Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1512

Chapter 1512 -1507: Surging Waves

When Yue Shi caught up with Bai Qingyan by fast boat, it was already the second day.

Lu Yuanpeng, who had just finished training, saw Yue Shi personally led by Wei Zhong to meet Bai Qingyan, he threw the sweat cloth to Sima Ping without thinking and went to find Yue Shi.

Sima Ping caught the cloth with one hand and grabbed Lu Yuanpeng with the other: “What are you going to do?”

“This Yue Shi is Brother Xiao’s personal guard, let me tell you…” Lu Yuanpeng looked around, seeing no one around, only then did he lean closer to Sima Ping and said, “I suspect Yue Shi is a spy planted by the Bai family sister next to the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom, definitely going to gather intelligence! This time Yue Shi suddenly came to see the Bai family sister, he must have heard something incredible and brought the news back.”

Sima Ping: …

“Come on, let’s listen in!” Lu Yuanpeng tugged at Sima Ping’s wrist.

“Behave yourself, be careful or I’ll tell Brother Yuanqing!” Sima Ping raised Lu Yuanqing as deterrent.

Lu Yuanpeng stared wide-eyed at Sima Ping: “Sima Ping, you’re really no fun!”

Sima Ping stuffed the cloth back into Lu Yuanpeng’s arms: “The Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom is no ordinary person; you also said Yue Shi is Brother Xiao’s guard, which means he is the confidant of our Zhou’s imperial husband! If Yue Shi is truly a spy sent by the Emperor, do you think… Yue Shi would be able to gather any information and return?”

Sima Ping thought about the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom and had an indescribable feeling.

Perhaps Sima Ping had too few opportunities to meet the Ninth Prince of Yan, he could only vaguely perceive the extraordinariness of this Ninth Prince, but Sima Ping could never have imagined the relationship between this Ninth Prince and Xiao Rongyan, after all… these two appeared at the same time, back then… Xiao Rongyan was not yet Zhou’s imperial husband but was a close friend of the Ninth Prince of Yan.

Sima Ping never doubted Xiao Rongyan’s ability to make friends, after all, in nations that belittle merchants, Xiao Rongyan could become a guest of nobles and members of royal families of various countries, in addition to his substantial wealth, his talent and abilities were also undeniable.

But Sima Ping still didn’t understand why Yue Shi, who was so loyal to Xiao Rongyan, did not stay with Bai Qingyan… or beside the Little Prince and Little Princess after Xiao Rongyan passed away, but went to the Ninth Prince of Yan instead.

To say it’s to repay his master’s kindness makes sense, but… upon careful reflection, it doesn’t quite hold up. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

“Seems like it’s right!” Lu Yuanpeng was suddenly enlightened.

Sima Ping glanced at Lu Yuanpeng, crossing his arms, squinted his eyes slightly, perhaps Lu Yuanpeng’s guess was correct, maybe Brother Xiao before his departure was worried about the Emperor who had already ascended the throne, concerned that the Ninth Prince of Yan might do something to the Emperor, so he specifically asked Yue Shi to act under the guise of repaying kindness, but actually to gather intelligence.

And now, news brought by Lu Yuanqing says there’s an epidemic in Yan, Yue Shi coincidentally arrived… probably to deliver news to Zhou as well.
