Not Idiot Princesses

Woman Named Mu Jiangyu

Nightfall.

Lin Jian and Wang Xi arrived at the military camp. They were warmly welcomed by some soldiers especially by General Thang Su, as the leader of the camp.

Upon arrival, Lin Jian went straight to a room and asked General Thang Su to come over to talk about something. Hearing that, General Thang Su frowned. He had already guessed what Lin Jian would do to him.

Inside the room, Lin Jian and General Thang Su sat facing each other. Just the two of them and there was no one else there.

"It is rare for a second Prince to come to a military camp let alone these nights. Is there an important issue that needs to be resolved immediately?" ask General Thang Su.

"General Thang Su's guess was very accurate, as always. I came to the camp because there was something I wanted to ask. I hope, General Thang can cooperate in answering him," replied Lin Jian.

General Thang smiled with one corner of his lips raised. Then Lin Jian said, "i won't mince words anymore. My question is ... General Thang, do you know a woman named ... Mu Jiangyu?"

General Thang who had been smiling suddenly changed his facial expression when he heard the name spoken by Lin Jian.

"D-where did you know about that name?" he asked with shock on his face.

"That's not important. I want to hear your answer."

General Thang lowered his head with a still equal expression. He replied, "i .. can't tell."

His answer left Lin Jian disappointed, yet he was unwilling to give up so easily. His cold facial sharpness slowly changed, a calmness could be seen on his face now.

"He should be a little provoked, only able to tell the truth," Lin Jian inner then took out a teacup then sipped it in the middle of the conversation.

"Mu Jiangyu, an Oiran (mojang in a brothel) from a brothel located on the edge of the capital. One day he accidentally met the Emperor's father and married him. When you see it, you fall in love and snatch-"

"That's not true!" General Thang interrupted Lin Jian's words. "Mu Jiangyu is not an Oiran! She's a good woman!" said later.

Lin Jian was surprised to hear his words. Didn't think General Thang was defending his mother that way.

General Thang had just realized the words he had just said. He returned silent while bowing his head.

Seeing that, Lin Jian asked, "why don't you want to tell me about that Mu Jiangyu? Or maybe .. What I just said is the truth?"

General Thang remained silent. He looked very agitated and frightened. In the midst of his doubt, he began to open his mouth. "Mu Jiangyu .. The first time I met him was during the war 20 years ago. He was a medical volunteer" he said.

"She's a nice girl, cheerful, and has a very warm smile. I fell in love with her ...."

Lin Jian listened carefully to General Thang's past stories with his mother whom he had never known.

"On the battlefield, I was wounded quite badly. He was the one who stood at the very front while treating me, with a look of his anxious face. On the verge of awareness, I said in my heart, 'if I am given a chance to live, I want to live with it'." The story continues.

In the story, a few days passed.

General Thang finally regained consciousness. The war was won thanks to the crown prince (Current Emperor). It was then, thanks to the bravery of General Thang Su, that he obtained the title of General directly given by the crown prince.

On top of that happiness, General Thang ran at a very fast pace. He was about to meet Mu Jiangyu to share his happiness, but after looking for where, he could not find it.

No one had told him anything about where Mu Jiangyu had gone, and it had left him deeply disappointed and heartbroken. He buried his feelings for Mu Jiangyu from then on.

Once, the crown prince invited him to the Palace. It aims to discuss some things about war and others.

"Miss Mu, why are you here?" general Thang asked him.

Instead of replying, Mu Jiangyu instead dodged and left General Thang. However, Jendela Thang prevented him from leaving.

"When have you been here? Tell me!"

Mu Jiangyu sighed gloomily. He hesitantly raised his head to look at the General, then said, "Master Thang, I."

His words were like a sword piercing the heart of General Thang. It was even more painful to see Mu Jiangyu crying before him. "Mr Thang, I .. I don't want to get married. Because I actually love you," I Mu Jiangyu sobbed.

General Thang then hugged Mu Jiangyu. With a cold face he said, "Miss Mu, I love you too. I'll get you out of here. You don't have to get married if you don't want to."

Tetiba Mu Jiangyu pushed General Thang's body. "I-that couldn't have happened. You won't be able to take me away from here because .. someone who's gonna marry me is--"

"Miss Mu!" Someone called him from behind. When they looked, they found the crown prince standing there.

When he saw the crown prince there, Mu Jiangyu immediately shut up and lowered his head. While in front, the crown prince walked over.

General Thang bowed, "servant salutes, Your Majesty the crown prince."

"General Thang Su, it's getting late and you just arrived a while ago. I've asked the maid to prepare a room for you" said the crown prince, glancing in one direction.

"Hamba understands. Thank you, Your Majesty." General Thang nodded his head. Before stepping away, he glanced at Mu Jiangyu first.

"Miss Mu, I'm leaving first. We'll talk another time." After saying that, General Thang walked in the direction that the crown prince pointed out.

He felt something strange happening. Not far away, he looked back.

There he saw the crown prince take off his thick coat and put it on Mu Jiangyu. His hands embraced Mu Jiangyu's shoulders then they left together.

"Is it possible .. The person who will marry her is the crown prince?" inner General Thang.

What he feared was true happened. A few days later the crown prince's wedding party was held with a girl who was none other than Mu Jiangyu. He was disappointed and very surprised to find out.

His disappointment is no longer contained. He even refused to look at Mu Jiangyu's face. But the duties that the crown prince gave her required her to stay in the Palace for some time.

One day, after having finished discussing the military issue with several commanders and crown princes, General Thang accidentally met Mu Jiangyu again.

Mu Jiangyu was ashamed of himself and did not dare to look at General Thang. Likewise with General Thang who was further disappointed. When they cross paths, they do not greet each other and pass by.

However, the bandage on Mu Jiangyu's wrist made General Thang shocked. He stopped his footsteps and directly held onto Mu Jiangyu's hand to examine her.

"This ... what wound is this?" tanyakanya.

Mu Jiangyu did not answer and withdrew his hand. He turned his body and resumed his footsteps. "It is better that Mr. Thang do not see me again" Mu Jiangyu said.

General Thang again blocked Mu Jiangyu's arm from leaving. Then he said, "tell me! What the hell's going on? Why is your hand hurt?" It turned out that a speck of feeling was still in his heart.

Mu Jiangyu could not lie anymore. He cried and said, "the crown prince did it."
