Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Ever since Bai Zhiyuan was captured, everyone in the capital has become even more anxious.

In the past few days, everyone who had some connection with the Xie Mansion came to express their condolences. Princess Duanhui was so anxious that she fell ill on the bed after hearing the news. Prince Jingyang and Bai Tingxuan wanted to turn the entire Shangjing upside down. Bai Qiuze also searched for people day and night, but unfortunately he returned empty-handed.

Xie Yunsong searched for people day and night without sleep. Prince Jin also sent his capable generals to join forces with Li Mi, the leader of the Yulin Army. They were almost about to turn Shangjing over, but still found nothing.

Bai Zhiyuan seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.

In the palace, everyone was doing their own things with a solemn expression. Even the usually cheerful palace maids and eunuchs had bitter faces on their faces and dared not utter a word, for fear of angering their masters.

Ever since the emperor fell ill, things have been going wrong one after another in the palace. First, Eunuch Gao died, and now the wife of General Yun Hui, the Princess of Rong'an County, has also disappeared.

Things have been going wrong in the palace lately.

Looking ahead, the newly promoted Eunuch Li was swinging his whisk and ordering several young eunuchs to do things. Half a month ago, this Eunuch Li was just an unknown young eunuch who followed Eunuch Gao all day long and had the lowest status in the palace. He was dumb and clumsy, and always made mistakes. If it weren't for Eunuch Gao's support, I'm afraid he would have died many times.

As a result, when Eunuch Gao died, rumors in the palace pointed the finger at Prince Jin and his son. Concubine Rou now took over the power, and Eunuch Li took advantage of the situation to rise to the top, and was promoted to Chief Eunuch by Concubine Rou.

Nowadays, Eunuch Li has become more powerful and has the final say on all matters in the palace.

Unlike the chaotic environment in Shangjing, Bai Zhiyuan's environment was very quiet and elegant. Except for the maid, she didn't see anyone every day. The house was fully equipped, but Qi Zeyi never showed up.

Bai Zhiyuan could only keep calm and try her best to adapt to the environment here. Qi Zeyi was afraid that she would run away, so he put drugs that made her weak in her food every day, which made her unable to recover her strength.

She could only be patient and recuperate here every day. Once she could recover her martial arts, she must leave here as soon as possible.

On this day, the weather was a bit gloomy, and it started to rain early in the morning. The autumn rain brings a chill, and the rain never stops.

Bai Zhiyuan was standing in front of the window, staring at the dripping rain in a daze. Suddenly, the door was pushed open and someone walked in.

The footsteps were different from those of the maid on weekdays. On weekdays, the maid's footsteps were very light, and Bai Zhiyuan sometimes couldn't hear her voice. But now, although the footsteps were also light, they were obviously a bit arrogant.

Bai Zhiyuan turned his head, showing a hint of surprise.

The person standing at the door was none other than Jiang Muyun, Bai Zhiyuan's enemy from her previous life, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Although she was wearing a mask, she was wearing a long red dress with patterns drawn with gold threads. Even in this simple room, it seemed to be shining. It was obvious that she must have put a lot of thought into dressing up to see Bai Zhiyuan today.

This scene reminded Bai Zhiyuan of the time before her death in her previous life, when the arrogant Jiang Muyun married Qi Zeyi to show off to her, a blind person, and told her the truth that had been hidden from her all along.

Bai Zhiyuan slowly curled her lips. This was not her previous life, and she was not at the end of her rope. Jiang Muyun must have learned about her abduction from the King of Yan, and couldn't wait to come and add insult to injury.

She didn't expect that Jiang Muyun, who had her face disfigured and lost the favor of Prince Yan, was just living a miserable life. But now it seems that she should be living well in Prince Yan's mansion. After all, Prince Yan still has some feelings for her, so he didn't completely dislike her.

Bai Zhiyuan hid the smile on her lips.

"Bai Zhiyuan." Jiang Muyun said slowly.

Bai Zhiyuan: "Long time no see, Aunt Jiang!"

Jiang Muyun hated this title the most in her life. It reminded her of her miserable past. She could have been the wife of the Prince of Yan, but it was all thanks to this man in front of her. She was disfigured and lost the favor of her husband. Now she had nothing. She could only rely on the little affection she had with the Prince of Yan in the past to save her life and survive.

How could she not hate him? It was because of this hatred in her heart that she climbed up again. She began to learn to be perverse and tried her best to please the King of Yan. This time, it was also her who gave the King of Yan the idea to get close to Bai Zhiyuan's cousin Qi Shuyue and use Qi Shuyue to deal with Bai Zhiyuan.

You know, it is extremely difficult to kidnap Bai Zhiyuan on weekdays. Not to mention that Bai Zhiyuan is smart and cautious, and her martial arts are very strong. It is almost a pipe dream to kidnap her in the busy streets of Shangjing.

