Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

As night fell, the wind rushed in through the study window, causing the candlelight to flicker and dim. Heba Yun sat in the shadow, gradually feeling suffocated.

Bai Zhiyuan sneaked out. Tonight she was going to meet He Xiaowan with Heba Yun. She didn't expect that she would be able to meet He Xiaowan so soon. She was very surprised. But she still decided to find Xie Yunsong and tell him about it.

She has been in the Nanman Palace for more than half a month. Every time, it was Xie Yunsong who came to see her. This is the first time that she took the initiative to find Xie Yunsong.

She carefully avoided the crowd and came to where Xie Yunsong was working. From a distance, she saw Xie Yunsong. He was in disguise, not like his usual appearance, but he still exuded a cool temperament.

He looked like an ordinary guard, his tall and slender figure standing as straight as a pine tree in the night.

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly felt hot. He was the Yunhui General of Dali and had a noble birth, but for her, he stood guard here every day.

She slowly approached him, and Xie Yunsong soon spotted her. He said something to the person next to him, and soon came in her direction, pulling her to a deserted place.

"What happened?" Xie Yunsong asked hurriedly.

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head, "Don't worry. I just have something to tell you today."

Xie Yunsong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Zhiyuan narrated what happened in Heba Yun's study today.

After hearing this, Xie Yunsong frowned. He was not sure about Heba Yun's intention.

After a while, he asked, "Could it be that Heba Yun has already known your identity? Is he deliberately testing you?"

Bai Zhiyuan groaned and said, "I don't think so. But I can't guess what his intention is."

Xie Yunsong said worriedly, "With He Xiaowan's methods, if she finds out that you know about her affair, she will definitely not forgive you. Heba Yun must know that he never brings palace maids with him. I'm afraid he is cheating today. Ayuan, why don't we not go. I'll take you to sneak into He Xiaowan's bedroom and hold her hostage, and we can still get the antidote."

Bai Zhiyuan refused, "No! This is too risky. If He Xiaowan refuses to obey, you and I will be in danger."

"After much thought, I decided to go with Heba Yun tonight, no matter what he is up to. I can only know after I go. Besides, this is probably the only chance for me to enter He Xiaowan's bedroom. Although it may be dangerous, I have to give it a try."

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes and said, "If you are really worried about me, why don't you find a way to wait for me at the gate of He Xiaowan's palace. If there is any danger, I will call you."

Xie Yunsong still felt something was wrong. "He Xiaowan is good at using poison. What if you fall into her trap..."

Bai Zhiyuan was unsure, but she still wanted to give it a try. She said, "Before I left, Cheng Beixiao gave me some medicine, and I also took some medicine that Master gave me before he died. I have them all with me. And my current identity is just a palace maid. Why would He Xiaowan go to so much trouble to deal with me?"

Xie Yunsong wanted to say something, but Bai Zhiyuan looked up at the sky and said, "Time is running out, Xie Yunsong. I have to go tonight. Maybe I can get the antidote today."

Xie Yunsong sighed, knowing that she was determined to leave today, so he said, "I'll find a way to protect you, go ahead!"

Bai Zhiyuan felt relieved. She looked at him and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She glanced at him quickly again before turning around and hurried towards the prince's bedroom.

When Bai Zhiyuan just arrived at the prince's bedroom, it suddenly started raining outside.

The night grew darker.

Heba Yun stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and the raindrops outside hit his face.

The entire palace was shrouded in rain and fog. In the silent night, only a woman was quietly waiting for him.

This person is Bai Zhiyuan who just returned, and is now called Xinzhu.

Heba Yun was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had to take the palace maid with him tonight.

He thought to himself, "She doesn't know she's going to die."

The next moment, Bai Zhiyuan walked up to him and asked, "Prince, when are we leaving?"

Heba Yun was stunned at first, then he looked up and met Bai Zhiyuan's pure gaze, and a feeling of pity arose in his heart.

He suddenly frowned, unable to understand why he would have such an idea.

