The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 933: Money Can’t Buy It
Li Zhijie casually placed the melon seeds on a plate beside him, turned around and sat back on the couch. He looked up at the slightly swaying candlelight, stroking his chin with his fingers, and his eyes darkened…
If Bai Qingyan really wants to ascend the throne smoothly, they must follow the original plan and offer fifteen cities to the Great Zhou, and Yun Poxing’s grandson must come in person to admit his mistake and sacrifice his life.
Yun Poxing had disemboweled the seventeenth son of the Bai family to humiliate him. Today, Yun Poxing’s grandson will also disembowel himself in public to repay this humiliation. He only hopes that the Empress of the Great Zhou will calm down and let go of the three-year agreement she made with Yun Poxing.
Only by doing so, when the war between Rongdi and Xiliang started, the Great Zhou would have no excuse to attack Xiliang.
Moreover, Xiliang has come to this point. If Bai Qingyan still insists on fighting, I am afraid that the court officials will also criticize him.
Li Zhijie closed his eyes. Yun Poxing was truly loyal to Xiliang to the core.
It was Yun Poxing who tearfully requested Your Majesty to let Changsun come to the Great Zhou.
One hundred thousand elite soldiers were lost in the battle of Wengshan in Xiliang. Now the new recruits are not well trained yet, and it is a struggle for them to fight against the Great Zhou… not to mention that there is also the Rongdi.
It would have been fine if we had not seen the letters from Rongdi and Dayan, but since we have seen them and know that Rongdi intends to attack Xiliang within three years, Xiliang must be prepared.
Rongdi has stabilized Dayan for Xiliang. What Xiliang needs to do now is to stabilize Dayzhou. Only then… can Xiliang let go and fight Rongdi and strive to destroy Rongdi!
Yun Poxing’s family is full of loyal and brave men. The Xiliang royal family is not the Jin royal family.
The Bai family was loyal and righteous, but they met a tragic end because of their master’s incompetence and fear. Not only would Li Zhijie never allow such a thing to happen in Xiliang, even the Queen of Xiliang would never allow it to happen.
Therefore, Li Zhijie and the Queen of Xiliang did not want Yun Poxing’s grandson to die here. Yun Poxing’s grandson was also a good man of Xiliang. He knew clearly what he was going to do this time, but he still came resolutely.
The purpose was to use his life to buy time for his motherland so that it could concentrate on dealing with the evil-minded Rongdi.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the death of Yun Poxing’s grandson can be used to restrict the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou from sending troops to Xiliang with justification… It can save Xiliang from the dilemma of having to divide its troops to fight against the Rongdi and the Great Zhou. This is a very cost-effective deal. But in the eyes of the Queen Mother of Xiliang and Li Zhijie… this deal is not cost-effective.
A loyal and brave man is priceless!
If Yun Poxing’s grandson really died here, it would probably make the people of Xiliang feel disheartened.
After much deliberation, Li Zhijie decided to lend a hand to King Baishui and try to kill Bai Qingyan at the coronation ceremony to save their good man from Xiliang.
Li Zhijie stared at the flickering candlelight, made up his mind, and said, “Someone come!”
Li Zhijie’s confidant came in and bowed, “Your Majesty!”
“How many assassins have we brought this time?” Li Zhijie looked at his subordinates.
The subordinate looked up and replied, “I brought more than sixty people!”
“Leave it all to Prince Baishui, and ask him to find a way to send people into the palace. These people are our top assassins from Xiliang, and they will definitely be able to help him kill Bai Qingyan!” Li Zhijie thought for a moment and said, “Let our assassins be careful and not let anyone see that they are from Xiliang. Even if… even if they are dead, their bodies cannot tell the Queen of Great Zhou that they are from Xiliang. Let them be cautious!”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty! I will make all the arrangements!” The subordinate responded and left quickly.
