Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1484

Chapter 1484: Chapter 1479: Scheming

But... what does the Eldest Young Lady want Shen Qingzhu to bring this Wei Kingdom young emperor to Dongyi Kingdom for?

Bai Qingjue fell silent for a moment, thinking that Shen Qingzhu said that the Wei Kingdom young emperor was willing to use his own strength to fight to the death with Yan Kingdom, and suddenly his mind cleared for a moment. He turned to look at his own Eldest Young Lady, realizing something yet still a bit confused...

"I see..." Bai Qingjue looked enlightened.

"What? What do you mean ’I see’?" Bai Jinzhi was even more bewildered, his round eyes looking at his seventh brother anxiously, "Seventh brother, don’t join in speaking riddles! Tell me what is going on!"

"Bai Jinzhi, Cheng Yuanzhi..." Bai Qingyan turned her horse’s head and called out.

Cheng Yuanzhi immediately responded and stepped forward, "Here at your service!"

"Eldest Young Lady!" Being called, Bai Jinzhi also energetically stepped forward.

"You two stay here with the army to rest and wait for orders." Bai Qingyan finished speaking and then looked at Bai Qingjue, "Follow me!"

"Yes!" Bai Qingjue pulled his reins forward and left quickly with Bai Qingyan.

"Hey... Eldest Young Lady! Seventh brother!" Bai Jinzhi chased two steps but got a mouthful of dust, "What is this about! At least tell me clearly before leaving!"

Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping also raced up, asking Bai Jinzhi, "What’s going on?"

"I don’t know, they said that our little seventh came, and then the Eldest Young Lady asked me to stay here, she and seventh brother left, no idea what kind of riddle they’re playing!" Bai Jinzhi frowned tightly.

"It should be related to that rumored... Dongyi Kingdom seventh prince who escaped to our Zhou Kingdom!" Sima Ping’s mind was clear, "Think about it, just now the Dongyi Kingdom Empress sent someone to say that the second prince who usurped the throne in Dongyi Kingdom has been shot dead, and the Dongyi Kingdom Empress will personally bring officials to greet our Emperor and Bai family army into the city, indicating that... perhaps the Dongyi Kingdom Empress had an agreement with our Emperor long ago, presumably to endorse the seventh prince of Dongyi Kingdom to ascend the throne, right!"

"What does this have to do with Bai Yusheng?" Bai Jinzhi seemed to understand after listening to Sima Ping but felt even more puzzled upon thinking further, "Just now Qingzhu sister came over and said Bai Yusheng mentioned wanting to fight to the death with Yan Kingdom or something!"

Sima Ping hadn’t been up front just now, didn’t know what Shen Qingzhu said, hearing this... Sima Ping was also puzzled, Bai Yusheng was a child picked up by Bai family’s seventh young lady, what does fighting to the death with Yan Kingdom have to do with this Bai Yusheng?

Seeing Sima Ping’s tightly furrowed brows, Lu Yuanpeng looked gleeful, "Even our clever Sima has moments of confusion?"

"The Emperor’s thoughts are far-reaching, beyond my guess; watch and you will know!" Sima Ping remarked.

"I agree, even Sima Ping’s smartness can’t surpass my Eldest Young Lady!" Bai Jinzhi felt proud hearing praise for his Eldest Young Lady from Sima Ping’s mouth, who rarely spoke well of anyone.

"Facts are spoken as a nation, not as personal feelings!" Bai Qingyan was firm, "Before I set off, I roughly calculated that given the Yan Kingdom’s Regent Prince’s understanding of me, he would surely know something happened to King Hancheng... I would definitely annihilate Dongyi, after our Zhou’s annihilation of Dongyi, only two results exist, either complete annihilation or supporting a puppet regime. So... their Yan Kingdom would certainly come!"

"If Dongyi gets annihilated, their Yan Kingdom gets a share, if we support a puppet regime, their Yan Kingdom counts as contributing effort, in the future even if our Zhou supports the seventh prince’s ascension, will this seventh prince wholeheartedly seek trouble for Yan Kingdom on our behalf?" Bai Qingyan leisurely explained as she walked up the stairs with Bai Qingjue, "Moreover, the Dongyi Kingdom Empress is not someone willing to yield, if Yan Kingdom meddles in between, the Dongyi Kingdom Empress will certainly try to profit from it, after our Zhou fought so hard a battle, it cannot be for others to benefit."

"So, Eldest Young Lady plans to have this Wei Kingdom young emperor pretend to be Dongyi Kingdom’s seventh prince to ascend the throne, Wei Kingdom holds deep grievances against Yan Kingdom, thus... the Dongyi Kingdom Empress cannot leverage, breaking the Yan Kingdom Regent Prince’s plans." Bai Qingjue reasoned with clarity, "But what if the Dongyi Kingdom Empress refuses?"

"Then it results in the elimination of Dongyi, killing the Dongyi seventh prince..." Bai Qingyan smiled, "In this Dongyi Kingdom... the Empress doesn’t care, can she not care for this seventh prince? This... seventh prince was sent personally by her to our Zhou Kingdom, it would be a shame not to utilize him properly!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Zhou cannot be easily utilized by the Dongyi Kingdom Empress, since she thinks herself clever, using Zhou to plan for her son, she must be prepared to bear the consequences.

Bai Qingjue seeing his Eldest Young Lady’s steady calculation put his mind at ease.

Seeing Eldest Young Lady and seventh brother had reached the stairs of the farewell pavilion, Bai Jinse glanced at Bai Yusheng and stepped forward to greet, "Eldest Young Lady, Seventh brother..."

Bai Yusheng, upon seeing Bai Qingyan, clenched his fists by his side.
