The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 931: revenge
Chapter 931 Revenge
Xiao Rongyan’s palms tightened. The little emperor of Wei had indeed escaped. The State of Yan had searched for him many times but couldn’t find him. No one knew where he was hiding.
For the State of Yan, the existence of the young emperor of Wei was always a hidden danger.
“Your Majesty…are you safe now?” Xiao Rongyan asked in a low voice, hiding his emotions.
“Why? You also want to restore the country?” King Xihuai said with a smile, “Forget it, Rong Yan! My nephew did intend for me to come to you before, but I didn’t agree… Even if you are the richest man in the world with a fortune of millions, I will never ask you to give up all your wealth to restore the country just because you are from Wei.”
King Xihuai’s smile was uglier than crying. He was a member of the royal family of Wei State, so how could he not want Wei State to be restored? He just knew that… there was no hope of restoration and he didn’t want to implicate his friends anymore.
“Yan is strong, and Wei is doomed to have no hope of restoration! Now my little nephew’s actions to restore the country are just childish, and will never amount to anything. Why bother to make you spend all your wealth!”
Xiao Rongyan’s palms tightened slightly.
“Although I only know how to eat, drink and have fun, I have lost my country and my home, so I can think things through! Great Yan is determined to unify the world… The goal is clear and definite, and the powerful steps will only be more steady! The same is true for Great Zhou now! Unifying the world seems to be the general trend. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for Wei to restore its country! Even if it can restore its country… it must be because other countries want to use Wei as a blade in their hands!”
The hatred in King Xihuai’s eyes was not strong, and he only said: “I only hope that one day, the Queen of the Great Zhou can destroy Yan, which can be regarded as revenge for my Wei Kingdom!”
When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes.
Xiao Rongyan couldn’t believe that these words actually came from the mouth of Prince Xihuai: “Did the prince think of this…?”
King Xihuai smiled as if he knew me well and said, “It was my nephew’s teacher Liu Wanyuan who said that. Before he left… Liu Wanyuan told me not to take this assassination as the most important thing. What matters most is saving your life! This is also an explanation to my little nephew.”
“Lord Liu is a wise man!” Xiao Rongyan said sincerely.
“That’s right!” King Xihuai let out a long breath, his tone a little sad, “But then again, my nephew is still so young, but he has the ambition to restore the country, which is much better than me!”
Xiao Rongyan looked at the King of Xihuai who believed in him without reservation and said in a low voice: “You should take good care of your injuries! During this period of time… I will let Yue Shi take care of you personally. If I can ask the Ninth Prince to let you go, I will have someone send you away!”
King Xi Huai nodded, feeling extremely grateful: “Even if I can’t beg you to let me go, in this life… I can have a brother like you, so I won’t lose anything!”

After discussing with the second wife Liu, the third wife Li, the fourth wife Wang and the fifth wife Qi, Dong decided to set the date of the eldest princess’s funeral on the 19th, the day before Bai Qingyan’s coronation ceremony, in order to fulfill the eldest princess’s wish and also to symbolize that the Jin Dynasty had completely turned over a new leaf.
Before the ladies of the Bai family returned, Nanny Jiang had already sent people to tidy up the ladies’ residences.
It was late at night, and Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinxiu to take Wang Ge’er back to rest first. Wang Ge’er, who had not been seen for many months, was now clinging to Bai Jinxiu.
Bai Jinzhao, Bai Jinhua and Bai Jinse were in the period of growth, so Bai Qingyan told them to take a rest first and come back in the second half of the night to take over for her and Bai Qingjue.
Xiao Qi refused. After finally meeting Bai Qingjue, she insisted on keeping vigil here together. However, she did not ask where Bai Qingjue had been all these years. She knew that there must be a reason why Bai Qingjue did not come back. As long as Xiao Qi was safe now… that was enough.
Today, the ladies of the Bai family returned to the capital city to pay tribute to the grandmother of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty… the Grand Princess of the Jin Dynasty. It was really noisy all day.
The sun sets, dusk falls, and in this night with the chirping of birds and insects, the capital city finally becomes quiet.
Soon, it began to rain. The rain was not heavy, but it was a gentle drizzle that wet the dark blue tiles on the roofs of the buildings in the capital city.
The imperial guards protected the Bai Mansion tightly inside and out, and ordinary people didn’t dare to get close.
The door of the mourning hall was open, and the damp wind lifted the white silk, dimming the light inside the hall. Then, as the bells on the copper hooks hanging on the bamboo curtains in the corridor rang, the light flickered and brightened again.
Bai Jinse couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep beside Bai Qingyan…
Bai Qingyan asked Chuntao to get a thin blanket to cover Bai Jinse. Chuntao also brought the soup cooked by Nanny Tong from the small kitchen in Qinghui Courtyard and asked Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingjue to drink some, which would make them feel better.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingjue were talking, Chuntao quietly covered the Seventh Girl with a blanket, and served soup to her own girl and the Seventh Young Master, then she knelt quietly behind Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingjue lowered his eyes and took a sip of soup, then put the bowl aside. He looked at Bai Qingyan solemnly and said, “The clan leader came with us to the capital this time, but Bai Qingping stayed in Shuoyang, saying that it was just in case. I asked General Shen Kunyang to stay in Shuoyang temporarily as well, and lead the army to the capital on the day of the coronation ceremony to ensure that no one can cause trouble at my eldest sister’s coronation ceremony.”
Night insects took shelter from the rain, buzzing in the dark corners of the corridor. Moths fluttered against the gauze curtains in the corridor that were half wet by the rain and that blocked the flying insects. This made the Bai Mansion seem even quieter, and Bai Qingjue’s voice seemed even more sonorous.
His eyes were determined, and he vowed to protect his elder sister and ensure her smooth ascension to the throne, and would never allow anyone to cause trouble.
“What news did you get?” Bai Qingyan asked Bai Qingjue in a gentle voice.
“When he was still in Southern Xinjiang, General Shen Kunyang received a letter from his third sister, saying that Xiliang had sent King Yan Li Zhijie to Jin State secretly on April 23rd. However, his third sister was too far away from the imperial court and had not found out why Li Zhijie went to Jin State! Coincidentally, after returning to Shuoyang, he received a letter from Qin Lang, saying that on May 16th… when the capital was in chaos, he accompanied his second aunt to burn incense and pray for peace, and saw the White Water King and Li Zhijie having a secret meeting.”
As soon as Bai Qingjue finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor. He immediately stopped talking and looked towards the door with a wary look.
As it happened, Bai Jinxiu brought Qin Lang here…
Qin Lang looked at Bai Qingjue, who was sitting upright, and Bai Qingyan, who looked exhausted but was trying to cheer up, and saluted: “Miss, Seventh Young Master!”
Bai Qingjue hurriedly stood up and saluted: “Second sister! Second brother-in-law!”
Bai Jinxiu nodded and said, “I didn’t expect that Ajue had already told my elder sister about this. I just heard about this from Qin Lang, so I immediately brought Qin Lang to see my elder sister… I wanted Qin Lang to tell my elder sister about this in detail.”
“Chun Tao…” Bai Qingyan turned his head and instructed Chun Tao who was kneeling behind him, “Stay at the bottom of the corridor and tell us if anyone comes.”
The third update! I’m still begging for monthly votes!
