Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Before the group reached the palace gate, they saw Bai Tingxuan and Princess Duanhui waiting in the distance. As soon as Bai Qiuze found his sister, he immediately sent someone back to report. At this time, his parents got the news and were waiting on the road with worried faces.

When Ling Xiao saw Bai Zhiyuan coming back, he rushed over to hug her and burst into tears: "Miss, I'm glad you're okay."

Bai Zhiyuan had no choice but to comfort her.

Bai Tingxuan and Princess Duanhui's eyes were red, and they were relieved when they saw that Bai Zhiyuan was fine. They thanked Xie Yunsong again.

The news that Bai Zhiyuan returned intact and spent a night alone with Xie Yunsong spread throughout the palace. Upon hearing this, Princess Changle lost her temper in her bedroom.

On the other side, Prince Kangding got very angry at his men when he heard the news, and then he became worried that the matter would be traced back to him.

Bai Zhiyuan returned to her yard. Cheng Beixiao came and applied medicine to her injured foot and re-bandaged it.

Cheng Beixiao jokingly asked, "Miss Bai, what did you and Yunsong do yesterday when you didn't come back all night?"

Bai Zhiyuan's face heated up slightly when he heard this, and then he said seriously: "I didn't do anything. I'm already like this, what else do you think we can do, Master Cheng?"

Cheng Beixiao looked at Bai Zhiyuan with a sly smile and said, "You two spent one night together, didn't your feelings grow?"

Bai Zhiyuan's face was hot, and he ignored him. He turned to Ling Xiao and said, "My wound is bandaged, please send Master Cheng out."

Then he said to Cheng Beixiao: "Thank you for your concern, Master Cheng. Please give the medicine to my maid. She will apply it to me tomorrow."

Cheng Beixiao said with a smile: "Miss Bai is good at crossing the river and then destroying the bridge."

Then, he wrote a prescription and gave it to Bai Zhiyuan. But he seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Bai Zhiyuan was afraid that he would say something again, so he pretended to take a rest and sent him away.

After seeing Cheng Beixiao off, Bai Zhiyuan lay on the bed, her mind full of Cheng Beixiao's words and the scene of her and Xie Yunsong in the cave.

Bai Zhiyuan covered herself with the quilt and told herself not to let her mind wander. But as soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered Xie Yunsong carrying her on his back, him reaching out to her, his smiling face. Bai Zhiyuan fell into a deep sleep while thinking about this.

On the other side, it was Xie Yunsong’s bedroom.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Bai Zhiyuan, Cheng Beixiao came to find Xie Yunsong.

He said jokingly, "Yun Song, what did you do with Miss Bai last night? You are great, a hero saving a beautiful girl. Is Miss Bai so grateful to you that she wants to marry you?"

Xie Yunsong rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Cheng Beixiao continued to talk to himself: "This is simply a love story written in a storybook. Xie Yunsong, tell me, why did you rush to save her? Do you like Miss Bai..."

Without waiting for Cheng Beixiao to finish speaking, Xie Yunsong pulled Cheng Beixiao, pushed him out of the door, and locked the door from the inside.

Cheng Beixiao was furious. He knocked on the door for a long time but to no avail, so he had to leave angrily.

After Cheng Beixiao left, Xie Yunsong lay on the bed, his mind constantly recollecting the girl's soft body, the feeling of gently lying on his back. Thinking of what Cheng Beixiao had just said, Xie Yunsong felt this kind of uncontrollable joy for the first time in his life.

Today is the third day of spring hunting. Because Bai Zhiyuan was ambushed, no hunting was done today. The Emperor learned that Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong had returned safely, so he suddenly decided to hold a spring banquet in the evening.

When Bai Zhiyuan woke up, it was already sunset. He learned that a spring banquet would be held in the main hall.

Bai Zhiyuan then stood up, dressed and put on makeup.

Today she was wearing a light pink dress with butterfly patterns embroidered on it. Her long black hair was lightly tied up with a butterfly hairpin. Her face was lightly powdered, her beautiful eyes were moving, and the corners of her skirt were flying.

