Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1576

Chapter 1576: Chapter 1571: Nothing Out of the Ordinary

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes to glance at the blood and stains on her body, which was quite alarming, and said, "This is all other people’s blood. The injuries I have are minor, Doctor Hong, you needn’t worry."

Doctor Hong took Bai Qingyan’s pulse. Since Bai Qingyan was a woman, it was inconvenient for him to apply medicine to her external wounds. So he asked Yingshuang to assist Bai Qingyan into the inner room for medication and bandaging. While he was sitting under the lamp writing prescriptions, Xiao Rongyan arrived.

Upon arriving at Shequ, Bai Qingyan had matters of Zhou to arrange. Given his identity as the Regent Prince of the Yan Kingdom, it would indeed be inappropriate for Xiao Rongyan to stay by Bai Qingyan’s side and listen to her arrangements regarding military deployments of Zhou. Besides, Xiao Rongyan also had his matters to arrange.

Currently, in the Yan Kingdom, the vassal kings were uniting in rebellion, and all the forces Xiao Rongyan could mobilize were in Zhou, making the situation extremely tricky.

He sent someone to deliver a message to Zhou for Wang Hanbing, asking him to pacify the Yan Kingdom’s forces and avoid engaging the Zhou soldiers within Zhou’s territory, leading to unnecessary sacrifices due to conflicts between Zhou and Yan.

He also dispatched someone to send a message to Ah Li, telling him... that clan relatives could not be trusted. He should mobilize available forces to guard the Imperial City, preventing the Yan Kingdom’s vassal kings from using the pretext of waging war with Zhou to protect the Emperor, and thus entering the Yan capital. The vassal kings might use the Emperor to command the vassals.

Although... Xiao Rongyan was unwilling to involve the Empress Dowager, fearing it would be too cruel for a child like Ah Li, now was not the time for softness. He informed Ah Li that if he discovered any contact between the clan relatives and the Empress Dowager, it was likely that the Empress Dowager would side with the clan relatives to snatch power from Ah Li.

If Murong Li couldn’t be ruthless enough to remove the Empress Dowager, or if it was already too late and someone came to rescue him... he should follow that person. Xiao Rongyan told Murong Li that it might be the wealthy merchant Cui Fengnian from Zhou. If he wasn’t mistaken, this merchant was Bai Qingyan’s third sister, Bai Jintong.

Upon Xiao Rongyan’s arrival, seeing Doctor Hong present, he respectfully greeted him, acknowledging him as a senior of the Bai family: "Doctor Hong!"

Doctor Hong knew Xiao Rongyan’s identity and also knew that it was Xiao Rongyan who had rescued Bai Qingyan this time...

Rumors had spread throughout the Zhou military, claiming that this Regent Prince of the Yan Kingdom had captured the family members of the Yan Kingdom’s vassal kings, beheading several to rescue the Emperor from the hands of the Yan Kingdom’s Xiping army.

The army was already speculating about the actions of this Regent Prince from the Yan Kingdom. They wondered if he rescued the Emperor because he favored their Emperor or if he acted to avoid offending Zhou and disrupting the balance between the nations.

Naturally, seeing their Emperor being carried back by the Regent Prince of the Yan Kingdom led them to believe the likelihood of him favoring their Emperor was greater.

On his way here, Doctor Hong overheard several centurions speculating whether their Emperor might overlook this incident with the Yan Kingdom due to the Regent Prince’s rescue.

Although the soldiers were grateful to the Regent Prince of the Yan Kingdom for rescuing their Emperor, it was, after all, the King of Xiping of the Yan Kingdom who ambushed their Zhou Emperor. According to the returning Anping Army brothers, that King of Xiping was determined to kill their Emperor on the mountain. Despite the Regent Prince’s kindness in saving their Emperor, the Zhou soldiers still wished for revenge.

Ambushing their Emperor was an extraordinary humiliation for the Zhou soldiers! Was this an insult, thinking the Zhou army dared not engage them?

They feared their Emperor might be too grateful for the Regent Prince’s life-saving act to seek revenge!

Soldiers gathered together, planning that if the generals summoned by the Emperor returned and said he wasn’t planning revenge, they would collectively kneel and plead for war.

Yingshuang came out, hooking up the drawn curtain with a gilded bronze hook, and gave a hard stare at the masked Xiao Rongyan, knowing he was from Yan, then turned and left with the medicine box on her back. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
