Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 787

Chapter 787: Chapter 784: Utter Conviction_1

The Crown Prince arranged it this way with the intention of promoting Fan Yuhuai’s son. Zhang Duanning possessed the maturity and steadiness to manage affairs along the route effectively. Fan Yugan was merely tagging along.

In addition, the Crown Prince also ordered someone to bring the Imperial Physician, saying that the Imperial Physician should be dedicated to attending to Bai Qingyan’s health with utmost care, ensuring nothing went wrong. Bai Qingyan was advised to be extra cautious.

At the end of the letter, Bai Jinxiu wrote about the latest war developments between Yan and Wei. Now, Yan had deployed three fierce generals: the Ninth Prince Murong Yan, the Second Prince Murong Ping, and the military general Xie Xun.

Ninth Prince Murong Yan led troops in a deadly defense against Xiliang at Yan’s borders. Second Prince Murong Ping and General Xie Xun divided their forces into two, steadily advancing towards the Wei’s capital, Chang City. At their current marching speed, Yan’s forces could successfully capture Wei’s capital by the end of the year.

Bai Qingyan finished reading the letter and remained silent for a moment. Then, she moved the lampshade, lit the letter, and watched it burn to ashes. Only then did she look up at Zhao Ran: "Go and tell the messenger to inform the Second Miss... to be careful and keep an eye on Fan Yuhuai, but do not alert him. Note down whom Fan Yuhuai is closest to among his old subordinates. Have Fu Ruoxi make a list, and rank them based on their proximity and official positions. At the appropriate time, make slight adjustments to the ranks of those closer to Fan Yuhuai and those more distant. See if Fan Yuhuai’s attitude changes towards them."

Bai Qingyan paused for a moment, then added: "Additionally, have the Second Miss investigate who recommended Fan Yuhuai’s son, Fan Yugan, and Zhang Duanning to escort the grain and supplies."

"Yes!" Zhao Ran responded with a clasped fist, turned around, and went out to relay the orders.

Bai Qingyan had previously given Fan Yuhuai a list to test his loyalty.

At that time, Bai Qingyan observed Fan Yuhuai’s actions. He seemed to want to be a pure minister, not involved in any factional struggles. Now, however, he also started associating with old subordinates of the Patrol Camp. At the same time, someone recommended Fan Yuhuai’s son, Fan Yugan, who had an unusual relationship with Lu Yuanpeng. This situation became rather intriguing.

Fan Yuhuai’s son, Fan Yugan, wished only to live a life of wealth and leisure. However, as a father, Fan Yuhuai had to consider his son’s future, leading to Fan Yugan’s task of escorting grain and supplies to the front line.

Could Fan Yugan be Fan Yuhuai’s weakness? Had someone used Fan Yugan’s future to win Fan Yuhuai over?

Just as Fu Ruoxi worried, Fan Yuhuai was not always a person keen on feasting and drinking. On the contrary, the former Fan Yuhuai seemed averse to attending banquets with his colleagues.

Did he truly feel content with his current position as head of the Imperial Guards, believing he had reached the end, and thus lost his prudence, or was there another change Bai Qingyan couldn’t confirm yet?

However, Bai Qingyan was certain that Fan Yuhuai’s mentality had changed from the past. Whether this change was good or bad for Bai Qingyan remained unknown.

"Eldest Sister, this Fan Yuhuai... wasn’t he the hero who helped save you during the Wude Gate incident? Hasn’t he been through life and death with you? Is he still untrustworthy?" Bai Jinzhi also had her doubts.