Bai Zhiyuan had packed up and was about to go out when he heard Xie Yunsong's secret guard Tian Lin wanted to see him. Knowing that it was something important, he called him in.

Tianlin saluted respectfully, Bai Zhiyuan waved his hand and asked, "But what can I do for you, General Xie?"

Tianlin shook his head and said, "No, the general has something to tell the young lady."

"what's up?"

"I heard that yesterday, the leader of the Imperial Guards, Li Mi, captured several people who shot arrows at the young lady in the forest, but they did not give any confessions yesterday. Last night, Commander Li was also searching for the young lady and the general in the forest, but this morning he found that the people he captured yesterday had died quietly."

Bai Zhiyuan's breathing stagnated, and he said slowly, "I'm afraid he was silenced."

Tianlin replied: "That's right."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered. She didn't even know who wanted her life so much.

Tianlin added: "The general ordered me to tell the young lady that although those people are dead, the general found out that they seem to be from the Kangding Palace."

Prince Kangding? Bai Zhiyuan was startled. She and Prince Kangding had never met before. Suddenly, Bai Zhiyuan remembered what happened in Yuanyang Tower that day. So it was like this. Prince Kangding might have known that it was her who did it, and he was resentful, so he set a trap yesterday.

But she didn't believe that King Kangding was so bold as to shoot the daughter of an important court official. She was afraid that the Queen must have been involved.

Bai Zhiyuan's face turned cold. Now that she already knew who it was, she would naturally not swallow her anger.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyes and said to Tianlin: "Go back and tell General Xie that I know about this matter."

Tianlin said, "Yes," and then stepped out.

……

In the main hall of the Lishan Palace, the spring banquet is about to begin.

When Bai Zhiyuan arrived, many ladies were already in the front hall. Those who knew the concubines in the harem were invited to the back to talk with the ladies, while the rest sat outside to chat.

Seeing Bai Zhiyuan coming, everyone looked up at her. Bai Zhiyuan also felt many jealous eyes, perhaps because yesterday's incident was widely spread, Xie Yunsong's admirers must hate her now.

Bai Zhiyuan's foot injury had not yet healed, so with Ling Xiao's support, he sat next to Princess Duanhui.

Today, men and women sit at different seats. The male relatives sit at the top of the hall, and the princes have already taken their seats one by one.

The female relatives who were sitting below the seats were secretly looking at the princes, and discussing in low voices with blushing faces.

Bai Zhiyuan raised her eyes and happened to meet the scrutinizing gaze of Qi Zeyi, the King of Yan. That day, when Bai Zhiyuan came down from the mountain and just returned to the palace, she met Qi Zeyi. Qi Zeyi pretended to care about her, but Bai Zhiyuan didn't want to talk to him much, so she sent him away with a few words.

At this moment, he stared at Bai Zhiyuan. When he heard that Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong had been alone all night, he was furious, but he didn't know why he was angry.

Bai Zhiyuan also looked back at him, and after a moment, he sneered.

Qi Zeyi was slightly startled. There was no affection in the girl's eyes, only hatred and a hint of murderous intent that was deliberately concealed.

Qi Zeyi was a little stunned. He didn't understand how he had offended Bai Zhiyuan. Not long ago, she had called him "Senior Brother" with a sweet smile. He thought about it over and over again but couldn't find the reason.

Qi Zeyi looked again intently, but Bai Zhiyuan had already looked away.

Soon, Prince Kangding arrived from the male family. When he passed by Bai Zhiyuan, he glanced at her inadvertently.

After King Kangding sat down, there was a commotion outside. Two people were seen approaching from afar outside the hall. The young man who came was straight, handsome, and had cold eyes. It was Xie Yunsong, followed by Cheng Beixiao, who had a smile on his face and a slightly raised corner of his lips.

The female relatives looked at Xie Yunsong with fascination as he walked by, and many of them also looked at Bai Zhiyuan. Thinking of the two of them being in the same room last night, they looked at Bai Zhiyuan with a little more jealousy.