But with Qi Shuyue's help, Bai Zhiyuan was not on guard against her, and they succeeded easily.

Since Jiang Muyun learned that the King of Yan had successfully abducted Bai Zhiyuan, she wanted to come here to see Bai Zhiyuan, just to see her miserable appearance with her own eyes. But several times, the King of Yan disagreed and did not allow anyone to disturb Bai Zhiyuan. She didn't even know where Bai Zhiyuan was.

However, she did not give up. She knew Qi Zeyi's feelings for Bai Zhiyuan very well, and she could accompany her and persuade her to prevent her from doing anything stupid because she was familiar with Bai Zhiyuan.

At first, King Qi Zeyi of Yan did not give in. He was not stupid and knew that Jiang Muyun would not be so kind. Until that day, someone came to report that Bai Zhiyuan wanted to see him, otherwise he would force his way out.

Although Qi Zeyi put her under house arrest, he just didn't want Bai Zhiyuan to ruin his plans, and didn't want to hurt her. After all, he couldn't bear to do that to Bai Zhiyuan.

When he learned the news, he finally agreed to let Jiang Muyun meet Bai Zhiyuan first.

He didn't know what to say when he saw Bai Zhiyuan. Should he question her or would she be soft-hearted? It would be better to let Jiang Muyun test Bai Zhiyuan's attitude first.

Therefore, Jiang Muyun thought that the King of Yan still cared about her after all and agreed to let her visit Bai Zhiyuan. She dressed up carefully just to win back in front of Bai Zhiyuan.

But Bai Zhiyuan didn't seem to care, and there was still a hint of mockery on her face, as if the person under house arrest was not her.

Jiang Muyun was a little annoyed. She didn't expect that Bai Zhiyuan's miserable appearance as she had imagined did not appear. Instead, she still had a calm temperament.

Bai Zhiyuan was not worried about what Jiang Muyun would do to her at this moment. Now was the critical moment in the fight for the throne, and Qi Zeyi would never allow her to get hurt now.

Jiang Muyun came here today, dressed so carefully, just to humiliate her.

Jiang Muyun curled his lips and said, "I thought you were so capable that you wouldn't be kidnapped so easily. It seems that I overestimated you. It seems that being under house arrest here is really boring."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled slightly and asked, "Did Qi Zeyi ask you to come? Let him come to see me!"

Jiang Muyun smiled slowly and said, "You are now the general's wife, why did His Highness come to see you?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "I am somewhat impressed by you. You actually managed to get Qi Zeyi to agree to let you come here to see me."

Jiang Muyun had a ferocious smile on her face, but it couldn't be seen clearly because of the veil. She had long lost the favor of King Yan, and now she had nothing, all thanks to the man in front of her. However, her every move still seemed to be glorious. How could she not hate him?

Jiang Muyun no longer concealed his feelings and said bitterly, "You must be very proud to see me like this, right? But don't forget, today you are the fish and I am the knife."

Bai Zhiyuan chuckled, his face full of sarcasm, "I used to dislike you and hate you, but now you are not worthy of my attention at all. You are not worth my attention, let alone my pride."

Jiang Muyun was extremely angry when she heard this. Bai Zhiyuan always managed to provoke her anger easily. She couldn't bear it any longer and pushed Bai Zhiyuan out with a palm.

Before she came, she knew that Bai Zhiyuan had been poisoned and now had lost all his strength. He was no different from an ordinary person and couldn't even beat an ordinary person. Although her martial arts skills were not as good as Bai Zhiyuan's, she had learned martial arts from Master Qingyi, so she was more than capable of dealing with an unarmed Bai Zhiyuan.

At this moment, Jiang Muyun was furious and had completely forgotten what King Yan had told her before leaving not to hurt Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan was indeed unarmed and was pushed away by her palm. He fell to the ground and was unable to get up for a long time. He even spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

Seeing Jiang Muyun in such an embarrassing state for the first time, she became even more excited. She pulled out the dagger hidden on her body, stepped closer to Bai Zhiyuan, and said, "I want you to have a taste of disfigurement. I want to see if His Highness and your husband will still be devoted to you if you are disfigured."

Bai Zhiyuan pretended to be terrified and took a few steps back, which made Jiang Muyun even more arrogant. He raised the dagger and was about to stab it into Bai Zhiyuan's face.

The next moment, King Yan kicked the door open and slapped Jiang Muyun away.

Amid Jiang Muyun's screams, he slowly approached Bai Zhiyuan and stretched out his hand to her.

Bai Zhiyuan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Without even looking at the hand he extended to her, he slowly stood up and said with a smile: "You finally showed up!"
