Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After Master Qingyi left, Bai Zhiyuan lay on the bed, thinking about what Master Qingyi said, and fell asleep in a daze.

Bai Zhiyuan was restless in his sleep, and had nightmares all the time. He dreamed that his eyes were gouged out, that he lost his legs, that his father and brother died tragically, that Jiang Muyun had a smug look, and that Qi Zeyi had a cold expression.

"Ah...Father...don't..." Bai Zhiyuan woke up in shock.

When she opened her eyes, Master Qingyi, her brother, and even Xie Yunsong were all there.

Before she could speak, Bai Qiuze saw that she had woken up and said in surprise, "Sister, you finally woke up. We were so scared. You had a fever and have been in a coma for two days. You were having nightmares. What did you dream about? You were crying and shouting in your dreams."

Bai Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat: "I didn't say anything."

Bai Qiuze shook his head, "You kept calling me father, and the rest of the time you were just yelling."

Bai Qiuze walked over and hugged Bai Zhiyuan: "It's okay, Ayuan, don't be afraid."

Bai Zhiyuan felt like he was back in his childhood when he heard this. His heart ached, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind. His eyes became wet, and he began to sob softly, and then burst into tears, his cry was sad and unbearable.

Xie Yunsong was stunned watching from the side. He had never seen a woman cry so sadly.

He thought to himself: "The Bai Zhiyuan at Lingxia Temple that day is completely different from the Bai Zhiyuan today. Which one is the real Bai Zhiyuan?

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zhiyuan gradually stopped crying, leaving only soft sobbing.

Bai Qiuze was beside him, at a loss as to what to do. In the end, he could only pat Bai Zhiyuan on the back.

After a long time, Bai Zhiyuan stopped crying completely.

She looked up, her eyes were red and swollen, and she felt embarrassed when she saw everyone looking at her.

Slowly she spoke in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, I just dreamed that my father died. When I saw my brother, I couldn't help it..."

Xie Yunsong understood what he said. When his father died, he wanted to cry, but he couldn't because he had 300,000 soldiers behind him. He held back his tears, put on his armor, and fulfilled his father's last wish.

Master Qingyi felt Bai Zhiyuan's pulse again, touched her head, and found that her fever had subsided. He brought the medicine bowl and then spoke, "Ayuan, drink the medicine quickly. Your fever has subsided and you are fine now."

Bai Zhiyuan drank the medicine obediently, and she frowned because it tasted bitter.

Seeing this, Xie Yunsong smiled and said, "Miss Bai is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid of bitter medicine."

This one sentence made Bai Zhiyuan blush.

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly thought of Liu Huaisu and asked Xie Yunsong, "General Xie, has Liu Huaisu confessed?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunsong replied, "I have confessed. I have already sent the confession back to the capital as fast as I can. Now that the plague in Liuzhou has subsided, we will also set off for the capital soon. I heard that Miss Bai's parents have also arrived in the capital. Miss Bai must be homesick."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled brightly when he heard the good news: "Okay, we'll set off today and should be able to reach Shangjing by New Year's Eve."

Xie Yunsong continued, "When you were in a coma that day, Wen Zhixian came to see me. He was grateful to you for asking Master to treat his wife. Although his wife has not fully recovered, she is getting better than before."

"He also confessed the cause of the plague. It was because many pigs in Liuzhou were infected with swine fever a few months ago and passed it on to humans. When Liu Huaisu first learned about it, he did not take it seriously. Later, when he found that more and more people were infected, he panicked. He ordered people to burn all the sick people to death. We all know what happened next."

Bai Zhiyuan thought cruelly: "What about Wen Zhixian's testimony?"

"It has been sent to Shangjing along with Liu Huaisu's confession."

Bai Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "The plague has finally come to an end."

"Yes, sister, General Xie wrote a letter to the emperor to reduce Liuzhou's taxes. Now everyone in Liuzhou is praising General Xie for being Liuzhou's fortune." Bai Qiuze said excitedly.

Bai Zhiyuan glanced at Xie Yunsong, thought for a while, and said, "General Xie, do you still remember that day when you returned to Beijing, you were assassinated outside Shangjing City, and I saved you. You gave me a jade pendant at that time, but I didn't bring it with me when I came to Liuzhou this time, and it fell in my home in Shangjing."

Hearing this, Xie Yunsong's eyes flashed with a strange look: "Of course I remember. I promised that if Miss Bai has any difficulties, she can come to me. But is Miss Bai encountering any difficulties now?"

Bai Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "It's not that difficult. It's just that there is something I need General Xie's help with."

Xie Yunsong heard this and said, "Miss Bai, you can go ahead and say whatever you want."

Bai Zhiyuan said word by word: "The general has made great contributions to the cessation of the plague. His Majesty will definitely reward me when I return to the capital. I want to cancel my engagement with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan at the reward banquet. At that time, please ask General Xie to help me persuade the Queen Mother to cancel my engagement."

Xie Yunsong looked at Bai Zhiyuan in disbelief, and regained his composure after a while: "Miss Bai, do you know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is the most sought-after candidate for the crown prince?"

"of course I know."

Xie Yunsong stared at Bai Zhiyuan in a daze, "Since you knew, why did you cancel the engagement?"

Bai Zhiyuan also looked back at Xie Yunsong and said slowly, "Because I don't want to marry him, and he also has someone in his heart. Since this is an unwilling engagement, why not end it and let both of us be free, isn't that good?"

Bai Qiuze was beside him, so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he found his voice again, "Sister, are you crazy? Do you know how much effort father put into getting you this marriage?"

Bai Zhiyuan raised his voice and said, "I know. But this marriage is not what I want. The King of Yan is not a good man. Brother, there is no need to say anything more. I have made up my mind."

Bai Qiuze was stunned and wanted to say something. At this time, Xie Yunsong said, "Xie will do his best to help Miss Bai break up the engagement."

Bai Qiuze was startled and said hurriedly: "General Xie, my sister is making trouble, why are you following her..."

Master Qingyi, who had been silent the whole time, patted Bai Qiuze on the shoulder and said, "Since Ayuan has made her decision, let's follow her wish. Ayuan knows what she is doing."

Bai Qiuze was anxious: "Master, why are you..."

After Master Qingyi finished speaking, he walked out.

Xie Yunsong glanced at Bai Zhiyuan and left.

Bai Qiuze wanted to say something, but Bai Zhiyuan had already laid down with his back to him, as if ordering him to leave.

Bai Qiuze touched his nose, embarrassed, and finally had to turn around and leave.
