Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Chapter 390: Entering the Palace_1

The gatekeeper told the maid waiting outside the door, "Please inform Nanny Jiang that someone from the palace has arrived to escort Miss Lu to the palace."

Nanny Jiang hurried out upon hearing the news to find out what was happening.

The Eldest Princess turned her head to look outside the window lattice, her eyebrows furrowing, "Could it be that the Emperor’s health has become uncomfortable again?"

Miss Lu looked down, standing on the side, "Ning Huan has already reminded His Majesty to practice restraint in his bedroom matters. These days, His Majesty has not touched that medicine. Even if His Majesty used it last night, he absolutely would not feel unwell today."

Bai Qingyan could roughly guess the reason. She raised her eyes and looked at Miss Lu, her tone firm, "His Majesty summons you to the palace, most likely for that resurrection medicine in Miss Ji’s possession."

Yesterday, Ji Langhua caused such a commotion. Even now, the citizens of Dadu City are still hotly discussing that resurrection medicine. It was almost impossible for the news not to reach the Emperor’s ears.

"Yesterday, I wondered how it went when you spoke with Miss Ji?" Bai Qingyan asked Lu Ninghuan.

Lu Ninghuan shook her head.

"What kind of dispute are you two having?" The Eldest Princess naturally knew about the commotion Ji Langhua caused yesterday but was unaware of the relationship between Ji Langhua and Lu Ninghuan.

"I haven’t had time to report to you yet, Elder Princess. Ji Langhua... is my cousin, my maternal grandfather’s direct granddaughter." Lu Ninghuan respectfully replied.

The Eldest Princess was slightly astonished, "So, this whole resurrection medicine commotion caused by Ji Langhua was intended for the Emperor?"

Lu Ninghuan hesitated and nodded, "Please do not blame her, Elder Princess. She is still young..."

The Eldest Princess did not blame her; she only asked, "Is it to avenge her grandfather... to kill the Emperor?" _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

"Langhua said the young generals of the Bai family died protecting the nation and the people. Their loyalty and righteousness moved heaven and earth. As a commoner, she was fortunate to be rescued by the young generals of the Bai family and was willing to sacrifice her life to seek justice for the deceased."

Lu Ninghuan glanced at Bai Qingyan again, then lowered her eyes. She did not dare to tell the Eldest Princess that Ji Langhua’s original words were... willing to sacrifice her life to seek justice for the deceased and to kill the tyrant for the common people.

The Eldest Princess closed her eyes briefly, her eyes reddening severely. Even a young girl knew the loyalty and righteousness of the Bai family and considered the Emperor to be a tyrant.

After rounding the screen to bow, Nanny Jiang reported, "The palace has sent someone to escort Miss Lu to the palace."

"Go ahead!" The Eldest Princess said, "If His Majesty asks about that resurrection medicine, just say it’s nonsense..."

Lu Ninghuan agreed, "Ning Huan understands."

After Lu Ninghuan left, the Eldest Princess lost her appetite. Bai Qingyan guessed it was because... her grandmother saw a weak woman unrelated to the Bai family, with no power or influence, attempting to avenge the Bai family with her intelligence, while she... as a wife, mother, and grandmother, had to protect the Lin family’s imperial power.

"Grandmother, breakfast is getting cold; please have some breakfast first!" Bai Qingyan said.

The Eldest Princess nodded, hoping... when the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, he could do better.

By noon, news spread that the Princess of Zhen’s carriage convoy returning to Shuoyang on the twenty-sixth was robbed, spreading like boiling water poured into hot oil throughout Dadu City.
