Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince Chapter 244 Family Returns 1

Since returning from Puhua Temple, Bai Zhiyuan had a rare period of peace and quiet. As the New Year was approaching, she would decorate the house for the New Year every day, and occasionally take Ling Xiao to the street to buy some things.

My father wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he will be able to return home in just half a month.

Bai Zhiyuan renovated the mansion before they came back.

Princess Changle is dead, but she had converted to Buddhism earlier. Now that she is dead, she cannot be buried as a princess, let alone be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Even though the emperor is sad, he can only bury her hastily.

The death of Princess Changle was a great blow to the Queen. Since that day, the Queen has been a little crazy. The mother of a country is like this, so the Emperor simply banned her from traveling completely on the pretext of recuperating from illness.

After the empress dowager returned to the palace, she also fell seriously ill. After all, she was old, and even if she took good care of herself, she could not withstand such hardship.

As the ministers watched the royal family members fall one by one, they submitted memorials requesting the appointment of a crown prince every day. The emperor's health was deteriorating, and he was still under great pressure from the ministers. He collapsed completely due to anger and anxiety.

The recent state affairs were all handed over to the Prince of Yan to handle, so some discerning people noticed that although the Emperor was reluctant to appoint a crown prince, the position of crown prince would probably belong to the Prince of Yan.

Although Shen Zhiyi was saved by his father Shen Xiu, his whole body was burned and he could no longer appear in public. After this incident, Shen Xiu resigned from his post to Emperor Renxiao, left Shangjing with his wife and daughter, and disappeared completely in Shangjing.

When Bai Zhiyuan found out, he waited on the way out of Beijing to see Shen Zhiyi off for the last time.

Shen Zhiyi's original intention was not bad, but she was too obsessed with Xie Yunsong. I hope that after this incident, she can forget the past and look forward to the future.

The Shen Mansion's carriage approached slowly. When Shen Xiu saw Bai Zhiyuan, he was stunned for a moment.

Bai Zhiyuan stepped forward and said, "Envoy Shen, I am here to see Miss Shen off. I have a few words to say to her."

Shen Xiu hesitated for a moment, looked at Mrs. Shen, and finally nodded.

Bai Zhiyuan got on the carriage, and Shen Zhiyi could only lie down. Her whole body was wrapped in white cloth, leaving only a pair of empty eyes.

Hearing someone coming up, she turned her head with difficulty. When she saw it was Bai Zhiyuan, she looked a little excited and moved her mouth but no sound came out.

Bai Zhiyuan said, "Miss Shen, don't get excited. I'm not here to take your life or to laugh at you. I have a few words to say to you, and I'll let you go after I'm done."

Shen Zhiyi stared at Bai Zhiyuan without blinking.

Bai Zhiyuan spoke again, "When I sneaked into the Northern Border military camp, there were no women in the camp. Miss Shen took care of me, and I have always remembered this friendship. Even though Miss Shen did many wrong things later, I never thought of taking your life. That day, Miss Shen wanted to trap me in a sea of ​​fire, but in the end, she only reaped what she sowed. The grudge between you and me is over. From now on, Miss Shen, stay away from Shangjing and live a good life."

There was a more complicated look in Shen Zhiyi's empty eyes, and she silently shed two lines of tears.

Bai Zhiyuan finally said: "Xie Yunsong has never belonged to anyone. Miss Shen's obsession ultimately harmed you. But fortunately, Miss Shen still has a life, and still has parents who love and care about you. If Miss Shen had thought more about your parents, she wouldn't have made so many mistakes."

Then she turned around and was about to get off the car. Before leaving, she took one last look at the unrecognizable Shen Zhiyi and said, "Ms. Shen, take care of yourself! Since you are leaving, live a good life!"

After saying this, she jumped off the carriage without any pause.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen Xiu were standing under the carriage. When they saw her get off, they were silent for a moment.

Bai Zhiyuan nodded to them and then got on his carriage.

I only heard Shen Xiu shouting outside: "County Lady, wait a moment!"

