Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

He was so happy that he answered her question, "The current emperor is about to gain power, and the Duke of Guo has made great contributions. Three years ago, the military power was reduced, and the Duke of Wei handed it over without a word. At that time, the Crown Princess's brother Liu Yongsheng took over the military power and went north to fight the enemy. In three years, he drove the enemy thousands of miles away and received frequent victories."

Anan listened carefully, clutched his jade pendant tightly, and looked at him with his big watery eyes.

He smiled and said, "Half a year ago, Liu Yongsheng was suddenly stabbed. Although he saved his life, he was in a coma for several months and almost caused the entire northern expedition army to be destroyed. Fortunately, his deputy general resisted and saved him. When the news came, the emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation of the assassin. Who would have thought that the assassin was actually the Tatar Princess Changguo."

Anan was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "As an assassin, how can a princess admit her identity even if the assassination attempt failed?"

"When Liu Yongsheng was pursuing the defeated Mirji tribe, he unexpectedly captured the fourth Ordo of Tatar. The woman was from the Mirji tribe and was the biological mother of Princess Changguo. Liu Yongsheng was bad because he was lustful. When he captured the Ordo, he did not report it, but instead imprisoned and humiliated her in private. After the woman committed suicide due to the humiliation, he dumped her body in the wilderness in an attempt to cover up the truth. Unexpectedly, a slave risked his life to escape. Princess Changguo was furious, so she took advantage of the situation and showed off her sex appeal to lure Liu Yongsheng into his trap." He lingered on her slippery waist, but she was listening so seriously that she didn't notice and just found it funny.

"So, this matter can no longer be covered up because the commander-in-chief is seriously injured. Even if Liu Yongsheng recovers, he can no longer continue to lead the Northern Expedition Army." After hearing what he said, Anan instantly understood that Liu Yongsheng's bad behavior would affect the entire Northern Expedition Army and even the reputation of the prince.

He smiled, lowered his head and rubbed his nose against her cheek, and couldn't help but suck on her cheek.

Anan added, "So, the emperor set his sights on the founding hero, the Duke of Wei. This is what the prince said. If he was asked to give up the military power, he would give it up. If he was asked to take charge of the Northern Expedition Army, he would take charge. The emperor was worried about the military power falling into the hands of outsiders, so he reduced the Duke of Wei's military power. Now that he has let him take charge of the military power again, he must still be worried, so he can only make the Yu family into royal relatives."

"Yes." He lifted her chin, kissed her on the lips, and held her tighter.

“But why is it the Sixth Prince instead of the Crown Prince?” These days, it seems that the Crown Prince is in the limelight and there is no doubt that he will inherit the throne in the future. If one wants to appease the Yu family, the Crown Prince is the most suitable candidate.

"Because Jin Liu is the only adult prince who has not married a principal wife." He smiled even more broadly. "Duke Wei lost his wife at an early age, and he really loves Miss Yu. Naturally, he doesn't want to wrong his daughter. What's more, Miss Yu is extremely intelligent, so she is even more unwilling to enter the palace."

Anan was speechless for a long time and fell into silence.

"That's not all." Hong Ze added, "In order to investigate corruption, Jin Liu has almost dealt with all the officials in the capital. Now his reputation as a cruel official has spread like wildfire, and there are impeachment memorials submitted to him every day. If there is no support from the Duke of Wei's Mansion, the corruption will be difficult to continue."

"Jin Liu may be carefree and unrestrained, but he still knows the major issues concerning the country. He is determined to marry Miss Yu anyway." When Hong Ze said this, he quietly moved his body, pressed her under him, and buried his head in kissing her neck.

He loved her snow-white, tender neck, which was so soft and fragrant when chewed that it aroused his animal instincts.

From this point of view, Jin Liu marrying Yu Ran and the prince marrying Huaizhu are similar in nature.
