Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After lunch, the queen prepared to return to the palace.

Since last night, she has not seen Princess Changle again. Bai Zhiyuan was a little surprised by the rare quietness.

During this period, Qi Zeyi tried to stop her several times, but she resolved them one by one.

Ever since Bai Zhiyuan sneaked into Prince Yan's Mansion and discovered Qi Zeyi's feelings for her, every time she saw him again, Bai Zhiyuan felt even more disgusted with him.

Qi Zeyi stood there with his body trained, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Yu knocked on the door outside.

Qi Zeyi: “Come in!”

Bai Yu pushed the door open and walked in.

"What's the matter?"

Bai Yu said, "Your Majesty, the Queen's prayers have ended and she is ready to return to the capital immediately."

Qi Zeyi stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Got it. Get ready and set off immediately."

Bai Yu: "Yes!" Then he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, our people just reported that they saw Prince Jin and Princess Rong'an chatting in the backyard for a long time."

Qi Zeyi clenched the cup in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, he asked again, "Did you hear what they said?"

Bai Yu shook his head: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The people of Prince Jin are guarding right in front of us, so I can't hear clearly."

Qi Zeyi tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and threw the cup in his hand away. The cup shattered at Bai Yu's feet. Bai Yu didn't even dare to raise his head.

After a while, Qi Zeyi calmed down a little, his face was full of gloom, "Prince Jin, he has openly opposed me many times, and now he has set his sights on A Yuan. It seems that I have been too tolerant of him all along."

"Pass the order down, and ask the people in the capital to pay more attention to the movements of the King of Jin. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

Bai Yu bowed and said yes, then quickly left.

After Bai Yu left, Qi Zeyi could no longer control his anger. His face was distorted with anger. He murmured, "Bai Zhiyuan is mine. King Jin, don't even think about getting your hands on me."

When he said this, he completely forgot that it was because of his affair with Jiang Muyun that Bai Zhiyuan broke off the engagement with him.

Bai Zhiyuan, who was also in Puhua Temple, was unaware of this. She hurriedly packed her bags and boarded the carriage back to Beijing.

All the way, she seemed to be worried.

Ling Xiao didn't dare to disturb her.

Bai Zhiyuan knew that what the King of Jin said today was from the bottom of his heart, and it was not clear whether he was interested in her. But for now, marrying the King of Jin was undoubtedly her best choice. It would not only give the people in the court a break, but also reassure the Queen Mother and help the King of Jin.

Reborn, she must block Qi Zeyi's path to becoming the crown prince. The Prince of Jin is undoubtedly the best choice, and this is exactly what she meant when she chose the Prince of Jin. But does she have to sacrifice the rest of her life to continue on her path?

Putting everything aside, the Prince of Jin was someone she could trust for life. But he was a member of the royal family after all. If he became the crown prince in the future, would she be able to be the crown princess as she wished, or even have a higher status?

Bai Zhiyuan was full of hesitation. She was like a pedestrian standing at a crossroads, not knowing how to make a decision.

Thousands of miles away, in the north.

Although it is already the end of spring, it feels like spring has just arrived in the north, and the weather is slowly warming up.

After Bai Zhiyuan left, Xie Yunsong took the initiative to launch wars against the Northern Di many times.

Since Bai Zhiyuan cut off Yu Huangqing's arm last year, although Yu Huangqing escaped death, he was also attacked from the front when he returned to Beidi. How could the Beidi royal family allow a useless person to be the emperor? However, the strength that Yu Huangqing has accumulated over the years should not be underestimated. Therefore, Beidi was troubled internally and externally.

Xie Yunsong took this opportunity to launch several wars, all of which were very effective. If this continued, the recovery of the northern border would be imminent.

Apart from the war, what he was most concerned about was still Bai Zhiyuan.

Shangjing is not like the North. The North is dangerous with real swords and guns. The danger of Shangjing is full of various conspiracies and intrigues.

Fortunately, Tianxun wrote to him every few days, saying that everything was fine with Ayuan. But Xie Yunsong knew that after Ayuan returned, her marriage would definitely depend on the emperor and the queen mother to find her weakness. Thinking of this, Xie Yunsong's heart was filled with sadness again. The resolute look in Bai Zhiyuan's eyes when he left that day made him feel frightened every time he thought of it.

He wished he could fly back to Shangjing immediately, return to Ayuan, and never be separated from her again, but he couldn't do that now.

Ever since Bai Zhiyuan left, he handled military affairs in his own tent during the day and lived in the tent where Bai Zhiyuan used to live at night, as if only in this way could he be closer to Ayuan.

