Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 936

Chapter 936: Chapter 932: Applauding and Cheering

Amidst the pattering rain, Xiao Rongyan’s rich voice slowly unveils the hidden secrets of the Yan Kingdom to Bai Qingyan.

"General Tang Yi outwardly claimed to have died of an old ailment, but the truth is... the Yan Prime Minister’s faction was eager to move, wishing to support Tang Yi’s ascension, to eliminate the foolish Emperor Yan and my brother from the roots. At that time, my mother, pregnant and powerless within the harem, had no choice but to take drastic measures. General Tang Yi died from a cup of poisoned wine given to him by my mother’s own hand, causing her lifelong pain and guilt..."

"The Great General of Yan Kingdom, Ning Chuao, was actually my mother’s full brother. At that time... Emperor Yan emerged from his stupor, General Tang Yi was gone, and military power lay solely with my uncle. Yet, my uncle, to protect my mother and us, chose to surrender his military rights. Even so... Emperor Yan worried about my uncle’s high military prestige, and the ministers following Emperor Yan intended to frame my uncle for treason to ease Emperor Yan. Loyal subordinates wanted to help my uncle escape from Yan, but... for my mother, for us, my uncle ordered his subordinates to deliver his head to Emperor Yan before the Emperor’s ministers could act, exchanging... our safety!"

"When my uncle’s head was placed before Emperor Yan, my mother was in such agony she wished to end her own life, yet she persevered, with thunderous measures slaughtering the entire clans of those deceitful ministers who intended to frame my uncle!"

"Kid, to me... you are a far stronger woman than my mother; your character is similar to her, and your ambitions align! But you achieved what my mother should have but never did! Leading troops... overthrowing the Jin Dynasty, ascending as Empress! You have lived the life my brother and I wanted our mother to live!"

Xiao Rongyan spoke these words sincerely, Bai Qingyan never constrained by emotions, never compromised on determined goals, with a necessity to achieve.

He tightly clasped Bai Qingyan’s hand: "Compared to General Tang Yi who died at my mother’s hand, and compared to my uncle who willingly delivered his head to Emperor Yan to protect us mother and child, your grandmother... the Eldest Princess of the Jin Dynasty, she already knew the downfall of Jin Dynasty was inevitable, she died by her own choice to honor the Jin Kingdom of her Lin family, you did not drive your grandmother to her death! You shouldn’t torment yourself like this."

Xiao Rongyan looked deeply into Bai Qingyan’s eyes, seeing her lightly nod: "I understand what you’re saying, I understand the rationale... but grandmother was my grandmother, I will never have grandmother again... never again."

As she spoke, her nostrils flared, and tears fell from her long lashes.

When Murong Yu departed, Xiao Rongyan felt the same...

His movements were slow as he straightened up, gently enfolding Bai Qingyan in his arms, softly stroking her back. Crying out is good, crying out is a form of release.

Bai Qingyan buried her head in Xiao Rongyan’s embrace, holding back emotions, yet unable to stop the tears, her back slightly trembling.

Murong Yan tightened his arms, shielding Bai Qingyan from the cold wind coming through the never-closed window, wanting to warm Bai Qingyan even a little. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He lowered his gaze to Bai Qingyan’s crown, seeing there was gray hair, his heart clenched.

How young she is, yet there’s gray hair...

Xiao Rongyan knew he couldn’t let Bai Qingyan continue like this; he had to find a way for Bai Qingyan to sleep well.

Without showing any signs, he took out the calming balm prepared by the Imperial Physician of Yan hidden in his sleeve, warming it in his palm, gently massaging Bai Qingyan’s temples.
