Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642: Chapter 639: First Achievement_1

Fu Ruoxi stood extremely close to Bai Qingyan and naturally saw Bai Qingyan’s uncontrollable trembling arm. His heart tightened. He suppressed his voice and leaned closer to Bai Qingyan. "Princess of Zhen, are you injured?!"

Bai Qingyan naturally stood with her hands behind her back, hiding her trembling arm. She shook her head at Fu Ruoxi. Her eyes fixed on the already disarmed and kneeling Nandu soldiers with a calm and composed expression.

Fan Yuhuai, who had lost an eye, saw that the rebellion of the Nandu army had been quelled and came to his senses upon hearing King Liang’s cries. "Detain King Liang first!"

"Father, save me! I am innocent... I truly came to rescue my father and the Crown Prince! I had no idea about King Xian’s rebellion!"

King Liang’s despicable behavior was already within Bai Qingyan’s expectations...

Even if the Emperor showed mercy this time, the Crown Prince would never let King Liang go. Bai Qingyan was not worried.

Fan Yuhuai walked up to Bai Qingyan and cupped his fists. "Princess of Zhen!"

Bai Qingyan saw that Fan Yuhuai’s face, scrubbed by the rain, was covered in blood. Her gaze fell on Fan Yuhuai’s missing eye. "Lord Fan, are you alright?"

"It’s nothing!" Fan Yuhuai’s eye was in excruciating pain at that moment. But compared to losing a life, an eye injury was fortunate. If his soldier hadn’t pulled him earlier, he would have been a ghost under King Xian’s sword.

Fan Yuhuai, seeing Fu Ruoxi guarding Bai Qingyan, lowered his voice to ask, "Princess of Zhen, this... Fu Ruoxi..."

"This time in saving the Emperor, Fu Ruoxi deserves the most credit!"

With just that one sentence, Bai Qingyan made it clear to Fan Yuhuai. He nodded. "In that case, leave the battlefield’s cleanup to our Patrol Camp. Princess of Zhen and General Fu, quickly enter the hall and inform His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Eldest Princess, so they don’t worry."

Bai Qingyan nodded and looked at Fu Ruoxi...

In the pouring rain, Fu Ruoxi tightened his grip on the sword and also looked at Bai Qingyan.

"Let’s go!" Bai Qingyan said to Fu Ruoxi, then turned and walked up the high steps.

The commanders of Anping Camp looked at Fu Ruoxi, only hoping that the credit for saving the Emperor this time could save their General’s life.

Liu Pinggao also stepped forward and said to Fu Ruoxi, "General, sincerely apologize to His Majesty and the Crown Prince! His Majesty will surely show leniency considering your merits in this rescue!"

Fu Ruoxi handed his sword to Liu Pinggao, nodded, then turned and followed Bai Qingyan along the path opened by the Patrol Camp and the imperial guards, heading towards the main gate of the hall.

Bai Qingyan stood at the closed main gate of the hall, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly, "Bai Qingyan and Fu Ruoxi are late in rescuing. The rebels have surrendered. Please, Your Majesty, Crown Prince, open the door!"

"Guilty minister Fu Ruoxi is late in rescuing. The rebels have surrendered. Please, Your Majesty, Crown Prince, rest assured!" Fu Ruoxi followed Bai Qingyan and shouted.

"Fu Ruoxi?!" The Crown Prince turned to look at Fang Lao, as Fu Ruoxi was the one who had intended to kill him before.

Fang Lao also clenched his fist, but thinking that the Eldest Princess was also present, he was not that worried.
