Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1030

Chapter 1030: Chapter 1025: Dare Not Ask

Lu Ping cupped his fists and said to Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty, let me accompany you. If we can persuade him, that would be best. But if Sun Wenyao cannot be persuaded, take him down directly to prevent future troubles."

Lu Ping meant to give them time to meet but not the opportunity to escape. This matter must be dealt with swiftly, or else the consequences would be endless.

After all, those Imperial Family Hidden Guards never foster emotional bonds among comrades; perhaps Sun Wenyao might be killed instead when attempting to persuade a surrender.

However, Lu Ping still admired Sun Wenyao for trying to find a path for survival for comrades who hadn’t exchanged many words before.

Wei Zhong saw Sun Wenyao seemed to be pondering and smiled as he spoke to Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty, this old servant dares to ask a question of this person; may I?"

"Go ahead..."

After Wei Zhong thanked Bai Qingyan and saluted, he turned to Sun Wenyao and asked, "Do you remember the three weapons you chose in the Hidden Guard training?"

"Sword... black jade sword, and... heavenly silk." Sun Wenyao bowed his head even lower.

Wei Zhong looked at Lu Ping, who understood and stepped forward to indeed find heavenly silk at Sun Wenyao’s waist, quickly handing it over to Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan was about to reach out to take it when Wei Zhong hurriedly stopped her.

Wei Zhong used a cloth to pad his palm, cautiously received it and held it out for Bai Qingyan to see, "Your Majesty, this item is quite formidable, extremely sharp and often poisoned."

Bai Qingyan was now pregnant, so Wei Zhong was exceedingly careful with things Bai Qingyan wished to touch.

The black jade sword, though a hidden weapon, could still be found more easily than heavenly silk, which was effortless to conceal.

She glanced at the heavenly silk in Wei Zhong’s hand, indeed emitting a faint green glow.

"So, you approached Xiao Si to kill me?" Bai Qingyan asked with a smile, seemingly unafraid.

Sun Wenyao pressed his lips tightly together, neither admitting nor denying.

Lu Ping clenched his fist and said, "Whether he is or isn’t, it doesn’t matter. With me and Eunuch Wei here, he won’t touch a single hair on the eldest lady!"

Right then, Lu Ping disliked this Sun Wenyao. Originally, due to Liu Pinggao’s words, Lu Ping had some admiration for him, but using a woman’s feelings, and even using them against their fourth lady, was intolerable!

Bai Qingyan nodded, "Then it’s up to Uncle Ping to take Sun Wenyao on a trip."

After Lu Ping escorted Sun Wenyao away, Wei Zhong stored the heavenly silk and asked Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty, should anything be done about the second daughter of the Qin family?"

"Let’s keep her around for now. She’s from the Qin family. If Sun Wenyao’s people are dealt with properly, and she stays in line, this will pass. But if... she continues to make trouble, it’ll save face for Qin Lang," Bai Qingyan said, unrolling the bamboo slip at her side, not wanting to discuss the matter further.

Wei Zhong bowed to Bai Qingyan and left the main hall. He was about to have the heavenly silk disposed of when he saw the young eunuch assigned to attend Quan Yu running toward the main hall, out of breath.

Wei Zhong quickly wrapped the heavenly silk in the cloth and tucked it into his sleeve, walking a few steps toward the young eunuch. Bai Qingyan valued this young eunuch named Quan Yu highly, Wei Zhong knew.

"Eunuch Wei!" The young eunuch hurried over and bowed to Wei Zhong.

"Don’t bother with formalities. Has something happened with Quan Yu again?" Wei Zhong asked.

The young eunuch smiled, raised his head to wipe his sweat with his sleeve and said, "Eunuch Quan Yu is fine. These days, he’s been eating more and appears to have come around. He asked me to tell Eunuch Wei he wishes to see the Empress to thank her personally for saving his life."
