Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003 -998: Just as intended

After raising his head, Li Zhijie slowly spoke: “In that case, I shall wait for Zhou’s envoy to return to Dadu City, and then bid farewell to Your Majesty!”

With a faint smile, she nodded: “Alright…”

Chun Tao looked at Li Zhijie’s back, rubbing her hands continuously, appearing somewhat anxious.

It wasn’t until Li Zhijie stepped out of the grand hall, his figure completely vanishing from sight, that Bai Qingyan asked: “What’s the matter?”

Chun Tao hurriedly said to Bai Qingyan: “Miss, Mr. Xiao is here, asking to see you.”

In Chun Tao’s view, although Xiao Rongyan had helped the Bai family several times in difficult situations, he often acted too boldly, like a rogue who would dare to intrude into their lady’s boudoir.

However, Chun Tao had heard that it seems Miss had already gotten engaged to this Mr. Xiao, though she didn’t know if it was true. She had been abiding by the academy’s rules these days and hadn’t had the chance to ask Miss.

Chun Tao was a bit anxious, now that Miss had ascended the throne as emperor. If she truly was fond of Mr. Xiao, they should marry soon to avoid rumors.

Bai Qingyan hesitated for a moment, nodded, straightened up, adjusted her sleeves, and said: “Invite Mr. Xiao in.”

Chun Tao invited Xiao Rongyan into the hall, and just as she was about to follow, Wei Zhong stopped her: “Miss Chun Tao, we servants should not go in.”

When Chun Tao first arrived at the palace, Nanny Tong had instructed her that she was unfamiliar with palace rules and should assist Miss in everything, listening to Wei Zhong. Seeing the hall doors being closed by four young eunuchs, Chun Tao, though anxious, still nodded and stayed outside the door with Wei Zhong.

Inside the grand hall.

Bai Qingyan sat rigidly upright, watching as Xiao Rongyan, dressed in a frost-colored robe with a white jade belt, walked in from outside the hall and respectfully saluted her. Picking up a teacup, she spoke: “Sit!” 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

“Have you reached a consensus with Li Zhijie? Does he prefer to surrender to Zhou or to Yan?” Xiao Rongyan lifted his robes and walked toward Bai Qingyan.

“He is likely more inclined to negotiate with Rong, to ally with Rong against Zhou and the Yan Kingdom.” Bai Qingyan placed down the teacup.

Xiao Rongyan uncovered the matter of the ghost-masked prince of Rong being part of the Bai family; Xiao Rongyan planned to expose this in front of Li Zhijie and sent Yue Shi into the palace with a letter to Bai Qingyan.

At that time, Xiao Rongyan had already set things in motion.

Bai Qingyan was momentarily angry but quickly calmed herself. Getting angry was futile; she needed to quickly devise strategies and backup plans, consider how to turn the tide, and transform this situation into one beneficial for Zhou.
