Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178: Chapter 1172: Follow Your Heart

Bai Jinse is still young, and Bai Qingyan doesn’t want to pressure Xiao Qi too much, after all... In Bai Qingyan’s view, Xiao Qi may not be a general skilled in charging into battle in the future, but is certain to be an expert in deploying troops and devising strategies.

Bai Qingyan then turned to look at Bai Jinse, her gaze gentle.

Bai Jinse’s palm tightened. Seeing her brother and sister looking at her, she thought they were worried because she almost got hit by a crossbow on the battlefield. She pursed her lips and carefully asked, "Eldest Sister, Xiao Qi... wants to go to the next city with Fifth Brother, is that okay?"

"Of course!" Bai Qingyan nodded with a smile, "Xiao Qi is clever and will surely provide strategies for your Fifth Brother. Eldest Sister will be waiting in Dadu City with Mother and the aunts... Xiao Ba, awaiting your triumphant return!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinse smiled and nodded vigorously, "Xiao Qi will not disappoint Eldest Sister, Mother, and the aunts! And Xiao Ba!"

Bai Qingyan laughed, rubbed Bai Jinse’s head, and set aside her teacup: "In that case, prepare yourselves! Once I send you off... After settling Yecheng Pass, I will set off back to Dadu City, awaiting your return!"

"Eldest Sister, rest assured!" Bai Qingqi, standing with hands behind his back, nodded.

Doctor Hong, waiting at the door, saw Bai Qingyan come out, and his white beard was almost curling to the sky. He greeted Bai Qingyan with anger.

"Doctor Hong..." Bai Qingyan smiled at Doctor Hong and quickly bowed deeply to him, "I apologize for worrying you, it’s my fault!"

Bai Qingyu stood behind Bai Qingyan, holding back laughter, clenched his fist and cleared his throat: "Doctor Hong... Elder Sister hasn’t slept in a long time and she’s injured, please examine her pulse carefully."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Hong’s expression changed slightly: "Wasn’t it just some minor scratches on the face? Where else is she hurt? Quickly, quickly... Move to the side room!"

Bai Qingyan dutifully followed Doctor Hong into the side room, cooperatively allowing him to examine her pulse and helping as Doctor Hong applied medicine and bandaged her facial wounds.

"Miss..." Doctor Hong sat opposite Bai Qingyan, tidying up his medicine box while earnestly advising, "Even if not for your own sake, you must consider the child in your womb..."

"Is something wrong with the child?" Bai Qingyan’s spine immediately stiffened as she guarded her abdomen with her hand, "But... I haven’t felt anything amiss."

"If Miss waits until she feels something’s wrong, it will be too late!" Doctor Hong exhaled a long breath in anger, "Miss cannot rely on the child being clever and obedient, can’t treat yourself as you did in the past."

Bai Qingyan nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Doctor Hong, I will not participate in the next few large battles, and after settling Yecheng Pass, I will leave for Dadu City. I also wish to discuss with Doctor Hong, whether he will return to Dadu, or stay... to join A Yu in advancing into Yunjing to take a look?"

Actually, Bai Qingyan already had an answer in her heart. Doctor Hong’s spirit was not old; when her grandfather was still alive, he once said... he hoped that one day, her grandfather could lead the Bai family army into Yunjing, so he could see what Xiliang’s capital looked like.

Moreover, with Doctor Hong, Bai Qingyan could feel assured about her brothers and sisters on the Xiliang battlefield. She only worried that the marching speed was too fast; Doctor Hong, after all, was elderly and feared he wouldn’t withstand the strain.

Doctor Hong hesitated, as a member of the Bai family army... he very much wanted to enter Yunjing with them, but also worried about Bai Qingqi and Bai Qingyu, as the battlefield was ruthless. If they were injured without a good doctor nearby, it would be very dangerous.

However, Bai Qingyan was pregnant; although the fetal sign was very good, childbirth was akin to stepping into a ghost gate. How could Doctor Hong feel at ease?

Bai Qingyan gently stroked her abdomen: "Doctor Hong does not need to worry about me and the child. In Dadu City, Doctor Huang, your junior, is there, and... as you said, this child in my womb is clever and understanding and will surely be safely born."
