Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 689

Chapter 689: Chapter 686: Assistance_1

"Troubling both of you to come and greet me here, cough, cough..." Bai Qingyan pressed her chest, coughing lightly twice, sounding weak.

Magistrate Zhou’s heart sank. This time the Princess of Zhen’s effort to save the throne was meritorious. Could it be as the rumors he heard, that her life was nearing its end?

"Princess of Zhen, please take good care of yourself!" Magistrate Zhou said with sincere emotion.

Then, as he raised his head, tears filled Magistrate Zhou’s eyes, almost falling, his emotions perfectly grasped as he choked out, "We people of Shuoyang, still count on the princess to lead us in training soldiers and eliminating bandits. We hope the Princess of Zhen recovers soon."

"Thank you for your concern, Magistrate Zhou. As for training soldiers and eliminating bandits... until I recover, Bai Qingping will be in charge. I hope Magistrate Zhou can assist him more!" Bai Qingyan turned her head to look at Bai Qingping.

Bai Qingping respectfully bowed to Magistrate Zhou, who hurriedly waved his hand, "Not at all! As long as Mr. Bai orders, naturally, I will comply. Moreover, the Governor’s son has been helping with the soldier training, I think it won’t require my involvement."

Magistrate Zhou bowed towards the direction of the Governor.

Bai Qingyan just smiled without speaking, her gaze fell on Governor Shen, "If the Governor has time in a few days, you can come to Bai Mansion."

Governor Shen knew what Bai Qingyan was implying and quickly bowed, "Princess of Zhen, rest assured, within three days... I will certainly visit."

Magistrate Zhou didn’t understand what secret conversation Governor Shen and the Princess of Zhen were having, but he didn’t want to miss the chance to build a connection with her either and followed, "I will also definitely visit to check on the Princess of Zhen."

Bai Qingyan weakly covered her chest, using a handkerchief to cover her mouth and catching her breath for a moment, before signaling Chun Tao to release the curtain held open by hand. From inside the carriage, severe coughing could be heard.

"Gentlemen, my eldest sister is seriously injured and cannot stay outside the city for long. We must set off now, please understand!" Bai Jinzhi, riding on a tall horse, tightly gripped the reins and bowed to Governor Shen and Magistrate Zhou.

Governor Shen quickly stepped aside, "Farewell to Princess of Zhen, farewell to Commandery Princess Gaoyi!"

Magistrate Zhou followed suit, stepping aside and bowing deeply, "Farewell to Princess of Zhen, farewell to Commandery Princess Gaoyi!"

"Enter the city!" Bai Jinzhi shouted.

The carriage procession slowly moved forward until the entire entourage of the Princess of Zhen entered the city. Only then did Magistrate Zhou straighten his already stiff old waist. Seeing Governor Shen about to board his sedan, he quickly held his waist and ran towards him, "Governor! Governor, wait for me!"

Governor Shen turned to look at Magistrate Zhou, who was running towards him, stopping his movement to get into the sedan. Straightening up, he asked, "Magistrate Zhou, is there something you need?"

"Governor, aren’t you going to Bai Mansion within three days? When do you plan to go?" Magistrate Zhou smiled, looking at Governor Shen, speaking informally, "I’ll go with you, it’s good to have some company!"

This good opportunity to show attentiveness by visiting the Princess of Zhen couldn’t just be monopolized by the Governor!

If he went too early, it would be inappropriate to disturb the Princess of Zhen’s recovery. If he went a bit later, the Governor would have already shown attentiveness. If he went second, wouldn’t it seem insincere?

Moreover, the Princess of Zhen invited the Governor to visit. She didn’t invite him. It wouldn’t be a disturbance for the Governor to go. For him, it would definitely be a disturbance.
