Capítulo 1230: Chapter 1224: Sent Away
Xiao Rongyan is deeply emotional and principled, especially towards his elder brother… One could say an elder brother is like a father, hence Xiao Rongyan holds significant respect for this sister-in-law.
Yunjing…
Bai Qingyan’s hand tightened slightly around the porridge spoon.
Perhaps… Yunjing could pave a way for the rger of the two countries, but the premise is that Zhou must first take Yunjing.
While Bai Qingyan was lost in thought, Wei Zhong noticed the guard entering the small courtyard, speaking with the guard outside the door. He went out to inquire, then turned back to look at Bai Qingyan, recalling the book Bai Qingyan read last night. After a mont’s hesitation, he entered the room and whispered to Bai Qingyan, “Your Majesty, a girl has arrived outside, claiming to be ng Zhaorong, seeking an audience with Your Majesty. This girl knows Your Majesty’s identity.”
Recalling what Bai Jintong wrote in her letter, Bai Qingyan didn’t even look up as she chuckled softly, “Is this worth reporting to ? A girl from another country’s Chief of Staff’s residence, even in Yan Kingdom, it’s not so easy to et their Emperor. How does she think she can et the Emperor of another country? Dismiss her.”
“The guard said that girl claims to seek an audience as the prospective Princess of Yan’s Ninth Prince,” Wei Zhong said in a low voice.
“She claims to be the prospective Princess of Yan’s Ninth Prince, does she? Check if she has entry docunts, and if she entered the city under the na of ng Zhaorong. If not… inform the garrison at Tiann Pass to treat her as a spy,” Bai Qingyan remarked while sipping porridge, showing no intention of eting ng Zhaorong, “Pack up, we’ll set off for Dadu after breakfast. There are a few more cities I wish to visit along the way.”
Perhaps during Yan’s tis, being the daughter of Minister ng and holding the title of the first beauty in Yan, along with Murong Yu’s previous intent to introduce ng Zhaorong to Murong Yan, elevated her status sowhat.
It’s likely that entering the Yanhuang Palace was relatively easy for ng Zhaorong, which led her to assu she could maneuver easily within Zhou as well.
Holding the sa title of the first beauty, even Liu Ruofu was likely more asured than this ng Zhaorong.
“Yes!” Wei Zhong responded.
Outside, ng Zhaorong stood alone, still waiting for Bai Qingyan to see her, but instead, patrol soldiers arrived, asking ng Zhaorong to present her docunts.
ng Zhaorong handed over the docunt prepared by Cui Fengnian to the patrol soldiers, who read aloud as they glanced over it, “Resident of Feng County, nad Jiang Paner?”
The Bai family guard outside shouted, “That’s not right, didn’t you say you’re the prospective Princess of Yan’s Ninth Prince, seeking an audience with our Miss?”
ng Zhaorong’s face changed, and before she could speak, the patrol soldier clapped the docunt shut, “A visitor from Yan! Apologies… Miss, you’ll have to co with us! Take her away!”
Veiled, ng Zhaorong, being a lady from a prestigious family and Minister’s daughter, could not endure such humiliation and shouted, “How dare you! I am the prospective Princess of Yan’s Ninth Prince, waiting for your Zhou Emperor to summon , how dare you arrest !”
The Bai family guard hastily said, “Miss, please don’t speak recklessly! You ca to see our Miss… indeed, our Miss’s surna is Bai, but she wouldn’t dare impersonate the current Emperor!”
ng Zhaorong, already held by the patrol soldiers, was furious, “You…”
“Moreover, judging by your attire, you’re yet a maiden, how can you speak so shalessly, shouting about being the prospective Princess of Yan’s Ninth Prince. Are you out of your mind!” The Bai family guard appraised ng Zhaorong from head to toe.
“Let go of , I am ng Zhaorong, daughter of Yan’s Minister ng!”
“Did you hear that, she admitted… she’s from Yan, fabricating her identity to enter our Zhou, how suspicious!” The Bai family guard shouted, pointing at ng Zhaorong.
“Suspicious behavior, take her away!” commanded the lead patrol officer.
“Let go of ! Let go of !”
ng Zhaorong was shouting when a spacious, luxurious carriage slowly stopped at the door. Looking inside, she saw Bai Qingyan leisurely walking towards the entrance, surrounded by Wei Zhong, Chun Zhi, and the guards.
Chun Zhi noticed ng Zhaorong and whispered in Bai Qingyan’s ear, “Miss, it’s the girl from Yan’s garnt shop yesterday!”
ng Zhaorong, already being dragged away by the patrol soldiers, turned her head, stretching her neck as she shouted loudly, “Emperor of Zhou, I am ng Zhaorong, daughter of Yan’s Minister ng, the fiancée of Yan’s Ninth Prince!”
Bai Qingyan, holding Chun Zhi’s hand, stepped out of the posthouse and leisurely boarded the carriage, paying no attention to ng Zhaorong.
ng Zhaorong saw Bai Qingyan boarding the carriage, and the Bai family guards mounted their horses and slowly left. Her heart sank as she realized she was being arrested as a Yan spy, feeling her scalp tingle in panic, she frantically shouted, “Is there a Cui Trading firm in the city? Your Zhou wealthy rchant Cui Gongxing… Cui Fengnian’s store! Please send a ssage to Cui Trading firm, they will confirm my identity!”
The patrolling soldiers, carrying out orders, paid no heed and simply followed the rules to arrest people.
Bai Qingyan in the carriage was indifferent to ng Zhaorong’s cries, but Chun Zhi, feeling pleased, lifted the carriage curtain to glance outside. “Are Yan’s maidens so shaless? What does it an to be a prospective princess, causing a fuss without even being engaged, is there no sense of decency left.”
Bai Qingyan’s eyes were distant, calm, without a hint of emotion. Possibly, Jintong had a vague premonition of deception in ng Zhaorong’s words while assisting this ng Zhaorong to Feng County. Recognizing the hardship of being a woman, she helped while keeping an eye on her.
However, Jintong may have underestimated this noble Miss… Otherwise, how did ng Zhaorong escape Jintong’s watch and still dare to co to Tiann Pass to et her.
Recalling ng Zhaorong asking the shop assistant for a storybook in the Feng County garnt shop, the shop assistant obliged…
Thus, that storybook was likely also ng Zhaorong’s doing!
What a tale of romance and mischief.
Bai Qingyan’s lips curved into a slight smile. She ordered Chun Zhi to find that storybook and, lifting the carriage curtain, called out, “Wei Zhong…”
Riding on horseback, Wei Zhong heard Bai Qingyan’s call. He promptly pulled the reins, slowed down, rode alongside the carriage, and respectfully said, “This old servant is here!”
“Send soone to relay a… ssage to Yan’s Ninth Prince, detailing our encounter with ng Zhaorong in Feng County and her coming to Tiann Pass seeking , explain everything clearly.” Bai Qingyan’s tone was neutral, handing the storybook to Wei Zhong, “Including this storybook matter.”
“Yes! Rest assured, Miss, this old servant will ensure everything is explained thoroughly!” Wei Zhong quickly accepted the storybook with both hands.
