Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

For several days, Xie Yunsong was so busy that when Bai Zhiyuan woke up during the day, he had already left, and he would only come back after she fell asleep every day.

Bai Zhiyuan knew that the Prince of Jin had been in dire straits these days, with suspicions rising in the court. In addition, the Emperor was still in a coma, and the only witness, Eunuch Gao, was dead and could not testify. The Prince of Jin's current situation was not optimistic.

Xie Yunsong and Cheng Beixiao joined forces with Li Mi to set up controls everywhere in order to prevent the Prince of Yan from taking action early.

However, several days passed and nothing happened.

Early in the morning, Bai Zhiyuan opened his eyes and touched the bed beside him. As expected, Xie Yunsong had left.

She sighed softly, slowly stood up and put on her clothes.

When she got off the couch, she saw Xie Yunsong walking in from outside.

Bai Zhiyuan was a little surprised and asked, "Why didn't you go out today?"

Xie Yunsong said: "Prince Jin has been staying indoors for the past few days, but the rumors are still spreading. The court is in chaos now, the emperor has not woken up, and there is no backbone for all the affairs in the court. If it continues like this, I am afraid there will be chaos."

Bai Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Prince Yan is so calm. Has anything happened in the palace recently?"

Xie Yunsong replied, "Nothing happened. After Eunuch Gao died, his apprentice took over his position. In the past few days, apart from the imperial physician, the young eunuch has been serving the emperor. But the emperor still shows no signs of waking up, and the imperial physicians are helpless."

"Little eunuch? What's your name?"

Although Xie Yunsong was surprised that she would ask a young eunuch's name, he still replied: "I don't know his name, but I heard everyone call him Eunuch Li."

"Eunuch Li?" Bai Zhiyuan murmured.

Soon, she thought of her past life. Although, there was no emperor in coma in her past life, after the death of Prince Chen, the power of Prince Jin was far inferior to that of Prince Yan, so Prince Yan naturally became the crown prince. But she had an impression of this eunuch Li.

In her previous life, after the Prince of Yan became the Crown Prince, she was placed under house arrest in the Prince of Yan's mansion. But she had visited the Prince of Yan several times, and once met this Eunuch Li in his study.

But in the previous life, when Eunuch Gao was still alive, this Eunuch Li was just a small eunuch under Eunuch Gao. Now it seems that this Eunuch Li may have also contributed to Qi Zeyi's path to becoming the crown prince.

Seeing that Bai Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something, Xie Yunsong couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses and said, "This eunuch Li is the Prince of Yan's man. Now that he is in power, we need to pay more attention to him. The emperor's edict has not yet appeared in the world, and I don't know what role this eunuch Li plays in it. I don't know why, but I have been feeling uneasy these days. You must pay attention to your safety!"

Xie Yunsong held her in his arms and comforted her, "Don't worry, everything will be settled soon. When the time comes, we will leave Shangjing and I will take you around."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I will go back to the Bai Mansion today. The situation has been bad recently. I am worried about my father and brother, so I want to go back."

Xie Yunsong said, "Okay, I have to go to the palace soon and can't accompany you. Let Tianxun accompany you."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll take Tianxun and Xia Qing with me."

Xie Yunsong: "It's been a while since the outside world has been peaceful, so it's better to be extra careful."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

Xie Yunsong leaned down and pecked her lightly on the corner of her mouth.

Bai Zhiyuan coughed twice and said unnaturally, "Someone is here."

Ling Xiao had already turned her head away with foresight, while Xie Yunsong patted her head and said, "Come back earlier. I can come back earlier today, too. I'll take you for a walk outside."

Bai Zhiyuan naturally agreed and said with a smile: "Okay!"

After Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan had packed up, they went out together and got on two carriages. Bai Zhiyuan went to the Bai Mansion, while Xie Yunsong's carriage went to the direction of the imperial palace.

King Qi Zeyi of Yan stood in the room, listening to the reports from his subordinates with a deep look in his eyes.

Since the emperor fell into a coma, he has been acting like a filial son, and of course his purpose is just to find the whereabouts of the imperial edict. These days, he has lived in the palace and personally boiled water and boiled medicine for the emperor.

People who didn't know him would really be impressed by his filial piety. From time to time, people in the court would write memorials praising his merits and filial piety.

Qi Zeyi naturally didn't mind his fame. When serving the emperor, he didn't need to tamper with the medicine. Even the imperial doctors were helpless in treating the disease, so he didn't need to do anything.

