Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571: Chapter 568: Protecting the Legitimate Heir - Part 1

If one were to discuss the overall perspective, Bai Qingyan had a broader vision compared to Old Fang.

Bai Qingyan could lead troops into battle and strategize with precision. Such a person he had to employ and win over with emotion and loyalty.

Further, he had to guard against her.

The Crown Prince thought of this and couldn’t help but feel relieved that Bai Qingyan was a woman. Otherwise, he would not dare to employ Bai Qingyan with such ease.

"Quan Yu, take a few bottles of the best wound medicine and deliver them to the Princess of Zhen for me. Tell her that even in my drunken state, I worried about the wound on her ear. Also, send some people to take good care of the Princess. Do you understand?" The Crown Prince turned to Quan Yu, who was massaging his shoulders.

Quan Yu, delighted at the chance to see Bai Qingyan, agreed happily. He picked out a few bottles of fine wound medicine and, recalling that Bai Qingyan had hardly touched any food during the feast, went to the kitchen to get a plate of freshly made snacks before heading to Bai Qingyan’s quarters.

However, before he could approach, he was stopped by Lu Ping.

Lu Ping greeted Quan Yu with a smile, "Eunuch Quan, is the Crown Prince summoning our Miss Bai for something? She has already retired for the night."

"Oh, the Princess has retired. I won’t disturb her then!" Quan Yu smiled and handed the black lacquered box with golden patterns to Lu Ping. "There are a few bottles of the best wound medicine inside, sent by His Highness. Oh, there’s also a plate of snacks. The Princess didn’t eat much at the feast earlier, probably because the food didn’t suit her taste. These are made with clear oil, definitely not greasy."

Lu Ping took the box and bowed to Quan Yu, "Thank you, Eunuch Quan, for your trouble."

"It’s my duty!" Quan Yu replied but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he hesitated, pointed to his own ear, and asked, "The Princess’s wound doesn’t need attention?"

Seeing the concern in Quan Yu’s eyes, Lu Ping hesitated for a moment. Before he could respond, Quan Yu added, "His Highness is very concerned about the Princess’s injury."

Lu Ping nodded, "Please assure His Highness that Miss Bai’s injury is just a scratch."

"That’s good to hear! That’s good to hear..." Quan Yu bowed to Lu Ping, "Then I’ll go back and report to His Highness."

"Eunuch Quan, take care." Lu Ping bowed deeply.

Watching Quan Yu leave with the maid and eunuch bowing and walking away, Lu Ping finally breathed a bit easier.

At that moment, Miss Bai was talking with Qin Shangzhi. It was Miss Bai who had him summon Qin Shangzhi. Lu Ping guessed Miss Bai felt a desire to recruit Qin Shangzhi seeing how emaciated he had become in such a short time.
