Chapter 610 - 607: Selfishness_1
"Greetings to the Princess of Zhen. What a coincidence... The Crown Prince was just about to send me to invite you, and here you are," Quan Yu said with a smile.
Bai Qingyan dismounted and handed her dark horsewhip to the Bai family guard behind her. She straightened her sleeves and asked, "Crown Prince, is there something you need?"
"Not exactly. Mr. Xiao has just arrived at the Crown Prince’s residence, so the Crown Prince asked me to invite you over," Quan Yu replied respectfully, bowing slightly and gesturing for Bai Qingyan to enter. "Please, Princess of Zhen..."
Xiao Rongyan arriving suddenly in Dadu City led Bai Qingyan to surmise it was due to the Yan and Rong tribes’ alliance to attack Nanrong.
Xiao Rongyan, being the Ninth Prince of Yan, naturally prioritized Yan’s interests. His purpose in visiting the Crown Prince’s residence was likely to ensure the Crown Prince of Jin would remain neutral and not interfere in Yan and Rong’s attack on Nanrong, thereby allowing Yan to easily capture Nanrong and eventually putting Jin in a precarious position for future annexation.
However, Bai Qingyan’s uncle, Dong Qingyue, had plans and arrangements in Nanrong, not to mention A Yu was still there. Bai Qingyan knew she couldn’t let Xiao Rongyan have his way.
The two had a prior agreement, but now that they stood opposed, Bai Qingyan would show no leniency.
The Crown Prince and Xiao Rongyan were having a lively conversation in the main hall, not expecting Bai Qingyan to arrive so quickly. Upon hearing Quan Yu report Bai Qingyan’s arrival, the Crown Prince was surprised and immediately had her ushered in.
