The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1245: sloppy
Chapter 1245: Careless
Just like…if a relative she cared about had arranged for a spy to be sent around her, she would definitely accept it calmly.
At this time he sent Yue Shi to deliver a letter to her. Yue Shi did not bring back the letter, but instead brought back her anger, which was what Queen Dowager Yan wanted to see.
Yue Shi was a child who could not hide her thoughts. If she told Yue Shi everything, she was afraid that Yue Shi would go back happily and would arouse the suspicion of the spies arranged by Queen Mother Yan to be beside Xiao Rongyan.
The most important result that Queen Mother Yan wanted was… that she and Xiao Rongyan would turn against each other. At this time, Murong Li would propose the strategy of merging the two countries, and Murong Yan would pretend to oppose it. Only then would Queen Mother Yan give Xiao Rongyan the greatest trust in the matter of merging the two countries.
Although there were officials in the Yan court who were dissatisfied with the Great Zhou, not many people actually deployed troops on the Yan border or dared to support Yan in fighting the Great Zhou. After all, there was still a gap in strength between the two countries.
What’s more, this time, it was Yan State that made the mistake first. When the alliance between the two countries was still in place, it betrayed the Great Zhou, causing heavy losses to the Great Zhou and the capture of the Zhou emperor’s brother and sister alive. Then the Zhou emperor was so angry that he even went mad and ignored his children and himself. It can be seen that he was determined to destroy Xiliang and Yan State.
The more determined the Great Zhou is to fight the State of Yan, the more the Yan court will tend to seek peace.
Dong was not confused by Bai Qingyan’s words. She nodded to show that she understood: “But… if that’s the case, why do you really need to leave the palace and go to Xiliang? Spread the news… let Xiliang and Yan State think that you have gone!”
“There are many spies from Xiliang and Yan in this capital city.” Bai Qingyan gently held her mother’s hand, “If you want to put on a good show, you have to do it in full, so this daughter of the capital city must go out, and only in this way can we attract the spies of the capital city to take action!”
“you……”
Just as Dong was about to persuade him, Bai Qingyan continued speaking.
“Others don’t know Ayan’s identity, but mother knows it!” Bai Qingyan whispered Xiao Rongyan’s name, with tears in his eyes. “When Jiangzi City was besieged, Ayan gave up the opportunity of Yan State to attack Yunjing first. He was seriously injured and worked day and night with a high fever to save me. He once asked me… When I was besieged in Jiangzi City, did I ever think for a moment that I was still pregnant with our child? He said… If something happened to me and the child, he would not be able to survive. I believe in mother!”
When Mrs. Dong heard this, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
She also couldn’t forget… A Yan said that she didn’t care about him that much, and that if he and his younger brother and sister were trapped at the same time, their lives would be in danger. He asked her to save his brother, saying that this was his choice and request because… he didn’t want to be the one abandoned by her!
“Mother, Ayan is my husband and my family member. His words broke my heart and made me feel sad! I never knew that a proud man like Ayan would become like this because of me! From that day on, I swore that for Ayan… I would never risk the safety of myself and my children in the future!” She looked at her mother and couldn’t help but shed tears. “So mother, don’t worry. I will go south after leaving the capital, and I will change carriages when I reach the next city. I will stay in the Bai Mansion to recuperate after my baby’s birth, and let Lupin and the others continue to move forward with the carriage.”
When Bai Qingyan learned that the life and death records of Ayu and Xiaoqi were clear, she was really furious. She wanted to save Ayu and Xiaoqi and to conquer Xiliang! She even had the idea of trapping the main force of Yan State and letting the Great Zhou Army drive directly to Yandu and destroy Yan State, but she knew in her heart that it was irrational and not a wise move!
Beating… is the last resort. Beating can be used as a last resort, but it must never be the first choice.
Moreover, even if Queen Dowager Yan was the only one who made a mistake, A Yan and Murong Li were the ones who tried their best to promote the merger of the two countries. Bai Qingyan would not really vent his anger on A Yan and Murong Li.
After reading Xiao Rongyan’s letter, she knew that Bai Qingyu had taken advantage of the situation and that her life or death was not unknown, and that Xiao Qi might have been captured and taken to Yunjing. She then felt relieved and quickly responded according to the previous arrangement, getting angry at Yue Shi… and letting Queen Mother Yan see what she wanted to see most.
Mrs. Dong used a handkerchief to wipe Bai Qingyan’s tears: “Alright! Mother knows! Don’t cry! You just gave birth to a child! Don’t worry… Mother will ask Butler Hao to make arrangements so that you can have a good confinement at home! Don’t worry about Ayu and Xiaoqi, Aqi and Jinxiu are all taught by your grandfather and uncle, and they will definitely save Ayu and Xiaoqi!”
Bai Qingyan nodded. She not only believed in Aqi, Jinxiu, Ajue, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, but she also believed in her husband Xiao Rongyan.
A Yan knew how important her younger brother and sister were to her, so she believed… A Yan would definitely rescue her younger brother and sister.

On the tenth day of March in the second year of Yuanhe, the Emperor of the Great Zhou gave birth to an heir. When the prince and princess were born, there was an auspicious scene, with purple and golden clouds flowing and the sky full of rosy clouds.
Knowing that Her Majesty had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the ministers entered the palace and waited in the front hall, waiting for the Queen Mother to come and announce the good news.
But when the ministers entered the palace, they learned that their emperor, who had just given birth, had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, and that the team heading to Southern Xinjiang was about to set off for Xiliang as soon as they were ready. They were immediately shocked.
The clever minister guessed that Bai Qingyan was going to southern Xinjiang right after giving birth because of the war report sent from Xiliang.
The life and death of the fifth son and seventh daughter of the Bai family were unknown, so their Majesty did not want to delay for a moment and headed to Xiliang immediately.
When Lu Jin heard that Bai Qingyan had just given birth, he sent someone to Xiliang at full speed to tell the story of Bai Qingyan’s premature birth due to the disappearance of the fifth son and seventh daughter of the Bai family, and that she would leave for Xiliang immediately after giving birth. Lu Jin guessed what Bai Qingyan meant.
Xiliang captured the Fifth Young Master and the Seventh Young Lady. The more nervous she, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, was about this matter, the more Xiliang would try her best to keep these two bargaining chips.
After a while, Lu Jin heard that Bai Qingyan ordered the deployment of troops to the border of Yan State, and issued an order… If there were any unusual movements in Yan State, there was no need to ask for permission, and they should march straight to Yandu. He also scolded the person sent by the Ninth Prince of Yan State to deliver the letter out of the palace.
He sensed something was amiss, and rubbed his hands within the wide-sleeved official uniform, feeling that there was something odd about this matter.
Lu Jin had some understanding of what kind of person the Emperor of their Great Zhou was. He would not make such a hasty decision just because he was furious. What was the deeper meaning behind this?
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the sense of impending war with the State of Yan became more and more imminent.
Wei Bugong, the Minister of Revenue, was worried. He stood beside Lu Jin, with his hands folded in his sleeves like Lu Jin, his brows furrowed, and he was calculating the grain and silver in the national treasury.
Second update, continue to ask for monthly tickets…