When he raised his eyes again, he no longer looked at Bai Zhiyuan, and said lightly: "Let's go!"

Bai Zhiyuan held an umbrella for him and walked all the way to the princess's bedroom.

Heba Yun stopped at the door of the bedroom.

Bai Zhiyuan also stopped.

Heba Yun turned his head to look at her. This palace maid was actually quite smart, what a pity.

Bai Zhiyuan felt Heba Yun's attention and became alert.

She thought that since Heba Yun came to see the princess almost every day, then everyone in the princess's palace must know the truth. He Xiaowan was indeed quite resourceful, and no rumors that were unfavorable to the two of them had been spread for so long.

Heba Yun hesitated for a moment before stepping in. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the princess' bedroom.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel nauseous. Is this unethical love really love?

Perhaps her face revealed some of her true thoughts at the moment, and Heba Yun, who had been secretly observing her, frowned slightly. This was the first time someone dared to show disdain on her face so openly, and anger rose in his heart. How could a little palace maid dare to do this?

Heba Yun couldn't help but recall that many years ago when he was still an unpopular prince, anyone could bully him.

Heba Yun clenched his fists, wishing he could kill the palace maid in front of him at this moment.

Bai Zhiyuan raised her eyes and saw the murderous intent in Heba Yun's eyes. She opened her mouth and asked, "Prince, is this really what you want?"

Heba Yun showed an expression of disbelief on his face. She actually knew everything.

He trembled and asked, "Who are you? What do you know?"

Bai Zhiyuan's lips curled up in mockery, and the next moment, He Xiaowan's people came over.

Heba Yun concealed the shock on his face, glanced at Bai Zhiyuan, and then walked towards He Xiaowan's room.

When He Xiaowan's people saw Bai Zhiyuan, they were also surprised for a moment, and then they looked at Bai Zhiyuan as if he were a dead person.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't care at all.

After Heba Yun left, Bai Zhiyuan began to look around the princess's palace. As Wei Chi said, the princess's palace was as tight as an iron gate, and there should be many secret guards with high martial arts skills in the dark.

The bedroom of a southern barbarian princess is comparable to the emperor's bedroom. He Xiaowan is probably also ambitious.

But now He Xiaowan’s people are everywhere, how can she find the antidote?

The rain stopped. Bai Zhiyuan was stopped as soon as she walked in the princess's palace. She had no choice but to guard the door of the princess's bedroom.

There was a faint sound of quarreling inside. At first, Bai Zhiyuan was thinking about where to find the antidote, so he didn't hear it clearly. Later, the quarrel became louder and louder. Bai Zhiyuan was stunned at first, but soon realized that the two of them were probably arguing about the recent incident in the court where the ministers forced the prince to marry a wife.

Bai Zhiyuan glanced sideways at He Xiaowan's personal maid who was also guarding the door with her. Coincidentally, she was also looking at her.

Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Sister, I want to go to the toilet. Where is the toilet?"

Unexpectedly, the palace maid snorted coldly and said, "If you don't want to die, just stay here obediently."

Bai Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment and had to give up.

The quarreling in the room continued and faintly reached Bai Zhiyuan's ears.

"Why do you control me?"

"I am not your puppet..."

"..."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized what was going on. It was not what she and Xie Yunsong thought. Heba Yun probably didn't like He Xiaowan, but He Xiaowan had thoughts about her brother that she shouldn't have, and she seemed to be threatening him and controlling him.

No wonder Heba Yun always sat in the study with a melancholy face. Heba Yun, who was mediocre in qualifications, had no chance of becoming the crown prince, all because of He Xiaowan.

Bai Zhiyuan's blood boiled instantly when he learned the truth, and he immediately wanted to tell Xie Yunsong everything he had gained.

In this way, she could start from the conflict between Heba Yun and He Xiaowan and use Heba Yun to get the antidote.

Bai Zhiyuan was ecstatic. After so long, she was finally about to succeed.
