Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

For several days, there was no clue about Bai Zhiyuan's whereabouts.

Xie Yunsong stayed up all night for several days, searching for her everywhere, but in the end he found nothing.

Xie Yunsong here was in a state of panic, and Bai Zhiyuan, who was under house arrest, was not much better off.

She had been in this place for several days, but apart from the taciturn maid, she had never seen anyone else enter this room.

Several days had passed, and her strength had not recovered at all. She had no strength at all. Not to mention being unable to leave the room, even if she escaped, she couldn't go far with her current strength.

Qi Zeyi didn't know if he was deliberately leaving her out and putting her under house arrest, but he still hadn't shown up.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel anxious. She didn't know what was going on outside, and she had no news from here. She didn't know if the King of Yan had taken action, and she didn't know how Xie Yunsong was doing.

No! She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan stood up, opened the door of the room again, and walked out.

Sure enough, the next moment, those hidden masters surrounded her.

Bai Zhiyuan was not afraid at all, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "Tell your master that I want to see him. If he refuses to see me, then I will force my way out. Your orders must be not to hurt me. If I force my way in today and you hurt me, what will your master do to you then?"

The men in black looked at each other in bewilderment. Bai Zhiyuan realized that she had gotten her message across, so she turned around and went back into the house. She didn't know if she could force Qi Zeyi to come see her in this way. She really had no patience and couldn't wait any longer. She was eager to know what was going on outside.

But there was one more thing. Qi Shuyue had knocked her out with a silver needle and abducted her. But where was Qi Shuyue now? She had been here for several days, but no one had seen her. She couldn't help but feel anxious.

On the other side, Qi Shuyue, who was remembered by Bai Zhiyuan, was taken to Prince Yan's Mansion after Bai Zhiyuan was knocked unconscious.

The Prince of Yan has been living in the palace recently and has not been back much. Qi Shuyue can only stay alone. She knows that she has done something wrong. But she can't see the Prince of Yan now, and she can't leave the Prince of Yan's mansion. If her grandfather knew about this, she would definitely be finished.

When she first met Prince Yan, she was attracted by his gentle and elegant appearance.

People who have lived in the capital for many years always have a sense of wealth and elegance in their every move. But Bai Zhiyuan had clearly told her that the King of Yan was not what he seemed and must not be approached.

At first, she had no chance to meet the King of Yan. But on the day of Bai Zhiyuan's wedding, she took advantage of the chaos in the mansion and sneaked out. Unexpectedly, she ran into the man who fascinated her at first sight.

The King of Yan showed his usual gentle smile, which made her unable to look away. That day, they talked for a long time, and she found that the King of Yan was not like what Bai Zhiyuan said, but a very considerate and gentle man. Qi Shuyue, who already had a good impression of him, could not forget him even more.

From that day on, Qi Shuyue often sneaked out of the palace to meet with the King of Yan secretly. The King of Yan also promised her that he would make her the Queen when he ascended the throne one day.

Qi Shuyue has lived in Wudu since she was a child. Although she is unruly, she is simple. Since she came to Shangjing, she has been used to a life of luxury and extravagance, and she has developed a yearning for this kind of life. She didn't even dare to think about the position of queen in the past. But now someone promised her the supreme position, and for a moment, she was a little lost.

If one day, she could become the queen, would Bai Zhiyuan still dare to lecture her in front of her? And her grandfather, the grandfather who had never had her in his eyes, would also be proud of her, and her family, all of them would rise because of her.

As a result, Qi Shuyue was completely lost in the promise that King Yan made to her. Until one day, Qi Shuyue sneaked out of the palace to date King Yan as usual.

But on this day, Prince Yan seemed a little absent-minded.

Qi Shuyue couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, are you worried today?"

King Qi Zeyi of Yan sighed and said, "Yue'er, have you heard recently? Father was harmed by a traitor and is now in a coma. I stay by his side day and night, but the position of the crown prince has not been established yet, and I am still not in a position to speak properly. Unfortunately, when father was alive, he trusted the King of Jin too much, and the imperial edict that established the crown prince may have been destroyed by the King of Jin. He intended to forge the imperial edict and become the crown prince of Dali. But now I can only sit and wait for death. I don't ask for any status now, I just hope that father can wake up soon and live a long life."

Qi Shuyue couldn't help but be moved, and said: "Your Highness is really filial, and he still cares about the emperor in his current situation. But now the position of the crown prince is about to fall into the hands of King Jin, won't your Highness fight for yourself?"

