The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1371: take care of
Chapter 1371 Custody
“Uncle Hao, I understand. Don’t worry!” Bai Qingyan said with a smile, “I’ll leave first…”
“Hey! Miss, slow down…” Butler Hao stood at the door and watched Bai Qingyan get on the carriage until even the dust raised by the carriage could no longer be seen. Then he turned around and went back to the Bai Mansion. He cheered up and prepared to renovate the Bai Mansion and welcome the young masters Bai Qingyu, Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingjue and Bai Qingyun.

In the carriage, Chuntao gently fanned Bai Qingyan with a round fan and whispered, “It seems that General Gao is getting better. Miss can rest assured now.”
“Yes…” Bai Qingyan responded with a smile, “When Jinxiu comes back and sees General Gao, she will definitely be happy!”
“It’s a pity that the Second Master will never come back.” Chunzhi said in a low voice, then realized that she was afraid of making Bai Qingyan sad, so she turned around and lifted the veil of the car window to look outside, “Young lady, look… on such a hot day, our capital city is still so lively and bustling with people coming and going. This is all because of the young lady’s good governance.”
“Our Chunzhi has also learned to flatter!” Although Bai Qingyan said this, his eyes couldn’t help but look through the narrow window opened by Chunzhi at the bustling crowd on the street.
Suddenly, a man with a Da Zhou man’s hair in a bun and a jade pipe on his head walked past the carriage. Bai Qingyan’s eyes suddenly tightened…
Sar Khan?!
“Stop the car!” Bai Qingyan’s smile faded, “Wei Zhong!”
Wei Zhong responded, and quickly ordered the driver to pull the reins and jumped off the carriage, and walked to the carriage window: “Young lady…”
Bai Qingyan opened the curtains with her jade-white fingers and whispered a few words to Wei Zhong, who immediately responded, “Yes! Don’t worry, young lady!”
Bai Qingyan rolled down the window, and after Wei Zhonggong saw the carriage off, he also left.
“Miss…what’s wrong?” Chuntao could clearly see that her eldest daughter’s expression was not right, and her eyes were full of murderous intent.
She really didn’t expect that Sar Khan had already made it to the capital…
Aqi, Ayu, Jinxiu and others are in southern Xinjiang, so it is impossible for them to let Sar Khan come over. So… Sar Khan discovered the river that Jintong discovered and came around from there.
Bai Qingyan tapped the table inside the carriage with his fingers and said to the coachman outside, “Drive the carriage to the back alley.”
Soon, the coachman drove the carriage to the back alley.
“Where are the Bai family’s secret guards?” Bai Qingyan asked.
Soon, the carriage curtains were seen shaking, and several figures were already kneeling outside the carriage: “Miss, please give me your orders!”
“Xingchen went to southern Xinjiang. Who is leading your team now?” Bai Qingyan raised his hand and opened a gap in the curtain of the carriage.
“Your subordinate Wei Su!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Wei Su and said, “Take half of the people to catch up with Eunuch Wei. If the person Eunuch Wei wants to capture resists, there is no need to spare his life. Just kill him on the spot! The other half will go to the Emperor’s mausoleum to see if there is anything unusual.”
“yes!”
“Send someone to Hancheng Palace immediately and ask King Hancheng to set out immediately…to defend the coastal area. Tell him to not only defend against Dongyi Kingdom, but also against Tianfeng Kingdom entering from the coast!”
Bai Qingyan lowered the carriage curtains and said to the coachman, “Let’s go back to the palace!”
The carriage started moving again. Chuntao and Chunzhi sat obediently beside Bai Qingyan without saying a word, so as not to disturb Bai Qingyan who was thinking quietly with his eyes lowered.
Coming to the capital city without making any noise, this is truly… a great power.
Bai Qingyan’s palms tightened. Now that the Great Zhou and Yan were about to go to war, the monarch of Tianfeng appeared in the capital of the Great Zhou. What did Sar Khan want to do?
After Bai Qingyan returned to the palace, he first sent a fast horse to deliver a letter to Qin Lang who was far away in Hancheng. He also gave Qin Lang the map that Bai Jintong had sent back before, asking Qin Lang to be on guard. He also wrote a letter to his brothers and sisters in southern Xinjiang, informing them that Sar Khan had arrived in the capital city so that they could also be prepared.
While Bai Qingyan was reviewing the memorial, Wei Zhong had already dealt with Sar Khan’s affairs and returned to the palace to report to Bai Qingyan: “Including Sar Khan, all thirteen people in the group were thrown into prison. However, Sar Khan did not resist, so I’m afraid it won’t be long before he reveals his identity and asks to see Your Majesty.”
As soon as Wei Zhong finished speaking, a young eunuch came to report that the Jingzhao Yin wanted to see him.
Bai Qingyan chuckled and said, “Isn’t he already in a hurry to reveal his identity?”
Wei Zhong nodded and said, “Your Majesty, do you want to make an announcement?”
“Read it!” Bai Qingyan closed the letter and motioned Chuntao to bring another one over.
Chuntao, who was kneeling beside Bai Qingyan, quickly unfolded the memorial and handed it to Bai Qingyan, then knelt obediently on the side without saying a word.
As soon as Jingzhao Yin came in, he bowed deeply and said, “Your Majesty, today I was ordered by Eunuch Wei to arrest a man in prison. He said he was the king of Tianfeng Country and that Your Majesty was an old acquaintance. He handed this thing to me and said that Your Majesty would understand it at a glance. That’s why I dared to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty!”
As he spoke, Jingzhao Yin raised the jade cicada above his head.
Wei Zhong glanced at Bai Qingyan, who was still looking down at the memorials, and walked to Jingzhao Yin holding the hem of his clothes. He took the jade cicada and handed it to Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty…”
Bai Qingyan wrote the last word and casually put the memorial aside. Her eyes fell on the jade cicada in Wei Zhong’s hand. Then she put the jade pen on the inkstone. She took the jade cicada and looked at it carefully. She asked Wei Zhong, “Wei Zhong, were you seen arresting people?”
“I did not show up, and I am sure no one saw me.” Wei Zhong replied quickly.
Bai Qingyan brought the jade cicada closer to the glass lamp on the table, wanting to take a closer look at the patterns inside the jade cicada, but this jade cicada was as transparent as the one Xiao Rongyan gave her, without any impurities.
Chuntao saw the jade cicada and opened her eyes wide…
Isn’t this jade cicada owned by my son-in-law? How did it end up in the hands of Sar Khan, the king of Tianfeng Kingdom?
Isn’t their son-in-law the Ninth Prince of Yan State? How come there is another King of Tianfeng State?
Chuntao was busy with the lawsuit and didn’t ask any questions when she saw Bai Qingyan looking at Yuchan seriously.
After Bai Qingyan confirmed that this jade cicada was the one in Sar Khan’s hand, he asked, “The person who gave you this jade cicada, besides asking you to hand it over to me, what else did he say?”
Jingzhao Yin was also a smart man. After hearing Bai Qingyan’s question, he was sure that the person who came was indeed the king of Tianfeng Kingdom, so he hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, the king of Tianfeng Kingdom said that he wanted to see Your Majesty!”
She stared at the jade cicada in her hand and said to Wei Zhong, “Wei Zhong, you go to the prison with Jingzhao Yin in person, bring the king of Tianfeng out, and let him stay in the post house for a while… and tell them to send someone to keep an eye on them, and report any unusual behavior.”
