Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1514

Chapter 1514 -1509: As It Should Be

Liu Rushi and the naval commanders immediately reacted, kneeling on one knee and shouting in unison, “Welcome back, Prince of Hancheng!”

“Welcome back, Prince of Hancheng!” The Bai family’s soldiers moved in unison, kneeling on one knee and shouting their welcome.

“Welcome back, Prince of Hancheng!” The Zhou naval soldiers also knelt and shouted, unable to hold back their tears.

The commanders of the Zhou navy, all seven-foot-tall men, couldn’t help but let their tears flow.

Cheng Yuanzhi and the other commanders carrying the coffin walked steadily, their steps slow and deliberate.

At the end of the carpet… stood the Princess of Hancheng, dressed in mourning clothes.

After learning of the Prince of Hancheng’s death in battle, the Princess knelt and begged the Empress Dowager Mrs. Dong to send her to Jinguan City. She already knew that His Majesty had personally led the troops to avenge the Prince of Hancheng and bring back his body. She was grateful and wished to personally come to Jinguan City to meet her husband.

Initially, Mrs. Dong did not want the Princess to come, but recalling how her own husband, Bai Qishan, died in battle in the southern border, she felt sympathy for the Princess and sent people to bring her over.

The Princess of Hancheng thought that she had already cried herself dry on this journey and that her heart had become numb from the pain, considering her husband’s death was some time ago. Yet, upon seeing her husband’s coffin, her tears burst forth, and the heartache felt like a knife continually twisting inside her. Even biting her lip hard couldn’t suppress her cries.

They had agreed not to have children… to accompany each other till old age!

They had promised that after resolving issues at sea, they would spend summers watching falling flowers and winters admiring snow!

They had agreed… that he should die after her to spare her from being alone in her old age. They had agreed long ago!

Yet, after his death in battle, a loyal servant handed her a letter he wrote before leaving Dadu City, saying it was just in case!

If they vowed to be together for life, how could he allow for a chance of anything happening?!

This liar!

Wei Ruxing, you big liar!

The Princess of Hancheng clutched at her chest, crying so hard she couldn’t stand and fell to her knees at the end of the carpet. “Liar… Wei Ruxing, you liar! We had an agreement, you lied to me!”

Bai Qingyan, about to disembark from the ship, saw the Princess of Hancheng kneeling in tears, clutching her heart, and her eyes rimmed with red. Her hands clenched into fists behind her back.

“Eldest Young Lady…” Bai Qingjue gently called Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan came back to her senses, lowering her gaze as she disembarked from the ship…

“Your Majesty…” Liu Pinggao rose after kowtowing to Bai Qingyan and approached her, “Your Majesty, Doctor Hong received news of the epidemic and wants to set off for the Zhou cities in Yan Kingdom. I couldn’t persuade him otherwise, so I have him under watch!”

Bai Qingyan nodded, “Good, I understand. You’ve done well. Doctor Hong is getting old and should not be overburdened anymore!”
