Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Seeing Mingqi taking Yuan Ruolan out of the palace gate, he turned around and said, "Sixth Master, please don't worry about my family affairs."

Jin Liu cursed and swore, but was caught by Bi'an and Jiuling. Even Chang Xin, who wanted to come forward to help, was captured. The master and servant were locked up tightly, unable to move, and could only watch him enter the palace alone.

Jin Liu was anxious and angry. He knew that the upright Bi An would be hard to persuade, so he turned to Jiu Ling and said, "Your master is such a fool. He has a ready-made prince but wants to use his small third-rank title to save him. Isn't this courting death?"

Jiu Ling said in a deep voice: "Sixth Master, please be at ease. My master ordered me to tell you that the current emperor is wise and will not necessarily vent his anger on innocent people. It is precisely because this matter involves the royal bloodline that you must not get involved. Sixth Master grew up with him since childhood. He is a man of loyalty and courage. The master has long instructed us not to let Sixth Master go before the death knell rings."

"Stupid thing!" Jin Liu scolded, "Your master is stupid, I don't know what's in his head all day long! Don't you know what my father's temper is? Let me go!"

Jiuling hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to loosen his hands or mouth. He just looked at Jin Liu with a dull look.

Jin Liu knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry! If there is anyone in this imperial city who has the best relationship with me, it's my eldest brother! If I go to my eldest brother and ask him for help, he will definitely not watch everyone being punished!"

"Sixth Master, you are really smart all your life, but you are foolish for a moment." A clear female voice came from the dark alley behind, attracting everyone's attention. But the woman just hid in the shadows and did not show up. She whispered, "If you really go to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, it will be a waste of Master Hong's efforts."

"Who are you!" Jin Liu was angry and looked inside with his neck tilted. It was embarrassing enough to be held by two guys, and now there came a nosy guy who wanted to know what was going on, which made him even more unhappy.

The person inside did not answer, but continued, "Now that His Royal Highness Changsun has just passed away and the Empress's life and death are uncertain, Lord Hong went to plead for mercy in a rage, out of consideration for his wife's family. When Lord Hong was stationed in Yongning Guard before, he reported that the Yuan family provided medical treatment and medicine in the local area and supported the front line. His wife even subsidized the family herself and properly placed the wounded and sick. When the emperor read the report that day, he was overjoyed and said he would reward the Yuan family. Now that Lord Hong is risking his life to plead for mercy, the emperor will probably let the Yuan brothers go because of their loyalty to the emperor and their patriotism, and Hong Ze's outstanding military exploits."

Hearing this, Jin Liu fell silent.

The people inside obviously saw that the bullish temper had subsided, and their tone also softened. They continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the most popular choice, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the most outstanding. Their death was caused by the plague. But if Sixth Master rashly goes to plead for the imperial physician, things will become complicated... Even Lord Hong will be guilty of making friends with the princes to plot against his will. If things get out of hand, Empress Yuan and Fourteenth Master will also be implicated. Walking in this imperial city is full of dangers, and you need to be careful everywhere. I think Sixth Master knows this better than anyone else! You must not harm your brothers and implicate your mother because of your impulsiveness."

The visitor did not say everything, but Jin Liu knew in his heart that although his father's temper had improved a little now, he still cared about his eldest son and grandson the most. History books record that there was a bloodbath in the harem due to the fight for the throne, but that did not exist in their family, because from the very beginning, the eldest brother was the only prince. He stopped talking completely and lowered his head in thought.

The people inside saw it all clearly and seemed satisfied with the current situation. Only soft footsteps could be heard as they walked away.
