The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1059: Danger
Chapter 1059 Danger
It’s a pity that Bai Qingyan knows too little about the Tianfeng Kingdom, and he has never had a direct contact with the Tianfeng Kingdom in his previous life, nor has he ever fought against it. Therefore, it is necessary to meet the monarch of the Tianfeng Kingdom, explore his ambitions, and take a look at the elephant army.
Bai Qingyan ordered General Lu and her uncle Dong Situ to stay in the capital city to take charge of the situation. In addition, just in case, Bai Qingyan left an imperial edict stating that if anything unexpected happened to her, her younger brother Bai Qingyu would inherit the throne.
Although the Tianfeng Kingdom does not dare to cause trouble this time, they still have to keep a backup plan.
It was also at this time that General Lu, Sikong Shen and his uncle Dong Qingping learned that Bai Qingyu was actually alive and had already taken control of Rongdi!
“So that’s it! I was wondering why Rongdi suddenly surrendered to the Great Zhou. Turns out… it was Master Bai Wu!” Shen Jingzhong looked enlightened.
Dong Qingping murmured his lips for a long time without making any sound, and his eyes were red. He turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, then kept smiling and nodding, trying to open his eyes wide, for fear that he would shed tears.
How could Dong Qingping not be happy that his nephew came back to life?
“Ayu should be bringing the King of Rongdi back soon, so during the time I’m away…if General Lu and my uncle have any questions, they can discuss it with Ayu.” Bai Qingyan said.
“Okay! Then this old minister, Lord Situ, and the fifth young master will wait for your majesty’s safe return in the capital city.” said General Lu.

When the news that Bai Qingyan was going to Pingyang City reached the harem, several aunts could no longer sit still and went to Dong’s palace one after another.
“Sister-in-law, you have to persuade Abao!” Third Madam Li frowned, “If Abao wasn’t pregnant, it would be fine! But how can she travel so hard while pregnant? If anything goes wrong, we won’t even have time to cry!”
“Yes, sister-in-law, although Abao is pregnant and has a good pregnancy, she is not suffering. But if she has to ride all the way to Pingyang City and then ride back, what will happen if something happens on the way!” Second Madam Liu was also very anxious. “Sister-in-law, let’s go and persuade Abao! This is her first pregnancy and we don’t know the severity of the situation. We have to be careful!”
Fourth Madam Wang nodded in agreement.
“Abao is weak to begin with. This pregnancy has made our whole family very worried. Sister-in-law really can’t let Abao go to Pingyang City!” Fourth Madam Wang kept turning the Buddhist beads in her hand. “When I heard that Abao was going to Pingyang City, I was very nervous. It’s almost winter… What if there is a heavy snow!”
“Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, don’t worry too much!” Fifth Madam Qi came in with the hand of a maid, bowed to Dong and several sisters-in-law, and sat down. “Abao is not an ordinary girl. She is the emperor of the Great Zhou. The always calm and steady Lieutenant Lu said that Abao must go, so there must be a reason for Abao to go, and Lieutenant Lu is not such a fool!”
Fifth Madam Qi saw Dong patting the hand of second sister-in-law Liu to comfort the anxious Liu, and then smiled and said to third sister-in-law Li and fourth sister-in-law Wang: “We have never participated in the affairs of the court and do not know about them. We cannot help but we must not hold the children back.”
“It’s not that serious of a hindrance!” Mrs. Dong smiled lightly, “I am also worried about Abao and the child, but as my fifth brother’s wife said, Abao is the empress of the Great Zhou. There are some things she should do… must do, and we can’t stop her. What we can do is to make more preparations, and secondly… to guard the rear for Abao.”
Bai Qingyan, who was standing in the corridor, heard what her mother and the aunts said, and a warm current surged in her heart. A very faint smile appeared between her eyebrows. She held Chuntao’s hand and walked in from outside: “Don’t worry, mother and the aunts, there will be no danger on this trip.”
Liu was about to say something, but when she thought of what her fifth brother’s wife Qi had just said about not letting the child down, she swallowed her words back, her face full of worry.
“It so happens that all the aunts are here. I came here today… to tell mother and the aunts that Ayu is about to come back.” Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Hearing this, several aunts straightened their backs suddenly, and each of them tightly grasped the armrests of the chairs, with expressions of surprise and as if they were about to cry.
“Ayu! Ayu is coming back?!” Fifth Madam Qi’s eyes reddened and she turned to look at Dong. Seeing that Dong looked surprised but not as shocked as she thought, she immediately understood that her eldest sister-in-law had known that Ayu was alive.
“Ayu is still alive?!” Liu clutched the handkerchief tightly, her heart pounding as she thought of her own child. Now… the eldest wife’s son is back, so will her child be born soon?
Liu was fine before there was no news about Ayu, but now she suddenly heard that Ayu had returned. She didn’t know why she suddenly became anxious. Now only the child from their second wife had not returned!
“That’s great! That’s great!” Mrs. Wang cried with joy and looked at Mrs. Dong, “Sister-in-law, now we have hope for the future!”
“Yes!” Third Madam Li wiped her tears with a handkerchief, “That’s great. I hope the children can all come back…”
Liu originally wanted to say something congratulating, but it was as if something was blocking her throat and she couldn’t utter the words. She also didn’t want to pour cold water on him at this time, so she asked Bai Qingyan if there was any news about the second wife’s heir.
Liu felt that God would not be so cruel to her. It didn’t make sense that the children of the other four families could all come back, but none of her children could!
Bai Qingyan looked at Liu who was clutching the handkerchief tightly. Although he knew that there might be little hope, but… one must always have a little hope in life.
“Second Aunt, I will never stop looking for our family. As long as I haven’t found the body… there will always be a chance.” Bai Qingyan said to Liu.
Liu, who had been able to hold back her tears, could no longer hold back her tears after hearing this. She choked up and nodded, “I know! I know! The living people in our family… will never give up the search! Auntie knows!”
Several aunts sat for a while and then left one after another. The good news of Bai Qingyu’s return diluted the sorrow of pregnant Bai Qingyan about going to Pingyang City.
Bai Qingyan explained to Mrs. Dong what to do after going to Pingyang City. Bai Qingyan hoped that her mother could sit behind the scenes and preside over the government affairs in her absence to stabilize the overall situation.
Dong nodded and held Bai Qingyan’s hand tightly: “Don’t worry, the capital city is guarded by my mother, and there are also General Lu and your uncle. You don’t have to worry, just focus on dealing with the people of Tianfeng Kingdom! Although my mother is in the harem, she has heard that the Tianfeng Kingdom has long begun to learn the common elegant language and writing of various countries, which shows its ambition! But… you have to tell me the truth, is there any danger for you on this trip?”
First update, sorry, I fell asleep while trying to coax the child… Please give me your monthly vote!
