Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"I heard that the Sixth Prince is very arrogant and looks down on her. Not only did he refuse the marriage in front of the emperor, he also ran to her house and broke off the engagement in person. Shouldn't she wish that the Sixth Prince would die without a burial place? How could it be?" Huan'er was surprised.

"This is Miss Yu's cleverness." Huaizhu whispered, "The emperor has just ordered the death penalty for Prince Mian and his family, but he only detained the Sixth Prince and said that he would re-examine and sentence him. It is obvious that he has no intention of executing him, but he is unable to save face because of the public opinion. Now, the kindness of the youngest daughter of Duke Weiguo has saved not only the life of the prince, but also the dignity of the royal family."

Huan'er was amazed: "She looks young, but she has such insight and courage!"

Huaizhu said lazily: "Of course, otherwise how could she be called the female Zhuge?"

Huan'er rolled her eyes and smiled flatteringly, "No matter how smart she is, she can't even compare to the Queen in my eyes!"

Huaizhu turned around and glanced at her, without saying anything, and just walked forward.

Huan'er stuck out her tongue and hurriedly followed.

Hearing the imperial edict being passed on, Hongze and Jinyun, who had been waiting in the Imperial Hospital, breathed a sigh of relief. Jin Liu was not imprisoned, but was locked up in a side hall to the side of the prince's study, with fully armed imperial guards standing at the door.

Hongze took out the badge he carried with him and said that the Sixth Prince was not feeling well and wanted to bring the imperial physician in for treatment. He slipped in very easily.

Jin Liu lazily slumped on a stool, drinking wine. He was a little tipsy, with two blushes on his fair cheeks, which made his skin look even whiter than snow and his appearance even more proud.

Jinyun said with a sigh, "Your Excellency has saved his life by relying on this good complexion."

Jin Liu had heard about Yu Ran a long time ago. He raised his head and drank a glass of wine. Suddenly he leaned over and looked at Hong Ze. He asked very seriously: "Can you tell me what it feels like to marry someone you like?"

"Your Highness, when I got married, I was still in the army of Yongning Guard, and I didn't have any feelings." Hongze snatched the wine jug from his hand and looked at her with a frown.

"Then let me ask another question." Jin Liu did not give up and asked, "How does it feel to marry someone you like?"

Hongze looked at him without saying anything.

"Good question." Jinyun also joined in the fun, snatched the wine pot from his hand, took a sip of wine from the pot, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Hongze patted Jin Liu's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You have no choice now."

Jin Liu nodded, with a bitter smile on his face: "How could I not know? I just wanted to complain, could you please not remind me?"

"It's actually not that bad." Jinyun took another sip of wine and smiled at Jin Liu. "Your princes' marriages have never been decided by themselves. Take the Crown Prince for example. His status is already the highest among all the princes, but he was forced to marry Huaizhu?"

Hongze nudged him with his elbow, and Jinyun smiled: "It's okay, those outside are all your people."

Hongze sighed softly and felt a little depressed when he looked at Jin Liu who looked like a puddle of mud.

Jin Liu has always been unruly in his sitting and standing posture, but always with a hint of cynicism and playfulness, but he has never been so low-key.

"He can't even do his job properly, and a woman has to risk her life to save him!" Jin Liu was disappointed, with a sneer on his face, "Have you ever seen such a cowardly prince?"
