Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1313

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1308: Affection

After Wang Hanbing checked into the inn, he informed the envoy group accompanying him to Zhou that they would wait until the Ninth Prince arrived to meet the Emperor of Zhou together. Meanwhile, they settled down in Dadu City to first gather information for the Ninth Prince.

As for Pingyi, because he carried the handwritten letter from the Ninth Prince to the Emperor of Zhou, he conveyed the message upon arriving at the Bai Mansion that night, indicating he wished to meet the Emperor of Zhou.

The guards of the Bai family had previously seen Pingyi, the guard by the side of Murong Yu, the late Emperor of Yan Kingdom, and sent someone to the palace to inform Wei Zhong that the visitor was a personal guard from the late Emperor of Yan Kingdom.

Seated under the lamp reviewing memorials, Bai Qingyan adjusted her waist, and Chun Tao hurried forward to knead Bai Qingyan’s shoulders, while Chun Zhi also joined in to massage Bai Qingyan’s right arm.

"Miss, you might want to see him tomorrow; you’ve been reviewing documents all day today, you should rest early..." Chun Zhi advised softly.

She shook her head, instructing Wei Zhong to discreetly bring Pingyi into the palace.

If she’s not mistaken, the silent guard by Murong Yu’s side was indeed called Pingyi, considered a familiar face. Though he didn’t explain his late-night visit, Bai Qingyan understood... Xiao Rongyan’s letter must have arrived.

The last time Wei Zhong brought back Xiao Rongyan’s letter from Yunjing, it was simple, mainly instructing how he should respond after returning to his country, and it mentioned he would act the part of the "abandoned husband" Bai Qingyan left behind. Bai Qingyan was advised not to spare any regard for the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom when seeing the Yan envoys; he would understand.

He also regretted being unable to have Yue Shi deliver the message timely, leading to Bai Qingyan’s premature labor, and he wasn’t able to accompany Bai Qingyan during childbirth, feeling a sense of guilt.

Now, more than ever, he worries about Bai Qingyan caring for two children, uneasy, he is determined to settle the national policies regarding the merging of the two countries within five years. In five years, he intends to merge the two countries, never separating from Bai Qingyan and the two children thereafter.

Bai Qingyan couldn’t keep Xiao Rongyan’s letter, yet each word seemed engraved in her heart, vividly recalling each stroke penned.

Bai Qingyan’s face was flushed.

"Are both children asleep?" Bai Qingyan asked Chun Tao.

While massaging Bai Qingyan’s shoulders, Chun Tao replied, "Miss, Nanny Tong mentioned earlier that both the Little Princess and the Little Prince are asleep, you needn’t worry."

Bai Qingyan nodded, surely she would keep the children close while handling affairs if not for her mother’s words forbidding it.

"Send someone to inform Nanny Tong, I’ll sleep with the children tonight," Bai Qingyan instructed, further advising, "Do not let mother find out."

"Yes!" Chun Tao smiled mischievously, acknowledging that the Miss nearly every night doesn’t rest in the bedchamber, instead joining the children, "I imagine Nanny Tong has already prepared, knowing the Miss intends to come over. Miss, first have some slow-cooked milk stew with bird’s nest, which Nanny Tong delivered earlier, kept warm on low heat."

"Alright..." Bai Qingyan nodded.

After having the milk stew with bird’s nest and reviewing some more memorials, Pingyi entered the palace.

As Bai Qingyan expected, Pingyi carried the handwritten letter from Xiao Rongyan.
