Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The King of Yan was so shocked that he stepped back repeatedly, and was extremely terrified in his heart.

Before he could recover from his shock, he heard Emperor Renxiao's eyes wide open, looking at him angrily and coldly, and said sternly: "Rebellious son, what else do you want to do?"

Prince Jin standing by seemed to have known that such a scene would happen, and his expression did not change at all.

There were still intermittent sounds of fighting coming from outside the house, but they seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

Prince Yan slowly regained his composure and came back to his senses from the shock. He pointed at Emperor Renxiao, but still couldn't hide his surprise and asked, "You...are you okay?"

After saying this, he came back to his senses and asked, "Have you been pretending to be sick all this time? You weren't poisoned at all, and you weren't unconscious?"

King Yan reacted quickly and asked, "Did you know this would happen?"

He laughed at himself and said, "No wonder Ah Yuan said you must have a trick up your sleeve. Yes, with your intelligence, how could you not have thought of what would happen if you fell ill? I was too impatient."

Emperor Renxiao said coldly: "It is true that I was unconscious, but Cheng Yuanheng tried his best to treat me, and I woke up a long time ago. The reason why I continued to pretend to be unconscious was to see how much I didn't know about you, a rebellious son."

Prince Yan raised his head abruptly and said, "So what? I may not lose. Father, are you so confident that you will be the winner tonight? All the people I brought here were trained by me."

King Jin said at the right time: "Fifth brother, don't be stubborn anymore."

The King of Yan was so angry that he said, "Shut up! Do you think you are the winner now? The outcome is still undecided. I will not lose. I will definitely not lose."

King Jin shook his head helplessly and said, "Fifth brother, by now your people have probably confessed their crimes and accepted punishment. Give up."

The King of Yan was incredulous and said, "Impossible, don't try to fool me."

Prince Jin: "Fifth brother, you have been here for so long, have any of your people come in to look for you?"

The King of Yan was shocked and felt very disappointed, but he still did not give up and said, "They are just fighting with the Yulin Army. They are about to defeat the Yulin Army."

Emperor Renxiao said in a voice as cold as ice: "What a fool!"

Then, he shouted outside: "Someone come!"

The next moment, Li Mi, the leader of the Yulin Army, pushed open the door and saluted to Emperor Renxiao, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

King Yan took a step back and asked, "What did you call him?"

Li Mi said: "Your Highness Prince of Yan may not know yet, but the Emperor has already appointed His Highness Prince of Jin as the Crown Prince of Dali."

Prince Yan was struck by lightning, and the muscles on his face kept contracting in anger. He never expected that what he had been pursuing all his life would be taken away so easily by Prince Jin, and now he looked like a joke.

The Prince of Yan began to laugh crazily. Li Mi and the Prince of Jin looked at each other. Seeing that Emperor Renxiao looked calm, the Prince of Jin said, "Fifth brother, stop it!"

The King of Yan turned around angrily, pointed his finger at the King of Jin and said, "Shut up! It's not a desperate situation yet. I will never admit defeat. I will kill all of you. This throne will only be mine."

As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed at King Jin madly.

Emperor Renxiao's face changed suddenly. Prince Jin reacted quickly and retreated, but Prince Yan refused to give in and moved faster and faster, as if Prince Jin was his mortal enemy and moved towards him.

Li Mi was startled and immediately drew his sword to knock the sword out of the King of Yan's hand. But the King of Yan was unwilling to give up and rushed towards the King of Jin with a roar.

Emperor Renxiao said angrily: "Quickly capture this rebellious son for me!"

Li Mi waved his hand, and a large number of Yulin Army soldiers rushed up and quickly subdued the Prince of Yan. The Prince of Yan was pinned to the ground and could not move.

When he looked up again, his hair had been scattered in the struggle, and his usually gentle face was completely ferocious, without any trace of the gentle and jade-like nobleman he usually looked like.

The King of Yan kept struggling, roaring, and shouting: "Let me go, if you dare to touch me, I will kill you all as soon as I ascend the throne - kill - kill -"

Emperor Renxiao threw back the quilt. Perhaps he had been lying down for too long, and his legs went weak when he got down from the bed. Prince Jin was quick to support him.