"Yue'er is not from Shangjing. When I was in Wudu, I often heard about His Highness' deeds and knew that His Highness was a prince who cared about the people. Moreover, His Highness has been the only choice for the Crown Prince for so many years. But now he is forced by the King of Jin. Even an outsider like Yue'er feels sorry for His Highness. Is His Highness willing to give up the position of Crown Prince to someone else?"

Prince Yan's eyes flashed with shrewdness. He lowered his eyes, hid the sneer on the corner of his mouth, pretended to be heartbroken, and said: "Yue'er, you don't know. Although Prince Jin is unjust, he is my brother after all. How can I be unkind to him? I now only hope that my father will wake up soon and administer justice."

Qi Shuyue heard that if the Prince of Yan lost the position of Crown Prince, he would never be able to ascend the throne, and all her dreams of becoming the Queen would be in vain. So, she said anxiously, "Your Highness, you must not give up and hand over the country to such an unkind and unjust person. If Your Highness needs Yue'er's help, although Yue'er is insignificant, my grandfather is still the Emperor's uncle, and my uncle is General Weiyuan, and my cousin and cousin-in-law are the Princess of Rong'an and General Yunhui respectively. If I really ask them for help, they will definitely not sit idly by."

A trace of mockery flashed in the eyes of King Yan. He had long seen through women like Qi Shuyue. They were brainless and easy to deceive, and they were only dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period. He turned black and white and said so much to her today, just to get her help and use her to deal with Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong.

So, the King of Yan continued to pretend to be heartbroken and said, "Yue'er, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I don't want to involve you and your family. Don't worry, even if I lose the position of crown prince, my love for you is evident to all."

Qi Shuyue was deeply moved. She grabbed the King of Yan's hand, leaned into his arms and said, "Your Highness, I know how you feel about me. If you need me, I will do my best for you."

King Yan's face was cold, and his eyes were filled with deep sarcasm. He curled his lips and sneered, "If Yue'er really wants to help me, there is one thing that only Yue'er can help me with."

Upon hearing this, Qi Shuyue hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

King Yan said: "Now King Jin's greatest helper is General Yun Hui, your cousin's husband."

Now it was Qi Shuyue's turn to be surprised. She had always been away from Shangjing, so naturally she was not aware of the twists and turns of Shangjing.

She raised her head with a surprised expression and said, "Xie Yunsong actually... said that my cousin is also the King of Jin's person?"

Prince Yan nodded sadly and said, "That's right. It was because I chose Prince Jin that your cousin tried every means to break off the engagement with me."

Qi Shuyue: "That's actually the case. No wonder His Highness chose a warrior on the battlefield instead of my cousin, who is so talented."

King Yan held Qi Shuyue's hand tightly and said, "Yue'er, the current situation is very unfavorable to me. If I can get your cousin's help, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Qi Shuyue felt distressed for him and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will say good things about you to my cousin when I go back. Maybe my cousin will be willing to help you if she softens her heart."

King Yan thought to himself, "Fool!" But he looked sad and said, "Yue'er, you are too naive. Your cousin is not someone who can change her mind with just a few words."

Qi Shuyue thought so too, so she asked: "Then how can I help you, Your Highness?"

There was a shrewd look in the eyes of the King of Yan, but Qi Shuyue was unaware of it. He said, "The only way now is to capture your cousin and make them lose their composure. This will make them lose interest in helping the King of Jin, and I will have a chance."

Qi Shuyue widened her eyes and said, "No... No..."

Prince Yan held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I will never hurt your cousin. Your cousin is still my junior sister. Although she is ruthless, does Yue'er think I am that heartless and ungrateful person? I just locked her up and told Xie Yunsong not to help Prince Jin anymore, that's all. When I become the crown prince, I will naturally let her go."

Qi Shuyue: "But...if grandpa and the others knew about this..."

"No one will know. If you don't tell me, I won't tell you either. This secret is only known to you and me. When it's done, I will ask your grandfather to marry you. You will be my legal wife in the future. If I become the emperor, you will be the empress!"

Qi Shuyue was moved by his words and was already imagining the day when she would become the queen. When that day came, she would make it up to her cousin. So she thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you. But Your Highness must also promise me that you will never hurt my cousin."

King Yan held her in his arms and said with emotion: "Thank you, Yue'er, you are so kind to me!"

Soon, King Yan handed her a silver needle wrapped in a sleeping pill and asked her to get close to Bai Zhiyuan and find an opportunity to knock her out silently. After that, he would send someone to take Bai Zhiyuan away.

So, that day, Qi Shuyue insisted on going to Xie Mansion with Bai Zhiyuan. Prince Yan took the opportunity to create chaos and took advantage of Bai Zhiyuan's ignorance of Qi Shuyue's defenses to successfully knock her unconscious and abduct her.
