Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Inside the Guanghua Palace, the Emperor sat on the high throne with an angry look on his face. The Empress was still pale and tightly grasped the chair. The Empress Dowager on the side had a cold look and a thoughtful expression on her face.

Soon, the palace servants came to report: "Your Majesty, Queen, Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Princess has woken up."

The banquet was instantly in uproar, except for Prince Kangding, who looked uneasy and felt as if his body was falling into an ice cellar.

When the emperor found Princess Changle just now, he summoned the imperial physician Cheng Yuanheng, Cheng Beixiao's father, to treat Princess Changle.

Doctor Cheng gave Princess Changle a few injections, and the princess slowly woke up. As soon as she woke up, she ran out madly as if she was shocked, and no matter how the palace servants chased her, it was of no use.

This Princess Changle is completely different from the usual Princess Changle.

Princess Changle ran all the way to Guanghua Palace in one breath. She ran so fast that she even lost her shoes on the way. She came in disheveled and when she saw the queen, she hugged the queen and cried without even performing the formal ceremony, babbling something.

The crowd below was in an uproar.

Who harmed the once arrogant Princess Changle to make her look like neither human nor ghost now?

The emperor was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the imperial physician? Take Changle down for treatment."

Many eunuchs and palace maids wanted to help Princess Changle back to her bedroom, but Princess Changle hugged the Queen's legs tightly, and for a moment, no one could separate the mother and daughter.

The queen lost her dignity for a moment and shouted, "Your Majesty, Changle is frightened. Changle has something to say. Perhaps the murderer is in the palace now..."

When Princess Changle ran in, Prince Kangding felt a sense of fear in his heart, and now he was sweating profusely. If it were normal, everyone would have noticed his abnormality, but at the moment, everyone's attention was on Princess Changle, so naturally no one noticed him.

Emperor Renxiao said to Princess Changle, "Changle, don't be afraid. Your father is here. Tell me what happened the day before yesterday. How did you become like this?"

Princess Changle was trembling all over, but her eyes were fixed on Bai Zhiyuan, not moving a muscle.

Countless gazes followed, some confused, some surprised, some angry... all looked at Bai Zhiyuan.

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Changle, who on earth has harmed you to this point? Tell the Imperial Grandmother."

The huge palace was silent for a long time, and Princess Changle leaned on the queen without moving her eyes away. Gradually, she still did not move, but her eyes moved to Xie Yunsong, obsessed and desperate, trembling all over, and tears streaming down her face.

Looking at Xie Yunsong again, he lowered his thick eyelashes and did not look at Princess Changle from beginning to end.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely subtle.

Bai Zhiyuan walked forward and asked gently, "What happened, Princess? Why are you looking at me?"

Bai Zhiyuan had a slight curve at the corner of his lips and looked at her gently.

Upon hearing this, Princess Changle stood up abruptly, her eyes red and fierce, and she was mumbling "ahhhh" something in her mouth.

The queen stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "It's you, is it you who harmed Changle?"

Bai Zhiyuan said calmly, "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. The imperial palace is a forbidden area. How can a servant enter it just because he wants to? If your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can go and check whether I have been to the palace recently. I am the daughter of a minister. How can I know about the abandoned garden in the palace?"

"Your Majesty loves your daughter deeply, but you must also seek truth from facts!" Bai Zhiyuan's tone was flat, but sonorous and powerful, and the Queen was unable to refute it for a moment.

At this time, Princess Changle's gaze finally turned to Prince Kangding, but Prince Kangding was already filled with fear and was at a loss as to what to do.

When the Queen Mother saw this, she was moved. Prince Kangding was not her son, and she had always disliked him. She had only been maintaining harmony on the surface.

The Queen Mother slowly spoke, "Changle, the Imperial Grandmother knows that you are injured, don't be afraid. Now that the Imperial Grandmother is asking you, you just need to shake your head or nod."

"Did someone hurt you in the orchid garden that day? That person is in the palace now, right?"

When Princess Changle heard this, her face turned grim and hatred surged in her eyes, which were so red that blood seemed to drip out.

