Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 619

Chapter 619: Chapter 616: Healing_1

"Miss, are you... planning to rescue Fu Ruoxi?" Lu Ping asked.

"Not to rescue, but to make use of," Bai Qingyan’s gaze shifted toward the direction of the city’s east, her deep eyes revealing no emotion. "There are twenty thousand soldiers from the Anping Camp stationed outside the east city. If someone can rally them with one call, those twenty thousand soldiers would follow to their deaths. Other than Fu Ruoxi... there’s no one else."

"Miss," Lu Ping furrowed his brows, vaguely sensing what Bai Qingyan intended to do.

Dadu City was about to fall into chaos. Initially, Bai Qingyan wanted to forcibly stabilize the situation... at least keep Dadu steady for three years. But now, King Xin and King Liang were both striving for the supreme position, preparing to make their move in the coming days with all their might.

Instead of letting these people become potential variables in the future, it was better to seize this opportunity to eliminate these variables once and for all.

Bai Qingyan did worry that if she was too conspicuous this time, the Crown Prince might suspect her.

But Bai Qingyan was not completely without a retreat. Didn’t King Liang want to assassinate her?

Since King Liang already had this idea, wasn’t it possible that without the Ninth Prince of Yan’s assistance... King Liang wouldn’t be able to accomplish it?

Moreover, there was another person who wished for her death, and that was Li Mao... and his son Li Mingrui.

Li Mingrui... was certainly a character!

The Heavenly Master, Jiuxing Tower, these two matters were inseparable from him.

Once this matter was resolved, Princess of Zhen Bai Qingyan would be severely injured and recuperating in Shuoyang, bedridden, which would surely lessen the Crown Prince’s vigilance.

"Uncle Ping, you’ve worked hard today. Go back and rest. The day after tomorrow... I’m afraid there will be no time to rest," Bai Qingyan said.

Lu Ping had always believed in what Bai Qingyan said. Previously, their family’s young lady had mentioned that a tough battle was coming, and now, it seemed she had already confirmed that the tough battle would unfold the day after tomorrow.

Lu Ping didn’t force himself to stay awake. He left as instructed since he had brought too few elite guards. Only by resting well could he protect their young lady’s safety the day after tomorrow.

The hour of the Ox.

As Chun Tao sat in the main courtyard with Bai Qingyan, she suddenly saw flames rising from the south of Dadu City.

"Miss! There’s a fire in the south!" Chun Tao exclaimed.

Bai Qingyan stood up, estimating it to be the Court of Judicial Review’s prison. It seemed the Empress’s people and Lu Jin’s men had already clashed. It depended on how skilled the Imperial Hidden Guard was and whether they could bring Fu Ruoxi out safely.

Close to the hour of the Tiger, the main gate of Qinghui Courtyard was knocked upon.

Chun Tao, who had been sitting with Bai Qingyan in the courtyard, was startled and looked at Bai Qingyan.

"Go open the door!" Bai Qingyan ordered.

It should be the Hidden Guard bringing Fu Ruoxi back.
