Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1234

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1229: Obvious

In the letter, Xiao Rongyan didn’t mention a word... about how to deal with Meng Zhaorong, who was mistaken as a spy by the Tianmen Pass commander and captured, clearly not intending to intervene.

Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan’s letter, and the further she read, the more the smile in her eyes faded. Although Xiao Rongyan wrote only a few lines, Bai Qingyan knew that he was previously caught off guard by his sister-in-law’s defenses, and though he seemed accustomed now, he surely felt extremely distressed.

Xiao Rongyan was originally skilled at calculating human emotions, but judging from his actions with Murong Yu and Murong Li, he was someone who wouldn’t use such tactics on his family. Yet... this time, he was forced to manipulate his sister-in-law’s heart.

What kind of person is Murong Yu to marry such a soft-eared Empress.

He left the edict, allowing Xiao Rongyan and Empress Dowager Yan to assist Murong Li, really not fearing that Empress Yan would hinder Murong Li?

What Bai Qingyan didn’t know was that the position of Emperor Yan was originally Xiao Rongyan’s. Xiao Rongyan falsified his imperial brother’s edict to let Murong Li ascend to the throne, because he was thinking of his sister-in-law, afraid she would be burdened by longing for her brother and thus added Empress Dowager Yan into the fake edict.

Actually, even if Xiao Rongyan didn’t explain these things in the letter, she could understand them.

After all, Empress Dowager Yan knew Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan were married and knew about their child; Xiao Rongyan had to appease Empress Dowager Yan, otherwise... Empress Dowager Yan would constantly guard against Xiao Rongyan, and the already divided Yan Kingdom would further splinter into a faction loyal to the Regent Prince and a faction loyal to the Empress Dowager.

This is something neither Xiao Rongyan, as Regent Prince or as Murong Li’s uncle, wishes to see.

However, when the matter of merging the two countries is finalized with no room for negotiation, the ministers of the Yan Kingdom, regardless of their faction, whether the Empress Dowager’s or the Regent Prince’s, will likely unite in building the Yan Kingdom!

Because Bai Qingyan was pregnant, the journey was taken slowly, so by the time they arrived at Baiwo City, it was already the third day of March.

Military reports were continuously delivered to her hands by fast horses, and today’s news... both the Yan Kingdom and Zhou had reached outside Yunjing City, waiting for the final battle.

Bai Qingyan estimated that by the time she returned to Dadu City, it would be clear who would prevail in Yunjing, and afterwards, the matter of merging the two countries would begin.

Bai Qingyan needed to first communicate with trusted ministers on this matter before Murong Li could send delegates to Dadu City; Bai Qingyan felt it was best to first communicate with Commandant Lu; the matter should not be discussed with others.

It’s not that Bai Qingyan didn’t trust Shen Jingzhong and her uncle Dong Qingping; it’s just that before the matter is finalized, the fewer people know, the better.

It was already dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was ablaze with a brilliant red glow, full of golden-purple hues.

On the official road outside Baiwo City, carts and horses laden with cargo continued in a stream, with travelers bustling about, the copper bells on passing horses endless in their ringing.

She lifted the carriage curtain to glance outside; on both sides of the busy official road, the trees showed signs of budding, sprouting small patches of green.

She recalled Xiao Rongyan once said he wanted to settle in Baiwo City once peace prevailed, and her liking for Baiwo City inexplicably grew.

After a moment, she called, "Wei Zhong..."

"Young Miss!" Wei Zhong approached, holding the reins, close to the carriage window, "What do you need from me, young miss?"

"After we leave, have someone stay behind in Baiwo City and look for a suitable house to purchase," Bai Qingyan said.

Wei Zhong hesitated momentarily, then asked hurriedly, "Forgive my impudence, young miss, but what is the purpose of buying the house? Knowing this will allow the person purchasing the house to make the right decisions without ruining the task."
