Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 943

Chapter 943: Chapter 939: Pingan Returns to the Capital

After a moment, seeing Bai Qingyan remain silent, Prime Minister Lu, kneeling on the high steps, looked up at Bai Qingyan. He saw Bai Qingyan quietly gazing in the direction of Wude Gate, her expression calm and eyes resolute, not knowing whom she was waiting for...

Seeing this, Prime Minister Lu, fearing they would miss the auspicious time, slightly straightened and loudly entreated, "Please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne!"

"Please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne!" the officials followed loudly in unison.

Bai Qingyu, standing to the side with a mask, raised his eyes to look at his elder sister, clenching his fists slightly.

He knew... his elder sister was waiting for the Bai family members who hadn’t returned yet. She hoped that when she ascended the throne, as announced in her edict to the world, the surviving Bai family army and members could hurry back to witness this moment together.

To witness... the opening Chapter of Zhou’s unification.

Bai Jinxiu and Bai Qingjue looked back with tears in their eyes toward Wude Gate, hoping Wei Zhong could bring back the surviving Bai family members and army before the Eldest Young Lady ascended to that high position.

As time passed, the sunlight grew stronger, and Dadu City inside and out shimmered with golden brilliance.

The officials whispered among themselves, and Prime Minister Lu dared to ask Bai Qingyan to ascend the throne again.

A cool breeze brushed Bai Qingyan’s diadem and the beaded protocol lightly. Her eyes, reddened and sore, finally saw someone pushing a wheelchair coming slowly from outside the golden-shrouded Wude Gate...

Xiao Ruohai was pushing Bai Qingyun, with Xiao Ruojiang walking beside him.

"Eldest Sister!" Bai Jinzhao could no longer contain himself, suddenly stood up, and called out to Bai Qingyan, tears bursting forth instantly.

Hearing the voice, Bai Qingyan clenched her back teeth and gripped the sword hilt tightly; she saw...

She saw her ninth brother Bai Qingyun and her two brothers. She restrained the surging emotions in her heart and said to Bai Qingjue, "Ah Jue... go and meet them!"

Bai Qingyan knew that back then, her ninth brother Bai Qingyun had carved a path to survival for his elder brother Bai Qingjue. This matter weighed on Bai Qingjue’s heart like a stone. His greatest hope was for A Yun’s return.

"Yes!" Bai Qingjue responded loudly, turning and running swiftly down the high steps.

Bai Qingjue’s eyes were red; on the wheelchair was A Yun! His ninth brother A Yun, who had risked his life to save him!

The once carefree and unrestrained Bai family’s ninth son now sat in a wheelchair, his youthful arrogance gone, leaving only steadiness and composure. He looked at his elder sister in imperial robes on the high steps, tears welling up as he tightly gripped his clothes.

Already at the Sihai Pavilion on Luopan Mountain, he knew his elder sister would ascend to the throne one day and unify the land.

When he saw the edict his elder sister announced to the world... ordering the remaining Bai family members and army to return to Dadu for the enthronement ceremony, he almost couldn’t hold back his tears.

The Bai family should have been like this long ago, but Grandfather was too loyal to the Emperor to betray him.

Yet if the ruler lacked the ambition for unification, a minister whose ambitions were too grand would surely face suspicion and execution.

If the Bai family wanted to achieve unification early, they could not pin their hopes on assisting a wise ruler but rather... on becoming the sovereign themselves.

Seeing his seventh brother Bai Qingjue from afar, Bai Qingyun’s lips curved into a smile, his eyes wet with emotion.

It’s so good to see Seventh Brother is still alive!