Li Zhijie recalled the scene when he first met Bai Qingyan. She was dressed in military uniform, sitting on horseback in a heroic manner. She was clearly a stunningly beautiful woman, but she had a refined and elegant character. She was indeed a type of beauty that Li Zhijie had never seen before.
Li Zhijie couldn’t bear to let such a beauty die, but for Xiliang, there was nothing he could do…
Li Zhijie sighed and his eyes fell on the parrot. If Bai Qingyan really died this time, he would burn a few more incense sticks for her on her death anniversary in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Zhijie felt that his guilt was not so strong anymore.
He looked at the colorful yellow and blue parrot and said, “Say… the Queen of the Great Zhou is the most beautiful!”
The brightly colored yellow and blue parrot fluttered its wings and landed on the high table. It stretched its neck and shrilly imitated Li Zhijie’s words: “The Empress of the Great Zhou is the most beautiful! The Empress of the Great Zhou is the most beautiful!”

It was late at night. After Bai Jinxiu and Qin Lang left, Bai Qingyan ordered the nanny beside Bai Jinse to take Bai Jinse back home. Bai Qingjue also urged Bai Qingyan in a low voice to go and rest.
Chun Tao had just helped Bai Qingyan stand up when Xie Yuchang, who was guarding the door of Bai’s house, came running in despite the rain. He stood in front of the gauze curtain hung in front of the corridor to block flying insects and saluted Bai Qingyan: “Your Majesty… Mr. Xiao asked to see you late at night.”
Logically speaking, if someone wanted to see Bai Qingyan at this hour, Xie Yuchang should not have passed the message.
But this Mr. Xiao was different from ordinary people. Not only had he done a favor to the Bai family when they were in trouble, but Xie Yuchang also heard from Yang Wuce, a surrendered general from Daliang, that on New Year’s Eve, this Mr. Xiao made a special trip to Daliang to accompany Bai Qingyan to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Bai Qingyan said in person that Xiao Rongyan was her fiancé.
Therefore, Xiao Rongyan came to the door in person, and Xie Yuchang did not dare to delay and hurried over to report.
When Bai Qingjue heard Xiao Rongyan’s name, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Bai Qingyan…
Once upon a time, it was Xiao Rongyan who bought Bai Qingjue from the human traffickers. Logically speaking, Xiao Rongyan should have done Bai Qingjue a favor, not to mention… Xiao Rongyan once rescued his mother who had almost crashed into a coffin.
But even so, Bai Qingjue was still extremely wary of Xiao Rongyan. This man had an inseparable relationship with Dayan. Now that Wei had been taken under the control of Dayan, Xiao Rongyan from Wei had become Xiao Rongyan from Yan.
Bai Qingjue even suspected that… this so-called richest businessman in Wei State was a spy for Yan State from the very beginning.
He was sure that in the future… Dayan would be the strongest enemy of the Great Zhou in unifying the world.
The eldest sister is a person who will repay a favor. Bai Qingjue is worried that Xiao Rongyan will use the favor to ask for a reward. After all, the eldest sister is about to ascend the throne and become the empress of the Great Zhou. If Xiao Rongyan is worried, he will have to ask for a huge amount of money.
Bai Qingyan knew that Xiao Rongyan had already arrived in the capital. Since Xiao Rongyan hadn’t come today, she knew that he was afraid of being stuck. But she didn’t expect Xiao Rongyan to come so late…
Since New Year’s Eve, the two of them have never seen each other again.
I think Xiao Rongyan was worried about her because he was thinking about her losing her grandmother, so he hurried over after finishing his work.
“Eldest sister, why don’t I go meet Mr. Xiao!” Bai Qingjue looked towards the entrance of the Bai Mansion.
The candlelight in the mourning hall illuminated Bai Qingyan’s pale and haggard features. She tightened her hands at her side and said, “Just stay at home and keep vigil for your grandmother. Please ask Mr. Xiao to come in…”
Sorry, I didn’t get the plot right, so I can’t ascend the throne today…
