Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1054: Danger

It’s a pity that Bai Qingyan knows too little about the Tianfeng Kingdom, and in her previous life, she never had direct contact with them, nor did she cross paths with them. Therefore, meeting the Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom to probe his ambitions and observe the Elephant Army is very necessary.

Bai Qingyan ordered Commandant Lu and her uncle, Minister Dong, to stay in Dadu City to oversee the situation. Besides, just as a precaution, Bai Qingyan left a decree stating that if anything unexpected happened to her, her younger brother Bai Qingyu would inherit the throne.

Although the Tianfeng Kingdom does not dare to make trouble during this visit, it’s always good to have a backup plan.

It was only at this moment that Commandant Lu, Minister Shen, and Uncle Dong Qingping realized that Bai Qingyu was actually alive and had long controlled the Rong!

"I see! I was wondering why the Rong suddenly surrendered to Zhou. So... it was Fifth Young Master Bai!" Shen Jingzhong exclaimed in realization.

Dong Qingping’s lips trembled silently for a while, his eyes naturally turned red. He turned his head and dabbed the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, continuously nodding with a smile, trying hard to keep his eyes wide open, fearing that he might involuntarily shed tears.

The nephew coming back to life, how could Dong Qingping not be happy?

"A Yu should be escorting the King of Rong back soon, so while I’m away... if Commandant Lu and my uncle have any uncertainties, they can consult with A Yu," Bai Qingyan said.

"Alright! Then the old minister, Minister Dong, and Fifth Young Master will await Your Majesty’s safe return in Dadu City," Commandant Lu responded.

The news of Bai Qingyan’s trip to Pingyang City reached the harem, and several aunts couldn’t sit still, promptly heading to Mrs. Dong’s palace.

"Sister-in-law, you must persuade Kid!" Third Lady Mrs. Li frowned and said, "If Kid wasn’t pregnant, it would be fine. But now that she’s pregnant, how can she handle the fatigue of travel? If anything were to happen, we wouldn’t even have time to cry!"

"Indeed, sister-in-law, although Kid has stabilized her pregnancy, and the baby is in excellent condition without any issues, traveling to Pingyang City and back could bring trouble on the journey!" Second Lady Mrs. Liu was also anxious, "Sister-in-law, we must persuade Kid! This is her first pregnancy, she might not know what’s important, we have to watch over her!"

Fourth Lady Mrs. Wang nodded approvingly.

"Kid has always been weak, our whole family is worried about her pregnancy, Sister-in-law, you really can’t let Kid go to Pingyang City!" Fourth Lady Mrs. Wang repeatedly rubbed the Buddha beads in her hand, "Once I heard Kid was going to Pingyang City, my heart was terribly anxious. It’s almost winter... if there’s a heavy snowfall, what shall we do?"

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, don’t worry too much!" Fifth Lady Mrs. Qi entered, leaning on the maid, paid respect to Mrs. Dong and several sisters-in-law, and then sat down, "Kid is not an ordinary girl, she is the Emperor of Zhou. Even the always steady Commandant Lu said Kid must go, there must be a reason for her to go, and Commandant Lu isn’t someone who doesn’t understand priorities!"

Fifth Lady Mrs. Qi saw Mrs. Dong patting second sister-in-law Mrs. Liu’s hand to calm a face of anxiety and then smiled at third sister-in-law Mrs. Li and fourth sister-in-law Mrs. Wang, "Matters of the royal court we have not participated in and do not know, we can’t help but certainly shouldn’t hold back the child."

Mrs. Liu originally wanted to say congratulations, but it felt like something was stuck in her throat, couldn’t say it, nor did she want to dampen the mood by asking Bai Qingyan for news of the second branch’s children.

Mrs. Liu felt God wouldn’t be so cruel; it’s unreasonable for the other four branches’ children to return but none of hers!

Bai Qingyan looked at Mrs. Liu, clutching the handkerchief tightly, knowing maybe the hope is slim, but... to live is to always have a bit of hope.

"Second aunt, I will never stop searching for our family, as long as we haven’t seen bodies... there’s always a chance," Bai Qingyan said to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu, who was originally holding back her tears, couldn’t hold them back upon hearing this. She nodded, choked up, "I know! I know! The living ones in our family... will never give up searching! Aunt knows!"

The aunts sat for a while before leaving one after another. The joyous news of Bai Qingyu’s return overshadowed the worries of Bai Qingyan’s trip to Pingyang City while pregnant.

After informing Mrs. Dong about the matters following her trip to Pingyang City, Bai Qingyan hoped her mother would hold court from behind the screen, preside over government affairs, and stabilize the situation in her absence.

Mrs. Dong nodded, gripping Bai Qingyan’s hand tightly, "Don’t worry, Dadu City is guarded by your mother, with Commandant Lu and your uncle, you needn’t worry, focus on dealing with the people of Tianfeng Kingdom! Although I am in the harem, I heard that Tianfeng Kingdom has long started learning the common languages and writings of nations, showing their ambitions! However... you must give your mother the real bottom line, is there any danger in your trip?"
