Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince Chapter 240 Trick 1

The snow in the yard was quickly cleared by the monks, and Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong soon arrived at Princess Heyue's yard.

The sound of worshipping Buddha came from the Buddhist temple in the distance, and the two of them stopped in front of the courtyard gate.

The courtyard gate was tightly closed. Bai Zhiyuan glanced at Xie Yunsong and walked forward and knocked on the door.

After a moment, the door creaked open.

The person who opened the door was the nanny Bai Zhiyuan had met before.

When the nanny saw Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong, she did not show any surprise, but bowed and said, "Greetings to the county lady, greetings to the young master."

Xie Yunsong said, "Madam Kong, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you feeling well?"

Madam Kong raised her eyes and said, "Thank you for your concern, young master. I am fine."

Bai Zhiyuan then said, "Mammy, we are here to see Princess Heyue. Please tell her the truth."

Madam Kong bowed her head and said respectfully, "The princess has been waiting for you two for a long time. Please follow me."

Bai Zhiyuan subconsciously looked at Xie Yunsong, but seeing that there was no change on Xie Yunsong's face, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Perhaps Princess He Yue got the news that they were coming yesterday, and knew that she and Xie Yunsong would definitely come to see her today."

Just as Bai Zhiyuan was about to raise her foot, Xie Yunsong grabbed her hand. Bai Zhiyuan was stunned, and before she could react, Xie Yunsong pulled her in.

When they reached Princess Heyue's door, Madam Kong knocked gently and said, "Princess, someone is here."

The person inside seemed to pause for a moment, then said, "Let them in!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Kong gently pushed open the door.

Xie Yunsong led Bai Zhiyuan in. The room was still as cold and deserted as the last time Bai Zhiyuan came. Princess Heyue knelt in front of a Buddha statue with her back to them, twisting Buddhist beads in her hands.

Hearing them coming in, Princess He Yue slowly stood up and turned around.

The moment she saw Xie Yunsong, Princess He Yue's eyes instantly became moist. She slowly walked towards Xie Yunsong, raised her hand tremblingly, and wanted to touch Xie Yunsong's face.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan tried to break free from Xie Yunsong's hand, but Xie Yunsong held her tightly. Seeing that Princess He Yue's hand was about to touch Xie Yunsong, Xie Yunsong took two steps back, and Princess He Yue's hand touched nothing in the air.

Princess He Yue was startled at first, then she smiled bitterly, her hands slowly dropped, and she said, "You really blame me."

Xie Yunsong remained silent, but Bai Zhiyuan felt sorry for him. She stepped forward, grabbed Princess He Yue's hand, and said, "Princess, General Xie is not used to being so close to others. Don't blame him."

Princess He Yue smiled bitterly, but her eyes never left Xie Yunsong. She said, "Song'er, I'm sorry. It's mother's fault for all these years."

Xie Yunsong's expression remained indifferent, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Bai Zhiyuan knew that Xie Yunsong lacked parental care and love since childhood, which led to his current cold personality. In fact, he is a very warm person at heart.

Bai Zhiyuan stepped forward, held Xie Yunsong's hand, and said, "We are very happy that the princess is willing to see us."

Princess He Yue forced a smile and said, "I received news yesterday that you would come today, and I have been waiting for you. Since I met Miss Bai last time, I suddenly realized that I have been ashamed of my son for so many years."

Princess He Yue said excitedly: "The Emperor is my brother, I know him. I know he will not grant you a marriage, don't worry, I am here, I will definitely help you."

Bai Zhiyuan and Xie Yunsong looked at each other, and Xie Yunsong was the first to speak: "Thank you."

After hearing these two short words, Princess He Yue burst into tears.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't bear it, so he held the hands of Xie Yunsong and Princess Heyue respectively and put their hands together.

Princess He Yue shuddered, and Xie Yunsong also felt uncomfortable and wanted to pull his hand back, but Princess He Yue quickly held his hand and choked up, "I'm sorry, Song'er!"

