Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter 328: Disgusting Incident_1

Lu Jin suddenly let out a low chuckle and wrote the name "Li Mao" on the piece of paper.

It appeared that Wen Zhenkang’s wife sought help from the Left Prime Minister Li Mao. But on what basis could Wen Zhenkang’s wife persuade Li Mao to save Wen Zhenkang?

Lu Jin wrote the word "handle" on the paper. As for what leverage Wen Zhenkang’s wife held over Li Mao, Lu Jin was not interested.

He put down the pen, carefully read the paper, moved the lamp cover aside, and burned the paper to ashes before proceeding to write two concluding memorials for the cases.

On the tenth day of April, the Princess of Xiliang, Li Tianfu, married into the Crown Prince’s mansion as the Crown Prince’s side consort.

Although marrying a side consort was a joyous occasion for the Crown Prince’s residence, it was not considered a happy event for the Crown Princess Consort. However, as the Crown Prince’s primary consort, the Crown Princess Consort had to muster the spirit to entertain the female guests.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince had repeatedly assured her the night before that despite marrying this Princess of Xiliang as a side consort, he would absolutely not favor a foreign woman. The most important woman in his heart would always be the Crown Princess Consort, which made her feel somewhat better.

The Bai family was in mourning, so they had to avoid celebrating others’ joyous events.

Mrs. Dong prepared a generous gift and sent it to the Crown Prince’s residence, stating directly that the Bai family was in mourning and would not attend the banquet.

Near the end of the fourth watch period, Bai Qingyan was reading in her room when Nanny Tong suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, handing a letter to Bai Qingyan. "Miss, someone just slipped this letter into our doorman’s hand and ran away. The doorman gave the letter to Lu Ping, and Lu Ping, seeing that its contents were significant, hurried to bring it to you."

Bai Qingyan closed the book in her hands and placed it on a small yellow rosewood table. She took the letter and opened it.

There was only one line inside...

[Princess of Xiliang plans to assassinate the Crown Prince]

Bai Qingyan’s eyes darkened.

The letter had reached her hands. Whether it was true or not, as someone loyal to the Crown Prince, she had to go to the Crown Prince’s residence today.

If she did not go and the matter was true, someone with ulterior motives might use it against her in the future. Both the Crown Prince and the Emperor were suspicious and had little faith. If they doubted her, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

She tapped her finger on the small table. If she went, she might not avoid potential traps waiting for her.

Thinking it over, Bai Qingyan thought of Qin Shangzhi.

She put the letter away and asked Nanny Tong to have someone prepare a horse. She and Lu Ping headed straight for the side gate of the Crown Prince’s residence to ask for Qin Shangzhi. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

Qin Shangzhi, hearing that Lu Ping had come, hurried out from the side gate, only to see Bai Qingyan there as well.

"Commandery Princess..." Qin Shangzhi saluted Bai Qingyan with folded hands.

"Mr. Qin, there’s no need for formalities." Bai Qingyan handed the letter to Qin Shangzhi. "Today, the doorman of the Princess of Zhen’s estate received this letter."

Qin Shangzhi quickly took the letter and opened it. Seeing the line on the paper, his eyes widened.

"This... this can’t be right! Does Xiliang still want to fight?" Qin Shangzhi’s mind raced.
