Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking of some of the things Su Yun had said.

At that time, the Duke of Liu brought a member of the imperial family to his residence and then presented him with a virgin.

It seems this member of the imperial family is most likely Prince Rong.

After Liu Guogong was taken into custody by the Dali Temple, Prince Rong never bothered Xiao Yu, perhaps because Liu Guogong had become a discarded pawn and was no longer important.

Why are they suddenly targeting me again?

Because of Jin Mulan!

Jin Mulan was the first female general of the Great Xia Dynasty. This female general, who was no less capable than any man, had more military achievements than Bai Tianhao and others, and her reputation was even more resounding.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly understood... Prince Rong was not only jealous, but also because Jin Mulan was an extremely important pawn.

When Jin Mulan was at the General's Mansion, Jin Yanfeng said with great excitement: "His Majesty only has this one younger brother, and he treats Prince Rong very well. If you marry Prince Rong and have children, they will be of pure royal blood."

The late emperor had many children, but his favorites were Wu Xuanhuang and Prince Rong.

Unfortunately, Prince Rong was not cut out to be emperor. He was a prince who was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. His favorite things to do every day were gambling, playing with women, going to the brothel, the moon-embracing pavilion, and even the pleasure quarters!

Therefore, the late emperor passed the throne to Wu Xuanhuang, but with one condition: that Wu Xuanhuang should choose one of the sons of Prince Rong as the crown prince twenty years later.

If Jin Mulan marries Prince Rong and has children, she may have the opportunity to be named crown prince and eventually become emperor.

Wu Xuanhuang was clearly not an ambitious woman, and she might not pass the throne to Prince Rong's son in the future.

If Prince Rong could marry Jin Mulan, his status as a prince, combined with Jin Mulan... might make the Empress wary and appoint their child as the Crown Prince!

Therefore, when I went to Jin Mulan's General's Mansion to propose marriage, it was as if I had touched Prince Rong's sore spot. It would be strange if he didn't deal with me!

In an instant, Xiao Yu understood everything.
