Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1503

Chapter 1503: Chapter 1498: Dazzling

The shadows flickered in the hall, making Xiao Rongyan’s deep eyes even more profound. He looked at the calm-faced Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom for a long time, then chuckled ambiguously; this Dongyi Empress wanted to exchange the method to resolve the child-mother Gu with the Yan Kingdom.

Zhou, apart from the Seventh Prince, used this child-mother Gu to control the Dongyi Empress. If this Gu was truly resolved, who knows what trouble the Dongyi Empress might cause. After all, people willing to forsake their child’s life for their own ambition are not absent in this world; his father was such a man.

The Dongyi Empress was deep in schemes, and if she were ruthless towards her own flesh and blood, there would be nothing to restrain the Dongyi Empress. Although Yan sought to trouble Zhou, Yan couldn’t dismantle this arrangement.

Whether the matter of the child-mother Gu was true or false, the Dongyi Empress was determined to replace the fake Seventh Prince sent by Zhou. As long as the Dongyi factions fall into a power struggle, Yan’s goal would be achieved, not that they wanted Dongyi to trouble Zhou on Yan’s behalf.

Xiao Rongyan stood up and put on his mask: "Regarding the stationing of troops, I ask the Empress Dowager to carefully ponder. If it doesn’t succeed, Dongyi won’t survive, and the Seventh Prince will have no reason to live! But I believe with your means and intelligence, it will not be difficult to achieve, unless you choose not to station troops from Yan."

He turned his head, his gaze beneath the mask sharp towards the woman on the phoenix throne, and said: "Saving a living person from Zhou is difficult, but killing someone within Zhou is quite easy! For the sake of the Seventh Prince, Empress must settle this matter."

The Dongyi Empress’s back stiffened under Xiao Rongyan’s gaze, but she endured the fear tingling at her heart, stood up, and smiled: "Certainly, dealing with Zhou... we must rely on Yan in the future!"

Seeing Xiao Rongyan don his cloak and hood as he left the hall, the Empress finally slumped back onto her chair.

Neither Zhou nor Yan are easy to deal with!

She figured it out; the Regent Prince of Yan wanted her to find a child of similar age to replace the fake sent by Zhou to prevent trouble for Yan. If the Empress lacked manpower, Yan’s stationed troops could assist.

After swapping out the fake that night, she could take power as the Empress Dowager to deal with Zhou!

Before this, if Zhou wanted to force Dongyi against Yan, Dongyi would delay as much as possible. If unable, they would send word to Yan so they could prepare?

But why? Just because Yan was also stationed in Dongyi, Dongyi could become a shield, standing in front of Yan to block Zhou’s thunder? In the end, the ones to suffer would still be Dongyi!

Everyone uses her son’s life to threaten her!

The Empress almost couldn’t hold back her tears.

The personal maid, after seeing Xiao Rongyan out, came in to find her Empress tearing up under the lamp, hurriedly taking out a handkerchief to wipe her Empress’s tears: "Empress, what’s the matter?"

"It’s nothing..." The Empress shook her head, avoided the maid’s handkerchief, and stared at the incense burner with smoke curling upward, tears flowing like a broken string, "I’m just... missing Lin’er!"

"Empress, it’s just three years. They say this Emperor of Zhou is committed to his word, and the Seventh Prince will certainly be returned! By then, our Seventh Prince will surely have grown taller!" The maid’s eyes reddened too, softly comforting.

As soon as Xiao Rongyan emerged from the secret passage, Yue Shi greeted him.

"Master!"
