Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 713: Building Momentum_1

"Yes..." Steward Hao responded, saluted, and took a step forward to make arrangements.

Bai Qingyan had just arrived at the front hall when the guard brought the first prescription written by Doctor Hong. She had not yet mounted her horse when she heard Mr. Min Qianqiu calling her.

"Princess of Zhen..."

Bai Qingyan turned her head and saw Mr. Min Qianqiu draped in a cloak, lifting the hem of his long robe as he walked up the steps. She hurriedly saluted him, "Sir."

Bai Qingyan still looked frail, with pale lips and face devoid of blood, her body thin.

Mr. Min Qianqiu glanced at the twenty guards outside the Bai Mansion, all ready to depart, each wearing a cloak, clearly set for a long journey.

Mr. Min Qianqiu saluted Bai Qingyan. When he raised his head, he saw Bai Qingyan’s frail appearance, his brow furrowing tightly. "Is the Princess of Zhen going to Dadu City to persuade the Crown Prince of Jin not to kill the plague victims in Huayang City and Qinhuai City?"

Bai Qingyan nodded. "Indeed. Doctor Hong has already developed a prescription to treat the plague. I have already dispatched people to rush the prescription to Huayang City and Qinhuai City. But in this matter, I have acted on my own initiative... I still need to personally go to the Crown Prince’s mansion to persuade and explain."

Mr. Min Qianqiu nodded and watched as Bai Qingyan was helped onto her horse.

Mr. Min Qianqiu had been staying at the Bai Mansion to write a biography for the Bai family for a long time. He knew that Bai Qingyan had almost died twice since the winter began.

Seeing that even the simple action of being helped onto the horse caused Bai Qingyan’s chest to heave violently, her hand clutching her chest in discomfort, yet she gritted her teeth and rode out quickly.

Mr. Min Qianqiu felt an indescribable sensation in his heart.

In order to save the people of two cities, this girl, not even as old as his granddaughter, disregarded her health, not even daring to ride in a carriage, wanting to rush to Dadu City on horseback.

Once, Mr. Min Qianqiu had read a eulogy Bai Qingyan wrote for the Bai family’s heroic spirits.

In it, there was a passage...

Although born at different times, there is a distinction between elder and younger. If one were to ask about lifetime aspirations, the answer would surely be... a world of peace and stability, a land of tranquility!

Mr. Min Qianqiu gently stroked his beard. "The Bai family truly knows how to teach their children! The Bai family of the Duke of Zhen, a hundred-year-old military family of the Jin Kingdom, indeed lives up to the name of Zhen."

That afternoon, it spread throughout Shuoyang City that the Princess of Zhen, Bai Qingyan, was dragging her "dying body" to Dadu City to save the people of Huayang City and Qinhuai City.

Some claimed to have seen the Princess of Zhen being supported as she left the Bai Mansion and again as she mounted her horse, her face completely bloodless, her entire being emaciated.

The rumors grew more and more exaggerated, with some even saying that Bai Qingyan was hanging on to life just to save the people of the two cities.

But no matter how wild the rumors became, the four words "Princess of Zhen" held immense importance in the hearts of the people of Shuoyang and the refugees at the treatment centers outside the city.

It was not because she was the God of Slaughter or because she was invincible, but because, despite her full honors, she disregarded her own well-being and ran around for the people’s lives.
