Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1492

Chapter 1492: Chapter 1487: Betrayal

From birth, members of the Imperial Family follow rules and etiquette. These things are ingrained in their bones; those not long-immersed in the Imperial Family wouldn’t possess them. Just when did the Emperor of Zhou start planning this?

Could it be that this Emperor of Zhou has the ability to foresee the future?

The Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom was being helped out by an attendant, yet her eyes were fixed on Tuoba Yao...

A bold guess suddenly arose in her mind. Could the talk of time reversal by the Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom be true, and thus Bai Qingyan was already prepared?

Before the Empress could think further, she was already being assisted away by the inner guards, her mind in turmoil, thinking of the other three jade cicadas the Second Prince previously demanded from Zhou.

The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom was in utter chaos, incapable of calming down no matter how she forced herself to. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

She couldn’t help but think of time reversal, believing that unless Bai Qingyan had experienced these events, how could she predict everything so accurately at such a young age; was she a demon?

Recalling the news from before, from the calamity that befell the Bai family in Jin Kingdom, to Bai Qingyan’s invincibility on the Southern Border battlefield, then to the battle with Daliang where even Xun Tianzhang succumbed to his injuries, and later her overthrow of the Jin Dynasty to ascend the throne, subduing Rong and annihilating Xiliang...

If Bai Qingyan didn’t have the ability of time reversal, would her journey have been this smooth?

Now the city defense of the Dongyi Kingdom’s Imperial Palace has been taken over by five thousand men under Shen Liangyu, allowing Bai Qingyan to move within the Dongyi Imperial Palace freely and steadily.

Just as Bai Qingyan descended from the high steps of the Dongyi Kingdom’s main hall, she saw Shen Liangyu approaching with a fast-paced team. Upon seeing Bai Qingyan, he hurriedly took a couple of running steps and stood before her, saluting: "Young General Bai, all spies who’ve received the message have arrived and are currently in the barracks at the south gate of the Dongyi Imperial Palace. The city defenses are now ours, absolutely safe! Following Young General Bai’s instructions, those who did not immediately come or were preparing to flee have been thoroughly dealt with. All imperial guards, idle attendants, and palace maids have been gathered in several plazas under the pretext of identifying rebels from the Second Prince’s men, and they’re being checked one by one!"

Bai Qingyan nodded and, while quickly moving towards the south gate of the Imperial Palace with Shen Liangyu, asked, "Have Shen Ruohai and Shen Ruojiang returned?"

"Just now Seventh Master sent someone saying they saw the people left by Shen Ruohai after delivering the city and palace construction maps of the Dongyi Kingdom, and mentioned that the two have gone to scout the terrain," said Shen Liangyu.

Bai Qingyan nodded and asked again, "Where has the Regent Prince of Yan reached?"

"Old Cheng hasn’t sent anyone to report, but it’s estimated that he should have arrived by now!" Shen Liangyu said.

"Good!" Bai Qingyan glanced at Shen Liangyu, "Have someone from Cheng Yuanzhi’s side send word immediately once a message is received!"

"Yes!" responded Shen Liangyu.

Those spies placed by Daliang in the Dongyi Kingdom, upon receiving the message from Shen Liangyu, dared not hesitate... each under the pretense of turmoil, found excuses to come to the location specified by Shen Liangyu.

But once arrived, they realized not only were there other spies like themselves, but also other court officials and even eunuchs and palace maids from the Imperial Palace...
