Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

At the gate outside the prison, there was a man standing with his back to her, his posture upright. He was looking sideways at the snow left over from yesterday, revealing his beautiful profile.

Bai Zhiyuan stood there for a moment, and suddenly laughed softly. God gave her a chance to live again and let her meet Xie Yunsong. Perhaps it was to compensate for her tragic life in her previous life, but she was very fortunate. She was very happy in this life because of Xie Yunsong.

Bai Zhiyuan walked over and called softly, "Xie Yunsong!"

Xie Yunsong turned around and took her hand. Her hand was slightly cold because of being in the cold cell. Xie Yunsong frowned and asked, "Are you done?"

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and asked, "Don't you want to meet him? Ask him why he has been targeting you all these years?"

Xie Yunsong shook his head and said, "That's his business. It doesn't make any sense to me to know why. He is in this state now because of his own fault. I don't care about him and I don't want to see him."

Bai Zhiyuan's lips curled up slightly. This was Xie Yunsong, the man she liked. He never had any dark thoughts in his heart. He was always upright, whether he was treating his enemies or her.

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly felt happy, and the suppressed emotions in prison just now disappeared instantly.

Tomorrow is the day of execution. The grudge between her and Qi Zeyi has been settled, and they will never see each other again in this life.

Xie Yunsong held her hand, and the two of them walked slowly along the palace road, chatting casually.

Xie Yunsong: "Tianxun just reported that he found your cousin."

Bai Zhiyuan paused and asked, "How is she?"

Xie Yunsong replied: "We found her in the military camp. Jiang Muyun must have sent her to the military camp. When we found her, her eyes were completely destroyed and she was crazy and looked like a nobody."

Even though Qi Shuyue treated her like that, Bai Zhiyuan remained silent for a moment after hearing about her fate. Finding her in the military camp, it goes without saying what she had been through during this period.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed softly and said, "She was deceived by King Yan and ended up like this."

Xie Yunsong asked, "Ayuan, are you feeling sorry for her? If she hadn't intended to hurt you, it wouldn't have happened."

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and said, "It's not that I feel sorry for her, but now she has been punished, and I am even with her. I just feel sorry for my grandfather, he must be very sad when he heard the news."

"Xie Yunsong, send someone to send Qi Shuyue back to Wudu. I will tell my grandfather that no one can escape karma and reincarnation. Whether it's Qi Shuyue, Jiang Muyun, or even Qi Zeyi, they all got their retribution."

Xie Yunsong nodded in agreement.

The couple stopped talking about this. Xie Yunsong held Bai Zhiyuan's hand and walked all the way to the prince's palace.

The former Prince of Jin is now the Crown Prince. Emperor Renxiao's health won't last much longer, so it won't be long before he ascends the throne.

Xie Yunsong took Bai Zhiyuan to the prince's bedroom. Now that the prince has moved into the East Palace, things are no longer the same as before.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

When the prince saw them, he smiled and helped them up, saying, "No need for formalities between us."

Xie Yunsong helped Bai Zhiyuan stand up and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's status is different now, so you still have to follow the proper etiquette."

The prince was stunned for a moment, then continued, "What happened last night was really dangerous. I had already made up my mind to perish together with the King of Yan, but I didn't expect that my father had already woken up. The incident happened suddenly, and I was unable to inform you in time. I am sorry to have caused you to worry."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm glad that His Royal Highness is alright. I just didn't expect that everything was planned by the Emperor. Fortunately, everything has a good ending. I haven't congratulated His Royal Highness on getting what he wished for yet."

The prince smiled and said, "We were very worried when the county lady was abducted by the King of Yan. We are lucky to have her return safely now. I couldn't bear it when the county lady rushed to the palace without a good rest after she came back. Now everything is settled, the county lady and Yun Song should rest well in the mansion for the next few days. I will take care of the things outside."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration."

