Chapter 880: Revised - 877: The New Law
The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau reached an agreement within half an hour, and Bai Qingyan’s ascension ceremony was set for June 20. They immediately dispatched envoys to various nations, inviting their envoys to attend the ceremony.
Although "various nations" was mentioned, it really meant notifying the Yan Kingdom, Xiliang, and the Rong.
With the date of ascension set, Bai Qingyan took advantage of a break while the ministers were having a meal, walked out of the hall, and called for the Bai family guards to ask if Bai Jinxiu had sent any news back and if they had caught up with King Liang... and rescued the Eldest Princess.
The Bai family guards shook their heads, stating that Bai Jinxiu had led his troops towards Luohong City, but they had yet to receive any news.
Bai Qingyan was silent for a moment before instructing the Bai family guards to send a message back to Shuoyang to report their safety...
"Also, inform the ladies of the Bai family that my ascension ceremony is set for June 20, and there’s no need for them to rush to Dadu City. Later, Bai Qingjue will lead the Bai family army back to Shuoyang, and he will personally escort the Bai family ladies to Dadu City."
"Young Lady!" The Bai family guards looked at Bai Qingyan in disbelief. Was the seventh young master still alive?!
Seeing the expression of the Bai family guards, Bai Qingyan’s eyes welled up, and she smiled and nodded, "Go on! Deliver the message! Let them know that the seventh young master is still alive!"
The Bai family was no longer in a precarious situation. Bai Qingyan and her family had fought their way to this point, standing where they were today, so that her brothers and the Bai family army could return with honor!

Liu Hong and Yang Wuce had already taken people to announce the decree to the noble families in Dadu City, informing them that the ascension ceremony of the Empress of Zhou was set for June 20.
