To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C118

Shi Anran didn’t know how to console him, and there was an odd look in her eyes: “Third Prince had been in the limelight twice in a row, and this time, he is definitely going to fight a beautiful battle and return. Now that the Ninth Prince has lost his power, the Crown Prince is missing an arm and a hand to help him come up with some ideas. If Third Prince is able to return victoriously, I believe that the officials will be able to decide on the choice of the Crown Prince. After all, the current Crown Prince does not have much to do.

Her words made Li Mu much happier, as he turned around and looked at her with shining eyes and said, “Anran, ever since you’ve been by my side, I’ve improved a lot.”

So this was how things went? The true great calamity was still far away, Shi Anran pursed her lips and formed a faint smile, “Has Third Prince’s injury recuperated already?”

“It’s not that serious!” He just pretended to be in bed for a few days.

Shi Anran knew it was going to be like this, but she did not expose him, and continued to speak: “I heard that young general has spies in her army, and was ambushed. This time, Third Prince has to be careful!”

Li Mu nodded his head, and laughed meaningfully: “Are you worried for me?”

“Since the Third Prince is Anran’s future backer, naturally, Anran has to worry about it.” She did not avoid her gaze and looked straight into his eyes.

Li Mu looked at her with a smile, feeling exceptionally satisfied. “It’s getting late, you should go back and rest early …”

After Shi Anran walked a few steps, she said in a low voice, “Be careful of Imperial Noble Consort Lan …”

Was it too late? Shi Anran smiled and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, news came from the palace that the Third Prince was about to lead his troops out for the battle. Everyone had always disagreed with what the Third Prince had to say, but this time, they could not figure it out.

After heading down, Shi Anran continued to head towards the Phoenix Nest Palace as usual. As soon as she walked in, a teacup flew towards him, and Shi Anran was no longer able to dodge it as it smashed into her forehead.

Li Ruolan narrowed his eyes, “What, are you still unwilling for me to let you come? Do you know what time it is now? ”

Shi Anran slowly raised her chin, only to see that the bead of blood on her forehead had continuously flowed down her face. The light in those eyes seemed to be capable of killing someone. Li Ruolan was scared witless by her gaze, and then, with a slightly dodgy look, she said. “I didn’t do it on purpose.

“Yes …” Shi Anran replied indifferently, and turned to leave.

“Stop, did I let you go?”

Shi Anran slowly turned around. She had an elegant posture but her voice was cold, “Then, Imperial Concubine, do you want Anran to do something like this?”

Seeing that the wound on her forehead was extremely shocking, Li Ruolan became annoyed and waved her hands: “Someone come, bandage her up so that she won’t hear that I was the one who bullied you again!”

Isn’t it? Shi Anran remained expressionless as she allowed the palace maid to fiddle with her forehead. In her previous life, she used a dragon to frame him, according to the temper of the Imperial Noble Consort Lan, he was afraid that she would not let go of such a good opportunity. She just did not know when she would make her move.

Now that Third Prince was no longer by his side, Xiang Rongcheng would not be able to return for a while. If something were to happen to her at a time like this, who would save her? Third Prince, perhaps even he would not help to save his? Thinking about it, Shi Anran only felt that it was somewhat ironic. He wanted to help someone who wholeheartedly control his, and it just so happened that he was just using him, which was even between the two of them.

“Shi Anran, you injured yourself this time. I didn’t touch you, so I advise you to speak with caution in front of the emperor. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences …” Li Ruolan said as she looked at her with a fake smile.

“Little sister, what are you talking about? What kind of consequences can’t be endured?” Imperial Noble Consort Zhao slowly walked over, accompanied by a group of palace maids.

Li Ruolan was enraged: “You bunch of dog slaves. When Sister Zhao arrived, no one informed me.

“Empress, please calm your anger!” The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing that, the Imperial Noble Consort Zhao gently said: “Little sister, why do you need to do this? I have always disliked these things and am used to being low-key. Naturally, I don’t like being informed either.

Hearing that, Li Ruolan could only force herself to suppress her anger, she then took a deep breath and said with a smile that was not a smile: “Big sister, you aren’t coming here this time, you aren’t thinking of taking my people away again, are you?”

“Oh? Why would my sister say that? ” Imperial Noble Consort Zhao stood there for a long time but no one came to give her a chair, so she walked over and gracefully sat down.

“Hmph …”

Imperial Noble Consort Zhao said gently, “The empress’ birthday is here. Elder sister is here to ask Little Sister Lan if you have any plans!”

“Empress …” Li Ruolan was even more unconcerned. This empress, who rarely came out to walk around the palace, posed no threat to her at all.

Shi Anran quietly left the place and began to clean the interior and exterior of the Phoenix Maiden Palace. She was not interested in listening to their topics.

After a day of hard work, she was so tired that she could not even straighten her back. Xiu Er helped her apply the ointment, “Master, there is no need to agree, according to the Emperor’s trust and love for master, as long as master says the word, you can definitely return to the Palace.”

Although she said that, Shi Anran didn’t want to start a fight with them at this time, in case the one who suffered in the end had to eat him. Lying on the bed, she slowly closed her eyes, enjoying this rare moment of leisure. “Xiu Er, what’s the date now?”

“Mistress, it’s the end of the month!”

“Mm …” That means Xiang Rongcheng will be back for another half a month? I hope nothing happens to them.

The battle ahead was still going smoothly. The reinforcements led by Third Prince blocked the enemy’s retreat path, and attacked the young general from the front and back. This battle was considered a victory, and there were a few more fierce battles.

At this time, Li Mu looked towards Xiang Rongcheng who was in the army camp. Didn’t they say he was heavily injured? After feeling his gaze, Xiang Rongcheng walked over and cupped his hands: “Third Prince is indeed mighty, and doesn’t seem to be the same as the rumors?”

“Is that so? Since when did the young general listen to such false rumors? ”

Xiang Rongcheng did not like wasting time talking to others, so he took out the battle map that he had chased out the entire night: “Although the enemy troops have retreated, our city is still in their hands. Look at this blueprint, if there are no problems, we can wait for the soldiers to recuperate and make a big fuss!”

It has to be said that this battle diagram is very perfect, even Li Mu started to admire him, but the man in front of him is a man with courage and scheming, if he can be of use to me …

“That’s right, the young general’s plan is perfect. I believe that we can win for sure!” Li Mu praised. Noticing that the people washing the horses had quietly retreated, the two looked at each other and smiled.

“This time, I will definitely find out who the traitor is!” The reason why Xiang Rongcheng was injured was naturally to make the enemy think that they did not have a leader, but they did not know that they had fallen into a trap.
