Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1513

Chapter 1513: Chapter 1508: Homecoming

Yue Shi hastily bowed and expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It’s what should be done!" Bai Qingyan thought about A Yu leading the troops to escort the medicinal herbs and doctors to the Yan Kingdom, and then spoke to Yue Shi, "At present, our Zhou’s King of Zhen has already led the troops to escort the medicinal herbs and doctors to the Yan territory of Zhou. The heart of Zhou’s people to protect the citizens is most clear to the Regent Prince of the Yan Kingdom, so... if the Regent Prince does not want the two countries to go to war, it would be best to send someone to the border to convey the message, allowing our Zhou’s medicinal herbs and doctors to enter Yan."

"Yes!" Yue Shi nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Yue Shi will definitely convey your words!"

Saying this, Yue Shi glanced at Bai Qingjue, Bai Jinzhi, and Bai Jinse, and said, "The Regent Prince has more to say, which he asked me to convey to Your Majesty in private. May I?"

Bai Jinzhi, being sharp-eyed and bright-minded, realized this was obviously a message from their brother-in-law for their eldest sister. Bai Jinzhi stood up and motioned for Bai Jinse to leave with her, but then she saw their seventh brother turning to look at the eldest sister, as if seeking her opinion.

Bai Qingyan nodded to Bai Qingjue, and only then did Bai Qingjue rise and lead the two sisters away, while Wei Zhong guarded the door, preventing anyone from approaching or eavesdropping.

"Miss Bai, the master originally intended to celebrate Miss Bai’s birthday. The birthday gift was prepared, but an epidemic suddenly broke out in the Yan Kingdom, so the master had to rush back to take charge. Thus... he only let Yue Shi bring the birthday gift over, and asks for Miss Bai’s forgiveness!" Yue Shi said, bowing to Bai Qingyan.

"The situation arose suddenly; it’s understandable. When you return, tell your master not to worry about these minor details, as there is still plenty of time." Bai Qingyan looked at Yue Shi, "Tell him that this sudden illness of Xiao Ali might have something suspicious about it; let him be more vigilant."

Yue Shi knew that Miss Bai of the Bai family would understand the master, so he bowed to Bai Qingyan: "Yes! I have delivered the message and the birthday gift, and now I must take my leave to catch up with the master. Please take great care of yourself, Miss Bai!"

"Hmm..." Bai Qingyan nodded, "It’s been hard on you all along the way; make sure you take good care of your master so he doesn’t catch the epidemic."

"Rest assured, Miss Bai!"

With that, Yue Shi bowed to Bai Qingyan and left in a hurry.

Bai Qingyan watched Yue Shi’s departing figure, her brow furrowed with worry.

Now she had not yet returned to the country, and it was hard to receive news directly from her; she did not know how the epidemic had developed.

Bai Qingyan did not bring Doctor Hong with her on this trip to Dongyi; Mrs. Hong remained in Jinguan City, presumably aware of the epidemic and perhaps already began working on a medicinal formula.

But... without patients at hand, Doctor Hong might only be formulating the medicine based on descriptions, without anyone to test it.

She leaned back against the hidden table, just hoping the ship could be faster, even faster.

The soldiers stationed at the harbor of Jinguan got the news that His Majesty, guarding the coffin of King Hancheng, would return in half an hour at the soonest. Liu Rushi led the Zhou soldiers and naval soldiers to welcome them at the harbor.

Looking from a distance, they saw the Zhou fleet of warships, bearing the Zhou banners, approaching with great momentum. Standing at the dock, Liu Pinggao and several naval generals stepped forward.

They saw the densely packed Zhou warships appearing in the sea area, with white mourning banners hung high on the ship bodies, and the plain silk draped on both sides thrown high as the ships progressed, flying alongside the banners.

The naval soldiers standing at the bow of the ships, like those standing at the harbor, held swords at their waists, wearing mourning cloths.

The Emperor was still on the warship, yet all the ships were adorned in white and plain colors, a display of honor and grandeur that even receiving a prince’s remains would not typically warrant.

The naval soldiers were already teary-eyed.

The naval commanders nodded in agreement, recognizing that posthumous honor and demeanor were often shown for the living to see. Yet, for the Zhou Emperor Bai Qingyan to reach this step, even if meant to win their hearts, they accepted it with conviction. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
