The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 762: inevitable
Chapter 762: Determined to Win
“I really hope to see the day when the world is at peace, and see… the people of the world can live such a stable life. Unfortunately, with my body, I am afraid I can hardly hold out until Great Yan conquers Wei.”
Bai Qingyan held the teacup in his hand and did not say anything to comfort him. He just looked out in the direction Murong Yu was looking and saw several children chasing an old man who was carrying a straw-woven insect bird on a bamboo pole. They were all shouting for which one they wanted, and the chattering was very lively.
“It is inevitable that the world will eventually unite after a long period of division. There will always be someone to do it… and there will always be someone to accomplish it. There will always be a day when all people in the world will live a stable life.” Bai Qingyan said.
As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, the guard of the Bai family hurriedly stepped onto the pleasure boat, bowed to Bai Qingyan when he entered the door, raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qingyan seriously, showing a little anxiety: “Miss…”
Bai Qingyan guessed that it was probably the report from the Daliang Army. She stood up and bowed to Murong Yu: “If Brother Yu has nothing else to do, I will take my leave now. I hope Brother Yu will return home soon and have a safe journey.”
Murong Yu stood up with the help of his hands on the table and returned the greeting to Bai Qingyan.
Although… this trip… failed to finalize the marriage of Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan, Murong Yu already knew that Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan were in love. He also knew that Bai Qingyan was a man with a broad mind, a broad mind, and an open and honest character. Murong Yu was already satisfied.
“I have one more thing to say. I hope… Ah Yan can offer me a cup of tea and call me brother.” Murong Yu’s handsome and gentle brows were all filled with a faint smile. He was afraid that he would not live to see the wedding day of Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan, and would not be able to drink the cup of tea offered by his sister-in-law.
How could Bai Qingyan not understand what Murong Yu meant? She lowered her eyes to look at the cup of tea that had been placed in front of Murong Yu and nodded.
“Thank you…” Murong Yu knelt on the spot with a smile.
Bai Qingyan picked up the cup of tea, knelt down in front of Murong Yu, and said, “Brother, please have some tea…”
Murong Yu’s smile deepened. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, nodded, and turned to look at the old eunuch Feng Yao standing behind him.
Feng Yao held a square box made of gilded copper, enameled, and inlaid with pearls and turquoise and handed it to Murong Yu respectfully.
Murong Yu took the box and handed it to Bai Qingyan with a smile: “This is what my mother left behind. My wife has one… This one is for you. I give it to you on behalf of my mother.”
Bai Qingyan understood that this was the gift left by Queen Ji for her daughter-in-law, although Bai Qingyan felt that it was inappropriate to accept such a generous gift at this time.
But Murong Yu was dying, and perhaps he really couldn’t live to see the day when she and Murong Yan would get married, so he respectfully took the treasure box with both hands.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan took the treasure box without any refusal, Murong Yu smiled even more. He stood up and helped Bai Qingyan up with both hands, and whispered: “I hope… you can all be fine!”
Some things cannot be said explicitly, it is enough for both parties to know it in their hearts.
Murong Yu hopes that Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan can live well.
“Thank you, brother!”
Murong Yu’s guards considerately handed the bundle containing the treasure box to Bai Qingyan’s guards, and asked them to wrap up the treasure box before escorting Bai Qingyan out of the houseboat.
Bai Qingyan jumped onto the horse, turned around to look at Murong Yu who was standing on the pleasure boat and waving at her, nodded slightly to Murong Yu, and rode away.
Murong Yu looked at Bai Qingyan’s heroic figure riding away on his horse and let out a long breath… He had a premonition that this would be the last time he would see Bai Qingyan.
Hearing the sound of the copper bell on the neck of Bai Qingyan’s horse getting farther and farther away, Murong Yu turned back to the pleasure boat. He took just two steps when he staggered and held onto the wooden door of the pleasure boat. He raised his hand to cover his heart, looking extremely uncomfortable.
