Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

In the capital, the Prince of Yan’s Mansion is full of flowers in summer and the scenery is beautiful.

Prince Qi Zeyi of Yan had just sent off a group of his staff and was drinking tea in his study.

Jiang Muyun came slowly with her maid.

Qi Zeyi didn't even raise his head when he heard the voice.

Jiang Muyun stepped forward and said softly, "My Lord, I see that you have been tired recently, so I made some bird's nest porridge and yam cake for you. Please eat some, but don't overwork yourself."

Qi Zeyi then raised his eyes and said calmly: "Let the servants do these things in the future."

Jiang Muyun smiled and said, "I am willing to do these for your Highness." With a wave of her hand, the maid Pei'er placed the food on the small table in the study.

Qi Ze saw this and sat down to eat something.

Jiang Muyun served Qi Zeyi some pastries, and after Qi Zeyi put down his chopsticks, he ordered the servants to clear the dishes.

Then he sat down next to Qi Zeyi and asked softly, "Your Majesty, there is still no news about Bai Zhiyuan?"

Bai Zhiyuan has not been seen since Bai Tingxuan and Xie Yunsong left that day. Qi Zeyi sent many people to look for him, but there has been no news for two months.

Qi Zeyi has been very angry about this matter recently and has not been to Jiang Muyun's yard for a long time.

Jiang Muyun was extremely anxious. Now she was alone and had no support from her mother's family. She could only win over Qi Zeyi's heart and soul if she gave birth to his child as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Qi Zeyi had a wife, how could she stand firm?

But no matter what she did, Qi Zeyi always avoided her. Jiang Muyun knew that Qi Zeyi was upset recently because of Bai Zhiyuan's disappearance.

Bai Zhiyuan, it's her again, she can always easily move the heart of King Yan. Jiang Muyun thought bitterly.

Qi Zeyi looked up at her for a moment before saying, "No."

Jiang Muyun heaved a sigh of relief. She wished Bai Zhiyuan would never show up again, or even die outside. But in front of Qi Zeyi, she still pretended to be considerate.

She suppressed the joy on her face and tried to make her voice sound calm as she asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that she went to the southern border with Bai Tingxuan that day?"

Qi Zeyi frowned and said, "I have thought about what you said, but I sent people to infiltrate the team heading to the southern border, and did not find any trace of Bai Zhiyuan. I think she should not have gone to the southern border. With Bai Tingxuan's personality, he has always loved Bai Zhiyuan, and he certainly doesn't want Bai Zhiyuan to take risks, nor will he take her to the southern border to suffer."

Jiang Muyun asked in confusion, "Where did she go? No one has seen her since that day. Did she go to Mount Zhongnan? To find her master?"

Qi Zeyi glanced at him and thought to himself, "Idiot."

Jiang Muyun's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Qi Zeyi's eyes, he lowered his head and dared not say anything.

Qi Zeyi then said in a deep voice: "I have already sent people to look for him in Zhongnan Mountain, but there is still no trace of him."

Jiang Muyun was secretly happy, but she didn't dare to show it. Her expression was a little distorted for a moment. She said, "How could such a good person disappear? Even you, Your Majesty, sent so many people but got nothing. Could something have happened to her?"

She thought to herself: I wish something really happened.

Qi Zeyi said impatiently, "Impossible. With Bai Zhiyuan's skills, I don't think anything will happen to her. But I have no idea where she went. It's been two whole months, and there's no news at all."

After hearing this, Jiang Muyun no longer dared to speak.

After a while, she said softly, "My Lord, you have worked hard these days. Why don't you come to my courtyard tonight? I will cook a few dishes for you myself. I remember that when we were in Zhongnan Mountain, you liked the dishes I cooked the most..."

Qi Zeyi was immersed in his own thoughts and seemed not to hear anything.

Seeing this, Jiang Muyun's face turned pale. She bit her lower lip, but she had to suppress her anger. She knew that Qi Zeyi was thinking about that bitch Bai Zhiyuan at the moment. She took a deep breath and asked again: "Prince?"

