Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 142: A Matter of Life and Death_1

Since it’s like this, let Bai Jinxiu lead the people to greatly praise the Emperor for not being influenced by personal feelings and for being just and impartial! Even when dealing with his legitimate son, King Xin, he showed no mercy, proving himself to be the most sage and enlightened ruler in the entire world!

Let the Bai family members lead the people in shouting that they believe the Emperor will fairly handle King Liang’s attempts to slander the Bai family!

The people’s high praises would reach the Emperor’s ears. An Emperor who craved a good reputation did not particularly favor the submissive Prince Liang. Wouldn’t he deal with King Liang for the sake of a good name?!

Bai Qingyan wanted the people to place a high hat of virtue on the Emperor’s head!

Forcing was not only about the powerful momentum seen when knocking on the Wude Gate last time, using hard tactics. The virtuous hat often made people more frightened yet unable to avoid it.

The Emperor, sitting in the supreme position, feared the people’s mouths and the historian’s pen more than anyone.

...

She nodded and solemnly bowed. “Then it will be arduous for Mother and the aunts!”

She watched as her mother and the aunts and sisters, accompanied by the people of Dadu, walked towards the direction of Wude Gate. Only then did she board the carriage with the Eldest Princess.

The grandmother and granddaughter sat in the carriage.

The Eldest Princess, who looked as if she had aged ten years overnight with her gray hair, closed her eyes. Her thin lips were tightly pressed together as she continuously fingered the agarwood carved prayer beads.

Bai Qingyan also sat properly on one side, calm and serene like water.

King Liang was restless in his manor today. Tongji had already been gone for several hours. Every time he sent someone to check, they said Tongji was still waiting outside the corner gate of the Duke’s manor and had not met any of the Duke’s maids yet.

Although Gao Sheng had now restrained Liu Huanzhang, Liu Huanzhang, worried about his wife and children, could no longer bear it and was about to expose Duke Bai Weiting’s treason.

As long as Chun Yan could successfully get those few letters into the Duke’s manor today, even if they weren’t in the Duke’s study, as long as the letters were in the Duke’s manor, with Liu Huanzhang’s testimony, and given his father the Emperor’s fear of the Bai family and his dissatisfaction with Bai Qingyan’s actions in recent days, the Bai family would be branded as traitors!

Missing this opportunity, he didn’t know when he could crush the Bai family into the mud again.

As for using Bai Qingyan, after the female members of the Bai family were captured, he would find a way to save Bai Qingyan and one or two of the female members of the Bai family. He didn’t believe Bai Qingyan wouldn’t be utterly loyal to him then.

King Liang’s emotions surged as he closed his eyes and coughed violently a few times, wrapping his cloak tightly around himself.

When he reopened his eyes, a cold and harsh look filled King Liang’s eyes.

As long as he could destroy the Bai family’s century-old reputation, it would also be revenge for Consort Tong and his second brother!

As for using Bai Qingyan to gain military merits and pave his way to the throne, his desire for such thoughts had waned considerably at this moment.

The assassination had hurt his heart and lungs. He didn’t even know if he would survive to sit on that position. Bai Qingyan was now undisguisedly scornful of him, even stating in front of the people that she would rather marry a ghost than him. King Liang couldn’t understand what he had done wrong to cause Bai Qingyan’s sudden change in attitude towards him.
