Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1482

Chapter 1482: Chapter 1477: Consensus

Lu Yuanpeng turned his head and glanced, seeing that the surrounding Bai family soldiers were all busy and no one was paying attention to them, he said, "You don’t have to worry about it... I’ll take care of your lifelong affair! What do you think of my sister?"

Sima Ping paused in his steps, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yuanpeng.

"Let me tell you, my uncle is especially..."

"Get lost, get lost, get lost..." Sima Ping pushed Lu Yuanpeng away again.

"Hey! I’m serious with you! My uncle really thinks highly of you!" Lu Yuanpeng stuck to him again.

Sima Ping halted his steps, keeping his arms crossed, earnestly looking at Lu Yuanpeng: "Lu Yuanpeng, I need to tell you something..."

"What?" Lu Yuanpeng looked foolishly at Sima Ping.

Sima Ping’s gaze fell on the strand of stylish hair beside Lu Yuanpeng’s temple that had been cut: "Earlier, the strand of hair you left beside your temple bumped into my sword and got cut..."

Lu Yuanpeng hurriedly looked down at the small tuft of hair he had specially left, instantly burning with anger, drew his sword and shouted, "Sima Ping, young master will kill you!"

Sima Ping turned aside to dodge Lu Yuanpeng’s sword, dodging left and right, teasing Lu Yuanpeng like a cat and jumping around frantically.

From a distance, Bai Qingjue returned from patrolling the camp and saw the backs of Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng playfully fighting. He sighed softly; neither of them were easy to deal with, and he wondered who would finally pair up with Xiaosi.

On October 21, the second year of Yuanhe, the Bai family army of Zhou split into two routes, taking Guadu City and Liuguan City of the Dongyi Kingdom overnight, and the two routes of the Bai family army converged.

On October 21, the second year of Yuanhe, the Yan Kingdom’s army landed on the Dongyi Kingdom’s land, forcefully attacking the Dongyi cities.

On October 22, the second year of Yuanhe, the Great Zhou’s navy led by General Huaisheng landed on the Dongyi Kingdom’s land.

On October 23, the second year of Yuanhe, the Bai family army led by the Emperor of Zhou captured three cities of the Dongyi Kingdom, directly approaching the Dongyi capital.

Empress of Dongyi was in the palace, hearing the continuous reports of war from the front lines. Although she was pleased, she also had a faint worry.

Empress first leveraged the unstoppable momentum of Zhou to destabilize the head of the Dongyi Imperial Guards, then after the Dongyi navy’s defeat, the Zhou navy had already landed on Dongyi territory, and the Bai family army led by the Emperor of Zhou was proceeding smoothly from Guadu and Liuguan, quickly approaching the capital.

Therefore, the head of the Dongyi Imperial Guards ultimately decides to support the Empress, choosing to endorse the enthronement of the seventh prince currently in Zhou as the new emperor.

After the Imperial Guard leader defected, he went to persuade the general defending the capital...

Since the second prince ascended the throne, any court official who displeased him has been inevitably killed, he is no different from a madman, and the courtiers are all extremely wary.

If not for the new emperor forcing a rebellion, chasing down the envoy of Zhou, eventually causing the Zhou’s King Hancheng to die in battle, later bringing back Hancheng King’s corpse, and even threatening to feed the corpse to the dogs unless the Emperor of Zhou personally came to claim it, how would Zhou come to attack Dongyi?

The court officials kneel all over the ground, beseeching the Dongyi Emperor to reconsider.

In the eyes of the court officials, this emperor has indeed gone mad, with troops already at the gates, the emperor does not consider rallying the army, but instead wants to kill people! Mad! Indeed mad!

Yet the emperor is unmoved, even seeing the imperial guards not acting on his command to drag them out, his emotions flare up instantaneously, kicking the table in front of him, shouting: "What, you’re all disobedient now! Do you all want to die?"

"Your Majesty, this is lunacy!" The Dongyi Empress, not yet conferred as Empress Dowager, appeared at the entrance of the grand hall, lips curved with a cold smile, stepped into the hall, "Now Zhou’s troops are at the doorstep, yet the Majesty isn’t considering defensive strategies, instead killing his own subjects, is this what an emperor does?"

"Who let this wench out? Are you rebelling?" The emperor stood up, glaring maliciously at the Empress, surrounded by loyal guards who had drawn swords to protect him.

"Rebellion? Isn’t rebellion exactly what you did... second prince!" The Empress stood at the forefront of the group of courtiers, "Back then, the Majesty left an Imperial Edict, letting the legitimate son, the seventh prince, inherit the throne, but you, second prince, led troops that night, forced the palace, killed the Crown Prince, and all prominent ministers present, burned the Edict... did you think no one knew?"

The Dongyi Emperor gritted his teeth, glaring at the Empress, raising his hand to point: "Kill this vile woman!"

"Who dares!" The head of the Imperial Guards entered the hall with soldiers, drawing swords to protect the Empress behind him, facing the Dongyi Emperor.

Now that Zhou’s troops were at the doorstep, the Empress had already reached an agreement with Zhou, choosing to support the emperor or the Empress was no longer difficult.

"Rise, everyone, the Empress has already reached a consensus with the Emperor of Zhou, Zhou will support our legitimate son, the seventh prince, to ascend the throne!" The head of the Imperial Guards said loudly.
