Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Chapter 150: Beauty Pot_1

Just as Bai Qingyan was about to walk to the door, the Emperor suddenly spoke: “Bai Qingyan, on this trip to the Southern Frontier, should you betray the nation midway…”

Bai Qingyan’s hand, hidden in her sleeve, tightened slightly. Without waiting for the Emperor to finish, she turned around, bowed to the Emperor, and said, “On this journey to the Southern Frontier, I go to fulfill my duty to my ancestors and my filial duty as a child!”

Loyalty, filial piety…

Bai Weiting indeed served loyally, just as Bai Qingyan said. Bai Weiting took away all the men in the Bai family, leaving no space for the Bai family’s future generations.

The living, whenever they thought of the deceased they had wronged, remembered all the good deeds of the deceased.

Bai Weiting’s loyal heart filled the Emperor with unbearable guilt.

Looking again at Bai Weiting’s granddaughter, she must have indeed made up her mind to take revenge for the Bai family men!

The Emperor’s heart softened a bit more: “Go ahead!”

“I take my leave.”

The Eldest Princess stood at the entrance of the grand hall, beside the red lacquered pillar, her palm sweating as she gripped the tiger head cane. Her heart was in her throat, fearing that Bai Qingyan might defy the Emperor fiercely, inciting his murderous intent.

The Eldest Princess, whose thoughts were turning over and over in her mind, glanced back at the closed hall door. Her peripheral vision caught sight of the blood-stained Xiao Ruohai. Perhaps due to her own anxiety, or Xiao Ruohai’s lack of presence, the Eldest Princess only then noticed a Xiao Ruohai behind her.

She asked, “Does Kid know about today’s capture of Liu Huanzhang?” _{freēwebnovel.com}

Xiao Ruohai hastily bowed, still speaking in the calm and gentle tone used inside the hall, “In reply to the Eldest Princess, howuld the Eldest Young Lady, not being a deity, foresee it?”

Xiao Ruohai didn’t tell the truth. Because of what the Eldest Princess did by killing Ji Tingyu for the Bai family’s illegitimate son… the Eldest Young Lady had already turned against the Eldest Princess. Xiao Ruohai did not trust the Eldest Princess. His only master was the Eldest Young Lady.

After a brief moment, the hall door reopened. Bai Qingyan came out unscathed. The Eldest Princess, who had been tense with worry, finally felt at ease and quickly took two steps forward, grabbing Bai Qingyan’s slender wrist: “What did His Majesty say to you?”

“He admonished me that I can only win in the Southern Frontier, not lose. If I lose, I shouldn’tme back.”

Bai Qingyan’s tone was calm and ordinary, yet the Eldest Princess was so shocked she almost swayed: “What?!”

Upon hearing this, howuld the Eldest Princess not understand the Emperor’s intention?!

Openly sending people to negotiate peace. Secretly planning to send Bai Qingyan tounter-attack. Facing thembined forces of Nanyan and Xiliang’s grand army, if their forces were not diminished… Bai family men and Bai family troops were still there, a fight was still possible!

But now the war generals were dead, and the remaining soldiers were struggling. Howuld they resist thembined forces of Nanyan and Xiliang?!

All the Bai family men had perished in the Southern Frontier. Howuld the Emperor not spare even Bai Qingyan?!

The Eldest Princess’s hands trembled untrollably, turning to enter the hall to plead: “I will speak to the Emperor!”

“With foreign enemies glaring and no strong generals within, the nation is in peril. The Southern Frontier… I must go.”

The sky had already darkened. Under the majesticrridor of the palace, Palace Attendants were lighting the large Ruyi Palace lanterns one by one.