Xie Yunsong thought about it, and finally called Lu Zhiling and said, "Start a war against Beidi again as soon as possible, and try to get the letter of surrender as soon as possible, so that we can return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Lu Zhiling nodded. He had followed Xie Yunsong for many years and knew him well. He knew that Xie Yunsong was a man who valued love the most. He was heartbroken when Bai Zhiyuan left this time, but he was General Yunhui and could not let anyone see that. In the past, Xie Yunsong was not in a hurry to initiate a war against Beidi. He was always very patient, but in recent days, he was impatient and initiated wars against Beidi many times. He just wanted to win a quick battle so that he could return to Beijing to find Bai Zhiyuan as soon as possible.

Fortunately, victory is just around the corner, but what should the lovers do after returning to Beijing?

……

Bai Zhiyuan returned to Beijing from Puhua Temple. After much deliberation, she changed into casual clothes and left the house without bringing anyone with her.

Bai Zhiyuan went straight to Sun Xiaoshan's home in Shangjing.

Xiaoshan is a simple child. He is the first person he met among the northern soldiers. When he didn't know his identity, he took good care of him.

It’s a pity that he finally died in the North.

Since she returned to Beijing, she has always wanted to visit Xiaoshan's mother and sister. Xiaoshan once said that he joined the army and went to the north because he wanted military pay to supplement his family income.

But unexpectedly, he died forever in the north before he could return home in glory.

When she was in the North, she asked others for Xiaoshan's home address, thinking that when she came back, she would go to see his mother and sister for him.

I guess his family doesn’t know that he has passed away yet. They may still be waiting anxiously for Xiaoshan to come back.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed lightly, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at Xiaoshan's door.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was an old man. He opened it tremblingly and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door who exuded wealth. He was stunned for a moment. After a while, he came to his senses and felt a little uneasy.

Seeing her like this, Bai Zhiyuan thought that this must be Xiaoshan's mother. She smiled and asked, "Old lady, is this Sun Xiaoshan's home?"

The old man showed a confused and frightened look and said, "Yes. What happened to Xiaoshan?"

Bai Zhiyuan did not reveal his identity, but only said, "He and I joined the army together in the northern border. He has always taken good care of me in the army. Now that I have returned to the capital, I came to see you on his behalf."

When Sun's mother heard this, she was immediately delighted and hurriedly welcomed Bai Zhiyuan in and called her daughter out. The two were very grateful to her. Sun's mother asked how Xiaoshan was doing in the army, but Bai Zhiyuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Although she had expected that her mother would ask her this question before she came, she still didn't know how to answer.

Seeing her silence, the originally delighted Sun's mother immediately realized something, and she asked in a trembling voice: "But what happened to Xiaoshan?"

Bai Zhiyuan's nose felt sore, and he pursed his lips before speaking under his mother's expectant gaze: "Xiaoshan was a hero in the North, and he has died a martyr..."

After hearing this, Sun's mother was a little unsteady on her feet for a moment. Fortunately, her daughter beside her helped her and she was able to stand up.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't bear to look at her.

Sun's mother lowered her head and wiped her tears, and Xiaoshan's sister also covered her mouth and cried.

After a long while, Sun's mother said to Bai Zhiyuan, "Did my son suffer before he died?"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, he passed away peacefully. The only thing he is worried about is you two."

As Bai Zhiyuan spoke, he took out from the package he brought with him the relics from the hills that he had brought back from the North. The pair of boots that his mother had made for him before she left were returned to him in brand new condition.

Seeing this, Sun's mother could no longer hold back and burst into tears, holding her son's boots.

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were a little moist. Fate was so unfair. Now he was left with an orphan and a widow. Their lives would probably be even more difficult.

After a long time, Sun's mother stopped crying and said to Bai Zhiyuan: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady. Xiaoshan is a good boy. If it weren't for this family, he wouldn't have joined the army, and he wouldn't have..."

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head: "Xiaoshan has taken good care of me. From now on, there are only two of you left at home. If you have any problems, you can come to General Weiyuan's Mansion to find me. My name is Bai Zhiyuan. Xiaoshan said that street bullies always bully you and your daughter. I will send people to visit you from time to time. If someone disrespects you again, I will definitely not let them go. Don't worry, live a good life in the future, Xiaoshan will also be pleased in heaven."

After hearing this, Sun's mother couldn't help but hug her daughter and cry bitterly, but she also didn't forget to thank Bai Zhiyuan. Although they were ordinary people, they also knew about Weiyuan General's Mansion. The young lady in front of them was actually the daughter of the general's mansion, no wonder she was so rich. His family Xiaoshan was able to have such a friend, and it was not in vain.

Seeing them sad, Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help thinking of Xiaoshan's tragic death. She couldn't bear to stay any longer, so she said goodbye and left, leaving some money for the orphan and widow before leaving.

Supported by her daughter, the grandson's mother rushed out, thanked Bai Zhiyuan again and again, and finally watched Bai Zhiyuan walk away with tears in her eyes.
