Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1220

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1214: Depart Immediately

When he learned that Bai Qingyan was trapped in Jiangzi City, he led his troops from Anfen to Jiangzi City without hesitation, knowing that they were different.

"I have to go..." Xiao Rongyan said softly.

"Your wounds have just been freshly bandaged..."

"I need to take Yunjing for the Yan Kingdom, it’s something I owe Yan."

The smile in Xiao Rongyan’s eyes was gentle yet calm, driven by his personal emotions, having brought the Yan Army that was meant to be fighting in the Xiliang cities to Jiangzi City.

Now, he must return to the battlefield and take Yunjing to make amends for Yan.

Otherwise... if the news reaches his sister-in-law’s ears, only heaven knows what she would think, fearing she might once again cause trouble with Ah Li caught in the middle.

"Kid, I don’t want to burden you, but... next time you are in danger, even if not for me, nor for our unborn child, at least for your mother and aunts, and your siblings, think carefully. If they were to find out... you refrained from lighting the signal smoke to focus on Yunjing, and something happened in Jiangzi City, would they regret it forever? Hmm?"

Xiao Rongyan’s tone was exceedingly gentle, more so than in any previous conversation with Bai Qingyan, yet it made her heart ache with a bittersweet sorrow.

She was aware of the deep emotions hidden beneath Xiao Rongyan’s gentle smile.

"I don’t disregard you, I don’t disregard our unborn child..."

"So... when you decided not to light the signal smoke for help, what were you thinking?" Xiao Rongyan said with a smile, "You thought that sending reinforcements from Yecheng Pass would risk it being ambushed by General Cui of Xiliang, thereby losing Yecheng Pass, which would cut off the supply route for your siblings? You were thinking of securing Yunjing, the center of Xiliang, to lay the groundwork for future national policies strengthening the country and enriching the people."

"Kid..." Xiao Rongyan tenderly touched Bai Qingyan’s lips that were reddened from his kisses, "Did you ever think of, even for a moment, that you are carrying our child, and if something happened to you and the child, I wouldn’t be able to live? Hmm?"

Bai Qingyan slightly parted her lips, her eyes welled up with warmth, realizing that Xiao Rongyan came to Jiangzi City despite his injury for this reason!

Unsure when it started, Bai Qingyan’s position in Xiao Rongyan’s heart had grown heavier...

"I’ve thought about it, Kid." Xiao Rongyan said wearily, "I thought that if I died, perhaps you would grieve profoundly, or maybe you would be very sad... but you would eventually gather your spirit and accomplish all the things you wanted! But any chance of causing you pain, I have always told myself no matter what, I must not put myself in danger! So that you wouldn’t worry, how about you, Kid?"

Bai Qingyan didn’t answer, he sighed, "In this... I’m not as good as you!"

His sister-in-law once said that she was uneasy about him because the Empress Ji was such a passionate woman; Xiao Rongyan is the Empress Ji’s son, so his sister-in-law feared that Xiao Rongyan would end up like the old Emperor Yan, sacrificing everything for love, and worried Bai Qingyan would become like the old Emperor Yan.

He didn’t believe Kid would become like the old Emperor Yan, but he wasn’t sure if he would become like his mother... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Now, it seemed he might have an inkling.
