Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1239

Chapter 1239 -1234: Auspicious Sign

In the dead of night at the Bai family, at the brink of the abyss, Bai Qingyan not only protected the Bai family but also gained the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Even now, when Shen Jingzhong recalls those earth-shattering events of Bai Qingyan’s past, he still feels an overwhelming shock within his heart.

As Shen Jingzhong returned to his senses, he saw Commandant Lu hurriedly turning around with his official robe in hand, and he quickly raised his voice to ask, “Commandant Lu, where are you going?”

“Drafting an imperial decree! Returning to the manor, convening the Minister of Revenue to properly discuss the matter of provisions!” Commandant Lu did not look back.

The troops have yet to move, but the provisions come first; this is a fixed principle.

Whether Bai Qingyan’s mobilization of troops to the border with the Yan Kingdom is genuinely to engage in battle or merely to scare Yan, they must be fully prepared.

At this moment, Bai Qingyan is injured and giving birth, hovering at the gates of hell; it’s not the time for these ministers to argue over right and wrong with Bai Qingyan.

Moreover, Bai Qingyan is the Emperor of Zhou, and when the Emperor speaks, there is absolutely no turning back. Commandant Lu, having earned Bai Qingyan’s respect and secured his position as Commandant, must assist Bai Qingyan in alleviating burdens!

Furthermore, as Wei Zhong said, even when the Bai family’s life and death hung in the balance, never did Bai Qingyan lose composure due to anger and make a wrong decision. He trusts the Emperor he serves.

Now, the entire Imperial Court’s eyes are fixed on Bai Qingyan’s belly, regarding whether Bai Qingyan will have a boy or a girl… Most ministers are not too concerned, after all, Bai Qingyan is the Empress, even if she gives birth to a princess, she can still be a crown princess, what concerns the court officials is Bai Qingyan’s premature birth, whether she can give birth safely.

In those days, countless officials were moved by Bai Qingyan’s determined declaration to unify the world as she ascended the throne…

Take the position of Vice Minister, for instance; being Vice Minister of Zhou and being Vice Minister of the entire world might be the same rank, but practically, they are different.

Most officials are intelligent people, and intelligent people all understand that if something goes wrong with Bai Qingyan’s delivery this time, the hope of unifying the world, which Zhou has just glimpsed, might shatter, and then in their lifetime… they might never witness the unification of the territories.

However, they are still alive. Serving in the court, they all want to exert every effort, to witness personally the unification of Zhou!

Madam Dong, who has been staying at the Dong Mansion in Dadu City, could no longer sit still and kneeled in front of the Buddhist altar, continuously moving the prayer beads.

Originally, her daughter-in-law Mrs. Song came to see Madam Dong, intending to enter the palace to have a look, but Madam Dong did not want to create trouble in the palace, so she stayed in the mansion to pray for Bai Qingyan.

This kneeling, Madam Dong did it the entire night, and the nanny at her side did not dare to advise against it, only kneeling with Madam Dong.

With her mother-in-law not resting, Mrs. Song was also anxious throughout the night, drinking cup after cup of strong tea, pacing uneasily in the front hall waiting for news from Dong Qingping.

Even Dong Tingzhen, who was preparing for an exam, was restless, coming to the front hall every hour to ask whether there was any news from the palace to her mother.

The first rays of the sun leapt out from the layered clouds, golden light illuminating the golden tiled eaves of the Imperial Palace in Dadu City… Lotus bases and red pillars sparkled as the clouds brightened with morning glow. Many citizens climbed high to gaze eastward, wondering why such celestial phenomena appeared today.

Officials from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau also rushed onto the towering majestic platform, seeing the auspicious omen of purple-gold flowing clouds in the east, instantly thought of Bai Qingyan, who was giving birth within the palace.

“A good omen! This is a great good omen!” An official from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau loudly declared, “This is the omen of the birth of a wise ruler!”

Within the palace.
