa, the Heavenly Villa would surely attract the suppression of the Ye Lan Imperial Court at that time.

Therefore, Fu Yingran’s hair was actually another form of protection for Tianyi Villa. Therefore, Zhou Qingming knew that this was Fu Yingran’s ambition or that he would carry out every order she gave without hesitation. Thus, he immediately agreed, “Yes, Eldest Miss, this subordinate will give the order. Do as Eldest Miss wishes.” As Zhou Qing spoke, he retreated to the side and stood.

“Yes, it’s been hard on you.” Then she looked at Jin’er and Cui’er and said, “Cui’er, help Zhou Qing do what I told you. The crops in the farm can’t be cut off, so plant them in time. Once the war starts, food will be the key to victory. I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince to allocate more land and people for you. Work harder and arrange for people to cultivate.”

“As for Jin’er, you should first help Nalan Jinhong gather intelligence from all over the world. However, there is one thing to note. Only a small portion of our people are exposed to him. Remember, the Tian Clan has no true feelings. We need to leave a path for ourselves at all times to avoid being stranded and waiting for death.” Huyan Mingshuo was not in the manor today, that was why she said such words.

Perhaps in modern times, I’ve read too many time travel novels, Seeing that many female masters were wholeheartedly supporting the male masters to obtain the world, In the end, the male lead snatched away all the powers in her hands, She had no choice but to take precautions. If Huyan Mingshuo could do what he said and not let her down for the rest of her life, she would leave all the powers in her hands to her own children. This could also be considered another form of compensation for him. If he really did lose to her, she would at least not lose too miserably.

“Yes, Crown Princess, this servant will remember.” She originally did not approve of working with Nalan Jinhong. After all, exposing her privacy to others was a very awkward thing to do.

‘”Alright, alright, let’s do this for now. You all have things to do, so I won’t leave you here any longer. Remember, all of us will suffer losses and glory. Therefore, we must act cautiously. The power in our hands must not be completely exposed. As long as we can sustain this war, we will be able to proceed smoothly.” Fu Yingran was most worried about Jin’er.

After all, Nalan Jinhong was an elegant young master. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and reveal her background. She had heard that Nalan Jinhong had always been looking for Jin’er to travel for no reason. The thoughts of these people in the royal family were not simple. Fu Yingran was afraid that Jin’er would be deceived by him and hand over all the powers in her hands. At that time, none of them would be able to retreat.

Huyan Mingshuo had already told her, This Nalan Jinhong was the only bloodline left behind by the previous Crown Prince. Huyan Mingshuo’s cousin was also a member of the Yelan Imperial Family. The feelings of the people from the Imperial Family were very complicated. They did not have pure feelings. Moreover, he carried such a deep hatred towards Jin’er. That was why she was worried about Jin’er, afraid that she would be hurt, and at the same time put everyone in danger.

After hearing this, the three of them tacitly said, “We all know what to do. Please rest assured, Crown Princess.”

Jin’er also raised her head to look at Fu Yingran. She also noticed that Nalan Jinhong’s motives towards her were not pure recently. It seemed that she would definitely leave him in the future. How could she not know that the royal family had no true feelings for her? She was in charge of gathering intelligence. Of course, she could find out about Nalan Jinhong’s background. Therefore, she had already known that Nalan Jinhong was Huyan Mingshuo’s cousin. She knew that such a person was not someone she could climb high up, otherwise, she would probably suffer both physical and mental damage.

“En, then you guys should go back first. His Highness the Crown Prince is about to return to the manor. I hope you all will remember our conversation today and rot in your stomachs. After all, we are dealing with people from the royal family. We are undoubtedly trying to conspire with a tiger.” Fu Yingran looked at the three of them and gave them another solemn explanation.

“Yes, then let’s go first.” As they spoke, the three of them left the Crown Prince’s Mansion and went to work.
