Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Rebel_1

The battle in the southern borders had cost the Jin Kingdom hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The Jin Kingdom would not have the strength to battle Xiliang again for at least five years and would undoubtedly have to cede land for peace.

The Emperor, with a head full of anger, was trembling. He had been enraged by the Bai family’s coercion, but at this moment, his greatest anger was directed at his legitimate son, King Xin!

That arrogant fool had no ability yet forced the commander into battle. He regretted ever giving King Xin the gold medal and arrow. His own child… Could he not see what kind of person he was?!

Yes, when he sent King Xin to the Duke of Zhen’s estate, it was with the intention of having King Xin overpower the Duke. He only wanted to bring guilt upon the Duke of Zhen’s entire household. He merely intended to curb the so-called undefeated legend of this military family.

But as the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he had never intended for the Jin Kingdom to be defeated so miserably!

The Bai family members’ deaths were of no consequence, but those countless soldiers who had died were his troops. How could he not feel heartbroken?!

...

And then there was Liu Huanzhang!

Daring to betray the nation!

Daring to lead the Jin Kingdom’s army against its own people!

A traitor! To execute the Nine Clans of his family! They must be executed!

The Emperor’s hand, holding the bamboo slip, kept shaking. As he thought of the Bai daughters dressed in mourning clothes kneeling at the Wude Gate and the citizens of Dadu City, pressuring him to kill his legitimate son, his anger flared even more.

He only had that one legitimate son!

The Emperor was deeply troubled and felt an overwhelming desire to immediately order the extermination of the entire Bai family.

At this moment, the Empress was pacing outside the grand hall, uncertain of what to do. Now, the Bai family and the people, surging with anger, were kneeling at the palace gates, demanding justice and insisting the Emperor kill King Xin to appease the public.

The Empress, having been married to the Emperor for many years, understood well his tendency to court fame and avoid infamy. If, in pursuit of his reputation, he truly killed King Xin…

The Empress dared not even think about it. The Emperor had many sons, but she had only that one!

Inside the hall, the Emperor, looking at the solemn Eldest Princess, closed his eyes. “Aunt, we are family; behind closed doors, we speak family business. What are you hoping to gain by causing such a commotion?”

The Emperor’s dark eyes filled with murderous intent turned towards the Eldest Princess. “Do you truly… want to force me to kill King Xin?!”

King Xin… deserved to die! _{freēwebnovel.com}
