That led to the later marriage alliance between the two countries, where only men of noble birth would be married.

To put it nicely, the Yan Emperor was a ruler who maintained the status quo, but his power was fragmented and his abilities were insufficient.

Even with all their efforts, they couldn't prevent their daughter from being sent to a marriage alliance.

No, he did not do nothing. Shortly after the marriage procession set off, he sent people to try to kidnap his daughter and create the illusion of an accident.

This way, the people of Yan will not be affected, and the daughter can be protected.

Unfortunately, the general saw through the plan, and the men sent to abduct the people were also intercepted and killed by the general and his men.

It was actually the time when the princess met the white fox.

The general even leaked the information to the Western Rong envoy, which enraged the envoy, who took the evidence and turned back to Great Yan overnight to question the Yan emperor about his intentions.

The plan failed completely, and the princess was married off to the Western Rong.

The returning general married the eldest princess. One day, he accidentally discovered that whenever news of the youngest princess's death arrived, the emperor would fall seriously ill.

He seemed to have come up with a way to get rid of the emperor: cooperate with the Western Rong, cede some of their interests, and secretly kill the little princess.

It caused the emperor to fall ill with worry.

One piece of bad news after another arrived, and the emperor fell ill.

Just as the plan was about to succeed, perhaps the little princess realized something, and chose to commit suicide, passing away before the Yan Emperor.

The general was furious.

The above is a summary by Ruan Xianxian, who embellished his image on the parchment scroll.

Phrases like "unavoidable" and "forced" appear repeatedly.

Ruan Xianxian tapped the white jade floor with her index finger. "The general's grand plan is nearing success. Why is he sending troops to attack the Western Rong to retrieve the princess's remains at this time?"

Doesn't this amount to a complete falling out with his godfather and facing negative repercussions? What's the point of him doing that?

The white fox's voice was shrill and mournful, each word dripping with blood, "Because... even in death, the princess did not let him go."