Emperor Renxiao pushed Prince Jin aside and walked a few steps to Prince Yan. Prince Yan was subdued by the Yulin Army and was still cursing. Emperor Renxiao used all his strength to slap Prince Yan in the face. He used all his strength to hit Prince Yan so that half of his face quickly swelled up. Emperor Renxiao felt unsatisfied and kicked Prince Yan a few more times. Prince Yan felt pain but did not beg for mercy. He said, "Kill me. I can't live anyway. You might as well kill me."

Emperor Renxiao was furious and said, "You rebellious son! Have I not been good to you? I helped you to sit on the throne of King Yan, and gave your mother honor and favor. What else are you not satisfied with? You dared to raise an army to rebel, and even wanted to kill me."

Prince Yan laughed out loud, his hair flying wildly as he laughed crazily, "You're good to me? When I was a child, I was bullied by Prince Chen, and you always protected him. Even Xie Yunsong could easily ride on my head. I took great pains to please you and tried my best to satisfy you, but I know that you never regarded me as your son. I was just a chess piece of yours. Whoever you wanted to be the emperor, I would be the chess piece used to check and balance that person."

"Hahaha--"

The King of Yan cried and laughed, "I am unwilling to accept this. Why can't I get what I want? I want the throne, and I fought hard for it. I wanted to marry Bai Zhiyuan, but you betrothed her to Xie Yunsong. Now that things have come to this, you can kill me!"

Emperor Renxiao could not hide his shock. He had not expected that this usually docile son actually had so many dissatisfactions with him and even rebelled in the end, embarking on a path of no return.

At this time, a eunuch came hurriedly and said to Emperor Renxiao: "Your Majesty, General Yunhui and Princess Rong'an heard that the palace was in trouble, so they brought a group of people and will be at your bedroom soon."

Emperor Renxiao waved his hand and said, "I understand. Let them come in directly!"

The eunuch took the order and left.

In a moment, Xie Yunsong brought Bai Zhiyuan and Lu Zhiling to the door of the bedroom.

"Meet the Emperor!"

Emperor Renxiao glanced at the two of them and said, "Stand up!"

Xie Yunsong stood up and helped Bai Zhiyuan up.

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly realized. These days, she was under house arrest and had a lot of thoughts. She always felt that Emperor Renxiao was smart and would not let the position of Crown Prince remain vacant. He was also a prince and knew how cruel the fight for the throne was. How could he not have a back-up plan? Moreover, he was already terminally ill that day and had been bedridden for so long. How could he not know that he didn't have much time left and needed to appoint a Crown Prince as soon as possible?

Bai Zhiyuan thought to himself that the problem that he had been unable to figure out before suddenly became clear at this moment. It turned out that this was a game played by Emperor Renxiao. He just didn't expect that Prince Yan would actually go so far as to raise an army to rebel.

Emperor Renxiao looked at the two of them and said, "Yunsong, you must be curious about why I am fine, right?"

Xie Yunsong: "Your Majesty has his own reasons for doing things, and I dare not make irresponsible comments."

Emperor Renxiao continued, "Prince Yan rebelled today and has now been brought to justice. In your opinion, how do you think he should be dealt with?"

Xie Yunsong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is a royal affair, I dare not criticize it."

Seeing that Xie Yunsong was not interested, Emperor Renxiao turned to Bai Zhiyuan and said, "I heard that Rong'an was put under house arrest by this rebellious son some time ago. Are you okay?"

Bai Zhiyuan said respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing fine. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan may have thought of our old friendship and did not do anything to hurt me."

Emperor Renxiao asked again, "How does Rong'an think we should deal with the Prince of Yan?"

Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "I believe Your Majesty has already made up his mind on how to deal with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."

Emperor Renxiao looked at the embarrassed Prince of Yan kneeling in front of him. After all, they were father and son. Although he felt sorry for them, he still said, "The Prince of Yan has committed treason and raised an army to rebel. He should be executed for this crime."

"Come here! Throw the King of Yan into the Heavenly Prison and execute him in three days!"

Soon, the guards came in and dragged the Prince of Yan away. Since Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan came in, the Prince of Yan seemed to have lost his soul, not making any noise, and actually let the guards take him away.
