Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1405

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1400: Nemesis

"The Princess is trapped here, perhaps... there is no way in this lifetime for her to leave behind any bloodline for the Xiliang Imperial Family, because the Emperor of Zhou, for the sake of Zhou’s stability, will not allow this to happen. Just like the King of Hancheng... who also has no heirs!" Guan Zhangning earnestly looked at Li Tianfu, who seemed despondent, "The Princess must leave Zhou, leave Dadu City to fulfill His Majesty’s wish. Princess... please agree to leave with me!"

Seeing Li Tianfu appear touched, Guan Zhangning continued, "As for the Princess’s desire for revenge, if I fail in my duties and cannot help with the revenge story, you can wait until you’ve left a bloodline for Xiliang’s Imperial Family, then return for revenge. At that time... not only will you fulfill your duty and emotion as Princess of Xiliang’s Imperial Family, but also maintain your bond with Lu Tianzhuo, a solution that addresses both aspects."

"Have a child, then come back for revenge?" Li Tianfu fell into deep thought.

"Or by then, I may have avenged for you, allowing the Princess to forget about being a Princess of Xiliang and start a new life with your husband... and child." Guan Zhangning solemnly advised, not daring to linger too long, "Princess, if you’re willing to nod, I will arrange to rescue you from this cage in five days."

Li Tianfu clenched her hand on the round table, as if still struggling.

"Princess, there are not many of us left... we can’t afford for the Princess to linger!" Guan Zhangning was anxious at heart, but his voice was rather indifferent, as if he had lost hope, "If the Princess unwilling to leave, then we can only risk everything to rescue the Princess, even at the cost of our lives, it will at least count as us fulfilling our loyalty to His Majesty and Xiliang."

After a long pause, Li Tianfu finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Alright... I’ll go!"

Guan Zhangning nodded, "In five days, I will come personally to pick you, Princess!"

Having said this, Guan Zhangning then climbed out through the back window.

Li Tianfu sat at the flickering candlelit table, her eyes on the pile of ashes, yet the words on the paper before it was burned clean... seemed to be etched clearly into her mind.

Doesn’t her sister hate her? Even sending someone to help her survive...

She thought that when she disregarded her mother’s advice, watching her mother die before her eyes and still deciding to seize Li Tianjiao’s throne, they were no longer sisters, but enemies. But this... why?

After thinking for a long time, Li Tianfu vaguely understood, perhaps Li Tianjiao, upon her death, indeed could not let go of her sister, just like at the time... she should have killed her, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless, only placed her under house arrest instead!

If only Li Tianjiao had been a bit more ruthless back then, and not considered any sisterly affection, perhaps there wouldn’t have been the later... her colluding with Tianfeng Kingdom to seize the throne incident.

"Foolish, isn’t it!" Li Tianfu wept, staring at the pile of ashes, the question seeming to be to herself or to Li Tianjiao.

Mrs. Liu covered her lips with a handkerchief, laughing, "Our young fourth is indeed peculiar, even though going on expedition with others... why did she turn so dark?"

"Isn’t it just!" Mrs. Li clapped her hands, "Look at Kid, look at Jinxiu... all tanned to redness, peeling a layer off their face, yet they’re not dark! I reckon... perhaps the young fourth takes after her maternal grandfather, once tanned, never to return to fairness, truly worrying, coupled with that temper and nature, I truly don’t know what to do!"

"You don’t have to worry too much, children naturally have their own blessings! The young fourth is already the Duke of Gaoyi! How many women can be granted a dukedom in this world? Even among men... how many can achieve such feats at our young fourth’s age!" Mrs. Liu comforted Mrs. Li, gently patting her hand, "As long as the children are safe, we... should be content!"

Upon arriving at the Lotus Pavilion, as the carriages halted, two lines of Bai family guards stood at attention outside the Lotus Pavilion’s entrance, making for a grand display.

Two nannies stepped forward, assisting Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li out of the carriage, as they entered the Lotus Pavilion, the shopkeeper came out to greet them.

"Had we known the ladies were coming, everyone in the Lotus Pavilion has been waiting all day for the two of you!" The shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile to greet them.

"The Lotus Pavilion opens for business, there’s no need to make such a fuss, we’re not the type who flaunt..." Mrs. Li said as she sat with Mrs. Liu, kindly speaking to the shopkeeper, "Bring out your finest perfumes, as our Second Madam is quite knowledgeable in perfumes. Do bring out some good ones, and do not try to fool us."

"Look at what you said, with the two of you here, how could I dare fool you with ordinary perfumes!"
