Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The two men did not dare to stop and followed the path for a whole day. They did not stop until the sun was setting the next day. After making sure that there were no pursuers, they took a rest in a lush forest.

Bai Zhiyuan sat leaning against a tree, quietly looking at the sparse sunlight filtering through the gaps between the branches and leaves above her head.

Xie Yunsong sat beside her, seeing her silence, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses, glanced at him, and said, "I was thinking, in fact, He Xiaowan is also a pitiful person. The biggest mistake she made in her life was probably falling in love with her own brother."

"She was a princess who was loved by everyone since she was a child, while Heba Yun was just an unloved prince. She saw what happened to him and fell in love with him, but she also knew that such love was not allowed in the world."

"So she schemed against Heba Yun, making him fear her and obey her. She loved him, so she discovered that he also wanted to obtain the supreme throne. For so many years, she had been scheming for Heba Yun, even at the cost of poisoning her own father, but in the end, all she got was Heba Yun's hatred and disgust."

"She had no idea that Heba Yunduo wanted to kill her. And in the end, she died at the hands of the person she loved the most."

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Xie Yunsong and asked, "What did you think when she died at the hands of Heba Yun?"

Xie Yunsong also looked back at her and said, "The truth is cruel, but I think that after all the years she and Heba Yun have been entangled, Heba Yun does not love her. She must know it better than anyone else, but she just doesn't want to admit it."

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned, then understood. Yes, in the previous life, she was very similar to He Xiaowan. Many details of their interactions had already told her the answer. Qi Zeyi's patience with Jiang Muyun and the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Muyun were all things that Bai Zhiyuan had never experienced in the previous life. But Bai Zhiyuan in the previous life still insisted on doing what he wanted.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "You are right. So her death in the end was her own fault."

Xie Yunsong felt puzzled. Bai Zhiyuan was not such a sentimental person. What happened to him today?

Thinking of this, he looked at Bai Zhiyuan and said, "Ayuan, don't forget, He Xiaowan is the princess of the enemy country. Your brother and so many soldiers in the southern border have been poisoned by her. Moreover, because of her poison array for so many years, it is not easy for your father to guard the southern border."

Bai Zhiyuan looked up and said, "I know everything you said. It's a good thing for us that He Xiaowan is dead. I'm just a woman who feels a little sympathetic towards her experience." After all, Bai Zhiyuan had a similar experience as her in his previous life. He offered a sincere heart, but was trampled to death in the end.

Xie Yunsong nodded and said, "Ayuan is too kind-hearted. You should know that being lenient towards your enemies is being cruel to yourself."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said, "General Xie is right. Now that things have come to this, He Xiaowan is dead and we have obtained the antidote, which is a good thing for us. Then, let's continue on our journey so that we can go back and detoxify my brother as soon as possible."

Xie Yunsong touched her hair and said, "Okay."

The two men jumped on their horses at the same time and continued galloping along the path towards the southern border.

Meanwhile, Heba Yun in the Nanman Palace was furious. He was knocked unconscious by Bai Zhiyuan and then tied up by her. When he woke up, he immediately sent people to the princess's bedroom to arrest her, but the guards said, "She has already escaped."

Heba Yun went to the princess's bedroom in person. He Xiaowan's bed had already been turned over and the medicine in the secret room had been looted.

Heba Yun was furious. He ordered his men to quickly block the city gates, but he was still a step too late. Bai Zhiyuan had already escaped from the Nanman capital, Yongshun.

She disappeared as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Heba Yun was furious and beat Chang Ma and Xiao Tao who brought Bai Zhiyuan into the palace. However, Chang Ma insisted that she didn't know Bai Zhiyuan's identity and only knew that she was from Dali. Xiao Tao really didn't know anything. Finally, Heba Yun was furious and beat them to death.

It was very rare to see a prince so furious. Everyone in the Nanman court thought that the prince was so furious at the tragic death of the princess that he ordered people to capture the assassin in such a high-profile manner.

In fact, Heba Yun was just angry about being played by a woman. He wanted to catch Bai Zhiyuan and cut him into pieces. Besides, in this world, apart from him, Bai Zhiyuan was the only one who knew that He Xiaowan died in his hands. He really couldn't rest assured if he didn't catch her.

But no matter how many people he sent, the results were fruitless.

Heba Yun was furious in his study every day.

The princess was dead, and there was no one to stop him. Many of the people left by He Xiaowan knew that the princess had been assisting the prince, so they naturally became Heba Yun's people.

After burying He Xiaowan, Heba Yun quickly got engaged to the daughter of an important official of Nanman. Before the emperor woke up, Heba Yun naturally ascended the throne and became the new monarch of Nanman.

Bai Zhiyuan was unaware of these things while on the road. When she and Xie Yunsong traveled thousands of miles a day, they finally rushed back to the military camp in the southern border.

Bai Tingxuan pulled his daughter and looked at her again and again. In the past two months, he couldn't eat or sleep, and he worried about his daughter's safety day and night.

Finally, his daughter lived up to his expectations and returned safely.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Father, please stop looking at me. I am really fine and not injured at all. Also, I brought back the antidote. Let's go and save my brother as soon as possible."

Princess Duanhui didn't know that her daughter had gone to Nanman. She just thought that her daughter had gone out to find an antidote. She was still wondering why her husband felt like he was about to be separated from his husband forever.

Upon hearing this, Bai Tingxuan let go of Bai Zhiyuan and turned to tell the soldier, "Go and get Doctor Cheng."

Then, seeing his daughter striding towards Bai Qiuze's tent, he hurriedly followed.

When Bai Zhiyuan arrived at Bai Qiuze's tent, Cheng Beixiao, who had heard the news, had just arrived. Bai Zhiyuan took out all the medicines he found in He Xiaowan's secret room and said to Cheng Beixiao, "Doctor Cheng, take a quick look. Which one of these is the antidote?"

She took out another bottle of medicine from her body, handed it to Cheng Beixiao, and said, "There is also this bottle, probably this one, you can see if this bottle can detoxify it first?"

Cheng Beixiao took the medicine bottle from Bai Zhiyuan, put it to his nose and smelled it, then poured it out and looked at it. After observing it carefully for a moment, he said happily: "It's this bottle, this bottle is the antidote."

Then, he suddenly realized, "It turns out that this medicine is missing. These days, you were not here, but I have been trying to prepare the antidote, but nothing works. It turns out that one medicine is missing."

"By the way, where did you get the antidote? Did you meet a hermit master? This medicine is really amazing. When can you introduce that hermit master to me? I will definitely have a good discussion with him."

Bai Zhiyuan could no longer bear it and said, "Doctor Cheng, Master Cheng, the medicine has been obtained. Please help my brother detoxify first."

Cheng Beixiao then said: "Okay, okay, I am so happy."

After saying that, he turned around, took out a teacup, mixed the antidote that Bai Zhiyuan brought back into the tea, then walked to Bai Qiuze's bed and slowly fed him the medicine bit by bit.

Bai Tingxuan watched Bai Qiuze finish taking the medicine and asked, "When can my son wake up?"

Cheng Beixiao took out a silver needle and pierced Bai Qiuze a few more times, then said: "Give him the antidote again tonight. I think the toxins will be almost gone, and he should wake up soon."

Bai Zhiyuan was overjoyed after hearing this, thinking that all his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.

Bai Tingxuan and Princess Duanhui finally felt relieved.
