Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626: Chapter 623: Satisfaction_1

Lu Jin looked at Zhong Shaozhong and gently shook his head. "I’m talking about King Liang..."

King Liang sat at the desk in front of a small dark lamp. Having stayed up all night, a light stubble appeared on his chin, and his eyes looked increasingly deep-set. His gaze was no longer as timid as it usually was in front of others. Instead, it revealed a harsh determination.

"Did King Xian personally go to examine the body?" King Liang asked.

Hongqiao, kneeling on the ground, nodded. "Indeed, I saw him from afar. King Xian looked relieved. The headless corpse was likely Fu Ruoxi. After all, Fu Ruoxi lost an arm; there’s no doubt about that. And it wasn’t a coincidence that another person missing an arm died at this time!"

"What about the clothes? Did you look at them closely?" King Liang asked again.

"King Xian’s people guarded closely. I couldn’t look closely. However, from what I saw, it should be Fu Ruoxi!" Hongqiao said confidently.

King Liang let out a long breath. As long as this major event was confirmed, the first thing he would do after ascending the throne was to ensure the Bai family was utterly ruined and dead without a burial place.

"Your Highness, there’s another matter. The Commandery Princess intended to have someone assassinate Princess of Zhen last night, but King Xian stopped it and threw a huge tantrum." Hongqiao reported.

King Liang pondered. Liu Ruofu, the only daughter of King Xian, spoiled by her father and reputed as the most beautiful woman in Jin, could get anything she wanted in Nandu, even more respected than a princess! At the last palace banquet, Prince of Daliang mistook her, causing her immense shame. Unable to blame Prince of Daliang, Liu Ruofu naturally hated Bai Qingyan to the core.

Hongqiao glanced at the thoughtful King Liang and bowed her head. "I need to return before the Commandery Princess wakes up. Your Majesty, I shall take my leave." Hongqiao bowed to King Liang.

Because King Liang was marrying Liu Ruofu tomorrow, Hongqiao had been ordered to Liu Ruofu’s side early to talk about the affairs of King Liang’s mansion, but mostly because Liu Ruofu liked Hongqiao’s hairdressing skills. Having Hongqiao there always ensured Liu Ruofu had the most unique and beautiful hairstyles.

"Go ahead!" King Liang lowered his voice and reminded Hongqiao, "Those past few days... have you been giving Liu Ruofu the medicine?"

Hongqiao nodded solemnly. "Rest assured, Your Highness. I’ve mixed the medicine into the hair oil daily. The Commandery Princess’s child will surely miscarry before full term. Even if the child survives to full term, it will certainly be deformed. You have nothing to worry about!"

King Liang nodded. "Thank you, Hongqiao. Now, you are the only one left by my side!"

Hongqiao went to Liu Ruofu as part of King Liang’s plan...

King Liang could not let the child in Liu Ruofu’s belly be born safely. Otherwise, if a male child were born, King Xian’s ambitious nature might drive him to kill King Liang.

"Your Highness, you must not undervalue yourself. You are the true dragon Emperor... You should ascend the throne. This world is yours!" Hongqiao’s words were sincere.

After Hongqiao left, King Liang called for someone to help him dress.

Once fully dressed, King Liang stepped out from behind the carved flower partition and stood under the eave, watching the sky that was barely starting to brighten. He noticed clouds gathering, indicating a coming storm.

King Liang smiled. The task his second elder brother failed to accomplish, he would complete for him!