Bai Zhiyuan lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Shen Xiu bowed deeply to her and said, "County Lady, it is the fault of the father if the son is not well educated. I did not teach Zhiyi well. I apologize to you on her behalf for what she did to you. Although it is impossible to make up for it, I also thank you for seeing me off today. County Lady, please rest assured that after we leave this time, we will never set foot in Shangjing again in this life. The roads are slippery in the snow, so please be careful on the way back!"

After saying this, Shen Xiu turned around, got on the carriage, and drove away quickly.

After a long while, Bai Zhiyuan said to Xia Qing who was driving, "Let's go! Go back home."

Ling Xiao was puzzled and asked: "Miss, why did you come to see them off?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "When I first met Shen Zhiyi, she was also a gentle and lovely woman, and she also took good care of me in the Northern Territory. I am sending you off today, firstly because of our past friendship, and secondly to remind Shen Xiu and Shen Zhiyi not to return to Shangjing, otherwise she will not let Shen Zhiyi's life go again."

"Shen Xiu is a smart man. I don't think they will come back in this lifetime."

Ling Xiao nodded, not quite understanding.

……

At this moment in the palace, Xie Yunsong had been refused to see the emperor for several days in a row. The emperor refused to see anyone on the grounds of being seriously ill, and now, except for the newly appointed director of the Imperial Hospital, Cheng Beixiao, it was difficult for anyone to see the emperor.

Xie Yunsong waited for a while in the wind and snow, but in the end he did not see the emperor, so he turned around and left.

He strode to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, reported, and walked in.

The Queen Mother lay in bed, and she seemed to have aged several years in just a few days.

When he saw Xie Yunsong coming, his eyes flashed, and finally he sighed softly.

Xie Yunsong sat down beside the bed, his face as cold as ever. He said coldly: "The Queen Mother now knows what it means to reap what you sow, right? No matter how much you and the Emperor try to stop me, I will marry her. As long as I am here, the Queen Mother will never dare to touch her again."

The Queen Mother moved her lips and spoke with difficulty: "Is Bai Zhiyuan really so good? She makes you risk your life for her."

Xie Yunsong replied: "She is a ray of light in my dark life. Someone as high and mighty as the Queen Mother certainly cannot understand. After all, the Queen Mother was able to kill her own daughter's sweetheart and then marry her daughter to a man she did not love in order to win over the court officials. In the eyes of the Queen Mother, feelings are the most worthless thing. But I am different from the Queen Mother. In my opinion, feelings are my most precious thing."

The Queen Mother's eyes trembled slightly, and boundless sorrow welled up in them. She said with difficulty: "Forget it, Song'er. I am old and can't care about many things. If you insist on doing this, then I can only wish you to get what you want."

Xie Yunsong laughed sarcastically and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. I will get what I want."

After saying this, he turned around and walked away without even looking at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother, lying on the hospital bed, closed her eyes and sighed heavily.

……

A few days later, a heavy snow quietly came to Shangjing.

Bai Zhiyuan was sitting in the heated room reading a book when Wang Qing came hurriedly with an unconcealable smile on his face.

Bai Zhiyuan's heart moved, and without waiting for Wang Qing to report, he stood up and asked, "But is father back?"

Wang Qing's smile widened as he said, "Yes, Miss, it's the Master, the Madam, and the Young Master who are back."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with joy, and he asked, "Where are you now?"

Wang Qing replied: "We are already outside the city."

Bai Zhiyuan said with joy, "Okay, okay. Lingxiao! Quick! Change my clothes for me. I will personally go and take my father and brother home!"

Ling Xiao couldn't close his mouth and said, "Yes! Miss!"

After Bai Zhiyuan was dressed, she went out, only to find that Xie Yunsong had been waiting outside the mansion.

Because it was snowing, his inky black flag and head were covered with a thick layer of snow.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and walked forward, gently brushed off the thick snow on his body, and said, "Why are you here? It's snowing so heavily, why don't you go in?"

Xie Yunsong gathered her into his big tent, leaving only his head exposed, and said, "I know your father and brother are back, and you will definitely go to pick them up, so I wanted to go with you, and I am waiting for you here."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay!"

Xie Yunsong embraced her in his arms and said, "Let's go!"

The two of them got on the carriage together and moved forward, blocking out the heavy wind and snow.
