Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

On a winter morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the bright sunlight swayed on the snow, making people's eyes hurt.

Bai Zhiyuan was drinking tea in the mansion while talking to Ling Xiao, "I heard that my brother and Miss Su have been progressing very quickly recently. I think good things will soon happen in our Bai Mansion."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, the young master finally has a woman he likes, and I am happy for him."

Bai Zhiyuan said: "That's right, Miss Su's health has gradually improved under Cheng Beixiao's care, and he and my brother are really a good match."

Ling Xiao smiled and agreed: "Yes."

As the two were talking, Xie Yunsong came striding over in the snow.

The room was warm. Bai Zhiyuan saw him, stood up and said, "Why are you back so early? Today is not the day for execution..."

Xie Yunsong looked at her and said word by word: "Prince Yan committed suicide in prison last night..."

Bai Zhiyuan was surprised for a moment and said, "Suicide? How could it be? This is not like Qi Zeyi's character!"

Xie Yunsong held her hand and asked, "Did Ayuan say anything to him yesterday?"

Bai Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and said, "I didn't say anything special."

Xie Yunsong hesitated for a moment and said, "Prince Yan left a blood letter for you before he died."

Bai Zhiyuan looked up suddenly and asked in surprise: "What?"

Xie Yunsong said: "It is written in the blood letter that he will see you again in the next life!"

Bai Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat and he said in disbelief, "Impossible!"

Xie Yunsong took out the blood letter, Bai Zhiyuan took it with trembling hands, opened it, took a look, and then closed it. At a glance, she knew that this was really Qi Zeyi's handwriting, but she was shocked. When she saw him yesterday, he had no regrets, but overnight, he was filled with remorse and committed suicide. What was the meaning of this blood letter?

Could it be that he was also reborn like himself?

The answer was about to come out in her mind, and Bai Zhiyuan's heart was beating wildly. The scenes of her previous life flashed before her eyes, and her current life overlapped with her previous life. She suddenly thought that perhaps Qi Zeyi remembered everything in his previous life before he died, so he left this blood letter.

After a long time, Bai Zhiyuan calmed down. She took the teacup handed to her by Xie Yunsong, drank the tea in one gulp, and then said, "Xie Yunsong, do you remember the dream I once told you about?"

Xie Yunsong: "Of course I remember!"

Bai Zhiyuan said, "I think that dream was my past life. That day in prison, I told Qi Zeyi that everything in our past and present lives was written off and we would never see each other again. But why did he suddenly commit suicide? I think he must have known what happened in his past life. Maybe when he was about to die, he saw our past and knew how he had betrayed and failed me. Maybe after learning about the past, he felt regretful and his ending in this life could not be changed, so he might as well end his life and wait for a chance to start over."

"But he was wrong. There are not so many chances to start over in life. I was able to come back because I had a strong hatred and determination to take revenge. And the blood letter he wrote was sorry for me. He should apologize to me. But this apology is too late. The hurt has already existed, and I will not accept it. As for what he said about seeing you in the next life, I told him yesterday that we would never see each other again. Now that he is dead, the grudge between us has disappeared. I will no longer indulge in the past, and I don't want to mention this person anymore. I want to live a good life with you."

Xie Yunsong held her hand, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Ayuan, it's all over."

Bai Zhiyuan buried her head in Xie Yunsong's arms, smelling the pleasant scent that belonged to him. The blood in her body gradually warmed up. Soon, she stood up, placed the "blood letter" on the candlelight, and watched it burn into ashes.

Bai Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Did Qi Zeyi's death alarm the Crown Prince and the Emperor?"

Xie Yunsong nodded and said, "That's right, but right now the Crown Prince is in charge of everything in and out of the court. He has suppressed the matter, and the Emperor only knows that Prince Yan committed suicide out of fear of punishment. He didn't say anything, only asked that Prince Yan be buried properly."

Bai Zhiyuan understood and said, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If this matter were to be spread out, it would inevitably cause trouble."

Xie Yunsong echoed, "That's right. The emperor has been unconscious for longer and longer periods of time these days. I asked the imperial physician about the process and he is afraid it has only happened in the past few days. If something happens at this time, it will inevitably affect the crown prince's accession to the throne. Fortunately, the crown prince has already deployed people throughout the prison to prevent any leakage of information."

Bai Zhiyuan asked again: "Did the prince say anything?"

Xie Yunsong shook his head and said, "No, maybe he knew that King Yan always thought about you, so he didn't ask too much."

Bai Zhiyuan was relieved and said, "That's good."

Xie Yunsong drank the cold tea in the cup and poured another cup of hot tea for Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan took a sip and asked, "Has mother entered the palace?"

Xie Yunsong nodded slightly and said, "They passed away early in the morning. The emperor is seriously ill and the queen mother is also dying. After all, mother is their relative, so it is her duty to see them off for the last time."

There were still many things to deal with in the palace, so Xie Yunsong stayed with Bai Zhiyuan for a while and then left.

Bai Zhiyuan sat alone at the table, coldly looking at the "blood letter" that had burned to ashes, and pressed her forehead. Qi Zeyi's belated regret was worthless to her. All the injuries, grievances, and sufferings she had suffered in her previous life were caused by him. In this life, she had clashed with him several times. How could the hatred of the two lives be relieved with just a sorry? See you in the next life, he was too ridiculous. She had already said that they would never see each other again. He had also caused this end in this life. He had nothing to do with her from now on, so how could they meet again in the next life?

Bai Zhiyuan curled her lips, feeling very happy that her great revenge from past and present lives had been avenged.

She took one last glance at the ashes on the table and called out, "Ling Xiao, clean up the things on the table!"

Ling Xiao: “Yes!”

Bai Zhiyuan didn't even look back, and strode out of the room. From now on, she no longer had to suffer the nightmare of her past life. The past was over, and she was going to look forward!

Half a month later, news came from the palace that the empress dowager, who was old and had been ill for a long time, had passed away last night.

Xie Yunsong had been very busy for several days, taking care of the empress dowager's funeral in the palace, and had not returned home for several days.

When Bai Zhiyuan heard the news, she didn't feel too emotional. In the past, the Queen Mother often summoned her to the palace and made things difficult for her. But she was able to successfully break off the engagement with Qi Zeyi in this life, all thanks to the Queen Mother. But she was just an old woman, and now that she was gone, the past had also disappeared with smoke.

The palace had just finished a funeral, and soon, near the end of the year, Emperor Renxiao, who had fallen into a coma again, also passed away. The palace held two funerals in succession, and the entire palace was shrouded in a white and gloomy atmosphere. The two masters of the palace, the empress dowager and the emperor, passed away one after another, and for a time, people could not help but sigh that the Dali period was really going to change.

A new emperor appoints his own ministers. After the two funerals were over, the New Year finally arrived.

But this year's New Year was a bit bleak. The palace had just lost its master, so all activities this year were kept simple and all festive entertainment activities were banned. In this way, it was a not-so-festive New Year.
