Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1521

Chapter 1521: Chapter 1516: Lifespan Ordained by Heaven

"Meeting an old acquaintance, King of Xihuai, there’s no need for formalities, please sit!" Bai Qingyan dabbed her lips with a handkerchief, "There are many affairs today, I haven’t had time to dine, please pardon me for the impoliteness."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is busy, having a meal at this hour reflects your diligence." After the pleasantries, King of Xihuai sat down below Bai Qingyan, then turned slightly towards her and bowed again, "Your Majesty, since you call me an old acquaintance, I won’t be formal with you. I dare to address you as sister-in-law, and frankly, my visit this time concerns my young nephew."

Even without King of Xihuai saying, Bai Qingyan had already guessed.

"Earlier, I found him in Dadu City. I learned he joined the palace of King of Zhen as a guard, it seems... it seems..." King of Xihuai pursed his lips before speaking, "It seems he aims to get close to the Emperor of Yan and the Regent Prince for an assassination! My nephew was once an emperor, and after the Wei Kingdom was destroyed by the Yan Kingdom, he harbors a burning desire. I hope... sister-in-law can understand, I’m here to inform you early to avoid any chaos in the Zhou Kingdom, and take him back before things get out of hand."

Bai Qingyan did not intend to inform King of Xihuai about Tuoba Yao’s presence in Dongyi, so she feigned ignorance and asked: "Is Prince of Wei at Bai Mansion?"

King of Xihuai did not hide anything from Bai Qingyan: "He entered the palace of King of Zhen. I met him once in Dadu City, but then he disappeared. I know he was with Lord Yinghui, and later I heard Lord Yinghui went to the coast to seek sister-in-law. I therefore pursued to the old land of Daliang. Then I heard Lord Yinghui took the remains of King of Hancheng back to Hancheng, and after many inquiries, I could not find my nephew. Thinking sister-in-law would enter Yan... I guessed that lad wanted to follow sister-in-law’s army into Yan, so I hurried here. I implore sister-in-law, for the sake of Rongyan and my friendship, to let me take the lad back to avoid troubles in Yan."

Wei Zhong came in with people to serve the meal to King of Xihuai, and he personally offered hot tea to Bai Qingyan.

"Prince of Wei is still young..." Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup, frowning, and asked Wei Zhong, "Is there such a little guard by Xiao Qi’s side?"

Wei Zhong immediately turned sideways and respectfully said: "To report to Your Majesty, there was indeed such a guard by Lord Yinghui’s side. But after Your Majesty decided to part ways with Lord Yinghui, with Lord Yinghui escorting King of Hancheng’s remains to Hancheng... and then return to Dadu City with General Cheng Yuanzhi and the Bai family army, I heard this little guard wanted to come to Yan, even got into an argument with Lord Yinghui, and then left without saying goodbye. Previously... Lord Yinghui even asked King Zhong on his way to Yan to find this little guard, to take care of him if found, and I happened to overhear it."

Wei Zhong nodded slightly toward King of Xihuai who was looking at him, "However, until now, King Zhong has not found this little guard."

Bai Qingyan thoughtfully nodded and looked at King of Xihuai: "Now that the Yan Kingdom has sealed the city, forbidding the Zhou army from entering or leaving, it seems unlikely that Prince of Wei could easily enter. King of Xihuai need not worry about Prince of Wei entering Yan. This way... I will instruct people along the way to watch carefully, and if they spot Prince of Wei, they will surely send him back to King of Xihuai."

King of Xihuai sighed upon hearing this and leaned back inelegantly against the armrest, furrowing his brows: "A Yao is my brother’s only blood. I have failed my brother... I barely survived, yet could not even take care of A Yao."

Wei Zhong glanced at Bai Qingyan and saw her holding her hot tea, smiling silently, not comforting him, so he stood quietly by her side.
