Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

Qi Zeyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and said, "You knew I was coming a long time ago?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You have gone to great lengths to imprison me here, how could you possibly let this idiot kill me? You asked her to come just to test my opinion, but you may not really trust her and you will definitely come in person. I was just betting just now that you would definitely stop it. Now it seems that I won the bet."

Jiang Muyun finally reacted, and climbed up despite the pain, kneeling in front of King Yan, and said: "Your Highness, she deliberately angered me, I absolutely dare not disobey your order."

Bai Zhiyuan laughed sarcastically and said, "You don't have to explain. Your Highness just heard it clearly outside."

Jiang Muyun's heart skipped a beat, and before she could even speak again for mercy, King Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Muyun's neck. As his grip tightened, Jiang Muyun began to have difficulty breathing, and her face turned red. She kept waving her hands, but King Yan had a faint, cruel smile on his lips, as if he was appreciating her expression.

Bai Zhiyuan's expression did not change at all, as if the person in front of her was not worthy of her attention.

After a long time, when Jiang Muyun felt that she was about to suffocate, King Yan finally let go of her hand. Jiang Muyun was free, and began to breathe heavily, coughing desperately, unable to utter a word.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at everything in front of him coldly, feeling disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

King Yan took out the handkerchief he carried with him, wiped his hands, and said to Bai Zhiyuan, "Are you satisfied?"

Bai Zhiyuan laughed sarcastically and said, "After all, this is your family affair. How can I be satisfied?"

"If the Prince of Yan wants to teach a concubine a lesson, isn't it easy? But I didn't expect that the Prince of Yan would be so negligent in managing the backyard. Before, there was Chenxiang, and now there is Jiang Muyun. If someone with ulterior motives knew about this, wouldn't they ridicule Your Highness?"

Bai Zhiyuan's words successfully made Qi Zeyi look at Jiang Muyun with murderous intent. Jiang Muyun shuddered violently. She calmed down and said, "Your Highness, Bai Zhiyuan must be trying to sow discord between you and me, so that she can have a chance to escape."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "I have lost all my strength now. I can't even beat you, so how can I escape?"

Jiang Muyun choked and said, "Your Highness, Bai Zhiyuan has always held a grudge against me. You must not listen to her!"

Bai Zhiyuan: "I told you, I don't care about you at all, so how can I hold a grudge against you? But you have always held a grudge against me, right?"

Jiang Muyun: "Of course I hate you! It was you who left me to die outside the capital, which led to my disfigurement. After returning to the capital, you caused my father to die unjustly, and my whole family was buried with him. I should have been the principal wife of the Prince of Yan, but because of you, I could only be a lowly concubine and had to live under your shadow. How can I not hate you?"

Bai Zhiyuan laughed sarcastically and said, "It's up to me whether I save you or not. I didn't save you on purpose that day. What can you do? As for your father, it's just his own fault. If he didn't want to harm my Bai family, why would he tie himself up in knots? Whether you become the principal wife or concubine of the King of Yan is not up to me. What does it have to do with me?"

Jiang Muyun listened to Bai Zhiyuan's words and couldn't help but ask, "Back in Zhongnan Mountain, you and I were like sisters, but why did you suddenly target me? Did you find out that His Highness had a crush on me and deliberately hurt me?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled contemptuously and said, "I did discover your affair, but that's not enough for me to treat you like this. I'm targeting you everywhere because..."

Bai Zhiyuan paused, then curled his lips and said, "It's because we had a grudge in our previous life!"

Jiang Muyun was furious when she heard this. She felt that Bai Zhiyuan was teasing her today and deliberately angering her in front of Qi Zeyi. But she couldn't help but get angry every time, as if she could never get any advantage from Bai Zhiyuan.

Jiang Muyun wanted to say something, but Qi Zeyi interrupted him violently, "That's enough!"

Jiang Muyun was frightened by him and didn't dare to speak again.

Qi Zeyi waved his hand impatiently and said, "You go out first!"

Jiang Muyun was stunned for a moment, then realized that King Yan was talking to her. Jiang Muyun showed an unwilling look on her face, but she was helpless. She could only flick her sleeves and walk out angrily.

