Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Inside the Prince Rui's Mansion, sunlight, like golden threads, filters through the lush foliage, dappling every inch of the ground and reflecting the mansion's luxury and elegance.

Chu Mohan gently took Su Lianxue's arm. His deep eyes reflected the dreamlike scenery of the mansion, yet a barely perceptible hint of unfamiliarity flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Before me, a delicate little bridge spans the babbling stream, and fish frolic in the water beneath it, creating ripples. Flowers bloom along the bank, a riot of colors—red like fire, pink like the sunset, and white like snow. A gentle breeze stirs the blossoms, and their fragrance fills the air.

All of this was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly, like a fairyland fallen to earth.

Chu Mohan was slightly lost in thought, his mind wandering like a runaway horse. He silently thought that without Su Lianxue, his life might have been like the endless sandstorms of Mofang City, drifting ceaselessly across that desolate and vast land.

But now, he has Su Lianxue. She is like a ray of light shining into his dark world, making his life shine with a different kind of color.

She was so beautiful, like a pearl forgotten by the world, and should not be confined to the harsh environment of Mofang City.

She was born to belong to this bustling world, full of endless beautiful scenery and delicious food, and to live happily here.

Chu Mohan lowered his head, his gaze as gentle as the warm spring sun. He looked at Su Lianxue with concern and love in his eyes and asked softly, "My queen, do you think this palace is still to your liking?"

If you are even slightly dissatisfied, I will traverse every inch of this capital city to find a place that suits your taste better.

This palace is fine, but if you don't like it, then in my eyes it's just an empty shell, utterly meaningless.

His voice was deep and mellow, every word filled with deep affection, as if he would give her everything without hesitation if Su Lianxue simply nodded.

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue felt as if an invisible hand had gently touched her heart, causing ripples to spread across her emotions.

She raised her clear, captivating eyes, as blue as autumn water, and looked at the handsome prince before her, who seemed like a god descended to earth.

Bathed in sunlight, Chu Mohan's face was sharply defined, his deep eyes like the brightest stars in the night sky, and beneath his high nose, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth held a gentle smile.

Su Lianxue looked at him, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes. She parted her lips slightly, her voice as clear and melodious as a mountain stream, yet carrying a trace of weariness that she could not hide: "Your Highness, this place is already very good, really. Every scene here is like a painting, with small bridges, flowing water, and blooming flowers."

Moreover, as long as Your Highness is by my side, anywhere is the best place for me. It's just... I'm a little tired right now.

Her voice grew softer and softer, and her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, as if she were about to fall asleep at any moment.

The long journey had left her exhausted. Although Chu Mohan had taken great care of her along the way, the days in the carriage were still very difficult to endure.

At this moment, all she wanted was to get a good night's sleep. She simply didn't have the energy to think about anything else, nor did she want to say anything more.

Chu Mohan immediately saw through the deep drowsiness in her eyes. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a gentle and doting smile.

He gently stretched out his arm, his movements soft yet carrying an irresistible force, and pulled Su Lianxue's slender, supple waist into his embrace.

Su Lianxue's heart pounded like a drum, and her cheeks instantly flushed a bright red.

She instinctively twisted her body, trying to break free from Chu Mohan's embrace, her eyes filled with shyness and panic: "Your Highness, this is not right." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, trembling slightly, and her gaze swept erratically over the unfamiliar servants around her.

Although the servants all kept their heads down, she still felt incredibly embarrassed, as if her most private feelings had been laid bare before everyone.

Chu Mohan seemed not to hear Su Lianxue's words. He hugged Su Lianxue even tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.

He slightly raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the servants present like lightning, his eyes carrying an incomparably authoritative warning. His gaze was like a biting cold wind, causing the servants to shiver involuntarily.

He wanted these people, bestowed upon him by the palace, to clearly understand that Su Lianxue was his princess, the treasure he cherished most in his heart, and the most important person in his life.

If anyone dares to show her the slightest disrespect or harbor any ill intentions, he will not let them off easily.

The coldness in his gaze made the kneeling servant feel even more afraid, and he couldn't help but lower his head even further.

In their minds, this Prince Rui was a renowned and ruthless general on the battlefield. He charged into battle, killed countless enemies, and wherever he went, the enemy was terrified.

He exuded a chilling aura of authority, like an unapproachable iceberg, making people afraid to get close.

But now, they see the prince treating the princess with such tenderness and affection. In the capital city, where etiquette is strict and hierarchy is clear, such public behavior is still very rare.

They secretly speculated that perhaps this was because the prince had been stationed in Mofang City for many years.

Mofang City is located in a remote area, far from the formalities of the capital. The prince was used to being free and unrestrained there.

Even so, the prince's bold behavior still seemed somewhat inappropriate to them. However, none of them dared to show it, and they could only lower their heads tremblingly, not daring to breathe.

They were just servants; how could they dare to comment on their master's behavior?

When Xiaomei and the others, who were guarding the courtyard, saw their master appear, they quickly and respectfully stepped forward to bow.

Their gazes fell on the princess in Prince Rui's arms. The princess looked exhausted, her eyes slightly closed, clearly extremely tired.

The journey was arduous, with a long and arduous trek. Upon entering the city, before even catching their breath, they rushed to the palace to see the emperor. In the palace, they had to face nobles with their own agendas and discerning eyes, and every word and action had to be carefully considered. Just thinking about the mental and physical strain involved was exhausting.

Seeing the princess in such a state, everyone felt a deep pang of heartache. They knew that no matter how tired the princess was, she needed to cleanse herself before she could get a proper rest.

So they hurriedly escorted the princess into the inner room and served her with great care and attention. They prepared water, clean clothes, and adjusted the water temperature; every step was done meticulously, without the slightest negligence.
