“Be careful of everything!” Bai Jintong reminded withncern.

“Elder sister might not be able to see you off on the fifteenth. Be cautious in all matters when away!” Bai Jinxiu’s eyes reddened. She then looked at Bai Qingyan. “Elder sister’s journey to the southern border, if Jinxiu is unable to see you off, please be extremely careful. Jinxiu will wait in Dadu for elder sister to return in glory with the family.”

“I’ll take snd sister back!” Bai Jinzhi stood up.

Bai Qingyan said to Bai Jinzhi, “Go to Grandma’s and ask Nanny Jiang to personally ert Jinxiu to the Marquis Mansion. You will ampany them. Let everyone in the Marquis Mansion know that behind Jinxiu stands our grandmother, the Eldest Princess, and our Bai family widow, so that the people of Dadu understand Jinxiu is not to be bullied.”

“Elder sister, Grandma mentioned yesterday that when snd sister returns to the Marquis Mansion, Nanny Jiang will ampany her in the Eldest Princess’s carriage. The road for snd sister’s return to the Marquis Mansion will be as smooth as it can be.” Bai Jintong said softly.

Though it was expected, Bai Qingyan truly had not anticipated that Grandma would take the initiative to do so. She nodded, “Good, then I feel relieved.”

Watching her three younger sisters leave, she said to Chun Tao, “Chun Tao, change my clothes… and send for Xiao Ruohai.”

Chun Tao saw Bai Qingyan’s pale face and wanted to advise her, but knew it would be futile. She curtseyed with tears in her eyes. “Yes!”

She had not had a sound sleep in days; she had slept for two days.

She wondered if there had been any movements from King Liang in prison in these past two days, and if Gao Sheng, Tongji, or Tian Weijun had revealed anything under interrogation.

Upon hearing that Bai Qingyan had awakened, Xiao Ruohai, who had been waiting for her summons, arrived quickly.

“The maid Chun Yan by Miss Bai’s sidenfessed everything during interrogation and died from excessive blood loss last night. Gao Sheng is a tough man. It’s said that even the skilled interrogator under the Minister of Judicial Reviewuldn’t get anything out of him. Tongji suffered immense torture in prison but knows nothing. Only Tian Weijunnfessed everything he knew, but none of it pertained directly to the key matter. Still, it can benfirmed that the southern border grain issue is certainly related to King Liang.”

Xiao Ruohai bent over respectfully, briefly relaying the news from the prison to Bai Qingyan.

“One more thing, on the snd day after the Bai family’s funeral, King of Qi, in disguise, came to the Bai Mansion. He handed a token to the Eldest Princess, seemingly wanting to see you. But at that time, you hadn’t awakened yet. The Eldest Princess and King of Qi spoke privately for about half an hour before he quietly left. Only the Eldest Princess and Lady Dong know about this.”

Bai Qingyan was not surprised. With King Xin gone, it was only natural for King Qi to be made Crown Prince, and his intent was clear in wanting to investigate her before the southern expedition.

As for what Grandma discussed with King Qi, she no longer cared.

“Miss Bai, Third Miss is suddenly here…”

As soon as Chun Tao finished speaking, Bai Jintong, panting heavily, had already lifted the curtain and entered.

“Elder sister…” Bai Jintong bowee and will personally lead the southern expedition on the fifteenth of the first month. His Majesty has ordered the Vice Minister of Revenue to personally handle the grain dispatch.”

As soon as Bai Jintong received the news, she hurried over.

If the Crown Prince was going on the expedition, elder sister would undoubtedly ampany him, which meant elder sister would also leave on the fifteenth.

The fifteenth of the first month, so soon.

Just as Chun Tao was about to enter, Nanny Qin said, “The Crown Prince is here, in the front hall, wanting to see Miss Bai. Lady Dong is currently ampanying him for tea.” _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
