Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

When Bai Zhiyuan walked out of the hall, the palace road was long and wide. The cold wind blew the fine snow past her body. The fine snow fluttered on her face. The eaves and roofs of the palace were all covered with a layer of white snow, which created a unique scene.

But Bai Zhiyuan had no intention of appreciating it at the moment. She strode through the long palace corridor and arrived at the palace gate.

The carriage she had come in was still waiting for her. When Ling Xiao saw her coming out, he hurried over to greet her and asked, "Miss, are we going back home or...?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "Go to Xie's house."

Ling Xiao was stunned, but still followed Bai Zhiyuan into the carriage.

They were silent all the way. Ling Xiao felt that she couldn't understand her young lady anymore. In the past, the young lady had always kept a distance from General Yun Hui, but now she went to Xie Mansion in a swagger. She really didn't know what the young lady was thinking.

The carriage swayed all the way to Xie's house. As soon as it stopped, Bai Zhiyuan jumped off the carriage first and walked inside without stopping.

Ling Xiao followed closely behind.

Snowflakes were flying, and the sky was covered in silver. When Housekeeper Lin saw Bai Zhiyuan coming, he was delighted and hurried to greet him.

Bai Zhiyuan asked as he walked: "Uncle Lin, is General Xie awake?"

Steward Lin shook his head: "Not yet. Master Cheng has been watching over him. He said that he is fine and will wake up when the fever subsides."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded. Soon they arrived at Xie Yunsong's yard. Steward Lin and Bai Zhiyuan entered Xie Yunsong's room, while Cheng Beixiao sat beside them and watched.

Seeing this, Steward Lin's eyes turned and he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Cheng, didn't you just say that you had something important to do and had to leave for a while? Now that the county lady is here, you can leave first if you have something to do."

Cheng Beixiao didn't understand, and said, "What important matter do I have to attend to..."

He looked at Steward Lin winking at him, slapped his head, and immediately reacted, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I have something important to do, I have to leave first."

Cheng Beixiao turned to Bai Zhiyuan and said, "Sister Bai, please stay with Yunsong. He has not yet recovered from the fever in his body, so he may feel hot and cold. I have asked someone to prepare his medicine, and I think he will be well soon. You can feed him the medicine while it is hot."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded in agreement and asked, "When will he wake up?"

Cheng Beixiao: "I think he will wake up soon after drinking my medicine. Don't worry, he only has superficial injuries. I have already treated them for him. He is fine."

Bai Zhiyuan felt relieved and walked slowly to Xie Yunsong's bed, his eyes falling on his face. He was sleeping soundly now, but last night was really dangerous. However, such dangers were a daily occurrence in Xie Yunsong's life.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart suddenly ached. She sat beside Xie Yunsong's bed, staring at him without blinking.

Seeing this, Cheng Beixiao and Steward Lin had already pulled Ling Xiao and quietly retreated, leaving the two of them some space to be alone.

Before leaving, Steward Lin looked at the two people in the room with relief. Ever since his young master came back, he has been unhappy these days. Although the young master always had a cold face before, Steward Lin watched Xie Yunsong grow up since he was a child, and knew that he must be worried about his sweetheart. But he was just a small steward, and even if he was anxious, he could do nothing.

Although he was worried about the young master's injury this time, the worry and distress on Rong'an County Lord's face were self-evident because of this injury. If the two lovers were to get back together because of this injury, then his young master's injury was not in vain.

Steward Lin thought happily that he would have to go to the ancestral hall to burn incense for the master later. He was afraid that soon, the Xie Mansion would have a mistress.

The house became quiet again, with only the sound of falling snow outside, soft and gentle.

Bai Zhiyuan looked quietly at the man in front of him. He was lying there quietly, but he was still not very restful in his sleep, with a slight frown on his brows.

Bai Zhiyuan leaned over, slowly reached out his hand, and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door and Bai Zhiyuan abruptly retracted his hand.

She paused, stood up and opened the door. It was Tianxun, whom she had driven away a few days ago.

Tianxun felt a little embarrassed when he saw him, and said, "County Lady, this is the Master's medicine. Master Cheng ordered me to take good care of it."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded, took the medicine bowl, and seemed to remember something, and asked, "Tianxun, how long has Xie Yunsong been visiting me tonight?"

Tian Xun was stunned for a moment, but still answered honestly: "He came here when the young master came back from the northern border, and then he came here almost every night."

Tianxun was afraid that Bai Zhiyuan would be angry about this, so he explained, "County Lady, don't blame the young master. He just wanted to see you. He has no ill intentions..."

"I know!" Bai Zhiyuan interrupted him, and then said: "When he wakes up, you should go back to my house."

"Ah?" Tianxun was stunned. When he realized what Bai Zhiyuan had just said, he immediately said happily, "Okay. County Master, you don't blame my young master anymore, right?"

Bai Zhiyuan didn't answer, but said to him, "You go down first. I'll feed him the medicine."

Tianxun was even more delighted after hearing this and said, "Okay, okay."

Finally, under Bai Zhiyuan's gaze, he slowly left the room. He couldn't help but grinning until Bai Zhiyuan closed the door.

Bai Zhiyuan held the medicine bowl, turned and walked towards Xie Yunsong's bed, put the bowl down, slowly helped him up, leaned him against his body, then picked up the medicine bowl and fed him the medicine bit by bit.

After feeding him the medicine, she helped him lie down, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the medicine stains on the corners of his mouth, and covered him with a blanket. After doing all this, she sat down next to him again.

Bai Zhiyuan recalled that when she was in the northern border, she was attacked by Yu Huangqing and was in a coma for three days. She thought Xie Yunsong had taken care of her in the same way. Now it was her turn to take care of him. Xie Yunsong, who had always been strong, was as fragile as a child at this moment.

Bai Zhiyuan reached out his hand again and gently covered his face. He secretly said in his heart: "Xie Yunsong, I will protect you."

At some point, Bai Zhiyuan fell into a deep sleep in front of Xie Yunsong's bed.

Xie Yunsong woke up in the middle of the night. He slowly opened his eyes and his thoughts gradually came back to him. Last night was really dangerous. If Bai Zhiyuan hadn't tried his best to save him, he would have died. It was also his fault that he was too careless and almost implicated Ayuan.

Xie Yunsong moved his fingers, but felt one of his hands being tightly grasped by someone. He turned his head and saw Bai Zhiyuan sleeping soundly beside his bed. Her hand was tightly holding his in her sleep.

Xie Yunsong's eyes were suddenly filled with tenderness, and he turned his head to stare at Bai Zhiyuan motionlessly. He stretched out his other hand, and gently stroked her face with his fingertips, caressing it softly with his warm fingertips.

Bai Zhiyuan seemed to sense something and woke up suddenly. He opened his eyes and met Xie Yunsong's eyes.

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned, and asked in a daze: "Are you awake? Are you still in pain?"

Xie Yunsong did not answer, but looked at her bright red lips, his eyes gradually darkening. The next moment, he raised his body slightly, lowered his head and kissed her.

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes widened and her eyelashes trembled. She wanted to push him away, but was afraid of touching his wound.

Forget it, why would two people who truly love each other waste time?
