Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1315

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1310: As Easy as Pie

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li wiped her tears and nodded repeatedly: "To marry and to be wed, this I understand fully. Rest assured, husband, I will conduct myself appropriately. If I am unsure, I will consult with my maternal family and my mother."

Just as they were speaking, Sima Yan saw a group of exiled convicts being escorted out from the city. The leading soldier in charge of the escort showed the guard the documentation, then promptly mounted his horse and rode leisurely toward the outskirts.

"Then there is nothing more for me to instruct!" Having finished speaking with his wife, Sima Yan bowed deeply, "The household is entrusted to you, Madam. I must burden you greatly."

Mrs. Li nodded: "Husband, take care on your journey!"

The Regent Prince Xiao Rongyan, envoy of the Yan Kingdom, arrived in Dadu City. During the morning court, Bai Qingyan received Xiao Rongyan and his entourage.

The Regent Prince Xiao Rongyan proposed in court a strategy to decide victory with national policy, suggesting a merger of the two nations, causing the Zhou royal court to burst into a frenzy.

The court officials and generals of the Zhou Dynasty were all emotionally charged, shouting to hand over the Empress Dowager of Yan, otherwise the Zhou royal court would certainly fight to the death. After all... in a current conflict, the advantage lies with the Zhou Dynasty, and it is possible for them to eradicate the Yan Kingdom completely within two years.

Bai Qingyan sat atop the high platform, watching Xiao Rongyan, envoy of the Yan Kingdom, standing in the middle of the grand hall, with a faint smile on her face.

Even though they were husband and wife, they now each represented their own country, and major affairs should not be influenced by personal feelings. Bai Qingyan didn’t prevent the Zhou court officials from glaring angrily at the Yan envoy and his entourage.

Zhong Xingxiao stood trembling to the left of Xiao Rongyan, bowing his head very low, afraid that the Zhou court officials would find out he was the brother of the Empress Dowager of Yan and would devour him alive.

Zhong Xingxiao was even more afraid of Bai Qingyan knowing his identity; he feared that while Bai Qingyan might not dare to act against him openly, she might take revenge in secret. After all, they were now on the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Emperor of Zhou could easily deal with him.

"Ninth Prince of Yan..." The Minister of Rites Liu Rushi stepped forward, bowing to the tall figure of the masked Ninth Prince of Yan, "Our Zhou Dynasty demands an explanation from the Yan Kingdom... regarding their betrayal during the conquest of Xiliang. The Ninth Prince asked for a month and a half, and we granted this time, but the Ninth Prince has given no explanation and instead proposes to decide victory with national policy and merge the two nations. This benefits Yan Kingdom but is detrimental to us Zhou Dynasty! The calculations of Yan Kingdom are too loud!"

With Liu Rushi’s words, the emotions of the court officials and generals in the Zhou royal court grew more intense, shouting for the Yan Kingdom to give an explanation, and the more hot-tempered generals were already calling Yan Kingdom shameless.

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes with a soft smile; it wasn’t just Liu Rushi and the Zhou court officials who were skeptical. If the strategy to decide victory with national policy and merge the two nations hadn’t been proposed by her in the first place and wasn’t decided before the conquest of Xiliang, Bai Qingyan too would suspect that this was a stalling tactic by Yan Kingdom.
