Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 910

Chapter 910: Chapter 907: Insignificant

"Your Majesty..." Gao Demao held the Emperor’s leg and looked at the Eldest Princess, pleading, "Eldest Princess, this matter is not His Majesty’s fault. His Majesty was bewitched by that sorcerer of the State Preceptor, the real culprit is that demon."

At the mention of the State Preceptor, the Emperor recalled how the State Preceptor once instructed him to ascend the Ninefold Terrace on the sixteenth of June. Thinking of his body deteriorating further, the Emperor, with dark circles around his eyes, seemed possessed, forcibly suppressing his hatred towards Bai Qingyan, he said to Bai Qingyan in a negotiating tone, "Bai Qingyan, I... shall make a deal with you! If you are willing to help me gather a thousand young boys and girls for alchemy, and assist me in ascending the Ninefold Terrace, I... will pass the throne to you. By then, you will have a legitimate claim, and the Bai family will not be considered rebels. We would each get what we need."

The Eldest Princess closed her eyes in despair upon hearing this, she held no more hope for this Emperor.

Bai Qingyan looked at the Emperor, her gaze calm and indifferent, not elated by the Emperor’s words, nor did she laugh at them. Had she once hated this Emperor intensely, Bai Qingyan now found him laughable, even pitiful from the depth of her heart.

To truly believe in the nonsense of immortality.

There is no eternal longevity in this world; truly leaving a mark upon this everlasting time is through achieving great accomplishments, yet the Emperor will never understand.

Perhaps this Jin Kingdom Emperor will leave a mark in history books as the last Emperor of Jin... demanding immortality, constructing Ninefold Terrace, requiring alchemy of a thousand boy and girl, thus inciting widespread rebellion, leading to the nation’s downfall.

Even Gao Demao, holding the Emperor, was shocked by the Emperor’s words, looking up with eyes full of disbelief...

The Emperor initially traded the throne with King Liang, later he was captured, and Qin Shangzhi loyal to the Crown Prince seized military power. The first action upon restoring the Crown Prince’s position was to have the Crown Prince summon a thousand young boys and girls.

Now... the Emperor proposed trading the throne with Princess of Zhen.

But, amidst widespread rebellion, Princess of Zhen seized the opportunity to ascend as Empress, who would consider Princess of Zhen a rebel, who would ruin the Bai family’s reputation?

And even among the nations, in this world where the strong dominate, would Yan Kingdom or Xiliang or Rong truly defy... refuse to recognize the Empress of Zhou?

Gao Demao could see clearly, having held the high throne for so long, how could the Emperor not see through this? He was simply blinded by his obsession, naïve in trying to deceive a girl.

Before Bai Qingyan could respond, the sound of killing suddenly erupted outside, and the clash of weapons was transmitted into the Luohong Tower, causing Gao Demao to tremble like a startled bird.

Soon, Shen Tianzhi pushed open a crack in the door of Luohong Tower, leading a dozen guards quickly inside to Bai Qingyan’s side, whispered in her ear, "King Liang has led men and attacked; they came prepared and started fires around, and all who came are top-notch masters. My suggestion is we fight to the death to pave a blood path for the Emperor and Eldest Princess, escorting them away."

Bai Qingyan looked up at King Liang...

She believed King Liang was already dead, yet he was still alive, truly fortunate.