A trace of sadness flashed across the prince's eyes, but he quickly said seriously, "Yun Song and I have a friendship since we grew up together, so there is no need for you to be so polite."

He seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "I heard that the county lady went to visit King Yan today..."

"That's right!" Bai Zhiyuan answered frankly, "We are from the same sect, so I will send him off for the last time."

The prince paused, as if thinking about her words, and soon smiled and said, "The county lady has a kind heart."

Xie Yunsong seemed to be dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's interrogation of Bai Zhiyuan, and frowned and said: "Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has got what he wanted, and has also granted me and Ayuan's leave. In this case, Ayuan and I will take our leave now."

Cheng Beixiao stepped forward and said, "Yunsong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not finished speaking yet, please be patient."

Xie Yunsong stopped talking, and Bai Zhiyuan asked, "Does Your Highness the Crown Prince have any other instructions?"

The prince said, "According to Cheng Yuanheng, although my father has woken up now, he won't last long. When I ascend the throne, I want you, Yunsong, to remain as the general of Yunhui, and the military power of the northern border will still be handed over to you. What do you think, Yunsong?"

Xie Yunsong first glanced at Bai Zhiyuan, then thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. But now that the northern border has been recovered, there will be no war in the next few years. Your Highness has also got what he wanted. I think after Your Highness ascends the throne, I will take Ayuan away from Shangjing, and we will travel around the world and stay away from disputes."

The prince and Cheng Beixiao were both surprised, but Bai Zhiyuan had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end, as if she had expected Xie Yunsong to say this.

The prince quickly turned serious and said, "Yun Song, if you want to travel with the county lady, go ahead. I will grant you leave. But..."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Xie Yunsong said, "I have made up my mind. I don't want to stay in Shangjing anymore. As for garrisoning in the northern border, Your Highness, do you remember my former deputy general Lu Zhiling? He has fought with me for many years and knows the northern border very well. It would be best if he could go."

Seeing Xie Yunsong's determination, the prince turned to Bai Zhiyuan and asked, "Does the county lady think so too?"

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Everyone says that a husband sings and his wife follows. Since Yun Song has made such a decision, I will naturally follow him without regrets. But please rest assured, Your Highness, if Your Highness needs us for something, we will always come back. Besides, my father, mother, and brother are still in the capital, we will not really leave, and we will definitely come back to visit you often."

Since the two of them had said so, the prince had no choice but to give up. Everyone chatted for a few more words and then went their separate ways.

Early the next morning, Bai Zhiyuan just woke up from his sleep.

She propped her chin with one hand and carefully looked at the man lying on his side. Xie Yunsong's eyelashes were long and straight, casting a silhouette on his eyelids. His nose was tall and beautiful, his lips were rosy, and he was very quiet while sleeping.

While he was looking around, his hand was suddenly pulled by someone, and he fell into a warm embrace. Xie Yunsong didn't open his eyes, but his voice was very clear, and he said: "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Bai Zhiyuan answered casually, "It's late." Then he realized what was happening and asked, "Are you awake?"

Xie Yunsong curled the corners of his lips, opened his eyes and looked at her and said, "Yeah."

Bai Zhiyuan felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Xie Yunsong noticed her blushing face and hugged her tighter, and his low laugh could be heard above her head.

The two of them here were being affectionate with each other, and at the same time, in the Sky Prison in the capital.

The jailer fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier. Even if the fire was lit, the cold and dampness accumulated in the prison over the years was not easy to dispel. Especially in this cold winter, it was very cold.

Now those imprisoned in the prison are the former aides of Prince Yan and his family members. He will be beheaded in public at noon today.

The jailer spat and said, "It's so unlucky that I have to guard these dying people in such a cold day."

Another jailer looked around and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

The jailer said indifferently, "What are you afraid of? After noon today, these people will all be wandering ghosts. It doesn't matter if they were once high and mighty princes or servants. The final result will be the same."

The jailer stopped listening to his nonsense, picked up the torch and patrolled towards the cell.
