Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

The emperor came walking on the snow, with only Cheng Ju by his side. A servant had already reported in detail everything that had happened in the Imperial Concubine's Palace that day. He walked quickly with a blank expression on his face.

As soon as she entered the palace, the maids knelt on the ground. Huaizhu stood up clumsily with her big belly, knelt on the ground very devoutly, and said, "Greetings to my father."

With the emperor's instruction, Cheng Ju personally went to help her, saying with a smile, "My Lady Concubine, watch your stomach."

Huaizhu thanked her repeatedly and stood behind Concubine Jin very obediently.

The emperor looked at Concubine Jin, who winked at him and looked towards the inner hall.

"Ran'er is here?" The emperor didn't hear any movement inside, so he sat down, took the hot tea handed to him by the maid, and took two sips.

Concubine Jin didn't say anything, but just stood there silently.

Huaizhu knelt down again. When Chengju was about to help her up, she said very sadly, "Father, please have mercy! This was originally the idea of ​​the Crown Prince. The Sixth Prince is now in prison and is being criticized by thousands of people. It is also the Crown Prince's fault. The Crown Prince's fault is the fault of his daughter-in-law. Father, please have mercy and spare the Sixth Prince!"

Concubine Jin took a deep look at Huaizhu who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the emperor.

The emperor's eyes were deep, and it was impossible to tell whether he liked her or not. She then silently took a step forward, helped Huaizhu up, and said with a smile, "The baby in your belly is our royal bloodline, so you must be careful."

Huaizhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, leaned on Concubine Jin's shoulder, and shed tears silently.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the beaded curtain inside. Yu Ran, who was pale and lifeless, was helped out from inside. He stumbled to his knees and fell to the ground, crying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please! Please!"

The emperor's expression changed, Cheng Ju hurried forward to support her, but she refused to get up, and only cried again: "Your Majesty, I know you have been working hard for state affairs recently, and you are very worried, but this is my life's work. I know he has committed a serious mistake, you can beat him, scold him, and demote him, but please don't keep him in the palace like this! Please let him go! Please!"

"This child..." The emperor stood up and walked in front of her. Cheng Ju hurriedly pulled her up.

Yu Ran burst into tears, her whole body was shaking, and she looked pitiful.

The emperor walked up to her and said in a deep voice: "Ran'er, it was my foolish son who wronged you! If you don't want to, you can issue an order to cancel the engagement now."

Yu Ran's tears kept flowing down, and she cried, "Your Majesty, I have admired Yunda for a long time. No matter whether he is a prince or a commoner, I only want to spend my life with him. Please grant my wish, Your Majesty!"

The emperor sighed softly, looked up at the sky, and whispered to Cheng Ju: "Pass on my decree, this commoner will marry Yu Ran, the daughter of the Duke of Wei, within three days!"

Yu Ran thanked him repeatedly and sincerely.

Concubine Jin wiped her tears, pulled Yu Ran and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you, child."

Huaizhu was supported by Huan'er as she went to the East Palace. Huan'er whispered, "Madam, did Miss Yu's head get squeezed by the door?"

"What do you mean?" Huaizhu's face was calm. He took small steps and walked quietly, as if he was asking out of boredom.

"When the Sixth Prince was in his prime, he always wanted to cancel the engagement, but she was never so anxious. But now that the Sixth Prince has fallen on hard times and has been demoted to a commoner, she didn't take the opportunity to get rid of this marriage, and in the end she is even asking for a marriage?"

"Our female Zhuge is indeed a smart person." Huaizhu chuckled, "Now that she has come forward to ask for a marriage, the Sixth Prince's life will be saved."
