Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1300

Capítulo 1300: Chapter 1295: Heaven and Earth Bear Witness

Murong Li knew that surely it was because last night the Empress Dowager went to the Regent Prince’s residence to plead with Ninth Uncle, after all, both he and his mother knew that Bai family sister had already given birth to two children for Ninth Uncle!

However, what his mother didn’t know was that Bai family sister and Ninth Uncle hadn’t really fallen out as she wished—all this was just a ruse!

Although, this time, after his mother’s apparent falling out with Ninth Uncle and Bai family sister, she demanding Ninth Uncle to set out on a mission to Zhou was a bit excessive, but in truth, it might have just struck a chord with Ninth Uncle. Ever since the premature birth of the two children, Ninth Uncle hadn’t seen them, and he must have been very concerned!

Murong Li didn’t object, he stood up, bowed deeply to Xiao Rongyan, “Ninth Uncle, rest assured, Ah Li will certainly protect the Yan Kingdom! Besides… Ah Li once lived in Dadu City, and knows the temperament of Emperor of Zhou. As long as our Yan Kingdom shows sincere effort and persuades the Emperor of Zhou with the plight of our people, Ah Li believes it can succeed. This trip… will be a hard task for Ninth Uncle!”

The uncle and nephew were cooperating seamlessly in their act.

Since the Emperor said so, even if the Regent Prince’s faction below were disgruntled and unwilling, they could only keep silent, but indeed, they were truly worried!

Despite rumors outside depicting the Regent Prince of Yan Kingdom as ruthless, holding power alone, those officials following the Regent Prince knew their Yan Kingdom’s young ruler was just a child. The Regent Prince did ruthless deeds to stabilize the Wei Kingdom on behalf of the child ruler.

Think back, when the late Emperor Murong Yu was still alive, Ninth Prince did not care about politics and remained within his residence. Later, if not for the need to destroy Wei… Ninth Prince might not have wanted to leave the residence. Eventually, Ninth Prince stabilized the Wei Kingdom with thunderous methods, the late Emperor passed away, and only then did Ninth Prince shoulder the heavy burden of Yan Kingdom.

If Zhou is determined to attack the Yan Kingdom and kill Ninth Prince… what will happen to Yan Kingdom?

After court, the Emperor, Ninth Prince, and Zhong Xingxiao all went to the Empress Dowager’s chamber to visit her, while the court officials descended from the high steps of white jade, their faces filled with worry.

The Regent Prince’s faction gathered together, discussing going to the Regent Prince’s residence today to attempt to persuade the Regent Prince to abandon the trip to Zhou.

“I estimate it was last night that the Empress Dowager exchanged her privileged rights with the Regent Prince. The Regent Prince will confirm this matter in Zhou, not dealing with the matter of the deposed Emperor, preserving the dignity of the Emperor. The Empress Dowager will cease interfering in our Yan Kingdom’s politics! That’s why Ninth Prince decided to take a trip to Zhou,” said a court official in a low voice.

“Yes, the Empress Dowager suddenly said she wished to rest this morning, I found it surprising. This makes sense… it must be exactly that situation!” 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

“But letting Ninth Prince go to Zhou is too dangerous! If… if something happens to the Regent Prince, the young Emperor cannot manage major affairs, the Empress Dowager… her vision is limited, wouldn’t our Yan Kingdom be in danger!”

“Then…” Xiao Rongyan’s smile widened, his gaze cool, “Sending me to Zhou was also Master Zhong’s idea, wasn’t it? Does Master Zhong think… once I’ve gone, Master Zhong will govern this Yan Court?”

Zhong Xingxiao, upon hearing this, hurriedly knelt down, quickly speaking, “Emperor, Ninth Prince… even borrowing a hundred thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare think this way! I know my capabilities… clearly. Emperor can testify to this; Ninth Prince, if worried… I could refrain from participating in court politics during your mission to Zhou, staying at home to convalesce! My loyalty to Yan Kingdom is as evident as Heaven and Earth!”

Murong Li glanced back at Zhong Xingxiao, wondering if this was Ninth Uncle’s deliberate cautionary move before departure, reminding his uncle Zhong Xingxiao not to assume Ninth Prince’s absence would allow maneuvering behind his back.

“Master Zhong is adept in diplomacy, it would be a pity for you to stay home,” Xiao Rongyan entered the main topic after Zhong Xingxiao affirmed his loyalty, “Since Master Zhong is so loyal to Yan Kingdom, then come with me to Zhou, use your diplomatic skills to finalize the merger plan for the Emperor and our Yan Kingdom!”

Zhong Xingxiao froze upon hearing this, quickly concealing his emotions, and bowed, “Thanks to the Emperor and Ninth Prince for considering my insignificant abilities valuable; as long as Emperor and Ninth Prince find need of me, I will devote myself to the cause without hesitation!”

After speaking, Zhong Xingxiao bowed deeply to Murong Li and Xiao Rongyan.

“Uncle, please rise quickly!” Murong Li hurried forward to help his uncle up, smilingly said, “With uncle and Ninth Uncle going together, this task is bound to be accomplished!”
