Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

After Bai Zhiyuan entered the private room, Wang Qing stood guard at the door.

After Bai Zhiyuan went in, he opened the window and looked down. As the waiter said, he could clearly see everyone entering and leaving the restaurant. Looking out, Yuanyang Tower was in an excellent location, and he could see the prosperity of Shangjing, with carriages coming and going in an endless stream, and merchants gathering and bustling.

Bai Zhiyuan was thinking about how to attract attention and let everyone see Qi Zeyi's mask. Suddenly, she saw a familiar person from the window.

The person who came was Xie Yunsong, followed by a charming woman, Shen Zhiyi, the daughter of Shen Xiu, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

In his previous life, Bai Zhiyuan had seen Shen Zhiyi in the palace. Shen Zhiyi's daughter followed her father's art and perfectly inherited Shen Yuanshi's medical skills. Seeing the two of them coming in together, Bai Zhiyuan remembered that the emperor had granted them a marriage in his previous life, but later, Bai Zhiyuan was placed under house arrest by Qi Zeyi, and there was no news from the outside world, and it was unknown when the two of them got married.

But did they have an intersection so early in their lives? Judging from the situation, they had already privately decided to spend their lives together, so it was only natural for the emperor to grant them marriage.

Bai Zhiyuan collected his thoughts and continued to observe the person who came. Then, there was a commotion downstairs. Bai Zhiyuan looked down and saw that the person who came was actually the current emperor's brother, King Kangding. When King Kangding was young, he was also a great general who traveled all over the world. Later, when the current emperor ascended the throne, he was grateful to King Kangding for his many years of fighting and injuries. King Kangding was getting older and lost a leg on the battlefield. So he gave him a title and a house in Shangjing so that he could spend his remaining years in peace.

After losing a leg, King Kangding's temperament became more and more eccentric. He only loved beautiful women, and his palace was full of concubines. He often appeared in places of entertainment. At first, the emperor was still embarrassed by the royal family's face and reminded King Kangding. One spring hunting, the emperor was assassinated by a northern Di assassin, and it was King Kangding who saved him at the risk of his life. Since then, the emperor indulged King Kangding's actions.

Behind King Kangding followed a woman in red, with loose black hair, soft facial features, and a pair of watery almond eyes like a pool of clear spring water, which was particularly captivating.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart moved, and he thought, where can I find this beauty?

He turned around, walked to the door, and called Wang Qing in. He whispered to Wang Qing: "Just now I saw the emperor's brother, Prince Kangding, the prince with a broken leg, at the window. He was followed by a woman in red. Go and find out where this woman came from. Remember not to reveal your identity."

Wang Qing took the order and turned to leave.

Wang Qing was a smart man. After a while, he got along well with the entourage of the Kangding Palace and soon found out all the information about the woman in red.

This woman is the new top courtesan, Wan Tang, from the largest brothel in Shangjing - Manchunyuan.

"It is said that Miss Wan Tang is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her piece of 'Jinghong Dance' amazed everyone. This girl looks like a lady from a wealthy family in Nanyang. However, her family fell into poverty and she had no choice but to work in a brothel."

Wang Qing looked at Bai Zhiyuan, who seemed to be in deep thought, and asked, "Miss?"

Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses, "Go on."

Wang Qing continued, "It is said that a few days ago, Prince Kangding went to Manchun Courtyard and fell in love with Wan Tang at first sight. Yesterday, he spent a large sum of money to buy Miss Wan Tang's virginity."

Bai Zhiyuan murmured, "So that's how it is." Then he had an idea and came up with a plan.

Bai Zhiyuan turned and walked out of the room, glancing at the room where Qi Zeyi was. Yuefeng and Yueying were still guarding the door, so it was not easy to get close. Qi Zeyi and Jiang Muyun had been alone in the same room for so long, and in his previous life, his family was destroyed by these two accomplices. Today, he would punish them a little.

The restaurant was packed with people, which was a good opportunity for Bai Zhiyuan. Bai Zhiyuan walked forward and unexpectedly ran into Shen Zhiyi, who came out of the private room with red eyes. She almost bumped into Bai Zhiyuan. Such a loss of composure was unlike the dignified and beautiful Doctor Shen on weekdays.

But Bai Zhiyuan didn't have the heart to care about her now. Bai Zhiyuan found his way to the rooms of the courtesan Wantang and Prince Kangding.

Bai Zhiyuan looked at the guards surrounding him and felt troubled for a moment. He couldn't just force his way in.

Suddenly, Bai Zhiyuan had an idea. He walked to the door of King Kangding's private room and said to the guard at the door in a low voice: "I am the servant of General Yunhui. The general heard that King Kangding was here and wanted to visit him. He heard that King Kangding had a distinguished guest here, so it was inconvenient to disturb him. I specially invite King Kangding to the general's private room for a gathering."

After hearing this, the guard did not dare to delay and went in to report immediately.

After hearing the guard's report, Prince Kangding was full of doubts. Although Yun Hui was his nephew, they had always been estranged. Why did he suddenly ask him to get together today?

Although Prince Kangding was puzzled, Yun Hui was now a favorite of the emperor, and the emperor always looked at this nephew with a different eye. Forget it, I decided to go there myself.

Thinking of this, Prince Kangding said to the guards, "Tell Yunhui's servant that I will be there soon."

The guard took the order, turned around and went out, informing Bai Zhiyuan that Prince Kangding would be arriving soon.

Bai Zhiyuan pretended to go back to report, turned around and left, hiding at the stairs.

Sure enough, after a while, Prince Kangding, perhaps having calmed down Wan Tang, came out on crutches, taking half of the guards with him.

Seeing Prince Kangding entering Xie Yunsong's private room, Bai Zhiyuan covered his face, pulled out a hidden dagger, and quickly eliminated the guards at the door and broke into Wantang's private room.

"Ah..." Wantang screamed, and Bai Zhiyuan whispered, "Sorry," then knocked Wantang unconscious, carried her, and ran all the way to the back door of Yuanyang Building, where Wang Qing had already been waiting in a carriage.

Wang Qing followed Qi Zeyi every day and had already figured out the layout of Yuanyang Building. Bai Zhiyuan had just left the private room and had already mastered the structure of Yuanyang Building according to the route given by Wang Qing. That was how he easily avoided the crowd and abducted the top courtesan.

Bai Zhiyuan quickly changed back into women's clothes in the carriage, and told Wang Qing to send Wan Tang back to Manchun Courtyard, and then went back to the mansion. He then jumped off the carriage and returned to Yuanyang Tower.
