Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1490

Chapter 1490: Chapter 1485: Skill

"Where is my son?" The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom clenched her fists, suppressing the tremors in her body, and asked in a low voice, "What have you done to my son?"

Bai Qingyan smiled, gesturing for the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom to look at Tuoba Yao, who wore a mask and stood beside Bai Jinzhi: "Isn’t this the Seventh Prince?"

Tuoba Yao bowed to the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom.

But the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom did not even glance at Tuoba Yao and simply said, "I am not stupid enough to not recognize my own son!"

Bai Jinzhi raised her eyebrows, glanced at the person standing beside her, and felt uncertain in her heart. Could it be that the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom was confused? If this wasn’t Dongyi’s Seventh Prince, who could it be?

Bai Qingyan, stroking the sword hilt, remained unangered: "The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom is unexpectedly shrewd, having successfully instigated the Vice Minister of Revenue and set up a trap... providing false information to our Zhou envoy, claiming the Second Prince was plotting rebellion and intending to kill our Zhou envoy, forcing our Zhou envoy to flee!"

She slowly descended from the high steps: "Forging an Imperial Edict, even including the command for your suicide, to substantiate the edict’s credibility. Then, informing Dongyi Kingdom’s Second Prince... that the Seventh Prince was taken away by the Zhou envoy, prompting this mad Second Prince to hunt down the Zhou envoy, giving your son the chance to escape! Perhaps... you didn’t anticipate that our Zhou’s naval fleet escorting fishermen would encounter the naval warships sent by the Second Prince pursuing our Zhou envoy. You couldn’t have expected Du Yulang would dare to confront Zhou, nor anticipated the King of Hancheng and our Zhou’s elite soldiers dying in battle, nor did you foresee Zhou would choose to strike at this moment, thinking Zhou would surely endure quietly before the outcome of the betting kingdom."

The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom trembled with pursed lips, clutching tightly at the fabric beside her. Even the personal maid kneeling beside the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom was quivering, terrified that the Emperor of Zhou had understood her Empress’s thoughts so thoroughly.

"Once the outcome of the betting kingdom is decided, if Zhou wins and wants to strike Dongyi, you trust that Nanny Xiong and Jiangkou will find Zhou with your son, using the Seventh Prince’s identity to negotiate terms, asking Zhou to win lands for your son! But if Zhou loses the bet, Yan Kingdom supporting the Second Prince ascends to power will naturally not pull him down. Then, you would have them protect your son, living as a commoner, peacefully living out his life... right?"

As Bai Qingyan finished speaking, she was already standing in front of the Empress of Dongyi Kingdom, forcing the Empress to take a step back.

"As a mother, you can calculate so much for your child—you indeed are a good mother!" Bai Qingyan’s smile carried deep meaning, "However, our Zhou is not a pawn for you to manipulate! Now... I’ve already arranged an Emperor for Dongyi Kingdom..."

The Empress stayed composed, bowing to Bai Qingyan, then solemnly asked again: "May I ask the Emperor of Zhou, where is my son?"

Bai Qingyan replied leisurely, "Whether the Seventh Prince is well in Zhou depends entirely on the well-being of Dongyi Kingdom’s Emperor!"

The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom clenched her fists tightly, looking at the masked fake Seventh Prince, her pupils trembling...

Bai Jinzhi’s hand resting behind her back suddenly tightened as she finally realized... perhaps the person beside her was Bai Yusheng that little seven had brought back!

It turns out, Eldest Young Lady was letting Bai Yusheng become the Emperor of Dongyi Kingdom, hence Bai Yusheng’s words about a life-and-death struggle with Yan Kingdom!
