Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 352: Reason_1

Thus, Li Mao would understand that the Bai family was unwilling to stir up trouble. It wasn’t that they lacked the ability to create trouble for him, and he would realize that even though the Bai family had only a widow and orphans left, they were definitely not powerless.

Li Mao needed to feel pain, to feel fear, and to know just how ruthless the Bai family could be. Only then would he be truly wary and scared from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, if Li Mao harbored thoughts about the Bai family or caused trouble for the Bai family army stationed in the southern borders without reason, it was not something she wanted to see. She needed the Bai family to be safe and the Bai family army to be successful. Thus, Li Mao had to be subdued and even made to protect the Bai family and their army.

In this way, the letters that Li Mao dreaded would also temporarily remain hidden.

Although Bai Qingyan hated Li Mao deeply in her heart, compared to killing him outright, the opportunity to use this powerful figure was something she would relish.

It’s just a matter of dealing with him later. There’s no rush.

Understanding Bai Qingyan’s intentions, Bai Jinzhi nodded vigorously, "Then I will keep a close watch on the movements of Left Prime Minister Li Mao these days and prevent him from making any moves!"

Bai Qingyan nodded.

Bai Jinzhi, remembering that the Emperor had not yet summoned Miss Lu to the palace for a consultation, felt a bit anxious: "Eldest Young Lady, do you think I should go and find Arong from the Huang family again and ask if she didn’t relay my message to Doctor Huang? The Emperor has such a headache that he can’t attend court sessions. Why hasn’t anyone from the palace come to ask for Aunt Suqiu?"

"I think Doctor Huang must have already mentioned Aunt Suqiu to the Emperor. Let’s wait a bit longer; it should be soon," Bai Qingyan replied.

The Emperor’s headache and the inability to find the cause had left the Imperial Medical Bureau in a state of panic. If Doctor Huang had heard from his granddaughter about Miss Lu curing many difficult illnesses, he would likely mention Miss Lu to the Emperor.

After all, Doctor Huang had previously discussed medicine with Miss Lu for the Eldest Princess and was very confident in her medical skills.

The Emperor, in desperate pain and already curious about this Miss Lu, would likely seize the opportunity to meet her under the pretext that she might cure his headache.

The reason for the delay in summoning Lu Ninghuan was probably because of the Emperor’s mixed feelings — wanting to meet her but also worried that she might truly be the reincarnation of Aunt Suqiu. Given the current state of suspicion towards the Bai family, even though he didn’t want to admit he was wrong, deep down, the Emperor felt ashamed to face Aunt Suqiu.

Just as Bai Jinzhi mentioned that the Emperor had not yet sent someone to summon Lu Ninghuan to the palace to diagnose him, at noon, a messenger from Doctor Huang’s house came, saying that Miss Lu was requested to accompany Doctor Huang to the palace to treat the Emperor.

Lu Ninghuan, hearing the news that she would enter the palace to see the Emperor, did not panic. She only went to consult with Nanny Jiang about how she should dress, coincidentally meeting Bai Qingyan, who had just received the news.

Bai Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "There’s no need to deliberately pick favored colors, just choose a similar style. If it’s too intricate like that of Lady Qiu, it would seem overly crafted."

Nanny Jiang nodded, "What the young miss said is right. Why not choose that light blue moonlight dress made a few days ago? It appears refreshing."

Lu Ninghuan thanked Nanny Jiang with a curtsy.

"Who did Grandmother appoint to accompany Aunt Suqiu?" Bai Qingyan asked.

Nanny Jiang hurriedly replied, "The Eldest Princess has ordered this servant to accompany Miss Lu into the palace. Since it’s Miss Lu’s first time entering the palace, the Eldest Princess is understandably worried."

Bai Qingyan nodded, "I still have some instructions for Aunt Suqiu. I’ll accompany Aunt Suqiu to change clothes."

Nanny Jiang smiled and said, "I’ll go prepare Miss Lu’s medicine chest."
