Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627: Chapter 624: Proper Consideration_1

"Father, don’t think that your daughter only holds personal grudges, so I’m asking you to split your forces to kill Bai Qingyan at this moment! I truly believe that Bai Qingyan could disrupt your grand plan. More importantly... if Bai Qingyan dies now, the Eldest Princess will surely blame King Xin and won’t suspect us. This is all to our advantage without any harm."

Didn’t King Xian understand his own daughter? Clearly, she was seeking revenge for personal grievances.

"Alright, alright, you don’t need to worry about this. The Emperor has already sent someone to keep an eye on Princess of Zhen’s residence. This morning, except for sending someone back to Shuoyang with peace notices, Bai Qingyan hasn’t left the city. Rest assured! If Bai Qingyan makes any sudden moves, the Emperor will certainly look into her. But acting against Bai Qingyan now, if she were to miraculously escape, it would be detrimental to our grand plan! Our objective is to have you sit on the Empress’ throne; the overall situation is more important!" King Xian spoke earnestly to Liu Ruofu.

Liu Ruofu bit her lip, frowning.

King Xian’s personal attendant ran into the main hall courtyard and bowed to King Xian: "Your Highness, King Liang has arrived!"

Liu Ruofu felt disgusted upon hearing "King Liang" and turned away with a flick of her handkerchief, unwilling to look at King Liang’s weak appearance.

King Xian shook his head at his daughter’s back and said: "Quick, invite King Liang to the main hall."

Liu Ruofu paused at the corner and, covering her mouth, told her close maid: "Go and invite General Xiao Wang!"

"Yes!" Liu Ruofu’s maid replied and hurried away.

The maid knew well that General Xiao Wang, the eldest son of General Wang, had admired Commandery Princess Liu Ruofu since childhood. Originally, he planned to seek marriage after achieving military merit, but who knew... Liu Ruofu would end up marrying King Liang.

Previously, when General Wang brought General Xiao Wang to the capital for Liu Ruofu’s wedding, General Xiao Wang privately met with her, claiming King Liang was too weak for Liu Ruofu and wanted to elope with her.

Later, General Xiao Wang learned that King Xian was gradually placing the Nandu army into Dadu City to help King Liang ascend the throne and make Liu Ruofu the Empress. He then gave up the idea of eloping.

Now Liu Ruofu was asking for General Xiao Wang, likely to have him kill Princess of Zhen for her.

Sure enough, when Liu Ruofu met General Xiao Wang, she asked him to secretly lead troops to Princess of Zhen’s residence and ensure her death.

Though General Xiao Wang adored Liu Ruofu, he wasn’t without a brain. Worried about sabotaging King Xian’s grand plan, he hesitated. Liu Ruofu said: "Don’t forget, there are twenty thousand Anping soldiers outside the city. Princess of Zhen is a skilled leader who has won several battles with fewer soldiers. Father may underestimate women, but I can’t let anything go wrong! If something does go wrong, it won’t just be Father, me, and King Liang who die; loyal generals and uncles who watched me grow up like family will die too!"

Tears glistened in Liu Ruofu’s eyes as she dabbed them with a handkerchief, looking steadfastly at General Xiao Wang: "So, I’m asking you to help! If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. I’ll just go die with Bai Qingyan, and this cursed child inside me will never be born."

"Commandery Princess, please!" General Xiao Wang’s face turned pale, and he quickly said, "I will do as you say and handle the matter. Please don’t worry!"
