The heavily burdened Commandant Lu, Minister Dong, and Wei Bugong walked out from the main hall, looking at each other. Although they felt Bai Qingyan had her own reasoning for her actions, they couldn’t help but worry.
Commandant Lu sighed: "What His Majesty said is absolutely right, and indeed... His Majesty has more foresight than all of us, but with His Majesty taking the risk to go to Dongyi... I really can’t be at ease!"
Dong Qingping also felt uneasy and turned to ask Wei Bugong: "When did you start discussing the Zhou Kingdom debt bonds with His Majesty? His Majesty asked you to consider... to determine how many Zhou Kingdom debt bonds need to be issued and how they should be implemented. Are you clear on this?"
Wei Bugong hurriedly saluted Dong Qingping before saying: "Minister Dong can rest assured that this official has a rough idea. Actually, ever since our Zhou Kingdom took over Daliang, a small treasury from Dongyi could still support us, but if His Majesty wants to implement the Zhou Kingdom debt bonds, naturally, the bonds should take the major share."
Dong Qingping nodded: "This matter... will be hard work for Master Wei!"
"Minister Dong, you are too polite, this is all a part of this official’s duty!" Wei Bugong quickly replied.
After seeing Commandant Lu and Minister Dong off, Wei Bugong placed his hands inside his sleeves, contemplating carefully whether he should create momentum in advance for the promotion of the Zhou Kingdom debt bonds, perhaps with some wealthy merchants and dignitaries leading the way, making it easier to implement.

Because Bai Qingyan was leaving at dawn, Bai Qingjue and Bai Jinzhi had already returned to the Bai Mansion to pack their things and arrange the guards.
Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingyu, and Bai Jinxiu stayed by Bai Qingyan’s side, listening carefully as Bai Qingyan detailed the conflict between Dongyi Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom.
When Bai Qingyan told them that before the King of Hancheng went to war... He had told Cheng Yuanzhi to convey to Bai Qingyan that he was unable to fulfill Bai Qingyan’s trust and would serve Bai Qingyan in the next life, they all fell silent.
Including Bai Qingyu, they had all previously doubted the King of Hancheng’s loyalty to the Zhou Kingdom and the Eldest Young Lady. Later... Only after the Eldest Young Lady mentioned there were spies within the naval forces they felt relieved, but did not expect Bai Qingyan to appoint the new King of Hancheng, who returned such loyalty.
In their hearts, they all felt some guilt for once not trusting the King of Hancheng. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"Sister... Did the King of Hancheng’s death remind you of Wu Zhe, General Fangyan, General Yue Zhizhou?" Bai Qingyu looked up at Bai Qingyan, understanding their sister’s feelings.
Bai Qingyan’s throat slightly rolled, her hand hidden in her sleeve still gripping the gold medal, she discreetly tightened her grip and looked down, saying: "Those loyal to Zhou Kingdom, loyal to our Bai family should not... Be let down again. For the King of Hancheng... In my trust lay a mechanism, for which I am ashamed!"
"Eldest Young Lady, now that Eldest Young Lady is the Emperor and no longer the Bai family’s eldest daughter, providing trust to the ministers and managing hearts are necessary, there’s nothing wrong with it!" Bai Jinxiu raised her hand to grasp her elder sister’s hand.
"Since Eldest Young Lady has decided to personally eradicate Dongyi, we will hold the rear well!" Bai Qingqi spoke in a low voice, "Eldest Young Lady... Be careful in all things, do not forget you are now the Emperor of Zhou, the pillar, and moreover, have two children."
Chun Tao wiped her tears while packing for Bai Qingyan, thinking that now that the Great Young Lady has become Emperor, she would finally find peace. Who would have thought she would still need to go on a military expedition?
