Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1606

Chapter 1606: Chapter 3: The Grand Finale (Part 3)

Murong Li’s throat rolled, he never expected Bai Qingyan to clear his name at such a grand national banquet.

To unify the world is such a great achievement, it is concentrated on Bai Qingyan alone, which would make it easier for her to command the officials and people, but she chose to clear his name instead.

Murong Li said, with his eyes reddening, "The governance of Yan Kingdom has many deficiencies, though the time in the kingdom was not long, Li could still glimpse one or two. The policies and governance of Zhou Kingdom are beneficial to the people, Li... is willing to submit to Zhou! Only hoping... the people can enjoy peace from now on, and there will be no more wars!"

Bai Qingyan nodded and with Murong Li, finished the wine in the bronze goblet.

Chun Tao held the wine pot and stepped forward, adding wine for Bai Qingyan, and then retreated to the side.

"This cup of wine is in honor of the soldiers who have returned safely!" Bai Qingyan raised the cup, turned to Doctor Hong to signal, and looked at the officials she invited into Dadu City, "And to honor the doctors who entered the plague city with me and treated the people! You are heroes!"

Having returned from Yan Kingdom, the doctors who once thought of fleeing felt ashamed, stepped forward, and declared loudly, "We... practice medicine to save lives; it is our duty. We cannot compare to the warriors who risk their lives for unification and dare to call ourselves heroes along with the soldiers. Your Majesty flatters us!"

"Sir, Bai Qingyan does not quite agree with that!" Bai Qingyan smiled, waving her hand, solemnly stating, "The soldiers who went to the battlefield... are heroes, fighting to defend the country and protect the people’s lives and border tranquility! The doctors who dare to go to the city of the plague are even more heroes, wielding healing powers to treat and save lives, also defending the safety and tranquility of the people! This cup of wine... is in honor of you, and also in honor of the heroic spirit that each of my Zhou people possesses! In a hundred years, we will all become a handful of yellow soil, but the heroic spirit of the Zhou people will live forever!"

The doctor, upon hearing this, tried tears with his sleeve, choking on his words as he shouted, "Zhou will live forever!"

"Zhou will live forever!"

"Zhou will live forever!"

The resounding chorus of court officials and soldiers in front of the great hall, earth-shattering, deafening, stirred people’s hearts, and made their blood boil.

Xiao Rongyan’s deep eyes watched the woman in imperial attire, as if standing on the clouds, standing under the blazing sun, surrounded by golden brilliance, holding a gleaming bronze goblet in her hand, smiling as she looked at him.

This peace has not come easily, Bai Qingyan and he naturally hope it can last forever...

But as Bai Qingyan had once told him, virtues have their thickness, periods have their lengths, times have their middle seasons, and heavenly laws have their rises and falls. They only hope this prosperous era of unified peace can last longer... even longer.

He lightly raised his cup to suggest to Bai Qingyan, gently speaking, "To the times of past conflicts, and to the peaceful prosperous times to come."

Bai Qingyan’s smile deepened, raising her cup high, "To the times of past conflicts, and to the peaceful prosperous times to come! Ladies and gentlemen... peace has not come easily, the future... requires us to join hands and shoulders, together prolonging the thousand-year legacy of Zhou Kingdom!"

"Together prolonging the thousand-year legacy of Zhou Kingdom!"

"Together prolonging the thousand-year legacy of Zhou Kingdom!"
