Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1504

Chapter 1504: Chapter 1499: No Talk of State Affairs

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rongyan gently brushed his fingers over the wound on Bai Qingyan’s hand, looked up to meet her eyes, and took out the mermaid ointment he had originally prepared for her from his chest. He carved out a small piece, warmed it in his hands, and applied it to the red mark on her hand, "Kid was expecting me, does Kid miss me too?"

Bai Qingyan heard this and tried to withdraw her hand, but Xiao Rongyan held it firmly against his chest, "Kid, I... miss you very much!"

Xiao Rongyan spoke earnestly, not teasing Bai Qingyan with sweet talk, but seriously expressing his longing, which made Bai Qingyan’s ears warm. She said softly, "Since you visited the Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom, what you should know, you must already know..."

Xiao Rongyan still held Bai Qingyan’s hand tightly, smiling and nodding, "The Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom claims to have a mother-child gu poison, doesn’t dare to defy Zhou, yet wants to please Yan, and hopes that Yan can help her find a way to break the gu poison. If she gets this method, she might break free from Zhou’s control, kill the fake Seventh Prince, and grasp power herself."

Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan with her clear eyes, contemplated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is that what the Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom told you?"

"Huh?" Xiao Rongyan sensed the meaning in Bai Qingyan’s words, "Isn’t it?"

"The mother-child gu poison, I told the Empress of Zhou, is used on both the fake and real Seventh Prince." Bai Qingyan passed the teacup in front of her to Xiao Rongyan, "Let go of my hand first..."

The position between the two with the chessboard between them was indeed uncomfortable.

Xiao Rongyan casually pushed the chessboard and teacup aside, gently pulling Bai Qingyan into his embrace, allowing her to settle in a very comfortable position against him.

The familiar, dark and refreshing scent on the man, carrying his unique aura, forcefully invaded Bai Qingyan’s senses, making her cheeks flush and the longing she suppressed in her heart infinitely magnify. She looked up at his deep-set eyes, resting her head in his embrace.

"Using this mother-child gu poison on the real and fake Seventh Prince, isn’t it too risky..." Xiao Rongyan frowned, "Such things should be used on the Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom and the fake prince. The Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom is deeply thoughtful and seems able to be ruthless. I know... in the Bai family, mothers are willing to sacrifice for their children, putting their lives above themselves. But there are parents in this world who value power and status above their children! What if the Empress of the Dongyi Kingdom abandons her child for power, chooses to spare the fake Seventh Prince for her own son... though imprisoning him would still be possible! It’s not foolproof!"

Bai Qingyan knows Xiao Rongyan is reminded of his father.

She lowered her eyes and played with Xiao Rongyan’s fingers, pondering for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "Mother made you some clothes for each season, I originally intended to bring them to you, but this time I sneaked away from mother, so I couldn’t bring them along."