After Jiang Muyun left, Qi Zeyi stared at Bai Zhiyuan quietly. He had seen countless women in his life, and many women wanted to be the Princess of Yan and threw themselves at him. But when facing Bai Zhiyuan, he would have a strange feeling in his heart, a kind of possessiveness towards her. He asked himself that he was not an indecisive person, but when facing Bai Zhiyuan, he would often be more tolerant of her than others, not only because of their past affection, but also because he found that he could not help but care about her.

Bai Zhiyuan had just received a palm strike from Jiang Muyun, and her face was a little pale at this moment. Qi Zeyi could not help but feel distressed. In fact, he could have killed Bai Zhiyuan with a sword and sent her body to Xie's house. Then, when Xie Yunsong and Bai Tingxuan found out, they would be too sad to care about the palace. Then, the King of Jin would lose his powerful general, and he would have a better chance of winning. If it was someone else, he would have no hesitation, but this person was Bai Zhiyuan, and he could not do it.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Qi Zeyi's unpredictable expression and said, "I knew you would come. You approached Qi Shuyue and brought me here. I know what you want to do, but I tell you, you will not succeed."

Qi Zeyi was startled and asked, "Do you know where the imperial edict is?"

Bai Zhiyuan shook his head: "I don't know, but you and the emperor are father and son. You must know what kind of character the emperor has. He must have a backup plan."

Qi Zeyi was confused. The emperor was indeed like this. He was suspicious by nature and always left room for maneuver. Since he had issued the imperial edict, he must have found a safe place, but where was this place? He searched all the ministers of the emperor's relatives, but the imperial edict seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and could not be found.

The more Qi Zeyi thought about it, the more sinister his expression became, completely different from his usual gentle appearance. If Qi Shuyue was here, she would definitely be amazed. Is this the King of Yan that she knew?

He said viciously: "Ayuan, don't think about leading me by the nose. I have the arrow on the string and I have to shoot it. If I can't find the imperial edict, I will have other ways to ascend the throne. You should know that this is the position I have been pursuing all my life."

"What a pity." Qi Zeyi paused and said, "What a pity that you have already married Xie Yunsong, otherwise my position as queen would definitely be yours."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered and said, "Is this how His Royal Highness Prince Yan deceived my cousin? The position of Queen? I don't care at all."

Qi Zeyi seemed surprised and said, "Ayuan, sometimes I don't know what you want. What Xie Yunsong can give you, I can also give you. We also have the friendship we have in Zhongnan Mountain..."

"Zhongnan Mountain?" Bai Zhiyuan said coldly, "You dare to mention Zhongnan Mountain? You and Jiang Muyun secretly did it under my nose and took me for a fool. You were so cruel that you attacked Master several times. People like you will not give up until you achieve your goal. How can I be in collusion with someone like you!"

Qi Zeyi was speechless. His face changed several times and he said, "Ayuan, stop struggling in vain. Now that you are under house arrest here, you can't stop me. If you regret it now, it's not too late."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered and said, "I won't regret it. I am trapped here now, and I have lost all my strength. Even Jiang Muyun can bully me, but if one day I can leave, I will never let her go. As for that time, maybe the dust has settled, but no matter how I ascend to the throne, I hope you don't hurt Xie Yunsong."

The last sentence was almost a plea from Bai Zhiyuan. Qi Zeyi had never seen Bai Zhiyuan like this before. She was always outspoken and always looked disdainful in front of him, but today she was almost begging him for Xie Yunsong. He felt a pain in his heart and said, "You should know how much I hate him. If I could, I would cut him into pieces. How could I let him go?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "If he dies, I will never live alone. Since His Royal Highness Prince Yan is not going to let us go and has made up his mind, you should go now. The winner is still to be decided and it is not certain who will have the last laugh!"

Qi Zeyi was silent for a moment, clenched his fists, took one last look at Bai Zhiyuan, and strode away.

Bai Zhiyuan stood in front of the window and saw him talking to the maid about something and then leaving. Jiang Muyun glanced fiercely in her direction and reluctantly followed the steps of King Yan.

Bai Zhiyuan in the room breathed a sigh of relief. She was now extremely sure that King Yan would take action soon, and she must find a way to escape from here before he did.
