Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Shen Zhiyi lifted the tent, and suddenly a cold wind mixed with snow blew towards him.

The strong cold air made Xie Yunsong sober up for a moment.

After Shen Zhiyi left, he picked up the secret letter again and read it carefully.

It is definitely a handwritten letter from the Queen Mother.

He was very familiar with the empress dowager's handwriting. When he was a child, his father was often away from home and his mother ignored him very much. Only the empress dowager would take him into the palace and teach him to read and write. His handwriting was all taught by the empress dowager.

Xie Yunsong has complicated feelings towards the Queen Mother. On the one hand, he remembers her care for him when he was a child, but on the other hand, he hates her for not saving his father. And now, she is interfering with his relationship with Bai Zhiyuan.

The secret letter read: If Xie Yunsong insists on having his own way and refuses to listen to advice and insists on being with Bai Zhiyuan, then the Queen Mother will use the same method to make Bai Tingxuan die on the battlefield, just like his father Xie Yu died.

No one knew better than Xie Yunsong how desperate his father was when the Northern Di invaded and he was isolated and helpless. He asked for help in the capital, but no one paid attention to him.

If Ayuan were to experience the same thing again, what would he do?

Xie Yunsong was in a state of confusion, and Shen Zhiyi's words rang in his ears again: "Do you want Bai Zhiyuan to feel the same powerlessness as you do, unable to save her own father? Yunsong, you can't be so selfish. If Bai Zhiyuan knew that this matter was caused by your relationship, how could she feel at ease to be with you?"

Xie Yunsong sat motionless, and he recalled Bai Zhiyuan's tearful narration of her dream. The tragic death of her relatives in the dream had already made her so painful. If her whole family really died because of him, would she really not hate herself?

Xie Yunsong was confused. He hadn't felt so isolated and helpless for a long time. Even on the battlefield, he was never afraid, but this time he was really afraid. He was afraid that the decision he made would completely lose Bai Zhiyuan.

Xie Yunsong just sat there quietly, reading the secret letter over and over again. He knew that although the situation in the southern border had improved, if the emperor wanted his subjects to die, they would have to die. The current emperor had always been wary of the military power of the southern and northern borders. If they wanted, there would be thousands of ways to make Bai Tingxuan die on the battlefield.

But what would Ayuan do if he found out the truth one day?

Xie Yunsong didn't dare to think about it anymore. He had experienced that kind of despair before. Did he want Bai Zhiyuan to experience it again?

The wind outside the tent was still blowing strongly, as if it was going to swallow up the entire north.

The snow seemed to be heavier, making it difficult for Xie Yunsong to see the road ahead.

Until he heard the sound of footsteps outside the tent, and someone seemed to be coming towards his tent through the wind and snow.

Xie Yunsong then came back to his senses and quickly put the secret letter under the thick military book.

The next moment, Bai Zhiyuan, who had braved the wind and snow, pushed the door open and walked in.

When he came in, he was stunned when he saw Xie Yunsong, then he walked closer to him and asked, "Didn't you take a break?"

When I approached him, I saw that Xie Yunsong looked very bad.

Bai Zhiyuan reached out and touched his forehead, saying, "You don't have a fever, why do you look so bad?"

Xie Yunsong stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Zhiyuan into his arms.

Bai Zhiyuan felt that Xie Yunsong was a little strange tonight and asked, "What happened?"

Xie Yunsong suppressed the pain in his eyes and said, "Nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Bai Zhiyuan sat on his lap, rubbed his head, and said worriedly: "We have been walking for so long, there must be a lot of military affairs to deal with, but you also need to rest more, your health is the most important, don't overwork yourself."

Xie Yunsong's eyes had lost their former calmness, and the pain in his heart enveloped him like thick ink.

He knew that Bai Zhiyuan was always smart, so he tried his best to hide his pain, fearing that Bai Zhiyuan would notice something.

Bai Zhiyuan hugged him and did not notice the sadness and hesitation in his eyes. He just thought that he was too tired today.

Xie Yunsong leaned his head against Bai Zhiyuan and asked slowly, "Ayuan, I forgot to ask you about the dream you told me before. How did you survive those painful days?"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned at first, then thought for a moment and said, "How can I survive this? After my family members died tragically, I was completely desperate and wanted to follow them countless times, but Qi Zeyi told me at that time that if I believed that my father was wronged, I should cheer up and seek justice for him."

"I have been assisting him with this belief, hoping that one day he will be strong enough to help my father overturn the case. But..."

Bai Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "But all of this is just lies he told me. When Qi Zeyi becomes the crown prince, he will kill this useless person like me as soon as possible."

Whenever Xie Yunsong heard her talk about this dream, he could feel her powerlessness and her resentment. Xie Yunsong's heart once again fell into boundless confusion. He didn't know whether he should tell Bai Zhiyuan everything about the secret letter.

In the Southern Territory, he saw with his own eyes how much Bai Zhiyuan loved her family. If her family was harmed because of him, how would he face her?

Xie Yunsong hugged Bai Zhiyuan tighter and tighter. Bai Zhiyuan thought he was just comforting him and said, "Fortunately, everything is fine now. My father, mother and brother are still here."

Xie Yunsong paused, then said with difficulty: "If one day, you were asked to choose between your family and me, what would you choose?"

Bai Zhiyuan was puzzled and asked, "Why do you ask? My family likes you very much."

Xie Yunsong didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Bai Zhiyuan would notice something. He shook his head and hugged her in his arms again.

Maybe I don't have many days left to hold her like this.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't know what he was thinking, so he hugged him back and comforted him, "Xie Yunsong, I've already followed you to the Northern Territory, do you still care about what I choose? Besides, there won't be such a day, and you and my family are not hostile. Why are you acting weird today, always asking weird questions?"

Xie Yunsong forced a smile and said, "Maybe I'm too tired. Ayuan is so outstanding that I'm a little worried."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed and jokingly said, "Are you, the great general Yunhui, so unconfident?"

Xie Yunsong curled his lower lip but said nothing.

After a long time, Bai Zhiyuan raised his head from his arms and said, "It's snowing heavily outside. It's very cold. You should go and have a rest."

Xie Yunsong nodded, and Bai Zhiyuan pulled him up and brought him to the bed.

Xie Yunsong let her play with him, and his eyes were filled with reluctance to let Bai Zhiyuan go from beginning to end.

Bai Zhiyuan was only concerned with comforting him to sleep and did not notice the pain and hesitation in his eyes.

The wind outside the tent was still blowing strongly and the snow was still falling heavily.

After Xie Yunsong closed his eyes, Bai Zhiyuan sat beside him and looked at his sleeping face quietly. Even though he was asleep, his brows were still cold.

After a while, Bai Zhiyuan saw that he was sleeping soundly, then he quietly left his tent and walked out.

But what she didn't know was that after she left, Xie Yunsong, who she thought was soundly asleep, slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.
