Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1228

Chapter 1228 -1222: Emperor of Zhou

It’s just a means to increase dress sales, and it can be considered a good means.

If this was in a storybook, naturally someone would want to know what happens next, and they’d have to make more dresses again…

For noble families, making a set of clothes is just a small matter, but for women and girls with nothing to do in the inner chambers, they rely on these storybooks to pass the time.

She thought for a moment and said to Chun Zhi, “Keep this storybook safe.”

The next time she met Xiao Rongyan, she must let him take a good look at this story; it was truly intricate.

“Yes!” Chun Zhi, looking at her lady with a half-smiling, half-not expression, felt a bit aggrieved and carefully put the storybook away. She didn’t know whether to hate that Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom or not, after all, he brought troops to relieve the predicament at Jiangzi City.

But how could Chun Zhi not know what kind of person their lady was? Lady had deep feelings for her deceased husband, otherwise, she wouldn’t have married him when he was critically ill.

If it weren’t for the Ninth Prince saying something or expressing something to the lady, even if he was a lifesaver, the lady would never have stayed by that Ninth Prince’s side without regard for anything else.

What should be done now? Their master had just passed away not long ago, the lady was still pregnant, and it was all because of that damn Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom. He had already arranged a marriage with Meng Zhaorong, so why did he have to take advantage when the lady was heartbroken after her husband just passed away!

“Miss, our people have not returned. They are still outside the city and have sent a letter via the gatekeeping soldiers, saying… it seems the madam who came to our store today has significant connections. Our people followed out of Feng County, and when they reached Tianmen Pass, they dared not follow any further. But from a distance, that important pass, never mind what the servant said, it just opened!” Meng Zhaorong’s maid hastily handed the letter with the text revealed to her lady, “That was Tianmen Pass! It opened for that madam! Miss… what identity do you think that madam must have.”

Meng Zhaorong, with her long hair resting on her shoulders, took the letter and carefully read it, her eyes lowering as she recalled the scene when she met Bai Qingyan today, and then thought of the man beside Bai Qingyan who was missing a finger.

Her palms suddenly tightened, an eunuch!

Indeed, that man, despite trying hard to hide it, seemed to exhibit the standard etiquette of palace eunuchs.

So… that noble lady with unmatched grace and extraordinary beauty, pregnant, should be the Emperor of Zhou?!

Meng Zhaorong raised her head, indeed, what she thought suddenly came true.

Therefore, she didn’t want to give up on the Ninth Prince.

Since she couldn’t give up, she had to escape first. If she was lucky enough to see the Emperor of Zhou, and the Emperor retreated willingly, she’d then go seek the Ninth Prince. With such determination, the Ninth Prince would surely look at her differently.

“That lady could hardly be an ordinary housewife; she is… the Emperor of Zhou!” said Meng Zhaorong.

Meng Zhaorong’s personal maid widened her eyes in shock. She naturally knew Meng Zhaorong’s plan, if she could see the Emperor of Zhou, that would be best, if not…she’d go directly to the Ninth Prince.

The maid hurriedly said, “Miss, now that the Emperor of Zhou has entered Tianmen Pass, she must be heading back. Do you want to meet her? Since the Emperor of Zhou is in casual attire, it should be easier to meet than you previously anticipated. Are you planning to meet the Emperor of Zhou tomorrow or wait a couple of days to shake off Cui Fengnian’s people and go directly to find the Ninth Prince?”

“Even if we want to leave now, the city gates of Feng County and Tianmen Pass are already closed. I’m not the Emperor of Zhou; the gates won’t open for me.” Meng Zhaorong looked up at her maid, “However, we can start preparing, and tomorrow morning… leave as soon as the gates open! Tonight, take the Hidden Guards my mother gave, and act cautiously.”

“Yes!” The maid responded, then suddenly thought of Cui Fengnian and whispered to Meng Zhaorong, “But Miss, Mr. Cui arranged so much for you, and this store, if we just leave, won’t Mr. Cui worry?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll leave a letter, saying I don’t want to implicate him.” Meng Zhaorong muttered softly while staring at the gently flickering candlelight, “I really do not want to involve him; he… is genuinely kind to me, and I know it!”
