Chapter 803 - 800: New Year’s Eve
Bai Qingyan’s palm tightened, her fingers almost pierced through the letter. She threw the letter into the fire basin, stood up, and walked behind the desk to write a reply to Bai Jinxiu.
In the letter, she informed Bai Jinxiu that regardless of whether the Emperor wanted to take five hundred boys and girls to the Nine-tiered Platform to use their lives to refine the elixir of immortality or merely to seek the elixir, the news that the Emperor plans to use five hundred children for alchemy should be spread discreetly, ideally causing panic among the people within Jin Kingdom.
In this way, Prime Minister Lu and others will surely persuade the Emperor and the Crown Prince to stabilize the people of Jin Kingdom.
Even if they fail to dissuade the Emperor, the people, upon hearing the rumors, will be cautious. They won’t be eager to send their children to walk the Nine-tiered Platform with the Emperor. With the rumors... the people will not hand over their children to Li Mingrui, preventing the Emperor from taking their children to the Nine-tiered Platform.
If this still doesn’t prevent the Emperor from gathering the boys and girls, Bai Qingyan’s time will be limited, and she must capture Hancheng of Daliang Kingdom before the Nine-tiered Platform is completed.
Furthermore, Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinxiu to send more people to monitor Fan Yuhuai’s family. If necessary, they could take the chance to bribe the servants of Fan Mansion.

But the most important reason Bai Qingyan didn’t mention is that she hopes to have Bai Jinxiu leave Dadu City because after capturing Hancheng for rebellion against Jin, transferring Bai Jinxiu and Brother Wang out would cause too much commotion.
This time... it’s just right that the Crown Prince has sent Qin Lang to Baiwo City for his appointment after the new year, thus Bai Jinxiu accompanying Qin Lang would be legitimate.
As for the Qin Mansion in Dadu City, it’ll be left for Jiang Fengchun’s two daughters to deal with on their own!
Moreover, for Xiao Qi, who is still by grandmother’s side...