Xie Yunsong's expression was finally moved. He was silent for a long time before he spoke softly, "Mother, you are too kind!"

Princess He Yue's eyes were sore and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Bai Zhiyuan also took the opportunity to say, "Princess, Puhua Temple is poor, why don't you come back to the capital with us this time."

Princess He Yue came back to her senses, wiped her tears, and shook her head, saying, "No, I'm used to being here. I feel uncomfortable returning to the capital. I will pray for my son every day, and I hope that the Buddha will bless my son to be safe and healthy!"

Bai Zhiyuan wanted to say something after hearing this, but Xie Yunsong spoke first: "If you like it, mother, you can continue to live here. Ayuan and I will come to visit you often."

Princess He Yue nodded and kept saying, "Good child..."

It was getting late, and Bai Zhiyuan had sneaked out. If the Queen Mother found out she was away, she would definitely make things difficult for her.

She left with an excuse, wanting Xie Yunsong to be alone with his mother for a while, but Xie Yunsong followed her away.

When they left Princess Heyue's courtyard, Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you spend more time with your mother?"

Xie Yunsong lowered his eyes: "I have never felt the feeling of having a mother to protect and love me since I was a child. It is rare for me to have such a calm chat with her now. If we were alone, I don't know what to say."

Bai Zhiyuan understood and said, "We should come to see her more often when we have time. I think the princess will be very happy too."

Xie Yunsong nodded, and the two of them walked towards the main hall together.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the main hall, a eunuch hurried forward and said, "General Yunhui, you made it difficult for me to find you. The Queen Mother fainted while worshiping Buddha just now. She has woken up and is looking for you everywhere. She said she wants to see you."

Xie Yunsong frowned and looked at Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan nodded to him.

Xie Yunsong said coldly: "Let's go!"

He took two steps forward, still worried about Bai Zhiyuan, so he turned to look at her, and Bai Zhiyuan smiled at her.

Xie Yunsong's eyes moved, and then he turned around and followed the eunuch.

Since the Queen Mother was ill, the worship of Buddha was over. Bai Zhiyuan had no choice but to go back to his room to rest.

She had just taken a few steps when someone blocked her way.

She looked up and saw Princess Changle and Shen Zhiyi whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Bai Zhiyuan was wondering in his heart when these two became so close.

Shen Zhiyi was the first to speak: "Miss Bai, the Queen wants to see you."

Bai Zhiyuan immediately became alert and asked, "Since it was the Empress who sent the message, why wasn't her personal maid there? Instead, it was Miss Shen who did it?"

Shen Zhiyi said coldly: "Miss Bai, Princess Changle is the Queen's biological daughter. She came to invite you personally. Are you going to disobey her order?"

When Princess Changle saw that Bai Zhiyuan didn't reply for a long time, her eyes widened with anger and she babbled something inaudible.

Although he couldn't hear it clearly, Bai Zhiyuan knew it was definitely not something good.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Princess to lead the way."

Princess Changle snorted coldly, and when Bai Zhiyuan turned around, Shen Zhiyi's mouth curled up in a strange arc.

When they arrived at the courtyard where the queen lived, Shen Zhiyi took Bai Zhiyuan to a room and said, "Miss Bai, please come in."

Bai Zhiyuan did not move. When he looked at Shen Zhiyi again, he found that Princess Changle had disappeared at some point.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. How could she deserve these two people to go to such lengths to deal with her again and again? Today, she wanted to see how they were going to deal with her.

When Bai Zhiyuan thought about this, she showed no sign on her face and pretended not to notice.

Shen Zhiyi took a step forward, knocked on the door gently, then slowly pushed the door open and walked in first.

Bai Zhiyuan looked around, sneered, and slowly stepped into the house.

As soon as she went in, the next second, the sound of the door being locked was heard from outside.

The next moment, Shen Zhiyi turned around. Her usually gentle and noble face was now full of ferocity and viciousness, with a strange smile at the corner of her mouth.
