Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

After a stalemate of fifteen days, Gullit was finally defeated.

Li Yuyan led his troops into the city and captured Gulit alive, ending this brutal war that had lasted for several months.

"Prince Gulit, how does it feel to be a prisoner?" Gulit was carefully escorted to Li Yuyan and the others. Xu Jinyang forced him to kneel down and asked him about his feelings in a mocking manner.

Gullit turned his face away, bit his lip and said nothing.

"Oh, you are still very strong." Another general in charge gently raised his hand and punched him on the head enthusiastically, "You think you are a prince who looks down on others."

Li Yuyan just looked on coldly and indifferently, without opening his mouth to stop his subordinates' actions.

Li Yunze thought a lot and did not let Gullit be deliberately insulted for too long. Finally, he spoke up to intercept these generals who were commanding the troops.

"Prince Gulit, you should be very clear about the principle of defeat becoming a bandit. Do you have anything to say?" Li Yunze asked too politely. After capturing Gulit, he could once again negotiate directly with the Khan of Rongdi. This time was different from the last time.

The last time, it was Li Yuyan who designed to capture him, and this time, Rongdi was completely defeated by the Tang Dynasty. The military force of Rongdi was severely damaged. If their Khan had not given formal compensation to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that Gulit would not have been able to return alive.

"Li Yuyan, I've slept with your woman before, how does it feel to be cuckolded?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed in the room, except Li Yuyan, who looked at him mercilessly, motionless, as if he hadn't heard what Gullit said at all.

Li Yunze had no way to suppress the anger deep in his heart, so he walked over and punched Gullit, "I told you not to talk nonsense!"

Gulit's lips were broken, and a trace of blood oozed out. He laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "I have had all kinds of women in my life, but you, Li Yuyan, are the evil woman that I miss the most. What do you think? Don't believe it?"

How could it be possible! Li Yunze felt his heart tighten. He had seen Wei Bingyan the day before. If she was really murdered by Gulit... How could she face Li Yuyan so calmly? He turned around and looked at Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan stood up, looked down at Gullit, and said ruthlessly, "Do you think I will believe it?"

"You want to hide your true feelings and don't want to believe that your woman is cheating on you. That's your business." Gullit said with a vicious smile. He didn't believe that Li Yuyan would turn a deaf ear to it. Which man would remain calm after being cuckolded? Even if he didn't believe it at this moment, there would always be a thorn deep in his heart.

This was Gullit’s purpose. He defeated Li Yuyan, but he also didn’t want to let him have an easy time.

Li Yuyan smiled lightly and said, "Take him away."

Xu Jinyang and another general who led the troops looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't tell what Li Yuyan was thinking at this moment, but any man would be unable to remain calm when hearing another man telling him that he was cheating on him. They didn't have the courage to ask more questions and could only leave with Gullit who was still laughing loudly.

Li Yunze looked at Li Yuyan and couldn't help but open his mouth, "You just watched him deliberately frame Bingyan?"

Li Yuyan glanced at Li Yunze, not expecting his reaction to be bigger than his own. "Since you knew it was a deliberate frame-up, why did you fall for his trick?"

Isn't what Gullit wanted to see Li Yuyan lose his composure?

"Do you believe what he said?" Li Yunze couldn't help but ask.

Li Yuyan said calmly: "I only trust my wife."

Li Yunze was stunned. If he were Li Yuyan, he would definitely not be able to be as calm as him. It is possible that... he would still feel suspicious of Wei Bingyan deep in his heart. But Li Yuyan did not seem to be affected by Gullit. He firmly believed in Wei Bingyan.

That's right. Li Yuyan believed Wei Bingyan. If Gulit really did something to her, she would tell him when they met. Since she didn't say anything, it meant that nothing had happened.

But what if he believed it? Gullit's words might be misunderstood by many people...

Li Yuyan frowned and said to Li Yunze, "Prince Li, please do me a favor and don't let what Gulit said today reach my wife's ears."

Li Yunze nodded very deeply, knowing that Li Yuyan wanted to protect Wei Bingyan. It was unclear what Wei Bingyan would think if she heard Gulit say that and deliberately framed her.

Although he and Wei Bingyan had not been together for too long, he knew that she was a woman who looked weak but was actually strong.

The good news of victory reached the capital very quickly. The emperor felt very relieved and issued an order to reward the entire army. He also ordered Li Yuyan and his men to pursue the Rongdi people relentlessly and drive them out of the Tang Dynasty completely.

Rongdi worked together with other weak countries to deal with the Tang Dynasty, but was now beaten back fiercely by the Tang Dynasty, which greatly depleted their vitality. Apart from submitting to the Tang Dynasty once again, they no longer had the ability to compete with the Tang Dynasty, especially when other weak countries had already surrendered.

Li Yuyan was ordered to escort the Rongdi captives back to the capital, quietly waiting for the Rongdi Khan to come to the Tang Dynasty for negotiations.

……

Wei Bingyan set out from Tugou City and returned to the capital. She did not stay for long on the way. However, when she was halfway there, someone sent by the palace came to pick her up.

The person who came to pick her up personally was Thunder God.

"Your Majesty is concerned about Madam Li's injury, so he ordered me to come and protect you as you return to the capital." Eunuch Lei bowed to Wei Bingyan and spoke in a slightly soft voice. Behind him were a dozen young palace maids, and the exquisite and spacious carriage was all prepared for Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan bowed respectfully in the direction of the capital, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness."

Eunuch Lei looked at Wei Bingyan and asked with concern: "Mrs. Li is scared, but is she injured?"

She and Thunder Eunuch can be said to be friends, and there is no need for both sides to use so many formalities. Wei Bingyan said, "I was really panicked and couldn't come back, but fortunately I wasn't injured."

"That's really a blessing." Eunuch Lei said, holding Wei Bingyan's hand and walking towards the carriage, "Many people in the capital are concerned about your safety."

Wei Bingyan smiled and said, "I know."

Eunuch Lei looked at her earnestly, with a complicated expression in his eyes.

"The Sixth Prince is also very worried about you." said Eunuch Lei.

Wei Bingyan was stunned, not quite understanding how the topic started with the Sixth Prince. She looked at Eunuch Lei in confusion.

Eunuch Lei hung his head, "Mrs. Xiao Li may not know that Master Xiao Li has captured Gulit alive."

After hearing this, Wei Bingyan could not suppress her ecstasy, "So, the battle is finally over?"

"Yes, His Majesty has asked Lord Li to escort Gulit and other captives back to Beijing." Eunuch Lei said.