Qi Zeyi came back to his senses, glanced at her, and asked casually: "What else?"

Jiang Muyun tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and said, "I just asked you, Your Majesty, whether you would like to come to my courtyard tonight? I have prepared some snacks for you..."

Qi Zeyi heard this, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his eyes, but soon disappeared. After a moment, he sighed and said, "I'll come over in the evening."

Jiang Muyun was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "I'll wait for you tonight. I'll take my leave first and get ready."

Qi Zeyi waved his hand, and Jiang Muyun pushed the door open with her maid.

Qi Zeyi looked at Jiang Muyun's back as she walked away and fell into deep thought. When he was studying in Zhongnan Mountain, he thought Jiang Muyun was gentle and considerate, and Bai Zhiyuan had always treated him with respect. Although they were senior and junior brothers and sisters and had an engagement, she was not close to him.

Therefore, he thought for a moment that Jiang Muyun was the person he liked, and the lady from a noble family who should be his principal wife, rather than Bai Zhiyuan, the woman who only knew how to wield swords and guns.

However, ever since Bai Zhiyuan broke off the engagement with him, the few times he saw her, her eyes were filled with suppressed hatred and even a hint of murderous intent, which frightened him and made him addicted. She was always cold and aloof, but she had also affectionately called him "Senior Brother" when they were in Zhongnan Mountain. The more she hated him and the less she cared about him, the more he couldn't stop wanting her.

He knew that her father Bai Tingxuan was leaving soon, and the person he hated the most, Xie Yunsong, was also leaving Shangjing. He was delighted, because now only he and she were left in Shangjing. But since they left, he could no longer find any trace of her.

In the past two months, he has sent out countless people, but they have never brought back any useful information.

He wanted to see her and ask her in person, "Are you still willing to be his princess?" It didn't matter if she didn't like Jiang Muyun. At worst, he could kick her out of the house, or use any other method. As long as she nodded, he could ask his father and mother to grant them a marriage.

But where did she go?

Qi Zeyi sat alone by the window, deep in thought. The more he thought, the more upset he became.

He walked to the table, picked up a pen, and began to draw a portrait of Bai Zhiyuan, as if only in this way could he keep her deeply in his heart.

After a while, he stopped writing and looked at the portrait of Bai Zhiyuan that he had just painted. He gently stroked her face and murmured, "No matter where you are, I will find you, Ayuan, don't even think about escaping from my palm."

At this moment, Qi Zeyi's subordinate Bai Yu knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Enter!"

Bai Yu pushed the door open and walked in, bowing.

Qi Zeyi hurriedly asked, "Is there any news about Bai Zhiyuan?"

Bai Yu replied: "Your Highness, that's right. I was just about to report it."

Qi Zeyi was delighted and asked hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, where is she?"

Bai Yu said: "The Princess of Rong'an is in Youzhou now."

Qi Zeyi stood up suddenly, stared at Bai Yu and asked, "Where do you think she is?"

Bai Yu lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, you heard it right. The county princess is in Youzhou. She followed General Yunhui to the northern border and passed through Youzhou."

Qi Zeyi took two steps back, clenched his fists, and looked incredulous.

It turns out that you went with Xie Yunsong. He thought that Bai Zhiyuan went to the southern border, and also thought that she went to Zhongnan Mountain. He even thought of many possibilities, but the only one he didn't expect was the northern border.

What good was Xie Yunsong, that she broke off the engagement for him, and went to the northern border despite the dangers of traveling by boat. The northern border was bitterly cold, but she followed Xie Yunsong regardless.

Qi Zeyi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the veins at his temples were throbbing, as if he was going to destroy the world in the next moment. After a long while, his expression changed several times, and his entire face was filled with an indecipherable complexion.

Bai Yu was at a loss. Seeing King Yan's tense expression, he did not dare to speak for a moment. The atmosphere in the room was silent for a moment. Only Qi Zeyi's face was gloomy and his anger was suppressed.
