Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1465

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1460: Overestimating Oneself

Liu Rushi’s lips curled even more into a sneer: "Dongyi is nothing but a tiny nation, not to mention comparing with Xiliang... it cannot even measure up to the Rong, yet it dares to try and coerce Zhou, like ants... How dare they challenge a giant! Overestimating their strength!"

The Emperor of Dongyi slowly straightened his back, squinting at Liu Rushi: "Then let’s give it a try, and see whether fighting Dongyi or gambling the nation with the Yan Kingdom is more important in the heart of the Emperor of Zhou."

Originally, the Emperor of Dongyi intended to test Liu Rushi, to see if the Emperor of Zhou was reluctant to send out the jade cicada because it was the consort’s relic, and that’s why he used two jade cicadas to trick him.

After all... if this jade cicada was not in the hands of the Emperor of Zhou, how did ordinary people of Zhou manage to replicate the jade cicada that even the Great Shaman of Tianfeng couldn’t distinguish at a glance? He had already compared them, and unless examined very closely, these three jade cicadas and the one he held were almost indistinguishable, making one believe they came from the same piece of jade.

The Emperor of Dongyi stayed up all night researching the three jade cicadas and couldn’t shake the feeling that the real jade cicada must have been in the possession of the Emperor of Zhou. Even if it wasn’t, the Emperor of Zhou would surely trace back to find the creator of the replica upon obtaining these three jade cicadas. That person must have the real jade cicada; otherwise, they couldn’t have replicated it so perfectly, nearly identical to the one in his hand.

Unable to uncover anything from Liu Rushi, the Emperor of Dongyi emerged from the musty prison, turned back to look at the two lanterns hanging high above the prison entrance, and said, "It seems that Minister Liu is still living too comfortably."

The eunuch by the Emperor of Dongyi’s side quickly responded: "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will instruct people to pay extra attention!"

The Emperor of Dongyi nodded before stepping onto the carriage using the back of the servant as a step.

Inside the carriage, he closed his eyes and fingers gently caressed the jade cicada, his gaze deep and somber. He must reverse time... only by reversing time could he reach that moment in time to save her.

On September 27th, Lu Ping escorted Mrs. Hong to Jinguan City, accompanied by Bai Jinse... and the little boy who stayed close to Bai Jinse and Yingshuang, who offered delicious snacks to Bai Qingyan.

Yingshuang, with one eye covered by an eyepatch embroidered with a white butterfly by Cuibi, knelt beside Bai Jinse who was bowing and admitting her mistake, smiling brightly up at Bai Qingyan without any feeling of wrongdoing for secretly sneaking out with Bai Jinse.

Bai Qingyan stood with hands behind his back under the corridor, looking at the three people kneeling in the courtyard, along with the Bai family guards kneeling behind Bai Jinse, his expression somber.

The wind swept by, rustling the lush green foliage in the courtyard.

Bai Qingyan sighed softly, stepped down from the staircase, touched Yingshuang’s head, and accepted the handkerchief wrapping the snacks, telling Wei Zhong: "Send someone to take Yingshuang to Doctor Hong."

"Yes, sir!" Wei Zhong responded with a smile.

Bai Qingyan instructed Yingshuang: "Stay with Doctor Hong and be obedient, okay?"

"Wei Zhong, take the boy to eat something, change his clothes. He suffered because he followed Xiao Qi out, not his fault." Bai Qingyan instructed Wei Zhong. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
