Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621: Chapter 618: Logical_1

Seeing that Fu Ruoxi had already made up her mind and listened to his words, Bai Qingyan then said, "Uncle Ping, you first take General Fu to rest. Tomorrow morning, find a way to send General Fu out of the city. After settling General Fu, come back; I have something to instruct."

"Yes!"

Lu Ping responded and led Fu Ruoxi away.

Not long after, Lu Ping returned.

Bai Qingyan took a few steps towards Lu Ping and lowered his voice, saying, "Uncle Ping, before dawn, I need a corpse with a severed right arm, dressed in Fu Ruoxi’s clothes, and beheaded. Can Uncle Ping manage it?"

The young lady was going to fake Fu Ruoxi’s corpse; this was rather troublesome, as Fu Ruoxi had a severed right arm, and it had not been long since it was cut.

Lu Ping gritted his teeth; Fu Ruoxi would return on October 15, so they only needed to bluff through two days, and there was indeed a way. He cupped his fists and responded, "Young lady, rest assured. Lu Ping will get it done before dawn!"

After Lu Ping left, Qinghui Courtyard became quiet again, so quiet that only the sound of the wind remained.

Chun Tao looked at Bai Qingyan, who stood under the lantern in the corridor with furrowed brows, and spoke gently, "Young lady, sleep..." _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"Hmm!" Bai Qingyan responded. It was time to sleep and gather strength; tomorrow... was the main event.

This night, not only did Bai Qingyan not sleep, but the Crown Prince, Master Tan, and Lu Jin also found it difficult to rest.

The Crown Prince and Master Tan had just received Fu Ruoxi’s testimony when a fire suddenly broke out at the Court of Judicial Review prison.

Lu Jin immediately realized that someone had come to kill Fu Ruoxi. While everyone was fully focused on dealing with the Hidden Guards who came to assassinate Fu Ruoxi and busy putting out the fire, Lu Jin ordered the prison guards who came to reinforce to first transfer Fu Ruoxi away, but later... Fu Ruoxi disappeared.

Besides the corpses of those dead warriors, Lu Jin discovered two more corpses of prison guards. After identification by the guards below, it was confirmed that these two were not guards of their Court of Judicial Review prison. Lu Jin was so shocked he almost fell.

The Crown Prince and Master Tan also looked serious, feeling that the Empress and King Xin’s people were simply capable of everything. They became even more cautious and immediately ordered a recount of the prison guards at the Court of Judicial Review.

"Since Fu Ruoxi’s testimony is already in hand, Your Highness doesn’t need to hesitate anymore... Just arrest King Xin," Master Tan decided without delay. "Then let the Patrol Camp search the entire city for Fu Ruoxi. We must see the person alive or the corpse dead!"

The Crown Prince, hidden behind his hands, tightened his grip. With a look of deep thought, he did not speak.

He wanted to completely overthrow the Empress and King Xin, but now he only had Fu Ruoxi’s testimony, without any physical evidence. If in the future King Xin and the Empress, after Father Emperor wakes up, claim Fu Ruoxi has falsely accused them, considering Father Emperor’s previous fondness for King Xin, he might still lift them up gently and put them down softly.

Moreover, regarding what Old Fang said about bribing the palace maid who once served the Empress, it ultimately concerns the royal bloodline. If Father Emperor investigates thoroughly and finds that it was the scheme of his Crown Prince’s residence...

The Crown Prince couldn’t help but shiver, for then, he would become the Crown Prince who framed his brother. There was a chance Father Emperor might depose him.
