Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1009: Gratitude and Repayment

Here, Bai Qingyu can throw punches but must refrain from saying unnecessary words...

As a masked prince attacking Xiao Rongyan here is not without reason, one might say... In the Zhou Palace, they argued for their respective nations’ interests. Xiao Rongyan, as the fiancé of the Empress of Zhou, had the advantage, and the matter ended inconclusively due to the Empress of Zhou fainting. The Ghost Prince, unable to contain his anger, attacked Xiao Rongyan at the posthouse, which is reasonable.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingyu didn’t hesitate to strike Xiao Rongyan again. Bai Qingyu’s fist slammed into the tree, causing the leaves to rustle and fall, scattering into the water that reflected a half moon and silver moonlight, stirring countless bright and dark ripples.

Just as Xiao Rongyan narrowly avoided Bai Qingyu’s fist and was yet to find his footing, Bai Qingyu’s leg came towards his cheek. Xiao Rongyan caught sight of a shadow approaching, quickly grasped Bai Qingyu’s leg, and spoke rapidly: "Tonight Xiao Rongyan is to fall gravely ill, and then marry the Empress of Zhou. If someone sees you acting now, are you planning to associate Xiao Rongyan’s death... with the Rong?"

Chest filled with anger, Bai Qingyu understood at once how his mother and elder sister intended to handle this matter from Xiao Rongyan’s words.

Seeing others approaching out of the corner of his eye, Bai Qingyu withdrew his leg and tidied the hem of his clothes.

The servant carrying dinner saluted Bai Qingyu and Xiao Rongyan before hastily crossing the wooden arched bridge without lingering.

Once the people had left, Bai Qingyu said: "You deserve to die!"

"This matter is my fault..."

"You deserve to die!" Bai Qingyu’s tightly clenched fists trembled.

The path his sister has walked is too difficult; if this Ninth Prince of Yan truly wishes to be with his sister in heart, with complete ceremonial propriety, Bai Qingyu would not utter a word of objection! But between the two nations... a war is inevitable; how dare he!

Xiao Rongyan bowed deeply to Bai Qingyu: "Kid and I have an agreement: when peace is established, I will stay with her and the child! I hope... you can help make it happen."

Bai Qingyu clenched his fist as he approached Xiao Rongyan, lowered his voice at Xiao Rongyan’s ear, and said, "After Xiao Rongyan’s death, stay away from my sister..."

After speaking, A Yu collided heavily with Xiao Rongyan’s shoulder and left.

Xiao Rongyan watched Bai Qingyu’s departing figure, understanding his anger. Yet, the urgent matter was how to make Xiao Rongyan sick. He did not linger, lifting the hem of his clothes and made his way to the courtyard where the Yan envoys resided.

"Prince, forgive me, but I cannot agree with your words." The person pretending to be the Ninth Prince of Yan was startled as he stood up, grasping Xiao Rongyan’s hand holding the medicine bowl, and said to him, "When the prince left the country at a young age, it was difficult to set up the intelligence network for Yan, and if something happens to Xiao Rongyan..."

His voice paused and then continued: "After Xiao Rongyan marries the Empress of Zhou, all the networks in Zhou will be unusable! Not to mention, we finally opened the situation in Xiliang, and if Xiao Rongyan dies... all our previous plans and the manpower and resources invested in the Xiliang strategy would be wasted and need to restart! After all, Xiliang’s Eight Great Families only recognize Xiao Rongyan!"

Xiao Rongyan lifted his gaze to the subordinate tightly gripping his wrist and pried his hand open, voice steady: "This is an order, not a negotiation!"

Having spoken, Xiao Rongyan tilted his head and drank the medicine in one gulp.
