Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1223

Chapter 1223: Chapter 1217: Old Acquaintances

Even in this life, whenever she awoke from dreams at midnight, she feared that everything in this life was just a dream, afraid that she had still failed to protect her mother and aunts, failed to save her sisters.

In the previous life, she had experienced loss, a pain unbearable, she endured with the conviction to overturn the misfortune of the Bai family, holding herself from death, yet every moment was like living dead.

Thus, heaven showed mercy by bringing her back to life, she placed her siblings, her mother and aunts foremost, put the great ambition their ancestors of the Bai family could not fulfill at the forefront as well.

Being with Xiao Rongyan, falling in love... getting married, this was unexpected for Bai Qingyan.

In handling major affairs without regard for personal emotions, she always felt that Xiao Rongyan did better than her.

Using A Yu’s identity, revealing A Yu’s identity to Xiliang...

At that time, Bai Qingyan also harbored resentment in her heart, but all were persuaded by their previous agreement that "handling major affairs without regard for personal emotions."

After all, she was from Zhou, he was from Yan Kingdom, each for their motherland contributing what they should was rightful.

It was her who was swayed by personal emotions, never had the heart to reveal Xiao Rongyan’s true identity, this did not mean Xiao Rongyan had to do the same for her.

If not for this siege of Jiangzi City, and Xiao Rongyan’s arrival, Bai Qingyan would always feel this way.

Perhaps whether selling out A Yu’s identity, or using A Yu’s identity, none endangered her safety, hence Xiao Rongyan would act without hesitation, but once it concerned her safety, Xiao Rongyan would act recklessly... even disregarding Yan Kingdom.

Bai Qingyan suddenly thought of Empress Ji, recalling Xiao Rongyan’s expression when he spoke of Empress Ji, his mother was trapped by the word "love" in this life, and his father, the old Emperor Yan was such a man. Having seen his own mother, he vowed to protect his wife for a lifetime, because he was the son of Empress Ji, so deep inside... he was a deeply passionate person.

She sealed the letter well, and also instructed someone to bring medicinal ointment, together to Xiao Rongyan.

Wei Zhong received the letter, just about to go send someone to deliver the letter to Xiao Rongyan, when Bai Qingyan said, "Wei Zhong, have someone get ready, before entering Tianmen Pass, I want to take a look at Feng County."

Feng County was always the city that bore the first brunt whenever Xiliang violated the borders, Bai Qingyan was always worried, had once instructed Li Mingrui and Dong Changyuan, who were implementing new policies, to give Feng County more support and care.

Now having reached Tianmen Pass, she wished to see, and also wait... for the reply from Xiao Rongyan.

Ever since the border of Zhou pushed towards Tonggu Mountain because of the battle in the southern frontier, Feng County’s life had become much better.

But it’s only been a few years since the last battle in the southern frontier passed, so the people still remember those tragic days, naturally they also have not forgotten the Bai family army.

When Bai Qingyan’s carriage entered the city, inside the city gate, recruitment was ongoing...

After all, the battle to pacify Xiliang required many troops, and the occupied cities needed soldiers for garrison, the troops from other camps of Zhou cannot be moved easily, so new soldiers must be recruited.

Sitting in the carriage, Bai Qingyan raised her hand to lift the deep blue window curtain of the carriage, gazed outside at the long line of citizens who came to enlist, even among the line was a small child holding a wooden sword, and from somewhere a woman with her hair in a bun and wearing an apron rushed out, grabbed the child’s ear, and pulled him back.

"Oh! Mother! Don’t twist my ear, Chun Sheng can join the army, why can’t I? I want to find Chun Sheng!"

The woman angrily pulled the little boy’s arm, smacked the child’s bottom a few times with force: "What nonsense! How old are you!" Furthermore, Chun Sheng had a general from the army as his guarantor, that’s why he went to join the military! Do you think with your young age they would take you! What would they have you do on the battlefield, disrupt the Bai family army!"
