Three years ago, Ling Chong was just a young recruit in the army.
He followed the commander to launch a surprise attack on Donghu, but almost faced total annihilation due to a spy in the army.
Ling Chong escaped on a fast horse, but his injuries were severe, nearly costing him his life.
After he escaped back to the city, he was saved by a merchant.
The merchant's daughter was named Yuanyuan, she was beautiful and lovely, taking care of Ling Chong during his days of injury.
Ling Chong had never experienced love before, but during his time with Yuanyuan, he gradually developed feelings for her, and the two shared a period of beautiful but hazy time together.
Later, when Ling Chong returned to his unit and went out on a military expedition, upon his return to the city, Yuanyuan was nowhere to be found.
No matter how hard he searched throughout the city, he couldn't find any trace of Yuanyuan.
Now, three years have passed, and he still hasn't given up on finding Yuanyuan.
As for these past events, I knew about them from my previous life.
The reason why Yuanyuan's family disappeared without a trace was because Yuanyuan's father was framed by a rival family, leading to a scheme that bankrupted him, ultimately leading to Yuanyuan's father committing suicide.
Later, in order to protect her only daughter, Yuanyuan's mother took her and fled the city overnight to escape debts.
In my previous life, Ling Chong found Yuanyuan in the Jiangnan area and exchanged his military achievements for a marriage granted by the emperor, welcoming Yuanyuan into his home.
However, due to the jealousy and schemes of Feng Yu, Yuanyuan and Ling Chong were married for only three years before she died in childbirth.
So in this life, I intend to use these events to align myself with Ling Chong.
So I exclaimed, "This pendant was a gift from my friend Yuanyuan. General Ling, do you know Yuanyuan?"
"Of course. Where is Yuanyuan?"
Upon hearing this, I scrutinized Ling Chong for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Could it be... you are the warrior that Yuanyuan spoke of, the one she had feelings for? And this pendant, did you give it to her?"
"Has Yuanyuan mentioned me to you?"
"I have been friends with Yuanyuan for many years, so I naturally know about her. I just didn't expect that the somewhat foolish warrior she mentioned would turn out to be General Ling, which truly surprises me."
Ling Chong, excitedly, asked, "Then tell me, where is Yuanyuan?"
"And what will you do once you find Yuanyuan?"
"Naturally, I will ask the emperor for permission to marry her and welcome Yuanyuan into our home."
Upon hearing this, I smiled and said, "General, can't you see that the princess has deep feelings for you?"
Ling Chong furrowed his brows, "It's impossible between the princess and me. Even if I wanted to marry the princess, the emperor would not allow it."
"But you are often away at war and may not know how difficult Feng Yu can be. I am a princess's companion, favored by the prince, yet I am constantly bullied and humiliated by Feng Yu. If a delicate woman like Yuanyuan truly captures Feng Yu's beloved, how do you think she will react? Not to mention, three years ago, you lost Yuanyuan, showing that your words are not entirely trustworthy. As Yuanyuan's friend, I cannot stand by and watch her walk into a fire pit. So General, from now on, stop thinking about Yuanyuan."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chong became anxious, "Since you are Yuanyuan's friend, you naturally know about our feelings for each other. Whether she wants to see me or not should be her decision, you cannot make it for her."
After pondering for a while, I said, "In that case, do me a favor, if you can accomplish this task, it will benefit you, me, and Yuanyuan."
"What task?"
"Spread the fame of Princess Feng Yu at the border between Donghu and Qingchang City."
"Why?"
Upon hearing this, I looked at Ling Chong with a knowing smile, "General should understand better than I."
Ling Chong was somewhat puzzled, "How do you know that the Donghu envoy wants to come to the capital to seek the princess? Are you asking me to spread Princess Feng Yu's fame to manipulate Donghu into seeking Princess Feng Yu?"
"Exactly. It's beneficial for all of us if Feng Yu leaves the capital."
In the previous life, Da Liang and Donghu were at peace, but Donghu, relying on its strong military, used the pretext of visiting the capital to seek the princess.
In the end, the emperor granted them the sixth princess, Princess Feng Xi, born of a noble consort.
Poor Princess Feng Xi was gentle and kind, but after just one year of marriage, she was tortured to death.
Later, after Da Liang recovered, they launched a military campaign and conquered Donghu, forcing the Donghu people to submit and not dare to rebel. However, Princess Feng Xi could never return.
This time, let's just let Feng Yu go.
