Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 580

Chapter 580: Chapter 577: Plotting_1

"Cousin, this is my brother’s silver spear, I lend it to you!" Dong Changmao gritted his teeth. "Cousin, you must return safely! Protect the Crown Prince!"

Bai Qingyan nodded, clamped her horse’s belly, and rushed out first. The Crown Prince was protected in the center by the guards from the Taizi Mansion and the Bai family, also urging their horses and following closely behind.

Dong Qingyue watched Bai Qingyan’s figure speeding away, stable and agile. He turned and swiftly ascended the Dianjiang Terrace, his gaze sharp as a blade, as he prepared to suppress the Anping Camp.

Bai Qingyan and the Crown Prince left the military camp, heading straight out of Dengzhou City.

Elder Fang received the news first and then had someone deliver it to the Crown Prince. He had already set out from the city.

Elder Fang knew the gravity of the situation. When the news of the Emperor’s fall and unconsciousness reached him, he immediately ordered no one to pack and took the Crown Prince’s carriage to rush outside the city to meet the Crown Prince and quickly return to the Capital.

Chun Tao was also in the Crown Prince’s convoy, which was Madam Dong’s idea.

Disorder had arisen in Dadu City. Madam Dong had anticipated that Bai Qingyan would escort the Crown Prince back. She had Chun Tao bring Bai Qingyan’s necessary belongings and follow Elder Fang out of the city.

Elder Fang was not foolish. The current chaos in Dadu demanded manpower, or rather, soldiers. The Princess of Zhen was a master of leading troops into battle. Naturally, he ensured her presence to guarantee the Crown Prince’s safety.

Elder Fang, sitting in the rapidly moving carriage, thought back and forth. He felt that returning to Dadu City directly would not suffice. If the city had already fallen under the control of the Empress or King Liang’s men, returning would mean being detained.

By then, whether it was the Empress or King Liang, they could accuse the Crown Prince of anything! Or if the Emperor passed away before the Crown Prince’s return, who knew if there would be a fabricated decree passing the throne to another?

King Xin returning to Dadu City, the Emperor’s fall...

Elder Fang could not shake the feeling that the Empress was intimately involved in this matter.

At this time, with the Crown Prince in Dengzhou, it would be better to order Dong Qingyue to escort the Crown Prince back to Dadu City.

But what if the Rong attacked?

Losing the Crown Prince’s kingdom and life weighed much heavier than losing Dengzhou City.

Elder Fang made up his mind. Upon meeting the Crown Prince outside the city, he decided not to rush back to Dadu immediately. He would first discuss it with the Crown Prince and take the Dengzhou Army if necessary.

The Crown Prince’s convoy stopped just outside Dengzhou City. Elder Fang, supported by Ren Shijie, got off the carriage and saw Bai Qingyan and the Crown Prince approaching quickly.

"Your Highness!" Elder Fang, seeing Bai Qingyan and the Crown Prince, hurriedly shook off Ren Shijie’s hand and stepped forward, calling out, "Your Highness!"
