Chapter 446: Chapter 443: See Through at One Glance_1

"""

The remaining brothers of the Emperor yearned only for riches and honor. They had no ambition whatsoever.

The other prince was a different surname prince... King Xian of Nandu.

But the Emperor had no intention of weakening the fiefs for the moment. If King Xian harbored greater ambitions and wanted to use King Liang?

Yet, King Liang sought to ruin the Bai family, shatter their reputation completely, and collaborate with the other side. Bai Qingyan believed that besides King Xian, it was also possible that a prince from an enemy nation was involved!

After all, on the surface, she was now the most formidable general of the Jin Kingdom. Wouldn’t other nations desire to eliminate her quickly?

Liang Kingdom was possible. Xiliang went without saying. The Wei Kingdom was also possible. And Yan... was not entirely without such thoughts either.

Bai Qingyan was not afraid of open attacks, but feared hidden arrows aimed at the Bai family, especially since Bai Jinxiu was now pregnant and in Dadu... She was returning to Shuoyang tomorrow. If hidden arrows were aimed at Bai Jinxiu, that would be unfortunate.

"Take him away first!" the Eldest Princess said to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong nodded and led the person away.

Bai Jinxiu frowned deeply, tightly clenching the handkerchief in her hand. "Back then... King Liang was raised under the knee of Consort Tong!"

"Why didn’t you take Yingshuang with you when you went out today?" Bai Qingyan suddenly asked Bai Jinxiu.

"Is Eldest Young Lady missing Yingshuang? When we return to the Capital, I’ll have Yingshuang greet Eldest Young Lady."

Bai Qingyan shook her head. "Whether King Liang is collaborating with a prince of an enemy nation or with King Xian, King Liang’s determination to destroy the Bai family is so firm. You are in Dadu and pregnant, so you must be cautious. Take Yingshuang with you when you go out, for safety!"

"Don’t worry, Eldest Young Lady, I know!" Bai Jinxiu nodded, her gaze falling on the Eldest Princess, and she said with a smile, "No matter what, with Grandmother in Dadu, I will certainly be protected!"

Nanny Jiang nodded with a smile, very gratified by Bai Jinxiu’s words.

It was true that Bai Jinxiu was the granddaughter of the Eldest Princess; naturally, the Eldest Princess would protect her.

Not long after, Bai Jinzhi, who had just been picking osmanthus flowers with Bai Jinse, sneaked up to Bai Qingyan and said, "Eldest Young Lady, I just saw Mr. Xiao outside drinking tea while I was picking osmanthus flowers. Is he waiting for you?"

Bai Qingyan raised her hand and patted Bai Jinzhi’s head. Then she followed Nanny Jiang to take off her battle armor and change into ordinary clothes. After attending to the Eldest Princess and seeing her to rest, she walked with Bai Jinxiu in the Qing Temple, giving some instructions.

"There are now three things to investigate. First... the procurement of sulfur, saltpeter, and rosin by King Liang’s residence. Second... find out why the steward of King Liang’s residence is in contact with the Wang family of Jiuqu Alley!" Bai Qingyan said.

"Then... should we investigate King Xian to rule him out?" Bai Jinxiu was very keen to find out who King Liang’s collaborator was. Otherwise, just knowing about King Liang would be too passive.

"You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll find a way to investigate!" Bai Qingyan looked outside the Qing Temple. The intelligence sources Xiao Rongyan had far surpassed the Bai family’s.

"You should go back to Grandmother and rest. I’ll be back soon," Bai Qingyan said to Bai Jinxiu.