However, Qi Zeyi frowned, thinking that the emperor would remain unconscious until his death, and he would find the imperial edict and destroy it, then forge a fake one and ascend the throne naturally. But now, he still couldn't find the imperial edict.

Qi Zeyi was puzzled and unwilling to give in. This mentality had made him very twisted. He had worked hard over the years to get rid of the Prince of Chen. But in the end, the emperor gradually alienated him. He also gave up the last bit of kindness in his heart and poisoned the emperor's food.

Since ancient times, there has never been bloodless regicide and succession. He no longer struggled with this decision, as he would definitely be the one who had the last laugh.

Now, although the Prince of Jin could compete with him, the Concubine Xian and he were in the spotlight, and everyone suspected that they had poisoned the emperor. Of course, all of this was his plan. If he could, he would have wanted to cut the Prince of Jin and Xie Yunsong into pieces.

Just now, his subordinates came to report that Xie Yunsong went to the palace to look for Prince Jin, while Bai Zhiyuan returned to the Bai Mansion.

Then, a more vicious idea emerged in Qi Zeyi's mind.

Qi Zeyi stood quietly for a moment, clenched his fists, and looked deep in his thoughts. Then he summoned Bai Yu and whispered something in his ear.

Bai Yu showed a surprised expression, but soon bowed his head and left respectfully.

After Bai Yu left, Qi Zeyi let go of his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the clouds outside the palace wall, and a sneer slowly emerged from his face.

Bai Zhiyuan arrived at the Bai Mansion and talked for a long time with his father, grandfather and brother Bai Qiuze in the study. All of them were analyses of the current situation, and he repeatedly told them to go out less and not meet court officials in the near future.

Princess Duanhui didn't care about those state affairs. She only knew that her daughter had returned, so she ordered people to prepare rich food. However, after waiting for a long time, her daughter did not come out.

After thinking it over, he knocked on the study door and interrupted them.

"Ayuan, I finally came back once, but you guys always restrict her from talking, and I can't even see my daughter."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mother, I was wrong. I came back too little."

Princess Duanhui said: "It's not your fault. Now that you're married, you can't go back to your parents' home every day!"

"Stop talking about this. Mother has prepared many dishes that you like. Let's go to the front hall to eat!"

Bai Zhiyuan then realized that he was hungry, and under the guidance of his mother, the whole family sat down to eat.

As soon as they sat down, Qi Shuyue came back. When she saw Bai Zhiyuan, her face looked a little unnatural, but she quickly said, "Cousin, how come you have time to come back today?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I came back to take a look. What has my cousin been doing these days? Why does it look like she came back from outside?"

Qi Shuyue was startled for a moment, then said, "I was just strolling around Shangjing City, listening to some music, and buying some clothes and jewelry."

Bai Zhiyuan didn't think much about it. Qi Shuyue has always been a restless person and likes to run outside.

King Jingyang was dissatisfied and said, "Girls, don't go crazy outside all day long. Stay in the mansion and we will go back to Wudu after a while."

The strange thing is that Qi Shuyue seemed not to have heard it today and did not reply.

After the meal, Bai Zhiyuan was about to set off to return to Xie's house. Before leaving today, he promised Xie Yunsong to go back early.

Although Princess Duanhui and Bai Tingxuan were reluctant, they did not stop him.

Bai Qiuze said, "My sister came back too soon."

Bai Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Brother, don't wait for me to come back all day, go out and meet new friends, and ask Miss Su to go out for a walk."

Bai Qiuze choked and couldn't utter another word.

Bai Zhiyuan was about to leave for home, but unexpectedly Qi Shuyue came up and said, "Cousin, I'm tired of staying in Bai's house. Can you take me to Xie's house to stay for two days?"

Before Bai Zhiyuan could say anything, he heard King Jingyang angrily say, "Ridiculous! Your cousin is already married, how can you follow her?"

Qi Shuyue curled her lips and said, "It's just a two-day stay, why does grandpa have to be so magnanimous!"

Bai Zhiyuan hurriedly comforted King Jingyang and said, "Grandfather, it's okay. If you want to go, go ahead. I'll be alone on weekdays."

King Jingyang calmed down a little and said, "You are newly married now..."

"It's okay!" Bai Zhiyuan said.

Only then did King Jingyang allow Bai Zhiyuan and Qi Shuyue to get on the carriage.