“Quick! Medicine!” The guards hurriedly supported Emperor Yan and shouted.

Bai Qingyan galloped out of the sight of Emperor Yan, and the Bai family guards rode forward impatiently, and the general reported to Bai Qingyan: “Miss, there are soldiers in my Jin army who have also been infected with the plague. On July 29th, August 3rd, and August 5th, we lost three cities in a row!”
Bai Qingyan held the reins tightly, and the prince sent the plague to Daliang… Bai Qingyan was worried that it would backfire on the State of Jin, and it turned out to be true.
Before Bai Qingyan could enter the city, the guards from the Bai family rode out of the city and ran into Bai Qingyan who was about to enter the city: “Young Master!”
Bai Qingyan quickly reined in the horse, causing the horse to raise its hooves and turn around before stopping.
The guard of the Bai family jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and bowed to the sky, saying, “Master, a distinguished guest has arrived!”
Someone from heaven?!
“Get on the horse! Go back home!” Bai Qingyan’s face was calm and he kicked his horse’s belly and galloped into the city.
Bai Qingyan entered from the corner gate of the Bai Mansion. Chuntao and Nanny Tong had been waiting there long ago. When she saw Bai Qingyan leap off the horse, Chuntao hurried forward and took out a letter from Bai Jinxiu, the second young lady from Dadu, and handed it to Bai Qingyan: “Young lady, the second young lady’s letter was just delivered to Boyun Courtyard, and right after that…Eunuch Quanyu from the Prince’s Mansion came to ask to see you, young lady!”
Bai Qingyan casually threw the whip to the guard, took the letter, and hurried towards the inner courtyard while opening Bai Jinxiu’s letter to read.
Bai Jinxiu said in the letter that the prince and the court officials were dissatisfied because Liu Hong and the fourth son Bai Jinzhi, who were fighting in Daliang, lost several cities in just a few days. Although Prime Minister Lu tried his best to stop him, the prince still wanted to replace Liu Hong and Bai Jinzhi.
Most people in the court accused Liu Hong of favoring the descendants of the Bai family and of using Bai Jinzhi in the war. However, Bai Jinzhi was young and a girl after all. She had been unstoppable before, but as time went on, it would be revealed that women were inferior to men. Therefore, the ministers in the court jointly submitted a petition… to replace Bai Jinzhi.
Seeing that replacing Bai Jinzhi was unstoppable, Prime Minister Lu recommended Fu Ruoxi to take over the military power again. However, the prince could not find a suitable person to take over the patrol camp for a while, so Li Mao asked for his son Li Mingrui… to let Li Mingrui go to replace Bai Jinzhi.
Li Mao personally issued a military order, stating that if Li Mingrui failed to recapture the city lost by Bai Jinzhi within three months, he would be beheaded.
This is not a good thing for the Bai family. Bai Jinzhi has finally gained control of the Anping army. The military tokens are not even warm yet, and there is not enough time for the Anping army to be as loyal to Bai Jinzhi as they are to Fu Ruoxi. If Bai Jinzhi is replaced at this time… the Bai family will lose the Anping army.
Bai Jinxiu knew very well that this matter would not benefit Bai Qingyan, and Li Mingrui was not yet loyal to the Bai family, so it was still unclear whether she would dare to use him.
After reading Bai Jinxiu’s letter, Bai Qingyan held it tightly in his hand and looked forward with a deep and solemn gaze…
Then, Bai Qingyan could guess why the prince sent Quan Yu to Shuoyang. It seemed that the prince wanted to replace the fourth daughter Bai Jinzhi with Li Mingrui, and considering the so-called relationship between them…he sent the most respected eunuch Quan Yu to Shuoyang to tell her.
Li Mingrui, a dismissed Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, actually signed a military order to go to Daliang to earn military merit, and seemed determined to replace Bai Jinzhi.
