Chapter 523: Are You Willing to Go Back and Be the Emperor?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qu Yuanxian asked Zeng Sanshui, “How can we let them know that we’re not here for confrontation?”
Zeng Sanshui raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “Envoy Qu returned from the southern frontier. I should be asking you this, right? Don’t you know anyone in the military camp?”
Qu Yuanxian fell silent. As long as he crossed the border of the southern frontier, he would be killed. He could not shout here.
Suddenly, he remembered the telescope that Bai Wutong had asked someone to develop. It could see clearly from afar.
Immediately, he had an idea.
Qu Yuanxian asked his subordinates to buy white cloth from the nearest county city and wrote a few words in dye. “The special envoy of the Ling Kingdom is here to visit the Great Empress of the Southern Frontier!”
Afraid that one bolt of cloth was not eye-catching enough, Qu Yuanxian got someone to write more than ten bolts of cloth.
After writing it, he propped it up with a wooden stick and waited for the soldiers of the southern frontier to notice it.
When Zeng Sanshui saw the banner, he could not help but snort. “Envoy Qu, aren’t you making the people of Carefree look down on us?”
Qu Yuanxian glanced at him. “This is the emperor’s decree!”
Zeng Sanshui snorted and stopped talking.
The white banner swaying in the wind quickly attracted Lan Jingbai’s attention.
He used the binoculars to read the words on it. Soon, he got someone to report it to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye did not know if he could let the Ling Kingdom’s envoy enter the southern frontier. After he gathered all the information on the envoy, he rode his horse at full speed and returned to tell Bai Wutong.
When Bai Wutong received the letter and saw the words “Bai Shining” on it, the sealed memories of her original body suddenly broke out of the ground.
Bai Shining was the biological father of the original owner.
When her original mother gave birth, he brought Jia Yuqin, who was pregnant outside, home. This caused her original mother to be agitated and have a difficult labor. She died before she could take a look at her daughter.
Jia Yuqin was also naturally promoted as the legitimate wife. On the surface, she doted on the original Bai Wutong, but in fact, she was tortured in all kinds of ways.
Jia Yuqin had originally planned to send the original Bai Wutong away casually. Unexpectedly, the second young master of the Duke took a fancy to her beauty and wanted to marry her.
This marriage attracted Bai Yushui’s jealousy, so she instigated Jia Yuqin to kill the original Bai Wutong.
Killing someone in the courtyard would attract a lot of trouble, especially for the eldest daughter of the Bai family, who was about to come of age and could be sold as a bargaining chip.
The opportunity came quickly. Bai Shining transferred to Jingnan Prefecture and chaos broke out in the capital. Bai Shining had a bad feeling and on the way to pick them up, Jia Yuqin arranged for bandits to force the original Bai Wutong to jump off the cliff on the spot.
Bai Wutong transmigrated just like that. When she woke up, she happened to save Chu Tianbao.
When Bai Wutong saw that there was still Bai Xinshui on the list, she was stunned for a moment.
Bai Xinshui had already become Chu Mingxuan’s secondary consort. How would she accompany her family to the southern frontier?
Could it be that she had been divorced?
Or perhaps someone else had deliberately arranged it.
Emperor Ling Hui had long known about Bai Shining’s relationship with her. He had also investigated the truth back then and specially sent them over for her to deal with.
From the looks of it, Emperor Ling Hui had the intention to maintain peace when he sent people to the southern frontier this time. He would probably not start a war with them for the time being.
Bai Wutong showed the letter to Chu Tianbao and asked him seriously, “If Emperor Ling Hui wants you to go back and become the emperor, are you willing?”
Chu Tianbao closed the letter and said firmly, “Impossible.”
It was already his greatest tolerance not to kill him.
Bai Wutong smiled and leaned forward to kiss his face.. “Hmph, how can being an emperor be better than sleeping with an emperor, right?”
