Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 838

Chapter 838: Chapter 835: Compassionate Heart of a Loving Father

Bai Jinxiu, though disappointed with the Crown Prince, still said, "Perhaps the Hidden Guards in the Crown Prince’s residence have already been secretly... dealt with! King Liang wants to pin the crime of regicide on the Crown Prince before my eldest sister and General Liu capture Daliang Kingdom’s capital and return, and then ascend to the throne smoothly!"

She looked up at the Crown Prince’s grim face and continued, "By then... King Liang, being of royal blood, will have ascended to the throne as the Emperor, what can anyone do about it!"

The Crown Prince pressed his thin lips tightly together, his fingers rubbing silently.

Bai Jinxiu had no choice but to say, "If the Crown Prince still has doubts, please send someone to recall the Hidden Guards arranged around King Liang’s residence by the Crown Prince’s residence. But I guess... they definitely won’t be able to return!"

Bai Jinxiu did not reveal that it was her eldest sister who ordered the surveillance on King Liang’s residence, and indeed... King Liang had already dealt with those Hidden Guards of the Crown Prince. Bai Jinxiu did not want to show too much sharpness, so she used the word "guess" to let the Crown Prince investigate himself.

Recalling the Wude Gate rebellion, the Crown Prince’s palm tightened as he shouted, "Quan Yu, send someone to recall one of the Hidden Guards stationed at King Liang’s residence, I have something to ask."

Seeing that the Crown Prince had already given the order, Bai Jinxiu added, "Your Highness, before coming to the Crown Prince’s residence, Jinxiu took the liberty to inform General Fu Ruoxi and the retired General Xie Yuchang to protect Your Highness. If Your Highness trusts Jinxiu and trusts General Xie, please... issue a decree to General Xie Yuchang, so that General Xie can rightfully take over the position of head of the Imperial Guards. If there are enough Imperial Guards loyal to the Emperor and the Crown Prince, General Xie can safeguard the Emperor’s safety."

"Let’s wait a bit longer... I still don’t believe that Minister Fan would betray me!" The Crown Prince’s face was a bit ugly, he thought he had treated Fan Yuhuai well. Last time, he personally met with Fan Yuhuai when he sent a gift to Hongmei for his son’s future, telling Fan Yuhuai that he was his man, and that if there were any issues, he should come to him, the Crown Prince. He had shown Fan Yuhuai great favor, how could Fan Yuhuai betray him!

"Your Highness, not everyone is like the Bai family, and not everyone is like my eldest sister... who is unwaveringly loyal to Your Highness!" The more Bai Jinxiu looked at this Crown Prince, the more disappointed she became.

She came late at night, it must have been for some extremely important matter, yet this Crown Prince kept her here for nearly two hours...

Nearly two hours! How many things could be done in that time!

Not distinguishing between what is urgent and what is important, and being overly confident, even if the Crown Prince successfully ascends the throne, such a person in charge of the state... would definitely not be better than the current situation!

Before this, Bai Jinxiu thought that perhaps some of the Crown Prince’s policies were because of the Emperor, but now it seems... she had overestimated this Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince pressed his lips tightly and instructed Quan Yu, "Go and invite Mr. Fang and Mr. Ren!"

Not long after, Ren Shijie hurried over alone, and had to tell the Crown Prince that Mr. Fang had gone out of the city on some matter and would definitely return within ten days.

Bai Jinzhi recounted the matter to Ren Shijie again, and just as she finished speaking, the people sent by the Crown Prince’s residence to find the Hidden Guards at King Liang’s residence returned, saying they couldn’t find a single one.
