Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1333

Chapter 1333: Chapter 1328: Justice Served

Like Lu Jin, Bai Qingyan was full of doubts. Upon seeing this supposed guard from the Yan Kingdom, she stood up abruptly, her loss of composure leaving Lu Jin and the Minister of Judicial Review stunned.

"Your Majesty?" Lu Jin asked softly.

But Bai Qingyan seemed not to hear, her gaze fixed intently on the "assassin."

The "assassin," covered in blood, drew back his gaze swiftly upon seeing Bai Qingyan’s shocked expression as he stepped across the hall’s threshold. He dared not look again, kneeling at the center of the gleaming hall, head lowered, as if trying to hide his face.

Bai Qingyan’s fist clenched tightly at her side, and then she walked out from behind the table, heading straight for the "assassin" kneeling in the middle of the hall. Lu Jin and the Minister of Judicial Review rushed forward, fearing the "assassin" might harm Bai Qingyan.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Jin protected Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan waved off General Gao, taking two steps forward, with eyes red, looking at this "assassin," who bowed his head, covered in bloodstains.

The "assassin" before her was none other than the Vice Commander of her Second Uncle Bai Qiying’s subordinate—Gao Yuxing, General Wuwei of the Bai family army, the uncle of Wu Zhe, who lost his life to return the marching records for the Bai family army.

"General Gao..." Bai Qingyan bent down to help Gao Yuxing up.

However, Gao Yuxing endured his injuries, retreated two steps on his knees, and, with difficulty, raised his shackled hands, clasping them as he spoke, "The Emperor of Zhou has mistaken me for someone else."

Lu Jin and the Minister of Judicial Review were stunned.

Gao Yuxing’s voice was as hoarse as A Yu’s. Like A Yu, it seemed as though his throat had been damaged by smoke, perhaps even more severely.

Gao Yuxing was a close friend of Bai Qiying, her Second Uncle. Because he was not from Dadu, he rarely came to Dadu City, but he was utterly loyal to Bai Qiying.

Seeing the burn scars on Gao Yuxing’s face, which nearly destroyed his once-handsome visage, filled her with heartache.

After the battle in the Southern Border, everyone thought Gao Yuxing and the Second Uncle perished there together.

Yet Bai Qingyan persisted, moving forward, kneeling on one knee, grasping Gao Yuxing’s blood-soaked arms from torture: "General Gao, every soldier of the Bai family army... who has fought bravely alongside Bai Qingyan, I will never mistake!"

Seeing Bai Qingyan kneel like this, Lu Jin, the Minister of Judicial Review, Wei Zhong, and several eunuchs hurriedly knelt down.

Gao Yuxing gritted his teeth, and upon hearing Bai Qingyan mention the Bai family army... fighting bravely and camaraderie, nearly lost control of his emotions as tears welled up.

"Wei Zhong! Quickly summon Doctor Huang!" Bai Qingyan shouted loudly, holding back her tears.
