Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1462

Chapter 1462: Chapter 1457: Knowing One’s Limits

"You and I have thought of the same thing!" Bai Qingyan nodded with a smile, leaning slightly closer to Bai Qingjue as she spoke, "Send someone to set off for the Dongyi Kingdom tonight. In the capacity of a representative sent by the Shopkeeper, see the Vice Minister of Revenue of the Dongyi Kingdom and have him meet with the Empress. Tell the Empress that this time, if Zhou sends troops, they will surely dethrone the Second Prince, and the Seventh Prince can take the throne. But the Empress cannot just take advantage without contributing. When Zhou’s army attacks the Imperial City of Dongyi Kingdom, we hope the Empress can ensure the gates of the Capital are opened wide in welcome, otherwise it will be the destruction of the country, not the establishment of a puppet!"

Indeed, the words to convince the spies were said by the Empress herself, and the Seventh Prince was hidden by them. Bai Qingyan had never met the Seventh Prince of the Dongyi Kingdom, nor were these words sent by Bai Qingyan to the Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom.

"Is there any token on the Seventh Prince, to bring when meeting the Empress..." Bai Qingyan’s eyes turned fierce, "Since they dare to use Zhou, they must be able to bear the price of using Zhou."

"I understand!" Bai Qingjue nodded after speaking, expressing concern to Bai Qingyan, "Eldest Young Lady, you have been working hard for so long, it’s time to rest."

Looking at her brother’s gentle smile, Bai Qingyan put down the teacup in her hand, "Are the people outside?"

Bai Qingjue nodded, "They are waiting outside!"

"Do you value these four people so much?" Bai Qingyan chuckled, "Well, for my seventh brother, it’s worth meeting them!"

"Trust me, Eldest Young Lady, these four people...will accomplish great things in the future!" Bai Qingjue stood up with Bai Qingyan, hands behind his back as they stepped over the threshold.

The imperial guards were pressing four scholars to kneel under the corridor not far away. Seeing Bai Qingjue following Bai Qingyan out, the four scholars glanced at each other, before they could react, feeling a sharp pain in their knees, they knelt heavily.

Although all four of them had pride, they weren’t so proud as to not kneel before the Emperor. They just didn’t expect that the Emperor of Zhou would look like this and were stunned.

Even with just a distant glance, the four could sense the Emperor of Zhou’s extraordinary grace.

Soon, the four saw Bai Qingyan’s cloud-pattern embroidered deerskin boots appear in front of them and became even more terrified, bowing their heads lower, not daring to even look at Bai Qingyan’s deerskin short boots.

"Are you the four who came up with ideas for the butcher’s wronged wife, letting that big sister use public sentiment and anger to force the Official Government to bring justice to the butcher and retrieve the corpse of Hancheng King?" Bai Qingyan stood with hands behind her back, looking down at the four scholars, speaking extremely slowly, "Do you think, the Zhou Dynasty...and I, the Emperor, would abandon Hancheng King and the coastal people?"

The four lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Who wrote the statement?" Bai Qingyan asked.

"Your Majesty..." A scholar in a blue robe spoke, his voice somewhat stuttering, hastily kowtowing, "I wrote the statement without imagining that Your Majesty would disregard the nation’s affairs, come to the coast, or that Your Majesty would...as a certain lord said, want to annihilate Dongyi to relieve future worries for the coastal people! I...I calculated the time, Your Majesty came so quickly, it seems you set off immediately upon receiving the battle report, traveling day and night. I...I misjudged the noble, caused trouble for Zhou and Your Majesty! I...plead guilty!"
