Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595: Chapter 592: Not Without Reason_1

The Crown Prince waved his hand dismissively, "Not really. It’s Yan and Beirong jointly attacking Nanrong. This is understandable since Nanrong ambushed and killed Yan’s princess, who was to marry into Beirong as their new empress. How could Yan and Beirong swallow this anger? Naturally, they would attack Nanrong. It is just as well... Nanrong recently plundered our Jin Kingdom’s Dengzhou City, and they deserve to learn a lesson."

The Crown Prince clearly didn’t take the matter to heart.

"Your Highness!" Bai Qingyan suddenly rose with a solemn expression and bowed towards the Crown Prince, "Yan and Beirong attacking Nanrong... our Jin Kingdom must not sit by and let it happen!"

The Crown Prince didn’t understand Bai Qingyan’s words, furrowing his brows, "Princess of Zhen, what do you mean by this? Do you think the Jin Kingdom should take this opportunity to annihilate Nanrong?"

Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on the map of the territory hanging in the Crown Prince’s study. She rose and walked towards it, and the Crown Prince quickly followed.

"Your Highness, look here..." Bai Qingyan pointed at Yan, located to the west of the Jin Kingdom, "Yan lies to the west of our Jin Kingdom. Now it also controls Beirong, which lies to our east. If Beirong swallows Nanrong in this war, Yan’s close relationship with the Rong people will form a pincer movement around our Jin Kingdom! Your Highness... with Nanrong there, they entangle Yan and Beirong, ensuring the safety of our Jin Kingdom."

The Crown Prince glanced at Yan to the south of the map and then at the Rong people to the north, clenching his fist by his side, "Nanrong just plundered Dengzhou. Are we really going to help Nanrong? I just can’t swallow this anger!"

"Your Highness, you must be vigilant in peaceful times. Endure momentary rage for the sake of the overall situation, only then can you strategize for the world! For the peace of our Jin Kingdom, Bai Qingyan requests the Crown Prince to send envoys to Beirong and Yan with warnings. Also, dispatch someone to inform my uncle, so Anping Camp and the Dengzhou Army can be on high alert!" Bai Qingyan said with a long bow toward the Crown Prince.

In military affairs, the Crown Prince always trusted Bai Qingyan. After all, in the Southern War, he had doubted Bai Qingyan to their great loss.

The Crown Prince’s gaze fixated on the map, his fist tightening, "But Father has not yet awakened. This matter..."

"Your Highness, you are destined to ascend the throne someday. His Majesty is currently unconscious and has entrusted the government to you. You must take action to reassure His Majesty that the Jin Kingdom’s future is in safe hands! As long as Your Highness believes it is for the good of the Jin Kingdom, you can give the order! Naturally... if Your Highness is unsure, you can immediately summon the Chief of Staff and Master Tan to discuss this matter. His Majesty entrusted Master Tan to assist in governance, so his opinion is very important!"

Ultimately, the Crown Prince was afraid of taking responsibility. Bai Qingyan understood the Crown Prince’s thoughts, so she suggested discussing the matter with Master Tan. With the agreement of Master Tan and the Chief of Staff, the Crown Prince would feel that even if things went wrong, the responsibility would not solely be his.

Sure enough, the Crown Prince nodded and ordered Quan Yu to quickly summon the Chief of Staff and Master Tan to the Crown Prince’s residence.

For the Jin Kingdom, the more divided the surrounding countries were, the more advantageous it would be. Bai Qingyan understood this, as did Master Tan and the Chief of Staff.

Regardless of whether Beirong and Yan attacked Nanrong to avenge Princess Mingcheng of Yan or to lay out future plans, Bai Qingyan needed to protect Nanrong!
