Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1047: Astonishment

"The eldest miss is pregnant, don’t talk too long. Let the eldest miss rest properly." After Shen Qingzhu finished speaking, he cupped his hands toward Xiao Ruojiang and left first.

Upon entering the hall, Xiao Ruojiang immediately saw the eldest miss sitting under the lamp, reading a bamboo slip.

These days, Bai Qingyan had been engrossed in the books left by Empress Ji, deeply curious about the world of freedom and equality described within. Once she picked up a book, she was reluctant to put it down.

Today Chen Qingsheng returned. To allow Chun Tao, who hadn’t seen him for years, to have a longer conversation, Bai Qingyan ordered Chun Tao to escort Chen Qingsheng out of the palace. Chun Zhi attended to Bai Qingyan and didn’t dare to urge her to rest, so he ordered someone to light all the lamps in the bedchamber, fearing it might strain her eyes.

"Chun Zhi, you leave first..." Bai Qingyan closed the bamboo slip and said to Wei Zhong, "The Yan envoy has also been waiting for a long time. Wei Zhong, please invite the Yan envoy over. I’ll just say a few words to Ruojiang."

Chun Zhi and Wei Zhong complied and left. Bai Qingyan set the bamboo slip aside and said to Xiao Ruojiang, "Brother, there is something... you need to make a trip to Hancheng as soon as possible."

"Eldest miss, just give your orders!"

Bai Qingyan took out a rough map of the Tianfeng Kingdom drawn by Xiao Ruohai. Xiao Ruojiang immediately stepped forward to receive it, examining it closely.

"You go to Hancheng and have the second young lady focus all her energy on training the naval forces while implementing the new policies. They might be of great use soon!"

With the map in hand, Xiao Ruojiang quickly understood Bai Qingyan’s intentions. Currently, Tianfeng’s Elephant Army was approaching. According to the information brought back by Xiao Ruohai and Chen Qingsheng, Tianfeng was preparing for war with all its national strength. If ever Tianfeng and Zhou go to war, they will undoubtedly go all-out!

At that time, Tianfeng’s interior would be empty. If Zhou’s navy sets sail from the coastal port, enters the Long River, and makes a surprise attack from behind Tianfeng, it will surely catch them off guard.

"Xiao Ruojiang understands!" Xiao Ruojiang was filled with fighting spirit as he put away the map. "I will set off immediately and make sure the map reaches the second young lady!"

"Thank you, brother! After delivering the message... please stay by the second young lady’s side and lend Jinxiu your support," Bai Qingyan thought for a moment and added, " leave the issue of elephants in the military to Qingzhu; no need to worry."

Xiao Ruojiang nodded but said with concern: "Eldest miss, please also take care of yourself. Now that you’re carrying twins, you must rest more. Matters on the Southern battlefield have the young master and young ladies present, no need to worry too much, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Xiao Ruojiang’s concerned eyes, she nodded: "Alright, I understand! Rest assured, brother!"

Xiao Ruojiang left the palace and, without delay, packed his things and set off for Hancheng.

As soon as Xiao Ruojiang left, Wei Zhong brought the Yan envoy stationed in Zhou to meet her.

Seeing a man dressed in the attire of an imperial eunuch of Yan, wearing a hat and bowing respectfully, his features indistinct, Bai Qingyan narrowed her eyes. Hearing the Yan envoy greet her, he said, "Your Majesty, I come on behalf of our Ninth Prince of Yan to present a birthday gift to Your Majesty, wishing the Empress of Zhou a long life."

The eunuch behind the envoy also bowed deeply to Bai Qingyan.

"Thank the Prince Yanjiu for his concern..." Bai Qingyan nodded.

"Additionally, the Ninth Prince sent a letter for Your Majesty..." The Yan envoy glanced at the eunuch behind him, signaling for the letter.

The eunuch quickly handed the letter to Wei Zhong.

"Certainly..." Wei Zhong smiled and gestured to the Yan envoy to follow. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
