Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1593

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1588: Clear Objectives

The counselor nodded and then said, "Estimating that the King of Huangshan will receive the Imperial Edict to diminish the vassals one step after us, the Prince should quickly send someone to communicate with the King of Huangshan. If we can respond to each other, it would be beneficial, as the King of Huangshan is currently closest to the Emperor of Zhou, making it convenient to act."

The King of Jian had already formed a plan in his mind, nodded, and picked up a pen to personally write a letter to the King of Huangshan: "I will personally write to the King of Huangshan. You go and have the Crown Prince send someone to investigate the military intelligence of Zhou."

"Yes!" The counselor rose, bowed, and then went to visit the Crown Prince of Jian.

That day, the Princess of Jian, along with the pregnant Crown Princess Consort of Jian, departed for Yandu with the envoy from Yandu.

The Crown Prince of Jian watched the luxurious carriage carrying his mother and wife gradually disappear into the twilight, then immediately turned to see his father. Before entering the study, he instructed his subordinates to guard the entrance and not allow anyone to approach before drawing the curtain and stepping inside.

Seeing his father holding a flickering candle, standing in front of the map looking intently at something, he stepped forward to salute, "Father, I have matters to discuss with you."

"Speak, I am listening." The King of Jian did not take his eyes off the map, his voice solemn.

Despite the King of Jian having resolved to stand against Zhou to the end, he still felt uncertain in his heart.

The King of Jian had heard that this Emperor of Zhou, despite being a woman, had a firm ambition to unify the world. The last time the King of Xiping ambushed but failed to kill the Emperor of Zhou would certainly make the Emperor more vigilant, presenting a significant hidden danger.

But from the timing of Zhou’s military movements, the King of Jian had gleaned some additional information.

Although there were rumors outside saying... that the siblings of the Emperor of Zhou were united and mobilized their forces upon learning of the Emperor’s attack.

The King of Jian and his counselors had carefully considered these days, according to the timeline of Zhou’s attack on the Yan Kingdom, Zhou must have already been deploying troops to Yan Kingdom as soon as the attack on the Emperor of Zhou occurred.

Otherwise, if they waited until the Emperor of Zhou was attacked, then sent people back to Zhou to relay the message and then dispatched troops, even with wings, Zhou’s soldiers could not have arrived so quickly!

To explain this, either there was a traitor among their allied clans who sent the information to Zhou in advance.

Or would the Emperor of Zhou’s reason for coming to Yan Kingdom with the pretext of the plague was just a façade, and their actual intention all along was to militarily annex Yan Kingdom. It was merely coincidental that this overlapped with their allied clans and vassal kings, and the ambush by King of Xiping provided the Emperor of Zhou with a legitimate excuse to deploy troops.

The King of Jian didn’t believe there was a traitor among the clans, as their goals and interests were aligned with those of the vassal kings.