After a while, she stared at Prince Kangding with her eyes slightly turned away, raised her face to breathe, and slid her throat with difficulty, and uttered: "Yes."

Emperor Renxiao was irritated: "Who is it? Point it out to me!"

Prince Kangding's whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and an uncontrollable fear was rolling in his chest, making him feel terrified and desperate.

Princess Changle slowly clenched her fists, a trace of resentment flashed across her eyes, she slowly raised her hand and suddenly pointed her finger at Prince Kangding.

When this scene appeared, everyone gasped.

Prince Kangding's face changed several times and he wanted to make a few excuses.

But the Queen Mother said sternly: "Changle, are you referring to Prince Kangding?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

Princess Changle slowly approached King Kangding with bloodshot eyes. She remembered the day when this man, who was her uncle, had an affair with her father's concubine. After she caught him, he cruelly cut off her tongue and ordered the guards to abuse her in every way. He ruined her. Princess Changle's hatred for King Kangding at this time had exceeded Bai Zhiyuan's.

She stared at King Kangding with hatred, her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to skin him alive. She raised her shaking hand again and pointed at King Kangding.

Emperor Renxiao looked at Prince Kangding with deep eyes.

Prince Kangding was startled. He propped up his broken leg and kowtowed to the emperor several times. "Brother, I am innocent. Changle is my niece. How could I hurt her? Please forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Changle could no longer hold back, and rushed forward, pulled out the sword of the sword-wielding guard beside Emperor Renxiao, and swung it hard at Prince Kangding.

King Kangding was surprised and raised his hand subconsciously. With a cry of "Ah", his right hand was chopped off.

It all happened in a split second.

Princess Changle was still not satisfied, so she swung her knife and slashed at Prince Kangding a few more times before the guards snatched the knife from her and she fell to the ground.

There was chaos at the banquet, and some ladies who had never seen blood screamed in fear.

Emperor Renxiao's expression also changed drastically. After a while, the chaos in the hall calmed down a little. Prince Kangding was lying on the ground covered in blood, gasping for breath.

The emperor's eyes shot straight at him, "I trusted you so much, Prince Kangding, but you actually killed my most beloved daughter. What is your intention?"

Prince Kangding spat out a mouthful of blood and was speechless for a long time.

Princess Changle slumped on the ground helplessly. Upon hearing this, she slowly stood up and murmured to the emperor, because her tongue was cut, "Noble... Lady Liu..."

Emperor Renxiao was confused and didn't hear her words clearly. The Queen beside him said in panic: "Noble Lady Liu? Changle, are you talking about Noble Lady Liu?"

Princess Changle nodded weakly.

The emperor was a very suspicious and sensitive person. As soon as the queen finished speaking, he understood what was going on and looked straight at Prince Kangding with anger.

At today's farewell banquet, if the situation in the hall were to spread, it would definitely be a joke and would involve a royal scandal.

Emperor Renxiao's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. "Someone come!" the emperor said in a deep voice, "Noble Lady Liu dared to have an affair with Prince Kangding. Throw Noble Lady Liu into the pond."

As for the King of Kangding, Emperor Renxiao looked at him solemnly. There was no brotherly affection in his eyes at this moment. It was the cruelty and ruthlessness of a king looking at a dying person. It was a murderous intent.

The emperor said slowly: "Prince Kangding, you have hurt the princess and even colluded with my concubine. I will cut off the rest of your hands and feet and throw you into the pile of beggars, letting them trample you to death."

Prince Kangding trembled and slowly looked towards the emperor, whose eyes were filled with sinister intent.

Such a thing happened during the palace banquet. The emperor never looked at Prince Kangding again, nor at his once most beloved daughter. He just flicked his sleeves and strode out.

When Bai Zhiyuan saw this, he thought: It turns out that the heart of the emperor is the cruelest.

The ministers knew it was inconvenient to stay any longer, so they all got up and left.

Princess Changle also retreated with the help of the palace maids and the queen, but she did not forget to take a look at Xie Yunsong before leaving.

Bai Zhiyuan also exchanged a glance with Xie Yunsong, walked out of the palace, and got on the carriage back home with his family.
