Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1348

Chapter 1348: Chapter 1343: Torment

"This time reversal... is an absurd, unfounded notion to us in Zhou." Minister Shen frowned, "Therefore, I quite believe what His Majesty said, thinking that this Empress of Tianfeng Kingdom, at that time without an heir, would talk about the jade cicada to stabilize the court, claiming she lost her husband and child, otherwise, the Empress not of royal blood would never be able to hold court power!"

"The Xiliang people are very devout believers in the God, Tianfeng Kingdom and Xiliang are separated by a snow mountain, and the same belief would naturally deepen Tianfeng Kingdom’s belief in this mythical story." Dong Qingping spoke slowly, "So, what does His Majesty plan to do? Let them come?"

Bai Qingyan nodded, "Let them come! If they don’t come openly, they will surely try sneaky ways, so why not let A Qi hear their negotiation plans and bring the demands to the forefront."

"We should first send someone to guard the emperor’s tomb!" Commandant Lu worried that these people from Tianfeng Kingdom would resort to any means for this jade cicada and excavate Xiao Rongyan’s tomb.

Anyway, Xiao Rongyan was Zhou’s emperor consort, and if his tomb were indeed excavated, it would be a great humiliation for Zhou, forcing the kingdom to war to protect its dignity. And now that we’re betting kingdoms with Yan, we cannot let any conflict arise in the newly acquired territory of Xiliang.

"Naturally..." Bai Qingyan looked at Commandant Lu, "Let Fu Ruoxi handle this matter."

"General Fu is known for his meticulousness and will surely handle it well." Minister Shen nodded.

After Commandant Lu, Minister Shen, and Minister Dong left, Xiao Rongyan was finally invited in from the side hall by Wei Zhong. In a blink, Xiao Rongyan had solidly waited in the side hall for Bai Qingyan for an hour and a half.

Xiao Rongyan, being Yan Kingdom’s Regent Prince, naturally understood how busy political affairs were, so he wasn’t rushed.

When he entered the hall, Bai Qingyan had already had the two children brought over. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Under Bai Qingyan’s desk was a carpet embroidered with gold and dragon patterns, from the beams hung sheer and thin shark silk, hooked by spiral gold hooks on either side, and beside the agarwood table were tall piles of memorials, and a rosewood pen holder, with Bai Qingyan sitting in the center with the two children, smiling gently in the flickering light of thirty-two lotus lamps, mesmerizingly beautiful.

Seeing Wei Zhong and Chun Tao wisely leaving, Xiao Rongyan strode quickly to Bai Qingyan’s side, took the children and sat next to her, "Only now did I realize how hard it is to care for children while worrying about governance."

"Hence, I hope for the merger of the two kingdoms, and to live a leisurely life with you in Baiwo City in the future!" Bai Qingyan said, retrieving an agarwood box from under the desk with one hand, and handing it to Xiao Rongyan.

"Kid has prepared another gift for me?" Xiao Rongyan smiled opening the wooden box.

Inside was the deed to a house and land in Baiwo City.

Xiao Rongyan was slightly surprised, "This... Kid, the house you bought is separated by just a wall from the one I’ve already purchased."

Hearing Xiao Rongyan’s words, Bai Qingyan was also surprised, and after a brief pause, laughed, "Well then, we can connect the two houses, making it more spacious."

Bai Qingyan’s idea coincidentally matched Xiao Rongyan’s, as last month Xiao Rongyan actually intended to buy that adjacent house, but his actions were slow, and the house surprisingly sold. His people offered a high price, but the other party refused to sell, unexpectedly bought by Bai Qingyan.
